Signs the hard drive is failing

  • Sad face or folder icon at startup

    The iPod boots to a sad face or a folder with an exclamation point (on the 6th/7th Gen, a red X) and goes no further.

  • Clicking, freezing, skipping

    A ticking or clicking from the back, songs that skip or stall, menus that freeze while the drive spins.

  • Restore keeps failing

    iTunes or Finder cannot complete a restore, or the iPod reports errors in disk mode.
