Signs the hard drive is done on the iPod 4th Gen

  • Making whirring noise

    Repeated clicking (the click of death: click, click, whir, or grinding) or the sad iPod face usually mean the hard drive is failing. Flash storage is the silent alternative to a new drive. On the 4th Gen and Photo we can often fix the hard drive without replacing it, and in most cases all songs are saved.

Hard drive help for the iPod 4th Gen

  • 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.
