Ibook lid closed while playing music?

hi,
how can i set it up so that my ibook continues to play music even after I close down the "lid"?
thanks.

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions.
Simple answer: You can't.
There are, apparently, unauthorised and probably warrantee busting 'hacks' that will enable you to do this but they are not recommended due to heat dissipation problems. The PowerBook was able to do this 'out of the box', & probably one or both of the new MacBook/Pro Intels, but never the iBook.

Can the cover on the macbook pro be closed while playing music?

can the cover on the macbook pro be closed while playing music?

Air is drawn in through the keyboard for cooling, so I would recommend leaving it open 1/2-1" so the air can move.

Suspending the Screen while playing music...

I noticed while playing music for long periods of time this bad boy gets hot. So I tried suspending the screen while playing music. The screen shut off but the music still plays ;0) (go apple). So now I shut the screen off when playing music and that seems to help the battery life as well as the heat it puts off.

I have been looking for an answer for it myself and here are the opons :
1.having an external diplay will disable slep mode with close lid.
2.there are programs that will force it to not go to sleep (sleepless,insomnia ) - risky !!!
3.turn off the screen (by dim all the way) and keep it almost closed ....
i know non of the above are perfect for you and its realy nice to have it closed when not in use but apple will not give you service if you use the programs and it will overheat.....so dont. please,dont.

Crackling sound while playing music in HP SPECTRE 15-4010nr Ultrabook

Hi all,
I have recently bought [4th Jan. 2013 ] HP SPECTRE 15-4010nr Touchsmart ultrabook with beats audio.
I am very unhappy with sudden/random crackling bursts of noise while playing music.
The problem is not restricted to hp inbuilt speakers as it also reaches on headphones, so it's something internal to laptop.
Its really disappointing to have such a bugging issue from this high end laptop.
Please let me know if there is a solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance!!
This question was solved.

Yeah even for me it seems unhooking power adapter does the trick !
Even my Laptop is just 4 weeks, how could manufacturers let so common bug seep through their high end laptops.
Are these not tested for audio video quality ?
Anyways I need an alternate fix as I do not want to lose my laptop for a month, in exchange or return process.
P.S.: Sound drivers re-installation is of no use.
HP Guys, thanx for ur concern, but if u can give a fix for AC adapter noise interfernece it will be great. !!

ITunes seems to be skipping/hiccuping while playing music during browisng.

Hello Everyone
So for the past month or so I experience intermittent "hiccuping" while playing music through iTunes on my PC. Songs don't skip in the traditional sense of skipping from one song to the next ... instead it's more like a blurp/drag. It lasts for about a second or two and then it stops. It happens mostly when I'm web-browsing. I've tried using another browser but nothing seems to help. my PC is three years old and it came with Windows 7. I've used Windows 8 since it became available so I guess that's about two years now, I'm on to Windows 8.1. My system has a 1TB hard drive, 4 GB of RAM, and an AMD Athlon X4 640 3GHZ processor (I don't know much about processor specs but I thought I'd include it to be as thorough as possible). Of the TB of Hard Drive space, I've used less than 40% of it. I've run virus scans, malware scans, I've made sure my defrags and Windows updates are up to date. There was recently an update to iTunes in the last day or so - and I was really hoping this would be fixed - but the problem seems to be getting worse.
I'm to the point where I'm ready to download Google Play and just use iTunes solely for syncing my iPhone 5s. I cannot continue to put with playing music in iTunes with this problem. I'm at my wit's end. I've considered "dumping" everything on to an external hard drive, wiping my system and starting fresh ...
Anyone have any thoughts, ideas?

It may just be your DVD player. I have found
this
with some of my DVDs. They work fine on my player
and
skip on others.
That results from a high level of burn errors as a
result of low quality media and/or high burn
speeds.
Hmm, maybe. I never (knowingly) use crappy media.
I always use Imation discs (mainly because they are
fully printable - and I thought they were meant to be
good quality). Also, I cant see where to change the
burn speed. I always burn a disc image and then use
Disk Utility to burn a disc. It just does it
automatically and doesn't seem to offer any choices.
How can I get it to burn at slower speed? I'd
prefer not to use third party software if poss.
OK, you've got me worried now.
I've just checked this
http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
and think I'll be off tomorrow to buy some new discs.
Thanks for alerting me.

Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again while playing music in iTunes. It was fixed but with the last update it has started skipping again.

Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again whil playing music in itunes. It was working fine wit the prior fix, but after the last update
it started skipping again.

Try it in another vehicle see if it still happens, at least you can narrow it down to your phone or the car. My 4s play totally fine, I have never had any of those issues. Maybe its time to restore your phone and start over. I would also have someone else play their Iphone in your car, see if it happens to them. Or try yours in someone elses car. Good Luck!

Sound stops while playing music with iTunes Match

While playing music from iTunes Match, the sound stops. The music continues to play but there is no sound. If I double click the song, the sound will start again. But after that song is finished and it advances to the next song. The sound will stop again and I have to double click the song again. Other sounds on my MB-Air will still work. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks

It happens to me too. I listen the most on my iPhone. Song is playing, but no sound. Sometimes I have to close the app and relaunch to recover. Very annoying.

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and slide the scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. I have not changed any settings

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. As far as i know, i have not changed any settings. This is whle my phone is locked both on the slide up toolbar/menu interface and on the normal screen before i slide to unlock.

I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue. I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off. I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then, test it out again. Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.

If you are having issues with sound, check out the article below to troubleshoot the issue further with checking connections with any Bluetooth devices and checking the headset jack to ensure nothing is blocking access.

i have restored it several times.still the problem persists.
restarting the ipod doesnt solve the problem as it freezes again.
even removing the files that freeze doesnt solve the problem.please help

For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

While playing music in iphone, the view switches too easily to landscape

While playing music in iphone, the view switches too easily to landscape. All I have to do is rotate the Iphone by what seems like only a few degrees, and it gets stuck in landscape (cover art) view. To get it back in portrait (current track) view, I have to rotate it again. Is there a way to get rid of the landscape view? I hardly ever want to see cover art not related to the current track.
Thanks

lol.
I meant that it barely takes a tilt for it to turn. For example, if I'm wearing it on a belt clip. Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity?
