Apple TV menu showing over now playing screen

My Apple TV menu stays showing over the top of the movie/TV show/music video etc that is selected to play? I can't work out how to make it disappear and can't find any other similar issues in the community - thanks

'Now Playing' screen shows only the outline of a black rectangle

Hey,
As the subject suggests, my 'now playing' screen doesn't show any of the artist/title/album info but rather shows the outline of a black rectangle that takes up most of the screen. When changing the volume the little volume bar doesn't show up either. Everything else seems to be working fine. I don't exactly want to reset my ipod, but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

*Reset is not pushing the central button several
time.
i know, but thats how u cycle through menus
You must hold down the central button AND the menu
button for about 6 seconds, or until you see the
Apple logo. No worry reset doesn't do anything bad,
it does only restart your iPod (like restarting your
computer). Even if you don't use your iPod for about
a day, it will eventually turn off to heavy sleep,
and you will have to start it again (like normally,
only difference is the Apple logo screen).

How Do I Get Siri To Show Me The "Now Playing" Screen?

When I'm driving, it's great to be able to push the home button and get Siri to play a playlist or all songs from an artist.
But how do I get her to show me the Now Playing screen? When you say "show me the 'now playing' screen," (or just about anything similar), she searches the Web. That's not what I want. What is the command to get Siri to switch to the iPod "Now Playing" so I don't have to manually tap through to that screen (and take eyes off the road)? This should be simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks!

You can let Apple know you want this feature.

I lost my "Now playing screen" How do I get it back? All it shows is the album cover and the song list pages

How can I get my "Now Playing" screen back? I can't scroll or change screens at all. All I have is the album picture and the song list page. I can toggle between the two but nothing else. It did this all by itself. Now it's stuck.

what happens when you tap the screen?
Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Is there a way to create a playlist from the now playing screen on ios7?

Is there a way to create a playlist from the now playing screen on ios7? I want to be able to hear a song in my collection and immediately add it to an existing playlist or create a new playlist.
Thank you in advance

Hi Cornellius,
From the now playing screen there's a Create button at the bottom that allows you to create a
Genius Playlist
New Station form Artist
New Station from Song
IPhone Help, Browse and play
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3cf21a82
The Now Playing screen provides playback controls and shows you what’s playing.
For information on Genius Playlists, see
Archived - Genius for iPod and iPhone
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2978
I don't see an option to add it to an existing playlist.
Best Regards,

How do I select which bluetooth speakers to play out of? My iPod connects to both kitchen and living room speakers. My old iPod had a selection icon on the now playing screen, but my new one doesn't.

Hi,
Our setup
A new iPod Touch 5 with iOS 8.3.
Living room speakers that use a Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter.
Kitchen speakers that use an AmazonBasics Bluetooth 4.0 Audio Receiver.
The iPod connects to both but always wants to play to the kitchen. To play in the living room, we have to unplug the power to the kitchen speakers. Bluetooth settings screen doesn't let you select between Bluetooth connections. All I seem to be able to do is forget the connection.
We also have an old iPod Touch (not sure of the generation, but it has iOS 6.1.6). On that one, there is a little icon on the now playing screen that would open a little pull-down menu to let you select which Bluetooth connection to use for playing audio.
I don't see the "select output" icon on the new now playing screen
Jimmy
PS the iPod seems very aggressive in connecting. I hear the living room speakers activate when my wife gets out of the car in the driveway. Then as she comes into the living room, the sound switches to the kitchen.

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

i have tried updating my iphone to a newer version but after the update was completed the phone is not restarting, just the apple logo is showing up on the screen. what is causing that problem?

Re: i tried updating my iphone to a new verison but after the update the phone is not restarting, just the apple sign is showing up on the screen. what is the problem?
I have tried the above fix and iTunes crashes giving error 27 after trying to load the iPhone firmware.
I have booted my phone in DFU mode and this has made no difference.
My mac is up to date.
My iTunes is up to date.
All i tried to do was update my ios as i have been unable to make calls or send text's all day.
Do you have any other suggestions as my phone is no good to me now.
Many thanks,
Lyd_v

Thanks planb77 but i am swiping the now playing screen tothe right and it doesn't go any further, i still can't get the repeat arrows up, any other suggestions?

Maybe it would help to look at the iPod's User Guide. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for more assistance on the repeat setting.

Not sure if this is a game or app or not...it shows nothing about it and explains nothing about it...but it is there on the demo video on the apple website for the add to upgrade to ios 5...it shows the user dragging threads and the little icon monster at the bottom of the screen catches them

Yea thats a game called "Cut the Rope" and it can be found in the App Store for $0.99 or you can buy the Lite version for free.

"Now Playing" screen not displaying

My "Now Playing" screen had always worked (i have this Ipod for approx 1-2 months), and yesterday it stopped displaying what track I was listening too.
All other screens work just fine.
Any ideas?
thanks!

Hello DeeLa, welcome to discussions.
Try resetting your iPod.
You may need to try a few times.
If that doesn't help, try the 5R's.

I can't see the song time in my now playing screen

My little brother got a hold of my ipod and started clicking away like there's no tomorrow. Now, I can't see the song time in my now playing screen, what should I do?
Windows XP

It did help but as soon as i finished restoring it my ipod just froze and it still in the "do not disconnect" screen and it's not moving at all. and it does not even recognize my ipod anymore.

Can't access the artist in "now playing" screen

In the "now playing" screen, we can see all the songs on that particular album (hitting the 3 red lines in top right corner) which is cool. But why can't we get a link to the artist? Sometimes I'd like to hear other songs from that artist on different albums but have to back all the way out, scroll to artist, and find the song. Doesn't seem reasonable to have a direct link to the artists' collection from the "now playing" screen?
Discuss.

i get a unknown error 11222.

Ipod Touch "now playing" screen

I have an Ipod touch that has been updated to 4.3. I don't normally use it as a music player, because I have a Nano and usually take that with me when I'm out and about.
On the "now playing" screen for music, there is no counter for the tracks, sometimes I find this useful, so where has it gone?

I have seen this behavior occasionally with the Music player. Normally, tapping the screen will bring up the scrubber bar/hide it, but, when in this abnormal state, tapping the screen does nothing. To retrieve the normal, correct scrubber bar behavior try shutting down the Music by closing it via the recent apps tray and restarting it.

NOTES - NOW PLAYING screen timing

so i have to read my notes while i listen to my music. the problem is that the notes, if i dont scroll, change back to the NOW PLAYING screen every 10 seconds. is there a way to change this timing so that the notes page will display indefinately?
thanks in advance for any help
