Audiobook stops playing when screen goes dark

When I'm listening to an audiobook on my iPhone4, the sound fades when the screensaver goes dark. I don't recall this being an issue before, but suddenly the only way I can keep the book playing is to keep the screen saver active. I'm using the OverDrive Media app from my local library, and I can't find any settings that have changed. Any suggestions?

Go to your PC's settings and turn off sleeping, or put a longer time before it goes to sleep.

    rental movie on i pad stops playing, then screen goes dark. any solution?

    Quit the video app and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the video app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the video app icon to close it. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Try the app again and see if the movie is there and will play.
    If that didn't work - Search for the movie. From the home screen swipe to the right and the Spotlight Search feature will appear. Type the name of the movie in the field at the top, if the movie shows up in the search, tap on the icon and hopefully it will begin to play. Let it play for a few minutes then tap Done. Return to the video app and see if it is in there now.
    If that doesn't help - reset the iPad - hold down on the sleep andhomee buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad restart and try the video again.

  • Safari on iPhone 5S stops playback once screen goes dark

    This is very annoying. Any time I try to play a track form a website the playback stops when I go to a different app or when screen goes dark or when I lock the screen. I have tried reseting all settings etc etc. Nothing seem to cure this. Is this a known bug? Anyone else has this problem? The same happens if I play an embeded track via Facebook, which basically launches safari and starts playback. Once the screen is dark the playback stops.

    Hi
    Try holding sleep/wake + power button for 10 seconds, until you see the Apple Logo.
    See how that goes.

  • MBP retina: wifi drops out when screen goes dark

    Hi there,
    I've got a MBPr 15inch with the latest OSX version (incl. updates).
    When my screen goes dark after 10 minutes of inactivity, my WIFI connection *always* drops out. So if I'm syncing something over Dropbox for instance, it will stop working. I basically have to make sure my laptop never goes inactive for too long. This is really annoying and one of a few other problems I'm having with this MBPr.
    I've searched these forums, and there are people with similar or related problems but I couldn't find any solution yet.
    Anyone else out there similar problems?
    Thanks,
    Kai

    Hi f, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It sounds like it could be a bad inverter board, but I don't know if that would cause it to happen only while using the power adapter. Depending on your exact model, it could be:

  • When I use Quicktime on my iphone 4S, it stops playing when screen locks now that I updated to iOS 7.  Is there a fix for this?

    I am utilizing a radio station app while doing this.  It used to work before the upgrade.  I could listen all day long, but know when the screen locks or when I hit the home button the station stops.

    You'll need to check on the web portal for the email provider as to whether they use POP, IMAP or both.
    If you are using POP, that protocol isn't designed for access from more than one device.
    The default behaviour for POP is to delete the messages from the server once the email has been downloaded to a PC. IMAP stores everything on the server and the client just caches a copy.

  • Radio stops playing when screen saver activates

    Tried changing screen saver. Open to other options to try. Don't know why a purely visual screen saver would mess with iTunes radio. Any suggestions?

    Seriously. Firefox has been my favorite browser for a while now, but Firefox 4 seems buggy since I downloaded it this morning. If Pandora doesn't work with Firefox 4 I'll have to revert back to 3.6...but what a PAIN IN MY ASS! If this is the future of Firefox...it doesn't look good.
    Thanks for letting me rant here...I already started using Chrome, but there are a few things about Chrome that annoy me to no end...so can't see myself using that one either. Maybe time to check out an up and coming browser.
    Anyway, I'm pissed!!! Just wasted my entire morning trying to figure out what to do about something I shouldn't even have to think about!

  • TS3700 music stops playing when the screen goes dark, but the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in now. what is the problem?

    Music stops playing when the screen goes dark; the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in. what is the problem? How do I Fix it?

    And you are positive the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?
    Have you tried another set of headphones to see if the problem persisted? If so, it's likely that the headphone jack needs replacing.

    What do you mean by this sentence exactly.....top off?
    Any ideas?
    I would post in the MacBook Pro late 2008, 2009 usage forum. Might be hardware related and they know your Mac best.
    If you have one earlier then that, post in the Original MacBook Pro usage forum.In the meantime try a SMC reset again as it controls sleep, wake, shutdown and more.

  • IPad2  audio stops when screen goes to sleep

    As soon as my iPad 2's screen goes dark, the music fades out and stops. Hitting play starts it right back up. Happens the same via BT or the internal speakers. Tried killing all the apps and rebooting the iPad 2 - still happens. It's been working great until today. Any ideas?

  • Edge 540 model : when I connect/disconnect AC power cord, screen goes dark

    For the past few days, everytime I connect the power cord, the screen goes dark for a second. The same thing happens when I disconnect the power cord. Can someone help me find out what is wrong with it? Is it a hardware issue or is it just a momentary glitch (It just started happening yesterday)?
    My laptop is brand new so I can use the warranty if i have to.
    OS: Win 8
    Thank you.

    this is a normal behaviour it happens all the time. It is your refresh rate changing between different power setting. Set the screen refresh rate at 60 hz for both battery and with ac adapter connected this should prevent the momentary blanking of the lcd.

    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
