Can I charge by USB and play at same time?

I take my ipod classic to work and charge through the USB on my PC at work. Can I play this at the same time it is charging? I can't seem to figure out how to do this but I hope I can because my battery doesn't stay charged very long anymore and would like to be able to play it while charging it. Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks. Gary

Ron, got to work, plugged in USB for iPod, ejected and listened for a couple of hours with it left plugged into USB port. The whole time the battery was decharging and was half gone when finished so was not charging when listening. Any other ideas on how to listen to music and charge at the same time connecting by USB to a PC? Thanks. Gary

  • Is it possible to record and play at same time in swift, is there a option to record without storing the file

    I am making a microphone, is it possible to record and play at same time in swift, is there a option to record without storing the file

    Its pretty simple with FMS. You just need to do following things:
    Publish using FMLE with following settings: (just telling which are needed , rest you configure based on your needs)
    Video codec: H.264
    Audio Codec: <of your choice>
    Server ip: rtmp://<server-uri>/<app-name>
    Stream Name: mp4:<stream-name>.f4v
    Application : Server-side code
    application.onPublish = function(myclient,mystream){
         mystream.record();
    application.onUnpublish = function(myclient,mystream){
         mystream.record(false);
    Have a client , which subscribes in following live mode:-
    ns.play("mp4:<stream-name>.f4v",-1,0,true);   // this is subscribing in live mode
    In this way even if file is recorded, your clients are subscribing in live mode so all will be in sync.
    Now if you want to disallow any clients who will try to subscribe to "recorded" file when live event is going on, you can achieve using auth adaptor. (let me know if you want to enforce such requirement)
    But i think above solution solves your primary problem. Also please let me know if there are any issues in getting it work , i have given bare minimum which is required.

  • My iPhone 5c and iPad mini won't charge. Can both charger ports be broken at the same time?

    MMy iPhone 5c is dead and wont charge. My iPad mini also won't charge. So I thought it was my charge wire or charging block might be the proble. I've used other wores and other blocks and also plugged it into by laptop and neither are charging. So it would see that the charging port is broken on both. But it seems odd that both would break on the same day. Both are under a year old and I only ever use official Apple charging devises. Help!

    Good day Hollixd,
    Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone 5c and iPad mini are not charging. It does seem odd that both devices are not charging from multiple chargers.
    There are a few more steps that may help you charge your devices. Next, I'd try steps 1, 2, 4 and 5 from the article If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:
    Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
    If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
    Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
    If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
    If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, reset your device.
    If your devices still don't charge after trying all of these steps, the article suggests contacting Apple Support:
    If your device still doesn't charge or you still see an alert after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
    Sincerely,
    Jeremy

  • How can I sync over itunes and at the same time sync over icloud?

    Hello,
    I just recently updated my iTunes to the latest version and now run into the following challenge. With the "old" iTunes I was able to sync my Outlook calendar from my company computer over iTunes with my iPhone and my iPad. At the same time I was able to sync my private appointments on my iPhone over iCloud with my iPad. That way my appointments from my company computer appeared in a different color on my mobile devices as my private appointments and everything was fine.
    Now, after updating iTunes, I cannot sync my Outlook calendar from my company computer anymore - iTunes is just telling me I choose to sync my calendar over iCloud and leaves me no option anymore to sync "manually" in addition to the iCloud with iTunes.
    How can I solve the issue? Basically, how can I sync my company appointments with my iPhone without using iCloud on my company computer?

    Hi,
    I have the same issue and I can tell that it really *****. Now I have to manually copy cal items to my icloud calendar to have the business cal items on my iphone.  have looked into codetwo for icloud which is nice for notes, tasks and contacts but it only works for business cal items which I myself have created not for items for which I was invited. Contacted their support but I think it won't help.
    If you have any suggestions how to overcome this problem, I'd be glad if you posted your solution.
    Thx in advance
    iphone 5, iOS 6.0.1, icloud for windows 2.1, windows 7 64bit

  • Can't Use Wi-Fi and VPN At Same Time

    Newby to the iPhone, so forgive me if this is a basic setup issue that I have overlooked...
    I have a user that when she is at home wants to connect to her Wi-Fi network AND connect to our VPN to sync with email. She cannot do both. When connected to Wi-Fi the VPN does not connect. Turning Wi-Fi off, she can connect. Is this normal?
    Thanks in advance.

    Richard,
    Yes that is a normal operation of the iPhone. It can only utilize one connection type at a time weather it is Edge, WiFi, or VPN

  • HT1660 can iTunes Playlists be exported and played from a USB drive or an SD card in Ford Sync ?

    can iTunes Playlists be exported and played from a USB drive or an SD card in Ford Sync ? I've been racking my brain trying to get playlists from itunes onto a flash drive and/or SD card to play in Ford Sync. It seems the playlists are "empty" and not associated with any corresponding music files. Sync responds saying "playlists are empty" ?
    The only "work around" I have been able to do is create separate folders on the flash , and name the folders for each corresponding  playlist and copy and paste the appropriate music into the appropriate folders. The limitation being Sync can not recognize folders by voice commands. It recognizes voice commands for playlists, but apparently NOT iTunes playlists ??

    I have an external network hard drive with a shared music folder (WD MyBookLive), which I can access from Home Sharing and play music on my Windows computers.

  • How can I listen to itunes and play a game at the same time on my ipad 4?

    How can I listen to itunes and play a game at the same time on my ipad 4? This means I need to run 2 apps at the same time itunes and my game.  The game has its own sound control so I can turn off its sound while i listen to itunes tracks.  But I don't know how to set it up so the ipad does both.

    Anytime you open an app that has a persistant sound stream - a movie, a podcast, some games - it will overide the music app's stream. nothiong you can do to change it.

    How can you listen to music and play a game at the same time?
    I am playing music, by starting the Crash Baandicoot Nitro Kart 3D game it shuts off the music playing. Is there a way around this?
    It seems like this should be possible.

    Select the music play list you want to listen to and start it playing. Go back to the home screen and start the app you want to use, music will stop. Press the home button two time quickly and it will bring up a simple control for controling the music. This works for me with all of the apps I have purchased including games. Just a note you can pull up the same music control if the iPod is a sleep and locked by pressing the button three times quickly.

  • Can I listen to  music and play a game at same time?

    I would like to listen to music and play a game at the same time. For example can I listen to Pandora and play a card game? How? When I try to go from 1 app to another one closes.

    you can listen to music thats in the iPod part of the phone and play a game, but you can't listen to music from apps like Pandora and use another app to play a game

  • When I sync iphone to itunes, why do my soundtracks not show as albums but via artist?  IE: Pulp Fiction has 16 songs by different artists.  In itunes I can pull up pulp fiction and play the 16 songs.  In iphone sync the 16 songs are seperate

    When I sync iphone to itunes, why do my soundtracks not show as albums but via artist?  IE: Pulp Fiction has 16 songs by different artists.  In itunes I can pull up pulp fiction and play the 16 songs.  In iphone sync the 16 songs are seperate and listed by Al Green, cowboy junkies etc... How to fix this so the ipod part of my iphone will show & play the soundtracks as albums... thanks.

    What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    If you have chosen selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres - if Pulp Fiction is available under the Albums section to be selected as an Album to be transferred to your iPhone, is it selected?
    If so, when you select Albums via the iPod on your iPhone, the album is not available there to select?
    You can always create an iTunes playlist with these songs placing the songs in your preferred order.

    My iPad mini keeps turning itself off and then the apple logo keeps flashing constantly, i have charged it fully and restored it many times. what can i do?

    If you have restored to factory settings and started as new, there is nothing more that you can do on your own. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask them for help. You might have a hardware problem and the Apple Store techs will be able to determine that.

  • Can an Airport extend a wireless network and support a USB printer at the same time?

    Can an Airport extend a wireless network and support a USB printer at the same time?

    Yes, if the AirPort Express is extending the wireless signal produced by another Apple router. The Express cannot wirelessly extend a network produced by a non-Apple router.
    In addition to extending the network and connecting a printer, AirPlay can also be enabled on the AirPort Express, with all services operating simultaneously.
    Please note that only the print function will work if you connect an All-in-One type device to the USB port on the Express. Advanced features like copy, scan, mainentance, etc are not supported when an All-in-One device is connected to the USB port on an AirPort router.

  • How can I browse my network and play my media files?

    I installed a free file explorer on my Android tablet. I can easily browse my network shares and access all my media content. I can play my movies, music, TVshows, anything by just browsing to the folder and selecting the file to play. It took me 5 minutes to figure this out on my Android tablet. I've been trying to do this for about 3 hours on my new ipad 3. I have yet to even find a file browser type app. Please don't tell me there is no way you can do this with an ipad. There is no way to play all your multi-media files with my very expensive ipad. I have so much media content I would love to access via my ipad, but I can't. Has Apple done this on purpose to lock down their devices so users can't do anything flexible? This is a HUGE difference between Android / iOS.
    Also, I'm able to visit music.google.com on my Android to play my music. Besides iTunes, does Apple have a way the user can access a simple website and play their music files? I'm finding all this very troublesome and such a limited factor with Ipad. Please help!
    If it ends up that Apple's brand new ipad can't easily browse a network and play media files then I'm going to return the two of them I bought. Just not a capable device if it can't do something so trivial.
    Thanks.

    I'm still trying to find a way to do this simple task. Everyone has home networks now and not able to simply browse to a folder where you keep your video/music files is quite a problem with such a brand new, ultimate tablet. I can even do this with my Android phone I have. I have terabytes worth of music and movies and if I can't watch them with this ipad tablet then I for sure will return this tablet and buy Android from now on. I'm now finding out how locked down Apple products really are and how limited UNLESS you BUY an app or only go through an Apple type portal. I wonder if people know that you can't play your media you have saved at home with an ipad.
