Using your iPod as an external hard disk (disk use enabled) shouldn't prevent you from listening to the songs on it.
If you are trying to listen to the songs on the iPod through iTunes, you need to set your iPod to manual transfer.

    Yes if the BT device supports the profiles supported by the iPod. See:

    The A2DP provide is used with speaker and headphones
    The Hands Free profiles (HFP) is typically used with headset (headphones and mic).

  • Safe to listen to music while charging Ipod mini?

    Hello all,
    I been trying to find information (google and this forum) about this but had no luck.
    I was wondering if it's safe to listen to music while you are charging the Ipod?
    The equipment that I have is a 2nd Gen Ipod mini. I also use the USB Power adapter (good thing to have).
    Best regards!

    Hi Vamp2390,
    Thanks for you reply. I have been reading a lot that you can do to save the IPod's battery life and how to take care of it but I could not find anything related to use it while it's been charged.
    It also looks like there are accessories, like speakers and car lighter adapters that allows you to use your IPod while is being charged.
    In the mean time, I'll use my trusty AC Adapter and use my IPod while is charging.
    Regards!

  • Can't listen to music while playing a game

    Why can't I listen to my music while playing a downloaded app game? The game's sounds seem to be the default, can this be changed?

    i dont think it works with all apps, but for a lot of them you can do it using this method, if the apps have a 'settings' option, you can usually turn the app sounds/music off, then double click the home button in order to access the music functions.
    applegenius,
    if an app has background music normally, then replacing it with something of your own is sometimes preferable. and some of us can multi-task, listening to music AND using apps! lol.

  • Can I listen to music from my iphone 4 using an in-ear bluetooth set?

    Hi,
    I'm looking to buy an in-ear (mono) bluetooth device.
    I would like to be able to listen to music from my iphone through the device.
    Not looking for something fancy.
    What specs do I have to look for? Version 2.0? A2DP? Any specific models recommended?
    Thanks

    A2DP is a Bluetooth profile.  If both Bluetooth devices have that profile, then they can share information in that way.  See here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile

  • How can I listen to music from iTunes on ATV using my macbook speakers?

    I am using iTunes to play music via Airplay on ATV, my TV as a 2nd monitor from where I'm using iTunes. I'd like to hear audio in speakers connected to my macbook instead of the TV. Could I do that? Please help me txs!!

    Not possible.
    If the intent is to get sound from the speakers on the computer, play the content on the computer and leave the ATV and TV out of the equation.

  • Can you listen to music without the headphones?

    Can you listen to music on the iPod Classic without the headphones?

    The Classic does not have an internal speaker, so either you need to:
    plug in headphones
    connect the iPod to an amplifier and speakers (from the headphone socket)
    connect it to an iPod Dock cable and plug that into an amplifier
    Place the iPod into the Dock on something that has a Dock connector and amplifier built in.

  • I have an Ipod 5 and you can not listen to music unless you have headphone plugged in

    I have an Ipod 5 and you can not listen to music unless you have headphones plugged in

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

    Hello,
    I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
    Hope that helps!
    If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
    Cheers!

  • While using the airport express can I listen to music streaming from the Internet?

    While using the airport express can I listen to music streaming from the Internet?

    The music must be in your iTunes library.
    Or, you can try to add a special application like Airfoil that may allow you to stream any audio signal on your computer to the AirPort Express. It might work.

  • Can't access the music on my iPod, iTunes freezes up

    Hello out there, I have a problem with my fifth generation 30 GB iPod video. It has worked like a dream until yesterday. I plugged my iPod into my computer (HP laptop running Windows Vista) and it showed up in iTunes as usual. I dragged three albums onto my iPod and it did the usual routine of updating. When it was done I clicked the eject symbol in the iTunes menu and waited for the battery to show on the iPod screen before disconnecting. I turned on the iPod to listen to these new tunes and now my iPod appears to be blank. Under artists, albums, songs, etc there are no longer any options.
    Okay, I have the day off from work so I figure I'll just sync it back up and put all 30 gigs back on. I plug the iPod in, iTunes opens automatically, and then freezes. After unplugging the iPod itunes resumes working. I try this several more times, restart the computer, restart the iPod, etc and it keeps doing the same thing.
    Frustrated (as this happened once before with a much older iPod several years ago) I headed over to these forums. From looking around I saw the five R's that are always suggested. After reseting, retrying, and restarting, the problem still persists: I can't access the music on my ipod, and itunes freezes.
    I then updated to the newest version of itunes. This also did nothing to solve the problem. I want to attempt to restore my ipod, unfortunately this is not possible because I can't access the iPod options through itunes because it freezes as soon as the ipod is attached to the computer.
    After reading several threads on these support forums I stumbled on this one: (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1480926&tstart=0) in which a user recommends downloading an alternative iPod manager. I followed the link in that thread and settled on a program called poddox, hoping I could just throw all my music back onto my iPod with it. So I again plugged in my ipod, waited for itunes to freeze, closed it as it was not responding, and opened podox. Podox reported that all of my music is still on the iPod (it says there is less than 200 megs of space available).
    Unfortunately poddox won't work for me either. Upon attempting to use it to remove all the data on my ipod my computer crashed and restarted. This is strange because although itunes freezes when the ipod is plugged in, it still appears as a removable disk in windows.
    I returned to the apple website and downloaded and older, seperate ipod updater software from 2006. I installed the software and it restarted my computer. When I ran the ipod updater I received a message informing me that this software was no longer supported and that if i wanted to update my ipod's software or restore it I should just do it through itunes v.7 or later. The program then quits, and I have no choice.
    I'm about ready to pull my hair out here. What can I do? It seems like a real catch 22 in that I need to restore my ipod for itunes to recognize it but i can't restore it because itunes doesn't recognize it. From what I gather there is no way to restore it without using itunes, is this accurate? What can I do to either delete all the data on my pod and reload it, or make it appear again in my ipod's menu/interface? Any help you guys can give is greatly appreciated, I will be monitoring the responses to this thread in case anyone should need more information from me. Thanks again.

    right, figured it out. had to put it in disk mode, then reconnect, then it was recognized, then i restored and put everything back onto it. hope this helps anyone else who has a similar problem

    How can I listen to music from iphone 4s via apple tv while doing a phone call at the same time?
    When I take a call on the iphone, iphone stops streaming the music to apple tv until I finished the call.
    thx!

    PS: did ask the same question to apple hotline in germany. Answer: we don´t know... funny

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    As far as I know you can't, which sort of makes sense, it seems logical to pause whatever you are doing while you take a phone call, which after all is the primary function of a phone.
