Charging and listening at the same time?

Is there a way to play and charge the Shuffle at the same time??

Well considering that the charging/data USB cable and the headphones use the same jack, it doesn't seem possible. Maybe a y-cable would allow it, but some of the contacts in the headphone jack may serve two different purposes depending if the iPod is charging or playing, so may not be able to do both at the same time.
On the other hand, you may be able to play the iPod through your computer while charging it. Set up the iPod for manual mode then if you plug it into a computer with iTunes installed, you can play music out of the iPod on your computer.

Charge and Listen at the same time?

I am new to the IPOD experience, and I am listening to my IPOD Nano at work, without ITUNES. I want to listen to the IPOD and charge it at the same time. But it seems while the IPOD is charging, the "do not disconnect" icon is blinking, and I can't play any songs. The only thing I can do is "eject" the IPOD, and then I can listen. But even though it's plugged in, I don't think it's charging. I tried to download my music to some other media player on my office computer, but no luck. I am not allowed to download software, so I can't put ITUNES on my desktop. Any advice?

even though you "eject" your ipod, it is still charging. and listening to it while it is chargin is okay.

How can I charge and listen at the same time?

I'm using a windows PC and the USB connector. If I plug the cable in, iTunes automatically opens and I get the "do not disconnect" message and can't play music.
If I eject my iPod from iTunes, it doesn't charge anymore.

You can listen to the music on your iPod through iTunes. Just click on the nano icon where the library and store and playlists are and hit play at the top. If you want to listen to it while charging, you can do that by using a wall adapter to charge. I do this at work when my battery starts to get low.

Charge ipod and listen at the same time?

hi,
i sit at my desk for about 8 hours at work and would like to charge my ipod at my computer via usb and listen at the same time. is this possible? it's a pc computer here at work. and it does not have itunes installed and i don't see having itunes on it as a possibility.
i don't like having to charge it, wait about an hour, then listen for a few hours, then charge it again.
also, do you notice any battery "leakage"? i mean, i have some battery power at night when i turn it off, (yes, i do turn it off b/c the screen goes blank) and then when i get into work and try to turn it on, i get this battery looking thing and have to charge it.
it's possible that the ipod came on while i was walking (it's in my bag), but this happens too often for me to think that it does.

You'll need iTunes if you want to access your iPod and listen through your PC. Also you'll need to set it to manual update, see the articles below.
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing Your Songs Manually
When your iPod is in your pocket make sure you have the lock on to disable the controls otherwise it is liable to get switched on and use battery power.

IPod Touch 4g won't charge and play at the same time

I used to have a 4g Nano that I would play in my car through an aux cable and charge through a cigarette lighter charger. I just got a 4th gen iPod Touch and it no longer lets me charge and play at the same time. If both wires are connected it will only charge and not play, once I pull the charger part out it will play through the speakers. Is there a fix to this? Do I need a different charger so that it won't think it's simply docked?

You would need to turn off hard drive mode via iTunes iPod settings on your home system to do this. I don't know if you have this mode on or off already. I thought I read that there is a way to enable/disable hard drive mode via the iPod buttons but I don't remember how.
Thanks,
Steven

Recording and listening at the same time?

So i'm recording using a usb micrphone, which works fine, i'd like to know how to hear all the instruments through my headphones and record at the same time, so i can actually hear when i need to come in to sing! any ideas?

you're going to have to provide more details on your setup, because that is how GB works.
you'd have to purposefully mute or solo tracks in order to not hear everything playing in your project

Charge and connect at the same time

I'm still waiting to get an N8 so can anyone tell me if it's possible to connect up a charger at the same time as using USB to connect a keyboard/mouse and external storage device via a powered usb hub?
In other words, can I use USB devices while it is being externally powered?
What about when it's using a dock that I've briefly seen on some youtube videos?

Sorry, but we're not allowed to speculate about future releases on these forums.
Cheers!

Can't charge and sync at the same time?

I just bought my iPad 2, and noticed that I can't charge it and sync it at the same time like I can with the iPhone 4. I can if I have it plugged directly into my MacBook, but I use 2 different USB Hubs, and I have the iPad plugged into a hub. Is there a fix for this?
The iPad is running iOS 4.3.
The MacBook is running Mac OS 10.6.6

I have a Griffin PowerDock, and having upgraded the software on my iPhone 3GS to IOS 5.1, I am able to charge and wirelessly synchronise simultaneously.
I am hoping it will be the same for the iPad that I am planning on buying soon, although this will have to be a wall charge because of the extra power needed by the iPad.
The fact that IOS 5.0 allows wireless synchronisation will probably stop any further development in this area by Belkin and Griffin.

Does MagSafe 2 T Connector get hot when charging and using at the same time (while the light still in amber) ?

Hi,
Just want to check out with the other Apple Users here. I am using a Late 2013 rMBP, however the T Connector do get hot while I am charging and using the mac at the same time. Is this normal ? or do I have to drop by an Apple Store to check it out ?
Thanks in advance

Hello there.
It's quite normal for the magsafe 2 connector (magnetic one) to become a bit warm while it's charging your mac. It will be warmer when your battery is low and the heat will start to dissipate as the battery charges. There is absolutely nothing to worry about. Normally your magsafe can go upto 35℃ depending your surrounding temperature. Even mine does. Just remember the warmth should not be untouchable, if that is what you feel take to a apple genius bar to get it checked.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.

Blinking green light and then orange and green at the same time...

I have an Ipod shuffle that was working good before and I don't know why I let it one month and after when I connected it to the computer Windows and Itunes didn't recognized it. It seems to function good because I can listen the songs that were before in the Ipod, and when I don't have battery I connect it to the computer and it seems to charge because after I have battery. The only thing is that when I connect it I don't listen that windows recognize it (like when I connect my USB key) and Itunes neither. Moreover there is a green light blinking two seconds and after green and orange at the same time (little lights) during one second. I can't restore it because it doesn't appear in Itunes.
Do you know what can do that???
Thx

Faites ceci:
- Retirez le Shuffle du socle
- Cliquez sur Démarrer, puis Bouton droit sur "Poste de Travail" et prenez "Gérer" puis double-cliquez sur "Services et applications", puis double-cliquez sur "Services"
-Localisez "Ipod Service", double-cliquez dessus, et cliquez sur le gros bouton "Arrêter" (Statut de Service Smile
-Rebranchez votre ipod, sur le socle.
-Sous Windows, effacez l'intégralité de son contenu. Ou alors faites un bouton droit sur l'icone du "disque" puis formattez.
-Lancez iTunes
-Ce dernier va détecter l'ipod et va vous demander son nom, avec une case en dessous "Remplir automatiquement"
-Laissez cette case validée !
-Pendant que l'ipod se remplit (il convient d'avoir des morceaux dans la bibliothèque iTunes) allez dans longlet "Réglages" de l'ipod, sous iTunes
-Cochez la case "activez l'utilisation comme disque dur"
-Cliquez sur appliquer pour valider cette option !
Vous pouvez maintenant éjecter votre ipod (ne le retirez pas du socle, cliquez sur le bouton approprié sous itunes !) et voilà, tout fonctionnera à merveille !

My SB Audigy 2 card can't use headset and musicamplifier at the same time

Hi, i just bought a SB Audigy 2 [D400] and i have downloaded drivers and programs. I run Windows XP SP2.
The soundcard works fine but it is very very annoying that i physically have to change the jack in the green=line out jack from headset to musicamplifier when i want to use my musicamplifier and change back the jack in the green=line out from musicamplifier to headset when i just want to use the headset/headphones .
In the shop they told my that i can connect both amplifier and headset at the same time and then with creative software control whether there is sound in the headset or in the amplifier. But i can't simple get it work.
I tried to use the green to the amplifier and the headset/speakers in the black (line out 2) and then with creative speaker settings softeware choose headphones but still the ampliefier receive the sound and no sound in the headphones. Why? In fact no matter what configuration i try the headphones doesn't work.
But if i change the jacks so headset is in the green line out then only headset is working and the amplifier doesn't work no matter i put it in sort=line out 2 jack or orange=line out 3 jack.
Can somebody here tell me if it is possible or not to connect both headset and external amplifier and control by software which to play? and how?
please help, thx.
Michael

If you can have an ASIO compatible music playing system, then it might be possible to have system like you wish when using Creative Audigy 2 card. Since ASIO bypasses Windows Audio System, you can use both 'drivers' (ASIO - WDM/MME/DS) side by side.
Say you want to play a game (using headset /w mic) and someone other like to listen music at the same time. With ASIO capable system you can output your music for example to "center L/R (stereo) channels" and same time output sounds from other source (using MME/DS/WDM drivers) to normal output channel (Front L/R). Only thing is, you need to set your speakersystem to 4 or 6 (depending which other channel you're using) (and for better 'balance' to adjust "angle" on THX console. You get the THX console by installing Audigy 2 Zs software).
Try for example http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/463/djs9mo.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
Another option:
Say you want to play music through external amplifier and play game online with your headset + microphone (eg. others but you listen the music, you play games)
--> try free http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/4589/tbp7rz.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
If you use ASIO on BeatPort Player you can select L/R individually from the list(s). Same rules as described earlier.
= You can play from 2 different sources simultaoneusly (ASIO + WDM/MME/DS) to two different outputs without disturbance. The other (WDM/MME/DS) source is set 'automatically' output to (Audigy) "green" port, and the other (ASIO) to "black" or "orange" port (as set).

Holding 'select' and 'menu' at the same time doesn't help. What now?

First, the only thing that would happen when trying to turn it on was that it would show a message with the Ipod support website but nothing else. Now it doesn't even turn on. Pressing 'select' and 'menu' at the same time doesn't help and it is not on Hold. Any ideas or is it just dead?

I have the same problem, only not so far gone. My iPod keeps showing me the logo for a couple seconds, then a red X that tells me to go to apple.com/support. I have been here several times and tried the five R's and nothing has worked. My iPod is also charged and the hold isn't on. My computer isn't recognizing that it is hooked up, my warranty is up and this is my second iPod. My first one's death was completely my fault, but I did nothing to prompt this lock down. I am about ready to try some of the risky hints online to get it to work but I would like something less extreme than taking the thing apart.

3G and wifi at the same time

Can I use 3G and wifi at the same time on my IOS 6 iPhone 4S? I have no Internet at home though the wifi, so I want to use the phones data plan, but I do have a wifi router and want it to use Apple TV etc. Is it possible?

Hi and welcome,
The iPhone will pick WifI over any Cell signal mist of the time. Even if the WiFi signal is weak. It is typically the faster. It can't use both. If you are being charged for you data use I would always opt for WiFi. If you are in an area that has both you and you need to use data services you can switch to airplane mode then turn WiFi back on. You won't receive phone calls during that time but you won't be using Cell Data either.
Hope this helps,

Charging 2 batteries at the same time -- T410s

Is it possible to simultaneously charge both batteries, while they are inside my thinkpad? If so, how?
I'm referring to the ultrabay and regular 6 cell battery.
If I can charge them both at the same time, does it help to have the 135 watt charger? (You might have seen my other post about 135 watt charger)
Thanks for looking/helping. Cheers!

Do you know if both ultrabay and regular batteries can be charged at the same time while the computer is running?

My Ipad mini does not see my printer. my wife's ipad2 does. We both use IOS8 and upgraded at the same time. How can I remedy this?

OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.
