Closing the Macbook screen while playing music.

Is there a way I can close my Macbook screen, and still play music? Without my computer going to sleep?
Thanks!
Justin.

I have been looking for an answer for it myself and here are the opons :
1.having an external diplay will disable slep mode with close lid.
2.there are programs that will force it to not go to sleep (sleepless,insomnia ) - risky !!!
3.turn off the screen (by dim all the way) and keep it almost closed ....
i know non of the above are perfect for you and its realy nice to have it closed when not in use but apple will not give you service if you use the programs and it will overheat.....so dont. please,dont.

Suspending the Screen while playing music...

I noticed while playing music for long periods of time this bad boy gets hot. So I tried suspending the screen while playing music. The screen shut off but the music still plays ;0) (go apple). So now I shut the screen off when playing music and that seems to help the battery life as well as the heat it puts off.

Lock screen while playing music and charging

I thought recently Apple had made a change so that the lockscreen would show your album art while playing music AND charging at the same time. Right now I'm playing music and charging, but the lock screen shows the battery charging. Is this a change or am I mis-remembering?

That is strange. I do not get album art when the phone is locked and an album is playing. All my albums have album art too. I will reboot and try again, maybe it's a bug in iOS4.1?
FIXED !!! -- I just rebooted my iPhone and now it works. Strange.

How to restore the volume control while playing music in iTunes

How do I recover the volume control (slider at the bottom of the screen) in iTunes when playing music? After I plugged the device into an iHome speaker, the volume control dissappeared.

generdude,
Not that I know of, but you can turn it off completely by going to System Preferences...>Sound>Sound Effects>Alert volume: (Uncheck) Play feedback when volume is changed.

Can the cover on the macbook pro be closed while playing music?

Air is drawn in through the keyboard for cooling, so I would recommend leaving it open 1/2-1" so the air can move.

Ios 7 lock screen and music player bug. if you unlock the phone while playing music it restarts the song .

Here the same discussion for iPods...

I had the same problem and did a reboot, for me that solved the problem.
How to reboot your iPhone:
1. Hold down the Home button (that’s the big button in the lower front) and the Sleep / Wake button (that’s the little button on the top right) down.
2. Keep holding until you see the screen go black and then the Apple logo appear.
3. Voila! Your iPhone has been rebooted. Resume your blissful life and forget that anything bad happened with your iPhone.

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and slide the scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. I have not changed any settings

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. As far as i know, i have not changed any settings. This is whle my phone is locked both on the slide up toolbar/menu interface and on the normal screen before i slide to unlock.

I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue. I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off. I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then, test it out again. Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.

Touch screen doesnt work only while playing music.

While playing music, the touch screen does not respond. I can only change songs by locking, then double tapping the home button. The touch screen works fine for all apps and home screen. I can't change albums, songs or anything. I have not dropped the Ipod or exsposed it to water. Have no insurance on it. Thank you in advance!

Don't play songs!
If it has never been jailbroke, the following may help.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again while playing music in iTunes. It was fixed but with the last update it has started skipping again.

Has anyone else experienced the stopping and starting again whil playing music in itunes. It was working fine wit the prior fix, but after the last update
it started skipping again.

Try it in another vehicle see if it still happens, at least you can narrow it down to your phone or the car. My 4s play totally fine, I have never had any of those issues. Maybe its time to restore your phone and start over. I would also have someone else play their Iphone in your car, see if it happens to them. Or try yours in someone elses car. Good Luck!

While playing music in iphone, the view switches too easily to landscape

While playing music in iphone, the view switches too easily to landscape. All I have to do is rotate the Iphone by what seems like only a few degrees, and it gets stuck in landscape (cover art) view. To get it back in portrait (current track) view, I have to rotate it again. Is there a way to get rid of the landscape view? I hardly ever want to see cover art not related to the current track.
Thanks
from Pittsburgh

lol.
I meant that it barely takes a tilt for it to turn. For example, if I'm wearing it on a belt clip. Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity?

Why does slideshow stop while playing music

I can play music while watching a slide show using photos only when non-tethered.
If I tether my ipod and use the PC itunes to play music from the ipod, the slide show stops frequently. I listen while tethered so that I can use my headphones for other PC applications (like my employers VOIP software).
In between each song, the ipod screen says Synchronizing even though all my synchronization options are set to "no". When the ipod screen says Synchronizing, the slide show of the photos stops.
I am looking for a free (or cheap) application as a workaround.

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: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod Touch 2G Crashing while playing music

Hello,
I've recently had a problem that while playing music, my iPod Touch 2G (4.2.1) has been freezing/crashing seemingly spontaneously. The symptom is an abrupt stop of music playback, coupled with the screen stuck with whatever it was displaying at the moment of the crash. Restarting using the Lock and Home buttons seems to remedy the issue temporarily, but I'm rather frustrated. Any advice short of a restore? I am willing and able to restore it, it's just so bloody long to get everything working properly again >.>
Thanks for your help!

Since you said resetting really does not fix the problem restore is you only option.
I would try restoring from backing first that will leave your iPod like it was before the backup. However, there may be corruption that is in your backup and restoring from backup may not solve the issues and restoring to factory defaults/new iPod may be necessary.

Crackling sound while playing music in HP SPECTRE 15-4010nr Ultrabook

Hi all,
I have recently bought [4th Jan. 2013 ] HP SPECTRE 15-4010nr Touchsmart ultrabook with beats audio.
I am very unhappy with sudden/random crackling bursts of noise while playing music.
The problem is not restricted to hp inbuilt speakers as it also reaches on headphones, so it's something internal to laptop.
Its really disappointing to have such a bugging issue from this high end laptop.
Please let me know if there is a solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance!!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Yeah even for me it seems unhooking power adapter does the trick !
Even my Laptop is just 4 weeks, how could manufacturers let so common bug seep through their high end laptops.
Are these not tested for audio video quality ?
Anyways I need an alternate fix as I do not want to lose my laptop for a month, in exchange or return process.
P.S.: Sound drivers re-installation is of no use.
HP Guys, thanx for ur concern, but if u can give a fix for AC adapter noise interfernece it will be great. !!
