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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How can I charge 15 iPods at the same time?

    I have bought 15 iPods to use in my classroom but I hadn't thought about how I was going to charge them.  I thought about a USB hub but am not sure if this would work? Any ideas greatfully recieved. 

    I doubt a regular hub will work since it will not provide enough power. They share the power.  Look at:

  • How can I open and listen to the PDF documents with audio in my iPad?

    How can I open and listen to the PDF documents with audio in my iPad?

    You need to use a PDF reader that supports multimedia. Adobe Reader 10.3 does not. Adobe has not stated whether it will support multimedia in the future.
    In the meantime, you could buy an application that does like PDF Expert. Read about it here:

    My Apple ID and rescue email are reversed. How can I change them both at the same time?

    I'd already used this standard tool (exhaustively!), but for the problem encountered it operated in Catch 22 mode - you had to do two things but neither order was permitted. I did find an answer eventually, but am not sure what it was I did that solved it! Thanks, anyway.

  • 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.

    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.

  • In Elements 7.0, how can I delete multiple photos at the same time?

    In Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0, how can I delete multiple photos at the same time?   Please be a little specific so I can follow your instructions as I'm not real smart at computers; I'm an intermediate user.  Thank you.

    Shift-click the photos or Ctrl-click them to select them, then right-click one of them and choose Delete from Catalog. They will all go together.

    You're going to need additional software or hardware.  If you're running a Macintosh, try CamTwist.  It's free and allows you to create virtual "cameras" from just about anything you can see on your computer.  It's a bit clunky getting used to the interfact and how it works, however.
    Hardware solutions (like scanline converters and video switchers) can get pretty expensive.  So you may want to go with a piece of software that can handle on-the-fly video compositing/switching.  There are two applications that come to mind right off the bat -- and lucky for you, both of them can also output to a live streaming server. 
    Wirecast is a popular choice, although the pricing starts around $500.  It's Macintosh/Windows.
    A very popular choice among gamers is XSplit (Windows only) and is a subscription-based model (you pay a small fee by the month, quarter, or year).  XSplit has some very impressive compression happening under the hood, and was originally designed for gamers who wanted to share their desktop, XBOX, or PS3 adventures... all while also being able to lay over banners, PIP (picture-in-picture) of themselves, or anythhing else they wanted to clutter the screen with.
    If you're running on Windows, give XSplit at shot.  It can easily handle your desktop (or most anything else) as a "camera" as well as being able to lay your webcam on top of the desktop feed.

  • 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
