How can I listen to music through Apple TV

receiver but still be watching TV?
Whenever I switch over to "Game" which is the HDMI port for the Apple TV - I can no longer see TV - I get the Apple TV screensaver.
Football! Music! What to do?
thx

Have tried to switch off ATV while using airplay from my ipad. I started with the TV on, started streaming from the iPad to the ATV. Worked well. Then I switched off the TV. The music stopped for about 5 seconds, then my Receiver switched something and the music continued. When I switch the TV on again, the music stops again for about 5 seconds, the receiver switches again and the music continues. Guess my receiver is intelligent enough to figure out when the picture signal through HDMI is no more required, to use only the audio signal. I have a high end Sony receiver that is about 4 years old. Everything is connected through HDMI.

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.

How can you listen to music without headphones?

How can you listen to music without headphones?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

How can you listen to music and play a game at the same time?

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.

HT2508 My amp has an USB input but when I attach my mac pro to it, and set the input to the USB setting, no sound comes out. I looked at the system settings, but none of them produce a different outcome. How can I send the music through the USB out to USB

AFAIK cameras offer their own built-in format utility for inserted SD cards. You should use that. Otherwise, refer to the manual that came with your camera to determine precisely how your SD cards need to be formatted to work properly. Personally, I'd suggest Partition Scheme: MBR, and Filesystem: FAT32.
Try to limit the number of formats you perform on the SD cards, though, as you're reducing their lifespan. I believe formatting causes re-writes to a portion of the SD card that has fewer read/write cycles than the rest of the card as a whole.

Using ipad with remote app, I cannot change to watching a movie from listening to music through Apple TV without resetting the procedure. It only changes the song

it might be worth checking your TV settings to see if it has an option for different settings based on whether using the tv speakers or headphones.
Normally you should be able to control the sound via the tv.
Have you tried it without the headphones?

How can I listen to music on PC bought on Lumia 53...

Hello,
I bought today music on my Smartphone on MixRadio. I could download it and everything worked pretty well. Then I had the idea to test it on my PC. When I tried to download the same Music from MixRadio(PC) they tried to charge me again the same ammount of €.
I tought I can listen to Music that I bought on MixRadio everywhere wih my account. Am I wrong?

Thanks for sharing, EloiNightingale. Did you use the same Nokia account on both devices? We understand that you've been billed again for the downloading a song that you already purchased. However, there are scenarios wherein a file has several versions. We recommend checking if the song that you downloaded is the same as the one you purchased using the phone: complete title of the song, version (acoustic version, remix, etc), singer, album and the record label. You can also check your account's purchase history to further isolate this:
1. Go to MixRadio website: www.mixrad.io
2. Click on the gears icon
3. Sign in your Nokia account
4. Click on the option "Nokia account"
5. Click on the "Purchase History"
Purchased music tracks from the MixRadio do not have DRM protection. Saying this, you should be able to share/transfer and play the file on different devices without any restriction. This will not be the case for downloading/re-downloading the songs. Please note that you have 3 redownload credits. Once it is consumed, you may need to purchase the track again. Hope this helps.

How can I listen to music on YouTube and still be on other apps?

I used to be able to listen to music on YouTube but our of know where it just stopped working and will only let me "multitask" if I'm on safari.
Thank you if you have anything that can help.

I suggest downloading the (free) YouTube app from the App Store. Then listen to your music from there. You should be able to multitask then.

connect appletv to itunes as normal.
in itunes change the settings to "custom sync", and then untick everyting for syncing.
this will enable to you stream all your content rather than syncing it.

How can I listen to music from iphone5 on my TV - without an Apple TV?

I am clueless with technology. Is there a specific cable I can buy that will allow me to do this? Having searched the questions it seems the only way is to buy an Apple TV?!
Many thanks!

Thanks muchly wjosten. Going by the write up on that product, I'd need that and a HDMI cable too - would that be a HDMI to HDMI?
Any idea if I'd need extra cables and blah with the Apple TV?
Steep learning curve here

How can I simultaneously play music through Bluetooth and AirPlay to my Bluetooth speaker and Apple TV?

Hello, I have recently purchased a new Bluetooth speaker and I would like to use it with my already working home audio system which I control with the airplay feature on my Apple TV. I tried to use the airplay function on my iPhone 4S and connect the 2 at the same time but It would only let me connect one. If there is an app that will allow me to connect the Bluetooth speaker and the Apple TV simultaneously thought my iPhone 4S or any other solution please feel free to let me know. Thanks...

There is not one and it cannot be done at this time.

How can I listen to Music in iTunes on my iMac on my home stereo? system

I have all my music in iTunes on my iMac which is in my den. I would like to listen to my music wirelessly on my Stereo system in my living room. I could use an iPod but I have a much broader range of music on my iMac. Can someone recommend a possible solution. I have thought about Apple TV, would that work?

If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to iTunes. Hope it helps.

How can I play itunes music through one of the usb ports on my new MacBook Air?

Greetings Everyone.
I just purchased my first Mac product I want to be able to play music from the itunes app from one of my usb ports to the usb port on the front panel of my Yamaha CD changer. I want to utilize the buit-in DAC of the Yamaha. A friend was able to run his Ipad through it but I can't see a way to run my MacBook Air through it. When I go to System Preferences -> Hardware -> Sound the only item listed for Output is "Internal Speakers".
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

How can you listen to music when you don't have an Internet or cellular connection?

Is it possible to access your library and Match?

Yes, just not all of it.
As you play music from the cloud, it gets saved to your device so the next time you play it, you don't need to be connected to the internet. That's why there's a setting to "show all music" - if you turn that off, you'll just see the songs that you have with you already, and can play without internet access.
You can also choose to download songs, albums or entire playlists, and those will be available later when you don't have a connection.
