How do I listen to music with a darkened screen?

I'm sure I'm missing something elementary.
My Touch works fine, except the monitor remains on at all times. Even with longer playlists, the monitor remains bright. This can't be good for power usage.
How do I get my Touch to darken shortly after a playlist has begun, as with my old 3g?

If you have auto-lock on, the screen will dim about 30 seconds before your auto-lock kicks in. And once auto-lock is on, the iPod will be "asleep" (with the screen dark) but your music will still play. You can wait for auto-lock to happen (adjust settings under Settings > General > Auto-Lock - the default is 1 minute, I think), or you can manually put the iPod to sleep by pressing the sleep/wake button on the top of the iPod, once. Your music will continue to play, even though the iPod is asleep.

  • How to listen to music with bluetooth

    Can you listen to music (mono of course) with your iphone 4?

    There is a workaround to listen to music with your mono (non A2DP) bluetooth headset, though I only use it for audio books because of the poorer sound quality.
    The trick is to play the mp3 in Voice Memo app instead of iPod app. You can easily convert any of your music files in the iTunes Library to Voice Memo in the following way:
    1 - Check the category of your existing Voice Memos in iTunes. You will have to copy this categories
         1.1 - On your iPhone, save a voice memo
         1.2 - Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC, and launch iTunes
         1.3 - Open your iPhone in iTunes, and check the Music tab. Make sure Voice Memos are set to sync
         1.4 - Sync your voice memo to your computer
         1.5 - In iTunes library, find your voice memo, and from the context menu, choose the Get Info
         1.6 - Copy fields Artist, Album and Genre from Info tab
    2 - Convert the selected music file in the iTunes Library to Voice Memo
         2.1 - From the context menu of the selected music file, select Create AAC version
         2.2 - Using the Get info contect menu of the converted file, apply the Artist, Album and Genre settings you copied previously
    3 - Sync your device to have your munsic file available as Voice Memo
         3.1 - Note your voice memo got an automatic name (derived from the date of creation)
         3.2 - In Voice Memo app, you can select which speaker you want to use for playing
    Another advantage of this solution that audio books will not appear in your music library, you can handle them separated

  • 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.

  • How do I listen to music or radio while reading mail, etc?

    How do I listen to music or radio while reading mail,etc.?

    If you are using the Music App, or say, Pandora, all you do start a song or album and while you are listening, hit your home button once to go to your home page.  The music will cointinue playing and then you touch your mail icon and read mail.  The music will continue playing while you're reading mail.  Just remember to close the Music when you're finished.  To do so, double tap yourhome button and you'll the most recently used apps (task bar) on the bottom.  With your finger, hold it on any app until they all start to jiggle.  You'll see on the upper left side.  Touch the minus and the app will fully close.

    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 do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows?  I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

    How do I manually transfer music with the new itunes update for Windows?  I don't want to sync my library and lose all of my music for what I have in my current library.

    The same way it was done in every previous version.
    Connect the device to the computer.
    Right click on the device in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
    Why would you lose any content by syncing with iTunes?
    Is this not the computer that the device is normally synced with?

    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.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

    I can not see my screen, but I can listen to notifications, listen to music with headphones, and my button locked not responds

    I believe the keys on an imac are F11 and F12, for dark / bright respectively.
    Try that, I think it'll work.
    If not, then try out all the "F" keys, one of them will work.

    Try compressed air. Try tweezers and a magnifying glass with good light.
    The next step would be to Google an iPhone repair service in your area or use this as a good reason to upgrade.

  • Listening to music with Jawbone 2

    Does anyone know if this is ever going to work? I've seen the posts to switch over to bluetooth from visual voicemail to get it to work but that hasn't solved it for me. I don't listen to my music a whole lot so it hasn't been a problem for me but I'm thinking of joining the gym so I want to be able to listen to books but not bring wired headset with me.

    No one here knows if Apple plans on adding an AD2P bluetooth profile for listening to music with a bluetooth headset and if in the works, when.
