How to lock in a book or song while it's playing to avoid bumping the touchscreen

I have a new iPod Nano and can't figure out how to lock in a song or book while it's playing to avoid having the touch screen bumped and disrupting it.

Why not just press the sleep/wake button?

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. My iBook library does not show up in iTunes.

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out. The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for. Is this a stupid question?

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files)

You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
The song file has been deleted
The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
If you use an external drive, a change in drive letter is a common cause and you need to change it back.
AS a way of working out what has happened, right click on a track and select the summary tab (you will have to go past an error message). The summary tab will tell you where iTunes thinks the track is located. How does that compare with where the track actually is?
The xml library file is not used by iTunes, it is created to allow other programs to access the library. You can recreate the iTl file from the xml file, but there is no point if the location of the files is wrong.
There is a simple way of getting you music back in iTunes, but it loses all playlists counts and rating. To do this drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Library.xml to your desktop. Then open iTunes and an empty library is created. Add you iTunes Media folder to it.
If you can't work out what went wrong and how to fix it, you may have to do this.

Sometimes when I try to choose a song, it won't play, but goes to the "music" icon, and it wiggles.

It sounds like you might actually have 4G iPod Touch or 6G Nano as the 4G Nano does not have icons. Use this article to help you verify what model iPod you own.

Have you tried a hard reset to see if that does any good?

How can I sign up with Enterprise program, while I have an active membership of the iOS developer program?

How can I sign up with Enterprise program, while I have an active membership of the iOS developer program?
I have bought a memership for the iOS Developer program.
I have created an in-house app.
Now I want to publish it to all employees without registering the devices.
So..
I go to their website and try to sign up for the enterprise program, image shown below:

Within the image above, I click continue...
http://s14.postimg.org/46lqcpy74/Clipboard02.jpg
Then I am taken to the image above, there I need to select a program, but I already have a program, the iOS developer program! And the checkbutton of that program, is disabled. If I try to click continue at this page, without sleecting a program, a javascript-box shows "You have to select a program before continuging"...
Do I need to unsubscribe my iOS developer program, to then register it again? Lol!
PS: no clue where I should post this, looked over the forums and could not see anything related to singing up, registering for a program...

Our apps came offline automatically shortly after this as iTunesConnect thought we had not renewed our license, even though we had several weeks ago.
We had a brief panic as our apps were offline for 12 hours, which is how long it took Apple Support to work out what was wrong and hook things up.
I suggest you contact them ASAP to get this fixed so you don't get that iTunesConnect alert to your phone 'Your app status has been changed to Pending Contract'.

I am having difficulty deleting music from my iPad. I tried to delete 2 songs while I was playing those songs. I can't get rid of those songs. What can I do without resetting the iPad?

Last night while I was trying clean out my music library on my iPad, I attempted to delete a song while it was playing. The device allowed me to swipe from right to left, it even gave me the delete key. I hit the delete key, but the song is still there. Now, the ipad doesn't give me the swipe from right to left. The song doesn't appear to be deletable. I really don't want to reset my ipad. Is there anything that I can do to remove the song with out resetting the iPad?

Please pardon the intrusion…

How can I remotely control what iTunes song my iMac is playing to multiple AppleTV's?

So I own an iMac that has homesharing enabled. I then tell the iMac to play to both of my AppleTV's by holding OPTION key down while clicking on Airplay, and checking off the devices that I want it to stream to filling my home with sound that is in sync in every room. Works beautifully. Only problem is that I can not then control the iMac remotely from let's say the bedroom to pick a new artist. The ATV's become dumb clients simply playing what the iMac is pumping to them. Is there a remote interface that allows me to control iTunes on the iMac to choose the sounds being broadcast to the other Apple devices?
NO. VNC is a ghetto work around to accomplish this. Yes, I could do that, but it is inefficient, and inelegant. I am looking for a remote control app with the functionality that allows me to connect to and see the device that I want to control, and then by choosing my iMac, see all artists/albums/songs, play them and let the iMac pump the tunes to the devices that I told iTunes to Airplay to.
Ideally, the AppleTV's should know that they are acting as clients to the iMac serving centrally, but when I pick up an AppleTV remote, it overrides the stream from the iMac, and then the ATV begins streaming independently from the other. I KNOW there is a solution to this...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Adam

ok... solved it. By using the Apple Remote app, you can tell the app to control your iMac (I did not know that) and that solved the issue. Now the iMac plays the song I want to all of the devices that I told the iMac to play to. Perfect.

Itunes unexpectedly quits when i rate songs while they are playing.

Itunes unexpectedly quits whenever i am listening to a song and then i rate it, i havent tried everything, but it also quits when i tried to edit the artist of a song while playing it. also, everytime i open itunes it goes to a certain playlist. how can i make it stop doing that, or change it to automatically open with the playlist of my choice?
thanks in advanced

I tried deleting them and redownloading them but its not working.
Try deleting and redownloading again, this time with simultaneous downloads disabled.
While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked.

How to lock on a book when listening? Old Nano had a button for that.

My new Nano sometimes skips when I am listening to an audiobook, but I cannot find any way to lock it on to prevent that.

It probably can't be turned on at all. I suspect that your liquid damage has finally died a corrosion death on your logic board.
All you can do at this point is take the machine into your local Apple Store/AASP and have them diagnosis the problems and give you an estimate for repair.

How do I transfer a music file (song) from iTunes list to my iPOD? The Apple help files do not make any sense in this regard.

How do I transfer a song from itunes to my ipod (they are connected). The Apple help files are truly pathetic in this fundamental function.
For example they say click on the "summary" button ... I find no summary button anywhere on my screen. How's that for a confidence builder?

This talks about iTunes 10, but it should work the same way in iTunes 11. Transferring purchases for an iDevice to your Mac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2554
It should be File>Devices>Transfer Purchases, I think
You must be using the same Apple ID in iTunes on your Mac that your son is using on the Mini or the movie will not transfer.

How do I stop ITunes from loading songs into library when played from an external hard drive

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

How can I set a custom Home Page while ALSO having a New Tab be the default Mozilla Page?

Why is the "home Page" = to a New Tab page? Why are they linked. I want my.yahoo.com to be my Home Page (currently set properly) but my New Tab page seems to be set to "Conduit" and has a search bar. I have no idea where that came from or how it got set that way. I want to have my current Home Page but make any New Tabs be the Mozilla Default Page with a Google search bar. Is that possible? I am running on Windows XP.

How to make image stay still in background while content object scrolls over and change the background image?

I'm fairly new to muse, so i bet it is a simple explanation to this. And don't know how to explain it in a good way. But i want the same effect as on this site http://themeforest.net/item/astlavista-multipurpose-muse-template/full_screen_preview/6459 513?ref=designrazzi . The photos stand still and changes while the blue/green content box slides over. Help anyone?

I know how I scale the image to fill the browser. The effect I'm looking for is the transition from one image to another, as in http://themeforest.net/item/astlavista-multipurpose-muse-template/full_screen_preview/6459 513?ref=designrazzi. When the green/blue box with "services" scrolls over the screen, the image change from the one with the plane, to the one with the bike.

TS1424 I downloaded a song and it only plays 16 seconds of the 3:29 minutes!

what gives? I downloaded MAXWELL'S SILVER HAMMER by THE BEATLES and it only plays the first 16 seconds and then skips to the next song!

Try deleting the song from iTunes (allow iTunes to move the track file to the trash) and then re-downloading it via this procedure:

If the track still doesn't work, notify the iTunes Store about the problem:

Embedding artwork to songs, while they're playing, corrupt the files?

While manually adding & removing artwotk have had strange experiences.
Most notably the added artwork shows up pixelated & corrupt looking,
for lack of a better term. Then the files lost all metadata but the songs titles.
I know it sounds like bad files, but these were newly downloaded from iTunes....
Ideas?
Thanks

I often want to remove files from my iTunes library, but keep them on my harddrive. That's why iTunes asks you if you want to delete it. Holding control down when you hit delete will at least get rid of the first dialogue box.
If you are trying to delete a song that is playing, it won't delete it because it is in use.
I assume the same is happening on your machine with podcasts. Your system thinks the files is still in use, so can not delete it.
