How to prevent music from playing accidentally

How does one stop the music function on the iphone, as opposed to simply pausing it? Sometimes, I think I have stopped it, then find later that it has been playing without me knowing and wasting battery.

When the iPod is playing in the background, there is a right facing blue arrow or play icon in the iPhone's status bar. Besides selecting pause, with the iPod available you can press and hold the home button for 5 seconds or so until the iPod quits and your iPhone returns to the home screen. I usually check the status bar since the blue play icon will not be in the status bar unless the iPod is playing.

  • How to prevent Firefox from playing any kind of video in the browser instead of promting a download dialog

    When i klick on a link for a video files (for example a .wmv File) it opens a new tab and starts playing it, instead of giving me a dialog what it should do with the File so that i can either download it or play it with an external player. I already set all the video files in the "options -> Applications" screen to "Always ask", but instead of asking me, it's simply playing them.
    What can i do to prevent firefox from playing videos?

    Tahnks, but that doesn't help me at all. As i said, i already changed all to "Always Ask", when i Filter for media i get 5 results where each says "Always Ask", so thats not the cause...

  • Stoping music from playing

    Just got touch yesterday and would like to know how to stop music from playing. I know you have to press the pause/ play button, but is the a true stop that brings you to previous or other list, or even home...Previously had a nano and when you stopped it it went back to playlist or previous page. Can you answer, anyone? Thanks.

    As the others said there is no stop, only pause. However, there is an option to pause that's quicker then the others... Just unplug the headphones. The second the headphones are unplugged the music automatically pauses. I've got a radio transmitter for the car that plugs into the headphones and I love the fact that when I get where I'm going I just pop that out and leave. I don't even have to look at the ipod.

  • How to prevent apps from syncing in the new version of itunes?

    Hey there.
    I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my iphone, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data. The problem is that one of these accounts is an old friend's one and I actually lost all contact with him. So basically now I can't sync my iphone at all or it will delete all my apps.
    Has anyone any idea how to sort that out? Or at least knows how to prevent apps from syncing in this new version of itunes?
    Thanks for your help

    how to send music from a ipodtouch to another with the bluetooth??

    There is no way you can do that. You should either transfer the music to the phone and play it from there, or you should connect the speaker to the computer itself (provided it is Bluetooth speaker).

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

    When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.
