I can't play my music any more when my phone is off? I use to just double click the home button and it would play music. Now it doesn't. Why?

I can't play music on my iPhone 4 anymore when my phone is off. I use to double click the home button and I could play music with out having to enter my pass code every time. Now it doesn't work that way any more. Can any one tell me how to fix it?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting your device, but it can cure some glitches.

Why can't I sleep my Ipod by double clicking the home button?

My sleep/wake button doesn;t work anymore, and I want to be able to sleep my Ipod by double clicking the home button. That would be much more useful than the 3 stupid choices I have now: "Home, Search, and iPod."
The home button already takes you home. So choice 1 is stupid. To search all you have to do is press home and swipe to the right; so choice 2 is also stupid. Choice 3 is ******** because I can just click "music."
Why can't double clicking home do something useful? Like making up for a poorly designed, chinese-made button that only lasts until just after your warrenty expires?

"Why can't double clicking home do something useful?"
"Useful" s subjective. The options are helpful to many.
" Like making up for a poorly designed, chinese-made button that only lasts until just after your warrenty expires?"
My button has lasted for three years. I know no one personally who has a broken powerbutton.
Perhaps it is simply that your ipod has an issue. Maybe you are blowing this out of all proportion.

Have you guys been able to activate your iphone yet? I bought an iphone 4s from eBay and it worked fine, but the previous user had left some data on it, so last night I used the "erased all content and settings" to restore it to factory setting so I can start fresh and restore my backup. But now I'm stuck at the activation screen (I get the same "the activation server is temporarily unavailable") and can't get it to activate, even if I use my old deactivated AT&T sim card (I'm on straighttalk now).
I might try activating it with an active AT&T sim card from my fiancee's phone when she gets home, so I'll let you know how that works outs.
If it's true that the server is down; anyone know when it will be back up again? Thanks in advance.

How does this happen: The picture of recent apps you get when double clicking the home button showed in Settings-Wifi that I had been connected to a network I have not been near for two months. Its not a recent "image" of Settings-Wifi. Can anyone explain

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Swipe up vs double clicking the home button. Can't grab the swipe handle!

The teachers at our school uses the Air Server software to project their iPads to their whiteboard for their students. We've always been able to double click the home button to get to the Air Play controls to turn it on but with the new update we can no longer double click, we have to swipe up. The problem is, we have all of our iPads in "kid proof" otterbox type cases and it is next to impossible to grab whatever it is that allows you to swipe up and get to those functions. Please tell me there is another option out there or please give us back the double click option.

Thanks and we actually have the Gumdrop cases here at school. Maybe they are different, idk, but it has caused a good bit of frustration. Is there a trick to it?

Close inactive apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

what exactly are you trying to accomplish here? i understand that you don't want to see the music status come up on your lock screen, but what are you trying to do by clicking your home button at all?

After the latest update to FF13, I double click the bookmark button and the window won't open so I can edit.

When I double click the bookmark button (star) a window always drops down so I can edit the bookmark or place it into the folder I want. Now after the latest update to FF13 (june 2012) I can click once and the page is bookmarked to the "unsorted" folder, but when I double click nothing happens. 1) I restarted FF, didn't help 2) I rebooted computer, didn't help.

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction. I had 5 extensions installed. I disabled all of them then restarted FF. My bookmark window started working again. Then I enabled each extension one at a time to find the culprit. It was "Compact Menu 2 version 4.3.1". It's a handy extension for me, but I can live without it till they have a version that will work for me. Thanks again.

HT4623 After my last and latest update on I phone 5, I can no longer delete app running in background by double clicking the home button. When I do double click the home button to swipe off the apps running....nothing at all happens, hence the apps must

After my last and latest upgrade to Iphone 5, i can no longer delete open app by tapping the home button twice, and then swiping off the screen. In effect these apps are open and using data. This has only just occured since the upgrade to ios 7.1.1 After many attempts to press home button twice....nothing happens, and so app are open. Please advise? any answers?

Hey there 111brownyn
Go to Settings>General>Accessability>Assistive touch(in the bottom)
and switch the toggle on. You'll find now a smaal square around your screen.
Touch it aand perform the double click gesture with the virtual home button on the screen.
I think your Home button has been damaged.
Do let me know if it worked

HT5509 In an app that was frozen, I triple-clicked the home button and activated "guided access". I never set a passcode but can't exit GA without one. Is there a default passcode when one is not set by user? ipad2 ios 6.something

We have an iPad 2 running ios 6.something - I can't check that right now because we can't seem to exit "guided access". I was playing Clumsy Ninja when it froze. I didn't know about forcing closed or removing an app from the recent bar yet at the time, so I was looking through settings for some kind of intuitively obvious admin tool for shutting down a jammed app - to no avail. Then I reopened the game and tried different things: holding the home button down, pressing the home button multiple times. When I did that, "guided access" launched. It informed me that it had deactivated the buttons, and asked me if I wanted to shut down parts of screen. No solution in that, so I attempted to exit GA at which point ipad requested a passcode - I never set a general passcode or a GA passcode, so I have no idea what to put in. I have tried rebooting by means of Home and Power buttons - it reopens Clumsy Ninja with GA active.
Is there a default "Guided Access" passcode that would be in place since I haven't set one?

Nope . I was the only one using it and I did not set a passcode . That would have been a red flag for me . We don't have it configured to require a passcode for logon and I would not have created one intentionally .
Thanks for responding Diavonex .

When I am listening to music on my iPod Touch 5th gen and it is locked I try to double click the home button to bring up the music controls, but it does not work. How can I fix this?

So, I locked my iPod while listening to music, then pressed to home button to turn it back on, then I pressed it again twice to bring up the music controls so I could pause the song. The music controls came up, but they didn't control the song I was listening to, also the album artwork wasn't showing. How can I fix this?

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10sec. or until Apple logo appears (Nothing will be lost, this is just a "Hard Reset")
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!
