I would like to play my pandora while texting?

can anyone help me with that, how can i play my pandora radio or xm radio or aol radio while textin (sms) what do i need to do fix this thanks

Yeah and there's lots of people who disagree with this exactly because they want to run Pandora (or Skype) in the background. Do a search for "iphone and background apps" and see everyone get in a tiss. Ultimately the iPhone could do this but Apple chooses not to allow it, except for it's own apps (like iTunes).
However, I guess because I'm not a Pandora user, I actually pretty OK with this restriction. There are valid reasons why not to allow this, including:
1) Battery life if an app you didn't realise is running in the background.
2) Net usage charges if you had an app running in the background using up all your included download limits.
3) Potential that phone will slow down if it runs out of memory/processor time.
4) Makes the phone more complicated - do you really want to have to run a task manager type application so you can kill rouge processes?
But, saying that I can see why some people would want it and it is frequently given as a reason why an iPhone is not as good as other smartphones (though my my above rational I don't think that argument is as clear cut as people make out).

  • I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?that will play audio please

    I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?

    The genuine Apple adapter works for me, most cheap knockoffs do not support sound ,it is usually in the micro print at bottom of the ebay offerring
    It is pricey by comparison but it works and the knock offs usually don't pay the patent  licence fee hence they guess the technology that is in the lightning plug
    and charge a minimal price

  • I have a USA DVD which I would like to play on my macbook pro. How can I do this without having to use up options to convert between regions which are limited

    I have a USA DVD which I would like to play on my macbook pro without using up the options to switch regions. Is there a way to do this?
    Also can it be done through a DVD player attachment to an Ipad?

    program called MDRP to rip it......  then use Wondershare to convert it, also Iskysoft video converter is an option.
    You dont have to put it ON the Ipad, once on the Mac, you can Stream it wifi to the Ipad using the $2 program called VLC STREAMER (not VLC, but streamer made by VLC),.... best APP for your Ipad to stream videos from your MAC to your Ipad.

    iTunes is part of OS X, which implies that iTunes was deleted, or that your OS X installation is corrupt.  In either case, the easiest approach usually involves downloading the combo update for OS X — the so-called combo update, and not the delta update — and installing that.
    Applying or re-applying the OS X combo update won't alter your user files, but will reload all recent OS X changes, and should also cause iTunes to be re-loaded.
    If you are running Mavericks 10.9, then download and install the OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 combo update. 
    You'll want to have a backup of your system — updates don't fail often, but they can fail.  If you don't have Time Machine or some other form of backups running, get that going first; before further changes here.

    Hi, I am able to use Remote app on ipad to stream songs on pc ( iTunes library using home sharing ) to Apple TV. I would like to stream to bluetooth device. Is that possible?

    My only guess at the error message is the very odd 13 frames per second recording. I don't know what to suggest.

  • I would like to print links as regular text i.e. not underlined or in a different font and color.

    I have created a page with my resumé, using Dreamweaver CS4 on my iMac (running OS X 10.6.6).  You can see the page here: http://www.peterforkes.com/Resume.html
    It looks great when it is on the screen, but when I print it I would like the links to not be underlined and also to be displayed in the same font (and color) of the text surrounding it (a link is largely useless on a piece of paper, if it it not showing the URL).
    So, I created a stylesheet called "print.css" and have this in it:
    a:link {
    text-decoration: none;
    In my html document (Resume.html)  I have this code, at the top:
    <link href="_css/Resume.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" />
    <link href="_css/Print.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" />
    Now, things such as the graphics in my document do not print out (this is how I want it) but links seesm to be doing unexpected things for me.  As I mentioned, when I print the page I would like them to:
    a) not print with an underline (which I would expect the code snippet shown above to do).
    b) I would like the link color to be the same as the surrounding text (I have links in several places, such as in <h2>, <h3> and <p>).
    c) I would like the link to have the same font and text size as the surrounding text.
    Any help is always appreciated.
    Peter A. Forkes

    You've solved it for a:link but you may print the page with the <a> tag in link or visited state so you need to cover both.
    In http://www.peterforkes.com/_css/Print.css
    change
    a:link {
    text-decoration: none;
    to
    a:link, a:visited {
    color: #333;
    text-decoration: none;

  • I would like a medium gray background while typing.

    I'm assuming that I'm not the only one where writing black on a white background is light trying to type with someone shining a flashlight into my eyes. I would much prefer to be able to set the ground to a (user adjustable for color and brightness/darkness) medium gray that would be easier on my eyes.
    I've found that I can change the paragraph background to a medium gray for when I am typing and then just before printing I can select all and turn it off.
    That is a pain for a few reasons.
    1) I have to manually do this each time.
    2) I keep forgetting to highlight all the text, change the paragraph background back to white, print, then change it all back to medium gray.
    3) When doing this I also need to create enough blank lines below where I am typing so that I don't see the "white" part of the page while I'm typing. Now I can't just jump down to the bottom of the page to continue if I need to go back up and look up something or change something.

    I have already sent this in as feedback. But if anyone has an easier way to do this now I would appreciate it.
    WordPerfect is the only thing I miss from when I used to use Windows and DOS before it. If I only had the attention span and time I would make a WP clone for Mac. I don't, so I'm stuck with what I can buy or download.
    There are other word processors out there, some of them have what I'm asking for. But they are ugly to look at and are very poor at working with both text and graphics in a publishing kind of way. I'm not heavily into publishing but have to do some brochures which Pages is really good at which is why I'm using Pages.

  • HT4914 Do I need my Mac do use what's all ready in The cloud my old acct,(have Mac in for service,and would like to play my music that s sill in my acct) with out Mac in service now.?

    Bottom line I'll be without my Mac for at least 2 to 4 weeks it's interservice I like to use iTunes Match on iPad,iPhone, AppleTV is there a work a Round anyone knows about?

    iPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
    You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.
    How to, and some comments on why you shouldn't, are in this thread
