IPhone: Recommendation to Apple for a quick pause function for iPod

First of all, we love our new iPhone, as it has been a lifesaver and helps us efficiently use our time. However, there is one issue that I hope would get resolved: if I listen to music on the phone's iPod function while performing other tasks (type an email, browse the web, etc.), if someone interrupts me and I need to quickly pause the music, I have to 1) hit the home button, 2) hit the iPod button and then 3) hit the pause button on the currently playing song.
Instead of having to perform three steps, I recommend that Apple updates the software to have a "quick pause" button that would be placed at the top of the iPhone screen in the same way that one would see the green bar at the top of the screen while on a telephone call and performing other iPhone tasks. This would give users one quick and easy way to pause the music that is playing on the iPod!

I like your idea for using the top button as a pause button.
Why don't you go ahead and submit it to the iPhone feedback page:

  • Sent iPhone 3g into apple for repair

    I sent my iphone 3g into apple for the display separating from the bezel and I just had some questions. This is what the status looks like:
    Step 1 - Request
    Product received (19-May-2010)
    Step 2 - Service
    Issue identified (20-May-2010)
    Step 3 - Return
    Product replacement pending (20-May-2010)
    My question is how long does it take for the product replacement pending take? And does that mean I am getting a new refurbished iphone? I called applecare to ask but the guy said nothing for half the time and said um a lot. So apparently he was kind of clueless if you ask me, so I was hoping someone here had some past experience that could help me out.
    Thank You

    Product replacement pending indicates your iPhone will be exchanged under warranty. An exchange under warranty can be a new or refurbished iPhone with no way to tell the difference. More than likely your exchange will ship sometime tomorrow.

  • How can i purchase iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch 2G ?

    My Local iTune Store (Thailand) don't have iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch.
    How can i purchase iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch 2G ?

    What they have written to you is wrong.
    That download was available at all the online stores: if you looked at the main page of the Thai app store at the time it was released (and for a couple of weeks after) it clearly displayed a 3.0 update advertisement. I was able to update a 3G iPhone and a first generation iPod touch using my account on the Thai app store.
    Are you accessing the iTunes store, using iTunes (or the Thai online store at http://store.apple.com/th)? It is the one using iTunes that you need.
    What you need to do to download this, is to connect your iPod touch to the computer (your details do not say which computer or OS you use) and in the iTunes panel that opens, there is a button to check for updates (although the update may appear by itself). If this still reports that it is unavilable, let me know and I will ask someone.
    You will not be able to change your account, but there is nothing to prevent you setting up a new account in the US as long as (for purchasing) you use a US credit card.

  • Recommendation to Apple for Recent Calls

    Am I missing something or did the RECENTS not cover all of the calls the phone makes? It has a tab for All and Missed. I recommend that Apple make the tabs at the top not only note "all" and "missed" but add calls "incoming" and calls "outgoing." This way I can quickly look at all my incoming and outgoing calls separately. Because I have so many l am not sure if the numbers on my phone were received or calls made because they are all together. Am I not doing something right.

    I hope that someone is still around..., my 2g iphone stopped registering my recent calls.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Any idea of how to fix it?
    thanks

  • Where to send a recommendation to Apple for a change?

    I've seen a link here somewhere that you can send a recommendation or "suggestion" for a change to Apple. Anyone know that link?
    The blank areas above and below a TV show in 'wide screen' are WHITE which is very distracting! They were black in the 5th gen iPod video which is much more watchable!
    Thanks,

  • Updating iPod touch to iPhone 3.0 Software for iPod touch, getting error 14

    I recently tried to update my 2g iPod touch to the 3.0 software. During the installation, I got an error message saying that an "unknown error 14" has occurred. This happened during the restoration process, and then my iPod just gave me the screen with the USB cable and the iTunes logo. iTunes then told me to restore the ipod, and during that restoration process, I got the same error. I also tried doing the restore manually by finding the iPod software on my hard drive, and then option-clicking on the restore button the find the software and then install. If anyone has any fixes or suggestions for this problem, they would be greatly appreciated.

    Ok. I have spent the last 8 hours researching this problem and have the absolute 110% answer to everyone's problem with this issue.
    Error 13 and 14 : Are checksum problems with the firmware image that is in the update package.
    The update package is a .ipsw (IPod or IPhone SoftWare). This file is actually just a .zip renamed .ipsw.
    The error is caused by a failure to download a crc-free version of the file. Not really sure why there are so many crc problems with the iphone updates, but Apple does not check the integrity of the update package before wiping your current version of IPhone software and that is why all IPhones that start an update with a bad update package end up in recovery mode. These errors are NOT related to the iTunes installation, antivirus software, or firewalls.
    Recommendation : use a program like "Object Fix" (Freeware) to verify the integrity of the file prior to commencing with any new updates. You will have to keep trying to download it until you get a error free file. Once you have a CRC error free file this problem will go away. (I thought TCP/IP helped get rid of CRC errors.)
    I had another problem and that was...
    Error 1603 and 1604 : These are USB driver connectivity problems.
    Recommendation : FULLY uninstall and re-install itunes software as stated in the Apple support documentation. Be sure to reboot between each step and these problems should clear themselves up. In addition, firewalls and anti-virus software may cause these errors as well.
    Finally, shame on apple for not properly documenting their software so that end users do not have to decrypt their error messages with no true support to solve the issues. These are problems that enough people have had that there should be specific documentation on these problems.

  • IPhone 2.0 update for iPod Touch bought within 6 weeks of July 11 release

    I bought a PowerBook within 6 weeks of the new OSX release and I got a free upgrade rebate for the new version a couple of years back, Apple had the same policy last time iPod Touch firmware got updated to 1.1.4 ...
    I bought a new iPod Touch on the 17th of June this year, within 6 weeks of the new 2.0 firmware July 11 release, I wonder if Apple has any policy for such upgrade this time? Thank you for any advices ...

    I just went down with my brother today to purchase an iPod touch. We brought it home, expecting that either version 2.0 of the software would be on it or it would be a free download since it has been 3 weeks since the software was released, but no dice. They want him to fork over 10 bucks for the upgrade even though all new iPod touches should be shipping with the updated software. In my opinion Apple is really doing themselves a disservice by doing this. With every other apple device I have ever purchased the latest software has been included with the hardware. I guess they really must want that ten bucks.

  • Iphone has blocked iTunes for iPod Touch!

    After my iphone 4 was connected to my laptop, Itunes no longer recognizes/connects with my ipod touch. Nothing happens when Ipod is plugged in! Why?

  • IPhone 2.0 firmware for iPod Touch with Software Upgrade

    Okay, don't get me wrong... I don't think Apple should always give everything away for free. But since I already spent my precious $20 back in January for the Software Upgrade, I should DEFINITELY get the $10 2.0 FW update for free since it INCLUDES the software I already purchased! Apple... ya listening??!!??

    i COMPLETELY agree with you. i mean the math alone reveals the nonsense. i will be spending approx. $30 for the two upgrades, while plenty of people will be getting the EXACT same package for only $10! it's almost like we're being punished for purchasing early. what gives?

  • Upgrading to iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod touch

    Hi,
    I've read some of the forums about the Wi-Fi problems on iPod touches after upgrading to OS 3.0. I haven't upgraded my iPod touch (2g) yet, but I'm planning to. What is the likelihood that my Wi-Fi will fail? How would I be able to fix the problem?

    How would that be explained?
    The entire upgrading process AFTER downloading the 3.0 update took me over one hour! The 'installing and verifying step' took quite a while as did the 'backing up your touch' step. You need to have patience for things to work correctly!!!!
    Even with error checking on the download it's possible to get a 'bad' downloaded file. Even with a good downloaded file, there are certainly a number of things you can do during the 'installing and verifying step' to screw things up - like disconnecting your touch or crashing a program running in the background.
    My advice is to have nothing else but iTunes (and the installer) running on your computer during the updating process and DON'T panic if it seems to take a long time!!!! Don't foolishly assume the long process means your computer has 'frozen'.

  • Apple Id for Mutiple devices (IPhone / IPAD and Apple note book)

    is it preferable to ahve the same apple ID and email address for both my divices  (IPhone and my Apple book computer ?) or it is recommended to have a seperate one for each device ?

    Yes it is preferable to use only one Apple ID for al Apple devices you own. In fact I think it is mandatory. Otherwise you can't sync all devices with iCloud and sign into the respective App stores at the same time.
    Having more than one Apple ID becomes extremely confusing for you and Apple.

  • What is my best option for synchronizing tasks (to-dos)/calendars on my iPhone with an Apple Mac?

    I currently have an iPhone 3GS (will upgrade to 5 when available) and Windows XP PC (soon to be retired!) and happily sync my to-do's/calendar between Appigo To-do/iphone Calendar on my iPhone and MS Outlook 2007 on my PC.
    Looking ahead I want to buy a Mac of some kind but before I do so, I'd like to try and find answers to the following questions.
    1.) What are my options for synchronizing tasks / calendar on my iPhone with an Apple Mac?
    2.) Which is recommended as the best?
    3.) Which options should I avoid?
    Thanks in advance!
    Mark

    You have 2 options:
    1)  Ensure in all cases "store email on the server" is set.  I suspect on one device it's not set.
    2) (preferred IMO) On all devices, set option to bcc: yourself to true.  This way you always get all the emails and can file them via IMAP, and they'll be everywhere (with mail headers which preserves sent date.  "sent messages" often DOES NOT preserve the sent date)
