Listening to music and taking calls?

When listening to music on my iPhone 5 with the ear pods, I don't get notified of incoming calls. I only get an alert that a voicemail has been left. What can I do to get incoming calls?

The music will be interrupted by the ring. There is no way you could not know the call is coming in unless the call never actually rang on your phone.
Test it by having someone call you both with and without the headphones plugged in. If the phone doesn't ring, but you know you are in the coverage area for you carrier and the phone indicates you have coverage, contact your carrier.

  • How can you listen to music and play a game at the same time?

    How can you listen to music and play a game at the same time?
    I am playing music, by starting the Crash Baandicoot Nitro Kart 3D game it shuts off the music playing. Is there a way around this?
    It seems like this should be possible.

    Select the music play list you want to listen to and start it playing. Go back to the home screen and start the app you want to use, music will stop. Press the home button two time quickly and it will bring up a simple control for controling the music. This works for me with all of the apps I have purchased including games. Just a note you can pull up the same music control if the iPod is a sleep and locked by pressing the button three times quickly.

  • Can I listen to  music and play a game at same time?

    I would like to listen to music and play a game at the same time. For example can I listen to Pandora and play a card game? How? When I try to go from 1 app to another one closes.

    you can listen to music thats in the iPod part of the phone and play a game, but you can't listen to music from apps like Pandora and use another app to play a game

  • I'm a drummer, when I got the 4s and tried to listen to music and drum to it the music would keep cutting out. It also happens when a door is slammed when I'm in the car.

    I'm a drummer, when I got the 4s and tried to listen to music and drum to it the music would cut out frequently, it also happens when a door is slammed when I'm in the car. I didn't have this issue with my previous apple products and it doesn't seem to happen to others with the 4s. Is there a known way to stop this?

    I suggest trying the update again after an hour or two.  Sometimes, the notice that an update is available comes an hour or two before the developers actually sends the revised app out to be downloaded.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar          
    If within warranty (yours is since the warranty is one year) and not abused, Apple will exchange it at no cost.

  • Why can't I listen to music and read the ny times simultaneously?

    Why can't I listen to music and read simultaneously?

    hmm, well have you ever tried to run the music app in the bakground before? Double click the home button and bring up the music app. Select you music and you should hear it when you switch back to your NY times.app.
    You can do this. HOWEVER, never used the NY times app before. ****IF the NY times has streaming media capability, this would be why you can't listen to music simultaneously while reading.
    Not all news readers have the ability to allow music in the background.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why if i want to listen to music and i'am not using headphones i don't hear the music coming from the mac

    why if i want to listen to music and i'am not using headphones i don't hear the music coming from the mac?

    that means that your mac still thinks the headphones are plugged in.  Try inserting and unplugging the headphones from the jack several times and see if it sets the toggle switch back.  If not, try sticking a toothpick or something sturdy and narrow in and see if you can manually flip the toggle switch.  That method is a last resort, you do not want to break anything off inside the headphone jack.

  • Plugged my headset for the first time into my iphone4 to listen to music and the sound came out thru the phone and not the headset, anyone else have this challenge? Help

    Plugged my headset for the first time into my iphone4 to listen to music and the sound came out of the phone and not out of the headset.  Anyone else experience this problem?  is there a way around it?

    Sorry saker, but if you have not backed up your data anywhere, and you told the computer, in essence to clear the data and restore it with your iPod data, then you are pretty much out of luck....

  • Updated to 4.4 and now my Bluetooth 'studders' when listening to music and a phone call. Yes I have reset the phone and removed the battery.

    I just updated my Note 3 to 4.4.2. Since then when I listen to music or make a call on my Bluetooth my music and calls 'studders' and has some type of 'drop-outs' during the music and calls. This was not the case prior to the update.
    Yes, I have power down the phone. Yes, I have removed the battery and restarted the phone. My Bluetooth headset is an LG 730. I tried listening to music on my other Bluetooth devices and they also 'studders' and has drop-outs during calls and music. I connected with a wired headset and the 'studdering' disappeared.
    Is there a way to revert back to the previous 4.3 version of Android. I use my phone extensively for business and drive with it. The law for my state requires 'hands free' usage of my phone.

    Unfortunately, I was forced to do a factory Reset. This wiped the device to a new state.
    Afterwards all Blue-tooth, wi-fi and calls operated fine.
    I would advise that you notify your customers that they would most likely have to do a Factory Reset once they update their device.
    All contacts, pictures, data and applications were either lost or had to be reinstalled.

  • Listening to music and answer phone calls

    When i listen to music in the car connected by earphone output, when the phone rings, and i unplug the wire the phone call ends

    if you leave the wire plugged in, you will be able to speak into the iPhone microphone on the bottom, and the phone audio will be continued through your car speakers. (this is what i am assuming will happen as i have listened to my iPhone through regular headphones, and when someone called me, they heard me through the iPhone mic since the headphones did not have a mic.)

  • I want to listen to music with no call interruptions - how?

    how can i change the settings, so that when i listen to my music, if someone calls, the music track doesn't pause? i don't want even a silent alarm and, preferably, for the name to not appear on screen - just want to listen to my music, close my eyes, and have no interruptions. can this be done?

  • Problems with Front Row, listening to Music and view Photos

    My new imac is experiencing problems while in frontrow. If I am listening to music through itunes and then go to view photos at the same time the computer freezes for minutes on end before coming up with an error message about not being able to access the photos. When I finally manage to get out of front row, iphoto is opened up on my desktop. Is anyone else having problems like this?

    Yeah, I think, unfortunately thats the best solution to this. Disappointing though, this is the 2nd imac that I've had major issues with straight out of the box.
