Listening to music while charging

I tried to search and couldn't find much info on this. Is it possible to charge the 4th gen nano and listen to music at the same time? if so do i need to change settings or ? thanks for any help

Hello meeks65,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Yes, it is possible, and there really isn't any changes to make in regards to settings. However, you may have to [Safely Disconnnect|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1853] the iPod, to remove the "Do not Disconnect" screen, and then leave it plugged in. You should see the charging symbol at the top of the iPod's screen.
Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I listen to music while charging my iPhone 4S?  As soon as i plug in the phone goes mute

    Why can't I listen to my music while charging my iPhone 4S?  As soon as I plug in my phone goes mute!

    reset the device (home and sleep/wake button for 5-10sec)
    make sure mute isnt turned on or the ringer/silent switch
    -double tap home and swipe the bottom window to the left and make sure the mute button hasnt been toggled (if its set up there, might be screen lock depending on settings)
    reset all settings (settings >general >reset)
    if all else fails try a backup/restore

  • Safe to listen to music while charging Ipod mini?

    Hello all,
    I been trying to find information (google and this forum) about this but had no luck.
    I was wondering if it's safe to listen to music while you are charging the Ipod?
    The equipment that I have is a 2nd Gen Ipod mini. I also use the USB Power adapter (good thing to have).
    Best regards!

    Hi Vamp2390,
    Thanks for you reply. I have been reading a lot that you can do to save the IPod's battery life and how to take care of it but I could not find anything related to use it while it's been charged.
    It also looks like there are accessories, like speakers and car lighter adapters that allows you to use your IPod while is being charged.
    In the mean time, I'll use my trusty AC Adapter and use my IPod while is charging.
    Regards!

  • Listening music while charging zen mi

    can i listen music while charging it's?

    One note on the USB. If you are using Windows XP like me, you'll (until you choose otherwise, which you may have already done) be constantly asked what you want to do when you plug in the device (WMP0, Napster, etc, or do nothing). I have chosen to always "do nothing." Doing this will allow you to plug in the player, Windows really "does nothing," and the player will show that it's being charged (just as the AC adapter would be doing). You can then be playing while charging, attached to the USB. As soon as you launch WMP0 or Napster, however, the player goes into docked mode until you leave the application.

  • Can i listen music while charging ?

    Hi,
    can i listen music on ipod while charging my 5gn. 30gb ipod.
    and everytime i connect ipod to computer for transfering songs or to use as hd. it starts charging even if not required.
    how can i stop this charging ? is it possible ?
    ny help is appreciated.
    thanks

    Yes. Connect the ipod to your computer, and once it's recognized by iTunes, safely disconnect it (eject the iPod as normal). Leave it connected via the cable and the iPod will receive a charge whilst you use it.
    The transfer of songs is a huge drain on the iPods battery, therefor it is essential to have power supplied to it or else the transfer may fail.
    So, even if you were able to stop the charge (and you can't), you wouldn't want to.

  • Cannot listen to iPod while charging

    I am charging my iPod via USB through my PC, but I am unable to get to where I can listen to the music while it is charging.
    I have the "Manually Manage music and Videos unchecked (saw this in help and tried this solution)
    I would greatly appreciate help in this as I need it in order to not have to hear my boss! 

    UPDATE:
    Found the answer elsewhere - write this down people! 
    If one of your Safari browser tabs contains an active or even paused video(YouTube, Vimeo,etc)
    the music will be paused when switching to Safari.
    Why why why isn't this stuff in the manual?

  • Is it okay to use your new iPod Touch before charging it for the first time? I did and then listened to it while charging and syncing. Thanks

    Just got the 5G Touch. I turned it on and was using the camera and stuff before I charged it for the first time. Then while charging, I listened to the music I was syncing through the speakers. This okay? I remember reading to always charge full before ever doing anything on them. Doesnt say anything in the startup manual though.
    Thanks guys.

    Should be OK. Just make sure that the iPod is charging.

  • This accessory is optimized for iphone/no music while charging in car

    I have an iPhone 3GS when I charge in my car I get a message this accessory not optimized for IPhone.  What does this mean?  Secondly, while charging on this charger I get no sound when trying to listen to music. Thanks for your help in advance

    I would highly doubt that the battery pack and car charger would both be defective!
    I said no such thing!
    I said if you are using the same cable with both devices, it is probably the cable.
    I also said this can also mean your iPhone's dock connector port has some damage - likely due to mositure damage.

  • Can't listen to music while playing a game

    Why can't I listen to my music while playing a downloaded app game? The game's sounds seem to be the default, can this be changed?

    i dont think it works with all apps, but for a lot of them you can do it using this method, if the apps have a 'settings' option, you can usually turn the app sounds/music off, then double click the home button in order to access the music functions.
    applegenius,
    if an app has background music normally, then replacing it with something of your own is sometimes preferable. and some of us can multi-task, listening to music AND using apps! lol.

  • Iphone4s headphone jack broken, is there an adapter to listen to music through charger port?

  • Unable to listen to music while iPod is connected to computer

    Whenever I connect the iPod(5th Gen) to my computer it shows Do Not Disconnect message and am unable to listen to music. Also, if music is playing previously, it stops automatically. Can anyone help? Just been two days since I bought my iPod

    Try this for your Do Not Disconnect issue:
    Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Preferences>iPod. Under the Music tab see if you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes and also have a tick in the box marked “enable disk use". Remove this tick and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
    If you have your iPod set to manual update, the box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case use Safely remove Hardware icon or check this link: "Disconnecting iPod from your computer
    " http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61135
    Just another point to note, your iPod needs to be in manual mode to listen to it while connected to your PC. In automatic mode you will see the iPod library greyed out and inaccessible.

  • Listening to music while surfing web

    When I listen to music on my iPhone while browsing websites at the same time, my music often stops. It happens more with some sites than others. Plus I can't restart my music from where it left off. Have to start song from the beginning. Has anyone else had this problem? Just got my iPhone for Christmas so I haven't had it that long. Any suggestions appreciated.

    Glad to know I'm not alone.
    You know, I find it hard to believe that the QA people didn't listen to music and run safari at the same time.
    I manage to crash the iPod functionality after about 15 minutes of surfing. If I reboot the iPhone, it'll give me about 30-45 minutes of surfing before I get into the crash-every-15-minutes mode. Seems like a resource leak to me. :P

  • Creative Roar SR20A continuously prompts "TeraBass On/Off" When Playing Music While Charging

    I have noticed that when playing music for a while (over an hour or so) on the Roar while charging causes the speaker to prompt "Tera Bass On" and "Tera Bass Off" continuously every one or two seconds. This continues till I switch off the charging and then its functions normally. I believe this happens once the unit gets fully charged. Has somebody faced this issue??? Is there a fix for it??? This is an annoying bug in the firmware.

  • How do I turn of sounds in my browser so I can listen to music while I surf?

    I am listening to music on my computer. As I surf the net various websites play sounds I don't want to hear. How can I silence the browser? I can't turn down the volume on my computer because I can't hear my music?

    On Vista you can set the volume in the mixer for each application, so you can set the volume level for Firefox to 0
    See [[No sound in Firefox]] and [[Video or audio does not play]]
    You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
    You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window.<br />
    You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />
