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

Does iOS5 allow streaming music while surfing web?

With iOS4 I could stream music from a website and surf the web (although it was a pain because I had to find a hyperlink in an email to click and open a different page) but with iOS5 as soon as I open a different page the music stops playing. Any ideas? Apple, please fix this!

Anyone? Help please...!
Is Apple monitoring these discussion boards, as they're on the Apple website?

I was wondring if there is any top free app for cleaning up the computer and make it run faster while booting, on startup and while surfing web. I am using a macbookpro with IOS10.8.5, under chrome,safari,firefox net environment. thanks on yourhelp

I was wondering if there is any top free app for cleaning up the computer from malware, phinishing apps, adware, and othere malicious softwares and make it run faster while booting, on startup and while surfing web. I am using a Macbook pro with IOS10.8.5, under chrome,safari,firefox net environment. thanks on your help

I was wondering if there is any top free app for cleaning up ...
There is no such thing, since the problems you are describing can have various causes. Seeking anything claiming to "clean" your Mac is asking for trouble, since all of those products are scams, whether they are "free" or not.
If you are having trouble with your Mac, describe what it is. Be as specific as possible. For general recommendations read below.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose:Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

IMac froze while surfing web last night (color pinwheel), I forced quit and now when rebooting the fan and chime come on, the monitor stays on grey and the apple sign is replaced by a stop sign and I can't get past this, is there self fix? Never backed up

iMac froze while surfing web last night (color pinwheel), I forced quit and now when rebooting the fan and chime come on, the monitor stays on grey and the apple sign is replaced by a stop sign and I can't get past this, is there self fix? Never backed up.
The computer (top / back of monitor) gets really hot within minutes.

How old is the iMac?
With no backup, you have probably lost all your data.
Sounds like serious hardware problem for which you are going to have to take it to Apple for an estimate of repairs.

While surfing web too many website redirect occurs on safari as well as Google search. I am using wifi. This problem not there on my pic which is connected through wired modem

While surfing web too many website redirect occurs. I am using wifi. some times it redirects to sexual sites some times to App Store. I tried after deleting history and cookies also. I am using safari and Google browser. I changed router configuration and password but problem still exists.

Hi! Thanks for your quick reply.
A few things happened since I've posted this.
1)I've deleted all the history and cookies from my macbook safari and when I opened the website with the issue, the problem did not happen this time.
2)Seeing this, I've deleted my history on iPhone's safari and opened the same website but the problem was there again.
3)The problem does not happen on iPad.
So, I do not have the problem at all on Google Chrome but on Safari (now just on iPhone)
Is this still about my router settings? If so would changing my phone DNS settings would suffice? Or do you think the problem might still remain on my computer as well?
This is so frustrating for a person who does not know anything about technology at all
Thank you!

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!

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 />

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.

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 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.

Using Airport Express to play music while surfing the web via netgear

Can I play music over my airport express (airtunes), while simultaneosly surfing via a different wireless router. As it stands I have been unable to do this, because I have to set my wireless connection to one or the other. When I link up to my NETGEAR for browsing, the remote speakers in itunes become unavailable.
Has anyone found a solution to this?

Hi, thanks for your help. It got me reading, and here's what I figured out:
The problem was when I originally set the profile I had my internet cable plugged into the airport express; So the set up assistant assumed that i would be using that as my internet connection. I just had to re-setup with the airport ONLY plugged into the stereo.
Again, thanks for your help.

No music while surfing the web

I've had my iPod touch for less than 24 hours and I've already hit a snag.
I set the ipod to play music in shuffle. Then I go to safari to do web browsing. At random intervals, the music playback just stops. When I go back, it's not like it paused; I have to start the song over.
Any ideas?

It's basically crashing (the iPod part of the Touch). Could be a conflict with the particular websites you're viewing. Some of this stuff may help:
