Lock screen while playing music and charging

I thought recently Apple had made a change so that the lockscreen would show your album art while playing music AND charging at the same time. Right now I'm playing music and charging, but the lock screen shows the battery charging. Is this a change or am I mis-remembering?

That is strange. I do not get album art when the phone is locked and an album is playing. All my albums have album art too. I will reboot and try again, maybe it's a bug in iOS4.1?
FIXED !!! -- I just rebooted my iPhone and now it works. Strange.

Lock screen while playing videos and music?

iPhone 4 iOS 7.1.2 (up to date), no SiM card installed.
This is an old iPhone I use to play videos and music for my daughter (2 years). She watches the video, but tends to too=uch the screen because that's what kids do. This pauses the video, or sends the phone to the home screen. Is there a way to lock out the screen while the video plays so that only the home button will pause the video?

Hi Scott,
I think Guided Access with Ignore all screen touches is what you need.
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph7fad0d10
Turn on Guided Access. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access, where you can:
Turn Guided Access on or off
Set a passcode that controls the use of Guided Access and prevents someone from leaving a session
Set whether other accessibility shortcuts are available during a session
Start a Guided Access session. Open the app you want to run, then triple-click the Home button. Adjust settings for the session, then click Start.
Disable app controls and areas of the app screen: Circle any part of the screen you want to disable. Use the handles to adjust the area.
Enable the Sleep/Wake or Volume buttons: Tap Options and turn on the buttons.
Ignore all screen touches: Turn off Touch.
Keep iPhone from switching from portrait to landscape or from responding to any other motions: Turn off Motion.
End a Guided Access session. Triple-click the Home button, enter the Guided Access passcode, and tap End.
Have fun,
Nubz

Suspending the Screen while playing music...

I noticed while playing music for long periods of time this bad boy gets hot. So I tried suspending the screen while playing music. The screen shut off but the music still plays ;0) (go apple). So now I shut the screen off when playing music and that seems to help the battery life as well as the heat it puts off.

I have been looking for an answer for it myself and here are the opons :
1.having an external diplay will disable slep mode with close lid.
2.there are programs that will force it to not go to sleep (sleepless,insomnia ) - risky !!!
3.turn off the screen (by dim all the way) and keep it almost closed ....
i know non of the above are perfect for you and its realy nice to have it closed when not in use but apple will not give you service if you use the programs and it will overheat.....so dont. please,dont.

p.s. don't!

My iphone4s does not lock the screen automatically when playing music and charging

My iphone4s (iso5.1) does not lock the screen automatically with the condition in charging and playing music.
System has been set to lock the screen in 1 mins.
Everything goes fine when not in charging, the system can lock well even playing music.
System can lock as well when all the music playing apps are closed, even when charging.
I don't think that's my apps' problem, all my music playing apps have the same problem.
My ipod has the exact same problem described above, I believe that's an iso system bug.

It's not something i'm familar with but i will forward it internally for investigation. Could you please send me a PM with the IMEI of your phone and the build number? You can find these under Settings -> About phone and Settings -> About phone -> Status.

Won't display Album Art while playing music and the screen is Locked

So what's happening is that while I'm playing music and I lock the iPod, it won't display the album art. Only my wallpaper, which is one of the wallpapers that come with the iPod.

Reboot fixed it

No menus, blank screen but plays music and resets ok

I have had my iPod nano 4G for two days. I have reset it about ten times, reinstalled iTunes three times and have reset the Nano using iTunes as well, I've lost count how many times.
The problem is that there are no menus displayed. The screen is lit up in blank white, but nothing else. Strangely enough I can play music and skip back and forth with tracks, by guessing the right buttons to use.
iTunes can see it all right and resets it, synchronises ok and so on. Before I connected it to iTunes, it did display all the menus. Then iTunes wanted to upgrade the software to 1.1.1. Since then ... all blank.
iTunes has also asked me to reinstall iTunes because it could not communicate with the Nano. This was on the second use ever, after I had just downloaded the latest version it from the Apple website. I don't like brand new software telling me it has to be reinstalled, the second time I use it.
Anyway at this stage I have reset the iPod manually many times (no Apple logo - screen comes up white but nothing else), uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes many times, reset the iPod from iTunes (always using the latest updates from Apple), I have deleted the firmware update in the PC folders to force a fresh download ... when I connect now, I get a message "The ipod "D's IPOD" cannot be updated An unkown error has occurred (-124). Unkown error? You don't say. I must have spent about two days on this **** thing, I'm sending it back for a replacement, but I have to wait a while to arrange this.
If anyone has any idea of what to do (excluding solutions involving hammers or bricks) then please do let me know, thanks in advance.
P.S: The PC has a number of other USB appliances (including another non-ipod MP3 player and a Palm pilot) and they all work fine so the hardware on the PC seems fine.

If none of the 5 R's of troubleshooting are able to solve the problem, the issue is hardware related, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced or replaced. The LCD screen may have simply burned out or wore out over time.

It wouldn't also hurt to the let iPod's battery full drain. Then charge the iPod back up and go through the 5 R's again.

5th generation ipod freezes while playing music and syncing

i have a 5th gen ipod.its about 3 years old.i had no problems with it until recently.while playing music or podcast the i have noticed that weird whirring noises come from the ipod.the music or podcast plays but the buttons dont work.like if i try to pause or go back to the menu.also the battery drains out.while playing a video it freezes.
i have restored it several times.still the problem persists.
restarting the ipod doesnt solve the problem as it freezes again.
even removing the files that freeze doesnt solve the problem.please help

For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

Why is my laptop making a "glitching" noise while playing music and videos.

Hi,
It's hard to explain, but it's just an interrupted noise that happens randomly throughout audio and media. Just started happening out of nowhere.
Recently I've been having some problems playing back any sort of media. At regular intervals the audio will freeze/skip for a second and make a loud grinding noise. This happens with music, streaming videos, games, pretty much everything. If I'm watching a video or playing a game, the screen will freeze for a second, then remain normal for fewer second and does the same again. This happens every 15 or 20seconds while Playing any kind of media.
I've tried everything I could think of, updating all my drivers, reinstalling windows, running anit-virus, and cleaning out my system. But nothing helped at all. I wonder what the problem is?
Though if i reboot the problem is gone for that particular period. But it comes back again later.
Please help me with any kind of solution.

Hi @mahabulislam ,
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
Even though this is a Commercial product, You could reset the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings. This would help if something is causing an issue with defaults.
I have found this to be a help with this issue on all Notebooks.
Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Lock screen while playing video

Hello,
I know there is no support at the moment, but would like to know if there will be a software upgrade to support this in future releases? I would like the apples products have the ability to lock the screen while still allowing videos to play either from youtube or stored videos. This will allow me to hand the iPad or iPhone to my kids and let them watch their shows without accidentally pressing buttons and getting out of the video then getting upset, because their video is gone.
Thanks,
Andrew

Crackling and popping sound when playing music and watching youtube videos

there is a crackling and popping sound when i watch videos on youtube or play music/videos using vlc media player and windows media player. recently it has gotten to a point where it happens when windows is starting up or even when the laptop is required to play a sound for example when i plug in a removeable hardware such as thumbdrives

Hi @donnabail ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP 2000 Notebook and getting a buzzing or popping sound while playing music and watching Youtube videos. Try performing a hard reset.
When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook that might have caused this.
You can try this
1. Right click the Speaker icon in the bottom right corner.
2. Click Playback Devices.
3. Click Speakers.
4. Click properties.
5. Click the advanced tab on the Properties window.
6. Change the Default Format drop-down to the highest quality.
7. Apply the properties.
8. Click OK to close the properties window.
What happens if you right click on the video while playing a video and take the check out of hardware acceleration. Shut the browser down and restart the notebook.
Have you checked for an update on the Active X.
Please let me know how this goes.
Thanks.

Ios 7 lock screen and music player bug. if you unlock the phone while playing music it restarts the song .

everytime you unlock the phone while playing music it restarts the song from the beginning what can we do! probably just wait for a fix

Here the same discussion for iPods...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23043769#23043769
I had the same problem and did a reboot, for me that solved the problem.
How to reboot your iPhone:
1. Hold down the Home button (that’s the big button in the lower front) and the Sleep / Wake button (that’s the little button on the top right) down.
2. Keep holding until you see the screen go black and then the Apple logo appear.
3. Voila! Your iPhone has been rebooted. Resume your blissful life and forget that anything bad happened with your iPhone.
