Music applications stop playing when my phone locks
I was forced to update my phone from the 5.0 software to the 7 iOS software because most of my applications would no longer take updates. Now when I play my music applications every time my phone locks my music apps stop playing. I have researched this and it appears there is no way around it. The only thing that helps (not much) is extending the lock screen time to 5 minutes. Most of my phone use (other than text and talk) is streaming music and now it is a total pain due to this limiting feature. Did they do this to try to force customers to pay for music on I-Tunes? Does Apple have plans to fix this or should I start shopping for a different brand smart phone?
I have also noticed that my battery life is way shorter with the new update. I can't even make it through a full day now. Is there any way to reverse the upgrade and go back to 5.0 or am I stuck with the new software. Frustrating...

There is no Apple in this user to user forum.
Not sure why people keep talking about changing to a different brand, - we users don't care if you stay or go away from Apple.
My music plays just fine when I use the built in music app.
If you're using a 3rd party app - then talk to the app developer or look at their support site.

Sounds stop playing when user locks screen on iOS with AIR 3.9 Beta
We built a simple application that should play sounds when in background and when the screen is locked.
Since we updated to the latest AIR 3.9 Beta SDK, all sounds stop playing when the user locks the screen on iOS.
The sounds resume when the screen is unlocked.
- it works on Android
- we use renderMode : cpu
- we use UIBackgroundModes : audio
- we use NativeApplication.nativeApplication.systemIdleMode=SystemIdleMode.KEEP_AWAKE;
- sounds play when the app is in background
- was working great with AIR 3.8 SDK
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!Thanks for reproting the issue, we have an internal already logged bug for this, which is under investigation at the moment.

i carnt hear my message tone,the sound it makes when the phone locks and opens,also i am unable to hear music when playing from my phone but my ringtone and alarm tone work.Ive made sure the silent button is not on,and the volume button on the side of the phone is just showing it blank instead of it going up and down.To try and fix this i have reset my settings and restored my phone,but now its just skipping the music i have purchased from itunes when in a docking station which is now another problem i have as well.Can anyone help????
Hello dbrookes,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like even though the Mute switch is not on, sounds are not making the, well, sound they should, and the volume buttons make a blank volume indicator appear on the screen that does not show the volume level.
I wanted to recommend a couple of things.
First, I would reset the phone:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that does not resolve the issue, then you may want to try backing up to iTunes, and restoring the iPhone again but this time do not restore the backup and set it up as new to see if the issue persists without the previous configuration.
Just incase you need it, this article will help with that:

Hi. I have an iPhone 4s. The music doesn't play when I connect it to my car stereo. It used to play previously but stopped playing all of a sudden. My phone is getting charged when I cut it to the USB port. Please help with this. The iOS is 6.1.3.
Hello Priyanks,
I found an article with steps you can take to troubleshoot issues with an iPhone not connecting to your car stereo:

Music does not stop playing when I disconnect from USB in car
When iphone is connected to car stereo, music does not stop playing when I disconnect the usb cable. If someone is calling me and I unplug from USB, all I hear in my ear is music...I cannot hear the person calling me. Not sure what's happened but it never used to do this. Any suggestions?
Nseries phones have behaved this way since forever.
I don't know any way to change this. Same behavior happens if you unplug your headset or headphones.
640K Should be enough for everybody

IOS8 - Music stops playing when I open Messages app
Since downloading iOS8, my music stops playing when I open the Messages app. I have to go back to the Music app to begin playing the music again once I have closed the Messages app. I assume it has something to do with the video/audio message feature. How can I get my music to continue playing when I open the messages app?
Rebooting my phone (a 5S) solved this issue, at least temporarily. I was ready to rush to the Apple Store and beg them for an iOS 7 phone; no music while texting is a definite deal breaker for me.

Music stops playing when the screen goes dark; the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in. what is the problem? How do I Fix it?
And you are positive the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?
Have you tried another set of headphones to see if the problem persisted? If so, it's likely that the headphone jack needs replacing.

My Ipod shuffle 3rd gen starts playing songs with some kind of interference until it stops playing, when I turn it off and on again it starts playing from the first song all over again, and once it sounded like the music was slowing down. First I thought it was the earphones, but I exchanged them for newer ones and so far its the same
You may want to do a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes. The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes. This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If it's a software or data corruption glitch, the Restore should fix it. After the Restore, reload or resync your songs, and try it again. As a test, you may want to initially select a small number of songs to put back on the shuffle.

Why does my music stop playing when I sleep my screen?
Why do songs stop playing when I sleep my screen? If my screen automatically sleeps after two minutes or I sleep it with the button or iPad smart cover the music stops playing. It only started doing this after upgrading to 5.0.1. Is this just a bug with the new software?
Thanks Rachel, I have done that and it seemed to have taken care of the problem, though my music videos in "Video" stop playing when my iPad sleeps automatically after two minutes... I am trying to find out how to contact apple about these issues directly...

My itunes music stops playing when my laptop screen closes down after about 5 min. im using windows7
my itunes music stops playing when my laptop screen closes off after about 5minutes. im using windows7
DriveReadySeekComplete errors are either:
- IDE controler failure
- Bad cables
- Bad harddisk
Out of these 3, the last one sounds the most reasonable with nowadays harddrives. And yes, your system will hang when all your important processes are hanging while trying to do disk I/O.
What windows does is switching back to PIO mode and never report anything, until you hit the nice BSOD telling you to replace the floppydisk in drive C... -
XBox Music stops playing when minimized
In Build 9879, when you minimize the music app to the task bar it stops playing. You have to leave it on the desktop to keep playing the music. Doesn't do this in 8.1, what's up?
Hi HuskerNJ,
As Paul Adare’s link states:
Some known problems:
As with the last build, you’re getting hot-off-the-presses code which means there are a few issues. We’ll be publishing WU updates shortly to fix the first two, but the remainder will not be fixed for 9879.
In some cases you may get a black screen when trying to log-in or unlock. The only option is to hold the power button to hard reboot.
You will be unable to connect to Distributed File System network locations.
Some systems may see disk growth of 20GB+ due to driver install duplication. On systems with low disk space this can block setup and cause a rollback to the previous
build.
Skype calls will disconnect and
Music will stop playing if those apps are minimized.
There are several known issues with screen sharing with Lync.
We have known this issue. It would be fixed in the future builds.

Volume controls don't work in Messages iOS 8. And music stops playing when I open Messages
My volume buttons don't work when I'm in Messages on iOS 8, I can't change the ringer or headphone volume. More annoyingly music stops playing when I open Messages, but I can start it again. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
For all of you, the first thing to do when these things happen after an update, is to close all your open apps and reset. This will cure your ills 99.9% of the time:
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
why does my music stop playing when i press the sleep wake button? it says that the screen should turn off bu the music should still keep playing
This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in. Make sure the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
If you are 100% positive that the earbuds are all the way in, double check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris and/or damage.
