][Music] Make Spotify Safe While Driving

Dear Spotify, As someone who loves to jam out in my car, I (and I'm sure many others) would love a feature that makes it safer to skip, pause, and play songs while driving. In my experience trying to find safe driving apps for music streaming, I could never find one that was compatible with Spotify. So I'd like to suggest a possible add-on or app that would make Spotify jamming safer for drivers. Maybe something with features like double-tap to pause and play, swiping left or right to skip or go back to songs, tap and hold for microphone and talk-back commands to request playlists or artists. I have an app on my Motorola called "Assist" that detects when I'm driving through GPS. Maybe a feature like that could work with this app too. I'm sure theres a lot more to consider when making an app. I'm not too informed in subjects like this but I hope this is a helpful suggestion if ya'll need ideas on how to make it easier for users to blast "Get Low" by Lil John out their cars hands-free. To the windooooooww to the waaaaalllll!!! Till sweat drops down my.... Sincerely, Giselle

"In Car" mode: to avoid texting while driving

Simple solution to Avoid texting while driving.
Just like we swtich on "In Flight" mode...there should be a "In Car "mode. It should do the following things
1) Turn on Bluetooth...and sync with car.
2) If you get a text while in this mode..there will be an automatic response to the text " I am currently driving and can not reply to your text message currently".
3) It should disable you from actively texting.
Thanks,
Chinmay

I love that I found this. I just bought a Honda CR-V and now have the Bluetooth through the car. I absolutely love it. I would love to see a automatic reply when a text comes in to say "I am currently driving, if you need an immediate response please call me so that I can use my Bluetooth". One thing I really love about having the in car Bluetooth, I don't even hear the text come over for some reason. It does not make the sound over the speakers unless I have my radio to Bluetooth for my music.
Now the new Civic comes with a plug where it will read you texts and stuff. They need to make this plug compatible with all vehicles through the USB port in the car.
Come on Apple geniuses you can do this.
Thank you in advance.

My sound keeps scrambling and blaring without warning before I either restart or stop music/videos for a while. It's without warning and happening on different programs. Is this happening to anyone else?

I thought about resetting the nvram/pram, but before I do that, I wanted to check here. It might not be the issue. My startup looks fine and the sound is great up until the discrete moment when it's suddenly scrambled and nonsense.

I did try a safe boot once before, which didn't stop the occurrences. I can try it again to make sure, and see if the problem stops happening.
Never installed extra audio or plug-ins, though.
It happened just once not long after I bought the mid-2013 MBA, which I think came with 10.8.4, but I assumed the noise was because I was moving the computer around on a surface that created static, since the noise stopped after I picked it up off the surface. However, that must have just been a coincidence, because it happens more frequently now without moving or touching anything.
Trying the safe-mode boot and restart, and testing it out for day or so to see if it happens again.

How do i setup my MacBook Pro to play music from Spotify or Deezer via a separate Airplay enabled speaker? I know my MacBook is Airplay enabled because i can see the icon in iTunes, which works fine, but not when general web browsing.

Airplay music from Spotify on a MacBook Pro

I would sign out again, then update your Mac (latest version, not 10.7.3 as shown in your signature), open "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and then choose iCloud and sign in again. I would also do the same on your iOS device (sign out and in). Make sure to confirm the message when you will be asked to merge the contacts with iCloud.

Is there a way to truly "unlock" my Pantech Hotshot so I can answer it while driving without causing a wreck?

Okay, maybe I'm just not understanding something, but here goes. I recently "upgraded" from my 1990's era flip phone to something more "modern", and so far I'm thinking it's one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made. In my ongoing quest to just be able to actually use my Pantech Hotshot, the most recent situation I'm facing is figuring out an easy way to answer the thing without have to slide up the locking bar and then press another icon. My wife called me yesterday while I was on the way home, and in trying to fiddle with the blasted thing I missed the call and it went to voicemail. I then pulled over into an office parking lot to call her back, lest I kill myself and someone else on the road. Here is the closest thing I find about this issue in the user manual:
CALL SETTINGS
Allows you to customize the call settings of your phone. HOME KEY TO ANSWER Allows you to answer incoming calls when you press the Home key. 1. Unlock the screen, tap Settings and then tap Call Settings. 2. Tap ON or OFF next to Home Key To Answer
In actual usage, all this seems to mean is that I can hit the Home Key to answer the phone, after I have slid up the locking bar. What I think I'm looking for is a way to totally disable the locking bar so I can just answer phone with going through multiple gyrations while driving. Any insights on this out there would be most appreciated.
I do so miss my flip phone. All I had to when receiving a call was flip it open and say hello. And pulling up my contact list to make a call was an easy, one-handed operation. I don't see how fiddling with a touch screen is progress, but maybe I just don't get the big picture.
Thanks all.

Can't Do That While Driving

I have an iPhone 5 with the latest version of IOS 8. I have a pioneer head unit in my vehicle. My goal is when I push and hold the Bluetooth button on my phone, Siri comes on and I can ask to open Slacker Radio or Pandora Radio and have the music play.
This goal cannot be accomplished because Siri then reports back to me, "I'm sorry, I can't do that while driving" Very ironic that the phone is trying to prevent me from using it while driving, but at the same time forcing me to look at it while driving, which is the very thing I'm trying to avoid by using Bluetooth hands free.
This is the reason I may be switching to Android. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is there any bypass to this?

As a matter of fact there is. You put your hand on the radio and tune it....been doing it for decades.

[Desktop][Your Music] Make "Your Music" friendlier to large collections

I've appreciated all the big interface changes that have gone into helping out people who like to collect album-by-album, and the "Your Music" functionality is really great. However, for people with big collections such as myself (well over 6000 songs spanning over 18 straight days of music, although i'm sure I'm not the biggest out there) it's kind of hard to just browse your music looking for an album to listen to. The album art based "Albums" view is very pretty, but for me it only fits 8 albums on screen at a time, which makes browsing your collection by album very slow. My idea is to add a slider, similar to the functionality that lets you change icon size in Windows' File Explorer, by which you could control the size of the albums manually: (Image not mine) It would also be cool to have "List" functionality, like File Explorer; just displaying the albums in a big list next to the artist and year, sort of how the Songs view is now, but for albums. It's a pretty minor gripe, but it would help make Spotify more usable for "music hoarders" such as myself :)

How do I prevent my Bluetooth from cutting on and off while driving?

Hi. Just bought a Honda Pilot 2013. I have been having trouble pairing the car's phone system and my Galaxy S III so that it works consistently. If the car is moving and I'm talking on the car phone, the call will switch back and forth between the speaker on the handheld phone itself and the car phone. This also happens if you are trying to listen to Pandora - while driving the music will be playing on the car speakers and then it will drop off and the screen will say something like 'Can't locate a bluetooth device'. If the car is in 'park', this doesn't seem to be a problem. And, in either situation, the bluetooth on my phone says it is 'On.'
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Dear DavidLeon65,
Good afternoon. I am sorry to learn of the difficulties you are experiencing with the bluetooth connection in your car. I know this can be frustrating. It would be my pleasure to address your bluetooth concerns.
When the bluetooth connection drops out, is the phone near you? Also, do you have Wi-Fi turned on? If so, please turn off Wi-Fi, then test. What software version do you have? For directions on how to check the software verison on your phone, click http://vz.to/SrMyDh

Disable all addons by going to Tools -> Addons and clicking the disable button in every entry under Extensions or Plugins panels.
Restart Firefox.
Confirm the problem isnt there.
Enable each addon one by one by going to Tools -> Addons and clicking the enable button in every entry under Extensions or Plugins panels, in such a way that each time you enable ONE addon, you RESTART the browser and see if the problem STILL happens.
AS SOON AS the problem happens, disable the last addon you enabled. That one is the culprit. You can now enable all the others, if needed.

How to make a safe copy of all mails or to export these?

Hello, I'n newbie on Mac OS X. I've been wondering how to make a safe copy of all mails in my inbox or to export all of them, like on Outlook with the function "Export". I don't find such function under MAIL. Can you please help me? Thanks
Best regards.

Hi
Welcome to Mac Computing.
The folder holding your e-mail plus mailboxes etc. is located (via the Finder) in your User Account>Library>Mail folder. You can copy this folder to external media, such as another hard drive, or CD/DVD.
If you want to save specific e-mails, follow these directions from Mail's Help section (Help Menu):
Exporting email messages:
You can save one or more messages as a separate file to archive messages or to import the contents into another application. You can open the saved message in TextEdit.
Open the message you want to export.
Choose File > Save As, and enter a name for the file.
Choose a location for the file from the Where pop-up menu.
Choose a format from the pop-up menu.
If you choose Rich Text Format, the text formatting of the message will be visible.
If you choose Plain Text, the colors, fonts, and other formatting will be lost.
If you choose Raw Message Source, the full delivery headers will be visible. If the message has attachments, you'll only see the encoded version of the attached files.
A Good way to familiarize yourself with OS X is to pick up a copy of Scott Kelby's book OS X Tiger: Killer Tips.
