Music Play stops when computer is Locked

Need help.
When I lock the MacBook Pro with by clicking the <User Name> --> Login Window, it stops the music if iTunes is playing. I am a DJ and would like to be able lock my computer if I am away from it while songs are playing on itunes or other music software. Is there a way to lock the computer? In windows I am able to lock the PC with the Windows + L key stroke and all music/sound functionality is running normally when locked. I have migrated to Mac Book Pro and would like to be able to do the same. Also, would like to know if there is a way to create a shotcut to lock the system too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! Try using a scrren saver and then try opening the security panel pref and setting it to require password from screen saver. You can set the screen saver hot corner, put it in screen saver mode, walk away and then when you return it should require a password but still allow audio to run. Tom

  • Labview stops when computer is locked

    We are running Labview 2011.  After some time of no user interaction the computer is locked by Windows XP.  Supposedly programs should be able to keep running while the computer is locked.  My Labview code doesn't.  Does anyone know what's going on?
    The code I have controls a temperature chamber and some data multiplexere and acquires data from a frequency counter (all done through a RS-232 to USB adapter).  This is logged to a .csv file every 10 or 15 minutes.

    FAQ 1 : My USB device stops working unexpectedly.
    The first thing to look at is the OS power saving options.  There is a global trend towards developing "Green" electronics and energy star ratings are getting fairly common.  "If its not being used shut it off" is nothing new.  Cavemen learned how to bank a fire to preserve energy that would otherwise be wasted.  Likewise, the Windows OS has a power saving feature to shut down power to the USB hubs when no user activity is present.  In Automated systems this feature can cause problems since removing USB hub power will shut down the USB device.   Solution: Use the device manager to change the USB hub Power Options.
    The really funny thing is the first time I posted this the OP turned out to be the contractor sitting next to me at the time.

  • HT1879 no music plays on the computer when trying to listen to 90-second previews of songs

    Why is there no music plays on my computer when trying to listen to the 90- second preview?

    I have never heard of these issues.
    Have you tried basics from the manual?
    Restart, reset, restore?

    That's the way it works. If you don't want to be bothered with calls while you're listening to music, put it in airplane mode.

  • How do I keep my music from stopping when my ipad autolocks?

    How do I keep my music from stopping when I close my ipad or it autolocks?

    My wife has the same problem. I believe I found the solution. Activate "do not disturb" in settings - do not disturb - manual. Make sure to also go to allow calls from and set it to no one. A moon will appear in the status bar. You will see notifications of missed calls but it does not interrupt Pandora. Let me know if this works for you.

  • Podcasts crash - music plays unexpectedly when using headset

    iPhone 5s, IOS 7.0.4
    I listen primarily to podcasts using the podcast app from podcasts that I host on my home PC and download via my home WiFi network.
    I find that occasionally, the podcast will suddenly stop, requiring me to actually start the Podcast app again. The Podcast app remembers where I was, to within a second or so.
    Also, I find that if I use the apple headset to pause the play of the podcast, and I use the apple headset button to start again, music using the Music plays, not the podcast.
    Sometimes, in this situation, the music is playing and yet the task management (double tap home) shows the Music app isn't even running!
    I find this seems to happen more often when I leave WiFi range of my secured home network.
    I have WiFi on, but have 'Ask to join' disabled.
    This is annoying, particularly if I am riding my bike as I have to dig the iPhone out of my bag to 're-set' it.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Any idea on what I should do to mitigate or eliminate this behaviour?

    I deliberately go out of my way to use home-home and close the Music app.
    I don't want to listen to the music, I want to listen to my podcasts.
    Assuming Podcasts crashes, then using the button on the headset, the music app starts.
    If I could configure IOS to make the Podcast app start and resume where it left off when pressing the headset button, I would do it.
    If I wanted to listen to music, I would start the music app.
    Restarts of the phone don't fix it. I make a point of rebooting every few weeks, when I remember. For example, my current up-time is 17 days.

  • HT3819 homesharing stops when computer sleeps. I already checked the "wake for access". What is wrong?

    Homesharing stops when the computer sleeps. Already checked the " wake for access" and already changed the computer sleep to never.

    I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

  • Installed OS6, and the music player stops when opening the web browser...

    I downloaded and installed OS6 on my iPhone 4 last Thursday.  It seemed to be working fine, and then at the gym while listening to music, the player kept stopping whenever I opened Safari.  When I got home, I backed up and reinstalled the operating system.  It seemed to be fine, but then today, the same issue reappeared. Has anyone had issues with the music player crashing when opening Safari or other apps on OS6

    Hmm, looks like launching iBooks shuts down any background audio. Once iBooks is running however you can switch apps, restart the audio and return to iBooks. Provided you don't open a multimedia book like the Beatles Yellow Submarine freebie then you can read without disrupting the audio playback.
    I've tried choosing different titles in iBooks, or just the library, then quitting the app, running some audio and starting iBooks again. It repeatedly pauses audio even when iBooks doesn't have any immediate use for the audio channel. As long as you don't actively shut down the iBooks app however you can choose some music as background when you are reading.

  • Can I have music played automatically when my web site opens?

    I have gotten as far as placing an audio clip on my "about me" page but it seems to require hitting play in order to hear it. Is there a way to have the audio played automatically when the web site comes up? Also can you have it continue to all of the pages? Or is there some other stuff I am missing??
    Thanks!

  • Music plays automatically when connecting to car w/USB, and I don't want it to!

    I have an iPhone 4s.  I am using an app call RSS Radio to download and play a podcast to which I subscribe.  I use this frequently in the car, connecting to the car radio with USB.  My music player comes on automatically whenever I conncet the USB cord, and also when the podcast is stopped for any reason.  For example, when reaching the end of the podcast the music comes on.  When the phone rings, the music comes on, and I am unable to hear the caller.  This problem also happens when I am playing the Boggle app...as soon as I open the app, the music comes on.  I have to manually go into the music app and stop the song from playing, or re-start the podcast.  I don't see any settings that let me adjust anything.  Can anyone help me with a way to stop this music from coming on unless I actually go to it and play it intentionally?  Thanks!

    It's been about a year since I asked this question... I hope someone has an answer because it is such an annoying problem!  I have been reluctant to upgrade to iOS7, does anyone think this could solve my problem? 

  • TS3700 My headphones are flush, but the music still stops when the display goes dim.

    I reviewed the apple support recommendation for my music stopping for no reason and ensured my headphones were flush, but this is still occurring.  Any ideas?

    I have a new I Pod Nano 6th Gen and took to apple store cause the music would also stop playing and the headphones were not working. Apple was able to restoe it due to the voice over button had been hit by accident so screen would not work tried to do the power and volume down reset but would not work also and took them about 10 mins to get it restored at the store. And the headphone problem was due to small amount of debris stuck down in the headphone jack. They had looked at hole for earbuds and saw that something was blocking the headphones from seating all the way.. They tried with their tools to clear and could not get out the object with their tools but showed me how to  look down the plug for the headphones with a flaslight and you should be able too  see a small white dot at bottom of plug and if you can not see white dot at the bottom   something is in the hole blocking it.. I took a needle and gently tried to  pull object out and was able to break up small piece of debris that had got jammed in hole and then the debris  came right out when turn over the nano and shook out small amount  of the debris and then looked with flash light down plug hole and was able to see whit dot and was able to put headphones in and they worked fine.  I do not recommend to try this if do not have good hand skills and can GENTLY break up piece of debris to shake out took about ten mins to clean out and see the white spot at the bottom indicating plug was now unblocked and saved $75.00 for a replacement nano that was a 16gb that cost me $100.00 to buy new factory sealed   Good Luck but they were very helpful at the store!!!...resetting unit quickly and pain free

  • Why does play stop when I close the Podcasts app - IOS 6

    Whenever I leave the Podcasts app to answer an email, text, open Safari, etc., the podcast stops playing.  This effectively stops me from using any other application on my phone, unless I want to also stop listening to the podcast.  It won't continue playing in the background like the Music app did.  Of course, this is an IOS 6 issue.
    Ridiculous!!!
    Am I missing something here?

    I had the same problem the first night and my head almost exploded as playing podcasts is what my iphone is doing 95% of the time. I was also experiencing a lack of control not being able to jump back or ahead which was maddening. However, the next morning, after syncing the phone with my iTunes (on a MacBook Pro) all of this functionality was there, including the ability to have the podcasts continue when exiting the app and the ability to control them with an inline remote on my earbuds.
    Hopefully, this problem has already resolved itself for you. Unfortunately, it is my understanding that there still is no option for playlists at this time.
