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?

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!

My Nano has no sound when connected to car stereo USB

My Nano has no sound when I connect it to my car stereo USB. The display works though

Why don't you try changing the input on the car stereo? I have a '13 Honda Odyssey and whenever I plug in my 7th gen nano I have to press a button labeled "USB/Aux" to switch to the Nano. I would also make sure to check that it is nano compatible, that the volume is up and that the stereo is on. Not to make you sound dumb, but you honestly might feel that way if you had the stereo off, I know I would (and have!)

How can I stop iOS from opening a recently received message when I click on the messages app to compose an unrelated message to a different contact? I want to read it later, when I have time to reply, and I don't want to forget to go back to it.

iPhone messages automatically open when I don't want them to
One of my first ever flip phones had a wonderful function where you could choose a checkbox next to received messages to make them appear read or unread. This was very convenient for messages which you read, but don't have time to reply to immediately, and want to remember to come back to later.
In contrast, the latest, greatest iPhone not only does not have this rudimentary message management function, but it goes one step further in the wrong direction. If there is just one received, unread message, and you click on the messages icon, the new message will automatically be opened. It is opened irrespective of whether you have time to read it right away, irrespective of if you simply wanted to compose a new message or go back to another already read message. It just opens the new one, and then you are in a position where you have to read it and respond to it right there, or risk forgetting about it and failing to reply to it altogether. I sometimes receive a lot of messages over a period of a few hours, so it is very easy to lose track of these half-read messages in the mayhem. I have missed countless messages because of this problem. Incidentally, if there is more than one received message, then the application doesn't automatically open any of them, which is much better, because you can at least choose when you want to open one of the unread messages. But ideally, you should be able to go through your list of received messages and check or uncheck them as read or unread at any time, so that you can easily find messages that still need to be replied to, or reconsidered.
Does anybody have a solution to this problem? It strikes me as a simple data management solution that should be, but is not an option in the basic functionality of the app. Frustrating!

Is this an IMAP account?
If so, delete the messages in Mail from all folders and quit Mail.
Go the the website and clear the messages from all folders there.
Reopen Mail and verify the messages have been deleted for all folders.

Radio streaming apps crash in ios 7 when connected to car by usb

I wonder if anyone can help?
Up until ios7 I could connect my iPhone via a usb cable to the cars audio ( Vauxhall insignia) and listen to my music and also a streaming radio app it worked absolutely fine using 3G data or wifi.
However after installing iOs7, it connects ok, then the radio app loads fine, plays for about 20 seconds, trips out for a second, reconnects for a few seconds, then crashes, with the message on the dashboard " USB device not recognised".
The only way to get it to recognise is to disconnect the usb data lead & reconnect it.
When using the music app on the phone & data lead connected to the car audio it stays connected and works perfectly.
An ideas anyone please?

try another usb port but usb is a poor way to charge the batt.
if you look under menu/settings/batt, at the bottom it says you won't show a full charge with usb charging.
i have the phone off & charge with wall adapter for 3 hours.

IPhone 4: Since iOS5 Bluetooth issues when connected to car hands free and audio system

Hi @ all,
this discussion is either a kind of "warning" for those who hadn't yet updated to iOS 5 and a beg to Apple for fixing the issue:
Obviously the iOS 5 does have some problems with VW and Ford (germany) modells equipped with handsfree and audio systems (googling a little bit resulted in many, many complaints in german discussion forums about it). Unfortunatelly I'm facing these problems now too:
Issue 1:
When the iPhone is connected to the audio-system of the car via Bluetooth, the Audio Slider on the iPhone doesn't work any longer. The only thing that it is capable to do is, if you slide it completely to the left, which results in switching the audio completely off.
Issues 2 (much more annoying):
When the iPhone is connected to the handsfree system of the car, the ringtone volume is obviously set to "off" or at least "extreme low". This doesn't harm when using the phone with the handsfree since the ringtone still is coming from the cars loudspeakers. But as soon as you leave the car and the bluetooth connection is disconnected, the ringtone audio on the iPhone is STILL set to "off". Means: Each time, when you leave your car, you have to increase the ringtone volume manually.
Issue 1 is more a "not nice" or a "OK, it's first release" bug. But issue 2 would have been a reason for me to wait for upgrading to iOS 5, since I'm using my iPhone as a business tool and am quite frequent on travel.
To verify that I hadn't had a bug when upgrading for the first time my iPhone, I completely set my phone back to factory default, put it in maintenance mode and re-flashed it completely anew using iTunes. I only performed minimal setup to make sure, nothing else could cause this. The issue still remained, therefore it was clear to me, it is iOS 5. I never had any of these issues with iOS 3 und 4. A probable "workaround" would be a downgrade, but this doesn't work, as known, either.
@ Apple Engineering: Please fix this as soon as possible!
Cheers,
Frank

Good question... I haven't found a "reliable" way of sending constructive(!) Feedback to those at Apple who really care. I remember the beginning days of Mac OS X, when the reply-link was even on top of the dock.
Maybe I'm just not aware of working feedback channels, I only can hope that some of Apple's people with "influence" read statements like this...
Cheers,

Why my ipod will switch on automatically when connected to pc through usb cable?

can anyone tell what i can do to stop my ipod from switching on automatically whenever it is connected to my pc through usb cable? .. thanks

What do you mean it swithes on. Thats because its charging.
Now if your talking about it opening itunes, thats fixable. Just let it open up itunes & go to ur device & scroll down on summary until you see a box to select saying "automatically open itunes when this device is connect" make sure the little box isnt checked.

What happened to Zotero? It disappeared when you upgraded my Firefox (Mac) and I don't want to download a new version because I would lose so much information I had stored in it.

I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8, and just upgraded firefox to 8.0.1.
I have used Zotera for several years and had lots of resource information stored in it. I need it for a current project, but it is no longer showing up in Firefox since the upgrade.

Thanks for the tip, adam.smith. The Zotero link said to check the add0ns and extensions in Firefox, which says: Zotero is incompatible with Firefox 8.0.1.
That' a surprise, and very disappointing. I'd like to go back to the previous version of Firefox - is that possible?

Don´t want to play music videos automatically when playing a Single

I´m using iTunes 11.
Its very annoying that iTunes plays music videos automatically when I´m listening to a single I bought on iTunes Store which includes a music video. I don´t have a problem with it when the video appears in my music library, but I don´t want to watch it when I only want to hear music and iTunes is minimized.
I could create a playlist, but I don´t want to because for two tracks it´s worthless.
So does anyone have a workaround for this issue?`

When in iTunes, click on file, then preferences. See the "general" tab. There is a drop down menu "When you insert a CD". What are your settings there ?

IPhone 5S playback won't pause when connected to car USB.

I drive a 2009 Civic Hybrid, and when I connect my iPhone 5S to the USB jack, music plays automatically. When I try to pause it, it stops momentarily and resumes. It also overrides voice command. Any idea why this might be happening or how to stop it?

Same happens to me with a Hyundai Tucson under 8.1.x ; whenever I plug the phone it starts playing, and can't pause. Siri also won't work since as soon as it pauses the music, it resumes playback and interrupts Siri.
However at some point it did fix itself; it was something like I connected the phone while in the middle of a call after having done a sync, and then turned the car on and it did not initiate playback (since I was in the middle of a speakerphone call), and from then on it worked fine, did not do the automatic playback anymore. Everything worked as it should for weeks, until I upgraded to 8.1.2 and then it broke again. So it's some kind of setting or "cookie" that'd be stored either in the phone or in the car. Haven't been able to replicate the "fix" again.

Is there a way to prevent music from autostarting when connected to bluetooth

When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

I don't know if this will work but it's worth a try. I wonder if somehow you ended up with a short inside of your iPad. Give the things below are trying to see if that helps. Good luck.
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
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. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.
