Music stops when displays sleeps or when i lock the screen on my 7th gen nano

When i am listening to my music on my newly purchased nano 7th generation, once the screen 'sleeps' or if I click on the lock key, the music pauses. I can't find anything to prevent this in settings. Please help.
Regards,
Tim

  • 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.

  • Email stops synching after 15 minutes (when it locks the screen). Any thoughts?

    I got the Droid 2 yesterday.  Email account (syncs to corporate email) works fine until the device goes to sleep (or what ever it does after 15 minutes that locks the screen then you have to enter a PIN to wake it up again).  Even after entering the PIN, I need to go into the email application for it to synch.  Seems to me like it should sync with email irrespective of whether the screen is locked or not.
    I've run the Droid Power app and ensured sync is green
    Battery mode is in Performance mode (to ensure it would always sync)
    Email delivery is set to Data Push ON with a Fetch schedule of 15 minutes; Synch over WiFi Only is NOT checked
    I got the newest OS update this morning, but still no joy.
    Does anyone have any thoughts on what else I can try?
    Thank you,

    This may be nothing may than a simple software issue. I recommend performing a hard reset then re-enabling the sync. The steps to perform the hard reset are below:
    To reset your phone to factory settings and erase all
    the data on your phone, touch Menu > Settings
    > Privacy > Factory data reset > Reset phone.
    Warning: All data on your phone will be deleted.
    (Nothing on your memory card is deleted.)
    To reset your phone to factory settings and erase all the data on your phone,
    touch Menu
    > Settings
    > Privacy
    > Factory data reset
    > Reset phone.
    Warning: All data on your phone will be deleted.(Nothing on your memory card is deleted.)
    Hope this helps.

  • 7th gen Nano only works when plugged in, turns off when  unplugged... battery is fully charged.

    7th gen Nano only works when plugged into computer, as soon as I unplug it shuts off (it was ejected from iTunes). Battery is fully charged.  Have already done a restore in iTunes and checked for updated software. 

    Hello there, DizDude.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some good recommendations for troubleshooting battery issues with the 7th generation iPod Nano:
    iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4433
    Particularly this section:
    Battery life appears short
    Learn how to conserve battery life.
    Ensure that the latest software is installed on the iPod.
    When charging, use the cable that came with iPod nano (7th generation) and leave the device connected until it is fully charged.
    Note: If you are charging using your computer, don't connect iPod nano (7th generation) to your keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod nano (7th generation) is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod nano (7th generation) battery may drain.
    When you are done using the iPod nano, verify that:
    The Radio application is off (tap the button)
    Music is paused (tap the button in the iPod application or disconnect the earphones)
    There is no active Pedometer session (tap the Stop button in the Fitness application)
    Dimming the screen is another way to extend battery life on iPod nano. Go to Settings > General > Brightness and restore the brightness to the default, or drag the slider to the left to lower the default screen brightness.
    Playing tracks with EQ requires your iPod processor to consume more energy than playing tracks without EQ, because the EQ information is not encoded in the song. To prolong battery life, turn EQ off if you don't use it. Go to Settings > Music > EQ and select Off from the list. Note, however, that if you've added EQ to tracks in iTunes, you'll need to set EQ to Flat to have the effect of Off, because iPod keeps your iTunes settings intact.
    Try restoring iPod nano (7th generation) by connecting it to iTunes and clicking Restore.
    Test the battery life.
    Issue not resolved
    If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Ipod shuts down when locking the screen

    I used to be able to lock the screen by lightly pressing the power button. Now when I do the music is stopped. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks

    This is usually an indication that your iPod's 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.  The headphone jacks on the newer Nanos are a bit tighter than in previous generations.
    Otherwise, make sure the headphone jack clean and clear of any sort debris.

  • Why is it when using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes turn black or have blue stripes on it? What's wrong with it and what should I do?

    When using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes become black or have blue stripes on it! Is this a hardware or software problem? Can this issue be covered by my warranty? I bought it inmid-december last year, and this problem came at around Late January. It's a rare case, only came about 5 times, but this really concerns me. What's wrong with it? Thank you so much for your concern.

    thank you for your reply
    I brought it to the store and they agreed to give me an exchange. thank goodness!
    I have a new question: I've now transferred my back up datas to my new iphone. They wanted me to register, so I registered (as my old apple ID) and then they asked if I want to restore backup, I did that too. after the restore back up process, the only things that aren't there were my music and apps! what should I do to get them into my new iPhone?

  • Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?

    Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?

    See if any of the following fix it.
    Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
    If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
    A third thing to try is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • My ipod 4g was working fine until i locked the screen but when i tried to turn it back on the screen stays black and its been 3 days. Does anyone know how i could fix this?

    - Charge the iPod for half an hour.  Then reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - if still not working, connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod.
    - If still problem, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod.  For recovery mod see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • HT204291 Does anyone know why when streaming a movie from my iMac the screen on my tele goes grey but I still get audio. It only happens when using the DVD application on the mac. iPhoto streams fine.

    Does anyone know why when streaming a movie from my iMac the screen on my tele goes grey but I still get audio. It only happens when using the DVD application on the mac. iPhoto streams fine.

    You are prevented from Airplay mirroring certain things like DVD content as the material is usually protected so you get a checkerboard type display.  I think there is a theoretical risk that the Airplay stream could be intercepted and the protected video copied, albeitin lower quality.
    Apple may be being cautious or are required to do so with the DVD player app by movie studios/licensing authorities.  It makes no sense to the average consumer who is just trying to send their purchased DVD to the TV via the computer and AppleTV.
    Playback in something like VLC should work - not tried it myself but others have commented it doesn't have the restriction.

    YOU can't fix it.  But you can bring it in to Apple for an out of warranty replacement for $199.
