Music stops when launching apps

Brand new iPod Touch 64GB iOS 4.1. When playing music and then launching an application (most of the time, Google mobile app), the music shuts off. Doesn't happen every time.
Memory? ???

If you are playing music using the native iPod app then it will continue to play when other app is used. However, I do not know if the other app also play music what would happen. If your music is coming from an app like Pandora it will stop when another app is used. This is because the presently multitasking is limited to a few Ipod) native apps. The Nov 2010 iOS 4.2 update will add multitasking for third-part apps like Pandora.

  • Music stops when open apps

    I have an iPad 2 and iPad 3.  Both have the same issue.  I will start playing music using the music app (standard app which came with the iPads).  Music plays fine.  I will then open an app such as Safari or iBooks.  Sometimes the music will continue to play.  Other times it will stop.  I can't seem to reproduce the experience the same way each time.  For example, I can open the music app, start the songs playing and then click on home button to open Safari (or iBooks).  When I do that, the music will stop.
    I am using the latest iTunes, have my iOS up to date etc.  I regularly sync to my MacBook Pro which has Mountain Lion.
    I suspect I am simply doing some step in the incorrect fashion.
    Any suggestions oir advice are welcome.

    Actually, in my experience - if you are using the music app and then switch to another app - the music may stop ever so briefly - and I mean for about a second - and then it will start playing again. That split second of stoppage is just because the device is switching to another app and may be short on memory - at least that's my assumption. Otherwise, the music should continue to play.
    The built in music app should run in the background as do radio apps like Pandora, iHeart Radio, TuneIn Radio. Those apps should continue to run in the background when you switch apps. They are some of the few apps that really do run in the background in iOS.

    I am using Iphoto 6 to create a slide show but my music stops when it supposed to loop?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • When listening to music on my iPhone 4S, the music stops when the screen fades.

    When listening to music on my iPhone 4S, the music stops when the screen fades. I am not using my earphones. Can someone suggest some ear buds that will work with my iPhone4S? The Apple ones do not fit...too small.

  • I am being asked for an old Appled ID when launching Apps following the latest software update.

    AAfter the latest software update on my iPad, I'm being asked to sign in to an old Apple ID when launch Apps. How do I fix this without deleting and downloading the Apps again? I have had Apple ID problems with this software version.

    IF you still have the email address that you used for th old ID, you should continue to use that ID. Purchases are always tied to the ID that was used to make the purchase. Any problems that you are experincing with the iOS should have no bearing on your Apple ID and the ID doesn't have any effect on what is going on with the iOS.
    If you can be more specific as to what the problem is, maybe someone can help.

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

  • Music stops when screen goes to sleep but my headphones are inserted correctly?

    I have an Ipod nano 6th Gen, and when the screen goes to sleep the music stops.  I have set up my sleep/wake button to play/pause so when the screen goes black and the music has stopped, I press the sleep/wake button twice and the music starts again without the screen coming back on.  I have read other comments and I have made sure that my headphones are all the way there does not appear to be anything obstructing the headphones either.  Is anyone able to help me?  Thank you

    Solved by using a 3rd party music player that can access the library on the iPad and no longer using Apple's iPod app.

  • Pismo - Color goes OFF when launching Apps!

    As an Apple developer for 22 years I thought I'd seen everything, but here's a novel problem:
    I've got a Pismo (G3 500) running OS X (10.3.9). When I reboot, the screen comes up in color. It remains in color until I launch an application. Then, for some reason, the dolor disappears! The screen goes monochrome!
    For example, I run "KidPix" (OS X version) and now the screen's color goes off.
    And, if I run any OS 9 games in Classic mode, and they want to switch to 256 colors, I no longer get any image in any acceptable video format -- but ONLY in the area where that program's window resides!
    For example, running one of the OS 9 "Reader Rabbit" titles, the screen immediately turns to distorted, squiggly lines. When the app is quit, I briefly see the FInder return to normal color / resolution, before staying in monochrome black & white.
    Anyone ever seen this?

    Stephen,
    I agree...a most odd problem. No known solution but a few suggestions for troubleshooting.
    - Have you checked System Preferences Universal Access? Possibly someone has played around with some settings.
    - I would set up a new user account, log out/in to the new account and see how it behaves. If normal, you have a problem with your Home folder. One shotgun approach is to go to your Home folder/Library and drag the Preferences folder to the desktop, restart and test.
    - If the hardware behaves normally when booted to 9.x, it should be strictly an OSX issue.
    - If you have not done so, run the cron scripts and flush all the caches.
    I would be interested in what turns up...

  • Is it possible for my phone and my Nano to share the same bluetooth device?  If so, does the music stop when receiving a phonecall?

    This might be a totally dumb Q, but I am so tech challenged it is pitiful.  Is it possible for my phone and my Nano to share the same bluetooth device?  If so, does the music stop on the Nano when receiving a phonecall? 

    No, the BT protocol does not allow for an A2DP device to be simultaneously connected to two iOS devices.

  • How do you prevent music stopping when receive a c...

    Any ideas?
    I have a Nokia N95 8GB and have loaded it up with loads of mp3s and was thinking of using it at a party shortly instead of shunting loads of CDs around to play music on... however, I've noticed that when I receive a call the music stops, which won't go down well with the party folk, even though they'll more than likely be too drunk to care
    Any help on this would be great.
    Thanks

    Best option is to activate offline profile.
    I've used my N91 8GB in parties as well, using the line out cable to hook up to my own stereo systems or my friend's and it's very cool.
    What's even cooler is to get one of the bluetooth remotes so you can control playback remotly. One cheap way is to use Wiimote and the application (can't remember from the top of my head) to connect a wiimote to the phone and use the wiimote as a remote.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Music stops when PC goes to sleep

    Any help would be appreciated
    I play my ipod through itunes for windows and since the 5.0 update whenever my PC (or laptop) goes to sleep the music stops playing.
    I have to press play on itunes to get things started again then it happens again when it goes to sleep
    This never happened until I updated my ipod touch so any help would be appreciated
    Thanks in advance 

    I normally fix this by pausing it, turning it off manually and then turning ti back on. That seems to reset it.
