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.

  • 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

  • IPad2  audio stops when screen goes to sleep

    As soon as my iPad 2's screen goes dark, the music fades out and stops. Hitting play starts it right back up. Happens the same via BT or the internal speakers. Tried killing all the apps and rebooting the iPad 2 - still happens. It's been working great until today. Any ideas?

  • Should G5 shut down when it goes to sleep?

    I bought this G5 on eBay for a song (and I've been singing ever since) .  It came without a disk, no accesss to the password and they had taken the Airport Card out.  (Specks say it comes with the APCard)  Serves me right I guess.  Anyhow,  It has always shut down right after it goes to sleep.  Is there anything I can do to stop this?  I work between two computers and sometimes I don't get right back to it.  Restarting all the time is a real annoyance.

    OK, the answer to the main question is "no" it shouldn't shut down when it goes to sleep.  I would first open the Energy Saver panel in System Preferences and make sure that you have the machine set to never go to sleep.  Here is a Tiger screen shot of that panel:
    That should solve your immediate problem.  The particular settings work very well for me, allowing me to put the computer to sleep from the Apple menu when I am not going to be using it for a while.  You might also want to take a look at the "Schedule,,," area in the energy saver panel, as in this picture, to see that nothing is selected there.
    Now, if the machine actually shuts down when you command it to sleep, then there are other issues we can work on.

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion my 2009 (early 2010) iMac mutes audio when awaking or when it goes to sleep. Anybody else having the problem? My other iMacs are not having that problem. I'm not sure if I am missing an option somewhere or what is going on.

  • How can I keep my iMac on the wireless network when it goes to sleep?

    I have a new iMac (from Santa) and when it goes to sleep, so does its wifi connection.  I use it for work and need to keep my instant messaging app open and running at all times, even when it's asleep. I also like to have all of my email waiting in the inbox when I come back to the desk.
    Is there any setting (or workaround) I can do to keep it connected even when it goes to sleep? I have a MacBook Pro that keeps its connection when it goes to sleep so can't figure out what's happening. Thanks in advance!

    going to sleep means disabling the network connection to save power
    so what you're asking is not really possible
    unless you can change what going to sleep mean on your computer
    in the power saving settings you may be able to set going to sleep to just turn off your monitor
    because thats pretty much the only thing that can go to sleep if you still wish to use it over wifi

  • Why do my programs close when computer goes to sleep

    why do my programs close when computer goes to sleep?

    What do you mean by "close"? Your open applications stay open when you put your computer to sleep. However, if you have an app like iMovie open, for example, and you are exporting a video, than exporting will pause when your computer is asleep.

  • Lose AE connected printer on MacBook when G4 goes to sleep

  • Mavericks 10.9-10.9.1 bug/issue/problem: external drives connected through thunderbolt or firewire are not put to sleep when iMac goes to sleep

    Previous to Mavericks (10.9 - 10.9.1) I've had no issues with external firewire or thunderbolt connected drives to be put to sleep. However, since Mavericks all of my external drives are not put to sleep when my iMac, or Mac Pro go to sleep.
    How can a company such as Apple, pushing people to have external devices like hard drives, is not on top of fixing this issue? Apple pushed for firewire and thunderbolt, thus All external drives I've owned are firewire. Because of speed. I bought thunderbolt adapters for firewire, and before Mavericks all worked great. Now that we have 10.9.1 update, this is still an issue!
    I'm aware of the temporary solution of connecting the drive through USB to make it work, this is not a solution, but a hack.
    Please let Apple know that this is a known issue, and there should be a fix for it. Everyone's data depends on it! Not only current external backups, but also external sensitive hard drives we rely on. Currently, the following makes are experiencing this issue: Lacie, OWC (Elite Pro), WD, Promise, Seagate, Toshiba, G-Drive.

    Same 2 issues with 10.9.3:
    External FireWire drive WILL NOT spin down when Mac goes to sleep.
    also
    External FireWire drive WILL NOT spin down for inactivity despite “Put hard disks to sleep when possible” is checked in energy saver.
    This has been going on since the launch of Mavericks and no solution found yet.
    USB ports work normally.

  • My MAC mini looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shut down.  I have to re select the network when restarting or waking the computer up.  I think this just started with Lion.  My iPod and iPad  have no trouble.

    My MAC MINI looses the wi-fi connection to a Belkin N wireless router when it goes to sleep or shuts down.  I have to re select the network when re starting or waking up the computer.  I think this just started with LION.  My iPod and iPad have no problem remembering the wireless network.

    Thank you BGreg.  That is what I have been doing, and then it works just fine.  I think it was doing the same thing in the previous version of Lion.  I may be incorrect about that.  I upgraded to 10.7.3 a few weeks ago, and then last week I reloaded the combo update, hoping it would help.  Not so.  Thank you for letting me know it is a common problem.  I have tried permissions in Disk Utilities, and in Macaroni, both at least 4 times, plus numerous restarts.  Nothing Improves.  It still can not find the internet when it wakes up or gets up.
