Hello DeeLa, welcome to discussions.
Try resetting your iPod.
You may need to try a few times.
If that doesn't help, try the 5R's.

"Now Playing" screen not displaying

My "Now Playing" screen had always worked (i have this Ipod for approx 1-2 months), and yesterday it stopped displaying what track I was listening too.
All other screens work just fine.
Any ideas?
thanks!

How do I select which bluetooth speakers to play out of? My iPod connects to both kitchen and living room speakers. My old iPod had a selection icon on the now playing screen, but my new one doesn't.

Hi,
Our setup
A new iPod Touch 5 with iOS 8.3.
Living room speakers that use a Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter.
Kitchen speakers that use an AmazonBasics Bluetooth 4.0 Audio Receiver.
The iPod connects to both but always wants to play to the kitchen. To play in the living room, we have to unplug the power to the kitchen speakers. Bluetooth settings screen doesn't let you select between Bluetooth connections. All I seem to be able to do is forget the connection.
We also have an old iPod Touch (not sure of the generation, but it has iOS 6.1.6). On that one, there is a little icon on the now playing screen that would open a little pull-down menu to let you select which Bluetooth connection to use for playing audio.
I don't see the "select output" icon on the new now playing screen

PS the iPod seems very aggressive in connecting. I hear the living room speakers activate when my wife gets out of the car in the driveway. Then as she comes into the living room, the sound switches to the kitchen.

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

How Do I Get Siri To Show Me The "Now Playing" Screen?

When I'm driving, it's great to be able to push the home button and get Siri to play a playlist or all songs from an artist.
But how do I get her to show me the Now Playing screen? When you say "show me the 'now playing' screen," (or just about anything similar), she searches the Web. That's not what I want. What is the command to get Siri to switch to the iPod "Now Playing" so I don't have to manually tap through to that screen (and take eyes off the road)? This should be simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Thanks!

You can let Apple know you want this feature.

I can't see the song time in my now playing screen

My little brother got a hold of my ipod and started clicking away like there's no tomorrow. Now, I can't see the song time in my now playing screen, what should I do?
Windows XP

It did help but as soon as i finished restoring it my ipod just froze and it still in the "do not disconnect" screen and it's not moving at all. and it does not even recognize my ipod anymore.

'Now Playing' screen shows only the outline of a black rectangle

Hey,
As the subject suggests, my 'now playing' screen doesn't show any of the artist/title/album info but rather shows the outline of a black rectangle that takes up most of the screen. When changing the volume the little volume bar doesn't show up either. Everything else seems to be working fine. I don't exactly want to reset my ipod, but any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

*Reset is not pushing the central button several
time.
i know, but thats how u cycle through menus
You must hold down the central button AND the menu
button for about 6 seconds, or until you see the
Apple logo. No worry reset doesn't do anything bad,
it does only restart your iPod (like restarting your
computer). Even if you don't use your iPod for about
a day, it will eventually turn off to heavy sleep,
and you will have to start it again (like normally,
only difference is the Apple logo screen).

Is there a way to create a playlist from the now playing screen on ios7?

Is there a way to create a playlist from the now playing screen on ios7? I want to be able to hear a song in my collection and immediately add it to an existing playlist or create a new playlist.
Thank you in advance

Hi Cornellius,
From the now playing screen there's a Create button at the bottom that allows you to create a
Genius Playlist
New Station form Artist
New Station from Song
IPhone Help, Browse and play
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3cf21a82
The Now Playing screen provides playback controls and shows you what’s playing.
For information on Genius Playlists, see

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2978
I don't see an option to add it to an existing playlist.
Best Regards,

I lost my "Now playing screen" How do I get it back? All it shows is the album cover and the song list pages

How can I get my "Now Playing" screen back? I can't scroll or change screens at all. All I have is the album picture and the song list page. I can toggle between the two but nothing else. It did this all by itself. Now it's stuck.

what happens when you tap the screen?
Next try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Can't access the artist in "now playing" screen

In the "now playing" screen, we can see all the songs on that particular album (hitting the 3 red lines in top right corner) which is cool. But why can't we get a link to the artist? Sometimes I'd like to hear other songs from that artist on different albums but have to back all the way out, scroll to artist, and find the song. Doesn't seem reasonable to have a direct link to the artists' collection from the "now playing" screen?
Discuss.

i get a unknown error 11222.
There's some info on your error message number in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

Thanks planb77 but i am swiping the now playing screen to the right and it doesn't go any further any other suggestions to stop my songs repeating?

Thanks planb77 but i am swiping the now playing screen tothe right and it doesn't go any further, i still can't get the repeat arrows up, any other suggestions?

Maybe it would help to look at the iPod's User Guide. See page 21 of your iPod's User Guide for more assistance on the repeat setting.

Ipod Touch "now playing" screen

I have an Ipod touch that has been updated to 4.3. I don't normally use it as a music player, because I have a Nano and usually take that with me when I'm out and about.
On the "now playing" screen for music, there is no counter for the tracks, sometimes I find this useful, so where has it gone?

I have seen this behavior occasionally with the Music player. Normally, tapping the screen will bring up the scrubber bar/hide it, but, when in this abnormal state, tapping the screen does nothing. To retrieve the normal, correct scrubber bar behavior try shutting down the Music by closing it via the recent apps tray and restarting it.

Art displayed in library but not 'Now Playing' window

This is odd.
It's not the case with all the albums that I've got but in the view in iTunes where you can scroll through album artwork the images appear, but for some of them they don't appear in the 'Now playing' window.
I can't even find where the images that I can see are stored. When I do a Get-Info on the album/song there is no artwork in the info pane, but it's there in iTunes, just not in all places.
I've sourced most of artwork through Widget Foundry's Amazon Album Art widget, although a signifant number of the images where dragged and dropped from Google Images.
Any clues?
Thanks.
PS - using latest OS and iTunes

This is odd.

Music > iTunes > Album Artwork ?
I think new artwork goes here if downloaded by iTunes because if CoverFlow had to scan through all your tracks to find the embedded artwork it would slow it down too much.

Now playing screen only shows alblum art

i know this might sound kind of stupid, but my cousinwas playing with my ipod video adn messed it up so now when i play a song it only shows the alblum art and it doesnt show the title or artist or anything. and if there's no alblum art, it's just blank....
what can i do to get it to say the song title and artist again?
Windows XP

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

"Now Playing" screen

I'm playing music via AirPlay and I want to see the artist/title, timing bar, etc. But all it does it show that in the bottom corner for the first 2-3 seconds of each song. Anybody know how to get it to show up?

found it. on the main menu, it's the top left preview tile when you select "computers." thanks for the help.

Is there a way to browse "Artist" from the now playing screen?

On my old click-wheel nano - 5th Gen - i believe, when a song is playing, I could hold down the center button and be presented with a number of options. "Start Genius, Browse Album, etc." My favorite was "Browse Artist." Is there a way to do that on the new Nano (7th Gen.) I know I can hit the little list button to browse an Album, but is there a way to browse the artist without back-tracking to the main menu? Thanks!

Not on the 6G Nano.
