Phone Switches to iPod When Streaming Music

I recently installed a bluetooth streaming capable stereo in my truck and upgraded my phone to 4.2.1. Whenever I make the bluetooth connection to stream the music, my phone switches from Pandora to the iPod. Same thing happens to my wife's phone with Ford SYNC in her car.
How do I make it stop? If I already have pandora running, it should stay running. Having to pull my phone out of my pocket (and her having to pull the phone out of her purse) severely reduces the enjoyment of having the phone stream music.

Bump!
Can anyone comment on whether or not their phone has this same behavior running 4.2.1? This severely reduces my enjoyment of streaming music. Loading MP3s onto my phone isn't an option because I haven't bought any albums since shortly after CD's became popular and buying from iTunes isn't an option either because I feel like that may be what Apple is trying to bully me into doing.

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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings

Itunes freezes when streaming music to airport express and to loewe air speaker at the same time?

Hi,
(first post )
I was recently offered a Loewe Airspeaker. I already had an Airport Express connected to a hi-fi system.
The Airport Express + hi-fi is in the living-room and the Loewe Airspeaker is in our bedroom.
Both are connected to my network via wifi.
I was trying to stream music from my iMac to both the Airport Express and the Loewe Airspeaker.
When doing this, I am able to get the same tune on both devices, but iTunes systematically freezes
=>music continues to be streamed but interface on the iMac gets the endless multicolor wheel !
Has anyone seen anything similar before, for ex. is there a similar issue when streaming music to 2 different Airport Express?
Any idea on where this is coming from?
Any idea on how to prevent this?
Thx in advance
Rodolphe
A few precisions on the configuration:
the iTunes library and corresponding music are located on a Mac Mini configured as a media server.
The iMac connects to the mac mini via wifi (shared folder). Home network is organized via an Airport Extreme.
Both computers run Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion and are up to date.

Well, repying to my own post... Might have found the solution: I tried to do the same with a Macbook Pro 2010 using the very same setup. And it worked perfectly! No freeze, no nothing.
One explanation I see:
my iMac is dating back to May 2007, a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz with 2 Go of RAM.
So the computer's characteristics (or the Wifi component or the combination of all of this) might be not robust enough to allow streaming to those 2 devices...
Anyone's got anything to add?

How do I sync music onto old iPod when my music is on iTunes match? I have connected the iPod to my mac but it indicates no music to sink (as my music is in the cloud). I assume there is a simple way to resolve without downloading all music onto my mac?

Any halp with this would be excellant.
Thanks :P

Hi,
Your old pod can only sync with music that is physically in your itunes library and on your hard drive. Therefore there is simple way to resolve is to download your music to your hard drive.

Having a strange problem. When streaming music and or music videos to my Apple TV from my Mac sometimes the Apple TV seems to loose the stream and the only way I can get it going again is to turn off home share on my Mac and then turn it on again.

I do not have this problem when streaming music/music videos from my IPAD or my Iphone

The speed is probably due to your network, it is quite indirect for mirror/AP.
For the audio, you cannot split audio and video so the audio will play where the video does.

Phone switches to Spanish when texting

Hi. I just updated my iPhone 4S to the new iOS, and I have all my languages and keyboards set to English. But for some reason, when I send a text message to a couple of friends, both iMessages and text, the keyboard and autocorrect automatically switch to Spanish. How do I fix this annoying issue?

Wlan router restarts when streaming music to Airport express

Hi guys,
Yesterday I received my brand new Airport express which I plan to use for streaming music from iTunes to my Stereo. Unpacking and installing the lovely looking AE was like x-mas eve and birthday all in one .
After the installation where I set up the AE to join my wireless network. My wlan is a WEP 64 bit encrypted one, I had some problems adding it to the network with the wizard of the AE tool, but this worked just fine after using the manual set-up procedure instead where I chose WEP 40 bit in the AE tool. I also upgraded AE firmware as a part of this process.
So, the AE pops up nicely in iTunes, and I started streaming music to them, and it worked perfectly... for 10 seconds. Then the music stopped, the play-bar in iTunes stopped, and I also noticed that my laptop (Acer laptop running Windows Vista) lost the internet connection.
After some investigations where I switched off volume adjustment on remote speakers in iTunes and reseting and re-installing the AE, I noticed that the reasons for the problems seems to my wlan router re-booted whenever I started streaming music to the AE. My wlan router is a Zyxel Prestige 660, and it has worked flawlessly for the last two years. The AE is connected to the network, it gets an IP address, and it shows up just fine in the IP list on the router, that is before it restarts... And once the router re-starts the logs are gone, so it's not possible to see what's happening in that end.
Has anyone ever experienced the same? What can the root cause be? Changing the wlan encryption is unfortunately not an option since the router is pre-programmed from my ISP. I'm considering changing my modem, but I'm reluctant to spending 150 bucks on a new modem if this may not resolve the issue.
Any comments or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Part 2: The mystic restart of the router was solved through changing to a Thompson Speedtouch 780 (luckily my ISP sent me a new wlan router and I didn't even have to pay).
However, the problem with the music breaking up when streaming from iTunes to the AE remains; The stream is broken after just a few seconds, and it also seems to mess up other internet traffic on my laptop . I've tried with the AE in a number of different locations, even 1 meter away from my laptop - nothing works.
As it is now, the AE is useless. What a disappointment .

Why can't I browse the internet when streaming music?

I am using a Mid 2012 MBP in tip top shape and I have 24MB/s ADSL 2+ with current speed test results of 12.34 Mbps line speed and 1.51 MB/s dl speed. I have 3 things connected to my router MBP, iPhone and Apple TV. Router is D-Link N750. All items listed have latest firmware, updates etc.
My problem is that whenever I am streaming music, either with Spotify or iTunes Radio etc my browsing speed becomes almost unusable and when I then play the music through the Apple TV with Airplay the streaming drops out all the time and I cannot use the internet at all. I have turned off high bitrate streaming etc but nothing is helping.
When I stream through the iPhone on the wireless it all seems to work fine so I think the problem is with the MBP. I have tried reseting PRAM, deleting com.apple.internetconfig.plst etc. but no difference.
Pls help, this is driving me insane!

Power Cycle
Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
Plug it back into the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

Unknown Error -150000 when streaming music to Apple TV from an iMac

Hi,
I have a -150000 unknown error on my iMac G4 (ITUNES SERVER) when I try to stream music to my Apple TV over WI FI. If I use an ethernet connection - there is no problem. I can also select and play the iMac's music VIA the Apple TV interface using WI FI.
To summarise
iTunes Server to Apple TV via WI FI -- Does not work
Apple TV to iTunes Server via WI FI -- Works
iTunes to Apple TV via Ethernet -- Works
A MacBook to Apple TV via WI FI/ Ethernet -- Works
A Macbook to the iTunes server to Apple TV via WI FI -- Works
so I can select and play music from my iTunes server via my MacBook and play it on the Apple TV, I just can't do it directly. I have done all the patches etc. All macs have iTunes 8.02 Leopard 10.56 ( they recently been updated, but the problem existed prior to updates ) and Apple TV is now on 2.1 .. it has been on 2.3 without success.
I do think there is something within the iTunes Server settings.
This iMac (iTunes Server) has over 80 DAYS of music -- some 15,000 long classical music pieces. The music is stored on an external 3TB hard drive. This is only about a 3rd of my collection. I still need to add more. Would this be a problem?
Also most of the music was imported from an iTunes library that was originally created using iTunes 7.0. I did not have a problem then. I am tempted to go back to iTunes 7.0, but I think this will not be possible.
Many thanks in advance for any help and / or suggestions

I believe this issue has to do with firewall settings. I set up my ATV on Thursday. After I finally got around the port 3689 error (by taking my firewalls down), everything, including AirTunes, was working. However, when I re-established the firewall by customizing the port permissions, AirTunes would not work. Today I took the firewall down again and amazingly AirTunes worked. The fix - I had to open the firewall software and allow iTunes to allow iTunes.exe to allow outgoing TCP/UDP traffic.
Hope this helps. I am a PC user, but perhaps this will point MAC users in the right direction as well. Good Luck.

TA24778 iPad - dropouts when streaming music via blue tooth to sound devices (Boom Box etc.).

Hello,
I use my iPad as a central music store.
But -when trying to stream music via Blue Tooth I get dropouts all the time.
It doesn't matter how far away I am, or where I'm using it. It gets a bit better when deactivating the BT Keyboard (yes, shame on me, I'm using the old style way to hack text into the Pad...), but I still get dropouts.
I checked everything, batteries are fully loaded, dis- and reconnect several times, reboot, etc.
On my devices (Logitech adapter for my home-hi-fi, Soundbric) I get the same result.
Any Ideas?
(Sorry - I can only choose "Using iPhone" as category, although I chose iPad first... Do I need to understand this?)

I'm not sure what you mean by "mixed with audio in Alsamixer". Can you clarify?
With that said, my problem did mysteriously fix itself after some update (presumably to alsa). Unfortunately, I noticed it in passing one day while I was changing the volume of something in pavucontrol, so I don't remember the exact update that caused it to work. But yes, my current setup does work now: I can listen to audio through my DAC and use the Yeti for recording. However, I have found that use of the Yeti crashes Google Hangouts, although it works perfectly in every other program I've tried.
As documentation, here is my current working setup (it is very similar to the above): in PulseAudio, the DAC is set to be a Digital Stereo (IEC958) output. The Yeti (called an 'Integrated Rate Matching Hub' in pavucontrol) is set to be an Analog Stereo Input. In the input devices section, I have the Yeti's volume set to around 58% (-14.31 dB), which is past the base volume a fair ways but produces decent levels for recording. The DAC's volume is set to 100% (0dB gain, the DAC takes care of the level). In alsamixer, I have the mic level for the Yeti set to 40.
Edit: This is a long-time-later edit, but let me say that when you have multiple USB audio devices, what USB hub and in what order they are connected seems to matter a great deal. If you can't get your Blue Yeti to work, try moving it to a different set of USB ports (controlled by a different controller) on your motherboard. This magically fixes the issue for me.

HT4628 Intermittent reception when streaming music via Airport Extreme and Airport Express to powered speakers. Is this a problem with the Extreme?

i get intermittent reception when I stream music from I Tunes via Airport Extreme and Airport Express to powered speakers. I Tunes continues to play uninterupted on the Mac. The problem does not lie with the Express as it occurs on both of my 2 Express at the same time. is this a problem with the Extreme?

Very slow Mac when streaming music to Airport Express

I'm getting massive slow down on my Mac while streaming music to my stereo using my Airport Express (802.11n). The mouse is choppily moving around the screen, etc. The Airport Express is streaming through a D-Link wireless G router to my Mac which is connected to the D-Link network.
Has anyone experienced slow-downs like this? Could it be the channel my D-Link is on? Would changing the channel fix this?
Thanks

I'm actually using 10.5.8 on my computer. But I'm going to install Snow Leopard (with that combo update also) and I'll let you know if it works.
Here's a screenshot of Activity Viewer showing the dropout.

Apple TV lags/cuts when streaming music through AirPlay

The sensation of putting on your favourite song and having to stop the digging because of the connection (i guess) between my ATV and my MacBook Pro cuts every 10th second.
Streaming video is no issue.
Im currently streaming music from Spotify and cant get my head around this. Using my iPad works flawlessly.
I got a MacBook Pro 13" Retina and a 3rd gen ATV, no probs with my network. All latest updates.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    1.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    2.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    3.    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    4.    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
    5.    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

HT6154 Need help!! Got a new phone, was able to download info from the old phone and set up iCloud but now i want to use the old phone as an 'iPod' just for music, when i get into iTunes it now says the old phone is in restoration mode and to restore iPho

Do I restore the old phone? What should I do?

it now says the old phone is in restoration mode and to restore iPhone.
Hmmm...
That's a doozy. I'll have to think on that for a bit.
Quite perplexing indeed. A quandary you could say.
Not really sure what you could try...
Have you tried anything yet?

Switching from library to streaming music?

I just finished my program and I have two versions saved. The
program attaches the music file to an mc and all is hunky dory. The
first file doesn't have the music files in it's library, so they
obviously don't play, but everything else works and its about 600
kb. The second file has the two files in the library and they play
normally, but the program is over 11 megs, and my host max is
something like 10mb. I don't have software to reduce bit quality
and when I tried to do so in flash the program size shot up to 255
mb and glitched madly.
Instead of reducing file size I get the impression it is more
expedient to host the two files somewhere, and stream them, except
I don't know how to do this. If it helps, I can post the current
code I have in the music section of my program.

try using file/save and compact to see if your file size can
get under your limit.
