Playing music while lid is closed.

While moving, I usually close the lid, but sometimes I want to listen to music on my headphones while doing that. However, the Macbook doesn't let me do that ... I know HPs do since the laptop model that crapped out on me 3 times let me do that.
Is it possible to do that on my Macbook?
Thanks,
deltatux

  • Can you play music with the laptop closed?

    Is there a way play music with the Laptop closed? I have a MacBook Pro w/Retina display.

    You'll either need to have a keyboard and monitor attached so you can wake the computer with the screen closed or use one of the third-party utilities that keeps the MBP from sleeping when you close the lid such as InsomniaX.
    Regards.

  • Playing music while running app

    After updating to 3.0 i am unable to listen to music while using certain apps. I used to be able to double tap the home button and the ipod controls would pop up and i could play music while using an app. Now with this crappy update, it brings me to the music section of my ipod and closes my app. I dont see why you would take this feature out, so i imagine its still possible to do this. Is there still a way to do this or did apple just feel like taking this feature out?

    Still works for me. I ran an App and then double clicked the home button and the iPod Touch displayed a small window for music controls on top of the App window. After that I hit Close and the window closed leaving the App intact.
    Lets see if you have your settings set as mine and take it from there. Go to *Settings - General - Home* and then see if there is a Check Mark on HOME under _Double Click the Home Button For:_. Also iPOD Controls are set to ON.

  • Hi, is it possible to play music while my iphone locked

    Hi, is it possible to play music while my iphone locked

    Yup. If it is enabled (and i believe it is by default) in the settings, double clicking the home button brings up the iPod controls which allow you to raise the volume, play a song, and more forward or backward a song. If the headphones are plugged in, clicking the center button on the headphones once can also play/pause a song while double clicking will move forward and triple clicking will move backward.

    My apple tv intermittently stops playing music while playing Songza.  network connection is strong.  i have upgraded to the latest appletv s/w
    what can i do to fix this?

    Strangely enough, I exchanged the ATV2 and ATV3 and now both work fine. I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that (previously) the ATV3 (1080p) was behind an ethernet hub. Somehow the ATV2 (720p) does not mind being behind the hub. Either that or iTunes suddenly became smarter since the exchange . Anyway, it works now so I'm not touching it. Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Play music while on the phone... but...

    Noticed that you can play your iPod music while on an iPhone call? How sweet is that? Play music while on a long rambling call, or hold.
    How? Simple: once you are on a call switch back to the iPod and hit play.
    BUT the music is so loud that you really can't hear your call.
    Has anyone found a way to independently adjust the volume of the iPod and iPhone? Pretty sure I know the answer to that.
    Sadly your caller cannot hear your music either. Why not? What a rad feature that would be, play music for you and your pal while on a call.
    Next release Apple?

    You can submit this feature at:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    However, I would not personally hold out much hope for its integration. I would personally find any music playing during my conversation more than a little annoying.

  • Will we ever be able to play music while recording in the camera app?

  • Can I play music while I'm using other apps?

    I believe that on my work iPad, I was able to play music while I used other apps, however, I seem to not be able to do so on my personal iPad. What do I need to do to be able to listen to music while I work?

    If the apps use sound - such as game apps, you will not be able to play Music while using this apps. If you are working in a Word Processing app or some other app that doesn't involve using sounds, you should be able to play music - using the iPad Music App.

  • Playing music while the the cover is closed....

    when i was listening to music, and put the macbook cover down, then the music stopped playing and my macbook went to sleep. If i would like to listen to music while remaining the cover putting down, what should i do???
    Thanks!

    Download InsomniaX and open it.
    You will now be able to close your lid with the macbook running still.
    I recommend pressing
    shift + ctrl + eject to sleep the screen + illuminated keyboard

  • Continued iTunes playback while lid is closed?

    Is there a way to have iTunes continue to play while the Macbook lid is closed. My speaker system is in my living room, and I'd like to have the computer closed and tucked away if possible while music is playing in the background.

    Hey 12Grain and welcome to the forum -
    Sounds like you want to get [InsomniaX 1.3.3|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/30315].
    Hope this helps -GDF

  • Using Airport Express to play music while surfing the web via netgear

    Can I play music over my airport express (airtunes), while simultaneosly surfing via a different wireless router. As it stands I have been unable to do this, because I have to set my wireless connection to one or the other. When I link up to my NETGEAR for browsing, the remote speakers in itunes become unavailable.
    Has anyone found a solution to this?

    Hi, thanks for your help. It got me reading, and here's what I figured out:
    The problem was when I originally set the profile I had my internet cable plugged into the airport express; So the set up assistant assumed that i would be using that as my internet connection. I just had to re-setup with the airport ONLY plugged into the stereo.
    Again, thanks for your help.

  • Any way to maintain airport traffic while lid is closed?

    I'm sort of new to dealing with apple computers and I might just totally be missing something but...
    I'm trying to get my new MBA to maintain airport traffic while the laptop is closed. So that way it can continue downloads while it's closed.
    Am I missing something or is this just not possible?

    Hi,
    I dont think it is possible to close the lid and continue to maintain the airport traffic because once you closed the lid, MBA will go to sleep and stop running all application.
    Cheers.

  • Creative Roar SR20A continuously prompts "TeraBass On/Off" When Playing Music While Charging

    I have noticed that when playing music for a while (over an hour or so) on the Roar while charging causes the speaker to prompt "Tera Bass On" and "Tera Bass Off" continuously every one or two seconds. This continues till I switch off the charging and then its functions normally. I believe this happens once the unit gets fully charged. Has somebody faced this issue??? Is there a fix for it??? This is an annoying bug in the firmware.
