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

    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:

    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.

  • 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.

  • Problem with playing music as the alarm

    OK ladies and gents - if someone can help me I'll be much greatful!
    So we've tried a whole bunch of stuff already and it could be that the **** iPod has a glitch. We shall see...
    So we have no problem getting the alarm to work, we can even get it to play music but it'll only play the first track in the song listing or the last track played. This would be ok but if I want to go to sleep listening to one thing and wake up to another it's not all that helpful!
    We've set up on-the-go playlists and iTunes playlists and they don't work any differently.
    We were using third-party software which we thought might have been messing with it, so we formatted it and ungraded the firmware and still having problems.
    We've tried the trick of turning the alarm off and on after reselecting the playlist.
    Who's the man?
    Thanks
    PC   Windows XP  

    Yes sorry I didn't explain very clearly.
    We want to play music as the alarm. But each time we set it it goes off with the first track listed in the complete songlist, rather than the first song in the selected playlist.
    As listed above are all the things I've done to try to resolve it, but they haven't worked.
    Maybe the iPod is defective, I can't say until I cover all the bases.
    Thanks for the help!

  • I cannot charge my iPhone 6 plus and play music at the same time

    Yes.

  • Why does my mac have to lockdown before playing music through the headset?

    My mac has started to do this new thing, where it will not play play music through the headset i connected, until I lock the macbook down, and start it up again, with the headset plugged in.. I can change the volume while the headset is plugged in, and i didnt lock the mac down, but it just plays through the speakers. I dont know what to do?

    See if SMC and PRAM resets solve the problem:

  • Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

  • How can I play music on the apple tv from itunes?

    Hi! two months ago I was able to play music on the apple tv, but today I can not. Some one knows why?
    I can not find the option to share to the apple tv. 

    Hi,
    When I say that I'm not able to play music in the Apple TV is because I can not more find the option in ITunes, I remember that two months ago I was able to share the music and hear it in the TV but maybe I forgot the way to do that or may be change it, I don't know. If  I remember, I just made click for example in a song and there was the option to share to Apple TV but jet is no more the option.
    I don't have a MAC, my computer is VAIO and didn't change it.
    I already set the Home sharing on ITunes and Apple TV.

  • My iPod shuffle could be seen on iTunes, but it cannot be charged and don't play music. The battery light do not flash at all.

    Like what I mentioned, the iPod do not work, it won't play music and the battery light do not flash.
    But it shows in iTunes, and I could sync music into it.
    I tried to reset all the settings of the iPod, and installed all the new software, but it does not work.
    I don't know if it works before, my friend left it to me. I erased all the data she used before and syncronized all my music inside.
    But it just never worked in my hand...
    I really appreciate all feedbacks! Thanks and please answer this question if you have the similar situation!!

    Are you using the USB docking cable that came with the iPod?  There are separate contact points for power and data, so it is possible for the cable to connect for data, but not for power.  Some third-party replacement cables may be of lower quality, if you do not have the original cable
    However, it seems to be getting power, since the shuffle is operating when connected and you are able to sync when it is connected.  So I think your USB docking cable is working.
    That leaves a problem with the USB port or a problem on the shuffle.
    For the USB port, it may not be supplying sufficient power to charge the battery.  As a test, you should shut down (power off) the computer and disconnect all USB devices, including hub, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).  If the Mac is a laptop, connect its power adapter (so that it's not running on battery power).  Do this to reset the shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
    Start up the Mac, run iTunes, and connect the shuffle to a direct USB port on the Mac.  Any difference...?
    If that does not help, it may be a problem with the shuffle, such as a worn out battery. 

  • My Classic IPod had been working perfectly with Windows Vista OS and on a dock. I left it unattended for 10 days, recharged it and tried to play music on the dock. All that shows on the screen is the Apple Logo and I am unable to restart or update the IPo

  • Tried to connect my ipod to TV through USB. Can play music but the TV cant detect video files

    Hi. I have an ipod nano 4th generation. I am obsessed with Doctor Who but unfortunately I do not have BBc America. I watch from itunes on my PC. I would like to sync the shows on the ipod and watch on TV. I am aware i can purchase apple's A/V cable, but i have found that my TV also has a USB port. I plugged in my ipod and four menus came up, "video" "pictures" "music" and "settings". I can play music but the Tv wont find the video files on the ipod.
    Thanks!!!!

    iTunes Match on your computer can give you the same higher quality files. 
    Run iTunes on your computer.  Show your music library by Song in list view.  Add the columns for Bit Rate, Kind, and iCloud Status to the list view.
    Any song that is shown as Matched for iCloud Status, that is NOT already 256 kbps (or higher) for Bit Rate can be downloaded from iCloud at 256 kbps AAC.  For example, if you have an old album from a music CD that you ripped years ago at 128 kbps MP3, and it is "matched" by iTunes Match, you can replace the lower quality files you have now with 256 kbps Match AAC audio file (which is shown for Kind).
    To do so, select the song, or a set of songs, on the library list.  Press Delete.  Confirm you want to delete the song (but do NOT check the box to delete song from iCloud) and choose to move song file to the Trash.  The songs remain on your iTunes library list, with a "cloud" download button next to the song name. 
    Click that button to download the song from iCloud.  Because the song is Matched, you get the replacement as a 256 kbps AAC audio file, instead of the original 128 kbps MP3 file (or whatever lower quality format it was before).
    You can go through your iTunes music library, and replace lower quality Matched songs with higher quality versions, thanks to iTunes Match.
