Screen Saver of covers during music play

Is there any way of blanking the screen when playing music through apple TV instead of having the Album cover twisting about all the time?
Regards

You can turn off the screensaver, however you can't have a blank screen. The only thing is, if you are connected to speakers via optical, then you can turn the TV off.

Should Touch Screen Stay On During Music Play ??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just happened to notice this morning on the drive into work that my iPod Touch screen never turned off during the entire time I was listening to music ( approx. 20 minutes ). Approximately one minute into the music the screen dimmed significently, but once it dimmed it never went completely off like my iPod 5.5 does. I have auto-brightness off ( I tired it with this setting set to on... does the same thing ). My lock-out time is set to 1 minute and my Wi-Fi can be on or off, making no difference.
I've never noticed this before, and the only thing I've changed was to install a Best Skin Ever cover ( front and back ) yesterday. I have noticed that the screen sensitivety is no longer as sensitive to the touch as it was without the BSE, especially when using Safari. I'm wondering if the skin could be causing the screen not to turn off ( if in fact that is not normal).
Is this normal?

Hmmm. I have the auto-lock set for 1 minute, and mine dims after about 30-45 seconds, then shuts off after a minute. And the music continues to play. Until you find a solution, note that you can always press the top button to turn it off, and the music will continue to play. And pressing the Home button twice will always bring up the music controls.

Screen rotation during music play back -- very annoying!

I hate that the screen rotates when playing music. I have an arm band holster (Griffin), and when I lift my arm to use the touch screen for commands, it rotates into album shuffle mode. Very annoying!
I'm trying to do something with the device and it goes into some kind of album choosing mode -- when I'm already more than happy with the play list I've created!
Would be very nice to be able to cancel that feature.
Why only album shuffle too? Why not play list shuffle? That's how I listen.

It doesn't appear if you tap the screen/artwork while the audiobook is playing?

Screen Saver Turning On During Backup

I am a professional photographer and have huge files on my computer. I am trying to back it up and it is taking a very long time. I am trying to go to sleep, and let it back up as I sleep, however, the screen saver keeps turning on. I went into system prefrences and changed the proper settings so that it does not sleep but it continues to go on (the screen saver) ... I am curious if the back up still continues while the screen saver is on? I need to sleep and need it to continue while I sleep please help!! I am on time crunch...
(to be clear, I am leaving my computer for long amounts of time and this is when the screen saver turns on... it is not instant... )

Yes, it will still back up when the Screen Saver is on...

Nokia 6233 & back light during music play

Hi,
When ever I am listening to the music on my mobile, the screen light remains on & the battery is almost finished after about an hour. How can I stop the screen backlight while listening to the music?

Hi,
the version I have is 3.7 of 15-05-06 RM-145.
Also in the topic /discussions/board/message?board.id=phones&message.id=9453&query.id=15297#M9453
it says:
To record a conversation whilst in a call, you need to just choose 'options' and then 'record'.
Also to use the 'voice memo recorder' press the button on the top left hand side of the phone and click 'record'
But it doesn't work on my phone. I get the Push to Talk option.

My speaker went off during music playing

My 5c speaker went off last night while playing music. This morning it was back on. There was a pop sound when it went off. It wasn't plugged in for charging or transfer. Just laying on nightstand. The volume was very low. Anyone else experienced this? Do I need to exchange it?

I am having the same problem.

Crashes during music play

ONLY after installing Gingerbread, I can be listening to music with any music app (including the default one built-in) and the phone will randomly shut off in the middle of a song, any songs. I had a CLNR sent to me and the same thing occurred the same day. I have seen some people reporting the same issue online but not in the Verizon Community forums. Has anyone else had this issue or know what the cause is?

I'm having a very similar issue except that it's not related to my SD card, and I'm desperate to find a solution. This phone used to be like my best friend, but every since the Gingerbread "upgrade," I spend an increasing amount of time fighting the temptation to throw it in the trash. I've been waiting for the Bionic for almost a year and I'm hoping to either find an answer before then since I feel like I just can't take this for another month even if it is released in August.
My crashes aren't occasional. I've had them happen as often as 18 times per day, and always when I'm listening to audio,and it's not related to the application. It happens with the stock player, Audible, TuneIn, and Pandora. The phone just suddenly shuts down and it's often next to impossible to get it to restart. I've cleared the system cache and removed almost every app that insists on running in the background, other than Lookout and the stupid stuff Verizon doesn't let you remove.
I'd be very grateful for any help. Audio is about 70% of what I use the phone for since I listen to streaming radio all day at work. I'd be willing to do a factory reset and go through the irritation of reinstalling and reconfiguring all my apps if I could find any evidence that would resolve the problem, but all the posts I've seen from people who have tried that say it didn't make any difference

IMac to Apple TV 2nd gen music distortion with screen saver on.

I have an ATV2, mid 2010 iMac dual core i3, Airport Extreme 3rd generation router.
After Wednesday's update to Apple TV to implement the new user interface, I get distorted playback when initiating music playback from iTunes on the iMac as soon as the screen saver starts. It sounds like the old vinyl records when the needle skips. It isn't, oddly enough, timed with the screen changes. It occurs at ever increasing frequency, from 24 to 19 to 16 seconds.
If however, you access the iMac through the Apple TV interface, the screen saver start up does not create any interference. It doesn't matter whether the music is started using the Apple remote control or the iPhone 4S interface. Both work fine.
So it's a one way situation. When you start playing music from iTunes on the iMac, interference and distortion start with the screen saver, but if you start playing music from the Apple TV, there is no distortion or interference from the screen saver.
Any one else have this problem and a solution?

Based on an Apple Care suggestion, the solution to this problem is to reset the Apple TV completely. This is under Settings- General- Reset-Restore.
Restore will erase previous versions of the Apple TV software and will download and install a current clean version. You do have to re-enter all your configuration settings, such as wireless network password and your iTunes Account.
A little bit time consuming but it eliminated the problem.

How to blank screen during music usage with Apple TV.

How do a select a blank screen as a screen saver when listening to music. I would like to save energy and minimize tv screen usage. I don't want to show pictures or anything. My screen is currently on all day as I listen to music. Any adjustments with my Samsung tv during Apple TV stops Apple TV. I have an Apple TV 3.

Like I said, the Tv would need to be on unless connected via optical, that is not software related. Not a lot of energy would be saved by having a blank screen. The majority do use the screensaver to showcase their pictures and there wouldn't be a lot of call for having a blank screen.

Apple TV 2 screen saver during mixed audio video playlists

With the Apple TV 2nd gen, at some point after an upgrade, the behavior of the screen saver during playing a mixed audio video playlist changed. It used to be that while songs were playing the screen saver would start, and then as soon as a video item was encountered in the playlist, the screen saver would stop and the video would play. Now the video doesn't play and instead you just get the audio. Pressing menu interrupts the screen saver and then the video plays. What changed? And I want it back to the old functionality.

Same here. It's just started doing this during NetFlix.
Turned screen saver off now...

Screen lights up, music plays, but screen is blank

I have just recently sent in my first ipod mini to the Apple repair service. They sent me a replacement ipod. The replacement worked fine for a while but is now acting up.
The screen lights up, and the music plays just fine, but the screen is blank.
I have tried to plug the ipod into my computer - itunes does recognize it and updates it.
I have also tried to reset and restore the ipod, but to no avail.
I have contacted Apple repair services again, but they want me to send in the proof of purchase...but this is the replacement ipod that they had sent me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Just try filling out the online form...
http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod
If the bother to call and ask for the proof of purchase through that, then just say that it is an exchanged iPod.
See when they say this one was purchased. Go to the link below and on the right a few scrolls down the page there is an about your apple product box. Enter your Serial Number. If it is under a year there, you need not send anything in...

N8 screen saver not working.

so i noticed this yesterday, when i lock my phone the screen does not go black. no matter what the screen saver option is on ( music player, big clock or even notying) phone gets locked but the screen is on. feel like a hard reset needs to happen soon
anyone else had a problem like this?
Nokia N80
Nokia N82
Nokia N97
Nokia N8 Dark Gray- RM-596
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Regarding the SCREENSAVER FAILURE problem, I have a PERFECT solution!!!
However, I am not sure if this will work for you, because I have SPB Mobile Shell, but it is worth a try!
1) Make sure you have the widget for the MUSIC PLAYER on one of your main operating page.
2) Turn OFF your phone regularly. (NO NEED to hard rest by hold over 8 secs)
3) Turn ON your phone.
4) Once the phone loaded up, immediate play any song through your music player before the phone auto-locks.
5) Lock your phone with your side-lock button; your screensaver should come back.
Both my g/f & I owns a Nokia N8, and we both experienced the screensaver failure problem. My N8 was easy to fix by many people's solution of just simply reset, and it automatically fixed the problem. But My g/f's N8 was stubborn, and wouldn't turn the screensaver back on by this simple reset method. Later I discovered the above method, and it worked every time! I think somehow the music player is triggering the screensaver and forces it to stay on.
Well, although we somehow surpass this issue, but Nokia still need to fix this problem. Nokia N8 is a great phone, it shouldn't have such a simple mistake in it. This makes the perfect phone imperfect!!! Anyway, please let me know if this method works for you guys, thanks.

Quick way of disabling the Screen Saver

Hi - is there any way of quickly disabling the screen saver when giving a presentation.
I know about using a corner on the screen but that means the mouse has to be kept there and using it to scroll through the presentation may mean the screen saver becomes active if you move it out of the corner by mistake.
Thanks

There's really no need to disable it; the screen saver won't activate while playing a presentation in Keynote.

Freeze during screen saver

Gang,
I recently migrated from a G4/733 running OS 10.2.9 to a 1.9 iMac G5 running 10.3.4. This new machine sometimes freezes after the screen saver has been on for a few minutes. It's done it with the Cosmos and Nature Patterns sets. I don't think it has happened with the 2006 World Book set, but I haven't used that one for long.
I've had a handful of minor annoyances, but this one is worse because it causes me to have to shut the computer down using the power button.
I found this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=742697&#742697
The first post implied that this was a noted problem on earlier G5s, but I haven't found earlier references to it, and that thread was locked so it isn't clear to me whether it's been resolved.
Any news on this problem? I stopped using screen savers a long time ago when CRTs got to a certain refresh rate, but I think they're recommended for these LCDs--not sure. I don't want to risk screen burn-in, especially since I do leave it running for stretchs of time playing music in iTunes.
Any advice appreciated!

Hi, dennis.
I think the problem to which the archived (you noted locked) thread was referring is Power Mac G5 (Late 2004) 1.8GHz models stop responding randomly. That was specific to the Power Mac G5, not the iMac G5.
With LCDs, sleep or shutdown are preferred to screen savers for extended periods of inactivity. See "Screen Savers: Using With Liquid Crystal Displays." I'd recommend you set the Display Sleep to a short inactivity period, e.g. five minutes, in Energy Saver preferences vs. using the screen saver.
As to the specific problem you've noted, freezes and hangs often have causes similar to kernel panics: the basic troubleshooting and hardware testing steps would be the same. See my "Resolving Kernel Panics" FAQ.
As far as general iMac G5 troubleshooting goes:
1. The first thing I would suggest is ruling out potential hardware problems. Run the Apple Hardware Test that came with the computer. Instructions for doing so will be found in the hardcopy manual that accompanied your computer.
2. Check the diagnostic LEDs, a feature of your iMac G5. See "About the iMac G5 diagnostic LEDs."
3. If your iMac G5 will not turn on, see "iMac G5: Troubleshooting when your computer won't turn on."
4. See also the new iMac G5 Support site.
5. Check the iMac G5 Discussions for similar reports from other users.
6. As a general check, run the procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified. In your situation, I'd consider it a long shot, but it will determine if there are any issues with some "common troublemakers."
7. If the computer is either under warranty or covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, don't hesitate to take advantage of your warranty and contact AppleCare.
Good luck!
