Sometimes the "Now Playing" tab disappears

Can anybody else confirm this happens to them while playing music? You know the "Now Playing" tab on the top right? Sometimes when navigating the iPod, it isn't there when it should be.
Just wanna make sure.
Thanks.

"Now Playing" tab during music sometimes is not there

This might be a 3.0 update bug so that's why I can ask it here.
Can anybody else confirm this happens to them while playing music? You know the "Now Playing" tab on the top right? Sometimes when navigating the iPod, it isn't there when it should be.
When I go from the Now Playing screen (with album art) back to Artists, the tab is sometimes not there.
Just wanna make sure.

So this is on an iPhone?
You should post in the correct forum here -> Forum : iPhone 3GS

The 'now playing' feature has gone from my music app on the iphone 6 after the ios 8.3 update. When i go to continue listening to music after a break it does not allow me to continue where i left of as the 'now playing' feature has gone

I have an iphone 6 ios 8.3, the 'now playing' function seems to have disappeared from my music app so if I listen to an album halfway through then take a break when I go back later the 'now playing' feature is not there and it returns me to the artist page. Can anyone help? its the first time I've had this issue.

That is correct.
That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period

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

The Now Playing screen provides playback controls and shows you what’s playing.

I don't see an option to add it to an existing playlist.

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.

Clicking on the Now Playing does not open in a new window

When you click on the artwork in the Now Playing fieild in the lower left corner, a window should pop up that displays the artwork. Mousing over it shows the controls. When I click on it, it shows a new window is open on my taskbar, but it doesn't display on my desktop. Does anyone have a solution to my problem. I have iTunes 10.6.1.7

The Template .dwt file is only used locally by DW itself, there's no reason to upload it to the server unless you intend to share it with someone. You have to upload each individual page that the Template updates, every time you update the template and propagate that change across the child pages.
It would probably be better to use a server side include. That way, you could update one file then upload it and all of your pages would automatically carry that update...

How can I see the "Now Playing" music screen in horizontal mode on my iPhone 6 plus?

The iPhone 6 plus is too tall to stand up on my elliptical trainer but when I rotate it to horizontal mode, the music app's "Now Playing" screen turns into that song icon screen. Is there some way to make it show a horizontal version of the "Now Playing" screen?

Go to the app store and search using the term YouTube. You should see a number of apps that will give you access to it.

Creative Zen Sleek and the Now Playing-part of the firmw

Hi,
this week I got my Creative Zen Sleek. I'm very satisfied, except for one thing - the Now Playing-part of the firmware (the list with all the songs queued up). In the old Nomad Jukebox Zen firmware, the list was divided by artist or album name. On the Zen Sleek, however, the list is just going on without even showing which songs belonging to which album etc.
This is really annoying me - would it be possible to fix this, or at least consider the possibility for this to be integrated in the next firmware upgrade?
Sincerely
Hein Haraldson Berg

& Putting the X-Fi into Recovery Mode and selecting clean up seemed to fix the problem, but it does still come up randomly.
The clean up puts the player menus back to their defaults though... any chance that in a future fix for the player, this wouldn't occur?

Removing the "Now Playing" sign when the click wheel is moved...

Is there anyway to disable the "Now Playing" sign from appearing when the click wheel is moved?
... I like to use my ipod (20 gig 4G) as a watch when i'm walking home at night. I have the clock display setting on so that the time will be displayed on the top of the screen. My problem, however, is that when I move the wheel to turn on the light, the displayed message changes from the time (which I want to see) to the phrase "Now Playing" (which I have no use for).

If you select the clock from the "Extras" menu, you'll get a large digital clock on the screen which will stay there until you remove it. This might be more fitting for the purpose you describe?

Problem with the "now playing"-function after timer sleep-mode

At first: sorry for my english.
I have the following problem with the Nano 6G: I set the timer of my iPod Nano to shut it down after a while of playing. When I turn it back on afterwards, the now-playing-button does not show the song that it played at last. Instead of that the nano is automatically set to shuffle mode which was not activated before and the now-playing-button will show any other song randomly.
This does not happen when I switch it to sleep-mode with the button on the top, only when the sleepmode ist activated by the timer.
Does anyone notice the same issue with his nano? How can I bring my nano to play the same song after the sleepmode, that it played before?

Hey Ipaqman, that strange behavior of the Nano 6G annoys me for exactly the same reason: audiobook in bed + sleeptimer = losing the place. As You say, the 5G works better with that and I also hope that Apple takes notice of that issue and will solve it.
Until that I got myself a "workaround". I create a new playlist on the device, with just the single audiobook in it, that is actually in use. This helps me finding back into it, as long as "now playing" will not work correctly with the sleeptimer.

Podcast now playing tab doesn't work in iPad?

Nothing happens when I click on now . Anyone else having this problem?

The "Now Playing" button in the Music media browser intermittently fails to take me to the "Now Playing" screen.
I've noticed that if I hit the "Now Playing" button multiple times when it is unresponsive, then when I do manage to get to the "Now Playing" screen, I have to press the "Back" button multiple times before I can get back to the Music media browser.
This suggests that although the "Now Playing" button seems unresponsive during the bug's behaviour, it is actually instantiating multiple "Now Playing" screens that must all be cleared before navigating back to the media browser.
I am running iOS 5.1 on an iPhone 3GS.

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!

Hover curser over song and there's no arrow for options to add the song to a playlist, the song has to be played for the arrow to appear, which is then at the now playing part in the middle at the top of the screen

The little arrow which says "Play Next, Add to Up Next, Go to artist" etc. only appears at the top of the screen on the now playing part. On 11.2 on my laptop before it got refurbished, this arrow appeared when you hover the curser over the name of a song.
Bit annoying having to change the song everytime I want to add it to a playist etc. Is there any way I can make this arrow appear again by just hovering over the song name?
Thanks.

Pictures in the "now playing" window

how do you add album cover art to the "now playing" window. if i drag an image from amazon or somewhere else the image is tiny. any help?

Several applications and scripts are available to get larger size pictures.
To name a few:
iTunescool, Find Album Artwork with Google, Corripio, Clutter
You can find more on versiontracker.com.
I've been using Corripio recently. Although it's still in beta (recent version is 0.4.5) it does a decent job in finding large pictures of popular artists.
Tick the 'Prompt me to approve artwork' checkbox in Preferences>General.
Otherwise you may get unwanted pictures in your tunes.
Hope this helps.

Scrolling of Track Info in the "Now Playing" View

In the Now Playing view, song title scrolls by when longer than the screen width. However, artist doesn't. Is there a way (setting) to make it scroll? Many of my tracks have multiple artists and therefore longer than the screen width.

This is not currently possible.
