Streaming radio doesn't play in bayckground

I have the app radio.com on both iPad and iPhone. On the iPhone the streaming audio continues to play when I switch apps. But on the iPad it stops playing when I go to another app. How do I get the iPad to do what the iPhone does and continue to play?

As long as you have updated to the latest iOS, it should work the same way your iphone works. THe earlier ipad iOS versions did not support multitasking but the newer ones do. Current version is 4.3.1.
If your iOS is current:
1) Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
2) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
If you have tried both 1 & 2 above, next thing I'd try is call Apple support at this link: http://www.apple.com/support/expert/
Or you can take it to an Apple store to see an expert.

  • I tunes radio doesn't play selected stations ?

    radio keeps jumping  to alternative  station than that selected - how can i play station i selected ?

    I haven't had this problem but I have had a similar problem where it doesn't play but keeps skipping songs.  Try restarting iTunes (actually closing it instead of hiding it in the dock) and if that doesn't work sign out of the iTunes Store and Sign back in.  That resolves most of my iTunes online issues.

  • ITunes Radio doesn't play

    I have never been able to get any of my radio stations to play through iTunes?
    I will click on a station and receive a message saying "getting playlist" but then nothing. I am working at work behind a firewall so I was wondering if that had anything to do with it. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas why this is happening. Thanks.

    Hi KungFusion,
    I tried playing several streams from the posted website, and all 'wanted' to be played within Safari using a Windows Media Player plug-in. I could not get them to play in iTunes. It may be that you will have to download and use Windows Media Player for Mac. If you want to hear them thru Airport and the Airport Express, you will need to use an application called Airfoil http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/airfoil.html. Hope this is helpful.

  • Itunes radio doesn't play whole song

    Hi,
    I'm new to iTunes, so if this is a stupid question please excuse me.
    I'm using iTunes radio and I"m noticing that many of the songs are not being played completely. Is this normal?
    Thanks,
    James

  • Radio doesn't play correctly

    I have windows 8.1, a minimum of 17gps internet speed, the latest version of iTunes, and more than enough RAM but when I try to play the radio on my PC it will skip every so often.  It is very annoying and makes for a bad listening experience.  I've tried clearing temp files, closing out of all webpages, restarting iTunes and the computer.  Please help.

    Good Job Apple
    the radio problem was gone in the last 5.?? version but with the new 6.0 you brought it back. Congrats for that and for the tones of answers I got from your support. Maybe you could improve that before you release the next ipod or anything

  • Fm radio doesn't play

    For my iPod Nano 5th generation, the FM tuner will not play any more.
         --> I can select the tuner
         --> When I turn the volume wheel, I do hear the clicks ==> I just don't hear the music
         --> Changing the station doesn't help
    (Yes, headphones are plugged in. Without headphones, I still get the menu display that informs me that the headphones are the required FM tuner antenna)
    I also did a complete factory reset through iTunes and this still didn't solve the problem.
    Has anyone else heard of this issue before?
    Thanks!

    For anyone following, I looked further into the tape cassette adapter and it seems to get the best reviews vs. FM transmitter.  Guess there is a good reason that I have the last year model with a tape cassette.  Worth mentioning is the Maxell one gets a better review than the Monter one.  Not sure why, but it's cheaper. Anyone else find a good quality tape cassette adapter?

  • ITunes radio doesn't play songs by artists added to any of my stations

    This is a clarification of an earlier question.
    So you can create a station with a "seed" which can be an artist, song or genre. Once itunes creates that station you can modify the station with the available "more like this", or "Never again" buttons, but there is also an option in the desktop version below the stations  where you are offered a "play more like this" > "Add artist, song or genre" and itunes is happy to let you fill in any artist and it shows you possible matches from which you can select. That artist is then shown below your original seed in a list for that station. However, itunes has never played any songs by any of the artists I've added to the station via this method even though they are there in plain site as "seeds" for this station. I always have to create a whole new station with the desired artists to get any songs by them. I've had these new artists seeded/listed for months without any songs played by them on the station. Why create this option if it is never functional? What am I missing?

    just for clarification this is about Itunes radio and the stations you can create in it.

  • Itunes radio doesn't play anymore

    I can log-on  and acess my stations, but when I click the play button it just seems to freeze at loading, and I just get a 'candy-cane' striped bar underneath the song title. Any help?

  • "Stubru" doesn't play in rhythmbox

    Hello,
    Recently I installed gnome 3.8 and rhythmbox. I can play my entire music library without a problem and also the predefined shoutcast streams work fine. I would however like to listen to "Studio Brussel", a belgian radiostation. They offer a stream: http://mp3.streampower.be/stubru-high.mp3 . When I try to play it in rhythmbox, nothing happens. No error but also no music. I can play the stream using mplayer without a problem. When I try to play the stream on a ubuntu 13.04 installation on the same machine (dualboot) it also fails.
    The archlinux wiki page on rhythmbox advises to a.) install gstreamer0.10-base-plugins-gnomevfs, which seems obsolete now as rhythmbox uses gstreamer1 now (right?) and b.) to install the grilo and grilo-plugins packages, which I did. The stream still doesn't play. Also, it seems te me this is more to be able to browse streams (instead of play them). The stream also fails when I try to open it in totem. I would therefore suspect a problem with gstreamer, but do not know how to investigate this further.
    Now, I would like to know if anybody else can play this stream (which makes it a problem with my particular installation) and if it is a gstreamer problem, how I can investigate it further.
    Regards,
    Rolf
    PS Most other streams I try to add also won't play (but some will!). I haven't found out what is common in the streams that will or will not play. The streams that do play are ogg streams and not mp3

    Nevermind. Seems to be some upstream bug. Will just have to wait until it lands in arch I suppose. See also these Ubuntu 13.04 bug/question:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1153934
    http://askubuntu.com/questions/286659/r … untu-13-04
    [edit] In the mean time you can do killall gvfsd-http to play streams

  • Playing mp3 stream works well in Emulator but doesn't play on Device

    I'm facing this problem. I'm using flex && actionscript to play an mp3 stream on the phone.
    Code works great and the sound is played when the app is run in the flash builder emulator.

    Okay.. First a big thanks!!
    I've resolved the path issues and am now experimenting with formats other than SCORM that will hopefully launch off our LMS (SyberWorks).
    I think I know what a cross domain issue is... it seems pretty self evident, (ie) .htm/.swf files live on a different server domain than video or audio files.
    I think all my files are on the same domain in the zip file. However, are the following paths also an example of a cross domain issue?:
    Z:\orgs\ogslp\courses\2012videotest\videotestinternalsrvr\videotestinternalsrvr.htm
    (this is where I upload, or publish Captivate files)
    http://gslcampus/ogslp/courses/2012videotest/videotestinternalsrvr/videotestinternalsrvr.h tm
    (this is where clients access the training modules via IE & the Syberworks LMS, intranet)
    One more..... when publishing with the Captivate > Internal Server option what path do I input to access the server?
    Z:\orgs\ogslp\courses\2012videotest\videotestinternalsrvr\videotestinternalsrvr.htm
    (backdoor for uploading files)
    or
    http://gslcampus/ogslp/courses/2012videotest/videotestinternalsrvr/videotestinternalsrvr.h tm
    (actual internal, intranet url for accessing courses)
    PS when I upload files the following appears before the Z:
    Computer > SyberWorks (\\sousa)(Z:)
    Any advice would be appreciated - thanks for your time.

  • Why does my Mac not play this streaming radio station

    Hi all.
    I have no trouble listening online to streaming radio at this site:
    www.6ix.com.au/streaming/stream.htm
    Yet when I try to listen to another online station, CurtinFM Radio found at:
    www,curtinfm.com.au/listen-now.html
    The 'connection' window comes up but when I try to connect I am advised that something or other is not supported.
    Both stations utilize Quicktime to play, and as far as I can tell I am up to date with Quicktime updates.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi there.
    That was quick!
    Yes I do have FlipMac installed and again, I think that it is up to date. By default both stations open in Quicktime. I think that I have fiddle with FlipMac in the past without results in this regard, so at the moment I seek guidance as I am stuck. More advice in FlipMac I will also try.
    P.S. I am at the present listening to 1080AM radio on my Windows machine <:-{
    Mind you, this IS my kind of music. Geeze, I hope this does not date me.
    Regards

  • Play streaming radio

    Hi, it's my first post. I have a problem with my audio player. The is this:
    import flash.media.Sound;
    import flash.media.SoundLoaderContext;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    var sound:Sound;
    var url:URLRequest=new URLRequest("http://91.121.142.100:8008/;");
    sound = new Sound();
    var context:SoundLoaderContext=new SoundLoaderContext(0,false);
    sound.load(url,context);
    sound.play();
    It load with URLRequest a streaming radio and play it. It's working good with some radio but not with that i load. The sound is playing at intervals. Anyone know why? The sound is streaming at 128kbps in stereo mode 44100.
    Please help me and sorry for my bad english.

    I hope you get an answer to this issue, because I have had the very same problem...
    The best that I can offer, is make sure that you have permission to use the audio stream, by way of a 'Cross Domain Policy XML File'.
    For an example of one, check out twitters: http://twitter.com/crossdomain.xml
    You can see what it does, more of less says who can take information from their website.
    The flash player first checks for this file, then if it sees that it has been granted access to use content from their, then it does.
    for more info,
    when I had this issue, I was not in control of the server hosting the  radio and could not get across domain file onto that server.
    Hope this helps,...

  • How to turn streaming radio off

    I am having turning streaming radio or Pandora off when using OS4. The stream doesn't go off when switching to another app. I can't see an on/off button in the radio or Pandora app. I like using multple apps but would like to turn off the stream.

    The app has a play/pause button that will stop it. If it's in the background, you can double click the home button and scroll left to get to the audio controls.

  • Hi guys,my iphon 4 doesn't play most of the

    Hi guys!
    My iphone 4 doesn't play most of the music what are in the music library on the pc,what is syncronized by iTunes.this problem came with iOS 5.,but previously the phone had different other issues,so it has never worked as it promised by Apple.I have tryed every solution what I saw on the communiti forums,but nothing works permanently,the solutions are only temporary.I went many times to the Apple store to fix the problems but they could not solve the problems.They gave me a replacement handset,which solved the fast battery drain issue,so the hardware seems OK!!!! To be an iphone owner is a struggeling, I always recive different bugs from Apple,like other iphone users.This behaving made the Apple different fom the others,as they wanted.Job done! That is why I ended up at Nokia N8,because it plays every single tune what are in same music library what used by iTunes, no lugs,no skips, no mess up,it has FM radio,free sat-nav,12Mp brilliant camera,working bluethoot,no need online connection for everithing! I find the solution for the iphone problems,this way my iphone turned to a secondary phone,I will use as an emergency phone ,this is not a smartphone!

    Got it replaced last week. Turns out the dock was defective.
