Switching track while in other Apps

When I am working in another application such as PhotoShop or illustrator, can I change to the next iTunes track without going back into iTunes to do it. Can this be done?
David

Besides the tips macmenno gave you, you also have basic controls including next and previous track from the popup menu from the iTunes icon in the Dock. Another option is to get the free Konfabulator and then getting one of the iTunes widgets. If you eventually upgrade to Tiger, you could get an iTunes widget for Dashboard rather than relying on Konfabulator. There are also several free and shareware options listed on VersionTracker. Finally, if you are using Firefox, you can get the FoxyTunes extension to get complete control of iTunes from the status bar.

  • Can't play podcast while on other apps...iphone 6 plus

    Why can't I play downloaded podcasts while using other apps like facebook on my Iphone 6 Plus?

    Since New Years Eve, I have spent  nearly 15 hours with senior support advisors on this issue. Trust me, I've tried everything. Once it downloads on Apple TV all I get is AUDIO. The trailer will play fine, all the other apps on Apple TV play fine. The only thing I'm having trouble with is movies RENTED FROM ITUNES ON APPLE TV and MOVIES RENTED ON ANY IOS device. Not just mine, I've tried using my Apple ID on other people IOS devices but the movies download but won't start. I have one purchased movie that will play fine on any platform, but not rented movies.
    There are no error messages, all setting have need restored, reset, and reset again by THREE senior advosors. I don't know how to explain it any cleatee than
    this.. sorry to be short, but I don't see any Apple tech people making any type of effort to remedy the problem.

  • What app captures audio while running other apps simultaneously?

    Anyone know of an app that allows the user to pause and and start audio recording while running other apps simultaneously? An app with a widget residing in the corner of the sceen while the user navigates other apps on the ipad? Any solutions?

    Really? can't say I've ever needed that - besides, separate volume controls in every app is going to
    get unwieldy if you run a lot of apps.
    To be honest, it's really only needed for browsers like Safari. I'm surprised you've never needed it? Have you never been listening to iTunes while browsing, and come across some stoopid website that insists - uninvited - on assaulting your ears with some garbage or other? For example, some of the lyrics sites play some godawful rock video. I used Detour all the time.
    I've had a look at Wiretap, but tbh over $100 is one helluva price just to mute Safari (though probably worth it if you use all its features).
    Kappy, thanks for the suggestion, I will have a look at those two resources.

  • The app store keeps popping up (with an app to download) while using other apps. It is getting incredibly annoying. I am currently using the QR reader app. How do I get it to stop?

    you can try a soft reset, or u can try to turn it off and then back on. Or take it to the apple store and see what they say about it. Hope this helps

  • GPS Tracking program that continues to track while using other iPhone apps

    Does anyone know of a GPS tracking app for the iPhone 3G that will continue to track while listening to music or answering calls? The few apps I've tried quit logging when you change to another app.

    Thanks - hopefully Apple will address this soon. I'm not willing to hack/jailbreak my phone just to get this functionality.
    One last dig:
    This is the unfortunate reason that I've stayed away from Apple for so long. They make WOW stuff that is pretty and neat to use as long as you stay inside the "box" so to speak. I guess I'll have to take my old blackberry running with me - it can play music AND track your run with GPS. Who would want to do that?

    How can I listen to pandaro while exploring other apps

    I'm guessing you mean "Pandora". Launch Pandora. Start listening to music. Tap the Home button. Select whatever app you want to work with.

  • HT5642 want to play video while on safari while opening other apps!

    cant play youtube video while playing game or opening other apps, but last time can! why?

    Is your friends phone jailbroke? Also are you using the facebook app? If so then you need to ask the developer of the app what the problem is.

  • How to get of game ads on samsung galaxy s3 while using other apps?

    I tried to download bbm messenger on play store it wouldnt work and they said in order to do that you have to download 3 games and I did once I found out it was no good I un installed the apps and from then ive been getting a lot of ads of free games and its hard to use the Internet because of this and also other apps like instagram.

    hello, this is a support forum for the firefox browser. it sounds that you have downloaded a non-legit version of bbm that might be infested with adware and malware - however the issue you've raised doesn't seem related to firefox at all, so we cannot provide a solution for that...

  • Keeping Keynote Full Screen while Using Other Apps

    Hello,
    I searched around and wasn't able to find much of anything on this topic anywhere. I am looking to do Keynote presentations in full screen. While the presentation is in full screen I would like to use other applications on the display which I can see.
    I activated the preference to allow other things like Expose control the screen, but when I switch applications it takes Keynote out of full screen mode. Anybody have any ideas as to how to keep it in full screen mode while in a different application? Thanks.

    Depending on how you have your displays arranged, you might be able to use Dashboard on your presenter display while the presentation is running (you may need to use this technique to get that to work properly). However, as I understand it, applications do not come with the ability to float over Keynote by default, but must be explicitly written to do so. I therefore doubt that any off-the-shelf app will be useable directly in this way.

  • Running flash full screen while using other apps

    I run a 3 monitor setup on Win7x64.  I would like to watch shows, eg Hulu, while working on other stuff on the other monitors.  Any time I switch focus to another program though it drops back down into the browser.  Is there a way to keep it running full screen while working with other programs?

    Hi, here is a thread where it was discussed and the person that answered should know.

    You might take a look on the right hand side under "More like this" just to see what others have to say even tho there doesn't seem to be a solution to this.

    Enter YouTube Music in the App Store search field for an app that permits listening to YouTube music in the background. Music Tube Free is one. Also Pandora, Jango, iTunes Radio, and Tune In Radio permit playing music in the background whole on another app.

  • How can I keep windows in front while using other apps?

    I want to keep a Preview window in front of all windows while I work in photoshop, how can I do that? I know it is possible, because I saw an artist do it on youtube. He had his references opened up in Preview, while working photohsop, and the Preview window some how stays above the Photoshop window. I know I can just have them side by side by using photoshop in window mode, and shtinking it into a half sized window, but I have porblem rotating the canvas and it is just to small to work when it is like that. He mangaed to use phoshop in full window mode (fills the whole screen) and still have his preview window stay in front. I asked him but I got no reply. So I was hoping some here would know.

    Yeah, I was also using Afloat before updating to Lion, but now it seems it is not compatible anymore. Mac should have that function (keep a window on top) built in - such an easy thing and so helpful, much more than all claimed "productivity" apps etc. Linux has it since always...

  • Safari and other apps reload when switched to from some other app.

    Okay so i have safari, twitter and facebook apps opened and i am currently updating twitter. In between i jump to facebook by twice pressing the home button on my iPhone 4s running iOS7. What happens now is that facebook reloads and i am shown my home page even when i was on a friends fb page. I switch back to twitter and now twitter app reloads and show me the homepage and not the search i was doing earlier. I jumped to safari to search for this and safari app reloads and a page that i had earlier opened gets reload..
    This is what is happening with all the applications. Is this normal? I have already disable background app refresh option in settings.

    Apple does not tell you that IO7 64bit  is memory hungry and the memory on iphone/ipads are 1GB . Basically the iOS7 is running out of memory and reloading apps otherwise os will hang. Apple ***** for not informing their users also current devices come with 1GB memory and they never disclose it at any of their events going to 64bit the forgot basic concepts , they are becoming a fashion company not a technology any more.

  • Skip chapters in an Audiobook using keyboard while in other apps?

    In iTunes, when listening to an audiobook I can use shift-command-right to skip forward a chapter in an Audiobook.
    I have a current model aluminum keyboard with the media control keys in the top row. Is there some way I can use these to skip to the next chapter without first command-tabbing back to iTunes?
    Also, is there a way to skip back 30 seconds, as with the iPhone player?

  • E90 - How to switch off GPS and other apps etc and...

    I have just got my new E90 a few days ago, it is back on the market, so far it is terrific, no issues what so ever. However I thought I had exited the GPS app correctly, but the battery drained quite quickly as I think it was on ( few hours). How does one know what is running, eg is there is an equivalent Task manager like in Windows ? When I reboot and dont start the GPS the phone battery has lasted for days.
    By the way - initally my E90 GPS took less than 1 minute to lock in, and thereafter it takes seconds. Quite amazing.

    Not sure what you mean, you can only connect to a PC running PC suite and having the usb drivers installed.
    More then this, access is triggered in one way PC to E90, not in the reverse !
    I didn't event tested it, but almost sure it won't work.
