Using music app on Iphone when plugged into a device

A feature I would like to see added is being able to control my phone through the music app when it is plugged into a device rather than it being disabled. I mainly listen to music in my car and my radio interface is not very user friendly when it comes to navigating through my music. However if I use pandora when I plug in my device I can control the app from my phone. This is a feature that should be compatible with the music app so that I can control it through my phone which is more user friendly.

Try a reset when your iPhone is plugged into the charger as you say it does not respond when not plugged in...
Press and hold the Home and On/Off buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo, then release.  This may take up to 10 seconds.  This is the equivalent of a re-boot and you will not lose any data.
See if it will charge after this.

    Yes, it will.
    Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

  • TS3540 iTunes and iPhoto won't recognize my iPhone when plugged into my mac.

    iTunes and iPhoto won't recognize my iPhone 4S, or my wife's iPhone 4 when pluged into my MAC.  I am running OSX v10.5.8, and both iPhones have the latest version of iOS.  I tried a few of the other trouble shooting tips from the community, but nothing seems to work.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks.

  • Plays automatically when plugged into a device

    Hi. My touch is running version 3.1.1. When I plug my touch into a device, usually my clock-radio which has a built in cradle, it starts playing the first song from my library automatically. Is there a way to prevent this? Very irritating when I have another app running - such as a radio app, and the library takes over...

  • Can't Use iPhone when Plugged into certain USB Charger

    The screen becomes completely unresponsive: cant slide the 'unlock' button; it behaves really weirdly, erratically. Same with scrolling and choosing podcasts. The behaviour is just weird. This is with a UK 'triangular' USB charger.The cheaper 'egg-shaped' chargers (with the red LED on them) show no such problem. Anyone know what's going on?

    Sounds like a damaged device, take it to Apple for evaluation.
    If it's under warranty, they will replace it.
    If it's not under warranty, an Out of Warranty replacement is $149US.

  • How can I stop the display dimming when plugged into a powersupply. Cannot read playlist in car using music player.

    My new ipod seems to dim after a short time, even when plugged into a power supply, unlike my previous ipod, which used to stay illuminated
    when plugged into the car stereo and external power
    Now in order to see the playlist I have to swipe or touch the home button, using the music player. However using  a GPS app, the screen stays
    fully illuminated......as it should!
    Is this normal now for playing music?
    Also, the new grey on white menu display for music is very hard to read in the car in bright daylight.......unlke the old white on black. Nothing I
    can do about that sadly except complain to apple directly :-(

    Hi Diavonex. Yes I was aware of this option.
    Subsequently I have done a litle research and downloaded a music app called "Track 8" which has a much clearer interface (larger type) and the abillity to change the background colour to dark or light.
    This is much more readable in the car in bright light, and much better at night too.
    You can also turn off auto-lock within the application, which is great, as it doesn't affect other apps.
    Although this app is really only an interface sitting on top of the music app, it offers a much better experience
    in my opinion that the stock player which seems to have devolved rather than evolved.

    So even if I just ask to pay them to replace the lock button they won't because my screens are third-party?
    Apple does not repair devices beyond replacing the screen on some models or a battery replacement.  They replace the ENTIRE device.
    For the Out of Warranty replacement cost, you could have gotten a fully functional replacement device.  Instead you chose to spend less to get only the screen replaced and continue to live with additional issues.
    Apple will not touch the device now.  They will know that it was opened elsewhere and that the replacement screen is not original.

  • TS1503 My iPhone 4 says that there is not enough memory to download apps like Facebook and Instagram. When plugged into iTunes it says that 4GB is filled with "other". How do I clear the "other"?  What is this?

    My iPhone 4 says that there is not enough memory to download apps like Facebook and Instagram. When plugged into iTunes it says that >4GB is filled with "other". How do I clear the "other"?  What is this?

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

    Nonsense, and very misleading advice.  I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4  through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones.  Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either.  Hack your phone and have update problems?  I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

  • IPhone has 175 songs but iTunes says it has over 600 when plugged into computer

    On my iPhone4:
    In the Settings > General > About - My phone says it has 175 songs
    When plugged into a Mac with iTunes my phone reports that it has 175 songs under the tab 'On This iPhone'
    But, in the Summary tab, if you hover the mouse over the Audio area it says 665 songs.
    My phone is nearly full and I think this must be the culprit because I don't store much on my phone. So I am trying to figure out if there is a Deleted Music folder somewhere? Why is iTunes reporting so much music on my phone.
    I only have a handful of podcasts so that isn't it either.

  • MY iPhone 5C suddenly stopped working. It wont connect to my Mac and repeatedly reboots from the apple Logo when plugged into the wall. Help!

    MY iPhone 5C suddenly stopped working. It wont connect to my Mac and repeatedly reboots from the apple Logo when plugged into the wall.
    There is no water damage or anything. I got that checked at the Apple store. I also have Apple Care + but didnt let them give me a new one yet because I have photos on this that I have no yet backed up that are very important. They are the last photos I have with my grandfather. Can anyone help me. Please!

    If the phone shows the "connect to iTunes" screen, the data on the phone is most likely lost.
    Connecting in recovery mode is your only chance to use the phone again, besides getting it serviced by Apple.
