Way to play music with iBook closed

My daughter would like to play music on her iBook (through the headphone jack) with the iBook closed. Is there a way for her to do this?

Hi annettemcd,
Just to echo the previous poster really. There's no way to deactivate this from the operating system without using some kind of hack, but that's precisely the problem.
You may also want to have a look at another post earlier on the forum entitled 'turninng off the sleep mode' or something similar; they were asking the same kind of question. The upshot seems to be that the build up of heat caused by the machine operating with the lid closed might cause some damage to the hardware. An over-reaction, perhaps, but it's definitely worth being very careful, especially when tampering with options Apple doesn't make available as standard.
Hope this helps.
W.

  • Can you play music with the laptop closed?

    Is there a way play music with the Laptop closed? I have a MacBook Pro w/Retina display.

    You'll either need to have a keyboard and monitor attached so you can wake the computer with the screen closed or use one of the third-party utilities that keeps the MBP from sleeping when you close the lid such as InsomniaX.
    Regards.

  • Play CD music with lid closed

    Is it possible to play CD with lid closed without a external display plugged in? Assuming the MBP is connected to AC outlet, and Bluetooth mouse is present.

    No. You need an external display, mouse, and keyboard connected.
    And why would you wanna do that? Are you running a line out? If not and you are playing the sound out through the MBP speakers, the lid would make minimize the output of the speakers and it would sound like garbage.

  • Is there a fix for battery drain on ipad 2 IOS 5.0.1? drain from 100% to 70% in less than 20min had it on playing music with display off

    is there a fix for battery drain on ipad 2 IOS 5.0.1? drain from 100% to 70% in less than 20min had it on playing music with display off

    About all that can be suggested is to use the feedback form and talk to Apple. They have communicated with some users, trying to get more info to find out just what the battery drain is so they can fix it. Unfortunately with the myriad of operating systems, apps and individual tweaks, there could be several combinations of settings that are draining the battery.
    My personal suspicion is that it has something to do with iCloud and the wifi syncing. (My ipad, before I changed the setting, was reaching out to find a sync on a regular basis. And it may still be doing so, however I set my iTunes to not automatically open to keep my device from trying to sync several times in an evening...not to mention the constant aggravation of iTunes opening regularly)
    That said, I could be wrong and it could be an app that users have in common, or several apps.

    This category is for iPod shuffle.  Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle?  If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
    There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
    Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
    All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
    Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen

  • I am trying to find a way to play music from my I-tunes Library outside using wireless speakers..  It this possible??

    I am trying to find a way to play music from my I-tunes library outside of the house using the Ariport Express and wireless speakers if possible.. I would like to purchase some outdoor capable wireless speakers which will receive the signal from the airport Express.. Is this possible???  Do you knwo what speakers I need to buy???  I do not want to have to run speaker wires from the Airport Express to these outdoor speakers..
    Thanks for the help

    I still have the email and the order number but they are no use to me because it is more than 180 days since I ordered this from them.
    The registration cade is contained in the email Apple sent you on purchasing.

  • Can I use Rhaposody to play music with AirPort

    Can I use Rhaposody to play music with AirPort?

    To stream non-iTunes audio sources from your PC to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) you will need a third-party application, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil for Windows.

    Go to settings/music/volume limit tap on that.  Make sure it is set to OFF and when you tap it that the slider is at max

  • Playing music with Time Capsule

    Is there any way to play music through the Time Capsule network?
    USB speakers or other?

    Sorry, but no. Unlike the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), the Time Capsule does not have built-in audio circuitry.

  • PLAYING MUSIC WITH MY BB 8100

    I suddenly noticed that my BB 8100 no longer play a music to the end as usual. It rather stops on its own accord and returns to the home page just like that.
    I  will really appreciate how to get this rectified cos i love playing music with it.
    Moreso, i'm yet to use the wireless service on my BB, i'll also welcome simple guidelines on this.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Thank you.
    So on the main pc, it has to be set to manual update.
    Will this remove the music that's already on the ipod?
    Will I then have to drag each playlist over to the ipod individually to get the new data to the ipod, or will I just click 'update' and have it still be semi automatic?
    will the ipod still update play counts to itunes with this manual update?

    You may want to check your soundcard output in QuickTime. See this post for directions on the process: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa;jsessionid=aXxb7IZbMDPmI_4E?messageID=814726&ft=y&#814726

  • 6 Gen Nano Plays Music With Static.

    My 6th gen. nano is playing music with static.  I have tried replacing apple earbuds, restoring the nano, and modifying the volume limit and sound checking.  No history of water damage or trauma to the unit.  Any suggestions?

    I assume you've listened to the same songs using iTunes, and there is no static there...   If you've tried different headphones and a Restore (using iTunes) already, there is probably something wrong with the nano. 
    Hopefully, it is still within one year from purchase date, and you can contact Apple (or make a reservation at an Apple Store Genius Bar), to see about getting it replaced under warranty.  Even if it's out of warranty, if there is a nearby Apple Store, you may want to have Apple tech support at the Genius Bar take a look at it.

  • How can I disable wifi while playing music with locked ipod touch?

    When I play music and lock the iPod touch, the wifi stays on which drains more battery than is needed. I don't want to turn off wifi in Settings since I like the flexibility to unlock the iPod and quickly check email, browse the web while listing to music (without going into settings, turn it on, browse, go back to settings and turn it off). Once I lock the iPod while playing music, I'd like the wifi to turn off. I know it will stay on while streaming that is expected, but why is the wifi staying on when playing music of the iPod?? Is there a way to do what I am asking? I don't recall having this issue with OS 1.x or 2.x. Also I have seen some posts asking for the opposite (leave the wifi on when not playing music and iPod is locked). These posts acknowledge that wifi stays on while playing music, so it seems to be 'feature' or bug in the OS.

    henry is correct. you can't do that.
    however, for what it's worth, i have found that wifi connection is similar to mobile phone network connection. i.e. if a phone is searching for a network, it takes up huge amounts of battery, but if it is constantly connected, it doesn't. so it is the 'search' procedure which drains the battery. similarly with my iPod touch. if it is connected to my home wifi network, but i am not using the wifi connection, the battery will not drain significantly. it's when i'm away from home and forget to switch it off that the battery drains. or when i am using it constantly (like listening to a 3.5 hr radio show using safari)
