Why can't I listen music when i play games on ipad 3

I used to play games while listening to music on my old ipad. With the new ipad, I can't. Is there anything I can do to be able to play games while playing music?

Evidently - and I am adminittedly speculating - some app will pause another audio source when they are started of have an audio stream of their own. In most cases, the built in Music App will continue playing when another app is closed, unless something like Netflix or the Podcast app is started. I"m guessing the mix of apps you are using works something like that. Very unlikley there is anything you can do to change it.

  • Why can't I transfer music on my computer to my Ipad?

    I recently pudated Itunes and my Ipad and Iphone.  Now I can't get any music on my computer to sync with my Ipad or Iphone.  The songs show up in the Itunes menu to be sinced, but they are greyed out.  This is making my Ipad totally useless.  Is there some trick to it or am I stuck with a $600 useless piece of junk?

    Well I figured it out on my own.  After updating Itunes, I couldn't sync any music that wasn't purchased from Itunes which I mentioned above.  I later discovered that 90% of all music i had allready had on my Ipad would no longer play either.
    The fix; delete everything from the Ipad and re-sync.  It looks like all of my CD rips, home recordings, Internet purchases and Itunes purchases are all working now. 

  • Why can I not buy music when i have set up my apple id?, Why can I not buy music when i have set up my apple id?

    I set up my apple id so that i could download music from itunes, but when i try to buy a song, I get a message that says this account has not been used yet.  I go through and review info, but still cannot buy the music and this keeps happening.  What have I done wrong?

    You set up email accounts on the iPad in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add Account. You have a choice of some of the most popular email providers in the setup list or you can select Other at the bottom.
    Tap on the provider that is applicable and begin the setup on the iPad.

  • Why can't I download music when I have money in my account?

    I am trying to download music, I have enough in my account, but when I hit "buy" nothing happens.  I have 15mg DSL so it shouldn't be an issue.
    HELP!

  • Why can't I listen to my audiobooks after syncing my iPad?

    I recently purchased two audiobooks at around £15.00 each. Later, I then synced my iPad with iTunes and came back on my iPad to find that I could no longer listen to my new audiobooks, they are still in my music app but they can't be selected. I don't understand why as they were working perfectly before. Does anyone know how I can fix this in order to listen to them again?

    Aspen,
    Make sure the song files are on the hard drive of your computer.  Then you can listen to your local copies.
    If you are listening to the versions in the iCloud, you will need to be connected.

  • Why can't I listen to music and read the ny times simultaneously?

    Why can't I listen to music and read simultaneously?

    hmm, well have you ever tried to run the music app in the bakground before? Double click the home button and bring up the music app. Select you music and you should hear it when you switch back to your NY times.app.
    You can do this. HOWEVER, never used the NY times app before. ****IF the NY times has streaming media capability, this would be why you can't listen to music simultaneously while reading.
    Not all news readers have the ability to allow music in the background.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why can't I listen to music while charging my iPhone 4S?  As soon as i plug in the phone goes mute

    Why can't I listen to my music while charging my iPhone 4S?  As soon as I plug in my phone goes mute!

    reset the device (home and sleep/wake button for 5-10sec)
    make sure mute isnt turned on or the ringer/silent switch
    -double tap home and swipe the bottom window to the left and make sure the mute button hasnt been toggled (if its set up there, might be screen lock depending on settings)
    reset all settings (settings >general >reset)
    if all else fails try a backup/restore

  • Why can't I sort music?

    Why can't I sort music on my iPod when it's connected to PC? I can sort the music in my library by any column.

    I have the same issue since the latest update.  I can no longer sort my music by song title on my iPad.  When I click on "Songs", it is sorted by Artist.  The songs aren't even sorted alphabetically by artist in this mode.  I checked on my computer and I have my music "Library" sorted by song title, not by artist. 
    This is very frustrating when trying to locate a song title.
    Any help?

  • Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this only happened recently

    Why can i not buy music from itunes store,this has only happened recently ?

    O.K. Everything seems to be in order now!
    I don't know what happened but this is the results....
    After attempting to edit change the information on my iTunesMS account at least 7 times, I posted the above question, logged out of iTunes, closed down all my apps and turned off my computer.
    A few hours later, I thought I would give it one more try and when I turned on iTunes, went to the Music Store and then 'reviewed' my account... it had my old American address on it with the country listed as Sweden... I just left it alone, as it didn't have my credit card info listed at all... Curiously, I'm clueless about that (though I did send this same complaint to Apple during the first posting... did that have anything to do with it?) When I clicked the continue button (without changing any info) it prompted me that I was finished setting up my iTunes Music Store account and I was immediately able to download some songs....(using the iTunes Music card--- I have not tried my MasterCard!)
    So basically, I did nothing except close iTunes, turn off my computer and later rebooted it and opened iTunes! Strange... does that seem like a fix or what?

  • Why can't i purchase music from an overseas store

    Why can't I purchase music from the US ITunes Store when based in AUS. I can't even find the music I want in searches unless i search overseas.

    This has been covered here many times already, but once again: Apple has no choice in the matter. It's due to restrictions placed on Apple by the record companies and other rights holders.  Quoting from This Business of Music (10th Edition) (by M. William Krasilovsky and Sydney Shemel et. al,  Random House LLC 2007) (and thanks to the Mimico Kid for the reference) :
    The difficulty of establishing workable business models for digital files (...) extends to where they are sold and where they are played. This is the issue of territoriality, and it is an illustration of how the Internet makes it necessary to reexamine basic assumptions that have been taken for granted (...).
    (....) In the music business the primary problem is that copyrights are national and therefore specific rights are tied to national laws and the interpretations of national courts.
    (.... T)hough we can one day hope to see the development of common standards with respect to copyright, the fact that the music business is building upon a history of nation-specific contractual relationships means that the goal of universal international standards is not, for the forseeable future, a practical one.
    (...) Adding to the difficulty (...) the copyrights themselves may have been assigned to different companies in different territories. The best hope for a cleaner start and a simpler future is worldwide recognition that digital uses are in fact - and should be in law - totally new.
    The content owners don't like cross-border sales of CDs either, but there's nothing they can do to stop such sales. They can, though, and do stop cross-border download sales, since if the download stores refuse, the rights holders won't license the tracks to that store.
    So unless and until the record companies, et. al,  all get together and agree to allow download stores to sell cross-border, there's absolutely nothing Apple or any other download store can do.

  • When I play games I can't hear sound on the speaker but the music works on speaker

    On my iPad when i play games I can't hear the sound on the speaker but the music in videos play with the sound on speaker the only time I hear the sound on the pad while playing games on the pad is headphones why is that?

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound. Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • My ipod touch burns up when it is charging or sometimes when i play games at the same time it charges. why is this and what can i do to stop it? please help!!!

    HELLO! I have an Ipod Touch thats 32 gb, and its the really old one without the camera. ( im sorry i dont know which generation it is, but i bought it in 2010. ) Anyways, I've had this Ipod for almost 3 years now, and it still works pretty good. The thing im really worried about is that recently, my Ipod has started to overheat, meaning when i touch it, its almost burning. This happens when I charge it, or when I play games on it while charging the Ipod. When i remove the charger, it stops burning/overheating and goes back to normal. Why does this keep happening? Also, what can I do to stop it? please help!!!
    Thankyou!

    J.K. ROFLing  is correct. It is normal for the iPod to get quire warm when charging and during heavy use.. If concerned make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
