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

  • I'm at a gym where I can plug my ipod into the machines to listen to music and save the battery, it worked fine and all of a sudden, it is showing not supported, other peoples still work.

    I am at a gym where each machine has a port for ipods so you can listen to music through the machine and not run your battery down.  My worked fine for two months now all of a sudden, it is showing "not supported" and no longer works.  Anything I can reset on my ipod to get this working again?

    Have you tried using a different cable?  Try cleaning out the iPod's dock connector port making sure that it is clean and clear of debris as well as free of damage to the pins.

  • Why can I not listen to music on iTunes using my iphone

    I sync my music to my phone at home then bring my phone to work. When I plug in my phone to my desktop at work, my music doesn't show up in iTunes. This works perfectly on my iPod. I am able to sync music at home and bring my iPod to work and listen to it via iTunes.

    That's not cool. The iPod was able to do that, why would they make the iPhone any different?
    I don't want to sync to two computers though. I'm literally syncing to one computer and just plugging it in to another computer to listen to the music on the phone.

  • Why if i want to listen to music and i'am not using headphones i don't hear the music coming from the mac

    why if i want to listen to music and i'am not using headphones i don't hear the music coming from the mac?

    that means that your mac still thinks the headphones are plugged in.  Try inserting and unplugging the headphones from the jack several times and see if it sets the toggle switch back.  If not, try sticking a toothpick or something sturdy and narrow in and see if you can manually flip the toggle switch.  That method is a last resort, you do not want to break anything off inside the headphone jack.

  • HT2729 I cannot synch a movie from my iMac to my iPad.  I keep getting a message that I am not connected to the internet.  Yet, I can fetch my email, access many newspappers, and listen to music clips for the itunes store.  I did a retart of all without l

    I cannot synch movies to my iPad.  This has worked for me in the past.  I keep getting an error message that I am not connected to the internet.  Yet, I certainly am.  How else could I post this message.  I can listen to music clips from the iTunes store, fetch my email, and read current newspapers on the internet.  I restarted both my iMac and my Ipad and that didnot help. 

    I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
    Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
    Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems.

  • How can you listen to music and play a game at the same time?

    How can you listen to music and play a game at the same time?
    I am playing music, by starting the Crash Baandicoot Nitro Kart 3D game it shuts off the music playing. Is there a way around this?
    It seems like this should be possible.

    Select the music play list you want to listen to and start it playing. Go back to the home screen and start the app you want to use, music will stop. Press the home button two time quickly and it will bring up a simple control for controling the music. This works for me with all of the apps I have purchased including games. Just a note you can pull up the same music control if the iPod is a sleep and locked by pressing the button three times quickly.

  • Can I listen to  music and play a game at same time?

    I would like to listen to music and play a game at the same time. For example can I listen to Pandora and play a card game? How? When I try to go from 1 app to another one closes.

    you can listen to music thats in the iPod part of the phone and play a game, but you can't listen to music from apps like Pandora and use another app to play a game

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    If within warranty (yours is since the warranty is one year) and not abused, Apple will exchange it at no cost.

  • Why can't I listen to radio stations and run a download on the ipad2 at the same time as with the original iPad

    why can't I listen to radio stations and run a downloaded program at the same time with the ipad2 as I could with the original iPad?
    is there something in the new one that I have not turned on?

    Nothing needs to be turned on. What apps are you attempting to use? Perhaps the versions you have don't support background operation.
    Regards.

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    Its wrong to assume that everyone has a backup copy.
    are you PC or Mac?

  • TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

    Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
    Examples of what is going on:
    1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc  AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
    2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
    3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
    It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums.  Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues.  What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
    MacBook Pro
    Mac OS X
    Version 10.7.5
    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
    iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
    iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
    Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
    Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
    Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

    I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer.  Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
    All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
    Do you have any suggestions.
