Why can't I play Safari and Chrome videos in the background anymore?

Before iOS 6, I was able to play videos on Safari and Google Chrome while the app is running in the background. I really enjoyed playing music from YouTube videos in the background whilst multitasking on other things. How come I can't do this anymore? Is it a copyright/compatibility issue or something? When I play a video, and pull up the app switcher to play the music, it has the app there, but when I press Play it doesn't do anything.

I did more research and found that after the 4.2.2 update if you leave the @me.com or @mac.com OFF of your "add mobileme account when logging onto ATV that the error message: cannot load content, try again later goes away and allows your Gallery movies to play.  Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I run Safari and Skype at the same time without making my computer freeze up?

    I can't believe I can't run Safari and Skype at the same time without my computer freezing up, it's a MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.8 and it has an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU with 2.2 Ghz and 2 Gb of RAM. Is this a hardware problem or a software problem?

    I haven't gone to the trouble of actually testing to see which uses more CPU power, but Firefox has been faster than Safari on every Mac I've ever owned.
    To see CPU usage by process, open the terminal (in Utilities) and enter 'top' at the command line. You might have to expand the window as processes don't appear in any logical order.
    It could also be hardware-related: I have late 2009 mini with similar specs and it pinwheels easily.

  • Why can't I navigate back and forth in iTunes with gestures anymore?

    In leopard, with any app that has a back/forward navigation available (iTunes, AppStore), you could swipe three fingers to move back and forth. Now, in Lion, you can only swipe back/forward in safari (default is two fingers, which is fine with me)... What gives? Is there a way to turn this feature back on?
    It's kind of annoying that one has to click the little [<][>] buttons to move back and forth anymore instead of swiping. With all these improvements, why remove the ones that worked before?
    I still enjoy my Lion, however.

    In something that I've chosen to file under "how messed up is this?", iTunes Store seems to support 3 finger swiping to move forwards and backwards and two finger scrolling in all directions. iTunes itself also supports two finger scrolling in all directions and three finger swiping to go backwards, but not forwards - if it helps I've attached my trackpad settings
    There's one particular finger gesture I'd like to make at Apple for releasing this half thought-through operating system on the general public...(and after the confusing time I just had trying to navigate "Duplicate" and "Save a version" and other such nonsense when using Preview to convert the screenshot Grab just gave me, I'll double that Gesture)

  • Why can I not play music through my headphones while the power cord is plugged in?

    When my headphones and power cord are plugged in at the same time, audio will not play through the headphones, and the volume bar goes away. Why?

    What is the other end of the power cord plugged in to? If it isn't an Apple wall adapter the phone probably sees it as an audio device.

  • Can i play audio and record video at the same time, disabling the external mike, so the video has that audio?

    Hi SwedelostinAmerica,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    The iPhone can maintain multiple pairing records, but it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. However, in your situation there may be a solution. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth for calls and use the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone and car radio to connect for music.
    The following article explains Bluetooth pairing and usage. Please use it as a reference.

  • Why can I only see podcasts and no music in the iTunes app on my iPod touch 4g?

    I have seen videos on YouTube where in some step they open iTunes on an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad and I can always see that there are no podcasts just music but in my case I can only see podcasts

    iTunes Match is a paid-for service where (I think) you can get up to 25GB of non-iTunes purchases uploaded to iCloud from your computer (your iTunes purchases are already in the cloud, and don't count against your Match account).  When you turn on Match on your computer and iOS devices, your iTunes library is replicated in iCloud and pushed down to your device.
    I'm paraphrasing a lot, and probably missed some facts, but I'm not an iTunes Match user -- it's not my cup of tea.  I was just pointing out that if you have songs in your library that you didn't buy from iTunes, the only way to download them outside of iTunes is to use Match (unless there's a functional alternative to iTunes that supports iOS devices, don't think so though).
    I know what you mean about the long "Waiting for items to copy ..." issue, seems to have gotten worse with iOS 7.1 and/or most recent iTunes update.  I just let my iPhone do its thing, sometimes it takes an hour before it decides to load 20-30 songs onto my iPhone.  I restored my iPhone over the weekend and it seems to have gotten a little better, but still frustrating ... I just have to remember to not re-sync if I'm planning on going anywhere soon.

  • TS2972 why can't I play all my music videos on my ipad when sharing the library from my p.c

    I can play some of the newer music videos purchased through itunes but not any of the older ones.I can see them in the shared library but when I try to play them it just says 'cannot open'

    Authorize your MBP in iTunes with the Apple ID used to purchase the recovered music.

  • My Ipod Touch Was dropped and screen is broken. How can I get It Fixed? I cannot Unlock the Ipod Touch, all I can do is play Music and Change Songs.

    I Dropped My Ipod Gen 4 on a Granite Floor and it Spider webbed. Now all I can do is Play songs and change songs from the lock screen. I cannot unlock the Ipod or do anything else. Is there any way for me to get it fixed Cheap???

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

    You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:

    or send it in to Apple. See:

  • Tutorials on the Apple Website play in Safari and Chrome, but not always in Firefox. Java and Flash plug ins are up to date.

    I was trying to play the Time Machine video tutorial on the Apple Website (I have an imac 10.6.6) and it won't play in Firefox, but it will in Safari and Chrome. This has happened before but then seemed to fix itself. Other videos (Youtube for eg.) play fine. All plugs (Java and Flash) are up to date. Just wondering why this could happen.

    I have had this problem for a few days, no sound in Firefox, but IE and WMP (offline) have sound, this is a Firefox ONLY problem, so the volumes are all set correctly and the drivers and needed files are there, I've tried every fix that people have suggested on Google like checking the flash player settings, creating the "missing.reg" registry file and importing it, etc...
    nothing works, I may just have to switch to Safari or Chrome, I watch a lot of video online (Youtube, ESPN3, NFL.com, etc.) so this is a huge problem...

  • Length of audio file not correct in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome. Why?

    Hello,
         I created a mp3 player that loads the file, displays the sound length, and plays the audio file. I have notified that on Firefox, Safari, and Chrome browsers, the length of audio file is not correct. I have uninstalled and installed flash plugin and activex control but no luck. Any ideas why I am experiencing this behavior?
    Regards,
    Nilang

    As a test, try putting an empty JSP in front of it that triggers the session to be created, and then redirects (with a HTTP meta refresh for example) to the frameset jsp to see if that fixes anything.
    If that fixes it, then I guess the pages load too quickly.

  • Safari and Chrome Hogging Memory to Play Video

    Safari and Chrome Start to hog up most of the processor. the videos start out of but after a while the proccessor jumps up to 100% then make the video out of sync with th audio. The Audio will play fine. Once it starts The Processor will cycle up and down until the video is stopped. also I noticed the when transfering any file to and from a USB Stick it takes along time now.
    This is what is going on with no video playing.

  • My browsers (safari and chrome) continue to open an old version of a website. Even though I've cleared my browser history and cache.  Please help!  what else can I do.

    My browsers (safari and Chrome) continue to open an old version of a website - even though I've cleared my browser history and cache.  It's essential I see the newly launched site - rather than the old ones.  It's strange it's happening in both browsers. 
    Please help!

    You, or someone using your computer, hacked the system to redirect certain URL's. The file modified is /etc/hosts.
    The easiest way to fix the hosts file is to restore it from a backup that predates the modification, or to copy the unmodified file from another Mac. If you can't do that, then do as below. Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    Back up all data. This is a simple procedure, but if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you could be left with an unbootable system. In that case, you'll have to restore from a backup or reinstall OS X.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    open -a TextEdit /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    fe80::1%lo0                    localhost
    Below that, you'll see some other lines. There should be nothing above the first line "##". If you have any doubt about that, STOP and ask for guidance. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of the document. Scroll bars are hidden by default until you actually start scrolling, so you may not realize that you’re not seeing the whole document.
    If the contents of the TextEdit window are as described, close it, then enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (by copy and paste):
    sudo sed -i~ '11,$d' /etc/hosts
    This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Confirm. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Quit Terminal.
    That will fix the hosts file. There is now a copy of the old hosts file with the name "hosts~" in the same folder as "hosts". You can delete the copy if you wish. Don't delete the file named "hosts".

    Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device.  Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit.  I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment
