Why does my music stop when the screen dims'

Why while a song is playing on my iPod nano and the screen starts to dim the song goes off

Have no clue since you did not mention which model iPod Nano you have!
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.

    Why does video out stop when ipad screen locks?

    Thanks.  I should have been more specific.  I am watching using video out cables to the TV, and would like to watch the entire episode without unlocking the screen every five minutes.

  • When listening to music on my iPhone 4S, the music stops when the screen fades.

    When listening to music on my iPhone 4S, the music stops when the screen fades. I am not using my earphones. Can someone suggest some ear buds that will work with my iPhone4S? The Apple ones do not fit...too small.

  • Why my songs get stop when the screen turns dark

    i have problems like this. when a song is playing and if the touch screen turns dark, my song is being disconnected. i have to press the on button and to touch the play icon on the screen again

    Your headphones are not fully inserted.  The white part of the headphones should be flush with the headphone jack, meaning no silver from the headphone's plug can still be seen.

  • TS3700 why does my music stop playing when i press the sleep/wake buttom? it says the screen turns off but the music should be playing

    why does my music stop playing when i press the sleep wake button? it says that the screen should turn off bu the music should still keep playing

    This is usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged all the way in.  Make sure the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano and no silver from the plug can still be seen.
    If you are 100% positive that the earbuds are all the way in, double check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris and/or damage.

  • Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.

    Why does my trackpad stop working, the batteries are fine.

    Try expanding your question a little bit.... how is it not working? Just saying it "stopped working" isn't really saying much.
    Like does it work sometimes and it intermittendly stops? Is the light on the power button not on?
    Does it sometimes not click things? (always remember the actual trackpad buttons are actually on the buttom of the trackpad so you have to give a decent click on the pad to make it work)

  • Does wifi turns off when the screen is locked?

    I just wonder if it does. I want to know cause I want to save some battery life.
    If it doesn't is there a way on the setting to turn that feature on?

    HI. WI-FI is still on when the screen is locked. Unfortunately there is no such feature. You may find all info about WI-FI settings hereiOS: Connecting to Wi-Fi - Apple Support

  • Why does my ipod have on the screen the itunes symbol and the cord and an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol?  I can't get it to do anything.

    Why does my ipod have on its screen the itunes symbol and the cord with an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol.  I can't do anything with my ipod now!

    Plug it into iTunes. If that does not work hold the power and home button untill the screen turns off then let go of the power button but KEEP holding the home button... this should bypass the connect to iTunes screen. Hope it helps.

  • Why does my music stop playing when I sleep my screen?

    Why do songs stop playing when I sleep my screen? If my screen automatically sleeps after two minutes or I sleep it with the button or iPad smart cover the music stops playing. It only started doing this after upgrading to 5.0.1. Is this just a bug with the new software?

    Thanks Rachel, I have done that and it seemed to have taken care of the problem, though my music videos in "Video" stop playing when my iPad sleeps automatically after two minutes... I am trying to find out how to contact apple about these issues directly...

  • Why does my music stop playing on my macbook air

    I have a macbook air with GB memory and 128GB storage. I"m using Yosemite X OS 10.1.1
    Whenever I play music from either my iTunes or Spotify library the music stops after about an hour and the macbook goes into sleep mode. This does not happen on my iPad?
    I've tried troubleshooting via system preferences as I thought It might be to do with the screen or energy saver or a limiting function associated with the software. I've looked on both apple and spottily support sites and spoken to friends who have similar products but do not experience the same problem.
    I'd be grateful for any ideas

    Hello rjsw15, 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It is normal for your display to turn off while music is playing on your MacBook Pro, but it is unexpected that the computer would go to sleep. 
    In your case, I'd recommend resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) as a troubleshooting step to try first. This step helps in a variety of cases, including:
    The computer sleeps or shuts down unexpectedly.
    You can find more information and the steps to reset the SMC on your MacBook Air at this link:

    Sincerely,
    Jeremy 

  • Why does system preferences crash when changing screen saver?

    There are several posts in this same vein, here, but I can't seem to find a specific one.
    I had a process that ran and accidently began removing portions of my "user" directory.  I used time machine to restore and everything seems fine now.
    However, I noticed that after awhile, the screen saver would come up rather than just blanking the screen.  I decided this would be ok, so I when to System Preferences-> Desktop and Screen Saver then clicked the Screen Saver tab. I chose one of the screen savers, but didn't like it. But upon re-entering the System Preferences a second time, low and behold, there were NO screen savers listed and the process hung and wouldn't close.  I finally had to stop the process from the Activity Monitor, at which point it gave a dump. This has happened about 10 times.
    When I go to /System/Library/Screen\ Savers/  there is no content there. Same goes for ~/Lirbrary/Screen\ Savers/.  So it looks as if they are gone. I have a Mac Book Pro, however, that behaves the same way (except its running Snow Leopard instead of Lion). So I don't know that's it.
    I have run permissions repair and checked the disk and all is well.
    I have set System Preferences to not run in 32 bit, as someone suggested, but that didn't do anything either.
    I have a 2009 iMac with 4GB and about 3/4th full disk.
    Could anyone suggest any more alternatives?

    Thanks Linc.  I am not really comfortable with the re-install approach I guess, but it may be all I have left.  I tried to go back to a previous backup on Time Machine and just replace systempreferences.app but the backup wouldn't let me do that.  I have restored library in my home directory but I did so only piecemeal based on things that seemingly got disturbed.
    One very odd thing... I left my computer on this morning and came back a little later and lo and behold a screen saver was running. This was a bit of a surprise, seeing that when I go to the system preferences and try to see screen savers, they aren't there and that's when the app hangs. So, apparently the screen savers are SOMEWHERE, but not able to be seen.  That's what is killing me. I feel as if its a permission problem, yet when I run a repair-permissions, it finds nothing wrong. The screen saver files are supposed to be somewhere, but I have a feeling they are hidden somehow, and because of that, I can't change anything. The result baffling part is that even in terminal mode, viewing /System/Library/Screen\ Savers/ or the home library folder, shows absolutely nothing in Finder OR terminal mode. So they are either completely gone or hiding. I have to assume the latter, seeing that a screen saver started up.
    So if anyone has an idea how these files could be hiding, or where, other than the locations above, that would be a very good thing to know.

  • Why does my music close when opening Safari?

    Anyone have this problem? I'll be listening to music like normal, then if I open Safari and browse around a little, the music stops playing. And if I try double-clicking the home button to play the music again, it usually ends up just closing both the music and Safari.
    What can I do to resolve this issue?

    It's a fairly common bug.
    No fix at this time.
    Hopefully it's being worked on.
    Sometimes a reset or even a restore can help, but I'd only do a reset as it's not specific to your Touch.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep playing music randomly? And why does it keep stopping when I actually want to use it?

    I keep trying to play music and it just randomly stops, and when I don't want to play music it randomly starts playing! Why is this? Is this because of iOS 7? or is it because of the phone itself?

    Try to do a reset. Hold down on the Hold and Home keys for about 10 seconds until the  shows.
    If that doesn't work, you should try to do a restore. A restore re-installs the operating system. Plug your phone in and go to the phone preferences screen in iTunes. There is a restore option. After restore iTunes gives you an option to restore from backup or use as a new phone. I would first try to see if the problem vanishes if you do the restore from backup option. If the problem still exist, you might want to restore again and opt for the use as a new phone. This is because maybe a file in the backup is corrupt and you cannot use the backup. This means all of your saved texts, photos, settings, etc will be gone. You can resync most of the data back if you have them on your computer (not your text messages though). So think twice before restoring as a new phone. Also, there is a risk that restoring won't resolve your issue so think twice. I can tell you that I have everything on my computer and I can get most of the data back even if I restore as a new phone but everyone is different.
