Mac hibernates while Spotify plays music

Hello world!

I came across a problem that I just can't understand how to solve:

While Spotify is running and playing music, my iMac hibernates after 10 minutes (as it is defined in the menu system).

It has no sense to me at all.

I'd be happy if someone has an idea how to solve this problem.

I use an iMac 27' end 2012 and running El Capitan 10.11.5

Kind regards

Cameron

Hey Kamoranesi,

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. If your Mac is hibernating but still play music via Spotify. It's a little strange. There may be some settings in your system preferences that can help fix this. Your energy saving settings in the preferences system has an option to wake for network access. Because Spotify uses the internet to stream your music, the Mac isn't really hibernation if this option is selected. Please check these settings and turn it off. You can also put in hibernation of the Mac for more than 10 minutes if you plan on listening to your Spotify. The link below can help with these settings.

Preferences of OS X El Capitan: energy saving

Change these preferences at your convenience for optimal performance on your Mac

Have a great day.

  • Play music while connected via USB?

    Is it possible to play music while connected via USB?

    It would be very useful for those of us who listen to music all day at work.

    Workaround/hax solutions will be appreciated.

    Hello britoso and welcome to the forum.

    The Clip cannot read music when it is connected and communicates with a computer USB port. If you want to keep the battery from flowing and still be able to listen to music, you will need to get a USB charger or try one of the methods described in these discussions:

  • Play music while WiFi Hotspot is activated

    Music cuts and reguardless of this player I use the WiFi hotspot is turned on. I've disabled WiFi hotpspot and played music as it should. Pandora, Tunein radio, mp3 the... what any wise media it appears.bIt also appears this happens only when listening via a bluetooth device - in my case a Motorola T505.

    If this isn't a fricking thing, it's another with this dam phone. *(&#$*(%&#*($&*#!!!

    WiFi and BT radios share resources on the NCS and because uses require simultaneous emission / reception, you can do both at the same time. The radio transceiver and the antenna are shared between BT, WiFi, GPS and supports full duplex operation but not full quadraplex.

    It is a hardware limitation and cannot be resolved. The solution is to use a wired headset if you need to use the hotspot or wifi tethering.

    Edit: I misread. The case I am describing involves the use of BT streaming music and the use of WiFi Hotspot, is not only using the music player. There may be another problem that you are experiencing.

  • Cannot play music files in the Amazon (m3u)

    Windows 7 x 64
    Firefox 39.0.3

    I still managed to play music in the Amazon files until either a Windows or Firefox recent update - don't know which came first. No matter now as Amazon apparently use m3u files & I don't seem to have a plugin for them it keeps wanting me to download or save etc, which is not what I want to do with I want to taste a few tens of individuals.

    I have VLC and WMP plugins media both always active value & restarted Firefox many times while working through this issue, but probably none of these work for m3u files? I've read more articles on similar issues, but none of the various fixes have worked for me for example on: plugins options - True (not sure exactly that one is that I had to change). I downloaded and tried to install a 'media pack' for Win 7, but that no longer works.

    Never had this problem until recently through several updates to Windows & /or Firefox so a bit puzzled as to what else to do. The only types of files mentioned in the Options are mp3, 4, mpeg4, wmp.

    Appreciate any ideas. Thank you.

    Please upgrade to the latest version of Firefox:

    The former autour work should do an add operation, try Firefox is Mode without fail to ensure that it is not not a problem with an add we:

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • On my work PC, I can play music stored on my Macbook at home

    My son gave me a large USB hard drive on which he had copied all my CDs we have connected the HD to an old Mac laptop, we had at home and all those titles (titles only, file copy off) imported into my ITunes library, using my AppleID.

    I thought it would be like a "music personal cloud Server" who would have access no matter where I was, at work or on the road.  But on my Windows PC at work, when I open the Windows of ITunes version and log with my AppleID, I don't see my music anywhere.  There is nothing in the recently added or recently played.

    Is there a 'cloud' special feature that must be enabled in ITunes on the iBook?  Or do we use older equipment with older versions of the operating system? Or am I simply mistaken and operating under a misconception, that ITunes will allow me to create a personal music server for playing music on my CD imported into ITunes?

    The last of them, you are wrong in how you think things are working.

    If you want to have access to your music CD, while at work, you will need to subscribe to iTunes game or AppleMusic, so a copy of the articles on your drive home are transferred to iCloud. Logging in to your iTunes Store account, as you do now will show purchases you made on the iTunes Store, of which a copy is nominally kept permanently in iCloud for re - download.

    Note that by using any of the subscription services may alter how your library because iCloud now becomes the center of your storage media, in particular with regard to all mobile devices that you own. People also the misadventures of report (of maybe their fault, maybe Apple) and lost points. I'll make sure you always have a solid backup or two before using any of the services.

  • Is not playing music on Tumblr. No sound can be heard.

    All started about two days ago. I tried to listen to the music on Tumblr, but the Player did not look and work. So I tried the desire in and while it seemed it worked it wasn't a sound playback. And he still isn't playing today. I don't know what the problem is or why he just stop playing all of a sudden when it wasn't a problem before. Firefox is unable to play music more on Tumblr?

    It still works for me on a Windows 7 device. Flash player is disabled on your tumblr feed?

  • My iphone 6 recently stopped playing music on my car by bluetooth. He repeats just the same song on

    My iphone 6 used to play music via bluetooth on my car radio while that plugged into the USB port for charging. Since the last update I have nothing but trouble. Whenever I plug my phone change to repeat the song & repeat continuously. It also does the same thing if I turn radio for ipod. If I unplug the USB cable it works fine, but I want to listen to music & charge my phone in the car.

    Try a reset of the phone in now the power and Home keys pressed until the Apple logo.

    I would also remove the phone of the car and then set up again.
