Music on MacBook Air

Is it possible to allow an iTunes music window to pop up while on "Lock Screen" on MacBook Air? Or any other way to change songs while they are playing while MacBook Air is in "Lock Screen"?

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, francia240.

If we understand your post correctly, you're trying to control the Music app while your MacBook Air is locked. We’d like to help by providing some information.


We see you were viewing "Download and use iTunes for Windows" and it did not resolve your issue.


While there's not a way to show a pop-up window while your Mac is locked in the way you describe, you might check out the iTunes Remote app for iOS to see if that works for you so you can control your music: Set up the iTunes Remote app for Music on Mac


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
