Intel Mac :: Email And Trash Sounds Are Gone, May Be Others Just Haven't Noticed Yet
Apr 2, 2012
trash sound gone, email swoosh sound, and email arrival ding gone. volumes are up, i have read around ...and can't figure it out? I am sure i did something but don't know what. New to Mac. maybe i accidently changed a setting.
Info:
iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), iOS 5.1, mac OS X lion 10.7.3
I can not deselect mute all computer sounds on my Imac with Lion I went into preference and for output the only thing I can select is headphones is there away to get the built in speakers back on this drop down list?
Recently received an email about a purchase that was 1) a very lage sum and 2) one I had not personally made. I think it may be a scam, as the link for the "Not My Order/Report a Problem" did not work.
Since upgrading my MBP to Snow Leopard over this weekend, I have lost some of my system sounds. Specifically, I don't have any sounds for sent mail or when you empty the trash.
I've scoured over several forums where this problem is highlighted, but none of their fixes have worked for me. For instance: I've checked my 'Sound' preference pane to make sure sound effects are on; I've restarted my machine; I've checked the hidden preferences using Tinker Tool; and, repaired permissions through Disk Utility.
Has anyone got any solutions to this problem? Is anyone else experienceing the same issue?
I was wondering if anyonre knew a good way to change the system sound in OSX, or at least find the files in the finder and replace them with "fake" ones. I have replaced the alert sound, but I'm getting annnoyed with the sizzling sound the trash makes.
I thought if you hold down option and control or option and command, and go to empty trash these stubborn items that say they are still in use, when they are not, will go away. Shutting down and restarting MBP won't make them go away either.
The sound system on my iMac keeps chirping like a cricket. This happens every few minutes and occurs both on internal and external speakers. It started a few weeks ago and I have made no major changes in the meantime. What is this and how do I make it stop?
Can someone who's 'up' on imacs give me a steer here.At the beginning of the week, with only a 14 days to go on my 3 year Applecare warranty, I noticed a grey streaky 'misting' on the screen when it was turned off. It was really quite bad. Called Applecare, who got their servicing company to collect it, screen replaced with no problems. Got it back today, new screen, looks great. Â
So far so good. Except that the fan is now whirling around and making an incredible noise after about 10 minutes of the machine being turned on. I'd say it's around 5 times as loud (or hyperactive) as it was before I sent it off for a new screen. One of the things I turned to the imac for was it's quietness, so this is worse for me than a misty screen, to be honest. Sounds like a hairdryer.Â
Put it this way: I often listen to music late at night, very low, but now the fan would drown out the sound of the music. Called Applecare, who are going to get it collected again, but from what I've read in these forums this evening (& I'm no expert) it could be a software related problem (temperature controls and all that...) I'm not sure that the guy I was talking to at Applecare today quite understood what I was trying to explain, and said it was definitely a hardware problem. I want to call Applecare back on Monday before the mac's collected again to just make sure it has to be carted off again, with a bit of back up info from anybody who might help here.Â
Am trying to understand why, lately, I have to use install DVD 1 for minor boot disk repairs on my Intel iMac (late 2006-17" - OSX 10.4.11) almost every week. And why, when I right~click on a file to open it, all applications are proposed twice. Makes the list sort of long!Not knowing what to look for I first thought I might have missed a firmware update. My computer says I'm up to date with EFI 1.2. I make all updates proposed by system as soon as they appear, and regularly use Onyx for privileges repairs, particularly before and after DLs, use Automation weekly, etc. (But I still haven't found out what precise iMac the EFI 1.3 is intended for).
I have a new iphone, but have never purchased anything from itunes. The phone won't let me download a FREE app because I haven't purchased anything before.
I noticed that my system stopped making system (i.e. Mac OS X) sounds for some reason. Sounds from applications are fine. I checked and unchecked the "play user interface sound effects" check box in the preference panes to no effect.
I punch my iTunes music through an Airport Express to a remote set of speakers in the kitchen, which works wonderfully, but I'd like to know if there's a way to run the system sounds through the AE as well. In particular, I listen to Pandora (through a browser) on my laptop, but would love to listen in the kitchen. Any way to do this? System 10.4 I believe...
Email from my IMAP email account that I move to Trash disappears after 7 days even though my settings are set to remove "never" on all devices (iMac, MacBook Air, iPhone, iPad). Today is 4/22. The oldest email in Trash is dated 4/13.
Recently my battery seems to be draining faster than ever before. I'm not sure why. I haven't changed any "display" settings & it's on default settings for brightness settings, etc.
So I just got this today as a replacement for my previous one and I can see that blemish at certain angle in the light. Its really bright in the above image because of the flash.
I have gmail set up on my mac & iphone as IMAP. Works great, except for a weird deal whenever I send mail. After the email has been sent, if I go to trash, I'll find multiple copies of the sent email sitting there. I.E.- today I sent a single email(not a reply), and there were 16, yes 16 copies of that sent email in my trash. There was only one copy in the sent mail folder. It's a pain deleting all this stuff.
I set up a new email acct with my new isp. I cancelled service with my old isp, then started Mail. I was prompted for a password for the acct that I no longer have, so I opened preferences and deleted the old acct, now all my old email is gone. Can I get it back somehow?
After creating a new email and send successfully, breakdown of the full content in the mail will appear in the trash box without my intention. The breakdown were in separate uncompleted mail/mails depending on the length of the email. Everytime after a simple email of about 3-5 sentences comprising of less then 30 words, 5 - 10 separate trash box mail appeared. it worst when duration is longer while creating the email.
I've had my 13 Macbook Pro for about a month and have noticed smudges on the keyboard and was wondering the best ways in removing. I've used some basic keyboard wipes from WalMart but they aren't very effective. They get the surface well but it still shows a good shadow of smudge and a reflection where the keys, almost looks like a wear.
I have noticed that my HD space is just disappearing. I have turned off Time Machine Snapshots, so that is not the source of problem. When I go to "About Mac" and "More Info" and Storage it is showing "Others" as taking about 170 GB. The only notable software I have installed are MS Office and HP Printer utilities. Any way to check that is eating up my hard disk space?Â
Info: MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)
I would like to be able to store deleted emails indefinitely until I empty the trash mailbox. Even though I check "never" in the mailbox behavior, it only keeps the messages for 30 days.
I have replaced many of LCD in PowerBooks and one of the things I noticed is after you remove the aluminum panel there's a little round magnet on the back of the LCD... What is this for? I have also seem a handful of cases where pressure applied to the back panel has caused this magnet to crack the LCD.
