How do I get Sound to announce incoming iMessages?

Is there a way to enable some sound to announce incoming iMesages (texts)?

If by "announce" you mean read the text of the message, no. If you mean simply a notification sound, go to Settings>Sounds>Text Tone and choose an alert sound.

  • How do I get sound on my TV from mo macbook pro?

    How do I get sound on my TV from mo macbook pro?

    Depends on what you want to do, do you want to play music or video?
    If you have a Macbook that supports thunderbolt just connect it with a hdmi cable (if you want picture as well). If your mac doesn't support thunderbolt you could connect via the standard headphone jack. But still it depends on what you want to do. So...
    What do you want to play... (music, video)?
    What does your tv support (hdmi, digital audio (s/pidf?)?
    This helps narrowing down your solution.

  • How do I get sound to work  for games...?

    How do I get sound to work for game apps, when I have sound for other items on ipad2?

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • How do I get sound out when I plug in a USB mic?

    How do I get sound out when I plug in a USB mic?  I cannot hear my instrument tracks either.  It will record my vocals, but I can't hear them.  If I unplug the mic and restore the internal devices, then I can hear all tracks, including the vocals.  I'm sure there's a simple solution.

    Hi
    Prior to Logic 9, you cannot separately choose Input/Output audio devices, so you either have the USB Mic, or the Built-in audio (or an external audio interface).
    To set up for 'mixed' devices, you need to use AudiMIDI Setup (Utilities folder) to create an Aggregate Device.

    Note that I recall that it was 'sensitive' to which order you create the devices with some USB Mics.

  • How do I get sound when I record videos on my ipad?

    I can record videos using the camera app - however, there is not sound.  How do I get sound?

    Thanks - this is good to know.  I actually ended up going to Google - which took me to Youtube - which showed me my volume button.  Oy.  I felt sheepish.  However, this is on loan to me from my work - and up until now - it has "lived" in a manila folder in my file cabinet.  For a first day, I'm doing well. 
    It's good to know that I can inadvertantly cover the microphone myself.  Thanks!

  • How do you get sound to work on 1st generation

    please help , how do you get sound on a first generation ipod touch. No sound is coming out ( I tried headphones but still no sound).

    The 1st gen iPod Touch does not have an internal speaker so you will only get sound through earphones.
    You could try another pair of earphones, check the volume settings, restart/reset the iPod, etc.

  • TS4268 how do i get my conversations from my imessages from my iphone to my computers imessages

    how do i get my contacts and previous imessages from my iphone to my computers imessage

    Syncing the device has nothing to do with iMessage.
    If iMessage is enabled using the same Apple ID on both devices, messages should automatically sync between multiple devices.
    This may not be a feature of iOS, as I do not have multiple iDevices or a Mac I cannot say definitively.
