After downloading the latest osx update I find that my speech alerts only work on things that need attention but won't work when I get mail. I am using Gmail and it was ok before I updated, has anyone else had this problem ?

After downloading the last OS X update ,I can no longer get the speech to work in my gmail account to tell me I have mail
It will alert me to anything that needs attention except mail
any ideas would be appreciated

The last OS update for SL was OS 10.6.8.  If that's the case you posted in the wrong forums.  You should be posting in the SL forums. 
If you are using Mail for your Gmail account, did you check the sound settings in Mail Preferences?  Please detail what you have done so far in the way of troubleshooting?   Need this info to avoid the "been there done that" scenarios.

  • Recently updated to 3.8.2 v1.1 and since then my mac crashes a lot, and can't handle simple tasks. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I recently got told about the new software update for OS Yosemite.  It was version 3.8.2 v1.1 and since then my mac crashes a lot, and can't handle simple tasks. Like playing a 3 minute song, checking emails, and even whilst typing this its crashed so many more times than i've lost count. Has anyone else had this problem? And what do you recommend I do?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Yahoo email stopped pushing after ios6.0.1 update, has anyone else had this problem? Iphone5

    Yahoo email stopped pushing the day the ios6.0.1 update came out. Managed to get it back Saturday night, but stopped again last night. I have tried every trick I found in the forums short of restoring my phone, but don't really want to do that if I can help it, since Yahoo push has been sporadic in the past with all my iPhones & don't know if it will even help. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this as well. Thank you.

    I haven't tried anything as of yet. I just had this happen like an hour ago n haven't had time to troubleshoot. I did however do a soft reset but haven't written another email to see if its still going on. Im at work n dont have much time until morning.

  • I have an iphone 4 and my camera will not focus.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    I have an iphone 4 and my camera will not focus when I try to take a picture or a video.  Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with it?

    Hi there jeri289,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • I have the latest version of Pages 5.2 but I keep getting a message saying I must download the newest version to open my file, has anyone else had this problem?

    I have the latest version of Pages 5.2 but I keep getting a message saying I must download the newest version to open my file, has anyone else had this problem?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • HT204406 some of the songs i have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds? Has anyone else had this problem?

    Some of the songs I have downloaded from iclouds cut out after about 50 seconds when i play them? Has anyone else had this problem and if so did you manage to fix it.
    Thanks

    I've had this happen several times... I suspect the download was interrupted for some unreported reason so it only has a partial file or has a corrupt byte in the file it failed to catch.
    Just delete the local copy and re-download from the cloud and they play fine.

    i no longer have video capability on my ipad mini after downloading ios7. has anyone else had this problem?

    Describe the problem. Won't show videos? Won't take videos? Or other?
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
     Cheers, Tom

  • I recently updated my iTunes to the new version. For some reason the titles and details of songs on the SONGS page do not appear, although the songs will play. Has anyone else had this problem? Every other page seems to be ok.

    I recently updated my iTunes to the new version. When I opened it I found that there were no details listed on the SONGS page. On all other pages the relevant pictures/details appear. Although there are no details showing on the songs page, the songs are obviously there as when you click on a line it plays the song that should be listed. Has anyone else had this problem? (I am using a Windows XP Pro system on my Laptop).

    Did anyone ever suggest you reset your PRAM?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    Also might want to try resetting the SMC, although I
    doubt there's an issue there.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
    I'm getting tired of people who supposedly know what
    they're doing simply guessing that resinstalling the
    OS might solve the issue. It's like trying to dissect
    a frog with a sledge hammer, and wondering why you
    didn't learn anything about anatomy in the process.
    These sorts of things, although bizarre, should be
    (and probably are) fixable without major surgery.
    Thanks for the suggestion... but I think my first question would be why these parameters would need re-setting? This is a new machine... It has never been shut down hard. It is used at most 10 hours per week... mostly using Office 2004 for MAC. I need to figure this out as I will soon need it as a Cs2/CS3 - Aperture workhorse.
    I too agree that it is best not to use a sledge when a scalpel is needed... but as a novice to the MAC world I may have been misled by Apple support. I seems to have fixed the symptoms ( some) but appears NOT to have addressed the cause... which is what I am after.
    Would TechTool Pro detect a bad HD or RAM?
    Thanks....

  • When trying toedit a text message on my iphone5 the edit bubble will pop up but it is no responsive for about thirty seconds before it will respond to the key functions. It just lags behind. Has anyone else had this problem and if so is there a fix?

    I rarely record automation, and when I do I never do a second pass (usually hand draw automation in) but I have had problems with Logic 7 no longer playing back automation. I've been told its fixed in Logic 8, but in the mean time here is a work around.
    Select the region where the automation is (if there is no region, create one using the pencil tool and expand it to cover all automation) and go OPTIONS menu -> TRACK AUTOMATION -> "Move current track data to region data." Now everything should play back as expected. If you want to edit the data, simply select "move current region data to track data" and edit away.
    For some reason, Logic 7 will sometimes stop reading track automation data, but I have yet to have it stop reading region automation. This is a bug, and according to other users, has been fixed in Logic 8. Hope this helps until we eventually upgrade

  • HT4623 My camera just recently went blurry. It was working just fine yesterday but then I went to use it today and the pictures are so fuzzy. Has anyone else had this problem with their iPhone 5?

    1st... make sure nothing's covering/smudging the camera lens.  then...
    Standard troubleshooting...
    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Remove the Camera app from Recently Used list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete the Camera app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Restart the Camera app
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.
