Apple Mail no longer makes the "woosh" sound when sending mail
OS X 10.7.3, MBP
The other sounds seem to work in Mail. I have the sounds-on options checked (having turned them off and on again). It worked yesterday as far as I can remember. I have restarted the MBP three times since yesterday. I had a "finder not responding" problem on shut-down last night, which I resolved by killing Finder in Activity Monitor. I'm wondering if something has been corrupted. I have the 10.7.3 combo update downloaded (and installed), and my inclination is to re-install it, but I wanted to see if anyone knows a simpler solution. I do have regular Time Machine backaups available. Perhaps the Mail plist file would be worth restoring? Advice appreciated
Yes, I have been in there, turning things off and on again.
However, it seems to be fixed now. What I did was a full Option-Command-Q close down of Mail. After restarting it, the "woosh" is back :-)
I'm so used to doing a simple command-Q to close a program, I forgot to thry the option-command-Q variety. One of these days, I'll remember what to do in Lion :-(

After updating to Mavericks MAIL no longer issues a "whoosh" sound when sending mail. Can I get it back?
If restarting did not resolve the issue, open Mail Preferences and make sure the box next to "Play sounds for other mail actions" is checked.

What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off., What's the deal with the swoosh sound when sending texts? IOS 5.1 needs to have an option to turn it off.
Trax and kirt are correct. I'm pretty good with technology, being an engineer and all, and I can tell you for a fact that this 'swoosh' sound (triggered by a successfully sent SMS) can NOT be disabled from ANY menu in iOS 5. The ONLY way to disable it is to flip the silent switch on the left hand side of the phone. This is extremely annoying for some people (like trax, kirt, and myself). For what we pay for Apple products and, in particular, this phone, we simply didn't expect to have to deal with such annoyances. That's why we're Mac users. Please fix this bug.
I feel like I shouldn't have to say this but it bears repeating: turning off message sounds from the 'sounds' menu does not fix his problem. It still emits the swoosh noise. Whoever suggested this clearly didn't try it because it obviously doesn't work. Who posts a solution to a problem without knowing for a fact that their solution is correct? I find that response condescending because he writer is assuming we're not smart enough to have tried it. In reality, it's vice versa. -
Why does my imac make the unlock sound when it's not in use
On several occasions over the past few days I've heard my iMac make the sounds I associate with unlocking preferences several times while I was not using the machine. Can anyone explain this?
Does any apps are running the background? If yes, check them and close them. Are you using it under any high levels of temperature?

I have an iPod 5. The screen is black, I tried charging it. It makes a bing when I plug it in so power is going to it. When I hold the sleep button and home button to use the camera it takes a pic although the screen stays black the sound is there. I hope someone can help me !!!
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Lost swish sound when sending mail
I seem to have lost the swish sound when sending apple mail... sound is on for all else...
how do I get it back?is there some way to move them to the desktop then dump the main mail folder then - 'get the sound back with fresh account' - then reimport all the settings? (all for less manual work
Let's assume for the moment that you want to do that. You could do this:
Quit Mail.
Go to Home/Library/Mail and copy the entire folder to your Desktop, then delete the Mail folder.
Go to Home/Library/Mail and copy the com.apple.mail.plist file to your Desktop.
Restart Mail and let it find and/or create new mail account folders for you, then see if your sound is back.
However, since you just setup an email account in the test user account and it worked, that points to the problem being with a corrupted Mail preferences file. So, if you just delete that and then restart Mail and setup your accounts again, that may very well solve the problem. -

Good evening ! recently, i noticed that my macbook pro make a weird sound when i open the screen, it's like there is something keeping the screen from moving correctly.the little noise comes exactly from the left side of the axis.please advice me what to do
(i live in morocco and i need to know where i should take ma macbook to get it fixed and if the warranty take this problem in charge)
thank you in advance
macbook pro mid2012 i7 (here is my e-mail adress : [email protected])You should take it to an Apple store or an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) Carefully inspect the hinge joint and make sure there is no debris that you can see, you can try carefully sliding some sticky tape thru the joint to clear any loose stuff out. But this sounds like there might be more going on here, and the hinge is something that you do not want to fool with.

Am having some problems with the sounds on my ipad, specifically my imessage notification sound when your ipad is in sleep mode and someone is messaging you. It seems to work with the swoosh sounds when you are actively messaging back and forth, but as soon as I close my ipad up and is locked or in sleep mode, I don't know anyone is messaging me until I look at my ipad. I've tried a few things.. But nothing has worked so far....Please help!
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.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

Does any one know if Apple is going to make the necessary changes to the new pages program so we can merge our contacts into a letter as before
No.
No more than anyone knew they were going to take away over 90 features.
Have you tried using Pages '09 which should still be in your Applications/iWork folder?

How to make the notification sounds play through EarPods
The notification sounds/ringer on my iPod touch keeps playing through the external speakers even though I have EarPods plugged in. If I turn on a video of game tho, it will play through the earpods. Is it possible to make the notification sounds play through the EarPods as well?
Hi Everyone,
Just in case anyone else runs into this problem here is the solution that i've managed to piece together,
I have a movie clip twice the size of the stage, the movie clip is called bg_mc, here is my actionscript...
bg_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, mouseMoveHandler);
function mouseMoveHandler(event):void
var cursorX = stage.stageWidth - mouseX;
bg_mc.x -= dx / 5;
this action script tells the movieclip to move left and right depending on where the users mouse pointer moves. (it also adds a slight delay to make it look like tweening)
I then published this in Flash using the publish settings shown in the reply above.
Then i went into dreamweaver and removed the margins in the html file
Now the flash file will resize to any screen resolution and will allow the user to move the MC left / right across the screen depending on where the mouse pointer is,
I hope this is helpful,

My mac book keep on beeping and make the beep sound 3 time (same goes to the light) and it won't start up. What should i do?
If you recently installed new ram, make sure it is seated properly.
If that doesn't work try removing one stick at a time to see if one is dead or put original ram back in. -
