Can I turn off sound while keeping incoming mail banner for iPhone4S?

I want to turn off alert sound when I receive incoming mail. I woke up in the middle of the night last becuse of the alert!
However, I enjoying receiving banner messages on my main screen when I receive new mail messages. Can I turn off the sound while keeping the alert messages? Thank you!

Kinda funny... I found this article while searching for an answer to my question:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610
At the very end of the article, it mentions the "bug" that only one app on Windows can play direct sound at a time. That's exactly the "feature" I'm looking for on the Mac. Funny how one person's bug is another's feature.

Can I turn off sound while shooting video?

I'd like to shoot silent vs. having folks have to control sound after the fact. iPad 2 64 3g. Thanks.

If LaPastenague is willing to do a "test", then we will all know more.
Opened my big mouth.
The archive is happening.. I turned off the computer it was setup from.. running Mavericks and latest utility once I got it started. I have been checking from v6 utility on Mountain Lion.. and it is excruciatingly slow. But is running.
I can check the progress but v6 utility is utterly and completely useless.. it continually shows the same numbers.
v5 utility does show it is crawling along.
v6
20min later..
Look, look, there is a tiny blue fleck in the progress bar!!
v5 utility shows the actual progress. Actually tells you total and amount backed up so far.
Amazing how advanced v5 utility is over v6.
The estimate of 10hours is probably correct at the present rate of progress. I suppose for 500GB, around 50GB/hr is about what we expect from TM backups etc.
I will post another picture in an hour and probably kill it then before I die of watching paint dry.

How can I turn off the beep my incoming callers hear when my phone is busy?

How can I turn off the beep my incoming callers hear when my phone is busy?

I appreciate your concern! This feature is unable to be removed. The only way an incoming caller would not hear this particular beep is if a ringback tone is active on the line.

How can I turn off sound controll whele on the Satellite A200

How can I turn off the external sound controll in front of laptop - the wheel? It does not work, sound volume is permanently muted.
OS: MS Windows XP
Thanks

Thank you Jaba,
it is Toshiba Satellite A200 Series. Drivers, its configuration and configuration of operating system is OK. The wheel is mechanical damaged, so that is the point. I have to disable its function in operating system. But where can I disable it? I have tried to uninstall Toshiba utilities (controls, hotkeys), reinstall drivers. I have tried to find an option in BIOS, there was no one.
btw: I am a linux administrator, but I have advanced knowledge of windows systems so you can be short.

Can I turn off Macbook while Time Capsule is archiving Time Machine backup to a USB drive?

My Time Capsule is archiving my Time Machine backup to a USB drive attached to it. I have initiated this process on my macbook (on the same lan with the Time Capsule), on which I am monitoring the archiving progress on the Airport Utility. Still almost a couple of days to go... Can I turn off my Macbook, or will that interrupt the process of archiving?

Can't turn off face tracking on Live! Ultra for Notebooks

Please help! I've installed Live! Ultra for Notebooks and it works reasonably well, except for the fact that I can't turn off the Face Tracking feature.
When I installed everything, I selected "Smart", but I hate the way that the camera keeps panning off to different parts of the room. So, I just want to turn this feature OFF.
But every time I open the Face Tracking Utility, or go to the screen via "Tools," I can click "off". But, it doesn't actually turn off; the camera still keeps panning off to the far corners of the room. And the next time I access the Face Tracking Utility again, it has defaulted back to "Smart". Any suggestions on how to disable this feature?
My system is as follows:
Dell Inspiron 700M
Intel Pentium M 2.00 GHz processor
Windows XP Home Edition, service pack 2
Happy new year & thanks in advance..

Finally figured it out. In case anyone else has the same problem of your computer ignoring changes in the Face Tracking Utility screen, try this:
Go to Webcam Center. Click on "Capture" then the "Source" tab, one of two discrete grey tabs just above the video screen.
Under "Extended Settings" you have the options for face tracking: off, continuous or smart. Click it and your computer should actually hold onto this setting until you change it again!
Good luck.

How can I turn off sound for a single application?

So I'm playing iTunes while browsing the web. I come to a webpage with some really annoying Macromdia Flash content. Lots of noise. I'd like to turn the sound off for my browser (Firefox) without turning off iTunes. Similar problem occurs when I'm playing games ... I'd sometimes like to be able to play my own music instead of the game soundtrack. So I'd like to be able to tell the game to be silent without turning the sound of my Mac off completely.
On my Windows XP machine, whatever application currently has control of the sound is the only one that can make noise. On the Mac the sounds layer together. That's much better in the case of, for example, e-mail app signaling that new mail has arrived. But it is really annoying for the two cases I mentioned above.
Is there any way in the MacOSX operating system to control the volume for a particular application? Is there any other sound control software that folks know about that I should consider acquiring?

Can I turn off TV while downloading rental on Apple TV?

Is it okay to turn off my TV while downloading a rental on Apple TV? Will it continue downloading
or will I have to start the download over if I turn off the TV?
Thanks for your help
Cheers
mrjazz

i recall that when i last rented a movie (HD rental), than i was able to change the source on the TV so that i could watch TV while the rental was downloading on the appletv.
whether turning the TV off would be seen as the same as changing the source would be something that you would need to check on your individual TV though.

I can't turn off sound alerts for mail arrival

I have Mail in Lion configured to not play a sound when mail arrives. However, recently a sound started playing. It's still turned off in the config. I suspect a bug in a recent update to Lion. Has anyone else noticed this?

No wonder nobody else had this problem. It wasn't until I turned the sound off on my Macbook Pro and still heard the sound announcing an arrival of an email that I twigged. I realised that I had Mail open on my Mini to which I have speakers connected. Normally I don't have Mail running on my Mini; hence my confusion.
D'oh!

Apple TV 2010 - Turning off TV while keeping apple TV on

Is there a way to play songs on my apple tv through my receivers(optical output) and turn off the TV?
When I turn off the TV or change inputs on my TV, my apple TV seems moving to standby mode.
This seems to be a waste of energy to keep the TV running when I am just listening to just music via apple TV.

It is not a lag. The audio is completely turned off when I turn off the TV or change the TV input to say "cable"
I called apple support and the support lady tested and said she sees the same behaviour in her setup.
I have a panasonic 42 inch TV. I am wondering if this is related to the TV model.
This is almost certainly an HDMI problem (along with the others) and probably only manifests itself on some TV/AppleTV2 combinations.
AppleTV 1 was fine playing audio over optical with TV off or watching different channel for me on 2 different Panasonic plasmas. If it's a Panasonic problem I may well get this too, but I don't have an ATV2 yet (I'm not sure I want one).

HT1476 how to turn off sound while iPhone is charging?

The chirp noise is totally annoying.
I leave unread mail in my inbox and so that may be why?
Anyway, it makes more noise than any device I've ever owned, and I'm sure there's a setting I can't see to turn it off.
But how?

I have to agree this is the most annoying thing about the iPhone. The chirp when it charges. I had a situation the other night where my phone was on analog roam (uses a lot of power) and ever couple of minutes it would chirp (assume it was because it found a network, charged, and then went analog and discharged and the cycle repeated!!).
The phone was next to my bed since I use it as an alarm clock. Basically using the mute switch toatally makes the iPhone usesless as an alarm clock which is why it was next to my bed! Apple seriously needs to fix this issue.
Dear Apple, please make the battery notification sound user selectable. Thanks.

Can you turn off optimization while splitting events?

I want to move all my many thousands of iPhoto clips down to intermix with my other clips stored on an external drive. All seemed well, I drug them down like the apple tech told me to, but they appeared in a single event, which is bad enough, and the sound is missing, which also *****, but I've found that if I split the EVENTS back into their original date periods the sound comes back. (And I have to do that anyway so they will sort/intermix properly in the event area anyway which was my original goal.)
The PROBLEM is that every time I choose "split event before clip", it takes a minute or so for imovie to OPTIMIZE MOVIES after splitting the event. Since I'm really not planning on doing anything other than splitting these **** events for the next month or so, is there any way to turn that feature off for a while?
For that matter is there any way to speed this process up? Any way at all? All the movies are still in iPhoto, if there was a better way to do it I would. I would just export them and import them directly, but then I lose all the original dates (Though I'm starting to wonder if that would be faster.) I would be willing to buy external software if that would help.
And yes, I realize I could just drag them all down event by event, but that would take longer, because I believe I have to first create an event to drag them into. If that is incorrect let me know. But at least on my computer, creating the event takes just as long as splitting the event, so this method saves me half the time.
It seems like there has got to be a better way to do this.
Or is there any way to split at multiple points?

Flip the mute switch.

Win 8 / IE 10 - can't turn off sounds on background tabs

My autistic son likes to play flash games (Friv.com) on a Lenovo AIO running Win 8, but it's driving us crazy. He opens multiple tabs with multiple games. We get a 'wall of sound' because the active tab and all of the background tabs continue
playing, and we can't figure out a way to mute the background tabs. Any ideas on how to solve this in IE 10 (or is it a setting in Win 8)? TIA.

Hi,
the Zac browser (http://zacbrowser.com ) is a web browser that targets children with learning disabilities. Its a MODAL browser that does not use tabs and attention is focused on the one browser window.
Originally IE did NOT play sounds/animations in background tabs, but users requested otherwise. There is no 'switch' in IE to do what you want to do.... (It might be called the ESP switch)...
Its either all or nothing.
You can mute your sound with one keystroke... usually the f11 key (not function+f11)
