Curve 9360 custom sound alerts for messages will not work. Tried EVERYTHING.

I have a brand spanking new BlackBerry Curve 9360 that just arrived yesterday.  It is great apart from this very frustrating small prob.  I can not customise my message alerts for individual people in my address book.  When I click on "try it" only the LED button flashes and there is no sound or vibration.  I am trying to get the sound and vibrate to play as "active profile" but it just won't.  I can override it and have custom volume and vibrate that plays no matter what the profile but as I sometimes like to set my main profile to vibrate or silent, it won't do.
So far, to fix it, I have tried:
Wiping profile and sounds from the blackberry software
Full factory reset
Creating my own profile and using that instead of "normal" or any of the other preset ones
Loads of battery pulls before and/or after any changes
I have also had a few different people text me to make sure the problem isn't just the "try it" feature.  It isn't.  The sound that plays is always the default message sound for whatever the default profile is.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated
Deb

I have also experienced exactly the same problem.
The profile is set on normal, with the ringer volume on 10, the ring tone has been selected, and I have also selected the option of the vibrator along with the ring tone.
Now here is the problem, initially it rings and works perfectly, however it seems to automatically turn off the volume so the LED light keeps flashing, however there is not ring tone or vibration.
If you select the "normal" profile or any other profile and change the ring tone or the volume, and click on the try it icon at the bottom, it still only flashes the LED, with no sound.
Have tried everything that you have mentioned in your email, however still unable to rectify the issue. the only way to rectify is it to hard stop the BB, by pulling out the battery and restarting the Blackberry.
Can anyone help or suggest what needs to be done ?

  • Sound Alert for Incoming Mail Not Working

    I have searched for a solution to above but not found any. All settings are correct in Mail Preferences and Sound Preferences but the lack of a sound alert when mail arrives still persists.
    This problem exists on all three Macs - 15' MBP, 24 iMac and 27" iMac - how weird is that?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Joe

    Joe, go to Mail --> Preferences --> Accounts. Now do this in each account affected - click Advanced and uncheck "Use IDLE command if the server supports it".
    Now send yourself some test messages. You should now hear the new mail chime. Let us know if this resolves your issue. Cheers!

  • Folder Actions will not work - tried everything

    Recently Folder Actions simply stopped working on 10.6.4. They worked fine before then recently just stopped working.
    I've tried everything I can think of, including:
    1. completely removing enabling & disabling & enabling folder actions through the setup app.
    2. trashing folder actions plist files in user domain and relaunching
    3. disabling related launchd processes with lingon
    4. trashing launch agents in user domain and also trying to unload them in terminal
    5. trying to kill the folder actions dispatcher process in activity monitor (just relaunches, as it should)
    6. emptying system caches including dyld shared cache using cocktail
    7. doing most of the above and restarting
    It's driving me nuts. Any other ideas?
    here's some entries from syslog:

    I finally go Folders Action to work, after being unable to use it even for a simple beep for years now.
    Here is what I did:
    1. Changed permissions to 755 for the following folder and two contained files (note that 775 didn't work for me)
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FolderActions.folders.plist
    2. Changed the following lines within ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist (using TextWrangler)
    from:
    <key>OnDemand</key>
    <false/>
    to:
    <key>OnDemand</key>
    <true/>
    Prior to the permissions changes within #1 above, the value of <true/> kept getting changed back to <false/> by something in the system... and though
    there was improvement by the permissions changes, the following console message appeared until false was changed to true.
    com.apple.FolderActions.enabled[4127] launchctl: Error unloading: com.apple.FolderActions.folders
    At this point true is staying true, and not being changed by unknown forces to false, and the above message is not appearing.
    3. The only other thing I did prior to #1 and #2 above, was to run the script (unsaved),
    tell application "/System/Library/CoreServices/Folder Actions Dispatcher.app" to tick
    This little tell line caused something to occur where my Folder Action surprised me and worked for the first time though it took about 30 seconds and was erratic,
    sometimes performing, sometimes not, though if I would do move something into the folder to trigger the action that should occur, and did not occur, then at the point
    running the above tell line or script would cause the action to occur.
    4. At this point I don't fool with the tell line or script from #3, and it seems that systemevents has gotten involved, as well as launchd, and with my simple Folder Action script
    I'm getting the folder action within 10 seconds compared to 30 to 45 if ever seconds.
    5. This is still too early to tell if this is the wonder pill I've needed since Leopard, and now Snow Leopard (and maybe Tiger as well: I forget when I even tried Folder Actions).
    There was a time when I moved things around, so that the items normally found in the former AppleScript folder, were placed elsewhere in subfolders, so I don't know if that lead to this...
    because I could get Folder Actions to work on Macs in the Applestore, but not my own Mac. Watching the console messages was helpful. I don't think it's a big concern that
    deprecated messages are found sometimes. That's a just a normal part of the constantly rebuilding of things that goes on. It's more like a reminder that we've got an upgraded
    OEM part were going to start using, and the older part won't be available after such and such date, so program accordingly, and in the meantime drive.

  • How do I clear the message usage under settings to open ip more space on my phone?  Clearing the actual messages will not work.

    How do I clear the messages in order to free up storage space?  Just clearing the actual messages will not work!!!

    It doesn't sound like the Exchange environment is configured in a manner to support these types of clients very well.  Have your Exchange team look at the following
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/10/18/supporting-windows-mail-8-1-in-your-organization.aspx
    From the latter article: "Communications applications can connect to a corporate Exchange service
    configured to require certificate-based authentication. User authentication certificates can be provisioned to Windows 8.1 devices by administrators or end-users can browse to certificate and install to user certificate storage."
    You might want to:
    Ask your Exchange team the public URLs (ExternalURL) for Exchange OWA & ActiveSync
    Open the OWA URL in your Internet Explorer from your Surface
    If you get a Certificate warning, open the certificate and select Install (NOTE: You may have to install the entire certificate chain).  Your desktop support team should be able to support this because it is the SAME process for standard Windows 8x
    desktops.
    Confirm that you can open OWA on your surface with no more certificate or security warnings.  NOTE: The Exchange team will have to configured OWA properly.
    Once confirmed, repeat the same steps for the activesync URL that they provided.
    When done, try using the OWA OR ActiveSync URL value in your settings of your Mail client.
    Good Luck

  • Lion - 2004 MS Office for Mac will not work

    My 2004 version of Microsoft Office for Mac will not work in Lion. I suspect because this is a PowerPC application. My question is this:
    Is there any program out there which will map the PowerPC to an Intel format? Other than trying to seel more products, I am surprised that Apple does not supply a mapping program for products made by Microsoft for the Apple devices.

    Eric, can you tell me where please? It's not mentioned on the Lion compatibility pages at all. (http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/what-is/compatibility.html) nor on the 'how to upgrade' page (http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/how-to-buy/)

  • I just purchased myself an iPad.  I set it up and now my messages will not work on it.

    The title of your post says "now my messages will not work".

    Doesn't make sense.
    Is this an iMessage problem or Mail problem?

  • ICloud for pc not working tried everything

    iCloud for pc not working tried everything ( uninstall - reinstall - delete files - old versions ) nothing helps it just downloads a couple of photos and off again my iPhone uploads perfectly as all the pics goes to the iPad seamlessly, Please Help i'm on windows 8.1 x64, Thanks

    I think that the card reader may in fact be defective, but it just doesn't make sense if I have already used it fine before. I've tried everything on this Apple support page, thank you though.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • No sound alerts for messages or phone calls since upgrade

    I too had no sound alerts for calls or messages since upgrading but then I discovered that the 'Do Not Disturb' option had been somehow switched on after I upgraded. If you have a moon icon at top corner of your screen that's what's happened. You need to go into Settings>DoNotDisturb and switch it off. It worked for me so hope it helps someone else.

    Look in the Notifications settings to see if the update turned them off there.  If they are turned on and you are still not getting alers on the lock screen, reset your phone. Hold down Home and Power buttons at the same time, wait for Apple logo to appear and wait for the phone to reboot itself.
    See if you get alerts with the phone locked.  If you still don't get alerts, do a Reset Network Settings reset, Settings => General => Reset => Reset Network Settings.  You will have to re-enter your wifi passwords.
    If this doesn't help do a Reset All Settings reset.  You won't lose any data or content , but the settings on the phone will all be reset to factory defaults and you will need to go in and turn the things you turned on and off on and off again.

  • I am on Mac OS 10.6.7 and Java Plug-in 2 for NAPI will not work in FF4.0?

    When trying to attend a webinar which uses the Java 2 NAPI plug-in I get an error message in FF 4.0 saying I need to install thiis plug-in, which is already installed. I have gone to the add-on manager and disabled this plug-in restarted and enabled it again, but it still will not work.
    Any ideas?

    I forgot one detail. This happened while I was having trouble seeing the mouse cursor (I use Apple's Magic Mouse). It had disappeared briefly. I had to drag the cursor out of the Firefox Window for it to reappear. I accidentally entered full screen view while the cursor was not visible.

  • Changed Apple ID password, now iMessage for iPad will not work

    Hey there,
    I changed my Apple ID password this morning but when I tried to use iMessage on my iPad this evening - and was prompted for the new password - iMessage would no longer work. My Apple ID and my iMessage email addresses are different and, although I would like to believe this is the problem, the fact is the messages are being sent to my email inbox rather than to my iPad iMessage app. Further, the "send" button is disabled when I try to send anything from the iPad.
    Any ideas?

    Also, I just tried FaceTime and that is also not working.
    The email address I would like to use appears in the list of email addresses in Settings>iMessage, but it is greyed out so I cannot access it. My apple id keeps appearing there despite my constant clicking on "forget this address." I tried using my apple id as the default email address but even that will not work.
    I'm about ready to throw all things iDevice at a wall!

    I think I understand what you mean so try this and see if it lets you get back into your settings.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • JMS destination key used for message ordering not working

    Hi there,
    i'm using Weblogic 10.3. I've been trying to implement ordering of messages using a destination key assigned to a JMS message queue. The default ordering is FIFO (it uses the JMSMessageID in ascending order for this).
    According to documentation (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/ConsoleHelp/taskhelp/jms_modules/destination_keys/ConfigureDestinationKeys.html) one can also configure the queue to behave in a LIFO manner by creating a destination which sorts on the JMSMessageID in a descending order.
    I have tried this, it does not work. I have also played with different message priority settings and tried to sort on the JMSPriority field of the messages in ascending and descending order, it changes nothing. Messages keep being processed in a FIFO manner.
    Has anyone been able accomplish message ordering other than FIFO? Am I missing something?
    Any assistance would be highly appreciated!

    Why not try
    if (_key.keyPressed(TAB)) then
    -- DO WHATEVER CONDITION
    end if
    im not sure if that is the correct way of telling the system
    to use the TAB key but this works for RETURN when the user hits the
    enter key, so if u substitute the TAB for the command to use the
    TAB key im sure it will work
    im sorry if it doesnt tho, but its worth a try if your still
    struggling
