E-mail audio

Hi, sorry about the dumb question, but I've used the keyword search in iTunes, Quicktime, and Tiger and I still haven't found a thread.
How do I e-mail audio clips that are 30-60 seconds in length? The files I'm wishing to mail are .aif at about 10-15megs. When I export using Quicktime Conversion into .AVI format, they reduce to 2-4 megs, but that's still much larger than these tiny 5kb .asf files that come from the web or which come from other people mailing audio files to me. The person I need to send them to is on a Windows machine.
Thanks, Harvey

ASF files are small because they contain no audio data. They are just pointers to audio files on a server. The file contains just a URL that tells the audio software where to download the file from.
All I can suggest is either splitting the sound file in half or adjusting the encoding settings until you get a balance between file size and quality. Compressor supports more compressed formats like AC3 but these are designed for DVD audio and are not readily playable in most audio players.

Is there a way to transfer visualvoice mail audio files to desktop?

Is there a way to transfer visualvoice mail audio files to desktop?

None that I'm aware of but with the iPhone SDK - software developers kit being released at the end of next month, a 3rd party software developer may provide an avenue for this function and you can leave Apple feedback about this here.

Mail audio quit working

Audio related to my mail alerts stopped working. What to do?

I think you need to post in the Mail forum.

Ok i have a 3g iphone and in my car i have a pioneer avic-3 audio-dvd-gps-cd-ipod,etc it word fine until today...i tried to connect to my voce mail and will not route the voice mail audio thru my pioneer and speakers...

i have a 3g iphone & a pioneer avic-d3 car reciever...the bluetooth unit pairs with the phone anwsers and dials, auto connects, no problem...until today it won't connect with my voicemail as it stays connected...i have the latest up grade on the iphone and its only 2 weeks old and it worked fine for the time i had it...its a used phone!

I tried that method too and shile it will work, one false move and you can slice too deep. The option that worked for me was to buy the original iPod shuffle lanyard case. it comes with a short (3 inches) headphone extension cable where the male end fits in the iphone jack. it was $4 on ebay.

Audio has ceased when at Amazon and with e-mails with audio attachments. This only during last few days previously O.K. Windows Media Player still working so no problem with speakers only happens with online audio. John

Operating system Windows 7. A few days ago no problems with audio, clear sound when listening to e-mail audio attachments and Amazon music samplers. During last 2/3 days both attachments and samplers fail to work, but when playing music from library held in Windows Media Player no problems. This would appear to show no problem with speakers etc and I have not knowingly amended any audio controls.

Thank you so much for replying.
Yes I have removed and reinstalled WMP.
I had good results with the PD6 application installed on the default path onto the C: drive with the one exception that if the application was launched by accident and the user data path was not available, the PD6 application would blow away my custom user path registry settings. Now that I know what they are I have made a .reg file to repair my registry to my desired user data paths.
Installing the application on the removable drive appeared to help prevent me from launching the application by accident and overwriting my registry with default user paths.
So which is the less of the two evils?
If the application directory is not available, windows media player still tries to launch the .msi for installing PD6.
If I install the application to the C: drive but the user data to the removable drive, launching the PD6 application without the user data drive will still corrupt my registry settings for a user data path.
Both these issues seem like a logical (if not easy) fix that should be done in the PD6 application and installation package. I mean really, cannot anyone tell me why windows media player is checking the PD6 application directory? Why in PD4 did we have an option control for setting the user data path from the PD4 application? Why is this option not in the PD6 application, just the installer?
I am given a choice during installation to move the user data to another non default location. Why else would this be provided if not to accommodate my kind of request to store the user data into an alternate location other than “My Document”. Certainly Palm is not trying to force the users on how to protect and store their personal data?

How to send notification to IM client?

Dear all,
When a client receives a mail - audio or video mail, the client needs to be notified?
How is this achieved?
Rgds,
Seetesh

Yes I agree. But there must be some service provider who does the forwarding of messages provided it has the valid email addres and the IM Gateway information.
The Gateway of different IM clients along with their port nos can be configured using a Factory and then checking the email address, the service provider can relay back the messages present for that user on that IM.

Trying to setup Unique Mailbox Sounds...

This is pretty basic I know, but I haven't found a way to setup a differnet "New Mail" Audio bit for each of my mail accounts that I have setup in MAIL.
I see how to setup different audio bits, but it changes for everyone of the accounts, and not for the individual accounts, and I have like 4 of them. One inparticular, I would like to have a unique "Ching Ching" audio bit that plays when a new mail comes in, and can't figure out how to isolate it to the one email account.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Matt

Integration with Cisco Call Manager?

We have Cisco VOIP phones and we would like to continue managing calls with Cisco Call Manager. We currently have voicemail on Cisco Unity. We currently have Exchange 2010, but plan to start using Exchange 2013 soon.
However, we would like to migrate voicemail service from Cisco Unity to Exchange Unified Messaging and also want to take advantage of most of the voicemail-related features of UM such as voice to text sent to email, voice mail waiting indicator light on
the phones and sending voice mail audio attachments to email.
Is Exchange 2013 Unified Messaging compatible Cisco phones that are managed by Cisco Call Manager?
We have 500 users and 2 Exchange 2010 servers (1 CAS and 1 Mailbox Server). We now have a few Exchange 2013 licenses available in addition to our existing 2010 licenses that are already used on our existing 2 servers. Can we keep the 2 existing
Exchange 2010 servers as they are and create a new Unified Messaging server on Exchange 2013 in the same environment or do we need to upgrade all the 2010 servers to 2013 if we use Unified Messaging on 2013?

Hi Sachin,
We do run a hybrid Callmanager to Nortel Meridian setup (works well).

Did most recent Audio update to OSX and Mail.app went insane.

I switched to the Mac in... November? and have absolutely loved it. This has been my first catastrophic experience thus far and I'm used to Windows being a part time job to manage so I'm not complaining.
However, late last week OSX installed an audio update of some sort and when I rebooted mail.app had seemingly lost it's mind:
1. IMAP accounts constantly go offline and then back online at random time intervals. This problem I actually had occasionally before but now it's a constant annoyance.
2. Frequently getting "The message from "somebody" concerning "something" has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it." error message for messages that have a. already been downloaded and b. who's accounts are showing as online. FYI, yes I do have mail.app set to download and keep a copy of the messages locally.
3. Some messages (I can't find a pattern but it's about 5% of the messages) download repeatedly and appear in the inbox as many as 51 times. The only solution to this seems to be to log into the IMAP account's webmail access and delete the "offending" message.
4. An account can be online and yet not show all the messages that are in the inbox. I know this because if I log into the webmail I can see them.
5. Seemingly randomly the rules are ignored. Typically I can select a message and then tell mail to apply rules and then it works but why didn't the rule happen on it's own as usual.
6. The general "Inbox" sometimes doesn't show new items in the individual account inboxes until I go and click on those individual account inboxes and then come back to the general inbox.
Info about my system/setup:
a. I have 4 IMAP accounts.
b. I store messages on the IMAP server.
c. The "fullest" IMAP account has roughly 500 MB in it but is set to have 2.4 GB capacity on the IMAP server. That account also has 48 personal folders on it, and has had them for a little over a month. After reading about smart folders, I intend to consolidate many of these into an "Archives" folder.
d. The other IMAP accounts are each set to have 1+ GB of available server storage but each have under 100 MB used.
e. I use SpamSieve for email (love it, by the way)
f. I have a demo of MailTags running (it's been since mid-June and I've only played around with tagging a few emails so far but I intend to use iGTD once I get Mail back under control)
What I've tried:
1. I read that it's better to do the consolidated updates than the incremental ones so three times now I've tried to download the consolidated OSC 10.4.10 update but it never fully downloads. I'm not sure what's the deal with that as I've downloaded 300-400MB files over my internet connection at other times without difficulty.
2. I read that you can delete the folders in mail.app and let it rebuild them from the IMAP folder... a. from what I read, I'm not clear on the procedure for doing this safely b. I have a lot of folders to deal with and c. the only places I've read about it is from people commenting in forums that it didn't help them.
So... any suggestions?

At least one of the problems you have appears to be some index corruption, and I have the feeling that MailTags has a bearing on it. I don’t think you’ll be able to completely solve the problems you have without uninstalling that first...
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Move any “IMAP-”, “Mac-”, or “Exchange-” account folders to the Trash. Note that you can do this with IMAP-type accounts because they store mail on the server and Mail can easily re-create them. DON’T trash any “POP-” account folders, as that would cause all the mail stored there to be lost.
5. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
6. As a side effect of having removed the IMAP account folders, those accounts may be in an “offline” state now. Do Mailbox > Go Online to bring them back online.
Given the amount of mail you have on the server, I expect it to take a fair amount of time for Mail to fully re-create the index and bring all the mailboxes back online. Again, I strongly encourage you to uninstall MailTags before doing that.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Hi,
Firstly, your country is detemined by several factors, including your phone's regional settings, your SIM card and your NokiaAccount settings, if you used this phone whilst abroad then you may need to check that your regional and account settings are up to date since you have arrived in Canada.
For services like Gigs, you should also ensure that the MixRadio app has access to your phone's GPS location as well as the main location being on in the phone settings. To check this, as well as Location being turned on in the phone settings, in MixRadio itself go to Settings>Location>On:
The concern with favourites may also be related to location, if the music from certain artists is available in Canada but not where the service might think you are, availability of content may vary from region to region.
If all settings in both the phone, your Nokia Account and the MixRadio app are correct, we may have to investigate deeper.
It is impossible to comment on your camera without seeing it, you cold have the phone checked by Nokia Care locally, but of course if it was supplied in Europe it will be covered by the European Limited Warranty which is not valid in Canada.
If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.

How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail

How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail?
My computer is Windows 7 and my Itunes software version is 1.0.2
Many thanks in advance...

iTunes 1.0.2 is +at least+ eight years old.
The current version is 9.2, and it's free.
If that was a typo, and you're using something more current:
In the iTunes preferences, change the import settings to mp3.
Then select the songs you wish to convert.
From the "Advanced" menu, choose "Create mp3 version".
When done, change the import settings back to Apple Lossless.
That's it.
BTW, this is the Logic Pro forum, which has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes.

Sending audio file using Mac Mail

What would be the best way to send a short audio clip using Mac Mail to recipients who all have PC's?

All I know is sometimes I receive documents, audio or video clips from friends who have PC's and they can't be played or opened up on my Mac because I don't have the proper applications to open them.
I would assume the reverse could also happen depending on the program that created them.
As an example: What if I send an audio clip taken from my iTunes Library and the person who receives it doesn't have iTunes and the only other program they have is Windows Media Player. Will they be able to open this file up?
Thanks.

.au audio files in e-mail attachments play too fast

How can I get .au audio file attachments in e-mails to play at normal speed? For some reason they play so fast that I can't understand what the person speaking is saying. It's very frustrating.

The mail app will only recognize what it is programmed to recognize. There are many files that work on desktop computers that don't play on the iPhone. Some of apples own office docs will not open on the iPhone while MS office docs will.
Apple does not list all files the iPhone does support, but the audio support does not include GSM. If the phone doesn't know how to decode it, the Mail app can't play it either.
From Apple iPhone tech specs:
Audio formats supported: AAC, Protected AAC, MP3, MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, and 4), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV

My iphone 4 speakers stopped giving me sounds when i play audio or video even while gaming. It works fine when ringing tunes of for voice mails. What is wrong with it?

My iphone 4 speakers stopped giving me sounds when i play audio or video even while gaming. It works fine when ringing tunes of for voice mails, even works fine with headsets. What is wrong with it?

well i'd seriosly say point a hot hair drier at the speakers as water has entered the phone most commonly via the home button but avoid getting it too hot let it cool every 3 minutes after constant drying. Don't worry I have honestly dont this with my iPhone 4 GSM 16GB. For future reference avoid letting it get wet.
