How can I hear the unique text tones assigned to my contacts in iMessage?

I have unique text and ring tones assigned to my contacts in iOS. I've begun to use Yosemite for texting and calling and would like to have the same tones for my contacts alert me from my Macbook Pro.

Hi,
iChat (the app before it became Messages) and Messages used to do this up until Mavericks and the "real" Messages 8.
Messages 8 in Mavericks did away with the ability to change or set individual Sounds as the Alerts Pane in the preferences went west (was removed).
It was replaced by a setting in the General Section that can only change the Messages Received sound.
There are now Alert and Ringtones stored in a ToneLibrary.framework in the /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
These are also caf files as opposed to the Aiff files that were used before.
there is no linking for the System Sounds (Alerts in System Preferences > Sound > Sound effects tab) or the User's own ~/Library/Sounds.
This and the loss of the Format Menu and the Messages Pane in the Preferences to set Font and Styles and colours for Non iMessages accounts is sorely missed by many people.
Edit to remove a double ss  at the  word as  ( at ... as opposed to...)

  • How can I "hear" the outgoing fax?

    When I fax a document from my MBP, using File/Print/Fax PDF, how can I hear the dial town and fax tone (so I can tell if it's going out, or it's busy, or whatever)?

    In System Preferences head for "Network", select your modem in the table at the left, click "Advanced" and turn sound on.

  • How can I list the head texts or texts of position of the invoices created

    hello experts
    I have a consultation.

    You can use T-Code VF05 or VF05N to generate list of Invoices with range of selection criterias...
    The concerned tables for the same are VBRK & VBRP.
    Let us know should you require any further help..

  • My Word for Mac 2011 repeatedly fails to display certain text boxes if I apply text changes. How can I view the invisible text?

    I have Mac OS X 10.6.8. I recently had to download Office for Mac 2011, as my company mandated this over my objections. On the first 20-page Word file I received, the file looked fine until I applied track changes and made the first edit. At that point, 2 pages of text disappeared (the entire file was Calibri 11 size). The disappearing text was all in a couple of text boxes separate from the rest of the file. If I did a search, it would point to the white screen, but I could not view it except in Web layout, which is unsuitable for track changes. Unfortunately, all my supervisors say they can see the text that I cannot see.
    I know that Word 2011 is notorious for not reading fonts, but this file is all in the same font/size. How can I see the hidden text before I lose my job?

    Have you tried Word for Mac?
    You will need to test if links survive export or printing to .pdf

    How can I change the default text color (black to blue) in Mail on out going email with Mountain Lion

    There really aren't default outgoing font settings. They are only there for viewing. A workaround I have seen mentioned is to start you signature with the font style you want to use. When you start your message, click in that first part of your signature.
    Something like
    defaults

  • How can i change the default text "Query by Example"

    how can i change the default text *"Query by Example"* in a Panel Collection
    Thx

    Hi thieto,
    The label you are looking for is af_panelCollection.LABEL_MENUITEM_QBE*
    I'm currently writing a blogpost on this issue. In short, you will have to create a skin resource bundle.
    In the skin definition, refer to this bundle class.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    <skins xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/skin">
      <skin>
        <id>mySkin.desktop</id>
        <family>MySkin</family>
        <extends>blafplus-rich.desktop</extends>
        <render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id>
        <style-sheet-name>skins/MySkin.css</style-sheet-name>
        <bundle-name>com.blogspot.lucbors.view.bundles.MySkinBundle </bundle-name>
      </skin>
    </skins>In this class, adjust the label text to your needs.
    package com.blogspot.lucbors.view.bundles;
    import java.util.ListResourceBundle;
    public class MySkinBundle extends ListResourceBundle {
      public MySkinBundle() {
        super();
    @Override
      public Object[][] getContents() {
        return _CONTENTS;
    static private final Object[][] _CONTENTS = {
         {"af_panelCollection.LABEL_MENUITEM_QBE","the text that you want"}
    }More in the blogpost
    Good luck

  • How can i change the undisclosed text of Detail Disclosure in a table

    Hi.
    I have a new OAF page, with an advanced table.
    The table has a Detail Disclosure (a row-level Hide/Show in a table).
    By default, the prompt is "Show" or "Hide" for disclosed/undisclosed state.
    I need to change this text to another text, like"payment".
    How can i change the text of the table Detail Disclosure?
    Please help...

    I found this reference in the guide:
    In accordance with BLAF guidelines, the Detail column header text for the detail disclosure column and the Show/Hide link texts within the cells of the detail disclosure column can not be modified.
    I guess it is currently not possible.

  • How can I change the order of phone numbers in a contact?

    I have contacts that have more than one phone number (I am sure we all have those in this day and age). The importance of the phone numbers varies over time and I want to have the most important one as first on the list. How can I change the order that phone numbers are displayed within a contact?
    Thanks for any help.

    Currently, the order in which the phone numbers appear (in a contact) is dependent on the sequence to which you enter them. There is no way to change that order other than re-entering them in the desired order.
