How can I turn off message sound at night?
I have turned on notification sounds for arriving Mail messages using Rules.
This works fine, except that I would like to silence it at night since the sounds actually
interrupt my sleep.
I can do this on my Google smartphone. Why can't I find a way to silence the notifications
at some clock interval?
I have looked in the Sound panel of System Preferences too, but haven't found a way to declare a silent period..
Anyone know how to do this?
I neglected to make it clear in my original post that this problem occurs on an iMac running MacOS 10.7.5.
I saw similar threads referring to the iPhone, but this is a MacOS question..

That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.Dan,
It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
Hope that helps -
All the websites doesn't allow you to turn off the sounds, but that is just the thing I need to do. So how can I turn off the web browsers sounds? This is so small thing, that I refuse to believe that this kind of button doesn't exits.
In Vista you can set the volume and mute setting for each application separately in the volume mixer.
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound. -
How can I turn off messages on iPad while students are at school
Is there any great way to turn off messages on the ipad without shutting down the ports required to connect to Apple on the firewall? Kids will be kids but teachers are pressing administration for solution. If you shut off messages, I may be mistaken but you can't restrict the kid from turning it back on correct?
If you own/control the iPads that run iOS 6, you can turn off Messages via Apple Configurator or an MDM solution and the students would, to the best of my knowledge, not be able to turn that back on without knowing the Restrictions passcode. For personally owned iPads, the only way to block Messages would be to block the ports at your router. Messages uses port 5222, so if you block that port, that should block the transmission of messages, though the students will still try. For more information on ports, see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4245
Of course if the student has a cell connection on a personally-owned device, there won't be any way you can block the sending of messages at all.

How can I turn off messages for certain Action Center items?
I'd like to find a way to turn off messages for Windows Update, Network Firewall and Windows Backup. Ideally I'd like to do it with Group Policy however I can't find a policy for this. We're deploying Windows 7 right now and we'll need a solution that's domain-wide.Orange County District Attorney

How can i turn off the sounds of my camera

There are three ways to mute. You can use the side switch, use Control Center, or hold down the down volume button until the window says mute.
Edit. No side switch on iPhones. There are two ways. -
How do I turn off message sound when I'm on a phone call
I am going to go deaf if I don't put my phone on silent before taking a phone call, for fear of receiving a text message!!! How do I stop this?
This is only a work around and not a solution to the problem. Apple needs to add an option to be notified during the call or play another, lower and softer, tone while a call is in progress. With a mailbox that blows up all day long and a phone I live on, mind you with a headset in my ear, this is a horrible problem for me. A simple change in the sound profile for this would make me happy. When will we see this? Maybe when IOS 9 since apple is always behind the curve when it comes to enhancements.

Help: How Can I turn off a sound bound to the CTRL key?
Hi, I made a small Unity3D game using the CTRL key as the fire button. There I added a sound to the CTRL key. Now all of a sudden that key always makes that sound "on mouse release". No help even after deleting the sound file, clearing the PR Ram, making restarts. OS X Yosemite on my iMac 5k will always make that sound initially only active during the game. Any help appreciated. Thanks Rolf
Problem found - there was a hidden web page open with a similar game that accepted the CTRL key. :-)

I no longer have my iPhone 4s so how can i turn off i-messages for my number?
Hey there fwhitson,
It sounds like you no longer have your phone but need to unlink your phone number from the iMessages service. According to this article, this is what you do:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

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
ThanksThank 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. -

How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on my new Iphone 3GS ?
Go to Settings>Messages and choose "No" under "Show Preview" which will hide the text part of the SMS/text message but still will pop up on who its from and just says "text message" on it.
Other than this there is not a complete way to disable the notification. -
