How do I get the swoosh sound back?

I had to reinstall my operating system, and now don't have the swoosh sound when mail is sent. I thought I figured it out by going to System Preferences, Sound, and enabling Play user interface sound effects. But by doing that, I get all sorts of annoying sounds, particularly within iTunes. I know I did something before to get the mail swoosh, but not have sounds all the time from the user sound interface. Anyone know how to do this?

I just checked the Previous System Folder, Library. I don't have a Sounds folder
Sounds like you checked the HD/Library directory. Check the Home/Library folder? You should have a Sounds folder. At least in 10.5.6 there is one. Your system info confirms you are still using 10.5.2. Have you considered updating?
I just checked the sounds in Mail Preferences and I do not have the swoosh sound listed as an option to choose. I listened to them all & none of them makes a swoosh sound. Perhaps that sound is not included in os 10.5.6.
If the swoosh sound is not in your Home directory, search the net for the swoosh sound (email sounds), install to your desktop, then move it to the Home directory sound folder.
Go to Mail Preferences/General, select New Mail Sound and from the drop down window select Add. Select your sound.
Repair permissions and restart your computer. Send some mail to yourself to make sure your mail alert is working properly.

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat.

How do I get messages to go back to an AIM account? It's only seeing the iPad's Facetime email address and not seeing the old AIM account name that is on my desktop. I am using my iMac using iChat to talk to a newer iMac that doesn't have iChat. We had this working using Messages and Facetime (on the new machine) talking to my existing iChat account. One day last week, when Facetime rang, my kids answered on the iPad. Dang! Now it's all fouled up! The new iMac won't see my AIM account name and shows that I'm offline, because the iPad is off. We were able to call using "most recent call" in Facetime, but now I can't go and control that new iMac remotely to help with some email concerns the user is having. I'm trying to not personalize this too much, but it's grandkids talking to Grandma and Mom and Dad trying to solve new machine hiccups. Normally, I could just go in via iChat and control the other machine and troubleshoot, but I can't do it with Facetime only. My buddy list doesn't see the other computer even though we are connected on Facetime right now. My name is not highlighted for the other computer. What could have gone so wrong?
Any help would be appreciated.

How can I get my iMac to be the primary screen again?

Hi everyone!!
A couple days ago I was watching a movie on my tv, which is my ''external monitor" for my iMac. I used VLC and it was full screen on my tv, I never had any problems with it. After the movie ended, I couldn't get my iMac screen to work. I restarted, and it flashes a white screen and it does make the apple startup sound. Also everything seems to be working just fine. When I hook it up to my TV, I can use my tv as the ''main monitor" but my iMacs screen remains black. (I have it in mirroring mode now) When I restart by pressing the on and off switch, I do get a flash of my current screen, but it fades to black quite soon after. Even if I wake my iMac up, it shows me the log in screen for about half a secodn and also fades to black. So it's not the screen itself that has any issues.
I think I accidentally clicked something in the display settings, but I have no idea how I can get my iMacs screen to work again. Does anybody know how to get my iMac back to functioning as a primary monitor? When I unplug the thunderbolt cable, it doesn't switch back either.
I already tried dragging the apple top bar from one screen to another, but it doesn't work. When I reset the PRAM, it does restart, but right after I hear the second chime the screen still remains black and it boots like it did before, still no functioning iMac screen.
Thanks in advance!

The screen is all black, so it's not the backlight. It's weird because when I get the computer off of sleep mode, it shows the log in screen really quickly. So my LCD isn't broken either. It just switches back to the wrong resolution I guess. Which makes the screen black again.

How can I get the blue dot back that id's mail as unread?

How can I get the blue dot back that id's unread mail?

Yes We have an iMac with the same account. They have both worked fine for the year that we have owned an iPad. I think I have solved the problem. I went into mail settings and turned off push. Then I reset the iPad. Upon reopening, I turned push on again. At least for the last 15 minutes, I have a blue dot bt new mail. Many thanks for taking the time to help me, Matthew.

I recently rebuilt my iphoto 09 library and now all the pics are in one folder instead of events. How do I get 20,000 pics back into the correct events?

I recently rebuilt my iphoto 09 library and now all the pics are in one folder instead of events. How do I get 20,000 pics back into the correct events?
I have a macbook pro Version 8.1.2 and I am using Iphoto 09
I rebuilt library because many pics were black and now they are in one folder labeled "Recovered"

Do you have the original iPhoto Library (before you rebuilt it)?
If so, I suggest you rebuild it using iPhoto Library Manager, a program you can download. It does a better job of rebuilding. It also leaves your original intact and makes the rebuilt Library a new file (package).
If you don't have the original (say, from a backup), then you should probably first back up the library that you have before trying anything.
After making a backup of it, look along the left side, you will see Events and Photos. Is there anything in either of those areas?
If not, it sounds like all your photos were recovered and put in Recovered during the rebuild. iPhoto Library Manager might do a better job with this. In any case, if there are no photos in Events or in Photos, try selecting ~ 5 photos in Recovered and drag them to Photos. Do they then show up there with the correct dates? Do they also show up in Events after doing that? I am suggesting just a few photos before you try it with 20,000.
If the photos inside your "recovered" area are also in Photos, then don't do the above steps. I'm not sure I can help you if your 20,000 photos are in Photos but not Events. I'd try iPhoto Library Manager instead with its better rebuild.
If the 5 photos experiment works, then I would try it with ~ 200 photos at a time, going through your entire collection. You'll need to do this about 10 times if you really have 20,000 photos. Remember, don't do this if the "recovered" photos are already in "Photos."

During initial setup, I deleted the additional colored options in the Calender application. How do I get those colored options back? Thank you!!

Sounds like you have the print dialog minimised, as shown.
If you click the triangle next to the printer name, this will expand the print dialog and from this view you can see all the menu options as mentioned in the guide.

How do I get transit routing maps back in iOS 6?

Hi there,
My phone stopped receiving messages, and I was forced to update to iOS 6 on my 4S to get it working again.
I've heard bad things about Apple maps (the reason I was holding off updating), but I can't believe how bad it is. Here in Montreal, it is completely unusable.
I use Google maps all day, every day for transit directions and need to get it restored. I tried the web app, but it doesn't work well at all.
So, short of buying an S3, how do I get native Google maps back on my 4S?
Annoyed at such a drastic loss of functionality and disregard for user experience.
-Jared

I hope someone from Apple hears this clearly.
I've been extoling the virtues of the iPhone and iOS since day one, but with this, you leave me nothing to stand on. I can't argue in it's favor without sounding like an idiot anymore.
Removing Google maps, giving priority to your business interests over the user's experience, is the last straw for me.
To S3 and functional mapping I go.

How do you get the search bar back in the internet browser

my internet browser shows my bookmarked pages, but not the space to type in websites, how do i get this to come back?

Hmmm--doesn't sound familiar. I think you'll do better asking in the Safari forum here:
Safari
There are some authentic browser gurus there. Be sure to tell them the Mac OS version you are running as well as the version of Safari. You'll get faster help if they don't have to ask for those.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.

I have authorized a new computer, and itunes is not registering recent purchases. How do I get my entire library back on this new computer without having to re-buy them all?

I have just gotten a new computer which runs windows.
I have authorized this computer with itunes...
But the library and playlists I had on the first computer are not showing up on this one, and when I log into the itunes store, it is not showing any of my recent purchases (like one I bought as soon as last night.)
How do I get these songs/playlists back, or do I have to actually re-buy all these songs?

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

Since installing 4.0.1 I can't right click on the Icon in my task bar and have Firefox give me the option of "close and save" the tabs. Only let's me know I'm about to close multiple tabs. How do I get "save and close" back?

Before installing 4.0.1 I could right click on the Firefox icon on my computer's taskbar and hit close window. It would then give me the option to "save tabs and quit" or "close all tabs."
Now it just alerts me that I'll be closing multiple tabs.
It was convenient to be able to close Firefox and open it with all of the tabs in place. There is nothing more irritating than having multiple tabs lost because your computer did an update overnight and restarted. Also it was helpful when you wanted to run a tun-up or cleaner that asked you close out of your browser for optimum result's.
How do I get "save and quit" back?
Thanks

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
