How do you manage sound profiles?

Is there anyway to manage sound profiles? It seems like I have to manually turn each sound setting off if I don't want to be alerted at night. I still want rings to come through. Is there not a way to set up profiles so I can set all the sounds according to the profile?

From what I can tell the iPhone (ios 5x) does not have a feature equivalent to the Blackberry "Sound Profile".  Nor do I see an app that will provide this.
For example, on the Blackberry I could set a sound profile called "Loud" which would have the individual ringtones, vibrate and volume settings I want for when I'm in a noisy place.  I could have another setting called "Quiet" with the settings I want in a quiet place, a setting for "Silent" etc.  Then I  could simply select which Sound Profile I want to be in effect. Very useful, very convenient, very easy to use.
The iPhone has the ability to set global sound parameters (volume, alert sound, ring tone) BUT does not have the ability to save sets of global sound parameters for instant retrieval and use by the user. This is, in my view, a shortcoming.  Not a show-stopper, but a shortcoming.
Not to compare Blackberry devices to iPhones, but the "sound Profile" feature in the Blackberry is very useful and I wish Apple would provide ths feature and urge them to do so.

  • How do YOU manage multiple displays in Mountain Lion?

    I'm finding that Mountain Lion's changed display management awfully hard to rationalize. I recently purchased a Macbook Air. I love it, but as a developer I did need more screen real estate. A few days ago I plugged an external 22" monitor in and was horrified to discover that a) full-screen mode renders one display worthless b) flipping between spaces flips BOTH screens.
    This is entirely incomprehensible to me, but I'll leave the question of the wisdom of the decision for others to debate.
    What I want to do is simple. Either:
    a) be able to flip between spaces on either display INDEPENDENT of the other
    and/or
    b) Flip between spaces on one display while leaving the other untouched. For example, using one as a reference screen while flipping between the browser and my code editor.
    So, fellow developers and power users, how do YOU manage this scenario? Is there some 3rd-party utility that allows me to easily restore the functionality I had in previous versions of OSX?

    Why not start here.

  • I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money? Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound? Will I need adaptors and a interface?

    Can anybody help?

    Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
    I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
    Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
    The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
    I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
    I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.

  • How do you manage multiple emails in ios8?

    How do you manage multiple emails from one sender in ios8? In iOS 7 you used to be able to search the sender and then edit, select and move.. I can't seem to find this feature anymore.

    After you have done the search, you can swipe downward slightly on the keyboard and it will disappear and you will see "EDIT" in the bottom right corner. You can tap on that, select whatever emails you want and then you are given the choice to "Mark, Move, Trash, Cancel". It will even verify the number of mails you have selected.

  • How do you manage photos if you lose the computer your iphone was synced with?

    how do you manage photos if you lose the computer your iphone was synced with?

    Are you talking about photos that were synced to your phone? If so, the photo sync is one-way: Computer to phone. Apple makes no provision to extract these photos from your phone, you'll have to use third-party software to do so. Note: photos synced to your phone were reduced in resolution for display on your phone, there is no way to recover their full resolution.

    How do you manage junk mail on Iphone 4s when syncing with MS Outlook

    There is no setting on the iPhone. That is what I told you in the first post. Your email client on the computer probably has a junk filter built in or something you can set. The only way to filter email on the iPhone is at the server.

  • Droid 4 how do you add sounds for the alarm.

    How do you add sounds for the alarm on the Droid 4. I do not like any of the alarm clock sounds.

    In your internal storage of the phone, create a folder called alarms. Then copy or move the audio files to that folder.
    You might need to download a file explorer application from the Android Market.
    If the alarms in the root of storage doesn't work. Create a media folder, then a audio folder in that folder and then move the alarms folder in that folder.
    Or the simplest route, download the app called Ringdroid. You can use that application to set sounds as various ringtones types.

  • How do you manage Playlists on a manually managed iPod Classic?

    I'm going to get an iPod Classic since I have a huge music collection.
    Most of this music is not in iTunes, and won't fit on my computer.
    I have read that I can set iTunes to "Manually manage music and videos" for the device.
    Then I can simply drag and drop music onto the iPod from the Finder (e.g. from an external drive).
    But I also want Playlists on the iPod.
    (Not the songs in iTunes on some playlist -- just the listing of some songs.)
    Can I compose playlists (that reference the MP3 files I am downloading) in some fashion,
    and then drag them over to the iPod, and have it recognize them as playlists for the music
    files that I have dragged onto the iPod?
    I am imagining this would involve creating/editing some XML files with some magic names
    or extensions and dropping them onto the iPod.  (Or, when I do this "Manually manage..."
    thing and go into the device via Finder, will I see a folder there named "Playlists" or something?)
    Something like that?
    How do you manage Playlists on a manually managed iPod Classic?
    (I'm on Mavericks on the computer, of course.
    I could boot Windows or Linux if needed.)

    I have just found out how to do this:
    Connect your iPod:
    Under DEVICES you will see an arrow (on the left hand side, next to your IPod. If you are unable to display your songs the arrow will be pointing to the right. By clicking on this arrow it will point down, all of your songs will appear. Under Preferences uncheck Auto Sync then you can manually add / delete.

  • How do you get sound to work on 1st generation

    please help , how do you get sound on a first generation ipod touch. No sound is coming out ( I tried headphones but still no sound).

    The 1st gen iPod Touch does not have an internal speaker so you will only get sound through earphones.
    You could try another pair of earphones, check the volume settings, restart/reset the iPod, etc.

  • How do you manage RequestCenter in your organization?

    How do you manage RequestCenter in your organization?
    We are involved in discussions/debate as to where RequestCenter/Request Management falls in the organization.
    Some feel that building services in RC constitutes development and thus should fall under the companies development organization and be managed as such (e.g. Code Management, Version Control, Code Migration Policies, Separation of Duties etc.). Others feel it is not development and fits in the engineering/operations side of the house and managed accordingly.
    We are currently managing RC/Request Management in our engineering/operations side of the house. Most of the team do not have “hard core” development backgrounds and are doing quite well with the product, although a little development knowledge does help.
    From the newScale website – “Active Form Components: For an actionable Service Catalog with streamlined request fulfillment, end users must be able to easily request services using an intuitive and interactive online form. With the new active form components feature, service designers can quickly create and update complex interactive form elements that can be re-used throughout the catalog without any programming required.”
    I would be interested to know how your company is managing your installation of RC in your organization.

    I see RC as falling in the operations side of the organization, and that's how we'll likely develop support for the service.  We're new to implementing the product, so I can't give any advice on past experience, just my vision for the product and how we might develop and roll services out to the organization.

  • How can you cancel sounds registered during the lessons?

    How can you cancel sounds registered during the lessons?

    In applications, drag the install OSX 10.10.1 to trash. The download will not install unless you tell it to. You can download it without it installing, so trash it if you have decided you don't want it or simply don't tell it to install.
    Cheers
