How loud is the sound generated by the iPod Touch transducer?

My question is, at what distance from iPod Touch will I be able to hear the transducer sound for a calendar event?
Like many others, I would like to switch my calendar and addresses from a Palm PDA to an iPod Touch device.
I need an alarm sound for a calendar event to remind me that its 20 minutes before I need to leave the office to be on time for an off-site customer meeting.
I have used a Palm T5 PDA, which has a low, medium or high alarm sound settings. Even when the alarm sound is set to low, it can be easily heard by and annoy my neighbors in adjacent cubicals.
Is the iPod Touch sound loud enough to remind and get me to the meeting on time? head

Unfortunately there is currently no way of having an audible alert for a calender event.
The calender app however does allow a visual alert before the event.
Try leaving feedback for apple on this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html
since there is already audible alarms using the transducer, i'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to add this feature to the calender app as well.
Regarding the volume of the transducer, it is generally loud enough to waken me in the mornings.
Hope this helps.

  • HOW DO I FIX SOUND PROBLEMS ON MY IPOD  TOUCH?

    How do i fix sound problems on my ipod touch?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

    You shouldn't specify both "ALL" and "FROM/UNTIL TIME"
    Also if you want the archivelogs generated in the last 5 minutes, you should be using FROM TIME.
    If you want the archivelogs generated until 5minutes ago (and not the latest archivelogs), you should be using UNTIL TIME.
    Hemant K Chitale
    I've wondered about the utility of the FROM and UNTIL options for backup of archivelogs.  If one is going to back them up, why would one use an option that distinctly introduces the possibility of having gaps - un-backed-up archivelogs?  Why would one not simply back up all archives not previously backed up at least once?
    I'm sure you'll give me a valid response for a situation for which my imagination fails to see.

    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.

  • Hi...My IPod touch was recently stolen. I have an Itunes account..can I retreive the serial number of my IPod Touch from my Itunes account? If, so...how may I do this. If I have the serial number, the local police can check the serial numbers at pawn shop

    Hi...My Ipod Touch was recently stolen. In order to help the local police deptartment I need to supply a seria number for the Ipod. Of course, I did not wrtie down the serial number, but I have used he device on my Itunes account. My question: Is there a way to retreive the serial nuber of my Ipod touch from my Itunes account? Thanks you all....

    Yes. See bold below
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • Export of PDF errors after the PDF generates on the server (File I/O error)

    We have Crystal 9 reports engine, developed with VS2003, which is being called from a VS2008 web app on a 32-bit server. The reports have been working okay, unless the file is of size > 600K. Then, right after the PDF is created in the C:\Windows\Temp, the export fails to display it on the screen, throwing the following error:
    Error in File C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\temp_c2e5676e-7d48-413e-9dca-fd2615f236c6.rpt: File I/O error.
    at [1].[1]D(Int16   , Int32   ) at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.Export(ExportRequestContext reqContext) at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.FormatEngine.Export() at CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument.Export() at commisionstatement.CommissionStatementPDF.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.EventHandler.Invoke(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain()
    The issue is quite frustrating as it doesn't indicate what the cause of it is. It is not clear whether this is a timeout issue and what Timeout setting applies. The report objects have a default CacheTimeOut set as CachedReportConstants.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT. How long is this? is there any other setting on the server that can overwrite this timeout? What does the Export method need in order to find and pull the file on time?
    Note that the report generates on the server and if it's not too big, will display on the Client's browser.
    Your help will be greately appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Sonya

    Hi David,
    So we were finally able to test with the increased timeout, which we set to 5 min:
    <httpRuntime
                executionTimeout="300"
                maxRequestLength="4096"
                useFullyQualifiedRedirectUrl="false"
                minFreeThreads="8"
                minLocalRequestFreeThreads="4"
                appRequestQueueLimit="100"
                enableVersionHeader="true"
            />
    Unfortunately, now we started getting other errors, related to the limit of the licenses:
    A Crystal Reports job failed because a free license could not be obtained in the time allocated. More licenses can be purchased direct from Crystal Decisions or through the Crystal Decisions Online Store.
    According to page 8 of the article below, we should be able to purchase more such licenses free of cost:

    Could you let us know how to proceed in order to obtain the licenses?

  • Elvis: Is It possible to use the Function Generator and the Oscilloscope simultaneously?

    Hi,
     We are using the NI Elvis to output a function or a sine wave at a certain frequency and using the oscilloscope on the same board/elvis to read a modified signal. Is this possible? Can we use both the Function Generator and the oscilloscope at the same time? Please help. The oscilloscope would be reading signal from an accelerometer. Thank you in advance. We have no VI as we do not know which to use and if they are possible.

    Hi,
    There is no problem using the Function Generator and Oscilloscope
    at the same time with NI ELVIS. Using the NI ELVIS soft front panels (Start
    >> Programs >> National Instruments >> NI ELVIS 3.0 >>
    NI ELVIS – see picture attached –‘NI ELVIS soft front panels.JPG’), you can choose
    to open more than one instrument at a time. We do this by opening one
    instrument, allowing it to begin, and then opening another. We can also program
    in LabVIEW using more than one instrument at a time by placing down multiple
    Express VI’s taken from the NI ELVIS pallet on the block diagram (see picture
    attached – ‘ELVIS Express VI's (LabVIEW).JPG’). One note when doing this,
    please see KB 41ODPHX1 
    for an example of how to program in parallel. If you do not wire the ‘stop’
    terminal of the express VI’s, you will get the error described.

    The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch.  How do I get it to begin working?  It just stopped today.
    Does anyone know what I can do?  I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing.  The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

    Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Do you have at last iOS version 2.0 or later?  If so, make sure the App store hasn't been disabled from under the Restrictions setting.  To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions. You might also want to make sure it wasn't move to a folder or to another page.
