How to add new alert sounds to Sound Effects in Sys. Prefs

I'd like to add a sound (it's in MP3) to the Sound Effects in System Preferences. How do I do this?

Hi Craig, if it isn't playing in the actual folder then something went wrong in your conversion. Exactly how did you do the conversion? And how did you get it out of iTunes (if that is what you used for the conversion) to use it as a sound effect?
I have a one second piano chord in mp3 stashed away in a sound collection folder. I double click it and it opens in iTunes. I then go to iTunes Preferences, click on Advanced, then click the Importing tab, and change "Import Using" to "AIFF Encoder" (my default is MP3 Encoder) and click the OK button. Go back to the regular iTunes window and select your mp3 file, then go up to the Advanced menu and select "Convert Selection to AIFF"--it should convert it very quickly. Grab the new aif file and drag out of iTunes window onto the Desktop. Do GetInfo on it and change the extension to .aiff (iTunes exports it plain name.aif). While you are in GetInfo verify that it plays in the Preview section. Now add it to the /System/Library/Sounds folder. Oh, and remove the one that doesn't work. You'll have to authenticate to do that too.

  • Add new Place to Time Zone tab in Sys Prefs

    I have seen a couple of posts on other forums, plus a similar request, here on the iPhoto09 forum, but not had any success with this yet. I want to do this for the same reason as the OP on the iPhoto forum...so iPhoto Places defaults to an area local to myself
    The procedure I have seen ( see links below) seems to refer to OS ver 10.2. I have tried it on my system (10.5.8) and I can't seem to get it to work.
    Basically it involves editing
    MacintoshHD/System/library/PreferencesPanes/DateandTime.prefpane
    --- Show package Contents
    Contents/Resources/TimeZone.prefPane
    --- Show package Contents
    Contents/Resources/allcitiesadj.plist
    Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Localizable_Cities.strings.
    Needed to change read /write permissions to edit the file(s), then changed them back after editing.
    The original article in http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20020831074937191 refers to changing ownership of the files, from System to User and then back again. I cant see an option to change ownership, but could see red write attributes so I changed that to allow editing of the files. I do notice now that the two files, now show user as owner of the files not System. maybe this is why this procedue is not working
    I added the new Place in allcitiesadj.plist
    <array>
    <string>49.120000</string>
    <string>-2.070000</string>
    <string>11</string>
    <string>Europe/London</string>
    <string>GB</string>
    <string>Jersey</string>
    <string>England</string>
    </array>
    And added an entry to Localizable_Cities strings for Jersey:
    "Jakarta" = "Jakarta";
    "Jerusalem" = "Jerusalem";
    "Jersey" = "Jersey";
    "Kabul" = "Kabul";
    "Kampala" = "Kampala";
    Restarted the machine, but Jersey still does not appear in the Time Zone tab.
    Anyone give me any pointers here?
    Here are the links I have seen so far:

    which links to
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20020831074937191

    Solved.
    It was because editing the files in Text Edit changed the file ownership. Had to use Terminal and chown to revert ownership back to system.
    Using TextMate would have done it without changing the file ownership.

  • Can't add songs or sound effects

    Until a few days ago, I was able to drag and drop tracks I'd purchased on iTunes into my iMovie projects.  Now, even royalty-free music tracks are not playable once I import them into iMovie.
    What has happened?  These videos are for my own personal use, and I do not sell them to anyone. How may I use the tracks in good faith that I've purchased?
    Thank you so much.

    UPDATE: Now it appears that I *can* add music and sound effects as long as there is no overlap.  This is different.  How can I *layer* audio tracks on top of one another in iMovie the way I used to be able to do? 
    I can't imagine Apple would have changed this critical component of editing overnight for no good reason.  What say you?

    Thanks,

    Hello,
    I think of something like:
    First, you create extension, with transaction WE30.
    Then, reduce your idoc, your extension should also be proposed.
    Do not forget to add this extension in outbound we82, and/or we57 in inbound, and WE20, and find BTE or exit to populate extension.

  • How to add new line in message on my S890

    My stock keyboard in Lenovo S890 doesn't have enter key, is this normal ? How to add new line ?
    However this happened only in messages, while using whatsapp the enter key present.

    Hi,
    the fact that your question is posted in Order Management section, does the move order automatically generated by OM?
    nevertheless, i don't think you should (or allowed, in this case) to add a new line in transact move order. Transact move order only queries (not create records) the move order lines eligible to allocate and transact.
    So, I don't see why you need to add a new line in transact move order.
    You can, however, add a new line in the allocation of the lines, where for instance, you need to have half of the line allocated to one locator, and the other half to another locator
    Thanks

  • How to add new text field in standard report

    how to add new text field in standard report?

    Hi,
    I presume you are talking about a report display in ALV and u wish to add a column to it .
    If it is a global requirement ,as in table being used there in ALV can be modified, then you can append the table and the system should pick up the same automatically from there.
    Otherwise , you can make a Z program . Modify the catalog being used in ALV.

    Hi,
    First upload the file into an internal table. If you are using a file that is on application server. Use open dataset and close dataset.
    Then :
    Loop at it.
    *insert or modify as per your requirement.
    Endloop.

  • 11.5.9/OAF 5.7 : how to add new fields in iProc "search results" page

    We need to add new fields into iProc "search results" page - "Personalize Self-Service Defn" is et, we can enter the personalization screens (from both the "master" link at top/right page level or from the link above the region) - anyway cannot find how to add new fields. Do we have to go to AK developer and/or XML files or is it feasable from OAF (as it is with 11510) ? TIA.

    It depends on what fields you want to add.
    1. If Oracle has included the fields, just render them via personalizations
    2. If they are brand new fields:
    a) you will need to extend the VO (I do not know the exact name).
    b) change the query to get your extra db columns if necesary
    c) add transient attributes to the VO and map them to b).
    d) Then you need to add the items via personalization and map them to the attributes you created in c)
    Check on metalink for the lates version of OAF Dev Guide and Personalization guide.
    Thanks

  • How to add new fields to the system form (Ex.expenses to a/r invoice form)

    hi
    can any one tell me how to add new fields to the system form (Ex.expenses to a/r invoice form)
    i want to add expenses field to system a/r invoice form and connect data base also.
    i used the code of samples\11.system form manipulation(vb.net) but i'm not able to get it....so can any one help with code or concepts.
    reply soon plz..
    thankQ

    If I understood you correctly, you are just trying to add new fields to the invoice form and then use them in your form. you should first go and add the field to your tables, which you would do by going to Tool --> User Defined Fields --> Manage User Fields. There are different documents or categories given. For ex. for invoices, Sales Orders you would add your field under the Marketing Documents. If you want the field to be just one per invoice, add it to the Title, otherwise if you want a field per invoice or Sales Order line, add it to the Rows section. Once you have done that then you can just create a edit box or drop down to represent the field and set the datasource for that to your field. If you want example code to do that, let me know.
