  • Why do I lose the sound effects for mail on my MBA and not the other Macs I have? Running ML.

    Why do I lose the sound effects in Mail for sending and receiving on my MBA and not on my other Macs? Running Mountain Lion. The problerm seems to be related to the sleep mode. When the MBA sleeps and then wakes up the sounds are missing. If I shut down and restart the machine the sounds will be back but only last until the maching goes through a sleep cycle.

    Primarily because, as ron245 points out, there is only ONE speaker on the bottom.

  • I reset Firefox using the Mozilla instructions; how do I get back the ability to SEND LINK via gmail that I've lost.

    Want to be able to get from SEND LINK directly to a gmail email.

    Thanks for your suggestion. After HOURS of looking through Firefox Support, I finally found a way of changing the default (which, I wasn't aware, was set on Thunderbird) to Gmail. Accomplishing this task took seconds. Finding the instructions took forever. Very poor job by Firefox Support of making it easy to find the answer. But I appreciate your help.

  • Why has ios6 removed the ability to gift on iPhone

    Why has Apple removed the ability to gift Apps and music in ios6?  I'm so, so angry about this issue. I want it back IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!

    Hi, I have a similar problem. I live in the UK in an area where the 3G signal is weak. Ever since I have used iphone (since iphone 3G) - I have used it with 3G switched off when at home. That way it was forced to use the GPRS (or 2G) mobile signal from o2.
    This worked fine, and I had 4 or 5 bars of signal always. If I enabled 3G at home that would drop to between 1 bar and NO SERVICE. This made using the iphone as a telephone virtually impossible as call quality was rubbish and often dropped out.
    I used wifi for internet so it was never an issue, and I switched on 3G when out if I needed it.
    Since the ios8 upgrade APPLE have taken away the ability to switch between 2G and 3G. Instead the button now switches between 4G and either 2G or 3G, this either is decided by the iphone itself depending on the strength of the 2G and 3G signals.
    I have spoken to APPLE twice about this. The first time yeaterday they flatly blamed o2 and said it was nothing to do with them. So I called o2 and guess what; yes you got it, they blamed Apple. IT reminded me of when Steve Jobs got up on that stage and denied there was ever a problem with the iPhone 4 antenna a few years back.
    So I called Apple back, and today the guy I spoke to did seem to understand my problem and sympathise with it. He said I was not alone and that hopefully it would be fixed by an update.
    Luckily for me I am only 3 months away from an upgrade, so if they dont fix it by then I am going to take the leap and jump to Android.
    The short term solution - and you need to be quick if you have already upgraded to ios8, is to downgrade to ios7.1.2
    This is not officially supported by Apple, but it you google it, it is quite easy, you have to download an ipsw file and then do a restore in itunes, but you will lose everything on the phone, and you cannot back up from a backup made with ios8.
    I hope they sort this out, it has driven me mad over the past 2 days.
    We need the Toggle between 2G and 3G to be re-instated.

  • If I make work in Premiere CC but lose access to CC, do I lose the ability to open the file and edit my work?

    I'm currently using Premiere CS6. Premiere CC looks appealing in terms of the updates, but not the payment model. If I can't pay for CC for a while, or switch to another program one day, will I lose the ability to open any of my Premiere CC files? It's shocking how often I go back to an old project that was made in an ancient program that I no longer use, but because I forever own that software, I'm always able to open the file up and make whatever changes necessary so I can bring the file into a more current program. Is this workflow lost if I lose access to CC? If this is the case, I may have to stick to CS6 just because I have the disks and know I'll always be able to install the programs and access my files.

    New PROJECT files, and SOME data files (such as InDesign ???) will not open in earlier programs... industry standard files (such as JPG) will open in any program
    For more information about a specific program, you will need to ask in that program's forum
    If you will start at the Forums Index https://forums.adobe.com/welcome
    You will be able to select a forum for the specific Adobe product(s) you use

  • Randomly lose the ability to minimize windows (possibly after 5.5 update)

    Just like the title says I randomly lose the ability to minimize windows.
    I just noticed it a few days ago; and I think it started after I updated to 10.5.5... It seems to happen when I use the spaces feature. Since I'm always use Windows XP in vmware, I give Windows it's own desktop. At times I drag, or open up new applications in other spaces. And when I go bettween the spaces using a command arrow, I notice the "yellow" minimize botton turns a grayish white, and I can't click on it. Sometimes I can still do a command M to minimize that Window, other times that feature is "grayed out" as well. The only thing I can do to fix it is to close and reopen the Window(s), affected.
    About my machine:
    Macbook Pro 4,1
    2.4 ghz Intel
    2 gig's of Ram
    Nivida 8600 256meg
    200 gig drive (Partitioned a 100 for leopard, and a 100 for Windows XP Pro "NTFS")

    Update:
    I found the problem has to do with vmware.
    When I run Windows XP Pro in full screen mode in vmware, and I got bettween spaces, that's when I lose the ability to minimize my OSX applications.
    If I run Windows XP Pro with in a window in Vmware or in "utility" mode, I don't have that problem...

  • Why do I lose the quality of my fonts in dreamweaver after slicing in photoshop ?

    why do I lose the quality of my fonts in dreamweaver after slicing in photoshop and saving it for web with the highest quality ?  Itried everything from different font to highest resolution.

    Resolution means nothing on the web.  Most browsers render images at 72 dpi (slightly higher on some mobile devices).
    What matters on the web is the number of pixels contained in the image (i.e. 500px wide x 325px high) and the file type used to save it (PNG, JPG or GIF).

  • CS4 crashes when I send to print and pen tool loses the ability to keep the attributes of a multi-stroked line.

    Using Illustrator CS4 (can't upgrade because the office I am contracted with will not upgrade) on a Mac running Mavericks 10.9.5 (just upgraded from 10.6). CS4 crashes when I send to print (I've been saving as a PDF and printing that). Also, the pen tool loses the ability to keep the attributes of a multi-stroked line.

    Thanks, Larry. I should have remembered the "…Basic Appearance…" thingy. I've tutored enough people in Illustrator—it just never occurred to me. As for the printer, I'll give that a shot. I'll fumble my way around in that; not sure exactly how to go about doing it, but I'm game. Thank you for your help.   — Jim

  • Safari loses the ability to use Greek accents after a while

    Since my transition to Lion I have noticed that if I have left a tab inactive for some time, I then lose the ability to write Greek with the proper accents over the letters. Reloading the page does not work either and the only way around it is to close the tab and open a new one. I posted the problem in Greek Mac Forums and it appears that some people are also experiencing the issue and there doesn't seem to be a way around it.
    I uninstalled all Safari extensions, such as Glimms, but the problem persists and it is extremely inconvenient.
    Any ideas?

    You should give it a try.  It is quite common to have to use a different browser sometimes, Safari is not perfect.

  • Dear Apple, unfortunately, I think I have found a bug in ios 7. During an incoming call is no call rejection or selection of the ability to send a text message. I hope it is a bug and there is a solution. Thank you very much.

  • My new Mac Mail is losing the ability to send emails periodically. It's running on 10.6.7 /new iMac. What's happening?

    My new Mac Mail is losing the ability to send emails periodically. It's running on 10.6.7 /new iMac. I can reset the account by going into Prefs, then first deleting the account and then adding a new SMTP account back. Then sending emails works for a while, until the next time. What's happening?

    Ah! Unfortunately, I'm on a company computer and can't just try these things myself. If that's the issue, I can ask our admins and they'll do it, but I want to make sure I've exhausted anything that could be a small fix.
    Is that a shot in the dark, or are you thinking there's a reason a clean install is the solution? Thanks for the help.

  • Hi, dear Sirs! I'd like to suggest this: as I installed 4 Airport Extreme Units in my apartment connected to Powered loudspeakers, why don't give the choice to send streaming data to all the units so I can hear music trough each unit? Thank you, V M

    Hi, dear Sirs!
    I'd like to suggest this: as I installed in my apartment  N° 4 Airport Extreme Units each one connected to Powered loudspeakers, why don't give the choice to send streaming data to all the units so it is possible to hear music trough each unit?
    Thank you,
    Valerio Maioli

    Dear tzbikowski
    really many thanks for your prompt and right reply.
    I didn't know it, but I found in iTunes popup, not only you can adjust the volume of each unit too!
    But, I have another question, sorry:
    This facility is on Safari Mountain Lion SW, but is it on iOS 6.01 or 5.1.1 as in my iPad ?
