I can't turn off sound alerts for mail arrival

I have Mail in Lion configured to not play a sound when mail arrives. However, recently a sound started playing. It's still turned off in the config. I suspect a bug in a recent update to Lion. Has anyone else noticed this?

No wonder nobody else had this problem. It wasn't until I turned the sound off on my Macbook Pro and still heard the sound announcing an arrival of an email that I twigged.  I realised that I had Mail open on my Mini to which I have speakers connected.  Normally I don't have Mail running on my Mini; hence my confusion.
D'oh!

  • Can i turn off email alerts for find my iphone

    How do you turn off email alerts for find my iphone?

    There is no way to turn it off, just reduce it. It is a new security feature. It depends on where you are logging in that is generating the email. If you are logging in from a computer browser, if you have cookies on, it should not generate the email except for the first time that you use that device. If it is from logging in to the Find My iPhone app on the iPhone or iPad, if you have a passcode lock set on the device, it will not generate the email, as you will not be logged out of the app on the phone. You just use the home button to get past the app and it stays logged in by not tracking. You open the app again and it will just take you right in without having the log in and will refresh itself.

  • How can I turn off an alert for each txt when message app is open?

    I think this is a simple problem but I can't find a solution! I want to receive an alert (either vibration or sound, depending on the position of the silence switch) when I get a new txt. This is how I am set up now. However, once I open the messages app and am engaged in a discussion, I no longer want to receive an alert for each message. So basically: If message app is open, no alert... otherwise, alert! Is this possible?

    Latest update on 'Network Lost' Message. I have tried all the suggestions, ie, Setting my carrier to Automatic and resetting my Network settings but nothing works. I had a long conversation with someone at Apple this morning and he said there was no way to stop this from happening. Gutted! My husband and I went through the settings on both our iPhones earlier and discovered that he has a different software version to mine, He hasn't updated his and he never gets the message. Now I am wondering if it's possible to go back to an earlier version and if so how? Can anyone tell me please?

  • How can I turn off auto-capitalization for Mail in Mountain Lion?

    How can I keep mail.app from capitalizing the first letter of sentences?  I have turned off auto-correct both at the system level and in Mail, and yet I cannot seem to keep Mail from capitalizing the first letter?

    Thanks - this helped me track it down - some Textexpander setting apparently got switched when I updated.

    I no longer have my iPhone 4s so how can i turn off i-messages for my number?

    Hey there fwhitson,
    It sounds like you no longer have your phone but need to unlink your phone number from the iMessages service. According to this article, this is what you do:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Can't turn off "Full Justification" for Isaacson's book "Steve Jobs"

    On my iPod Touch 2G (iOS 4.2.1-latest for this iPod), I can NOT turn off "Full Justification" for Isaacson's book "Steve Jobs". Other books obey the setting. Anyone else have this problem?
    Suggestions?

    Alternatively:
    In Settings/General, scroll down to find iBooks in the left-hand side. You can turn off Full Justification in the options area (as well as Auto-hyphenation).

  • Turning off sound alerts altogether

    I've plugged in headphones to my iBook, but get annoying sound effects as I work in Microsoft Word, with sounds everytime I cut/paste, drag a word, etc. and at the same volumn as the music I'm listening to on the headphones. I work a lot on Word and want to turn off sound alerts altogether but don't see that option.

  • Can I turn off sound while keeping incoming mail banner for iPhone4S?

    I want to turn off alert sound when I receive incoming mail. I woke up in the middle of the night last becuse of the alert!
    However, I enjoying receiving banner messages on my main screen when I receive new mail messages. Can I turn off the sound while keeping the alert messages? Thank you!

    Kinda funny... I found this article while searching for an answer to my question:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93610
    At the very end of the article, it mentions the "bug" that only one app on Windows can play direct sound at a time. That's exactly the "feature" I'm looking for on the Mac. Funny how one person's bug is another's feature.

  • Cannot turn off Event Alerts for shared Google calendars in iOS8

    I am using a Google Apps account for my calendars and through this have access to several shared calendars.
    When I go into the Calendar app in iOS8, I then press the 'Calendars' button at the bottom of my screen, then I am shown all my iCloud calendars in one group then all the calendars from the one Google Apps account together in the next section.
    The iCloud calendars (Home, Work, Family) all have a red next to them, which when I press it, I am able to scroll to the bottom of that screen and switch off 'Event Alerts' under 'Notifications'.
    But there are no marks next to any of the Google Apps calendars.
    This means that all of my shared calendars will give me notifications all the time, and I can’t switch them off.
    Is there any way to turn off event alerts/ notifications for specific shared calendars?
    Many thanks!

    I have iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.3, and this is the solution that's working for me so far. However, I had to use the Calendar app on my Mac OS X (Yosemite) - not sure if there is another option for PC. Basically, I added the shared Google calendar to iCloud and told Google not to sync the shared calendar to my iPhone, so the shared calendar now shows up under the iCloud list of calendars and not the Google list (and thus the option to turn off alerts). Note: the shared calendars I'm using are read-only, so I don't know how well this would work if you need to edit events from iPhone. I hope this helps, and if anyone has a better solution, please share!
    1. Turn on iCloud calendars on iPhone and Mac.
    2. In browser, open the shared Google calendar settings and copy the iCal calendar address URL.
    3. In Mac OS X Calendar app, subscribe to the shared Google calendar. File > New Calendar Subscription > paste shared Google calendar URL > click Subscribe
    4. Set Location to iCloud. I checked Ignore Alerts because I also didn't want them on my Mac.
    5. The shared calendar should now be listed on your iPhone calendars in the iCloud section with the red i.
    6. Press the red i and scroll to the bottom and switch off Event Alerts.
    7. Remove the shared calendar from the Google list by going to https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect and unchecking the shared calendars.

  • How can I turn off sound controll whele on the Satellite A200

    How can I turn off the external sound controll in front of laptop - the wheel? It does not work, sound volume is permanently muted.
    OS: MS Windows XP
    Thanks

    Thank you Jaba,
    it is Toshiba Satellite A200 Series. Drivers, its configuration and configuration of operating system is OK. The wheel is mechanical damaged, so that is the point. I have to disable its function in operating system. But where can I disable it? I have tried to uninstall Toshiba utilities (controls, hotkeys), reinstall drivers. I have tried to find an option in BIOS, there was no one.
    btw: I am a linux administrator, but I have advanced knowledge of windows systems so you can be short.
