IChat now has a "ring-tone" sound when I use it.

Hey guys, from out of nowhere it seems, when I start typing into iChat, a ring sound like that of a phone dial tone comes through my system. I've deleted all modem setups and tried to turn off anything related to that. At one point the sound disappeared. I thought I had fixed it with deleting the modem setup, but now it's back. I went through the same procedure again and again with now luck. Any ideas. I would up grade to Tiger and the new software, but then I have some audio hardware I would have to upgrade, and I'm too cheap to do so now. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
At this stage if you are at 10.3.9 I would consider Repairing Permissions (which I presume you have tried) and installing the last Combo Update of that OS.
It may well be some way done this list http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/

  • BB Pearl Flip - ring tones/sounds quit and shuts itself off

    I'm having major problems with my phone since I got it. 
    I'm on my fthird phone since May 2!!!  On exactly 8 days on the first phone the ringers/sound would quit and would say there was an error on the phone and wouldn't play the sample music.  I brought it back to my dealership and they gave me a new phone.  On day 8 again the same problem happened!  My dealer suggested buying the extra memory chip and I put it in the phone...I did.  The only thing I have downloaded on that phone was msn and facebook.  It was also shutting its self off during day 8!  8 days later again the ring tones/sound wasn't working!  I went back to my dealer and got a new phone.  This time he said to only download facebook and not msn in case it was a memory problem. Now yesterday was day 8....and again the ringtones/sound doesn't work!  I don't download anything...no music, videos not even any ringtones!  Not hearing your phone ring is somewhat of an important feature to the phone!! Oh and when it's acting up the only way you can get it to stut off and reboot is to pull the battery!..and we all know how long it takes to reboot! you might as well come back in an hour!!  Then it will reset and will be okay for a few days! ( or this has been my experience so far!!)
    This is my first blackberry and honestly will probably be my last!  I haven't been impressed!  I want to see if anyone else was experiencing this type of problem. I have 30 days again until I can't exchange it and if I can't get this figured out it will be going back and I'll be getting something different!

    I had a similar problem with my first 8230 that I rec'd in late April of this year.  After only a few days the ringer stopped working and nothing I tried and nothing Bell support did either via the wireless network or at a local Bell Store was able to restore the notification profiles.  I had the phone replaced (within 2 days via purolator after I returned the defective one and have since had no problems ... have changed the notification profiles several times in the interim.  I'd try several things like making sure you have the most up-to-date software version, and current service books offered by your carrier, before chucking it with BB.   For my part, I'm loving the Flip, but will probably be upgrading to a Curve or Storm at the first opportunity (next April!).

  • Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

    can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

    Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone.  The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
    To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On.  This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

  • I recently upgraded to 10.6.7 and Safari 5.05. Safari now has a long load time when you initially boot it up and when selecting a new tab. Other than that it works fine. What can I do ?

    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, relaunch Safari.
    If it's not Extensions, check for third party Safari add ons.

  • I just upgraded my iphone 4 to ios5 and now my purchased ring tones are gone.

    I just upgraded my iphone 4 to ios5 and now my purchased ring tones are gone.  I followed another comment and can also say that they do not show up under "purchased" in my "app store."

    @lovehelmet good joke!
    Today I visit an A1 Telekom store and I ask about this problem. He say "the programmer are working to that and today or tomorrow you will be able to set any APN or other settings".

  • HT2188 Although the ringer volume for the phone is turned up, no ring tone happens when the phone is called.

    Although the ringer volume for the phone is turned up, no ring tone happens when the phone is called.

    Not a silly question...I not only didn't realize that switch was there but I must have touched/changed it today without feeling it.
    Thanks!

    Hello Saranginotes,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with iOS audio issues. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker
    Can't hear anything from the built-in speaker of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch? Maybe you can hear, but the sound is distorted, muffled, intermittent. Or maybe you hear static or crackling noises. If your iOS device has any of these issues, follow these steps.
    Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
    Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
    If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
    Restart your device.
    Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
    If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
    If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
    Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Bobby_D

    Hey 24DubliN,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad 2 in relation to sound. To troubleshoot the microphone on your device, see the following resource. While titled for iPhones, most of the steps are applicable for your iPad as well:

    I suggest an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation.
    Perhaps an Apple Hardware Test may provide a clue:

  • My iphone 4 does not ring for messages when i use the handsfree..

    my iphone 4 does not ring for messages when i use the handsfree..

    iPhone supports A2DP audio streaming. If you have it paired to a handsfree kit that supports this, for example, an in car audio system, and are currently tuned to a source other than the phone, the phone will send the audio for things like text message alerts to the handsfree system, but you will not hear them. This is just the nature of the beast. If you do not intend to use audio streaming from the phone, you may be able to disable this in the in car system. This should not affect Bluetooth calling. There is no option to disable this on the phone itself.

  • The last apple tv upgrade now has no home sharing. When I click on "Computers" there is nothing and a pop up tells me to turn on Home Sharing in I Tunes. It is turned on.

    I have just done an upgrade on Apple TV. When I try to play my music on my TV now I click on "computers" and get a message to turn on home sharing in itunes. Home sharing is turned on. I get a message "cannot find ..........library. Any help anyone please.

    I had this problem too.  My PC is connected to my router via  an ethernet cable and my Apple TV is connected via wireless.  When I phoned Apple they said that my router was probably sending the signals via two different sub networks, one for ethernet and one for wireless and so the Apple TV couldn't see my computer (It's like they are on different connections).  I didn't really understand how my router was setting up sub networks but when I connected my Apple TV via ethernet it works fine and then stops again when I use wireless.  I restarted my router and it was ok so I then went into my router settings and selected to always use the same channel for the Apple TV.  So far it has worked everytime I've switched on.

  • Camera sound when NOT using phone

    My husband's Blackberry 9330 has been making what sounds like a camera shutter sound randomly at all hours of the day and night. It doesn't matter if you are holding the phone, have it laying on a shelf, carrying it in your pocket or even have the phone sounds muted. Have gone through all the sound effects and the one we are hearing isn't even listed and it is a different sound then when you take a picture with the phone's camera. Help!! It's starting to drive us nuts!!

    Turning the phone off and back on again or pulling the battery out while the phone is on doesn't work either

  • Skype is now regularly opening a widget URL when I use it

    When I use skype, I'm now getting a browser automatically started with the following URL  https://apps.skype.com/chatadwidget/?containerType=SER This is terribly annoying.  How do I disable this behaviour? 

    Make sure your computer has the latest version of IE installed for your OS.  Skype uses IE's engine in the background and not having it up to date can create odd issues.   If you have IE already up to date and this problem is occurring.  Reset IE to defaults. Latest versions of IE by OS.Windows XP -  IE8Windows Vista - IE9Windows 7/8 - IE11 Reset IE settings:
