IOS7 - new email sound won't change

Anyone else having a problem where they change the sound effect associated with receiving a new email, but it continues to play the original sound? I've tried setting it to several different new sound effects and it keeps playing the original one. This is on an iPhone 5.

Managed to get this issue fixed. Had to go into Settings -> Notification Center and adjust the sound associated with each of my email addresses I check with my iPhone. Then had to reset my phone and voila, the correct new sound was now playing. I'm not sure why there is a setting for New Email under the Sounds section if it is over-ridden by the sound set in the Notification Center section, but oh well.

    I have a new email - how do I change it on I-pad?

    go to settings, mail contacts and calendars, tap on add account.
    or if you're editing an existing account, settings>mail,contacts, and calendars, tap on account you're editing, sign out, sign back in with corrected info.

  • Email sound does not change

    I've recently upgraded my Iphone 5 til IOS 7.0.3 and I discovered that the sound for new email does not change when I change the setting in the controls.
    Have anybody else experienced this, and what can I do to correct it?
    Aparently alle other sounds can be changed - but not the one for new mail.
    I'm getting very annoyed form the default ring-tone that is played evey time a new email is coming.

  • Can't hear "new email" sound on MacBook Pro

    This just started recently...
    The first time I open up Mail, it usually makes a sound for new mail. When I leave it open and more new emails come in over the day, I never hear the sound.
    Again, this problem only started maybe a week ago.
    I have a MacBook Pro connected to a Thunderbolt display. My sound output is set to go through my display audio. Sound works fine using Spotify, etc...goes through display audio.
    Thoughts?

  • The New Mail sound won't play through SoundSticks

    After many many years of using Eudora as my E-mail client, I have finally switched to Apple's Mail. So far, so good, EXCEPT for an inability to have Mail's "New Mail" sound play through my SoundStick USB speakers.
    I should mention that I use a "dummy plug" plugged into the front headphone jack of my G5 so that I don't have to listen to the startup bong when I turn the computer on. This has never been a problem because I use SoundSticks for my audio and, since the G5 can't "see" the SoundSticks when you first turn the G5 on, no bong through the SoundSticks either. Once the computer is up and running, all audio comes out of the SoundSticks. This is true of all of the alert sounds my Mac makes too. Even the "Send Mail" sound (swooshing plane) plays through the SoundSticks as it should.
    But the sound I have selected for "New Mail" (no matter which sound I select) just won't play through the SoundSticks. If I unplug the dummy plug from the headphone jack I can then hear the "New Mail" sound through the internal speaker. But I don't want to hear it that way (and I don't want to permanently remove the dummy plug either).
    Why is it that Mail's "New Mail" sound is the ONLY bit of Audio that I've found that WON'T play through my SoundSticks?
    Help!
    Mark
    P.S. A friend of mine is having the exact same problem with a G4 connected to SoundSticks. He says "HELP" too!

    Anyone?

  • New email sound alerts not working

    Hi, I have tried setting up a rule to make a sound effect play when a new email arrives but whatever i do it does not seem to work - has anyone tried this? I just want a little noise to sound when a new email arrives but I get nothing with a correctly set up rule. . . . . .

    It works fine for me, selecting a sound there in Preferences. If all you want is for any arriving email to trigger a sound, that is all you need, rather than trying to set up a rule.
    Two things you have probably tried: One, make sure your sound is on, rather than muted. Two, delete any rules you may have tried setting up to play sounds and try it with only the Preference enabled; it's possible the rules you've set are interfering with the Preference doing its job.

  • Help i have forgotten my password for itunes and have a new email address but cant change this as i have to login first, any advice???

    help i have lost my password to log into itunes and have a new email address but can't change this because i can't login?????

    Whenever a menu choice is grayed out, that is because you have Restrictions turned on in Settings.  Be sure to turn it off.
    You are confusing an itunes store account with an icloud account.  You two can continue using the same ID for itunes (thus sharing purchased music, apps, etc.), but you really should have separate accounts (different IDs) for icloud, since an account is intended for one user to keep his/her devices in sync.
    To create a new icloud account, go to
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Then go to Settings>icloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account.  (have restrictions turned off)  That will disconnect the device from the account but will not delete data in icloud or other devices.  Then sign in using the new ID.

  • How do I get new email on devices after changing it on maco

    I Changed my email and my password on my Mac On computer and on iTunes.  But on my iPhone 6 and iPad it won't change. I tried restoring, I tried plugging devices into Mac and backing up or syncing
    it won't work. Also my iCloud won't even let me change the email on devices. I'm so confused now, I think the iCloud on Mac is also OLD EMAIL. IM FRUSTRASTED
    thankyou for any help you can give me. The iCloud thing is just completely annoying as it seems I can't change email address at all, let alone password ON ANYTHING
    mac has been updated now to os Yosemite 10.10.2

    What happens when you go to settings -mail/contact/calendar - email account - icloud -?
    Have you tried deleting and re adding the account from there?

  • New email icon won't go

    Hi All,
    Need your help again.
    I have got a "new email" icon on top left hand side (along with number 1 written) & a "red colour star" icon
    on my office email messenger, but the thing is I have no unread emails. The count of the unread increases
    when I get new emails from office. As I open all the unread emails, this count decreases, but ultimately
    stays again at 1, along with "new email" icon & "red colour star" icon.
    I have already tried the following (in the same order):
    1) I deleted all my office emails from my BB, but still the problem continued
    when this did not help, 
    2) i deleted all the emails from my other BB email messengers  (gmail/hotmail)
    when this did not help,
    3)switched off my BB with the power button,
    when this did not help,
    4) I took out the battery (with BB on)
    when this did not help,
    5) called up the service provider, who sent me "service book" for re-configuration, (after I took
    out the battery again with BB on)
    Now the last option I can think of is, have the office email id removed from my BB & then reconfigure
    again.
    But is their any other solution.
    Thanks for reading this big help request.

  • New emails for existing incidents changing the support group value

    We are seeing some issues in SM 2012 R2.
    Our SM installation has tier1, tier2,tier3 support groups. Any new email to an existing open/closed incident in Tier2 queue is reassigning such incidents back to Tier1 from Tier-2 queue. Is this an expected behavior in 2012 or can this be
    fixed?

    It was the email received template used in "Routing and Schedule" in Exchange Connector that had the issue with default group set to Tier1. Removing the value resolved it for us.

  • HT4539 new apple id won't change when trying to download updates

    why won't my apple id change on the main downloading feature for the apple store.  my new id is changed under the setting on my phone but when i go to download updates it still has my old id locked in and listed? so i have it changed on icloud and app store/itunes but when i hit the apple store icon on my phone and press update all it has my old id still locked in. how can i change this nothing is working?

    Did you update your existing account or create a new one ? If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • I got a new email address so I changed my Apple ID to it but when I try to go to iTunes Store or. Do anything in iCloud my old Apple ID keeps popping up driving me crazy. I want to delete it but seems I have to have the old password and I don't remember t

    Help changing to new Apple ID can't get rid of old one

    Hi jackburkholder,
    You will need to delete the iCloud account with your old ID, but before you can do that, you will have to go back into Manage Your Apple ID, and change your Apple ID back to the old address. Don't worry about verifying it, you just need to change it.
    Then, go into Settings>iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone (it will ask you for a password - put in your current one to turn it off). Then, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and Delete the iCloud account using your current password.
    Also go into Settings>iTunes & App Store, clidk on your old ID and sign out of iTunes.
    Then go back to Manage Your Apple ID and put your new Apple ID back in.
    Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Go back into Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Cheers,

  • Sound won't change or mute?

    I have a year-old macbook, and I've been having a lot of problems with the sound. At first, the sound buttons just stopped working, but I could use the sound preferences thing to adjust the volume and it was just very temperamental - sometimes the buttons worked, sometimes they didn't. But now, if I don't use headphones, I can't adjust the sound at all. It's just stuck at one volume, even if I mute or unmute or change the volume in sound preferences. It works fine when I have headphones in, though. Please help!

    Look inside your headphone jack. Is there a red light on in there?

  • Mail not showing new emails

    Hi all
    Since installing Lion my Mac mail program has undergone some changes, mainly for the better, but one is really bugging me.
    When i received new mail under Leopard i used to get a blue dot by the inbox etc and a number count on the mail icon in the taskbar.
    Now i don't get either unless i select count all boxes in the prefferences which is good except any mail in other boxes does not get hightlighted so i have to search manualy throught them to find the unread mail.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    I have tried rebuilding, selecting inbox only and all boxes to be counted but still have same problem.
    The new email sound works but nothing visual.!!!
    Cheers
    Kev
