Is there a list of the sound-generating System events for OS X? How to tweak?

I work with a community with some minor physical and visual impairments. I have limited current OS X experience, and I am volunteering on their behalf. But this question is not directly about OS X assistive technologies. Right now, we would just like to add more+additional sound effects than seems to be the default for OS 10.8.
In particular we would like:
A loud sound when a USB device has become unplugged (when plugged in would be nice as well.)
A clear sound when a password has been entered incorrectly.
One of my users swears these sound events are already in there, and I am inclined to believe her. But confirming this is difficult on Mac OS 10.8.4 The “Sound Effects” dialog in the System Preferences only seems to be for alerts.
So two questions:
What are all the system sound events in OS 10.8.4
How can we configure the sounds that are played for individual events?
Thank you!

Growl.info and HardwareGrowler can play sounds when hardware in attached/removed.
Unplugged can tell you if your laptop power adaptor has been plugged in or unplugged.

Is there a list of drum sounds?

Is there a list of drum sounds in the software drum kits and what notes they equal? For instance "middle c = closed high hat." I was disappointed that the Rhythm Section Jam Pack didn't come with one.
TIA!

I suppose there is. Jon Chappell (extremely clever guy that he is) has created a FCP removing app, so there must be a list somewhere for it to know what to remove.

Is there a list of the characters that are automatically converted to emoji?

Well, it says it in the title:

Or a way to see the characters corresponding a specific emoji?
Thanks!

Hi,
iChat, at least to iChat 6 had this set of Smileys
They had variations of each set of keystrokes (namely whether the dash for the nose was needed)
They were controlled by a .plist that listed all of them. (I cannot remember if it was inside the App package or in the IMAgent.app package)
However this .plist no longer exists in the current app.
Where they match the ones for posting here:-
they will have the same keystrokes.
Obviously some don't match.

I wish I could help. There are numerous threads about missing music but last I looked, no solution. You might want to read through them anyway.

TS3276 I have no sound on my MacBook Air for sending and receiving messages. All sound settings have been checked and are OK. This problem has arisen many times and is intermittent in the sense that the sound returns and disappears for no apparent reason.

Open System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
Select: Play user interface sound effects
And make sure the Mute box is not selected.
Now open Mail. From the Mail menu bar clik Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
Make a selection from the: New messages sound pop up menu.

I think you've anwsered your own question. If it does'nt meet the minimum spec it won't work.

I am trying to put sound fonts into a playable format in garageband. I followed all of the instructions on the sound font help page for Garageband, but I still cannot play the sounds, or get them to show up. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I was confused by your profile signature showing "GarageBand (Mac) '11".
It is very similar in the newest GarageBand 10.0.2:
Enable Audio Units in the GarageBand Preferences > Audio/Midi.
Create a software instrument track.
Show the Smart Controls and click the button.
In the Info panel scroll, to make the Audio Units brick visible and click the "Instrument" control. Select "AuInstrument > Apple > DLSMusicDevice" and click it, to open the settings.
This should show you a panel, where you can select a Sound Bank. Does that show your sound font?

Yes I do spend a lot of time in China but I have had problems in other countires as well. I am in China right now.
I have two Gmail accounts and one Cox account. Cox is my intranet provider back home. I have had problems with all three accounts.
I have tried several outgoing port settings. 993, 995 465, 587 are some that I can remember trying.
Sometimes my accounts will go offline without me doing anything. This is all a mystery to me. I don't have any idea why I have trouble like this. A few minutes ago I changed my Cox account outgoing port and took the account on line and I got my incoming email but when I tried to forward an email that I got it would not go out.
Any ideas you have would be helpful.

HT3775 I can not open a video movie clip, the system ask for a codec, how can a set up that automatlicly

I can not open a video movie clip, the system ask for a codec, how can a set up automatlicly?

The problem was resolved a small manipulation - on stage Basic Configuration,
point 3 "Configure CA Introscope"
I forgot to add to the list of CA Introscope Enterprise Managers link to my manager.
Thus it is necessary to take into account that the path should be correct (usually for linux - /usr/sap/ccms/apmintroscope) and the directory should be applied appropriate privileges.
Then in paragraph "Byte Code Adapter Installation" - there are all the necessary data, and it starts to work correctly

When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.

When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.
Initially I could find no cause. Then I tried right click - Edit and on the affected images, always get this warning:
"Image Cannot Be Edited - This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of Iphoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it." and a "Duplicate To Edit" Button is displayed.
The external Editor defined for iPhoto is Adobe Photoshop Elements.
Now, I reckon the MUST be others out there affected by this same apparent Preview bug, yet my searches have not revealed any answers. Also seems impossible to find a contact number for adobe???
Thanks

Changing the default logical system names for adaptive RFC models

Hello,
When I create an Adaptive RFC model the dialog that asks me to specify the model name, package, source folder, etc. has default values in the "Default logical system name for model instances" and "... RFC metadata".
I know I can type in another name there but I'd like to change the default name to something that fits our naming conventions. Can I change that? If so, can someone tell me where?
Thanks in advance!
David.

Suresh,
Thank you for your response. However, that is not what I was looking for. Sorry if my post was not clear.
I knew that I could change it AFTER the import. I also know that I can type in something else besides the default DURING the import.
What I am asking is if there is a way to change some configuration setting so that the 'default' that comes up in the drop down DURING the import is something different than what comes 'out-of-the-box' with NWDS.
Hope that clears up what I'm looking for.
David.
