Itunes bug with MSN  notification sounds

just thought i would report this, considering the fourms is the only way i know of reporting bugs. but i noticed a problem with itunes7 . whenever i recive a notification sound from Windows Live Messanger and im playing music on my itunes, my music skips. the only thing i can do is turn off all notification sounds on msn so itunes playback doesnt skip.
off topic question... how do i change my display name for the fourms? (I really have no idea where to post this question)

This is a non fixable problem. I pretty much know it can't be fixed by user intervention.
The problem lies when something other than iTunes tries to use your soundcard. Soundevents in Windows, games you're playing while using iTunes, anything having to do with the soundcard.
The only way you can bypass this is if you disable sound events or any other sound card use when using iTunes. Basically making sure that iTunes is the only application using the sound card.
We definitely need a fix. Fast.

  • ITunes bug with non-latin characters in the path

    I've just bought a Beyoncé video clip from iTunes Store.
    iTunes unable to play (even transfer to iPod) this video because folder's name contains french "é" symbol. When I've renamed folder to "Beyonce" then iTunes played video successfully.
    BTW, my system locale is Russian (because I'm russian), OS - Vista.

    Kasyan, as of Leopard AppleScript treats all text as Unicode pre this you can specify 'as Unicode text'. Try a test with these.
    -- Leopard
    set x to POSIX path of (path to desktop)
    -- Pre Leopard
    set x to POSIX path of (path to desktop as Unicode text)
    -- Leopard
    set x to POSIX path of (choose file without invisibles)
    -- Pre Leopard
    set x to POSIX path of ((choose file without invisibles) as Unicode text)

  • Weird: getting iphone notification sound when I receive a new Gmail email even though account is deleted on phone?

    I've been trying to debug an issue with receiving notification sounds
    that I don't want to receive, and I don't know where to go from here -
    I am totally confused.
    A couple of days ago I started having a problem where anytime I
    received an email I would get a notification sound. I didn't want
    that, so I tried turning off all notifications on mail. This didn't
    fix the problem, I would still get a sound when receiving a new email.
    Next I tried removing my gmail account from the Mail app.
    Surprisingly, I still am having the problem with getting a new
    notification sound when a new email is received. (I tested by sending
    emails to myself).
    Next I tried turning off cell data on the phone, and also removed the
    phone's sim card so that I would be sure it was only communicating
    over my wifi network that it was connected to. Bluetooth is also
    turned off.  I downloaded the Mac OS X Program Eavesdrop[1] and
    started watching the network traffic, sent an email, received the
    notification sound on my phone, and checked the network wifi traffic.
    Surprisingly, there was no connections listed. So how does the iPhone
    know a new message was received? This is repeatable.
    I had the Gmail app running but not logged in, so I tried quitting
    that app and it had no effect: I still received the notification
    sound.
    I tried changing the password on my Gmail account and then
    tried sending another email, and it still makes the notification sound
    after the email is received!
    I have a list of open applications if you're interested in that. I did try turning my iphone on and back off but it still happens.  I realize I could probably fix by re-installing the OS but I'm interested to know what's going on and why.
    I have my iPhone connected to my iMac and running Xcode, when the
    weird email notification comes in there's this line in the console:
    Nov 23 14:43:16 unknown SpringBoard[15] <Warning>: No alert sound
    found at path 'UILocalNotificationDefaultSoundName'.
    AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundIDWithPath() returned: -1500

    Hi,
    I had the same issue for somtimes now and eventually removed the GMail app because the sound notifications I had happened everytime I received an e-mail in my GMail account (including spam).
    Since I removed it, no more problem and my battery life is way better !

  • Notification sound is not working properly

    I have a problem with the notification sounds wether it was for the sms or chat.
    The sound of the notification is not plaid properly, am not sure that i can describe it but try to imagine that the sound was frozen then went on.
    It repeats the sound at first then play the rest of the tone.
    Hope you got me guys, cause it annoys me and i need a solution.
    I have tried another iphone and the sound came out perfectly as i heared when i selected it from the setting.
    Many thanks and best regards,

    You're welcome.
    I assume you have checked the volume level when playing music? The iPhone has two volume levels - one for the phone and when listening to songs or other media, and another for the volume for the ringer, alerts, and other sound effects.

  • Notification Sounds Being Delayed

    Since I've installed Mountain Lion I've been having a problem with my notification sounds not coming through.  For some unknown reason my notification sounds will stop working.  Like reminders and emails.  Even the sound when an emal is being sent from the Apple mail app (the swooshing sound).  But then when I plug in my external speakers through the headphone jack ALL the notifactions sounds and sent emails sounds come through the speakers.  It's like all the sounds get buffered and are waiting for me to connect my external.  Has anybody had this issue?  It's done it on both versions of Mountain Lion.

    I have this as well, it's very weird. I updated to 10.8.1, rebooted, repaired permissions, and it is still occurring.

  • Since i have updated my iphone everytime i open an app it comes up with a message 'connect to itunes to use push notifications, may include alerts, sounds and icon badges, i have backed up my phone on itunes and restored phone but its still doing it, :(

    Return the iPhone and get your money back. It has been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and likely cannot be made
    operative.

  • Push Notifications. The Message "Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications "BBC History Magazine" notifications may include alerts, sounds and icon badges" keeps coming up in Newstand, also happens with National Geographic Magazine. HELP!

    The Message "Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications "BBC History Magazine" notifications may include alerts, sounds and icon badges" keeps coming up in Newstand, also happens with National Geographic Magazine. HELP!
    I have now followed multiple instructions from this and other forums. have turned push notifications off. Turned them on. Have updated to IOS 6. Have signed out and signed back in, have uninstalled all magazines and reinstalled. Have synced, and updated everything in iTunes.
    Nothing works,. Also cannot use youtube.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    It might also be a good idea to contact Square for assistance.

  • I have apps in my notification center on for notifications (like News apps), with banner and sounds, but i never get the notification from those apps. I tried reinstalling the app and restarting the phone but all in vain

    I have apps in my notification center on for notifications (like News apps), with banner and sounds, but i never get the notification from those apps. I tried reinstalling the app and restarting the phone but all in vain

    The apps I currently have are for the i phone and i pad but i would like to see this on this computer
    On the Mac Air launch iTunes. Then connect either the iPad or iPhone.
    Select the iPad or iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
    Then select Apps from the menu on the right.
    If you don't see the apps listed there, from your iTunes menu bar (top of your screen), click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    See if that makes a difference...

  • Is there a solution to getting sounds with safari notifications?

    Hi,
    I noticed that I didn't get sounds with Safari notifications, even after checking the settings.
    So, I took it to the 'Genius' bar, and they said it was a know issue with OS 10.3. It will be sorted with OS 10.4.
    Well, I have just updated to 10.4, and no joy!
    Why? I have selected a suitable sound in sound preferences.
    I have selected 'Alerts' in the nofications preferences for safari.
    I have ticked the play sounds box.
    Why doesn't this work?
    Thanks
    Jeremy

    Right, I've done a restore and ejected the phone. Now it's giving me only two options: either set up as a new phone, or restore from iTunes backup (I don't use Cloud). It's not giving me a sync option so I guess I'll have to restore, unless anyone has any better suggestions?

    No, sounds like when you dropped it an cracked the screen it may have also damaged the logic board or the repair person damaged a cable.

  • My Razr HD will no longer play notification sounds after updating with 4.4.2, it also doesn't use the ringtone that I have selected.

    I've tried setting different ringtones, and notification sounds, but it still doesn't work.  Any other ideas?

        Thanks for confirming CasMcc. Are you stating the notifications are working now? What specific notifications are you having difficulties with? You said calls, messages and media are now working. If something changed it would have to be on the device itself. This issue would not be account related.

  • I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes...  "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play.  How can I get this message to STOP?

    I have 2 games Words with Friends and Cityville that receives a Pop-up message form iTunes...  "Connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" and will not allow me to exit out of the app or play.  How can I get this message to STOP?

    Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications.  I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone.  I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups.  I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either.  Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

  • I'm having problems with facebook notifications.  The sound doesn't work but shows up in banner.  Any suggestions?  I've tried everything but restoring.  Is it a phone problem or an app problem?

    I am having a problem with facebook notifications.  The sound doesn't work but appears as a banner.  I've tried everything but restoring the phone.  Is this a phone problem or an app problem?  Has anybody experienced this problem and were they able to correct it? 

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...

    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again
