Mail loses it's alert sounds almost every time the system goes to sleep
I don't have a clue what's happening, but the alert sounds are restored when I quit mail and restart it. I've checked and determined that Sound is on when this happens and it doesn't get muted somehow. I leave Mail running all the time. This also happened in Lion but not in Snow Leopard. I've tried changing the Sound settings but if there is any change it doesn't last.
Sometimes there are problems.
Somethings to try but probably won't help....
1. Repair Disk Permissions
2. Startup in Safe mode by holding down the "Shift" key....
3. Reset the P Ram by holding down the "Command/Option/P/R" keys at the same time...
The above are standard items to do on any Mac from time to time.
I repair permissions at least once a month....
The other 2 periodically as they do straighten things out when they get out of whack....
Thanks for the feedback.

I have a year-old iMac and Macbook, both on 10.7.3. Every time the iMac goes to sleep I lose wi-fi from Airport Express. No problem with the Macbook or my iPad. It seems a lot Mac users are having the same problem. Is there a solution? Does Apple have a solution?

hi I've just download os x mavericks 10.9 on my macbook pro the trouble is when i am on the internet my screen goes of it keeps saying put in your password how can i stop this everytime the screen goes to sleep
I don't know how you received an upgrade for iTunes. You make it sound like it was sent to you. At most your computer will tell you of a new version and you tell it to download it and install it. However, a computer will not do this for a version which is incompatible. iTunes 10.7 came out a few weeks ago but your computer would not notify you and even if it did, 10.7 would refuse to install on your computer. So this part isn't making a lot of sense.
Two ways to get the 'newer version' message. One is to open your library on a computer running a newer version, and then try to open it with an older version. Usually happens when the library is on an external and used with multiple computers. The second way is if you have multiple versions of itunes installed on your computer.
The newest (and likely the last) iTunes for OSX 10.5.8 is iTunes 10.6.3 which has been out for quite a while.

I have just updated to ML from Snow Leopard (to be able to use iCloud with my new iPhone 5) and after every time my 2009 MB 13" goes to sleep I have to change location in order to be able to navigate the internet. The connection is made but does not work on navigation. Changing locations enables navigation of the internet. I have three locations 'Automatic', 'Home' and 'Neufbox', my one-month-old ISP-supplied 'box' (router + VOIP telephone). I have never had such problems so I don't remember which location was the default although I am inclined to think it was 'Home'. The MB was delivered on Leopard and I updated to Snow Leopard with no problem. I didn't go to Lion. A friend recommended that I do this latest update because I couldn't synchronise the contacts and calendar from the MB to the iPhone and I hesitated after reading the many reports of inherent problems. I now have great regrets.
No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them. -
I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.
I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.
Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.
The only way it will restart is to pull the mains lead out of the imac, put it back and try until it will start.
This only happened after reinstalling. Only Apple OS was on the imac and so it must be an issue with the software I believe.....
Anyone know how to cure this problem please?
Thanks
paulThis isn't a fix, more a workaround I used when I had wake from sleep problems that lasted from some point in 10.6.x, through 10.7 and into 10.8 (got fixed for me in 10.8.2). It seems to be connected with Bluetooth failing to wake up properly:
System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'. -
System alert sounds twice every time I add or delete a new event
This is driving me nuts. iCal sounds the System Alert sound twice each time I add or delete or change an event or To-Do list item.
This started happening last week. Anyone else has this problem?Solved.
The beeping problem was caused by MenuCalendarClock and not iCal. It just so happened that when an update was made in iCal, MCC started beeping and it was not obvious that the beeping was caused by MCC and not iCal. -
I was just trying to figure out if the Mail and Calendar apps need to be launched and running before the mac goes to sleep for them to recieve new messages during power nap.
You must open Mail and Calendar

Mail mail was working fine for months but now I keep getting an error message every time my computer shuts down or even goes to sleep. I get the exclamation point error and when I try to reconnect it always falis. My internet connection is fine and nothing else is losing connections. The only way to fix it is to shut down mail completely and restart which fixes the connection every time, but it's getting really frustrating have to constantly shut down mail and restart it just to use my email.
Bump ???

I keep losing my network connection every time my PowerBook goes to sleep..
...and I have to click on the "Airport pie" to reselect it. Some previous commentors suggested that maybe I had moved System Preferences to my Utilities folder (moving it back to applications seemed to correct it for them), but I haven't, it's still in Apps where it always was.
Months later it's still going on... has anyone else out there encountered this problem or have an idea how to fix it?
Thanks!Revroth,
I can't cure it but you are not alone. Gonna watch this post. Am trying the 'click lock' to prevent change but sometimes gotta convince the ibook that the airport hasn't left the building. Thales -
I offiially hate our mac. Would work with a PC in a heartbeat.
Are you referring to the Dock?
If it is the Dock that is bothering you, type: command, option, D (all three keys together). That will bring the Dock on the screen permanently.
I do not know how to remove it permanently. -
I like to listen to books on my iPhone. I like music. It'd be SO NICE if I could continue on with the same story or the same song (or even the same artist / album) if I get interrupeted with a text or I decide to take a photo and send it to somebody. It seems like almost every time I take a photo and send it, I end up with a new new song playing. Or, if I'm in the middle of an audio book, suddenly have music playing when I turn back on the sound. I know I'm not the only one having this problem. I happened to mention it to somebody yesterday and she knew EXACTLY what I was talking about. She also expressed her frustration. I'm running iOS 7. I didn't ask her what she's running. Anybody else want to chime in? Any fixes that anybody knows about?

Library file corrupts almost every time Itunes restarts
I have three issues which started around the time I upgraded to the latest new version:
1) Almost every time I shut itunes down and go back into it, it claims that the library file is corrupt, and starts re-importing it from the xml. If I restore the library from a backup, it works ok first time I load, but then if I shut down Itunes again, it corrupts again. It does this almost every time I shut down and restart Itunes. If I allow it to reimport the library from the xml file, I lose all my podcast settings, so I prefer not to do that.
It seems that if I take a backup of the library file after shutting down itunes, I can use that backup succesfully. This would seem to indicate that the corruption or issue is occuring when Itunes starts up, and that the library file integrity is ok after shutdown.
2) Twice in the last week, 2 of my purchased albums were deleted from my c drive. They were still in the library, but the files had vanished. At first I thought I had messed up and deleted them by mistake, but the same thing happened again to exactly the same songs a few days later. This is worrying when Itunes starts to delete your music without any message or warning.
3) Not sure if this is coincidence or causal, but since I upgraded to the latest Itunes my computer seems to have become generally less stable - applications crashing on startup and so on, including even taskmgr.exe crashing, which is obviously not a good thing at all.
I have been using Itunes for several years with no issue up to now.
I have seen on this forum that quite a few others seem to be having the same issue in the last week or so, but I didn't see any solutions yet. If anyone has any ideas, please help?
thanksI finally fixed it, what I did was I backed up all my music files to data disks, then I deleted everything from my computer that was related to itunes or apple. I even deleted all of my music on my hard drive, then I restarted my computer and re-downloaded itunes and it was as if my computer had never seen itunes before and I restored my music into my computer and itunes, and it was never a problem. Maybe this can solve alot of the the problems people have relating to this error.

on our iMac, we keep getting the message "safari has quit unexpectedly." It used to happen occasionally, now it's almost every time we start Safari. Help!
Can you post a copy of the crash report?
Go to your Applications Folder and open your Utilities Folder. Open the application Console.
In the left-hand column, click on Crash Reporter.
Click on the small triangle under Crash Reporter in the l/h column and they will all be listed.
Scroll down to the latest Safari report and click on it.
Now click on the r/h column (which now only shows THAT crash report and then Command-a to copy it all.
Come back here and Command-v it to post it here!
