Mail makes way to much noise for just receiving mail sound

I have mail preferences set to alert me when new mail has arrived and have the other option that turns on all the mail sounds off.
Well for some reason when it is sending mail checking mail and there is no mail it make that got mail sound.
I opened up the mail preference file to see if I could see anyhing that might be corrupt. It has other mail sounds listed as no and receive mail sound as yes.
Anyone have an idea why mail just wants to make all this racket for every action it takes when it is only supposed to alert me with the received mail sound?

Leon, when the box in Preferences is unchecked, it is indeed not supposed to make the other sounds, works well on my mac.
Do you have any plugins installed that may interfere?
Alternatively, you may have something corrupt in your pref file. You can check this when you make a new user and add an account in Mail there. You may end up with a few mails in your new account under your new user name but you can forward those and pick them up again in your old account.
You can also make a new pref file:
Open Preferences from within the Mail program and note the exact settings for your email accounts.
Quit Mail
Trash the following file:
your home directory / Library / Preferences / com.apple.mail.plist
and empty the Trash
Restart Mail and re-install your account info.

Getting way too much noise ???

Hi! I'm working on a track with a few synth layers from my korg and other audio etc.. it sounds perfect in logic but like sh*t as mp3.. i tried turning normalize on and it just made it really quiet so i went to amplify it in audacity and it brought the noise back in.. without normalize its good volume but with noise and i also put adaptive limiters on a bunch of the tracks which didn't do much.. id REALLY appreciate if someone could suggest some solutions! either with getting rid of the noise for when i bounce it, or a good way to raise the volume of the track when i bounce it with normalization on, mostly since i can turn up the volume on my computer and theres no noise but amplyifing it in audacity produces noise.. probably cause it messes with the frequencies or whatever i dont know haha but ok yeah thank you for reading! please help!!

Ecibob,
1. You can post images (PNG or JPEG) directly to your thread here. Many people cannot or will not follow external links to look at images. Use the Insert/edit image button in the toolbar at the top of the edit window.
2. There are on-line tutorials which will help you get started with LabVIEW.
3. What part of those signals is noise and what is real force? Turbulence, vibrations in the device, and other things could make all of this real. How are these signals measured? Do you have any kind of signal which can be used to synchronize with the motion of the wing?

How do I make a transpose/octave button for just one instrument in a split?

I work in mainstage 2.2.2 with patches that are using splits, and I want to make an octave button for just one instruments in a patch. Suggestions? (If I press the octave button in my keyboard, the whole split point moves, no good...)
Benny

An octave button for just one instrument will work for some instruments. EVB3, ESX24, ESM and a few others can be assigned. However I was unable to make it work with EVP88 and ES2. Try this example: in layout mode set up a button(or buttons) on your controller keyboard for changing octaves. In edit mode add a channel strip and select an ESX24 instrument. Select the screen control button you want to assign in the workspace. In the screen control inspector, select the mappings tab. The list below will say unmapped. Double-click on it. Select the instrument in the list. Another list to the right will appear. Select ESX24 (Sampler). In the column to the right, select the pitch folder, then select transpose. To the right, you'll see saved value, button on and button off values. This should get you started. Some of the instruments have different menus, so they'll be a little different. Have fun with it.

My powerbook makes a very loud noise for hours!

i dropped my powerbook off my lofted bed the other day and it landed on the ground on the very left side. the charger is a little bent and split (the actual thing you insert into the computer), and the very left side where the charger whole is is a little bent.
however, there's been a noise coming out of my computer like a tktktktkttk noise constantly. it's very loud and disturbing. the powerbook runs fine except for this noise. i don't know if a fan is broken or something. the noise will stop when i put the powerbook to sleep and usually will stay quiet if i'm either running just safari or Word, but if i open itunes or ichat or anything where it needs to start something up the noise goes on for hours.
it started last night for a few minutes, then stopped, and now it's been doing this the entire day.
my questions are:
1. is this a problem with the fan?
2. is there anything i can do to stop it?
3. what is the problem?
4. how much will it cost to repair? i have applecare, but that runs out in feb., and i knwo they won't cover it for accidential damages.
5. any other advice?
6. has this happened to anyone before?

Hi ...
If the sound you hear on startup sounds like a "chord" being played, that's ok. That's telling you your Mac passed it's startup diagnostic tests. But a "whirring" noise.... no, that should not happen.
If it doesn't sound like a chord, probably best to take it back for a replacement. You have 14 days from the date you received the product for an exchange. Beyond that, your iMac has a one year limited warranty.

Recording gives way too much distort

Hello everybody!
I'm trying to record my guitar on the comp by placing a mic (which is plugged into the mic-in) near the amp but the quality of the recording is horrible, it sounds way too much distorted. It used to sound ok on my old comp which had an onboard sound card (AC97).
I don't know what to do.. any thoughts?

I think you would get better results my plugging the guitar into a preamp and the line-level from the preamp into the Line-in of your soundcard. If you search the forum for "guitar," you'll find lots of posts. This thread seems to cover using a SoundBlaster for guitar recording well, especially jutapa's posts.

Remove namespace alias for HTTP receiver adapter

hello all,
I have a scenario, IDOC->XML (HTTPS). Standard output of PI has ns0: as prefix for each xml tag (ns0 alias for namespace)
I want to remove the namespace alias while preserving the namespace in the output. So removing namespace reference in external definition is not a option.
Is there any way to use XMLAnonymizerBean for HTTP receiver adapter? What are other alternatives (java mapping)?
Thanks,
sachin

Thanks stefan, prateek.
Prateek: I checked this blog earlier. It talks about inbound processing. My scenario is outbound HTTP and I am not sure how I can use specific adapter service as mentioned in blog in outbound case as other scenarios are using standards adapter_plain service.
Stefan: I will try this approach.

sachin

HT1338 Multiple dvds won't play. Just make spinning noises for a few seconds then ejects.

Multiple dvds won't play. Just make spinning noises for a few seconds then ejects.

Because this is affecting multiple DVD's it suggests a faulty drive. If you were willing to spend a few $ or € and purchase an external optical drive from any electronic shop, that would be a sound diagnostic step to take; possibly a solution and cheaper than replacing the internal drive if counting labour is a factor.

I forgot my Apple ID security question answers and cannot contact iTunes support by phone. The only way I can ask for help is via email. How can I make that happen?             Thanks

Hi! So I haven't used iTunes in a few months but I just got an iTunes gift card and want to make a purchase. iTunes redeemed it just fine but now that I want to make a purchase I am having problems. I can't remember my security question answers and iTunes is requesting them. I have two other verified emails but the are NOT rescue emails. I can't contact iTunes over the phone because my phone lines are out and are going to be out for a long time. The only way I can contact them is by email. How can I do this? Is there an easy way to just reset all my security questions? Please help a girl out. I just want my music!
Thanks so much

I recently changed my apple id password and I was prompted to enter the new password onto icloud on my mac. The problem is whenever i try to press enter or forgot password or sign out or pretty much anything, it just makes a sound.

It won't let me do anything, I can even try to minimize the window. I tried shutting down my computer and it still pops up. Also, because of this, I can't access anything else in my system preferences. Help!

Hello, I realize this solution is long overdue however I'm posting my solution to help others. I JUST had the exact same problem. I recently changed my apple ID password. Everything accepted the new password except my MAC. When I booted up my Macbook pro, a message would pop up saying "cannot Back my MAC." Something like that. Then I would be prompted, within system preferences, to enter my password. Both my new and old passwords wouldn't work. I couldn't sign out, seek help, click on "forget" and every time I tried something, it would make the "noise" and just shake the message box.
After several failed attempts to fix based on forum suggestions and google research, I stumbled upon a solution myself. I went into iCal, Address Book, and Mail and manually deleted iCloud from each of these. Then I added iCloud back to each of them, using my new password, and the verification worked!! I rebooted my MAC and the same message came up "cannot Back my MAC." I was once again prompted to enter my apple ID password and the new password was accepted!! I rebooted one more time to be sure. Everything was synced.
I hope this helps someone else out there. Very frustrating when something so simple, like a password change, can wreak so much havoc!!!

How much noise should the hard drive make on a MBP early 2011?

Had since May/June last year i5 13" and only since I applied all updates few weeks ago it seems to be louder than it was before?
It sounds like a fan but isn't... obviously. Right hand side of track pad, and covering it, in fact just touching it dampens it to barely audible. Is that normal or has something gone a bit weird? A constant fan noise, which isn't the fan is now there permanently.

How much noise should the hard drive make on a MBP early 2011?
None.
The machine should only make noise if the Superdrive is being used or the CPU's heavily used, going by my Early 2011 17".

It's possible it wasn't installed correctly and/or the case is slightly off so it's resonating the hard drive vibrations.
Make sure you have a internet connection (don't move) and reboot the machine holding the d key down like forever and Hardware Test will run.
Backup your data off the machine, if the hard drive dies under 1 year or three years with Applecare, then go get a new one. else you can replace it yourself with a better one and not void your warranty if you don't break anything doing so. Add more RAM while your at it.

As you know Mac's are made by hand by young Chinese women working 12 hour shifts performing the same function every 7 seconds for only $1.20 a hour. They live 7 to a box room and have to pay 70¢ a meal.
All in all I would say they are very tired, and it's possilbe a few defects made it to your machine.

In a fixed-layout epub is there a way to turn off the faux spine effect for just one pair of pages?

I'm formatting a graphic novel as a fixed-layout epub. Because the pages are generated in Manga Studio with an intended print target, it by far makes the most sense to just use a single, large image for each page. I'm coding the .opf, .xhtml, and .css files by hand, and I more or less understand everything I'm doing.
Because the pages are often full bleed, I actually want the faux book chrome afforded by having <meta property="ibooks:binding">true</meta>. The shadow effect in the gutter gives a nice deliniation between the pages without me having to do anything additional with the formatting.
However... a handful of pages in the book are two-page spreads. These look good enough with the shadow spine in the middle, but they would obviously look better without it. What I'd like to do is identify these particular page pairs as two-page spreads and turn the binding chrome off for just that page pair. I could of course "fake it" by adding a shadow to the pages themselves (except the spreads) and turning off the binding chrome on the entire book, but it'd be a lot easier to be able to do it in software.
Apple's formatting guide mentioned nothing of the sort, and searching for a while hasn't turned up anything (not even anyone asking the same question so far as I can tell). I'm guessing this isn't possible, but it never hurts to ask. Anybody know of a way to do this?

Just found this... Sorry to waste the post...

How can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT - it's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)

how can I save a page and all its component parts in a single file, like IE does as an MHT?
It's much easier for mailing to people where page address not available?? (as in output from an airline booking site, for example)
It is simply too painful to have to zip everything up into a single file to send. MHT format has been available for years now from IE, and with every new FF release it's the first thing I look for. I have been using FF for years, and hate having to come out of it, over into IE |(which I even took out of startup) and key everything in again, in order to send somebody something in a convenient format that they can open with a single click.
I can't believe this hasn't been asked before, so have you looked at it and rejected it? Have MS kept the file format secret?
Thanks
MG

This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment.

Since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?

I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
Hope this solution will help you too,
Enjoy!

What is the best way to make a list of addresses for envelopes or labels? Address book, numbers or pages?

What is the best way to make a list of addresses for envelopes and labels? Address book, Pages or Numbers?

I liek your idea of having multiple images in a grid. I think
that would be the best bet as you mentioned. Having one big picture
would be hard to distinguish the sub-areas with mouse coordinates.
I think checking the coordinates for the mouse would be very
tedious because I would have to check for the left boundary, the
right, top, and bottom for each sub-area!
What do you mean by using button components and reskinning.
Is this simply using buttons and changing the way they look? I'm
just trying to save time and memory, because if I had a 10 by 10
grid, thats a hundred buttons. Wouldn't that slow down the machine
alot? And for that matter wouldn't having a grid of 10 by 10 images
also by the same deal?
Thanks for the input, I'm just trying to find the most
efficient way to do it.

Is there a way to uninstall iOS 8.0 once it's been installed? I didn't realize it would add so much software. Just thought it would update what I already had. Thanks.

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.
