Mail notification (sound) will not change

I cannot seem to get the mail sound to change (on my iPhone5) from the sound I had on my 4s (backed up and reloaded through iCloud).
I have changed the sound in "settings" and regardless of that sound is chosen, the "News Flash" WILL.NOT.GO.AWAY
I even changed it to "None" and the "News Flash" sound still chimes.
Anyone have this issue?

Ok so the first things that you would need to determine are as follows:  This is the best way to get this to test and see if it works for you.   First things first, set aside all the notes on configurations that you would need for 2 Accounts to configure with email.  Prior to doing this, do the reset as listed above in the directions of this post's reply.  Once you have it reset, then do the following steps:
1.   First , set the mail notification Sound by going to Settings > Sounds > Mail , and change this here to something other than default.
2.  Add your first email account first to the phone using the Mail Accounts and do New.  Once you have added the new account, just this first one, send a mail message to it from a PC/MAC and test to see if the sound is working other than the default meaning the sound you changed it to. 
3.  Once you have conifrmed that it's working this way, next you will need to do, is add the 2nd account to the phone, and test that you can get mail on it.
4.  Now that you have both accoutns, you can go into Settings>Notifications>Mail>and you will see both accounts listed there .   For me it's : Exchange, LiveMail, Icloud in that order.   All of these are clickable with touch.
5  Touch one of them it will open the menu to allow you to change notifications including sounds.
CHANGE all 3 accounts sounds using step 4 listed and then after you have done this for each of them accounts, test by sending emails to them.
Let me know if you need help.
Thanks.

  • IPhone notification volume will not change

    Every iPhone I have on iOS 7.1.1 has this same problem. I change the ringer volumes to the second to lowest, and the notifications and keyboard clicks still sound Luke they're on full volume. One of them has a broken vibrate motor so I can't just leave it on silent like I can with the others. What is the problem? It's extremely frustrating to have to miss notifications due to the permanent silence.

    Try to set the tone at Messaging > Menu button > Settings > Notification tone.

  • Mail - picture signature will not change

    I'v changed my "picture signature" (the picture that appears at the top of emails)by going to my account at .Mac - mail/preferences/photo then saved it etc.
    Now - if I send an email from the .Mac page it shows the new photo, but when I send an email from my Mail account on my computer it still shows the old one.
    I've found these instructions about deleting a file:-
    "Drag the file named "<username>@mac.com" to the Trash. It is located in this path: o ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.addressservices/Photos/<username>@mac.com "
    But these instructions are for whatever OS was around in 2003 and don't make sense now. Anybody know what to do ?

    go to photo booth and replace your account photo.

  • What can I do to change the sound of a track in garageband?  It is "stuck" on electric piano setting and will not change. I've tried restarting, restoring sound library, full key reset, and checked for updates.

    Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
    No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

  • Outlook 2013 new mail notification sounds can't be changed

    I've got a weird issue with Outlook 2013 on Windows 8..  I've read several other posts that are kind of similar but they don't really apply.
    So, Outlook 2013 uses the "Desktop Mail Notification" sound event..  unless I change the .wav file assigned to that event.  Then it instead uses the "New Mail Notification" event.  Then when I change the .wav file assigned
    to THAT one, it changes again to instead use the "Notification" event.  Then when I change the .wav file assigned to "Notification," Outlook just won't play anything at all when receiving new mail.  It just flat refuses to use
    anything but the default .wav files.
    Has anyone run into this before?

    Hi,
    To change the new mail notification sound, please try the following:
    1. Right click the sound icon at the right bottom to open the sound settings.
    2. Under the
    Windows section, change both the Desktop Mail Notification and New Mail Notification
    events to have the same .wav file for the sound you want played for them.
    3. Then click OK to test the result.
    Thanks,

  • Mail notification sound missing?

    Hi every one, this is regarding the mail notification sound in Mail application of Mac OS X Mountain Lion.
    I've configured in setting of the inbox account of mail to notify with sound whenever I recieve a new email, but unfortunately it's not happening.
    So what's the remedy for the concern???

    HI,
    For most apps the Alert Sounds are played by System Preferences > Sound Sound Effects where the volume needs to be high enough.

    Hello dthlah,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your Wi-Fi option on an iPhone 4S is greyed out. The following article explains this issue and potential resolution:

    Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    2. Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings
    3. Ensure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    4. If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTunes.
    If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options.

  • My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't

    My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't now. I just went to my churches web site to watch live service and again no sound. I grabbed my dads iPad and the sound works fine.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • I have two Apple ID's associated with my e-mail and Facetime will not verify the one I use.  How can I eliminate the other ID?

    I am running to into a problem using Facetime as I seem to have two Apple ID's attached to my e-mail.  Facetime will not verify my e-mail address because it is associated with the other account.  What can I do???

    Some things are mixed up here, seemingly...
    I seem to have two Apple ID's attached to my e-mail.
    An Apple ID is a valid email address, apparently. How can those be "attached to your email"... what email?
    Facetime will not verify my e-mail address because it is associated with the other account.
    This doesn't make sense. You can register multiple, even non-Apple-ID, email addresses and their aliases with FaceTime.
    So, maybe you can explain your problem better - what you want and the steps you've taken and what you have so far. If something doesn't work, please tell the exact error message, too.

  • Finder Icon will not change! Please help!

    I have been customizing the look of of my dockbar on my imac by giving all of my apps new ios 7 style icons.
    Yesterday I changed my Finder icon with no problem at all by going to:
    System→Library→Core Services→(right click 'Dock'→Show Package Contents)→Contents→Resources.
    And replacing the two png files (finder.png) and ([email protected]) with my new images. Yesterday I did this all perfectly fine and it changed to my new icon.
    However today I found a better finder icon and decided to change it again to this new version. However what ever I try it will not change to this new icon.
    I have followed the exact same steps as before, I have replaced my two png files from yesterday with my new ones and I have checked and re-checked that I am naming the files correctly, and that they are the right format etc.
    I have even deleted my original icons that I changed it to yesterday and emptied them from the trash but it is still there even after restarting and shutting down and rebooting.
    I have also tried going to terminal and typing 'killall Dock', it still returns with the same icon that I changed it to yesterday, even though I have deleted them from my hard drive.
    Please help me this is so frustrating and have wasted many many hours on this.
