New email sound alerts not working

Hi, I have tried setting up a rule to make a sound effect play when a new email arrives but whatever i do it does not seem to work - has anyone tried this? I just want a little noise to sound when a new email arrives but I get nothing with a correctly set up rule. . . . . .

It works fine for me, selecting a sound there in Preferences. If all you want is for any arriving email to trigger a sound, that is all you need, rather than trying to set up a rule.
Two things you have probably tried: One, make sure your sound is on, rather than muted. Two, delete any rules you may have tried setting up to play sounds and try it with only the Preference enabled; it's possible the rules you've set are interfering with the Preference doing its job.

  • Sound alerts not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9

    I just noticed my Sound alets not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9.
    I'm using soundsticks which is playing sounds thru quicktime, itunes, etc but my alert sounds for getting new emails and IM messages is not working. I get the quick "white flash" on the screen instead. I checked the prefs on both apps and it is set to give me the alert sound, I can even test it in the ichat pref when I change the new message alert sound it will play it thru my speakers but when I get a new message in either app it just gives me the white flash.
    I'm read that it can be an issue of not having the balance in the system sound pref set the middle, so I checked that, restarted, all that but still no luck.
    I really like the sound alert features because I can be in another part of my house, turn the sound way up and I'll know when one of my clients is trying to reach me but now I can't do that.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Email sound notification not working?

    Hey everybody,
    I know since the 2.1 update has came out alot of people have been having a problem with there push/fetch email not working as well as me. The only way for me to get any notification that email has arrived is to check it manually. I have learned to live with that till 2.1.x comes out but now I am noticing that even when I do check it manually, and I get the little number telling me how much email I have next to the specified account, I am noticing I don't hear the sound telling me there is new email? I used to be able to hear that sound? I have check the sound settings and email notification is turned on. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if it's just a thing that 2.1 has done.
    Any help or comments would be much appreciated
    Thanks

    Jim,
    A .me (MobileMe) is an IMAP type account, and this behavior is well known for it, if in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced it is select to use the IDLE command (which is to enable Push email that people like to use when accessing via cellphones. Is this the case?

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same issue as everyone above. I only get sound through the slider on the ringtone in settings and through my headphones. I do not get any sound anywhere else at all.
    I Have tried:
    - Updating to iOS 6.1.3
    -re starting the device
    -checking that the device is not muted. My slider switch is set to mute rather than lock and is unmuted.
    -going into general settings and reset all settings
    -the device reset several times (waiting until I saw the all important apple logo)
    -removing the last few apps I installed.
    Nothing at all has worked, please help!

  • Receive Mail Sound Alert Not Working

    I had to remove and subsequently add my gmail account to rectify a problem. The problem was resolved by this action however since performing activity I no longer hear the message sound alert. I have checked all of my settings and sound volumes etc. and everything is set up correctly. I've even changed the sound alert to another sound but it still doesn't work.
    Any suggestions??

    Hi Barry,
    Thanks for your suggestion but I'm not quite sure what you mean by the preference file..is it in mail preferences, sound preferences? If you could provide a bit more "hand holding" for me, it would be appreciated.

  • New mail sounds iphone5 not working

    Doesn anyone know why the sounds for New Mail do not work?  Only vibrate works. Thanks.

    For some strange reason, my mail sounds are not
    operating. I have a certain sound selected to
    announce incoming mail, but as of today, it doesn't
    ring. Nor do I get my "No Mail" sound. When I go to
    System preferences>Sound, none of the sounds play
    when I click them. Other sounds (iTunes, voices,
    etc.) work OK.
    Does anyone have an idea as to how to fix this? Maybe
    deleting mail .plists?
    Thanks.
    If the sounds don't play in the Sound Preference pane then deleting mail.plist won't matter.
    Check in /System/Library/Sounds. Do the .aiff files open and play in QT when you double-click them there? If not you'll need to run repair disk from disk utility and if they still don't work after that you'll want to see if you can replace them.
    If they do work, then try pulling the following to the desktop and logging out and back in:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences/By Host/com.apple.systempreferences.XXX.plist (where XXX is a random string)

    Hello lins2681, 
    Welcome to the forums. 
    Try clearing your Sound Profiles database using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager as shown here: 
    How to clear the user content databases from the BlackBerry smartphone
    Remember before doing any of the steps in the article to backup your BlackBerry data. Here is how to backup:

  • 10.5.2 - New Mail Sound Still Not Working

    Just installed 10.5.2 and the issue that discussed in this locked thread has still not been resolved.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5934092#5934092

    Just to add my empathys .... every day I dream longingly of the good old Tiger days when my computer just worked and I could feel the joy of having abandoned Microsoft years ago. Now that I run what is clearly Microsoft Leopard (hey, Apple had to get someone to bang together an operating system while they were busy drooling over their own iPhone and all the $$$$ it has created, and this cat has MS pawprints all over it) Im beginning to wonder whether its time to move to Linux.

  • Alerts sounds are not working after upgrading to iOS 7.1.2

    Hi,
    I've noticed that all the alerts sounds are not working anymore after upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.1.2
    I’ve reviewed similar posts regarding the same issue; and it seems this is a common issue in iPhone 4S when upgrade to iOS 7.1.2.
    Apple, please Advise if there anything I can do to resolve the issue especially that my work deepens on the push emails and alerts that requires prompt response.

    I got this issue resolved.
    It caused due to some dirt in the charger slot; such dirt caused the phone to assume as if it is connected to a car kit and that is why it does not produce any sound except the Ringer and the Alarm.
    It has been fixed by cleaning the charger slot by toothbrush! with some
    drops of a cleaner.
    Do not do it by yourself, as it might be a risk; rather, let it to be done by an expert.

  • Got iPhone 5.  Really Disappointed!  After 2 days, alert and typing sounds are not working.  Camera is terrible!

    Bought iPhone 5.  Really disappointed.  Within 2 days, alert sounds and typing sounds are not working.  Camera is terrible.  My old HTC One S was far superior!

    First, no, it is not showing orange.  I checked the silent button immediately.  Then I checked the sounds section of my settings, but all is good there.  When I get a phone call, it rings fine.  Alert and typing sounds are not working.
    Second..., yes this was a technical point (in which I was hoping someone else might have had the same problem, with a solution), as well as a complaint (definitely one worth making as it is not a minor issue - it is important to hear text alerts when you have children).

  • Sound on new iPhone 4 does not work

  • Upper speaker in my new iPhone 4 does not work properly. I hear strange sounds instead of speech. What to o?

    Upper speaker in my new iPhone 4 does not work. When somebody calls me I hear only strange sounds. Please, help!

    A couple of other things you can try -
    With my 2010 Ford Fusion (and SYNC) I received the same not optimized message a few times. There were several things I had to do but eventually, I got it cleared up. Not sure exactly how this will translate to your Toyota but maybe it will.
    - Try resetting the iPhone via a power off/on or a hard reset where you hold the home and power buttons. Then power back on and plug into your USB port.
    - In my case I had an issue with SYNC in my car where I needed to reset the USB port in my car. Not sure if Toyota has something similar. The fact that you said it won't charge makes me wonder if the USB port got disabled in your car. This happened in my car and an easy reset for me was to remove a fuse for a few minutes and replace.
    - Update your iPhone in iTunes and resync it there. Then try connecting again in yor car.
    - Delete and re pair your iPhone from your Toyota system
    Hope something here helps. Thanks
