New Mail Alert Tone no longer working

I didn't change any settings and in my preferences, it's still set for the new mail alert tone to sound when I get new mail. However, as of yesterday, it's no longer working. I still get the sound when I send mail out, just not when new mail comes in. How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Carole

Ok, this is weird. This morning my new mail alert tone started working again. I have no idea what made it stop, or what made it come back on.

IOS7 mail alert tone

iOS7 new mail alert tone can not be changed from default tone; will even chime when no tone is selected.

Figured it out: Must delete email account and reinstall.

How can I turn off the New Mail alert on my iPod Touch?

I have an iPod Touch (version 6.1.3). The other day I was waiting for an important e-mail, so I turned on the New Mail alert. It worked fine. Now I want to turn it off, but I can't. I went into Settings and then to Sounds and changed the selection from the sound I'd selected ("Bell") to None. It says "None" but every time I get a new e-mail, it still makes the bell sound.
I also tried going into Notifications and then to New Mail Sound and setting it to "None" but that didn't change anything
Any ideas what I'm missing?
Thanks!

Try removing the mail totally from your notifications center.
I have everything turned off and the banner set to none.

I recently updated my iPhone to the new iOS and it no longer works with my inbuilt car bluetooth. Is it possible to restore to my previous iOS system?

Delete the pairing and then re-pair the devices.
There are no supported methods to downgrade the iOS.

Is there any way to change the sound of the New Mail alert.

My partner and I both an have iPhone 4. Is there any way we can change the sound of the New Mail alert. It is so confusing because we never know which phone just got a new mail.

Unfortunately due to the restrictions of iOS there is no way to change the New Mail alert sound. One way around this is to have one of you to set the phone to silent and the other not. Then when the person on silent gets a new email the phone will vibrate and the other person will get the audio alert.

"new mail alert" order

I'd like to have the option of displaying incoming mail in the "new mail alert" in "reverse order" with the newest email on top rather than the oldest. That would make this function much more helpful!

Do you have any rules that delete messages after they arrive? That would cause this sort of activity. Like, you create a rule to automatically delete any incoming eMail from your inbox and the server that contains the word "Enlargement". When an eMail with that word comes in, your incoming mail alert will sound, but the rule will delete the eMail immediately.
Make sense?

Mail Alert tones not changeable

The MAil alert tones should be changeable and volume adjustable. One small beep is not sufficient to hear in most environments.

How can i use a ringtone file as an alert? ( New mail, Text tone )

I got a file i want to use as an alert tone for New mail, but it is a .m4r file. I want to use it as a New Mail sound. But when i tried to use it, it just uses the previous alert tone i had selected.. Spell.

I understand, where did you try changing it? In the Settings > Sounds?
Try changing it here:
Settings > Notifications > Mail > select the mail account > New Mail Sound

New mail alert has stopped working

I use Mail with my .mac account and a few days ago, Mail stopped alerting me when I had new mail. I've tried changing the new mail sound and I removed com.apple.mail.plist from my Preferences folder but that didn't fix the problem.
I really like hearing some sort of sound when new mail arrives in my inbox. Anobody have any ideas about what else I should try?
Thanks.

This sometimes happens to me too, as well as my alerts with iChat. I have to restart the computer and that fixes it for me. Hope that is the case with you as well.

Message Alert tone/ringtone stopped working?

My iPhone's message alert tone/ringtone has stopped working. My iphone4 firmware has been upgraded
to 5.1.1. i've also reset the phone, but it didn't resolve the issue. Pls. Help... thanks...

My alerts sounds work briefly after a restart. Then at some point (can't say how much time passes with certainty) they no longer work. The volume adjustment sound is gone as well as the alert sounds such as an incoming mail message.
A restart temporarily returns the sounds. I've zapped PRAM but that doesn't solve the problem.

Mail Accounts Shortcut no longer working in Lion

In Snow Leopard I heavily relied on some custom shortcuts for switching between my different email accounts when sending mail as outlined in this site: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20081120093222315 . Then I upgraded to Lion and much to my chagrin, these shortcuts are no longer working. I have tried everything to get them to work: resetting passwords to defaults, repairing permissions, deleting my universal access and keyboard .plist files. What I have noticed is that it may be a problem with the "<>" characters used by mail in this field. When I create a shortcut in System Preferences I will type "SV <[email protected]>" and exit System Preferences. When I go back in it says ">SV <[email protected]>". No matter how many times I go in and try to fix this it doesn't work. If anyone else is having this problem or if anyone has any suggestions, Please Help!

This is difficult to sort out without hands on access to the webapp. I think Firefox should still allows your webapp to detect the Shift+F9, or at least it does in this simple example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Test Shift+F9</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Try Shift+F9<br><input type="text" name="textinput" size="25" value="sample value"></p>
<script type="text/javascript">
function keys(key){
if (!key) {
key = window.event;
key.which = key.keyCode;
if (key.which == 120){ // F9 key
if (key.shiftKey){
alert("Shift+F9 pressed!");
} else {
alert("F9 pressed without Shift!");
return false;
document.onkeyup = keys;
document.body.focus();
</script>
</body>
</html>
It's possible that a change in Firefox 19 is interfering with the function triggered by the Shift+F9 keyboard shortcut. Is there another way to run it to see whether that might be the case?

Annonying mail alert tones!

Lemme just start off by saying I'm super excited to finally get Exchange support on the iPhone. I set it up today and it works pretty well. The 1 thing that bothers me is that new mail message alerts can only be turned off or on for ALL email accounts. I'd like to have the phone audibly alert me when I get when I get mail on my personal accounts (yahoo, gmail, mac) but not on my exchange office mail (since I can get 100's of those a day). Taking it a step further, I'd like to maybe be audibly alerted when I get mail in a specific folder ONLY on my Exchange mails. For example any email that goes in a folder marked "Personal" in my office exchange mail I get alerted for and not the other mail in other folders within that account that I'm getting.
Not sure if Apple will ever fix this, but I'm sure I'm not the only one having these issues or would like this fix.
Thanks!

Email folder not showing "new mail" alert

I have several email folders on my blackberry. When I recieve an email it only shows up on the "messages" folder. My previous BB would show the new mail indicator in both "Messages" folder and the specific email folder it belonged in. If I go to the specific folder, the email is inside, it just will not alert me to this folder. Hope this makes sense.
Currently I have 4 specific email folders, a text folder, and a messages folder.
How can I fix this?
I have an 8310 that was just replaced by another 8310 thru insurance coverage.
Thank you very much!

Not sure if this will work but try going into your email and hit bb menu key and choose message alerts and make sure you have a notification set for each one
Hope it helps

No new mail alert sound in Mountain Lion

I did a clean install of ML, In Lion when I had an alert sound when new mail arrived, i cannot get it to work in ML.
It is enables in mail, and also in sound preferences as well, but still no sound when new mail arrives.
Anyone else?

After trying many methods. I found this a temporary fix. The solution is to set a rule in Mail Preference to run an Applscripts if there is new email. This Applescript will play a notification sound of your choice:
tell application "Mail" to if (count of (every message of inbox whose read status is false)) isgreater than 0 then do shell script "afplay '/Applications/Mail.app/Contents/Resources/New Mail.aiff'"
You can change the path /Application/Mail.app/Contents/Resources/New Mail.aiff to any folder that containt an aiff file. For example: /System/Library/Sounds/Glass.aiff (in this folder you can find all the alert sounds of Mac OS)
Applescript Editor
1. Open Applescript Editor in Applications folder
2. Paste the script in after choosing your notification sound path
3. Save in ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail (can name it New Mail in my example)
4. Now you can choose the script in Mail Rules setting
For the Mail rules setting
Open Mail Preferences then Rules then Add Rule. The setting like photo

It works like a charm !!!

Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.
