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)

  • 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.

    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.

  • Fetch new mail messages does not work

    On my notebook the fetch new mail messages does not work
    Settings:
    - Fetch new messages:     every minute
    - Play sound Purr
    I need to us the manual button.
    On my imac it works fine with the same accounts

    My mail sounds are all screwed up. I hear the plane fly when I send an email but when I receive mail, no sound. I have rules set up which worked in Tiger. One rule is for mail to play a message "You have a message from "John Doe" when I receive an email from "John Doe" but it only plays when I send "John Doe" and email. Assbackwards.
    Sometimes when reading new mail, it just disappears. I have to click on it again. I find this version of email to be very flaky!

  • New mail sound suddenly stopped working

    I assigned a 'new mail sound' (wav file) and for no apparent reason suddenly stopped working. Anyone else experienced this ?

    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.

  • My new iPad sound is not working after updating to ios 6.1

    My new iPad sound not working after updating to ios 6.1. Headphones are working fine. I tried all the troubleshoot. can anyone know the answer, plz share with me

    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!

  • ICloud new mail count badge not working in Mail v 5.2 Lion but is working in Mountain Lion on other machines

    I've upgreded 2 of my 3 computers to Mountain Lion, and all seems fine on those 2 machines, but on my older Mac Pro which is not compatible with Mountain, I'm having a problem where the new mail count badge is not showing up either on the iCloud mail box or as part of my total in the dock count badge.  New mail badges is showing up for my other mail boxes, just not iCloud.  I've removed my iCloud inbox, and have re-enabled it and it's still not working.  If I had the problem right at the time I installed Mountain Lion on my other 2 computers, I didn't notice it, so I don't think this problem is related to Mountain Lion on my other machines.

    Glenn,
    Regarding adding and deleting the System Drive from the Spotlight Privacy Tab...... I'm following your sequence, but when I come back to Spotlight Search in the menu bar it just works the same.... no mention of indexing. What's interesting is that "Mail" dosn't appear anywhere in search results when a keyword search is performed via spotlight.
    Regarding the "enevelope Index Files" ..... I followed the instructions and quit and re-opened mail as instructed.  When I re-opened Mail I selected "continue" and the program began to index the contents of mail for about 30 minutes.  I thought that would would fix the issue, but it's still not working. 
    I've tried to compare the account setup from my IMAC which works fine to see if I have something setup wrong in the account, but everything looks the same. 
    I guess I can try to re-index again?  Don't know what else to do? 
    Thanks,
    Bill

  • 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 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!

    Sound is not working for Siri, voice mail, ringer tones, movies or music. I was told by verizon that the speaker maybe out, but that i might want to try and reload or update my itunes by plgging into my home computer... will this help and if so how do I do this?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Can't get new mail sound to work

    i recently updated to Lion and set up my gmail account on the 'Mail' application on the imac.  My sound is on, and i enabled the new mail sound, however when i get a new email, it doesn't make the sound.  What should i do?

    I had the same problem but that was because I had the wrong sound-output selected. Make sure it's set to "Selected sound output device".
    System Preferences > Sound > Sound  Effects
    Hope this works for you as well.

  • Sound on new iPhone 4 does not work

    I recently bought a new iPhone 4 and found out that the sound does not work at all without headphones being plugged in, this means the ringtone, message tone, music and every other sound that can be produced will not work, help??

  • 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
