No sound effects for iMac

i have to ask since i can no longer find the "search" feature in the discussions...
i have a new iMac that is not generating any sound effects (mail sent, trash emptied). i have the output set to "SoundSticks" wich are working as iTunes plays fine. there just aren't any sound effects. does anyone know why?

the funny thing is...so had i. when a solution is so simple, it can be the most difficult to discover. like if the house keys are in any other place other than where they usually are...they have DISAPPEARED. or, in my case, they have been stolen by a notorious ring of professional thieves who also steal loose change and the occasional sock.

Looking for sound effects for Keynote

I need some great sound effects for my Keynote presentations... Help.

There are no sound effects supplied with Keynote.
A web search will find many sources of sound effects, some free, some for purchase.

I can't find a appropriate sound Effect for motion template.

Hi,
Like my title say I can't find a appropriate sound Effect for motion template. I am using the template that goes by SATIN and There I choose SATIN BLUE-MENU.
In that Template we can see a blue Sheet flying by. BUt I am totally lost to get a nice sound for that. So far I could not find any sound for that. I never Worked with sound Effect. I appreciate any tip.
What is better only sound or a music playing with it? What kind sound goes with it?
Hope to hear from you all.
Thanks

I think you need to give us a little more information. Which program are you currently using? Soundtrack Pro, Motion, what? What does the Satin template do?
It sounds like what you're looking for is a "whoosh" effect -- like maybe a gust of wind or something like that. In finder search for the word "whoosh" and then select whichever drive has your Apple loops. You'll find a plethora of whooshes.
Of course that may not be what you're looking for. You'll have be be a little more specific with what the picture is that you're trying to add sounds to, and even then, it's still your artistic choice.

Have lost system sound effects for Finder

such as when you delete a file. Under "preferences" > "sound" everything is turned on. The only suspicious thing is that under "sound effects", in the line right below the box offering all the effects (bottle, frog, funk, glass, etc.) the "internal loudspeaker" is greyed out so that I cannot select it. (Sorry if the terms are incorrect - I have a German OS and am translating them).
I really miss the sound when deleting a file - it has saved many an untentional deletion! I feel like my Mac has gone speechless...
Can anyone help me recover the warning sounds for Finder?

No need to reply. I've solved the problem with a pram reset

Can you license sound effects for release on albums?

I am curious to know if it is possible for Sony Music or a similar company to license the sound effects from films and television shows onto albums. Of course, the company that Sony has been contracted with will need some form of agreement in order to allow the sounds to be released without legal issues between the companies nor with the customers.

Hi ARAJediMaster,
Thanks for the post. For questions regardng Sony Music please visit http://www.sonymusic.com/ for assistance. They are better equipped to help you. I hope this helps! >Joffrey

Why do I lose the sound effects for mail on my MBA and not the other Macs I have? Running ML.

Why do I lose the sound effects in Mail for sending and receiving on my MBA and not on my other Macs? Running Mountain Lion. The problerm seems to be related to the sleep mode. When the MBA sleeps and then wakes up the sounds are missing. If I shut down and restart the machine the sounds will be back but only last until the maching goes through a sleep cycle.

Primarily because, as ron245 points out, there is only ONE speaker on the bottom.

Sound effects for animated builds

I'm using Keynote 6.2.2 on a 2013 15 inch MBP with retina display running the latest Mavericks. I am trying to apply some sound effects (from the Garageband library, converted to MP3 format) to animated builds - specifically, the sound of a typewriter applied to text using the Typewriter build, and a crashing sound applied to an image using the Anvil effect.
I have searched the web, these support forums, Keynote help, and tried all the manipulations of the Build Order that I can think of, but whatever I do I cannot get the sound to actually play during the build. It will play if I click on the icon on the slide, but not as part of the build. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there some simple setting I am missing? Is this a known issue in Keynote 6?
Any help appreciated...thanks...John

To make the animated builds work correctly with the sound effects and build in the correct sequence, I had to use the Build Order panel to place the sound effect before (above) the build object, then adjust the timings to make it all hang together.
Every time I placed the sound after the build object the build sequence went askew and everything seemed to build at once, ignoring the sequencing in the Build Order panel.
cheers...john

Turn off sound effects for iTunes volume changes?

I've started getting audible squirt-noises each time I use the F9 or F10 or F11 keys to raise or lower iTunes volume. How I go back silent changes?
I've checked iTunes help and Googled a few things and unchecked all the sound effects in Apple System Preferences but no luck. I want to keep using the keys, not the slider.
Thank you
Don

Did you mean to ask this in the Tiger OS forum? Your computer information says you are running Leopard. I can request this post be moved to the correct forum.
In Tiger you can toggle "play feedback when volume is changed" in the System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects preference pane.

Missing video effects for iMac g5 w/ external iSight cam

I have a G5 iMac with an external iSight camera and I'm wondering why I do not have the option for video effects while using photo booth and iChat. My wife's macbook does include video effects, so my first bet is that Apple decided not to give me the option with my OS upgrade. Anyone have a way to remedy this without spending over 2K again?

DP, he has Photo Booth and Front Row, its the effects in iChat that he can't use, and I do think that's an intel function.

All sound effects for AIM in iChat do not work

I tried to see if anything was muted in System Prefrences, and everything seemed OK. When I test the sounds in iChat preferences, they seem to work fine, but when I am instant messaging they do not work. Any assistance would be appreciated.
iMac g5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi Parker244,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions
Do you have Developer Tools installed ?
This would let you look at the .plists with Property List Editor and you could see if the sounds were set in com.apple.ichat.plist
If not delete it anyway and restart iChat.
It is in Users/(Your Mac account)/Library/preferences

Sound effects for transitions

Hello
I was watching a TV show recently and during the transitions they played a whooshing sound FX to emphasise the transition. Does anyone know where I can get hold of these sounds?
Regards
Adrian

Eric-
For the most part, iMovie HD works on 10.3.9. The only reason you need 10.4.4 is for themes (chapter title pages ect.).

I don't know about HD TV, but you can use all the features except for themes

How can I make cuable sound effects on seperate tracks for use in the theatre

I need to make cueable music and sound effects for a play I am producing. I wonder if I can do this with FCE. The effects need to be on separate tracks on a CD so that the guy running the show can skip to the next track and push play. Help!

Wouldn't iTunes be more appropriate for this? There doesn't seem to be any video involved.

Free sound effect problem

Hello,
I have previously used findsounds.com to get a wealth of sound effects for imovie projects. However, now I cannot get any of the sounds to import to my movies. Is there some setting I need to adjust in iMovie HD to make this work? Thanks.

I will have to add that one to the FAQ nice find. If QT can play it it "should" import. I always make a habit of converting it to an AIFF file before importing it to iMovie.
If if you can hear it but cannot get QT to play it then you need a program like Audio Hijack and have it save out an AIFF file for import.
