No sound in powerpoint e-mails

When my wife views some powerpoint e-mails on her PC there is a music accompaniment.
But, when she forwards them to me, the presentation opens with Keynote and there is never any sound.
I notice that there are Quicktime controls but they are not available to use and the volume is all the way down. Can you help?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4)

Does your iMac have an Intel processor? If it does and you have Bootcamp, this is what can be done:
- boot into Windows and open the pps presentation using Explorer
- save it as Web page on the desktop (it becomes a folder)
- open the folder, locate the sound files and drag them onto the Windows desktop
- boot into OS X
- double click the Windows icon on your desktop and drag the sound file onto your OS X desktop
- If the file is in some Windows format, you can use Audacity to change it to a format Quicktime understands
- if the original file was pps change it to ppt and put the sound file back in.
Of course I can watch the presentation when I'm running Windows but sometimes I just want to be able to see it as many times as I wish in the comfort and safety of OS X

Since ios7 i no longer hear the sound when i send mail

I no longer hear any sound when I send mail. It worked perfectly before upgrading to IOS7 (swoosh)

(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Make sure sound is not muted in Control Center; tap on the little bell. Swipe upwards from bottom of screen to launch Control Center

Mail sound settings set to None but still receive notification sound for all new mail

My sound settings for new mail are set to Alert Tones: None, Vibrate Only, but I still receive a sound notification for all new mail. Why is my phone not recognizing the setting? I have turned off and back on the phone numerous times hoping that would help, but it has not. How can I make the phone recognize the settings that I have purposefully set?

afhammerC,
So I understand: you have friends whose iPhone 4S's do vibrate when mail is received in silent mode, and no sounds are selected for new mail, but vibrate is selected for silent mode?
Just want to be clear.
My wife has an iPhone 4S 16gb, and it appears she has the same problem as well.
As an aside to the issue, I really wish there was a way to have a timer on the notification center so we could put one, many, or all apps' notfication to sleep during a specific time period (say, during the night). V. annoying to have to disable notifications separately. Would love a way to turn them off between, say, midnight at 6am.

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.

Every time I toggle between silent and regular sound the sound effects disappear on mail how do I fix it?

With headphones?
With speaker?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I've lost the 'whoosh' sound when I send mail. How do I get it back?

I used to have a 'whoosh' sound when I sent mail but it has disappeared. How do I get it back? I'm using a version 10.9.1 Maverick upgrade.

Thanx Tony T1. I have been having issues with mail ever since I 'upgraded' to Mavericks. Why doesn't Apple leave things alone? Now I often can't scroll in Mail and have to shut down and restart Mail to get it to work. That never happened until the Mavericks 'upgrade'.

Mail app quit making sounds when sending/receiving mail.

Mail app quit making sounds when sending/receiving mail. It was fine yesterday and just went mute today. I have Mac OSX 10.7.2 and a MacBook Air. Is there any way to fix this easily?

I have the same issue. I'm wondering if I'm sending out viruses.
Is this a common issue?
Has this been solved?

Disable sounds from received e-mails

Hello everyone,
how to disable the alert sounds for new e-mails sounds?
Thank you for your help

ronm,
What I can do on my Pearl 8130, and possibly you can on your BlackBerry, is this:
1. Separate email from SMS/MMS: Do Messages > Options > General Options > SMS and Email Inboxes: Separate. This will create a new Home Screen icon--a folder named SMS And MMS.
2. Now you can (optionally) hide the Messages icon since SMS/MMS messages go to their own folder. For your email messages...
3. You should have icons for each of the email accounts you have set up on your BlackBerry. I assume you have one or more personal accounts and one or more business accounts. When a message arrives, the icons will tell you which contains the new message. And messages will be kept separate.
I hope this works for you.

What happened to the whoosh sound on my outgoing mail?

What happened to the whoosh sound onmy outgoing mail?

Dear Scotch27:
i am so sorry it did not work for you! I know, it is really really frustrating, as i have been having this problem for many months! I have not gotten Mountain Lion yet...maybe i won't! LOL!
btw, i got this reply from another poster, on a similar forum, so i copied it here to see if it would work for you...it didn't for me, but it did, for many other posters:
Go to applications/utilities and run Audio Midi Setup. Click the Builtin output link in the left pane click the down arrow next to the right-mast element after "Format" and change to something else, then back to what you originally had there. All pent-up sounds will come rushing through your speakers and you'll be OK with Mail sounds until it happens again. This worked for me in OS X 10.7 Lion; the problem seems to have been fixed in OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Good luck!
this post was from Chazcone, in a discussion question: "Re: "New Message" sound not playing in mail 5"....i really hope it works for you! i think it is ridiculous, that this is obviously a KNOWN bug somewhere within apple mail (icloud?), but no one has seriously looked into it, and/or fixed it, most especially in the new ML!!! let me know what happens, and i will pass along anything else i find to you re: this issue....good luck, and so sorry my "solution" didn't work for you!

Is there a way to get multiple email accounts on the front page of my Iphone? Also I would like to have different sounds when I receive mail in the different accounts. Is this possible?

Is there a way to get multiple email accounts on the front page of my iphone instead of just the generic mail icon? Also is there a way to get a different alert sound for each email?

No.
You need to review this (WYSISWG):

Mail 4.1,not playing "new message" sound, and some sent mail not in outBox

For some reason, no "new message" sound is being played (has been like this for a few weeks), and some (~1/10) sent mail does not show up in the sent box (been like this for a long time).
And yes, preferences are set to "play new messages sound"
Any ideas?

I would guess that's an IMAP account, go into mail preferences and select advanced tab for that account and uncheck use IDLE command and the new mail sound should work.
Not sure about the sent mail problem.

No sound witn powerpoint

Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I have no sound for anything downloaded from email, including power point. I googled and it seems like a lot of people are experiencing the same thing,but no solutions were given. I hope someone here can help me.
Thanks.

How to import sounds in Powerpoint to Captivate?

When I import Powerpoint slides into my Captivate show, the animation displays, but the sound effects in the Ppt slide don't play in Captivate. The sound file comes from Clip Organizer and is a Wave file and opens with Windows Media Player.
I really need to finish this show, could somebody please help? Much appreciated!

Hi there
If the file is in WAV format try this. Click Start > Run, type sndrec32 into the Run dialog and press Enter. This should open the Windows Sound Recorder application. From inside Sound Recorder, click File > Open and navigate to the WAV file. Click File > Save As and choose the Change... button at the bottom of the dialog. Make no changes and click OK. (this action should convert the format to PCM encoding)
Now that you have changed the file try importing into Captivate again and see if it works.
Cheers... Rick

Sound Alert for Incoming Mail Not Working

I have searched for a solution to above but not found any. All settings are correct in Mail Preferences and Sound Preferences but the lack of a sound alert when mail arrives still persists.
This problem exists on all three Macs - 15' MBP, 24 iMac and 27" iMac - how weird is that?
Any help would be appreciated.
Joe

Joe, go to Mail --> Preferences --> Accounts. Now do this in each account affected - click Advanced and uncheck "Use IDLE command if the server supports it".
Now send yourself some test messages. You should now hear the new mail chime. Let us know if this resolves your issue. Cheers!

Importing sound from powerpoint 13 to Captivate 7

I am converting powerpoint 2013 using the high defintion feature. Is there a reason this is not working. I thought captivate 7 converted all animations and audio. Is it related to my selection during the recvording process in powerpoint related to sound file type. Cna this be avoided in the future when I record in powerpoint? Thanks for your help.

I've seen this issue reported by others. Unfortunately I have no explanation for why it doesn't seem to work. Earlier I tested by recording and importing to create a project from PPT and my audio came in just fine. I'm using a Windows 7 PC with Office 2010.
I know that doesn't help you resolve the issue for the moment, but you do have options here.
Option one is to use Captivate's "video recording" feature and capture system sounds. Then play the PPT and record it as it plays using Captivate.
Option two is to locate the .PPTX file using Windows file explorer. Copy it and rename the copy from .PPTX to .ZIP. From there you are able to extract the assets (such as the desired audio). Then you may add the audio separately to either an object or as slide narration in Adobe Captivate.
Hope fhis helps a smidge... Rick
