Notification Beeps driving me crazy
I just installed Mountain lion so that it could synchronize with my new ipad mini and have been gradually installing apps. Now my IMAC is beeping every few minutes. I turned off all the sounds in the notification center, but still beeping away.

Does this mean you manually went through each app in the left hand list and unchecked the box?

ok, so if anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. I have a "notification" that goes off every 5 minutes...there is no notification sign to let me know what it is...I have shut off everything I can think of and it is driving me crazy! Any suggestions?
bailey02,
Hmm, that's odd! When did you notice this start? Is your phone and applications up to date?

Ipad intermittant tone driving me crazy!
In the past two weeks, my iPad has intermittantly sounded some tone (four notes with third one raised) with NO other type of notification. I have turned EVERY notification I can find OFF and yet it still sounds from time to time ... I can NOT figure out what this tone is, and it's driving me crazy. I know I can mute the whole iPad, but that's crazy. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to troubleshoot where this tone is coming from?
Heh heh. It is an app. Somewhere. Trying to tell you something. And you may go nutz looking for it. There was one case where an app kept asking a user to give it a rating, and dinged at the same time, middle of the night, if I recall. Anyway, I don't know how much stuff you may have, but look thru your apps for the guilty party. Anything with an alarm clock involved is a first place to look.
When you get bored and frustrated, take a break and read the thread below for Mr Luigi.

Help the dinging is driving me crazy!
I have an iPad and iPod touch and I downloaded the new iTunes version, updated, all that with no problem, but now both my iPad and iPod keep making this dinging sound every 15 minutes or so, even when they are off. I think it's the same sound when you check your email and new email gets downloader. It's driving me crazy, does anyone know how to remedy this? I turned off the notifications in settings, but that didn't help. Thanks for any answers to this.
Try setting both Push and Fetch to Manual, even in the Advanced tab.

The new Mail is driving me crazy by grouping messages together according to subject. My old Mail, under OSX 10.5, listed each message independently in my Mailbox by date received. One line in my Mailbox for each message. How do I get this way of posting messages back again? Thanks.
So nice of you be so responsive. Thank you. Unfortunately, something is just not right even though I pretty much always keep my Macs in good health. When I move that folder (~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail) and let it create a new one, Mail stops remembering ANY preferences. I can move and resize my windows and change my Prefs, but when I quit and relaunch Mail it goes back to some default state with none of my changes honored. Furthermore, when I search for the string "DisplayInThreadedMode" with BBEdit within that folder and all its subfolders, nothing is found.
Maybe it has to do with how many things I disable on the recent OS X versions. I routinely disable Spotlight, Notification Center, Dashboard, Auto-Save & Versions, Gatekeeper, Automatic App Termination.... you know, all that stuff that I never asked for and don't need/want ;-)
Maybe I could try re-enabling Auto-Save or something. Still, no other apps ever seem to behave strangely when I set all these "hidden preferences" to disable these unwanted OS features. Who knows, maybe the Mail team (programmers) just started assuming something was available which they didn't used to assume in 10.8. -
help. my iTunes wont open. I keep getting the message error7 (windows error 193). contacted Microsoft they said contact iTunes support. I have uninstalled all iTunes componets and then reinstalled everything but message still comes up... its driving me crazy.
If it's a Windows error, it's typically going to be a Microsoft problem. Uninstall any security software you have and if you have a restore point for your PC, you may want to restore your PC back to when iTunes was working normally. If none of those work you would need to contact Microsoft and demand help.

How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.
How do I stop iTunes from automatically sorting by Album Artist? Driving me crazy.
I listen to primarily classical music
All of my music was very deliberatley titled by composers "Last Name, First Name" as the artist.
iTunes is changing it to the Album Artist. I have to go in and delete that information - AND THEN IT LATER REVERTS IT BACK!!!
Hours have been wasted and I am feeling so ticked.
Any help?Purchased or ripped media?
If these are ripped mp3s then another possibility is multiple embedded tags. iTunes works best with a single ID3v2.3 tag. Some software creates both an ID3v1.0 and IDv2.x tag. With multiple tags it is not certain which iTunes reads or which it updates, and any device may choose differently. Once songs have the correct info. in iTunes you can use Convert ID3 Tags... None several times, then Convert ID3 Tags... v2.3. The process removes any embedded art but otherwise preserves the data that iTunes knows. You could use my script CreateFolderArt before and after to save and then restore the artwork.
In the long run you may be better off populating Album Artist properly with a copy of whatever is currently in Artist. My script CopyArtistToAlbumArtist can do this effectively.

I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I can no longer back up my iphone to my computer on selecting 'sync'. I can back up to iCloud but I get an error message telling me I cannot backup to my Mac. Can any one help? It's driving me crazy!
Hello joelfromn. charleston,
It seems you are unable to activate iMessage on a device with no carrier service. The following article provides information regarding activation issues:
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
Check your device settings
Make sure that you’re connected to a cellular data or Wi-Fi network. If you're using an iPhone, you'll need SMS messaging to activate your phone number with iMessage and FaceTime. Depending on your carrier, you might be charged for this SMS.
Go to Settings > General > Date & Time and make sure that your time zone is set up correctly.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

In Notifications, my driving time to work has disappeared. how do i get it back?
in Notifications, my driving time to work has disappeared. how do i get it back?
I think it's something you'll want to make sure is turned on in settings.
This is found deep in settings < privact < locations services < system services < frequent locations. That needs to be turned on. -

Mail 2.1.3 on Tiger: mutiples of everything is driving me crazy!
Hi, I recently had to reformat my hard drive and thus have been trying to reinstall all my email accounts (which I had backed up). I am using MAIL 2.1.3.
I have several questions (this is driving me crazy!!):
When I imported the archived files, it created new mailboxes but DID NOT reinstall my mail in it's corresponding email account file (i.e: i have an email account for incoming mail with "username", and then far below I have a mailbox (for EACH account, and I have about 7) which contains all my old mail. I can't seem to merge the two.
When I recreated my useraccounts (most of which are gmail), I followed online instructions and created all my accounts using IMAP, since my first attempt using the POP version of these same accounts would NOT SEND OUT any of my Gmail mail. Now, for EACH ACCOUNT, not only do I have a "regular mailbox", I have the same "imported" from my old version, AND a third folder under "IMAP".... All this is REALLY driving me crazy!!
All I want to achieve is what i had before : one version of each of my email accounts, including Gmail, that both recieve AND send mail. Nothing more.
On the my other computer (leopard) Mail configures itself and everything works: it's bliss!!!
Can anyone help me clear up this mess (also because as a result everything is SLOW!!)
Infinite thanks,
NicaruThanks BDAqua, Unfortunately I did not do a very good job explaining myself.
I am not trying to sync two computers (Tiger/Leopard). The Leopard comment was just me venting that it was so much a better program than Tiger....
No, what I want is simply to recreate my Mail Client the way it looked before: with one inbox per username, a single Sent/Draft/Outgoing mailbox and that's all!!
Instead for each username I have "normal" Inboxes, PLUS imported folders (each with their own Inbox/Sent/Draft mailboxes) PLUS IMAP folders again with their own individual Inbox/Sent/Draft mailboxes). My homepage when I open Mail contains something like 21 folders, whereas I only want the 7 (one per username).
This whole thing came about because when I tried to import my old mailboxes (pre-formatting my mac) they imported as separate folders whereas I wanted them to merge into their respective accounts.
The other issue I had (originally) which led to this mess is that none of my Gmail accounts would SEND mail (receiving is Ok) so I followed the online IMAP instructions and this is where I got triplets....
Gosh, I don't know how else to explain it... If it's still not clear perhaps I should just erase everything and start from scratch??
Thanks again,

Curve issues driving me crazy!!
Ok, so I bought my BB Curve in January, and at first I loved it!
A few days ago though it began going crazy. Everytime I try to open something I get that annoying clock thing, and then once I finally get the program open, it stays. This happens during phone calls (so it is rediculous trying to answer and end calls) writing texts and email - anything.
Then I added in the battery issue - my phone will die within 6 hours, even if I am not doing anything different.
And now...the last few nights the screen has gone white with a weird meesage on it (something like APP ERROR I think...)
I got a new SIM card, and that fixed it for about 6 hours.
This is driving me crazy! i take my battery out so many times during the day it is almost not worth having a phone!
Please please please help!I have the Curve 8130 - my carrier is ATT & for about the last mth it has been sluggish. The hourglass keeps popping up like something is running in the background. I have not loaded any new apps recently & it does starighten out after I pop the battery, but that's getting old pretty quick. Fortunately, I'm not having battery issues - but it is a nuisance to keep fighting with that **bleep** hourglass. Anybody else out there having the same issues or are we just the lucky ones???
Looks like 2 different carriers here, so I don't think it's an ATT thing. Is Blackberry doing something or upgrading something that maybe we're not aware of? I never had an issue with my Curve before - but this last month has been really aggravating. I'm sure we can't be the only 2 people having these issues. Help!!! -
Hi can anyone help me.
Im using LR CC and when i select 2 or more images in develop module and make changes (when auto sync is selected) only my visible image changes (not all selected images).
what am I doing wrong? its driving me crazy!!
any advice appreciated
AndrewNever heard of such a thing - are you sure auto-sync is enabled in develop module?
Note: Develop module and Library module both have a separate auto-sync control (i.e. one can be enabled and the other disabled).
Are you saying that the other images are not appearing changed (previews in filmstrip not being updated), or their settings are not being changed (develop settings unaltered). -
Sound Effects Driving Me Crazy
I went to user preferences -> sounds -> and unchecked "play user sound effects" and unchecked "play front row sound effects".
Yet the sound effects for opening new web pages, clicking on the menu bar, etc keep happening.
They are driving me crazy. How do I make them stop?
- Terribly Vexed.There may be two things to try. 1: update Mac OS X to v. 10.5.4. this may help. The second option is to simply mute the volume. Hope it works!
