Notifications for Mail and Calendar don't work properly

I only receive the Notifications from Mail and Calendar,
when those applications are open and running.
(yes, I have Preferences set to Alerts (not banners),
all the following boxes are all checkmarked:
Show in Notification 5 Recent Items
Badge app icon
Play sound when receiving notifications).
I receive Notifications regarding other apps,
such as Reminders, just fine, even when Reminders is closed.
I usually have Mail and Calendar closed (not running)
therefore I miss virtually all Notifications from those programs.
If I have to have the programs (Mail and Calendar) open all the time,
what's the point of Notifications?
When Mail and Calendar are open and running,
they alert the user with their own alerts
(without need for Notifications).

That is the expected behavior.

I am also on my forth hard drive on the same model.
When I unpacked the computer, the hard drive did not include OS X either. Actually, it was completely blank. Did not even have a partition table! I have also had random problems with the machine not charging.
I have replaced the drive myself with an SSD after figuring the Apple Certified technicians were incompetent. Now even the SSD is starting to fail
I have bought an HP laptop and setup Ubuntu on it. Hope it turns out better than my previous four various Mac models. All have had various repeating hardware issues that Apple Certified technicians have been unable or unwilling to correct.

TS3297 What do I do if music files purchased/downloaded for the iTunes store don't work properly?

What do I do if music files purchased/downloaded for the iTunes store don't work properly?

Buddhabeat...clicking on the "Report a Problem" button next to the song(s) in question, should open a drop-down list menu, that allows you to select the specific issue/area of concern that you are experiecing (or you can select a generic "My problem is not on the list" (or something to that effect). Underneath this drop-down menu box, there should be another message box where you can describe the issue/problem your having. Below this message box will be a "Submit" button...clicking on that will send your message to the Apple iTunes Store Customer Support Centre (you will see a confirmation message that your message has been sent), as well as receive an email notification from the Support Centre confirming your message has been received, a case number, and that you will receive an email response pertaining to the issue/problem you're having, from the Support Centre asap (usually within 24 hours). That's how it worked for me, anyhow.

Will iCloud mail and calendar sync still work after upgrade to iCloud drive?

on my imac and ipad i was asked to upgrade iCloud to iCloud drive. will my iCloud mail and calendar still work on my iphone 4 with iOS 7 after i choose to upgrade?

Yes. iCloud Drive doesn't effect synced data such as calendars, contacts, notes, etc. It also has nothing to do with iCloud email accounts.

HT3576 Can you get sound notifications for mail and iMessage with the new iPad. Under general sounds I have a sound selected for both of those. My volume is turned all the way up but I still don't get sound notifications with these apps. Suggestions?

I have sound turned on under general> sounds. The volume is all the way up and I can hear it when i adjust it. However under notifications sound is not an option for mail or iMessage. Just badges and alerts. Both of which are on. I would really like to hear my notifications. Any suggestions.

1. Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right
2. Check the volume and mute settings

Color Swatches in Toolbar for Fill and Stroke are not working properly.

The color swatches in toolbar for fill and stroke are not functioning as they should. When I select an object on the artboard, the swatches display fine in the toolbar for what they should be. However, when I double-click on those swatches from within the toolbar to modify the color, the color which comes up is #000000 instead of the actual color it should be.
I am using 16.2.1 (cloud) for Mac OS 10.8.2
I've submitted a bug report, but want to know if anyone else has had this issue and what they did to resolve the issue.
Also, the eyedropper tool is buggy and occasionally places the #000000 into an object instead of the characteristics the eyedropper is selecting. I don't have any hidden layers or weird groupings, it just randomly decides when it is going to work or not.
I've never had these issues on previous versions of illustrator and have been proficient in all versions since 2007.

Double click the eyedropper, and turn on appearance, is off by default.
For your #000000 color problem that also likely is related to appearance setting. You may have for example have some with #000000 at the character level, and another color at the type level.

Mail and Safari don't work- Java cocoa plugin missing

Hi,
I've been doing some java programming and while building classpaths and changing the default java version I did something bad: Neither Safari nor Mail work correctly. I always get the same error message:
Dyld Error Message:
Symbol not found: _JVMGetJVMsWithCurrentArchitectureForTask
Referenced from: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaPluginCocoa.bundle/Contents/MacOS/JavaPluginCocoa
Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/JavaVM
Can anyone help?

I did that and the result is:
Safari is the same as it was- faulty.
Mail can't even start as it says the version is too old for this OS...
Software update doesn't recognise the need to update the mail, I tried dowloading the mail update 1.0 but apparently its only for mac osx 10.5.6, so I can't install this one.
Do you have any other ideas?
Now I reckon I somehow need to find a way to update mail- do you know which update should i download? Perhaps it was a combined update? And since this didn't solve the problem do you know how can I reinstall java on my mac?

Equium A300D - microphone and speakers don't work properly

I have an annoying problem.
With my sound card on its default driver, I cannot get the microphone (front jack) to pick up anything.
Yet when I upgrade with the latest drivers I then lose the onboard speakers and can only get sound by plugging in external speakers.
Can anyone help?

Hi!
I dont understand why the onboard speakers not work with the latest drives.
Did you download the driver from Toshiba?
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Furthermore you should check if you have the newest BIOS version. There are two BIOS versions available: One for Vista 64bit and one for Vista 32bit. So choose the right one make the update.
Bye

ISO web wrapped app(s) for Google Mail and Calendar that have push notifications but don't download any data

Does anyone know which apps are web wrapped for allowing IMAPing to mail & calendar have push notifications but don't download data to the device?
Basically, our enterprise would like to allow users to use personal iOS devices to access mail, calendar and contacts (we're on Google Apps). However, our strict security requirements are such that we need to make sure the app isn't being "overly helpful" and saving the accessed data in a cache or pulling it down to the device in any way.
My quick test for checking if apps don't pull down data to reside on the device is to put the device in Airplane Mode. If you can see your email or calendar
entries with an app when it's in airplane mode, then it's pulling the data down or caching it in some way.
I've tested the Google Gmail app and the Google Apps Browser from G-Whizz and both fail this test since they cache the last mail and/or calendar entries accessed.
The only legit way for users to access our enterprise mail and calendar is through the browser only. However, they can't get push notifications or alerts for new emails or from their calendar. The concern and likely outcome is that users will just set up an account on the native Mail app using IMAP, either knowing and disregarding that it's a security violation or not really understanding that they're committing a security violation.
I gotta believe there's an app for that.
Any help be greatly appreciated!

The living issue is complex in my case. Legally speaking, I have no personal residence globally. I just live wherever my father goes, which is everywhere. I'm an expat and it seems that these sites aren't really expat-friendly. They seem to be built for localization and assume everyone stays in the same place.
I don't know what I'd be considered. I'm a US passport holder and live in China, but I only speak some Chinese and I can't read it (it using non-latin characters is just too much for my mind's memory to handle). Besides that, I'm not interested in popular Chinese apps. They tend to just be annoying and kooky and generic and put together badly, often full adware and spyware (speaking for most Chinese software, in fact). In fact, a lot of apps I want are illegal in China (YouTube, Facebook, etc) and I use a VPN to use the services. I assume I wouldn't find these apps on the Chinese store. In fact, last I checked, there wasn't many English apps on the Chinese app store. This is probably due to their strict moderation or something.
I've been going to international schools since I got here and college would be in English too. I can speak some Chinese, but not read it.
Well, I guess the answer is that I can't use the App Store in English. So I guess I'll just sign out everything on my phone involving my Apple account and just start using third-party tools to do my business.
