  • Sound when email arrives

    How do I get my iphone 5 to make a discrete sound when an email arrives when I am listening to music with earphones? At the moment it vibrates but that is not always enough when it is in my coat pocket.

  • Special sound when emails arrives on a particular account/mailbox

    Hi,
    I have a email account where I'm receiving URGENT alarms.
    So, I'd need two things :
    1) To check this IMAP box more frequently than every 15mins
    2) I need to change the alarm-sound for this particular box
    Could somebody here suggest these type of things to developpers ?

    Ok, so, something in way of an update: Normal behaviour appears to be restored after Mail detects a piece of junk mail and puts it in the junk folder for this account (manual marking of junk doesn't do the trick). Then it works ok until I quit Mail.

  • How to eliminate the "Ping" sound when starting and stopping videoing

    How to eliminate the "ping" sound when starting and stopping a video on iPhone.  Thanks.

    I asked my friends on Facebook and one came up with the answer... I just had to flip the little "ring-silent switch" on the side of the iPhone to cut the "Pinging" sound!  There's probably another way but this works!

  • I'm no longer able to select the file size when emailing a photo. How can I solve this? iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.1

    I'm no longer able to select the file size when emailing a photo. How can I solve this? iPhone 4S with iOS 7.1.1. Thanks a lot.

    Yeah - I tried that, several times; each time I get "iTunes is restoring the software on this iPhone" and after about 30 minutes the screen on the phone lights up again with the same screen I had before.  After that ... nothing.

  • When emails arrive they arrive as email addresses and not names

    When emails arrive they arrive as email addresses and not names from my contact list.
    What gives?
    Thanks

    ok well I think I can confirm your theory by the fact that the few names that do show up are from PCs (where people's names are always entered in).
    Generally, most people enter their name in the Name field for their email account settings with the email client used on their computer, but not always. This is entirely up to the sender and is not required.
    90% of everyone else on my contact list is using mobile phones where names are not used like they are on PCs or smart phones.
    The very same applies to the email client used on a cell phone. I can remove my first and last name from the Name field for my email account settings, or I can enter Allan or ALLAN only and if I use ALL CAPS for my first name or for my first and last name, the name I've entered in the Name field will appear in ALL CAPS when the email is received. If I remove my name from the name field, my email address will appear only with all sent messages.
    This must mean that you too must have a lot of no name emails coming in right?
    Nope, because the overwhelming majority of people that send me email have their name entered in the Name field for their email account settings with the email client used on their computer for accessing the account and with the email client on their smart phone.

  • HT4528 Since updateing with the new IOS 7.1 on my 4s, I have NO sound coming from my speakers or volume control, but I DO have sound when my phone rings.  How do we fix this problem?

    I updated my phone last night with the new iOS7.1  my phone worked fine before updating.  Since updating, I have no sound from music or videos, but I do have sound when my phone rings.  anyone know how to fix this?  I have already done a restore that did nothing.

    Clean iPhone charging port with toothbrush and small amount of isopropyl alcohol. If still problem the faulty part is charging port assembly with flex cable, lower mic, and connector of home button flex. Apple handles this problem with replacement iPhone 4S with Warranty or AppleCare coverage, if no coverage it is $199.

  • 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'. 

  • Since the iOS 7 update, some apps no longer have sound, even of configured to do so. Example, no longer does my FaceTime ring even if I have a tone set; my email app doesn't make a sound when email comes in or goes out. Help!

    Ever since I updated to ios7, sounds from specific apps has disappeared, even if configured correctly to make sounds. My mail doesn't sound off anymore when mail comes in or goes out. My FaceTime no longer rings when someone calls me. My map app no longer gives me voice instructions like it did before. If someone messages me I do not hear sounds anymore. I find it very annoying especially because I have family abroad and FaceTime is an important means of communication. I reset it by pressing the sleep and home button and all, nothing happened.
    Can someone help understand how to resolve this problem.
    Thank you so very much.

    (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

  • Sound when mail arrives?

    When push mail arrives, a dialog pops up telling me mail arrived with a dismiss button. But there is no sound alert.
    In Settings > Sounds > Ring the "New Mail" toggle is ON.
    Is there anything else I need to do?
    Thanks,

    I get a ding when new mail arrives and I'm already in Mail - and that is easy to hear.
    I meant getting a sound alert when the popup "you have mail" dialog appears when you are outside of mail.
    You are correct that Gmail doesn't appear to push. What was happening is that Mail on the iPhone automatically checks for new mail when you enter mail. Since I manually check for email on my Mac, I was confusing that behavior for push.
    However, the Email(i) account received from my cell phone provider, Softbank here in Japan (the [email protected] that I mentioned in another thread) does push an alert about newly arrived mail and that is the popup dialog I was seeing.
    But that message, unfortunately, apparently has no sound alert associated with it.

  • Outlook email shows open when email arrives at BlackBerry

    I am using BlackBerry Internet Service (not the Enterprise service) and synching with Outlook.  When I receive an email in Outlook, it comes in regularly and sits in my inbox unopened.  However exactly when the email hits the BB, and I get notified that an email has arrived to that account, the email in Outlook indicates that it has been opened (when in fact it has not been).  It does NOT show opened on the BB however, only in Outlook.
    I have another email account with Verizon and that works correctly. It stays unopened until I look at it either on the BB or the Desktop.

  • Strange "ping" sound when knocking macbook

    I've noticed a couple of times that my mbp makes a wierd "ping" noise, usually if i accidentally knock it. for example, my mac was on my bed and I sat down and my mbp bounced a little bit.
    Just wondering what this noise is and if its damaging my mac?
    Thanks

    My HDD makes this nasty whine when I drop it down my stairs...
    As someone suggested, you don't want to create anything that will shock/vibrate the HDD, especially when it's writing data. That's a recipe for disaster. The HDD is spinning very fast, and the read/write head is a sliver away from crashing into the platter. Don't do anything to help it.

  • Accidentally created an On My Mac mailbox  Now the mail dialogue box is open and frozen, with a soft pinging sound when I try to close...Can't restart computer until I close Mail, but can't close Mail.

    This is my first day with my Mac and my hunch is there's a simple fix for this.

    Try force closing and rebooting.
