Play Sound Rule Acting Backwards

Hi,
I've created a Mail rule that my MPB should play a sound when From is my wife's email address.
However, incoming mail from her does not play the sound. The odder thing is that when I email her -- which is to say when mail goes out -- the sound plays.
Anyone know what's wrong here? Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
Thanks,

I am experiencing this exact same issue, although it does occasionally work as configured. Most of the time though, no sound is played until I reply to the message. If I create a new message from scratch, the sound isn't played. I upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 and the problem remains.
I have a rule that is configured to play a sound if any conditions are met, with three conditions set to the from being equal to a specific email address.
The email is processed by another rule that states if the sender belongs to a certain group in my address book to highlight the email in a different color. I'm going to try removing the person from the group to see if that helps.
Any ideas would be appreciated!

Snow Leopard Mail - Bouncing Icon/Play Sound Rules Cancel Each Other Out

I recently saw a movie which featured many closeups of a MacBook Pro being used; every time the actor got an e-mail message, the Mail icon bounced in the Dock AND played the New Message Sound. In the current version of Snow Leopard Mail, you can create a Rule to 'Bounce Icon in Dock' when a new message is received. Unfortunately, this disables the New Message Sound. When the user adds another Rule to 'Play Sound', this rule disables the 'Bounce Icon in Dock' feature. At this point, both Rules display as being active, but only one of them works. Anyone know how to get both the New Message Sound AND the bouncing icon? (The actor was able to do it in the movie, but maybe that was just special effects.)

Look at that:

You can use both rules together (sound & bouncing)

The sound doesn't work. It's set appropriately in settings, the volume is turned up all the way with the side buttons, but no volume. When we try to play songs, it acts like it's going to play and then goes back to the play list. Restored and still no

It's set appropriately in settings, the volume is turned up all the way with the side buttons, but no volume. When we try to play songs, it acts like it's going to play and then goes back to the play list. Restored the device and still no sound.

Try A and B
(A) Restart iPad
1. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
2. Drag the slider to turn off iPad.
3. Turn iPad back on, hold down the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears
(B) 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

Lost Mode and Play Sound are "Pending." However, iCloud indicates that it connected and backed up to iCloud at a date that is 1 week after it went missing. How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)

Hi,
My wife lost her iPhone two weeks ago while on vacation in London (cell service inoperative in foreign country). Using Find My iPhone app on my device, I activated Lost Mode and Play Sound. However, both are listed as "Pending," since it those actions require the phone to connect to the internet (wifi only due to no cellular data coverage.).
We recently returned home and purchased a new iPhone.
However, when looking to restore the apps/settings from her old phone using a previous iCloud backup, iCloud indicates that the old phone connected to iCloud and backed up the original phone at a date that is 1 week after it went missing. How is this possible without locking (Lost Mode Pending an internet connection)?
If the phone was activated and connected to the internet via a wifi signal, shouldn't it immedately lock, show up on the map, Play Sound, and send me an email that the phone has been found?
I also read somewhere that if running iOS 7, the iCloud website interface enables you to track previous locations, for instance if the phone moves from wifi hotspot to hotspot. Is that true? If so, how do I do that?
Thank you for your time, and have a great day!
Sincerely,
- Matt

just giving this a wee bump as time is of the essence here and i need advice/ answers quick!

Play sound in specified duration and desired file when reading data with VISA functions ?

Hi.
I read data with VISA read function and then I use functions like multiple for showing data on Chart. every thing is OK.
now I want play a specified sound (like a 3s song in my desired folder) when signal amplitude cross over from specified value. then after desired time, it will be wait for new cross over from specified value and this procedure repeat again until I stop the program.
Data comes from MCU and it doesn't stop when system play sound and when system play sound, incoming data for this part (play sound) will be ignore them until specified expired.
I use this VI for reading data and mentioned part which is sound part is empty and I don't know what I must done ?
altougth I use another while loop for sound apart because I want save CPU time.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would recommend making the data type of the notifier a cluster that contains a path and a numeric (double). The path tells the player which file to play. The numeric is the duration.
Now for a slightly complicated, but really neat, way to stop your second loop. Do not use a second notifier. Instead, send the normal notification but use Not A Path for the path in the cluster. Your second loop can do a check for the Not A Path and stop when that is recieved.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

IPhone randomly stops playing sound out of iPod docks?

I recently plugged my iPhone 4 iOS6.0.1 (the new update recently put out by apple) and it has stopped playing sound out of any iPod dock I plug it into.
It plays sound normally out of the speakers and charges while on the dock. Has anyone had any problems similar and any solutions?
Also I have restored my whole iPhone this morning and it still has the same problem. My husband doesn't have this problem and he has the iPhone 3.
Is this a bug with the new iOS6.0.1 and is Apple going to put out a new update anytime soon to fix it? Or do I need to send my phone away.
Thank you.

It can't be 3 years old since the 5G iPod was first introduced in Oct 2012
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

My iPhone 4S wont play sound out loud...

It's acting like it's plugged into a speaker, which it's not. It will not play sound out loud, and there's no volume bar. And when it does, it's literally for 2 seconds then goes back to no sound... I have no idea what made it start doing this. It was not dropped or anything.... Any suggestions?

Is the Silent on? the little button on the side near the volume, If it is it will be orange. That might be your problem.

IPod stopped playing sound out of speakers

I have an iPod touch 5th Gen which is around 3 years old and today it suddenly stopped playing sound out of the speakers. If i put headphones in sound plays fine out of them but as soon as I take them out no sound comes out even if there is something playing.
The speakers were working fine around 20-30 minutes before I realized they weren't working and my iPod has been doing nothing but sitting on my desk in that time. I tried restarting my iPod but this didn't fix the issue.

My Macbook Pro wont play sound through Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter on toshiba television anymore. The sound plays through sony or samsung television, but not toshiba television.

I have a Macbook Pro early 2011 running on mountain lion version 10.8.2. A while back, i purchased a mini display port thru HDMI port so i could watch dvds on my toshiba television. it all worked great for a while, then the sound just stopped working. At first, I thought the mini display port connector must have broke, until I plugged it into a sony television and it worked. I also tried using it through a samsung television and it worked just fine. Why does it not work through the toshiba television anymore? The picture works fine, but the sound does not come thru the television anymore. My mac is set to play sound thru the HDMI port and it doesnt. When i switch it to built in internal speakers, the sound comes thru my mac, but when i switch it, no sound comes out. Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thank you!

I am still waiting to receive a response from them, but i dont think they'll be much help. the television still works fine and all of the ports on the back, including both HDMI ports, work perfectly.

Won't play sound when on the internet

Just recently my HP 2000 Notebook PC will not play sound that comes from the internet. When i play music or DVD's on my computer I can hear them perfectly. The minute I get on the internet to watch a video or a movie or even video chat I can't hear any sound. I've tried resetting the computer to see if maybe that helped but it didn't. Also, when you go to the control panel to test the speakers they work fine. Also, when I plug in my headphones the sound won't play through those either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, lrc2.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

Help! My phone will not play sound when an app is open?!

Seemingly out of the blue, my iPhone stopped playing sound through the external speaker. This began about a month or two ago and I have been unable to fix the problem. The sound will play through the external speaker until I open another app (safari, camera, etc.). The sound used to work through headphones until this morning. Now the sound won't work... At all! I brought my phone to an apple store a week ago and the first guy checked my phone with a flashlight and told me first that there didn't seem to be any water damage. Then, some other technician helped me. He opened iTunes and miraculously, the song played! I couldn't believe it was magically working. He explained that it looked like my dock connector was looking a little eroded and that is why the sound doesn't work. He said he could try to brush it out and that should fix the problem. Tried my phone later... Volume doesn't work anymore! The dock connector works fine otherwise, I am still able to charge my phone. My phone will not play music via bluetooth speaker. I talked to multiple people on the phone who all seem to think it's a software problem... I am really not understanding what is going on with my phone! I have googled this problem many times in the last few months and most people say that it turned out to be a software issue. I have checked both water indicators (in the dock connector and the headphone plug, right?) with a flashlight and I don't see any red... Any insight or ways to fix this would be very appreciated! The whole thing makes no sense to me.

Are you using an APple charger or a thrid-party one? I ask because if you are using a third party charger, it may not be wired properly and it may be telling your iPhone that the cable connected is also an audio interface so your iPhone may be sending the audio signals through the cable to the charger. I have a charger in my truck that also doubles as an FM transmitter so I can play my iPhone audio through the truck radio. Your charger may be doing something similar, especially if it is not an Apple charger.

How do I tell Apple to fix their software like apps that play sound even though the sound is turned off and not being able to disable features you hate like game center

Apple is suppose to be the pinnacle of usability and, yet, I want to throw my new IPhone 4s as far as I can and watch is smash into a million pieces on concrete. Seriously, I've already got three things that irritate the **** out of me. First, there are Apple apps that insist on playing sound even though the sound is turned off. If I flick a switch to turn the sound off, I want the sound off!!!! Second, if I do not want a totally unnecessary feature like Game Center, I should be able to disable it. I completed most of the Angry Bird levels with 2 or 3 stars and now I have to start over from square one. Maybe, this happened when I upgraded to the 4s but it sure seemed to happen when I joined Game Center. Tomorrow, I am going to reset my 4s to factory defaults to try to get rid of my Game Center account. I don't want Game Center! I do need Game Center! I hate Game Center! Finally, I had an alarm go off to wake me up and there was a Snooze button but no button to turn the alarm off. I flicked the slider to access the main screen expecting to see something to turn the alarm off but there was nothing. The alarm just kept alarming. I had to warm boot my IPhone to shut the alarm off! Really, Apple!!!!

The sound is turned off. Only, some Apple apps like YouTube and Siri make sound when the sound is turned off. It is very embarrassing when this happens at work. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
Turning off game center does not work. The games just prompt me to sign in when they are started.I have tried everything I can find online to stop this behavior. It is annoying and should not happen. My question was how do I tell Apple to fix this?
The alarm went off. There was a green thing that looked like a button but pressing it did nothing. There was a red button that said snooze. I did not want to snooze. I wanted to turn the alarm off. I slid the bar to unlock the phone and there were no running apps with a button to press. The alarm just keep running. I have not had this problem since it first occurred. The alarm now shuts off when I just unlock the phone. It may have happened because I had another alarm app running. The two may have interfered with each other. I would like to tell Apple about it.
It also annoys me that the button that closes apps leaves the phone app running. If I press on a number at 6:00 AM to get information about who called me, the phone automatically dials the person back and my natural reaction is to press on the button to close the phone app but the phone keeps dialing this person at 6:00 AM. It is a bad design. I would like to tell Apple about it.
Finally, I looked all over Apple's site to try to find someplace I could send them a polite message to let them know that I was not happy with these "features" but could not find anything. It is extremely frustrating to have issues with a product and not being able to tell the manufacturer about it. So, you grow up!.
When trying to fix the Game Center issue, I saw a link someone posted to report issues with the IPad to Apple. The answer I am looking for is where is the link to report issues with the IPhone.

Can I have a mouse-over function to play sound?

Hello all,
I have a flash graphic here www.stainlessrhino.com top left
corner. What I would like is for the graphic to play (soundless as
it does now) when the page is loaded, however, if the user mouse
over the swf a sound would play once. How would I accomplish this?
Is it possible?
Thank you!

There are several ways to do this. The easiest way is to
attach the sound to the graphic. Do this by editing the object you
want, create a layer called sounds. Click on the first frame you
want the sound to play in, press F6 to create a keyframe. Click in
that keyframe and look in the Properties window. In the box labeled
"Sound:" (go figure) you select the sound you want to play.
If you are using a roll-over listener you can use the
Sound.play() method to play the sound in the function. AS3.0
example:
myGraphic.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,
myOverFunction);
function myOverFunction(event:MouseEvent):void{
play.sound(mySound);
I recommend searching for "Playing Sounds" in the help
documentation (F1).

Only one application is able to play sound at a time.

I installed arch on my desktop a couple weeks ago (finally 100% windows free ), but I've been having the hardest time getting audio working flawlessly.
At first I was having problems using the correct sound card as default, but It seems I have that working now. I can get sound to play, but only 1 application can access the sound card at the same time. If I have spotify playing and I try to play a youtube video in browser, the video will play for a few seconds with no sound and then completely crash. If I pause spotify and refresh the youtube page, the video will play. And also, while a youtube video or anything else is playing, any other application will refuse to play sound.
I guess this is an issue with ALSA. My sound card seems to be blocking other sources.
If I run speaker-test while something is playing I get this output:
speaker-test 1.0.27.2
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
And for possible helpful information, here is the output of aplay -l

card PCH
So what am I missing here?

As always happens when I have issues, I try to solve it myself for hours on end, finally swallow my pride and post on the forums, and then find the solution on my own an hour later.
Found the solution here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 003#p70003
I took the asound.conf that iphitus posted and changed the ctl.dmixer to use my sound card, which is PCH as determined by asound -l.
here is my asound.conf:
#/etc/asound.conf start:
pcm.!default {

slave.pcm "dmixer"
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug

pcm.dmixer {
