Repeating alert sound for email.

Hi,
My iPad seems to be repeating the tone associated with email. It plays it 2 times. No matter which tone I use the same result.  I looked everywhere and could not see  any  sign of where else it may be defined.  Any idea how to update ro not repeat alert sound.
Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

Have you tried rebooting the iPad? I have never seen a way to set the email notification to repeat the sound so maybe a reboot will help.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Is it possible to play different sounds for emails and instant messages ?

    Hello,
    I was wondering if it was possible to play different sounds for emails and instant messages. I am using Thunderbird quite often with both emails and instant messages imported from Gtalk.
    I think it would be very convenient to be able to distinguish both sounds as they do not imply the same things.
    Thank you very much.
    Olivier Hubert.

    Did you change the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID? Tap the old ID and sign out and then sign in with the new one. If not running iOS 6 it will be Settings>Stores>Apple ID.

  • Custom sounds for email notification

    I've read with exhaustion topics on ringtones but I am interested in custom sounds for email, text notify, etc. Is this possible with the iPhone?

    oh, well. I still love this thing.

  • My iPhone 4s refuses to make alert sounds for one contact.  All other text messages from other individuals, including iMessage, all make appropriate alert sounds.  Very frustrating.  Any help out there?

    My iPhone 4s refuses to make alert sounds for messages for one particular contact of mine.  All other text messages come through with appropriate alert sounds.  Any help out there?

    As always seems to happen, the next thing you try ends up working. Well almost. I
    Deleted the contact and sent a message from that phone to mine -- problem persisted
    Deleted the person from my FAVORITES in the phone app (the entry still existed even though the contact had been deleted). This worked!!!
    It's kind of weird that the favorites in the phone app were somehow affecting notifications in Messages for a contact that had been deleted, but there you are.

  • How do I create different alert sounds for various notifications?

    i'm not near the techy many of you are, but this question is way basic even for me.  sorry.  but my phone makes the same sound for every single notification, new text, appointment reminder, battery fully charged (although that one always comes if and only if i wake it up, so sometimes it is on the charger longer than it needs to be ), download complete... it is the sound i set up under the settings, but i wonder if there isn't a way to change the particular sound for certain types of notifications so when it is across the room making noise i can register what sort of notification i'm getting without dropping everything i'm doing to go stare at my phone.  and how do i get it to repeat/remind me of these notifications if i happened to miss the alert sound the first time? i am usually good at just figuring this stuff out, but at this point, my guess is it isn't possible. does this mean an app is my answer? recommendations? thanks!

    Individual text message ringtones per each contact is not a feature of the stock message application. You will need a third party text message application from the Android Market for that.
    Individual ringtones for phone calls from contacts is an option under the People/Contacts app.

  • Alert sounds for no apparent reason

    Several times a day a get an alert sound. I think it is the "sosumi" alert. But nothing apparent occurs when it sounds. I don't get any new emails, nor do I get a window with any information, directions, warnings, or anything else.
    Any ideas?

    Yep, I do have Skype, but I've had it for a long time. These alerts sounds started only recently.
    You should still check it to make sure the alert sounds haven't somehow been changed or turned on (if previously off). You also need to check any other apps that you have running, including anything in System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Items. See if any of those might have some kind of audible alert sounds.
    Shouldn't an alert sound be accompanied by something on the monitor screen?
    Not necessarily. Depends on what the developer of any particular app decides to do.

  • Except for telephone ringtone, all alerts sound for only a few seconds following latest os update

    After updating my Z10 to the latest operating system this week, I found that alerts for my BBM, Wotsapp, Sms and email only sound for about 8-10 seconds.  My ringtone for calls is played in full though.
    All of the alerts used the correct tones (.mp3 tracks); nevertheless, I reset them by navigating each app to the correct alert.  But nothing changed.
    Is there a way to resolve this please?  I need more time to hear an alert when not in a quiet environment.
    Has anyone else had the same problem?
    Many thanks.

    Hey everyone in Apple world!
    I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP!  Yessssss!!!
    I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process.  Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal.  No flashing yellow screen anymore!!   
    (Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
    Let me know if this works for you!

  • Alert sound for no reason and typing 9's by itself! help!

    this started a few weeks ago.. when im typing in email 9's will show up between the letters I type and when I stop typing .. sometimes 9's will sow up like the key is being held down and my alert sound will sound like Im doing it over and over.. it doesn't always do it.. but when it does it will do it on and off all day until I shut down..sometimes it stops sometimes not.. I have also zapped the pram.. didn't help? any ideas? any help?
    Rebecca T.

    nope thats not whats wrong..I did that all before.. I put it upside down and shook it.. then I did the air thing then the vacuum..its not a stuck key.. and that also does not explain the sound... its doing it again today too the 9's and the should..I had to turn my sound volume off.. what it looks like is this.. I'll9 b9e typ9ng and 999999 wil9l show99 up lik9e this alot. and sometimes it will just go999999999 and longer so I hit the delete key until its stops.. drives me nuts! then the sound I have picked as my alert sound will beep.. ( not when the 9 thing happens but sometimes it may.. but not always..) then it will beep over and over about 10 times then stop... when im not even touching the computer.. Im not a newby to macs.. I bought my 1st one when powermacs first came out. a 7100 a 8100 and the 1st big blue and white g-3 and a laptop to.. one of the silver ones.. I still have all but the 7100 and 8100.. ( I am planning on getting rid of them though) ..Im the one everyone would call for help.. I dont know the new os x very well though... I am a sculptor and painter and I just don't have as much time to mess with the computer... but I know its not a stuck key..I searched the forum and saw one other person had this same problem but with a letter not number and he/ she did the same thing as me.. cleaning the keyboard out.. hers also stopped but Im betting its coming back as mine did... there has to be a reason its doing this..

  • How to create unique notification sounds for email on Droid Incredible 4G LTE

    I have three separate email accounts pushed to my Droid Incredible 4G LTE.  I can't for the life of me figure out how to set up unique notification sounds for each email account.  It was a snap to do on my old Blackberry.
    Same question for flagging individuals within my contact list.  (E.g., if my wife calls it makes one sound, if a client calls it makes a different sound.)
    Does anyone know how to do this, or, as they say, is there an app for that???
    Thanks in advance!

    I don't think you can on the email but got to each contact and edit them for different sounds, I'm not sure if it works on that new phone that way but as they don't have a dedicated room yet for it you had nowhere else to ask htc has good forums also

  • Is there a way to create a ringtone or new alert sound for SMS?

    I know i get tired of hearing my alert sound when I receive a text message. On top of that it seems as if everyone uses the same alert. Is there a way to create a new sound/ringtone for the SMS Alerts?

  • No alert sounds for applications running on Rosetta

    I've lost sound for applications running on Rosetta, i.e. Entourage. I even tried it with Safari in Rosetta, and there's no sound there either. All Intel native applications sound off fine.
    I'm running OS 10.4.10. Hope someone can help.

    Sure, To mute iCal on your iPod Touch do the following.
    Settings > Sounds > 'slide off' Calendar alerts.
    To keep alerts but for only specific events in in calendar on your iPod Touch do the following.
    Edit an event > Tap 'Alert' > Select None
    There is no way of getting the alert but muting the sound unless you wan to mute the sound on all alert which if you do i recommend the following, hope this helps.
