Safari and Sound Notifications

Hey all-
Ive come back to Mac and am struggling with a coupla things.
Safari's been challenging for a couple of good reasons.
I don't see well, so my 15" MBP is usually zoomed in.
When I bookmark a page, I can't see rgw dialog box. so hearing it yawn, or squeal or anything, that'd tell me that the bookmark dialog window loaded and I pressed the button and got the bookmark.
Is there a way to add sound to this "Sphere" that is Safari?
- A Grateful-
-John

Hi John,
Go to this link and click: VoiceOver in action.
http://www.apple.com/accessibility/voiceover/
VoiceOver offers a screen reading technology that may be helpful to you.
Open System Preferences / Universal Access. Click the "Seeing" tab. Turn on VoiceOver
You can control your Mac using only your keyboard.
You may need someone to assist you in setting this up.
And third party solutions for Accessibility for the Mac OS X here. http://www.apple.com/accessibility/resources/macosx.html
Unfortunately, Safari doesn't support "sound" alerts for Tabs but you can enable system alerts in System Preferences / Universal Access / Hearing. I use the "Flash Screen" 24/7/365.

Flickering finder and safari, and sound not working?

Firstly the screen froze whilst the radio was still playing. I could move the mouse cursor but not click on anything.
So, I did a safe reboot and the desktop reset.
Everything now responds to the mouse but Finder is flickering when scrolling and Safari is really flickering - in hte window and address bar.
The sound is also not working.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.

Hi Leroydouglas
Just been playing with the desktops and found a bunch of open Finder windows along with a window asking me if I wanted to erase the Trash files.
Seems like they were hiding behind an app window on one of the desktops (found it by accident as I was scrolling through the desktops using the swipe gesture on my Trackpad).
I've assigned the Finder to a desktop (desktop 1) and it seems to be OK at the moment (opens new windows and Trash icon works).
I've tried opening Finder by clicking on the Dock icon in all the desktops and it opens without any problems (you can see it scroll to Desktop 1). The folders on the desktop I couldn't before now open OK (again in Desktop 1).
Looks like the quick fix to the problem is to assign Finder to its own Desktop. I'll be keeping an eye on it :-)

Calender and sound notification

I have a bb 8320 I did the settings to have a sound when I make a notification in the calender.The icone "Bell" is there but no sound.Can somebody advise?

That Bell icon typically indicates that you have an alarm set on the BlackBerry. In order to make sure that the sounds are set properly for notifications you need to check the Profiles.
Go to Profiles > Advanced. Highlight the profile that shows "Active" next to it, then press the menu key and select Edit. Scroll to the event that shows Calendar, then press the trackball. Make sure the Out of Holster parameter is set to Tone, and that you have the appropriate Ring Tone selected. Also, make sure the volume is not set to Mute.

How do i turn off sound and text notifications?

I find both the text and sound notifications very annoying. I do not play games or do anything other than work on this computer. When I unchecked the "show a notification" and "play a sound" boxes, the notifications and sounds do not turn off. I also prepared a 5 second sound file of silence and checked the "Play a Sound" and "use the following sound" boxes with the name of the silence in the required field. Nothing has worked. I don't like being disturbed when I work. I have done the checking and unchecking before restarting and also starting the computer up after a complete shut down.

If you unchecked the option in Thunderbird then I doubt that is where the notification is coming from. MACs are notorious for supplying an additional notification. I would check your operating system for the source of the notification.

Sound disappeared in Safari and BBC Radio Widget

Two days ago, without warning, the sound disappeared from both Safari and my BBC Radio Widget. All other sound on the computer is fine and if I play an MP3 through Safari it will play but otherwise there is silence. (Problem was discovered by our 5 year-old who was disappointed that there was no sound coming from the CBeebies websites!).
Have checked all other sound options and everything is in order.
Went to local Mac re-seller and they shrugged their shoulders and said try here.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.

You're welcome.
If there is a preference file associate with the widget, move it to the trash before you reinstall a new copy. The preference file will be name widget-com.(name assigned to widget).plist. You can try a search in spotlight on look in your User Library>Preferences folder.
If you are complete, please mark this post "solved". Helpful for others looking for a solved solution to a similar question, also helpful for me. Aloha from Big Island.

Sound skips in Safari and Chrome

I have a problem with sound skipping in Safari and Google Chrome. Whenever I am playing music or watching a movie in these browsers the sound is fine, but if I open another application, select another application, or if the computer goes to screensaver the sound skips. This has been happening for quite awhile now and it is very frustrating. Any suggestions? Thanks

Safari, MobileMe and Sound

Well here goes people...
First of all, lets talk to the good of the new child on the block - when its working, its nice to have. No put downs here. I like it alot!
Common Fixes that I have found -
1. Netflix.com can be fixed of its DRM woes by uninstalling Silverlight (MS swill that has to be used) and reinstall it - works like a charm
2. Get Java Update - good to fix a number of issues, Including Adobe CS4 issues
3. XQuartz has an update to 2.6.3
4. DropDMG has an update - get it
5. TinkerTools System Release 2 has an update that is necessary to operate
6. For those that use SpamSieve - you need to reinstall the plugin in Mail and that will return
7. LogMeIn has an update in order to make Ignition work properly. Get it if you are using the pair for remote service.
I think that covers the upgrades of external programs that will cause issues if they are not tended to in the immediate
Now for the reason I am burning the midnite oil to pound the keys and see if there are any others out here that are experiencing issues with a similar signature. First a primer on what I have
     MBP 2010 Core i7 2.66GHz, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, 27" LED Cinema Display, 2GB TimeCapsule...
1. Upon reset - Sound is lost
     If restarted with out the Display plugged in - Sound returns
     If restarted again - Display plugged in - Sound goes away
     If restarted again - sans Display - Sound returns
2. Safari and MobileMe
     During this set of restarts described above - Safari stops responding all together and MobileMe will no longer connects to server.
     I have tried for both of these issues
     a) Reset of Permissions (per suggestion here)
     b) Multiple Restarts (thus the long list of what happens; per suggestion here)
     c) Clearing Caches (Both startup and system; per suggestion here)
     d) Re-optimizing of system - something I tried.
     e) Restarting Multiple times (per suggestion here)
     f) PRAMing system
The only remedey for this so far is to break down and just allow Lion to reinstall (Done this twice now). Sounds medeval, yes - but effective. I, at least, have returned to a working system, until of course the next restart of the system. After all that is what I am using to type this on.
So with out further explaination - What can anyone make of this? Little Help here!?!? Maybe please...

PS - As I learn more - I will post findings.

And now for the final act...
THE SOLUTION...
Yes folks, after working with the crack team from Apple Care (James and Company) a solution to this issue was discovered.
For all the about issues, it comes to this.
Reboot System
Hold Command+R (Recovery Mode)
In Recover Mode, select Disk Utility (This insures that Macintosh HD is not mounted)
Run
Disk Repair (x2)
Disk Permission Repair (x2)
Restart
If still having issues
Command+R
Install in Place (Reinstall - This takes and replaces any files that may have been overwritten and rewrites them)
After installation, check if system is okay, If not
SMC (Shift+Option+Command+Power)
HW Reset (Command+Option+Power)
PRAM (Option+Command+P+R)
If still not functioning... Here is the FINAL Solution
Since this formula is to take out the grossest of errors on the OS side, Take a moment to create an alternate user with Admin permissions
Log in to this account
If everything is now functioning, the corruption is a hangover from SL and you will need to move all of your data (only the data) to the new account.
Beware of MobileMe.
Before starting the transistion to this account, turn MobileMe off - No Syncing, No iDisk, No Nothing! This will prevent MobileMe from rewriting the corrupt information into your new account.
Collect all of your data, serial numbers for 3rd party Apps, eMail and other items. This will take some time, but it is worth the ride.
Once this is all complete, your system will be rock solid stable.

I have a nearly identical problem with my Ipad 3. Mine is the left channel. I've yet to find help, but have found a number of other posts on this and other forums discussing the issue. People have tried restore, reset etc. Also, cleaning the ports with compressed air or cotton swabs. It appears to be a software issue, but no one is sure.
Along with the original poster, I'd appreciate any help.
As far as the 'level 6' poster, if you're going to be rude, please don't bother. Hope it was just a bad day.

Notification settings on iPad 3 are set properly but my new IPad does not get alert badges or rounds on apps with all notifications selected and in notifications center. Why? Others are reporting same problem.

Do you have system sounds muted? Check the button above your volume control on the right hand side of the iPad. If, when you change the button you see mute on your screen, you'll restore system sounds. If you see lock orientation, you can restore system sounds by double tapping your home button to bring up the task bar (most recently used apps). With your finger swipe those apps all the way to the right to reveal a mute icon on the left. Touch that icon and you'll restore system sounds.
Let us know if that was the issue.

How can I get my sound notifications to work? They used to but have stopped. I get the banner alerts. I have checked in Settings - Sound and the volume is at max. Help please.

For some reason the sound notifications on my iPad mini have stopped. I still get banner alerts but that is it. I have checked Settings - Sounds and the ringer and alerts setting is at max. I have updated the IOS system. Not sure what else to do.

Unlock can be done only by original Carrier. You should get

When I turn on firefox the sound of an alarm begins and keeps going. I did not download or add or open anything. A sound like the old pacman game initiates the never ending alarm. It does not occur with safari and ends if I close firefox.

dont have google open in a tab!!!!!!!!
(if you are one who opens FF and it opens google then immediately open another tab to go to a site then just visit the site from the page that opened without opening a new tab)
OR
if you have cool preview then disable that
(the sound is for the celebration of 30 years of pacman and you can play the game on google's homepage)

IOS 6 notification and sound sync

I am having an issue where the banner notification and sound are not in sync. So the banner will flash on the top of the screen and then I will hear the notification tone. This can be very annoying when the phone is in my pocket - I will look t it when I hear the notification tone but will have missed the banner notification so often times don't know what the notification was for. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I am running iOS 6 on my 4s. Thanks.

Re: IOS 6 Notification sound not working!! Sep 28, 2012 11:25 AM (in response to keith-gauci)
I've had exactly the same problem! Also the silent button on the side isnt working either. Calls seem to be ok, but emails sms facebook, none of those sounds work. Have you found a solution?
No I haven't. The difference is that my silent button is working and even sound when receving and email or an sms's. My issue is the sound of the notification of the applications. For example facebook, F1Live24 ..

E-mail and Text Mesage Sounds (Notifications)

E-mail and Text Mesage Sounds (Notifications) are too low and since they all sound the same I never know if I have a new E-mail or a New Text Message. How can I set up different sounds for E-mails and Text Messages?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

if you go to pimpmypre.com, you can change the ringtone for your text/email. unfortunately, you cannot change them individually for text and email, but it expands your options from the pre default ringtone.
it's a small step, but not the solution.

Upgraded to OS X Yosemite and Mail notification sound no longer works

Hi, I upgraded to OS X Yosemite yesterday and when my Mail notifications come through I only get the banner no sound. I have turned on the sound preference in my the Mail preferences and the Notification Centre preferences. Is there any other way to get the sound working for these notifications. All my other notifications that come through have the sound as well.
Thanks. JV.
