(SOLVED) No system sounds, and no sound for some applications

For some reason, system sounds stopped working (like when one takes a screenshot). aplay plays sounds (I mean, no errors whatsoever), but I can hear nothing. Listening from mplayer or vlc still works as normal.
When I 'aplay sound.wav', I see the leds going up and down on pavucontrol, but I hear nothing.
I run openbox and I don't start gnome-settings-daemon with it. It is "pure" openbox.
I checked pavucontrol settings, and also alsamixer but couldn't find anything that could solve the problem. I use pulse-audio, and have pulseaudio-alsa and alsa-utils installed.

Yeah, I can guarantee that I didn't touch alsamixer myself. I didn't even know the F6 option (although, today I realized it is there very well visible). Anyway, I guess an update might have changed something... I saw other people with similar problems in #archlinux this morning.

My key sounds and lock sounds no longer working, have tried everything!! Please help?

I have only had my iphone 4s for two months. The key sounds and lock sounds not working, happened after plugging it in for charging. It's all switched on in settings. Now it only vibrates when a message comes, or new mail etc, even though I have tones set it doesn't play them. I have done a full restore and hasn't worked either. I have also noticed the amount of power has disspeared (number) now too. What should I do? Thank you!

Thanks, power icon all sorted. But I still can't get the sounds back. I tried that reset at the beginning and it hasn't worked. Tried it again, still the same. What should I try next? Remember I've already tried a system restore. Nothing is working! Don't know what to do next?

Also go to settings, scroll to the bottom and ensure that "Keyboard Clicks" is set to on. Make sure that the "Ringer and Alerts" volume is not set at zero in this menu.

SLOW download on Airport Extreme wifi. WireThe download speeds are next to nothing above 25 feet away. When i stand next to the AEB it is fine. Anyone know why? Doubt ill get another AEB, very unreliable and has been for some time.

SLOW download on Airport Extreme wifi. Wired is great. The download speeds are next to nothing above 25 feet away. When i stand next to the AEB it is fine. Anyone know why? Doubt ill get another AEB, very unreliable and has been for some time.

No cordless phone (two iPhones and two iPads though). It does have one or two walls on line of sight. A few wireless door security zones. And a large china cabinet that my wife sure wouldn't let me move. Do any of these sound significant enough to drop the dowload from 30Gb to .1GB...while upload stays consistent. I have had better signal strength through two walls 100 feet out from my house, havent tried recently though. I am suddenly aware as my switch is acting up and i had to use wifi on my xbox.

Issue in Application Module and Enterprise Integration for SAP applications

Hi,
When I enabled the Application Module and Enterprise Integration for SAP applications Version 2.60 Patch 2 I am getting error in defect entity and Application Module. Does any one face this issue? Please let me know the solution.
QC details: QC 11.0 with patch 7
I followed the steps given in ALM addin page to install the adapters
Attached Screen shots of the Error

Hi
If you are wanting to know how to configure ESSO to be used to logon to SAP applications then there is a guide in the helpfile of the admin console. Simply do a search for SAP.
In short ESSO-LM comes with a SAP helper object which needs to be selected on install. To enable the ESSO SAP helper to interact with SAP, the SAP server and the SAPGUI client need to be configured. The details for this are in the helpfile. If you have multiple SAP systems launched from the SAPGUI then this is the best method because it means ESSO can distinguish between the different SAP systems through matching screens
If you have only one SAP system and you do not want to configure the SAP server then you could use send keys and not use the SAP helper object at all.
Hope this helps

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date, is there a way to get it all back?

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?

If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

Can we hav call transaction and session method for an application

can we hav call transaction and session method for an application ?if yes how?

Hi ,
You can. If Call Transaction fails, a batch input session can be created.
Check this example-
Call the transaction. Messages from Call Transaction are stored in the
internal table messtab
CALL TRANSACTION 'LT01' USING bdc_tab MODE 'N' UPDATE 'S'
      MESSAGES INTO messtab.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
Call transaction successfull, get the number of the Transfer Order that
was created
    LOOP AT messtab.
      IF messtab-dynumb = '0104' AND messtab-msgnr = '016'.
        w_transportorderno = messtab-msgv1.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
ELSE.
Call transaction failed, create a batch input session instead.
    PERFORM open_group.
    PERFORM bdc_insert USING 'LT01'.
    PERFORM close_group.
ENDIF.

I recently switched from years of PC to iMac ( OSX 10.7.5) and need to batch convert thousands of old WordPerfect files (many without an apparent file extension) into my new Microsoft 2011 Word. I am a computer nitwit and am hoping for some simple sol'n.

Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
Reindex messages.
If that doesn't work try deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mail Data/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3. Move the file to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the file from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return thefile to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

I bought and was charged for some music. It is not in check for available downloads or my purchased file. However it shows up in recent purchases. I just recovered from a problem and had to uninstall and reinstall. Where could this purchase be?

Password Problem for some applications:

Password Problem for some applications: I'm unable to download Adobe Reader, Microsoft updates. I have no password set to start the computer, applications such as Pages, Numbers, Keynote require no password for updates.
When I try to update Microsoft or Adobe Reader, first I try with no password, I get a hint and I know exactly what it means, but still unable to download. I don't know enough about passwords as to why some I can download and others I can't. So I don't know what I should read. I'm the only user of this computer and prefer not to have to deal with passwords. I'm using a MacBook Pro, Mac OS 10.9.3

Oh what a tangled web we weave. I read up on keychain and I don't understand what I'm reading. Right now I cannot download my email on my computer, I can access it through the cloud. I'm sure it will be the same for the other iCloud feathers. When I go to preferences and select iCloud when ever I try to sign in I get some dialog box it shows up "A keychain cannot be found to store 1076701306. It doesn't matter whether I reset it or cancel it out iCloud preferences remains grayed out.
In keychain access on the left side under keychains and Read's local item, systems, and systems roots.
When I select local items nothing shows up to the right under the name column even when down under all items is selected nothing shows up. And nothing shows up to the right when under categories I selected the other options password etc. On the other hand when I select under keychains systems, systems roots I do get items to show up on the right side under names under all items, passwords, etc. Where do I start?

(SOLVED) No system sounds, and no sound for some applications
