"Speak an announcement" an option for Messages in Mavericks?

Hello,
I recently upgraded to Maverics, which is great except for the fact that my Messages app no monger speacks to me when a message is recieved. I often have much background noise and can often miss even the loudest notification sound, that's why I liked the Speak an announcement option that used to be available. Is it still around in Mavericks and I'm just missing it somewhere?
thanks.

HI,
Messages > Preferences > General Section
Enable the Sound in the top section for Message Received (the only changeable sound Left)
At the bottom is the only place to enable Apple Script
Chose the Speak one.
I am presuming this speaks the Message and may not be what you want.
All the others (alerts) from Mountain Lion and Messages 7 and earlier are gone.
Well actually the sounds are there and play (you have no choice in this) but all the option about changing them, dock icon bouncing and the Speakable bits that did the announcing thing for certain actions cannot be accessed.

Options for message type SLFN

We are trying to extend the usage of Solman Service Desk for other IT related issues also
for this the real challange I feel is the number of options available in the drop down while raising the ticket to choose from
1. System/IBase
2.Component
of their choice and if it is possible to add more selectables options for System base and component which are helpful in addressing other day to day IT issues.

Hello,
About the Ibase, you may create either new ibase components in IB52, or you can create a new custom product and assign systems to the custom products in SMSY, then the Ibase of the new systems will be created automatically.
About the new software components, I have seen that issue adressed here in this forum a few days ago. I suggest that you do some searches, I am sorry but I don't know right now what's the table that you have to modify in order to have more software components.
Anyway, if you create the messages through CRMD_ORDER, you need not assign a software component to the message. This may be feasible for scenarios where you route the messages to the teams based on other fields (perhaps the 'subject' field would work)
Best regards,

Different options for message mapping in BPM

Hey guys
i m in the learning phase of BPM and am kinda confused with the different ways we can do message mapping in a BPM scenario.
first of all we can do message mapping before BPM,we can also do after BPM and lastly we can do inside BPM(ofcurse this is not recommended as its too resource consuming)
i have bene through starters blog on BPM by Krishna moorthy and Arpit seth,and now am wondering how to use the mapping in diff. ways
suppose i m doing a simple File to File with BPM(just for practise purpose)
now here is what i have designed in IR
DT_sender_File                                       DT_receiver_File
MT_sender_File                                       MT_receiver_File
MI_Outbound_sender(async,outbound),     MI_Inbound_receiver(async,inbound)
AI_sender(abstract,async)                        AI_receiver(abstract,async)
MM_File_File(using MT_sender_File and MT_receiver_File)
now i want to clear some doubts about interface mapping.my understanding is
if i do interface mapping between MI_Outbound_sender and AI_receiver,this will be interface mapping before BPM.
if i do interface mapping between AI_sender and MI_Inbound_receiver,this will be interafce mapping after BPM
and if i do interface mapping between AI_sender and AI_receiver then it will be mapping inside BPM.
is my understanding correct?if yes,then does that means we can we any of the above mapping in our scenario.(if we dont consider the performance issue as of now)
thanx
saif

Hi Saif,
<i>
is my understanding correct?</i>
Yes, thts correct
<i>if yes,then does that means we can we any of the above mapping in our scenario</i>
Of course, u can use any of them (overlooking the performance issue)

Using Boxes or Compact display option in Messages

Is there a way to return to the Boxes display option in Messages under Mavericks? I was never a fan of the Balloons, which appears to be the only display option now.

HI,
Open a Finder window.
Go to the View Menu and chose View Options
In here chose to display the Modified column.
Now use the Go Menu and hold down the ALT key and select the Library that appears.
Now navigate to the Preferences folder
Find the com.apple.ichat.plist item and highlight it.
In a view that display the columns such as Cover Flow check the date (and possibly time) that the files was last Modified.
Now open Messages.
If the setting in Mesaages > Preferences > Viewing have Changed again remake them to what you want.
Does the Modified column show the current time that you do this ?
If it does not then you may not own the file or have Permission to write to it.
with the file still highlighted use the CMD and i keys together (Get Info)
In the panel that opens scroll to the bottom.
Your shortname should be lists with Read and Write permissions.
Also if you highlight your name and then use the cogwheel type icon it should have, in greyed out text as if already done, "Make yourShortname (me) the Owner"
If you have Read and Write Permissions and the "Make" item is greyed out then you Own the file and have the correct permissions.

Do you have an option for block all incoming message and request EXCEPTED messages from my contacts?

Please help!!To whom it may concernDear Madam/Sir who works for Skype & Microsoft Dear all who can really help, Do you have an option for block all incoming message and request EXCEPTED messages from my contacts? or Do you have any solution to solve my problem from begin to now in present time? Even though, I set the Privacy settings: - Allow calls from... "people in my Contact list only"- Automatically received video and share screens with "people in my Contact list only"- Allow IMs from "people in my Contact list only" I still received unknow users sent me messages in every day, contact requests etc. And they're all clearly spammings and identity thefts. I only wanna contact with my family and my freinds here with Skype via my Windows device and my mobile phone (w/Android OS). And this is the only way to contact with them, because they could use Skype only in overseas. BUT I don't need new friend from other unknow Skype member. I keep blocked all unknow spammers in every day. However in this morning, I feel so scared with Skype on my mobile, I looked at my mobile Skype, I saw it automatically showed me the list of all blocked members. BUT they were all unblocked (contact unblocked) by my mobile (Android version) Skype itself automatically, and listed them one by one on the screen, and about 30 seconds later, they all were disappeared suddenly. I don't know what do to now, is it indicating my account was hacked?And how could I found out all those members again and block them again and delete all of them for ever? I appreciate if you would improve the privacy protection. Thank you very very very much.

Hrm... that may be true and this may be a function of the phone email client that Apple just doesn't do.
No, I can easily MANUALLY delete the messages. I would prefer if I didn't have to do it twice, tho. Once on the mail server and once on the phone.
What I think the phone needs to do is, when it checks the POP, anything NOT there should be removed locally. I think you are correct on POP; the phone will poll the mx (mail exchanger) and the mx will pass off the messages to the phone. The phone then keeps ALL of that unitl you manually delete it.
If, say, I remove a message from the mx, I would like the phone, when next polls, to see that that particular message isn't on the server anymore and remove it locally.
Perhaps it's just me but if I delete the message on the mx itself, via my ISP's webmail interface, I really don't want to have to remove it again from my phone.
thxs!
cheers

When I try to open a project, the only option for a new track is for external MIDI device; when I try to open an audio or software instrument track, I get an error message saying that "the specified number of tracks could not be created. Reduce the number of tracks to create and try again." I didn't specify ANY number of tracks. Thanks for help!

Ah.. then I suspect you just need to go to Logic's prefs/Audio and check CoreAudio...
It has been unchecked somehow...
Also.. as an aside.. Be careful not to create such large subject names in future when posting here.. They can cause issues with replying to posts in such threads.. due to a bug in the forum software.. so please keep them short and to the point...

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro. Results were reproduced. The verdict is:
- complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
- different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
- using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
- adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
- just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality. It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet. But unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

Read the documentation at the links. They won't hurt your data.
Basically smc reset is shutdown, pull your plug for 15 seconds, plug it back in, wait 5 seconds, and reboot. Harmless to you. Resets the smc.
Pram reset is similar but you need to push commnd-option-P-R after the boot chime. Read what does.
