Strange alert every time I get a message

Every time I get a message, I hear a strange noise. It doesn't matter if my skype window is active or not, it will make the sound (usually I get a different sound only when skype ISN'T active)This tells me that it's obviously linked to skype somehow, since it's only when I get a message... but I can't find why it's doing it. It's not any of the sounds I have mapped in my skype sound settings either. I even clicked "reset to default" on those and I've restarted skype. The sound is very annoying and I'd like to just remove it but I don't know how.

Can someone close this, since I found the problem. I don't see any options for that on my end. I had linked my skype and hotmail accounts, so my hotmail tab (which was always open) was giving me an alert as well.

Debit card? Are you sure?
USA iTunes Store does not appear to accept debit cards - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html "The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances."

My recommendation is to download Apple’s Safari version 5.1.7 for Windows to access iCloud.com. It consistently works for me!!!! To make things easier with Safari, I made iCloud.com its Homepage. I’m using it to access iCloud.com from all of my PCs.
On my Windows 7 systems it appears that some add-ons are causing problems when you try to access iCloud.com with the 32-bit version of IE9, but the 64-bit version seems to work fine, more than likely because there are few add-ons that are 64-bit and the 64-bit version of IE9 can't be the default browser in Windows 7.

How do I get my emails to flash up with an alert every time I get a new email! Please help! Thanku

Hey guys! Just wondering could use help me. I need to be able to excess my emails quicker as I rely on them for work. Can I adjust a setting so that emails appear like text messages? Is that possible?

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data > Push.
Settings > Notifications > Mail > Gmail > Turn all settings On and set an alert sound
The first one will push mail from the sever as you receive them. The second one will alert you like a text message.
Note: I used Gmail as an example. Set this for whatever account you need it for.
Hope that helps

I installed windows 7 recently and also Adobre reader XI, and now I cannot open any of my previously created pdfs. Every time I get the message: Error opening the file. Access denied. What is going on?

Recently I had to install windows 7 in my notebook because XP doesn't have more support. Before installing I backed up all my files to my external HD. Now that I instaleed windows 7 and also installed Acrobat Reader XI, I just cannot open any of my pdf files created prior to installing windows 7.
Looking for help online, I found the solution of security and giving me access as an administrator to all my files, but it still keeps the same...
Can some one please help me out?? I really need to work on many of this files ASAP.
Thank you all in advance for you attention,
Best,
Henrique

New instant message has old message that reappears every time I select new message. Cannot get rid of it.

Iphone 4 new instant message screen has old message that reappears every time I select new message. Cannot get rid of it. Any known solution?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

Hi ThatBoyBraulio,
If you are receiving messages that you send from your iPhone and have a non-standard configuration (such as a shared account), you may want to see how you have Messages configured for starting and receiving conversations, as outlined in the following article:

Hope that the following can help some of you having the same issue :
When I run the Network Diagnostics in iTunes. And I got the following error :
"Secure link to iTunes Store failed".
So I followed this tread and this is what I tried so far :
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3911927?start=0&tstart=0
ipconfig /flushdns         => same issue
netsh winsock reset       => same issue
Followed the kb TS4123 => no other Winsock Providers that Bonjour
SFC /SCANNOW    => same issue
ipconfig /release    => same issue
ipconfig /renew         => same issue
netsh winsock reset catalog   => same issue
After doing all this tests when I run the Network Diagnostics I still get the same error :
"Secure link to iTunes Store failed".
The strange thing is that I tried to start again the ITunes match and it's seems to work so far. 41 items uploaded and no crash so far (before it was always crashing before I could reach 10 upload).

How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences. It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Thanks!! Jen

How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences (the password from Account Info). Once you enter the password, it keeps it permanently. i do not want that. It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Also, The other pressing issue i have is, I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account. Instead of creating different user accounts for the MacBook, it's just easier this way. Or is it? If this is a permanent thing, then I may switch back to Lion. I guess I shoud've waited until the kinks were out before installing (**** Mac-head!)
Thank you all kindly for any suggestions & your time
Regards,
JC

I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account.
That is simply not possible with Mail, and never has been. Anyone who uses your account can see all messages stored in Mail. The only true solution is to not let other people use your account. Let other people use the guest account, or if you share the machine with someone else, set up a separate user account for that person. This will also solve the problem of remembering the password. It will become a non-issue for Mail to remember your password if nobody else has access to your account.

You may benefit from disabling Show on Lock Screen for Messages and Mail in Settings -> Notification Center -> Mail/Messages.

Sorry, yes iTunes on your computer.
When I updated my iPad 3 and iPod Touch 4th generation to iOS 6 a few months back, I was able to update the iPad effortlessly over WiFi. but I kept getting error messages when trying to update the iPod over WiFi, so I used iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update
If you are using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar at the top - so the sidebar is visible.

Why is the computer keeps stopping every time i get an e-mail then resumes

every time I get an e-mail the computer freezes then pings telling me I have an e-mail then continues on with what ever I am doing. I can not find out how to disconnect the e-mail alerts.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")
