When on a call, why is there no sound alert for any incoming mail/message?

When on a call, if I receive a message or an email there is no sound alert at all so I do not know I received a mail or a message unless I take the phone away from my ear and visually check it. Please help.

  • Why is there no sound coming from my mac air book ?

    why is there no sound coming from my mac aribook?

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. If you've installed a software equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and restart.
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
    7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
    14. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • I deleted the playlists on my iPhone and when I now try to synchronize with my iTunes account to put the music back, nothing happens and I do not get the music back on my iPhone. Anyone who knows why that could be? Grateful for any suggestions!

    I deleted the playlists on my iPhone and when I now try to synchronize with my iTunes account to put the music back, nothing happens and I do not get the music back on my iPhone. Anyone who knows why that could be? Grateful for any suggestions!

    I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question.  Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing.  I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
    My playlists "ARE"  in my iphone 4s.  They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer. 
    When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes.  I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes:  Music, Movies, TV shows, books.  That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS"  but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone.  Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
    Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this.  I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

  • TS1646 When I click "view my account" there is no option for "none."

    When I click "view my account" there is no option for "none." Can anyone help?

    OK - skip that link....I just went through it again, and since you already have an Apple ID, it directs you to another article, which then directs you to the original one you were looking at.....so THAT's not going to work!
    So, I'd say, at this point, you need to contact iTunes support to see if they can tell you why you are not seeing the "None" option...
    Here's that link:

  • Trying to update my LG G2, when I go to Settings, About, there is no option for Software Update..

    I am trying to update my LG G2, when I go to Settings >> About >> there is no option for "Software Update" .. what else can I do?

    4.4.2 was the last update.  Now, in the same section look at Build Number.  Mine says VS98026A.  If yours ends with 26A, you are current.  The last update was for HD Voice called Advanced Calling 1.0.  Our next over the air or OTA update will be sometime next year, probably near March.  The G2 is already getting 5.0 Lollipop in Poland and is rolling this way.  We will get it, but even though Google has released the source code and update to manufacturers, Verizon still has to test, add to it and approve it, then roll it out over the course of a few weeks or months. 

  • Why is there a service fee for repairs n

    This will be my 3rd RMA in my short period of owning a Zen Micro. When I was re emailed by creative, they said I needed to pay $25 for a service fee.
    Why is there a service fee for repairs now for common problems such as the infamous earphone jack?

    The tariff guide still says
    Installation, Activation & Equipment Charges Activation Fee
    All new BT TV customers will be charged a £35 activation fee.
    Any existing BT TV customers taking a new set top box will also be charged a £35 activation fee.
    Optional Engineer Install (Box service only) The charge for the engineer install option is £35. Optional Broadband Extenders (Box service only)
    The charge for one set of optional Broadband Extenders is £35
    So if you can't get the precise order you want online why not phone the BT customer options team and place your order that way.

    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • Aperture 3 update.  Why is there still no eraser for the retouch tool?

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but: Why is there still no eraser for the retouch tool?
    I realize you can delete retouch strokes, but they are in linear order so you often have to delete useful ones to go far enough back to get the one that you've decided no longer works.
    I would rather have the ability to erase strokes back to the original image, much like the way the History Brush works in Photoshop, and indeed the eraser tool works in many other Aperture bricks.
    Example, I retouch an eye, and then move on to retouch an ear.  Then I decide I don't like the eye brush strokes.  In order to remove one stroke on the eye retouch, I have to delete all the successful brush strokes I've made to the ear (i.e. those that came after the stroke I wish to remove from the eye).  This is needlessly complicated and inefficient.
    Many of other bricks in Aperture have an eraser tool to selectively remove brushstrokes.  Why not the retouch tool?
    Also, many other bricks in Aperture allow for stacking or layering bricks of the same adjustment with different brush choices.  Why not the retouch tool?
    Am I missing something?

    We are just users here.  Feature Enhancement requests need to be made via Apple's official approved channel.  You can get there from within Aperture by clicking "Aperture➞Provide Aperture Feedback".
    Retouching (and cloning) involves not just applying a transformation to the selected pixels, but basing that transformation on _other, non-contiguous_ pixels sampled from the image.  This leads me to think that there may be intractable technical problems setting up the kind of workflow you propose.

    D.p.middleton the Adobe Application Manager has been available for quite some time.  It not only allows Creative Cloud users to install their applications but also downloads and applies applicable updates.  In addition it is also responsible for the licensing and managing your agreement to the terms and conditions of the EULA.
    2. this could be due to you selecting a trial subscription to the Creative Cloud?  If you go to one of the Adobe Creative products and select Help>Updates it will launch the update portion of the Adobe Application Manager which I believe is the portion you are looking for?
    #3 I believe this was already mostly covered in the answer to #2.
    #4 the Adobe Application Manager also receives periodic updates which affects both perpetual and Creative Cloud subscription users.
    I hope this provides you many of the answers you are looking for?  If not please feel free to respond back with any additional inquiries which you have.  Also if you are experiencing any difficulties with the update process please post this as well.  It may not be necessary to have a full understanding of the inner workings of the Adobe Application Manager to help you resolve your difficulties.

  • Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in Home Directory? My Mail alerts, etc

    Why are there no sounds located in the Library/Sounds folder in my Home Directory? Since upgrading to Mountain Lion most of my sounds are not working, in my Mail alerts, etc.

    Did you put any sound files there? Because if you didn't, that will explain why it's empty.
    The ~/Library/Sounds folder is where any sound files that you add go, and they are only available to you as the "logged in" user (if you have other users with their own accounts, they each have their own ~/Library/Sounds folder). Apple doesn't put anything there.
    The sounds that come with Mac OS X will either be in the /Library/Sounds folder (which is the shared location for all users) or the /System/Library/Sounds folder (don't mess around with anything in the /System folder!).
    But I doubt your problem has anything to do with the sound files. Try deleting your sound preferences file, or even just clicking around in the Sound system preferences until they start working again (seriously - I had one Mac that had some audio problems after upgrading, and just turning things off and on a few times eventually worked. It seemed somehow tied to Dictation, so try twiddling those settings too).
