Why am I not getting any alert sounds in Lion?

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion 10.7.3 and find that I am not getting any alert sounds. Mail sounds work, voice notification [as in giving me the time on the hour and other spoken alerts] works, but simple things like trash emptying, taking items out of the dock or Finder side bar don't work at all.
I gone to System Prefs many times to try and tweak some things. Discovered that I had a lot of old Xounds sounds, so I deleted those. I'm at a real loss here folks, so if someone can point me in the right direction, I shall be forever thankful!

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Why do I not get any alerts on my phone but I get them on my iPad?

I recently got an iPad today and was syncing all my apps onto my iPad that I have on my iPhone 4s. But now I don't get any notifications or alerts on my phone, they all go straight to my iPad. How do I get the alerts back onto my phone.

I figured it out lol. the "headphones" was the giveaway. the headphones plug was full of lint. so I cleaned it up and it seems to be working fine. Thanks for the replys!

In Dreamweaver CC why can i not get any workspace options? Where do I find 'Draw AP div'?

In Dreamweaver CC why can i not get any workspace options? Where do I find 'Draw AP div' or any of my 'designer' tools?

Insertion of APDivs/Layers are deprecated in CC. Historically, APDivs caused many, many problems for people who didn't understand they were not intended to be used as a primary layout tool. Look at FluidGrid Layouts.

I am not getting any notification sounds for facebook version 47423

I am not getting any notification sounds for facebook version 47423. Also, how do you change your email address in your profile here in the forum? Thanking you in advance.

Try going to setting and go down to facebook. See if you can change anything there. If you can't then go to Sounds(in settings) and try looking for facebook there. i havn't had this problem but that is about the right steps to solving it

Not getting any notification sounds through my wired headset...WHY??

Hi, I have a small problem with my Z10, No notification sounds come through at all when I have my wired headset is plugged in.
The phone rings as normal during incoming calls/ txts and all I get is muted sound when listening to music at the time of the call.
I've the very latest 10.3 update but it's still not working. I want to be able to hear any notifications that arrive to my phone when my wired headset is plugged in. It must be an easy fix??

It says "Stop Email Updates" (indicating I should be getting them). Also, they do not show up in an spam folder. My almost worthless ISP always tells me they need headers from rejection notices that senders get when they try to send me something. But how am I supposed to get those? No one I ever have this problem with ever says they get a rejection notice.

Why am I not getting any input signal into logic X or GarageBand from my audio interface?

Hello all,
I'm completely new to all this so I will try my best here to give all the details needed.
So, I am using a Mac mini (2013 model: i7 overclocked at 2.6, 16 gbram) and a focusrite saffire pro 24DSP. Overall both are in perfect working order.
My problem, however, is that I am seemingly unable to get any form of signal from my saffire into either Logic X or GarageBand. I am trying to record guitar lined in and I have set all the settings in logic to what I think is right (software monitoring checked, output channels selected, saffire selected for both input and output) and I have set up my saffire mix control - I spent days reading the manual and watching online tutorials.
The saffire mix control is set up thus:
Input 1 - instrument
Daw 1+2 = GarageBand
Daw 3+4 = Logic X
Sample rate 41Khz
Master Output = stereo monitor mix (line outs 1 &2 to my monitor speakers)
Output 3+4 headphones
Is there anything missing here?
As far as this all goes, when I plug in my guitar I can get a very clear "raw" signal from the saffire mix control, but when I then go to set up a track in either DAW and assign the necessary line ins and outs, no matter what I do I cannot get an input signal, not even a partial one (I have the monitoring and record armed options checked btw). I am close to giving tearing my hair out.
I'm sure I am just missing something out?
Thanks in advance :-)

I've plugged into the interface a mic and an electric guitar.
I'm not sure what I did but the guitar is coming through (though it shows no signal on the interface). Mic input level on line, mic registers a tiny bit of sound when I hit the mic (on only one channel) but doesn't register any vocals when mic input is turned up to the max.
Odd thing: stereo/mono button reversed that is when the button is pushed in it equals stereo on the head phones when it says it should be mono and when the button is left unpushed it equals mono when it says it should be stereo.
Monitor is on and volume is at max.
GB system preferences don't list Input 1 or/and 2. Where do I find them?
I've tried everything I can think of. It feels as if I just need to find the right switch but I don't know where to look...

Why can't I get any audio sound on my Hi8 video capture in iMovie?

Hi
I have just captured some video clips from my Hi8 Camcorder and exported it to iMovie on my Apple Mac. Unfortunately there is no audio sound on the captured video. Can any one help? I am using Roxio Video Capture USB to capture the video from my camcorder.
Nazimoja

>I am using Roxio Video Capture USB
That's the problem. The Roxio device captures in a highly compressed, multiplexed (muxed) format that isn't intended for editing. Muxed files won't playback audio without the proper software installed on your system. You could try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the captured files to an editable format, but that means you'll be taking a double hit on quality.
The proper way to capture analog footage for editing is to use a qualified "DV Device" (DV camcorder, converter or VTR) to convert the analog signal into a Firewire signal and use iMovie, FCE or FCP to capture and edit. Or, in your case, you could use a Digital8 camcorder for playback directly via Firewire.
FWIW, this is the Final Cut Studio forum. The iMovie forum is located here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie?view=discussions

Why do I not get any answers?

Hi all,
Please advice me how should I ask questions in order to get answers fast? I do give points to everybody...
Thanks,
Charles.

Hello Charles
Although they can be found at the beginning of every ABAP forum apparently very few people take care of the advice given by Marilyn Pratt, Craig Cmehil and Gali Kling Schneider:
Welcome and Rules of Engagement
/thread/235444 [original link is broken]
my first thought was: A question concerning the right use of the salesorder BAPIs. Obviously, the header is missing (at least for me) an important detail: the topic is about <b>IDocs</b>.
Furthermore, do we know on which <u>SAP release</u> (4.6c or ECC 6.0 ???) are you working? I am not sure if we can conclude this from the IDoc type ORDCHG.
Apparently, you are working on a standard SAP R/3 system (but: does it exclude other system types???).
I believe the more careful you name your subject and the more specific you are about the (system) context of the question the more likely you will attract those of us who are willing and capable to answer your questions.

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
If there are specific tasks you need help with:

Why i am not getting an error???

Dear sirs...
i created an application to upload files to the database using JDeveloper 10.1.2.1.0 and UIX. The field used to store the files is an intermedia field.
Whenever i upload the file greater than 2M i get an error message. i modified the application such that it uploads 5M. now for attachments greater than 5M i get no error messages at all. the uploaded file is truncated to 5M and i do not get any error message.
my question is:
why i am not getting any error message??? what are the possible causes of this??? Does any one face such an error???
thanks for any help in advance
best regrads

I haven't heard of such a limitation. I would recommend creating a reproducible testcase and opening a TAR on Metalink so our support engineers can help debug the issue, report a bug if you are encountering one, and help you determine a possible workaround. Thanks.

Why didn't I get any discs with my computer?

I got a new Macbook Pro and I didn't recieve any discs and someone I know has an older Macbook Pro and got discs with theirs so I was wondering what happened to those discs and why I didn't get any.

New Macs have Lion pre-installed and come with no discs. Reinstalling uses the Internet Recovery:
OS X Lion- About Lion Recovery
You restore Lion or perform repairs and reinstalls from the Recovery HD:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

Why do i keep getting an Alert message saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded "?

Why do i keep getting an Alert message saying "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded "?
This happens a lot regardless of the web page. I continually have to restart FF and it persists still

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
