Why do  I continually  lose the Swoosh sound  for out going Emails?

Just in the past 3 mos. or so I lost the swoosh sound that indicates that the email from my box has gone out. I need to shut down and restart before it works again. Contacted Apple care twice and after their "fixes" today it's still not working. I just wann know that the mail has gone out!

Click the apple button on the top left, click software update
Click the apple button on the top left, click force quit, force quit mail, close out force quit window
Click the apple button, select shut down, wait 1 minute after shut down, restart the computer
-->if mail outbound is still not making a sound, you may need to reset all settings to default using the com.apple.mail.plist removal (which in this case would POSSIBLY delete everything inside of your email, so if you need anything backed up first, this would be a good time to do it (IMAP typically has a running backup at all times since you are using the server for everything Unlike POP based email). DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS your mail is backed up, and or you know you won't lose anything super important in your mail application.
When you are ready to take the next step if the BOLDED ABOVE doesn't apply/didn't work here is the steps to trying the com.apple.mail.plist reset for LION: (Force Quit Mail, make sure it's not running) select Finder from the dock > Select Go > Hold down the Option Key On the Keyboard > Select Library > Select Preferences from the list > Select com.apple.mail.plis > hit the delete key > empty the trash > restart the computer. You shouldn't lose your mail accounts nor anything, BUT just in case I always ask people to back up first. Again this task is long, but should resolve the email sound issue.

  • Why did the swoosh sound turn off in Mail?

    Why did the swoosh sound turn off when I send and e-mail message in Mail?
    Thank you.

    First is your volume turned up and not muted?
    Also check system preferences/sound/sound effects, make sure play sound effects thru internal speakers is checked, make sure alert volume is turned up (not all the way down), Play user sound effects id checked.

    Trax and kirt are correct. I'm pretty good with technology, being an engineer and all, and I can tell you for a fact that this 'swoosh' sound (triggered by a successfully sent SMS) can NOT be disabled from ANY menu in iOS 5. The ONLY way to disable it is to flip the silent switch on the left hand side of the phone. This is extremely annoying for some people (like trax, kirt, and myself). For what we pay for Apple products and, in particular, this phone, we simply didn't expect to have to deal with such annoyances. That's why we're Mac users. Please fix this bug.
    I feel like I shouldn't have to say this but it bears repeating: turning off message sounds from the 'sounds' menu does not fix his problem. It still emits the swoosh noise. Whoever suggested this clearly didn't try it because it obviously doesn't work. Who posts a solution to a problem without knowing for a fact that their solution is correct? I find that response condescending because he writer is assuming we're not smart enough to have tried it. In reality, it's vice versa.

  • My ipad doesn't seem to make a sound when it is closed or in sleep mode to let me know there is an imessage until you see it on the screen that someone has imessaged.  When you're taking it makes the swoosh sound, just not when it's in sleep mode.  Help

    Am having some problems with the sounds on my ipad, specifically my imessage notification sound when your ipad is in sleep mode and someone is messaging you.  It seems to work with the swoosh sounds when you are actively messaging back and forth, but as soon as I close my ipad up and is locked or in sleep mode, I don't know anyone is messaging me until I look at my ipad.  I've tried a few things.. But nothing has worked so far....Please help!

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on General
    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings
    What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

  • The swoosh sound my iphone5 made when I moved mail to trash has stopped.  How do I get it back?

    The swoosh sound my iphone5 made when I moved mail to trash has stopped.  How do I get it back?

    First quit and restart Mail and see if the sound returns. BTW it is selected in Settings > Sounds correct?
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.
    If that doesn't work try a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • On my iPad2 the swoosh sound is checked in Settings but neither it nor the jingle when the battery is being recharged now work

    On my iPad2 the swoosh sound is checked in Settings but neither it nor the jingle when the iPad is connected for recharging are working. Any ideas ?

    Ensure that the mute switch is not activated. If it is not be sure the volume is at a level in which you can hear it. If your still having issues, test the sounds in other applications. If it is affecting multiple things, you may want to attempt a reset by holding the lock/power button and the home button until you see an Apple logo.

  • How do I get the swoosh sound back?

    I had to reinstall my operating system, and now don't have the swoosh sound when mail is sent. I thought I figured it out by going to System Preferences, Sound, and enabling Play user interface sound effects. But by doing that, I get all sorts of annoying sounds, particularly within iTunes. I know I did something before to get the mail swoosh, but not have sounds all the time from the user sound interface. Anyone know how to do this?

    I just checked the Previous System Folder, Library. I don't have a Sounds folder
    Sounds like you checked the HD/Library directory. Check the Home/Library folder? You should have a Sounds folder. At least in 10.5.6 there is one. Your system info confirms you are still using 10.5.2. Have you considered updating?
    I just checked the sounds in Mail Preferences and I do not have the swoosh sound listed as an option to choose. I listened to them all & none of them makes a swoosh sound. Perhaps that sound is not included in os 10.5.6.
    If the swoosh sound is not in your Home directory, search the net for the swoosh sound (email sounds), install to your desktop, then move it to the Home directory sound folder.
    Go to Mail Preferences/General, select New Mail Sound and from the drop down window select Add. Select your sound.
    Repair permissions and restart your computer. Send some mail to yourself to make sure your mail alert is working properly.

  • Lost the "swoosh" sound

    I suddenly lost the "swoosh" sound when an email is sent.  I changed nothing in mail preferences.  Suggestions to get the sound back?

    Same thing just happened to me. The swoosh sound when sending email from MacBook Pro suddenly vanished and I can find nothing in MAIL or System Preferences or in Mail Help on how to restore it.  I'm using Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5.
    I see several other postings about this in 2012, about it happening on iphone also, but I didn't find a solution posted.  Any one know of one?

  • IS THERE A WAY TO CHANGE THE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS FOR REMINDERS?

    IS THERE A WAY TO CHANGE THE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS FOR REMINDERS?

    Yes you can, in the sense that this is an "Alert" sound you've set for the whole Mac software, and of course this is set in System Preferences > Sounds > Sound Effects. This will change the "alert sound" for the whole Mac.
    So, No, you can't change only this particular Alert sound. If you could, it would be done in System Preferences > Notifications, and your only option there is whether you want the sound or not (Chkbox on "Play sound when receiving Notifications")

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

    Hi Frantic503,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    When you are the Family Sharing organizer, purchases are billed to your account unless the family member making purchases has an iTunes Gift Card or iTunes credit on their account. The attached article has more information on how this process works. 
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    What I may suggest in your situation would be to discontinue the Family Sharing and use iCloud calendar sharing. Using this method keeps your accounts separate but allows you to still share your calendar.

  • How to change the alarm sound for CALENDAR events?

    I missed an important meeting today, thanks to the almost-inaudible and incredibly short alarm sound in the Calendar app.
    Is there a way to change the alarm sound for events in Calendar?
    Setting another alarm in Clock is viable but obviously inconvenient.
    Thanks in advance!

    Settings > Sounds > Calendar. Maybe it was inaudible because yoursound was not turned up.
