Why have my email notification sounds stopped?

Why am I suddenly not getting any ping sound for incoming emails nor the swoosh for outgoing on my laptop. I am not on mute and have not changed any settings.

For a start try going to system preferences, sound effects tab and make sure that "Play user sound effects" is checked, and alert volume is turned up

  • Email notification sound despite sound is on mute

    Why does my Retina iPad give email notification sound despite sound is on mute? My 1st generation iPad does not produce any sound if it's on mute.

    Are you sure that you have system sounds muted? Either the side switch or the task bar (double tap the home button and swipe to the right in the task bar to get to whatever icon is all the way to the left - sound or rotation lock) is how you mute system sounds.
    You could try Settings>General>Sounds>New Mail>None as well and that should turn off the sound. Just make sure that you do have system sounds muted first.
    This is my standard and somewhat long winded explanation regarding system sounds and the screen rotation lock.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Can I change the email notification sound?

    I can't hear the email notification sound on my iPhone. Is there a way to customize it? I have it turned up as loud as it will go, but, if I'm out somewhere, and my phone is in the holster, I can't hear it!
    Any help would be appreciated!!

    Hi Stephanie,
    The email sound options are in Settings> Sounds. There is no option to change the tone.
    You can leave iPhone feedback requesting a feature be modified here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Why have I lost video sound on my ipad?

    Why have I lost video sound on my ipad?

    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.)
    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.

  • OS4: Can I change the incoming email notification sound???

    OS4: Can I change the incoming email notification sound???
    I installed OS4 but still cant seem to.
    HOW CAN I CHANGE MY INCOMING EMAIL ALERT SOUND???

    Apparantly Apple have yet to realize that people like to customize their handsets.
    I had an HP in 2001 and it had fully customized sounds.
    It also had the option of a calendar on the Wallpaper - one of the most important features of a business handset.
    OS4 on IPhone and yet the only way of someone getting these important features is to JB it. This is my 3rd Iphone and I won't be getting an IPhone 4, 5 or 6 until an OS update unlocks that wallpaper for a calendar.

  • Is there a way to have the email notifications include the PDF form?

    Is there a way to have the email notifications include the PDF form?

    Very Disappointing. You fill out a Form and you can't get the Form via E-Mail :-(
    Only the information you filled in in the empty fields.
    I designed a contract formular for customers.
    The customer fills out the PDF in the web form.
    Via E-Mail notification i get the infos the client entered in the form.
    But not the PDF itself.
    So i have to enter the web frontend search the data and download the filled in form from there.
    After downloading the form i have to e-mail the form to the customer and the mailing list by hand ...
    I would think that it is an obvious feature that you can e-mail copy of what is entered (together with the text of the formular!) as an pdf attachement and not only the entered fields ...
    Maybe someon can check this feature request. (Attach entered form as PDF to the notification E-Mail).
    It would also be great if you would have the possibility to enter an E-Mail Adress for CC insinde the formular :-)

  • Email notification sound not playing

    I have 2 email accounts synced to my phone. One hotmail and one from my offices exchange server. I only get notification sounds from the hotmail account and not the other. I  need the notification to play for the outlook exchange account. I have notifications turned on and a sound selected. Why is it only playing for the hotmail account and not on the outlook exchange account? How can I fix this?

    Leave the one you have setup for your hotmail account alone since that one is already working for you. Go through the steps listed below for your outlook exchange account and see if these steps will work for you.  
    1.From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located in the lower-left).
    2.Touch Mail.
    3.Touch Menu.
    4.Touch More.
    5.Touch Settings.
    6.Touch Notification Settings.
    7.Touch Email notifications.
    Email notifications are enabled if a green check mark is present.
    8.
    Touch the desired notification.
    Notifications are enabled if a green check mark is present.

  • N8 - Can you disable email notification sound

    Hi all, Had this phone for about 3 days & its sending me insane.  It gives me a loud beep every time I get an email, usually 4 -5 times through the night.  ( My wife, alias "why did'nt you get an Iphone like mine") is not impresed.  When I go into main menu settings, I can press about 3 to 4 differents icons eg - settings > phone>voice commands > settings & then it goes in voice mode & I can't do a thing with it.  How can I get rid of voice commands & turn off my email notification,
    Thanks Rob

    I realise that you have 'accepted' a solution to your problem but I would like to suggest an alternative.
    There is a Free application on Ovi suite called Nokia Situations.  This allows you to set up different profiles for different situations.
    I have a profile that I called Night Time which I have set Nokia Situations to activate at 11pm and deactivate at 8am.  In this profile I have turned all sounds off apart from allowing the phone to ring if a member of my family calls.  I also get it to turn off Bluetooth during the Night Time profile and other battery saving things.  Nokia situations is very comprehensive and I guess I only use a small percentage of its features but I think it is superb. 
    I used to have to remember to switch to Night Time profile late at night and then back to General in the morning.  Now, it is all automatic.
    Hope this helps.

  • Email notification sound not working

    I own a iPad2 wifi. I have added my yahoo mail business account to my iPad. The current Sounds settings in my iPad is Ringer and Alerts ----> ON; Ringtone ----> Alarm; New Mail -----> ON and other settings such as Sent Mail, Calendar Alerts are in OFF mode. But I don't hear any sound alert when ever I receive an email. Do I need to need anything more to hear the sound. Appreciate your help.

    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

  • Can't get email notifications to stop - please help!

    I'm posting this message per instructions for "How do I stop receiving email notifications from Adobe Forums?" at  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/416458?tstart=0
    I have followed the instructions dated June 30, 2010, gone to "MyStuff  and followed all the steps in both  Email Notifications and Preferences. I'm supposed to attach a screenshot of the Email Notifications tab after step five, which would prove to you that I have indeed checked the radio buttons to "NO", but I can't do that because you have disable attachments. Please be assured that I have done as you say though - they both say NO!
    As for the second request - the reply-to address from one of the email notifications, it's this:
    [email protected]
    Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop the notifications from coming? You may disable my Adobe account if necessary.

    I'm aware that I had two sign-ons, but the trouble is, or was, that the first one (ebmeyer1) stopped working.
    It is in the midst of the recent Acrobat 8.2.4 update fiasco, and I needed HELP. I was able to post in the relevant thread, but thereafter, whenever I tried to sign on again I got caught in an endless redirect loop after entering my password. I was desperate, so I created a second sign on in order to participate. That worked for awhile, then it too gave the same result - and endless redirect upon password entry.
    I was able to participate in THIS thread by pasting in the URL from one of the Acrobat issue email notifications, sent to the second account, into Safari. Only in Safari would the password go through, and only for the second account - not the first.
    Now tonight - for a split second - the first account started working again - this time in Firefox. NOW I was able to get to the settings for ebmeyer1 and make the necessary changes. (Thanks for the article!)
    I hope to gawd this works. The "Contact Adobe" help page gives no hint of where to write for a situation like this - where accounts suddenly seem to crap out on you. All they do is tell you to sign on. What the hell do you do when you CAN'T??????
    Thanks to all of you for your responses.  Once I close this browser window I may never be able to sign on again  :-(

  • Is it possible to have an email notification include a "downloaded" PDF

    I'm hoping to set up the email to include a fully filled out PDF (downloaded PDF as it's referred to within FormsCentral). This would be a great option and would allow me to set up an email to give a client access to the information in an easy to read format.
    Thanks!

    We don't support delivery of attachments with email notifications at this time. Additionally PDF forms submitted to Formscentral have their responses added to the response table within Formscentral. Based on your question it doesn't sound like there is an easy way to do this within Formscentral alone. If you were to use Acrobat and an email based workflow this would be possible.

  • New Email Notification Sound

    Hi,
    These Apple devices are getting a little popular. At my workplace I always hear the same old "ding" everytimes someone gets an email so a number of us reach for our devices to see which one it was for.
    We are up to iOS4 so I imagine it is a choice to not allow configurable notification sounds. What possible (sensible) reason can there be?! It isn't exactly a complext feature.
    The renowned Apple consistancy in operation is good but not for notifications. thats just confusing.

    You can change your email alert sounds through the use of a free app. Download Boxcar from the app store, and have it alert you when an email arrives with one of its sounds. You can then turn off the email received sound in the settings on the iPad.
    We do this in my house with 3 iphones and 2 ipads constantly dinging. Each person has a unique email arrival sound.

  • Outlook for mac on Lion the notification sounds stop working

    We have a user on a MacBook Air with Lion and the notification sounds in Outlook 2011 stop working after the computer goes to sleep and only after restarting the computer do they work again. We reinstalled Office and even lengthened the time for the computer to sleep and even unchecked for the hard disk to sleep when possible. We did a time machine transfer to get his documents from the old machine to this one. Permissions have been repaired and Office and OS have the latest updates and still the sounds disappear.
    Any help would greatly be appreciated!
    Thanks!
