Re: Mysterious Alert Beep

Hi Ronni I seldom open the widgets - only four are activated: iStat Pro, Calculator, Weather and Stocks. I can't detect any sound setting associated with them. Sound source was difficult to pinpoint: it was definitely not a smoke alarm, mobile phone or the fridge door - -.There are four Fi

Re: Mysterious Alert Beep

Hi Alan, Yes, "Funk" is the default alert sound in System Preferences >Sound - Sound Effects. Did you have any external drives attached when your heard the 'beep'? I would disconnect any external drives from the Mac to eliminate if one of them causing the 'beep'. Also check any widgets in Dash

Hi Ronni Sound effects for alerts and whatever should be the installed defaults. Mail new message sound is - "New Message Sound". My quick read-around on alert tones directed me to the System Preferences > Sound - sound effects. I didn't realise that the highlighted tone was a user set de

Ronni, I have not tried to update using a Windows machine. I'd given up up using Windows machines a few years ago [because I could ;-) ]. However, I tried using my old copy of Parallels (v5.0.9 etc) with Windows 98 SE. I followed the instructions as far as I was able. After getting the msg that

In System Preferences > Sound - Sound Effects, do you have 'Glass' selected as an alert sound? Or is it a beep, beep, beep sound? Cheers, Ronni On 12/10/2012, at 12:31 PM, Alan Smith wrote: > Several times this morning I heard an unknown alert beep at irregular > intervals. Possibly "glass"

Re: Safari toolbar problem

Hi Allen, Yes, an Erase & Install of Snow Leopard would be very sensible, there are problems on your current system, most possible brought over from previous upgrades. As I have mentioned before on WAMUG, left over "Clutter" from previous systems can slow your Mac down and also cause problems.

Several times this morning I heard an unknown alert beep at irregular intervals. Possibly "glass" tone. No physical info window with messages appeared. Computer has been running with System Preferences > Energy Saver > 'Computer Sleep Never' since about 9pm last night. I 'Shut Down' the comp

Hi Mac I would suggest open a new internet window (whatever you do, DO NOT click the link in the email), type in your internet banking web address and log in that way (if you use internet banking). If you dont, i wouldd say most likely it is spam. if it is a legitimate email, your 'mail inbox'

Re: Slow connections and ISP excuses

Hi Vlad, This does not surprise me ;-) Have you been able to update the firmware using a Windows machine? It would help if you can update the firmware. If you have not updated the firmware yet, make sure you read the "3G21WB Firmware Upgrade Instructions" located here with the firmware.

Ronni, Thought you might be interested in this, since you suggested the firmware update for 3G21WB. Regards, Vlad *** On 11 October BigPond Technical Support wrote (excerpt): Thank you for your email 10/10/2012 regarding the issu
