Oct 28 and 29 2026 request for mail alerts not working

Maybe it got moved to Mail - Apple Community (?)

Mail>Settings>General>>Play sound

To trouble shoot further you can:

—A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.

This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.

*** (if you are using a wireless keyboard with rechargeable batteries— connect the charging cable, this will make the wired keyboard successful Safe Boot your Mac.)

—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account. 

unplug all non-essential peripherals when testing

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS

TITLE: ON APPLE MAIL SWISH SOUND AND INCOMNG MAIL ALERT NOTOFICATION SOUNDS NOT WORKING

Your Posting you referred to was unanswered and this would be the link you are looking for

Outgoing" Swish Sounds & Notifications fo… - Apple Community

YES, MAIL was the only choice I had for "A Title" on the 28th-

Thank you for oyur suggestions- I don't comprehend these instructions and I wold not dare to go those places by myself- My 2 cases were in reference to the 1st case when the gal from India? had me digging in General and removed focus and now even when I go to my address bar every thing comes up GOOGLE no more do my addresses show who I am communication with- This whole mess from these two advisors after 17 years of apple puters I FEEL LIKE A NEED A "HEARING DOG" - I feel deaf having had sound for incoming and outgoing mail alerts/notifications-

OH and tonight I found my "photo booth count down" doesn't sound either anymore- Sure wish I knew who contacted me from apple/support thru communities about 2 +/- months ago before it disappeared because I feel certain they must have read the 2 surveys and DID SINCERELY WANT MORE INFORMATION to be of kind assistance- Any ideas or links I can resend my survey to at apple- Call the TX store and maybe???? they will give me an e address?
