Guys, in which folder are the sound alarm stored into?

I wish to add some more...

I'd like to know too... bloody Spotlight doesnt search system folders..

No one? :P

Which sound alarms are you talking about? Is it from a specific app?

Not sure what sound alarm you mean, but try , finder> Library> sounds.

For example if I set an iCal event I can connect a sound to it but there are only system sounds like puur or tink, etc... What I want to do is to find the folder in which these sound are and drop my ones...

Here you go,........library> application support>ical

yeh they've turned spotlight stupid. In tiger it used to search library folders but now it doesnt, and its annoying me quite a bit lately...

??? Where are the sound in the iCal folder ???

In Tiger they had their own folder called Audio I think... but in the one in Leopard there is nothing inside...

yep... can't understand why...

You can search system folders with spotlight-

Search anything in spotlight, then click 'show all'. Then click the little plus sign in the top right hand corner of the spotlight finder window. Under the 'kind' drop down thing, select other. Then select 'system files'. Click 'ok', select 'include' then click 'save'. Name it as something like 'System' and there you go! Something that searches system files.

wooow! thanx!

got this from Mac 911 Hint of the Week:



Apple tells us that you can use Spotlight to search into the guts of the System and Library folders, but, for the life of me, I can't make it work. What's the secret? 

The answer is that you have to tell the Mac to do it. To do so, follow these steps:



1. Produce a Searching window by typing Command-F while in the Finder.



2. Choose Other from the Kind pop-up menu.



3. In the sheet that appears, type System in the Search field. 



4. Select the single System Files entry that appears.



5. Should you wish to conduct these deep searches in the future and want to make it easier to do (meaning you won't have to choose Other and look for the System Files entry), enable the In Menu option. System Files will now appear in the pop-up. 



6. Click OK.



7. When you next wish to search every part of your Mac, select System Files from the Kind pop-up menu and in the pop-up menu next to it, choose Include. Your results will include not just the kind of Spotlight results you saw with Tiger but now also the files the Mac OS tries to keep from prying eyes.

Thanks for this hint

It will help me greatly

Thanks again

And again
