Hi,
I'm thoroughly confused. To get a sound to play do we need to do
something in folder actions setup or services preferences? Does
this apply only to the latest osx or earlier versions too?
I have 10.8.4. I was able to find folder actions setup (from the

I don't think you can get a sound to play with the default folder action. A
dialog box will pop up when you add an item to the folder and you confirm that
you want to allow it. I don't notice any sound. I'd guess you could add
something with an Apple script, but I am not sure.
Take Care
Services preferences are mostly involved with keyboard commands and don't have
anything to do with setting up folder actions. they are just another choice in
the same menu that sometimes got mistakenly invoked. What you want is Folder
actions setup. It doesn't play a sound; it just presents a

OK, this slow person would like a refresher. Where is the check box to be found
that must be checked in order to enable folder actions? Is it in service
preferences? When I go to services preferences, I see a table of keyboard short
cut categories. I don't see how that relates to folder
Choose the script you want to apply. You will not see the check box until you
make a choice. I'd focus on the folder to which you want to have this apply
first though.

Are you first focusing on the folder to whitch you wish the script to take
effect? IF you are, don't know what to suggest exept maybe to run a disk
repair and restart.

It's actually not in the services preferences dialog. It's in the services

VO-f2 twice quickly to see if you can choose the dialog window from the window

Nope. Done disk repair, set the same thing up in another folder, but when I go
in my downloads folder, it says no services apply!

Hi all,
I'm happy to report that the folder actions script for notifying when a new
item is downloaded now works properly. This is a wonderful little utility that
Finder has. Basically, you find the folder you want, go to the finder menu, and
choose services submenu, then folder actions setup.
