Badge app icons won't stay off

I have five different email accounts set up on my iPhone. I have set the notifications so that only one of them (the one I use for personal emails) has badge apps. That way the email account I use for shopping websites and other non-important emails does not have badges. I get dozens of emails per day from the shopping websites but only a few from my personal email. The personal email is the only badge app I want so I can see on my home screen if I have an "important" email. So I have all the notifications for badge apps turned off for my nonessential emails. However I will turn on my phone and suddenly find a badge app on my "mail" icon that says "445" or something that tells me one or more of the badge apps for my nonessential emails have mysteriously turned themselves back on. I know I'm doing it correctly because it works correctly for a couple of days. Then something happens and all of a sudden I have to fix several of them. How could this be happening? Thank you.
p.s. I was forces to choose a forum to post to but nothing matched - my products are listed (I am now on an iPhone 4S) but the categories listed are for MacBook and Windows etc - nothing for ios, mail, etc. >:(

Also try settings> general> restrictions> allow changes> background app refresh> don't allow changes.

  • Apps icons won't stay arranged

    Just got a intel Mac mini on which I did a clean install of Leopard that I updated with the combo update to 10.5.8, then I repaired the permissions.
    My Applications folder is set to be viewed by icons, and then I choose "arrange by name", also setting a background pic for the folder and a size for the icons.
    Everytime I reboot the Mac, the folder is a mess with the icons everywhere, no pic, small size, etc... I tried a lot of things from permission repairs, trashing Finder pref files, cleaning caches, trashing .ds store files... nothing works!
    Any idea is welcome!

    With your window open and arranged as you prefer press COMMAND-J. Check the box at the top to always display in icon view, set any other parameters, then click the set as default button at the bottom. This should fix things.

  • When I boot up my Mac, Messages opens automatically. I quit the app, but it just re-opens itself. It won't stay off!!! I can't figure out what's wrong with it!

    For the past few months, my Mac has been acting weird. EVERY time I boot up the computer, Messages opens automaticallly (I am runing OS X 10.8.x). I quit the app, but it just re-opens a few seconds later! It just won't stay off! I've looked it up online and nothing helps. I have no idea what to do!!!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • How do I get rid of the badge app icon on my macbook desktop calendar app?

    This icon won't go away and I don't know how to get rid of it in any of the calendar's settings, system preferences etc. Please help!

    If  you have not tried this already, try this.

  • MBP display won't stay off, wakes from sleep

    I have a newish 15" MBP, 1680 display, hooked up to a Dell external monitor when it's at home. When I go to bed I cut power to the display via control-shift-eject, but generally don't put the computer to sleep overnight.
    With this new machine, after it's been running for a while (as little as a day, or as long as a couple weeks), the displays will come on again in the night. Once this happens, the displays won't stay off for longer than about five seconds. If I then put the machine to sleep, it'll wake itself up minutes or hours later (generally not long enough to miss a Time Machine interval). The only cure is rebooting.
    I tried an SMC reset, but that fix only lasted about as long as any other reboot.
    I've since tried systematically removing every peripheral (a USB hub, the external display, any directly-connected iOS devices) and testing display-off after each; no change. I've turned off my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, then disabled Bluetooth on the computer, turned off wifi, quit every menu extra (jitouch, Viscosity, Dropbox, Pastebot, Fastscripts, Transmit, Teleport), and quit every running application. The problem remains repeatable after every step.
    It's repeatable at the moment — any suggestions for other things to try, preferably short of the reboot which temporarily masks the problem? I'm a little concerned that it's going to manifest at some point while I have the laptop sitting in a bag, which will then cook itself.
    I'm on 10.6.4 now, the problem started on 10.6.3.
    Thanks.

    Try checking the system logs in Applications/Utilities/Console.app for clues. The entries carry time stamps. Usually a wake event will leave some trace. By matching time stamps to the time of occurrence you may find the culprit.

  • Icons won't stay in dock

    Some icons won't stay in my dock when I drag them from the applications folder, but others will.
    I have tried the following without success:
    -gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.dock.plist then done a restart
    -gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.dock.db then done a restart
    -gone to library/preferences and deleted com.apple.DiskUtility.plist then done a restart
    -used disc utility to repair permissions
    -opened an application from the applications folder then whilst the icon is in the dock used right click.options/keep in dock
    -deselected dock synchronisation from mobile me sync
    None of these measures work though iPhoto & iTunes are not affected by the problem.
    The only workaround I have found is to create an alias of an application and drag this to the dock where it does stay put.
    Can anyone suggest anything else?

  • Mail icon won't stay in dock

    Recently my mail icon removed itself from the dock. It may be a sync issue because it started when I began using my second laptop and trying to use the iCloud/mobile me sync.
    My mail wasn't on the dock in #2 when I started it. I went through and tried to make everything equal to machine 1 but some programs are not the same. The next time I started machine 1, all of the dock items were equal to 2 so I reset the dock items on 1. When I went back to 2 they had reverted again.
    Now my mail icon won't stay put on 1. It was removed (mysteriously) from the dock. Now when I put it back, it disappears within a few seconds. If I open mail and then click on "keep in dock" and close mail, it disappears, too.
    I have reset my sync data to replace mobile me with info from machine 1. No luck.

    I seem to have resolved the issue by moving mail from the applications folder to the desktop. Then dragged mail from desktop to the dock. It seems to have stayed in the dock.
    I moved mail from the desktop back to the applications folder and all seems fine now.
    I am going to leave the "sync dock, sync widgets" options off.

  • Badge app icon help please

    my badge app icon for instagram is not showing i do have it turned on, I tried deleteing it & re installed & turning off my phone & back on can someone please help me?

    Assuming other apps display badges properly:
    1. Reset phone (no data loss): press both home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
    2. Get support from the Instagram developer.  The app isn't isn't an Apple product.

  • Settings badge app icon ipad

    Why does my settings have the badge app icon with the number 1 when the my iPad 2 is up to date with iOS 7?
    I've tried restarting, looked thoroughly through settings and nothing seemed to make it go away.

    A reset and a restart are two different things.
    Restart: 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears
    Reset:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    As noted here > iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

  • E72 WiFi Icon Won't Turn Off

    Eversince I installed Whatsapp on my E72, the WiFi icon won't turn off. I've tried uninstalling Whatsapp to no avail. I've also installed NetQin to use it to manage resident apps. I've disable all non-core apps and the icon still appears.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I'm hoping that this won't drain my batteries excessingly.
    Many thanks.

    This is not a solution...this is just closing your eyes to a problem...
    When you set Show Wifi Connection to Never..it just stop displaying the icon...
    After setting value to Never, just go and connect to WIFI...now the wifi icon will not be visible...
    So if you are connected to WIFI then you will not get notified.
    I would suggest dont install whatapp unless you are sure as it does some internal setting in Nokia so that wifi remains connected even after you remove whatapp...

  • Badge app icon notification not working

    Hi,
    Badge app icon notification is not working anymore on my iPad. The app has to be in execution to see the badge app icon notification appear and increase. so basically not useful at all because if I'm already in the app....... Other notifications work well.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Engineer came back pretty quickly Unfortunately it's a known issue that the badge number notification might be unreliable under certain circumstances and this will be addressed in a future updated. Right now we recommend relying on the notifications instead.

  • HT4203 My data and 3G won't stay off. It comes bak on almost instantly.

    I try to shut data and 3G off to save battery but now it won't stay off. It turns bak on in a matter of seconds. What is wrong

    This ***** because I like to listen to music while I work. It passes the time. Without turning 3G and data off the battery drains super fast.

  • Why Facebook app icon won't open?

    Why Facebook app icon won't open? Just gives me a blank page

    I believe that i've had this problem before, either restart your iMac, or un-download the app and remove the app icon from your dashboard and then re-download it.
