Can't turn off new message sound in 31.3.0: prefs checkbox has no effect

After installing this update I was surprised to hear an alert sound on each arrival of a new mail message. The related checkbox (General::Play a sound) has no effect; I get the sound whether the box is checked or unchecked. After changing the setting quitting and restarting the app has no effect.
Mac OS 10.9.5

As some have noticed and posted other issues, [[https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1038464]], [[https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1038142]] , this relates to the Notification.
The notification is behind the sound and is controlled by System Preferences --> Notifications --> Thunderbird --> "Play sound for notifications". Tick that off and that's it.

    I no longer have my iPhone 4s so how can i turn off i-messages for my number?

    Hey there fwhitson,
    It sounds like you no longer have your phone but need to unlink your phone number from the iMessages service. According to this article, this is what you do:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Turn off "New Message" icon

    Hi
    Blackberry's great for working my emails but how do I stop it telling me I have new mail?
    - I have successfully turned all the sounds/vibrations/LEDs to off
    - And I have stopped it telling me how many new emails I have
    - But how do I turn off the little envelope that appears at the top of the screen telling me I have new mail?
    (I'd prefer to only know when there is new mail when I actually go into my messages, not all the time!)
    I've looked through the forums and found someone else with the same problem a couple of years ago but no solution...
    Can anyone help?
    thanks!

    You can't turn off the yellow  envelope at the top of the screen.

  • How can I turn off Start up Sound?

    How can I turn off the start up sound, on both my 10.7.5  iMac 24" Late 2006 and my 10.8.3  iMac 27" Late 2009 Mountain Lion.
    Plus my Superdrive has stopped working on both Computers. Please help asap.
    With kind regards, and many thanks.

    The best way to turn off the startup sound is to mute speakers before turning off your computer.
    Also, apps that help you turn off the startup sound don't work with iMacs. There's a command that will allow you to turn it off without muting your speakers. See > http://osxdaily.com/2012/11/04/disable-mac-boot-chime/

  • How can I turn off other languages on my ipad running ios7?  It has Japanese or Chinese and the international keyboard is set to English.  Thank you.

    How can I turn off other languages on my ipad the next generation running ios7?  I have the international language set to English but it's showing a foreign language and sometimes it shows the foreign language with English.  Thank you.

    The complete backup and restore procedure is explained in the link above.
    If you don't want to do a restore, then your iPad may remain in the unstable state you have for the moment.
    You can change the country in the App Store. Have a look at the bottom of the App Store screen, you can change the country and also do the permanent change via Manage > Account.
    You can change the language in iTunes via General Preferences > under General tab.

  • Turning off new message indicator AND the new message count

    Greetings,
    Is it possible to turn off both the new message indicator (red asterix) and the new message count?
    I would like no message indicators to appear on my blackberry home screen.
    Thanks ever so much for your help.

    I guess I didn't read close enough.  I don't think you can turn off the red asterisk.  It's going to show up on the icon no matter what. 
    As for the text messages, I'm not sure the setting for not showing message count indicator applies for text messges.  In fact, if you have OS 5, it most likely doesn't as sms is handled much differently.   
    You can turn off sounds and the red led in Profiles (or Sounds in OS 5)
    You're basically wanting to disabl everything the phone was designed to do.

  • I can't turn off new ipad

    I bought new iPad yesterday. I can't turn it off.
    Have tried
    Holding down on off switch
    Holding home button and on off switch for 10 secs
    Resetting iPad.
    Any ideas.

    Just to confirm, you're holding down the button in the top right (when the red slider appears, slide it right)? I wouldn't consider it a switch as much as a button, so I wanted to make sure you weren't holding down the mute/unmute or lock/unlock orientation switch.
    As a drastic last attempt, you may want to try a "factory reset" or reset to new: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    If that still doesn't work, you may have faulty hardware and you'll want to take it to an apple store.
