Can you turn off notifications in iMessage?

I sometimes use iMessage on my home computer but I like to sign out when I'm done. Every time I sign back in, I get an email AND a notification on my phone that I've signed in from the computer. This is really annoying. Is there a way to turn off this notification system so I can sign in without getting an email and notice on my phone? I tried the Alert menu in Preferences but there doesn't seem to be a choice there for this option. BTW I'm using 10.8.5 on my iMac and an iPhone 5. Thanks.

Hi,
If...
You use Messages on the Mac with the same ID as you use on the iPhone you will get a pop on the iPhone when you reset the app.
Basically if you deleted the Apple ID off the iPhone and then Added it again you would get a Pop up saying so on the Mac version.
I do not get the pop up when I just shut down the app each night and restart it after work to post here.
Nor do I get it if I untick the "Enable this Account" box.
This suggests your Signing out is a stage too far each time.
I am not sure Carolyn's suggestion will work in this instance, although she could mean set Do Not Disturb instead of Signing out.

  • How can you turn off notifications for app store?

    Each time I  go to a forum site, it tells me there is an app for Tapatalk for the site to chat with.  If I click on cancel, it continues to pop up each time I try to respond on the forum.  If I click on OK, it takes me to the app store to buy the app for Tapatalk, which I do not want.  How do I turn off this notification that keeps popping up?  I do not see anyway to do this in the settings.

    I hate that too.   What you are seeing is a 'feature' of the forum's website.   They want you to down load their app.  It's not coming from apple, but the website.

    An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

    How can you turn off the sounds for receiving a text or e-mail while on a phone call???

    That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.

  • Can you turn off apps that you've opened so the battery lasts longer?

    With the new upgrade to 7.0.2 can you turn off apps you've opened so the battery lasts longer?

    Two things:
    In iOS 7 to close apps now you double click the Home button, then slide up on the cards for the apps you'd like to close.
    Next, to actually deal with the battery use issue and open apps, you can go to Settings>General>Background App Refresh and turn off the apps you don't care to have working behind the scenes.
