Disabling push notifications in Mac OS 10.7.5

I just moved (reluctantly) from Mac OS 10.5.8 to Mac OS 10.7.5. I keep getting notices from Little Snitch that different connections want to be made by "Applepushserviced". Since I do not want to use push notifications, how do I disable them in 10.7.5? iOS has a setting that does this, but so far I haven't found a similar setting in Mac OS. BTW, I never received these in Mac OS 10.5.8, so why now?

Using Little Snitch, I toggled "Forever" and "Deny" on each occurance. They finally stopped.

  • Disabling Push notifications for SMS

    I'm fairly new to iOS, and I'm trying to find a way to disable the push notifications presented on events -- like when you receive a text message.
    It would be great if there were a way to NOT have push notifications pop up and potentially interrupt whatever I'm doing -- but still have the badge update on the Messages app icon to indicate something new and unread.
    Can this be done, or do we need to wait and hope that Apple puts the webOS notifications guy they hired to good use? My last phone was a webOS one, so I got spoiled with that very slick and arguably "better" notifications system.

    Apple Development:  This needs to be addressed.  Like the others, my experience on the device is being interrupted by SMS notifications.  I'm watching a movie on my iphone, but my twitter feeds (which goes to my SMS) interrupts the movie constantly with SMS notifications.  Each one pauses my movie, I have to press close, and then unpause.  Really annoying.  There should be a setting to turn-off SMS notifications and let the App Icon's badge counter take care of notifying you of new messages.   Seriously.  This is an annoying issue that should override any perceived benefit of compelling users to "close" SMS message notifications.  Seems like a simple fix, too.  Please help us development.

  • Disable push notifications for an app but still have badges

    In iOS 4, disabling push for a particular app was pretty straightforward, ON/OFF.  Not only that, but badges still worked (assuming the app supports badges), regardless if notifications were enabled for that app.  For example, I opened Words With Friends and had 2 games waiting me turn.  If I exited the app without taking my turn, you'd see 2 in the app's badge.
    Now in iOS5, there are 5 different ON/OFF knobs you can tweak in the notification menu for a typical app 1) Notification Center 2) None/Banner/Alert 3) Badge app Icon, 4) Sounds 5) View In Lock Screen.  It appears, I'd like some confirmation on this, that if you turn any one of the knobs ON, then push is enabled for that app.  So say I only wanted badges enabled, like the behavior in iOS 4, but still wanted to leave Push off, is this now impossible to accomplish?  Or even better, say I wanted the notification in the Notification Center, but want Push turned off, is this also impossible?

    Talk to the developer.

  • HT201299 Is it possible to set push notifications to work only in wifi, rather than disabling them altogether?

    I would like to use push notifications, but in a way that limits data usage if possible. Does anyone know if it's possible to set them to push when you're in wifi but then not to come when it would require data? Right now it looks like I would have to manually disable push notifications when I'm not in wifi and then turn them back on when I'm back in wifi. Anyone know a way to make them phone do that automatically?
    Thanks for any help!

    The amount of data used with a push notification is miniscule.

  • Email Account Push Notifications

    I am a new iPhone user. I have setup three email accounts in my phone, two personal and one business. I am trying to find a way to disable the audible alert for my business account, but keep the notifications active for my personal accounts. (I get so many emails from work that the thing buzzes all the time).
    Is there a way to disable push notifications for one account only?

  • Push notifications for uninstalled app

    I had the Starbucks app installed.  Even after I disabled push notifications, I was still receiving push notifications.  I uninstalled the app and I'm still getting push notifications.  Any suggestions?

    Install the app.  Make sure that notifcations for the App are turned OFF.  Then uninstall it again.

  • Push Notification Errors

    Hi All...
    New SLS setup in use right now.  After taking it online, I noticed a number of errors in the System log from the push_notify service:
    May 11 10:56:17 xserve push_notify[65469]: error: <iq id='11010' to='[email protected]/push_notify' type='error' from='pubsub.server.domain.com' xmlns='jabber:client'><error type='cancel' code='404'><item-not-found xmlns='urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xmpp-stanzas'/></error><pubsub xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub'><publish node='/Public/IMAP/server.domain.com/portnum/Mailbox/8EF7DC85-63EA-4302-B4EA-A9 996E815C89'><item><plistfrag xmlns='plist-apple'/></item></publish></pubsub></iq>

    We have Push notifications set up for both iCal and Mail, neither seem to be working.  But I'm also not sure what I should "see" as a result of the push.  Is it like mail, where you just get a red number on the icon in the dock?  On iPhones, should you get a banner message (like Facebook does)?
    I've researched this error and while a number of people posted questions on it last fall, there weren't many solutions and nothing reported recently.
    Thanks in advance!

    Mac OS X Client boxes can support push notifications from Mac OS X Server boxes.  See the IDLE setting in the Apple Mail.app client, for instance.
    Mail has never been an instantaneous transport, but then I'm old enough to have routed mail via decvax and many other gateways. 
    Push notifications do help reduce client battery usage as compared with too-frequent polling intervals, but (in the absence of iOS-compatible push support) immediate end-user notifications can probably better be handled via SMS or telephone.  And how long the message takes to reach the target server is not particularly predictable, so it's only the last hop of the message and the notification (from the server to the client) that push particularly helps with.
    Put another way, if a battery-constrained client polling interval of less than (say) 15 minutes is business-critical (and there are cases where it is), then you may want to look at ensuring a sufficient battery reserve for the client, at a different mail server and particularly one with push capabilities (eg: Kerio), or at a using different notification technology (eg: SMS, phone pages).
    Power-unconstrained (grid-powered) mail clients can poll at more frequent intervals.
    If 15 or 30 minutes on a mobile client isn't critical, then you probably don't need push notifications.
    Here is some general reading on push notifications.

  • Push Notifications Disabled (error 400)

    I'm getting this error whenever I open my ESPN Streak for the Cash app. I've contacted ESPNs customer care and they are saying my error is an itunes/iphone issue.
    The problem:
    I purchased a separate service within the app to send me additional push notifications. When asked to enter my itunes password to confirm i did. This was actually the second account I tried doing this from and it worked on the first. I've heard that you should have separate itunes accounts for each iphone. I dont know if that was the issue or not, but I did create another itunes account and deleted the app and redownloaded and purchased the push notification service. I still get the error 400, but at least it says my subscription is pending now whereas it didn't register before, but still no pushes. I've also noticed for some of my other apps that i dont receive push notifications anymore. Chess with friends, facebook, email. It only bothers me because i'm paying an additional subscription service for the espn app and i cant receive push notificaitons.
    the actual message reads: Push notifications are disabled or failed to initialize. (error 400: contact customer care)
    I am also prompted to enter my itunes password everytime i open the app. I've also received (error 100: contact customer care)before. Don't know if any of this could be useful info. But that's pretty much all i know.

    I don't know where your other reply went re: turning off push notifications and that this appears to be a problem for 4s users. 
    Anyway, thanks for the reboot suggestion, tried that as well.  I will try to turn off push notifications and then turn back on to see if that makes a difference.

  • How do you disable "Connect to iTunes to Enable Push Notification" Message when opeing an app? Thie message is compeleyely annoying and theres is no way to cancel it. You have to clcik on "OK" to use the app.

    How do you disable the "Connect to iTunes to Enable Push Notifications" prompt when opening apps on an iPad (OS7)? The message is completely annoying and there is no way to cancel it. You must click on "OK" to use the app. I have already disabled notifications on those apps in the Notification Center.

    The best way to do this is to leave all files unchanged, but render the file containing that horrendous bird noise unreadable to the system. Open a terminal window, and paste this command:
    sudo chmod 000 /System/Library/Frameworks/Social.framework/XPCServices/com.apple.twitter.xpc/C ontents/Resources/TwitterSent.caf
    That's it. Your Tweets should hereinafter be silent unless you change TwitterSent.caf's permissions again.

  • Disable all push notifications iOS7

    In iOS6 you can do Settings->Notifications->Off.
    I want to disable ALL push notifications on my iPad.
    I do not want my iPad talking to Apple push notification servers. And I don't want pop ups on my screen.
    How is this achievable?

    I have had the same problem and what I have found that you can do is:
    Settings->Notification centre->select app->choose none at the top and scroll down and choose to not show in notification centre
    This us the only thing I have found that you can do and it seems to stop them coming through for me!
    Hope this has helped you

  • Push Notifications keep disabling?

    I've noticed the last few days since I have updated to iOS7 and updated the facebook and twitter apps my push notifications for facebook and twitter seem to keep vanishing overnight. When I wake up in the morning I see I've had no notifications from either app overnight and they are gone from my notification center. I have to launch both apps when I wake up and I will get the pop up asking to authorize the app to send notifications and I click OK. Then I have to go into the notification center in the settings where they will now be back in the list where they always were and change back from banners to alerts.
    I go through the day fine and will then get alerts sent to me all day for everyone and everything I have set them up to send to me then overnight the next night I get none again and in the morning I have to go through this all over again. No notifications all night and I have to launch both apps and get the message asking to authorize push notifications which I will OK again then have to go into the notification center to change back to alerts from the banners. At first I thought it was something with the Twitter app but now facebook has started doing it as well so I don't think it's an issue with just the Twitter app. Maybe it's because I'm still on the iPhone 4 (thank you contract agreements & not being able to upgrade) and something is glitching with it? I don't know. It's played well with iOS7 otherwise. I depend on the alerts to catch up on what I miss during the day so I really don't want to have to remember to go into these apps every morning to re-authorize the push notifications then go to the notification center to reset them to "alerts" so I don't still miss smething because it then defaults to the useless banners again. Anybody else seeing this issue?

    It's not happening as frequently but it is still happening to me. I wouldn't care quite as much if Apple didn't decide to make "banners" the default. I have everything set for "alerts" so when they all go away I then have to go into every app and OK the push notifications again then go into the settings to change them back to "alerts" from the defaulted "banners". Come on Apple either fix this or at least give us the option to set "alerts" as our default notification setting. Not all of us like the banners!!! I hate them!!!
    Also as an unrelated annoyance I've also now had to turn off my Twitter's badge app icon because it will constantly show a "1" now. I've deleed the app, info, changed passwords, unlinked the account, linked it back, all multiple times and it stil continues to show the red circled "1" badge app. Since that has happened since the last Twitter update I'm sure it's an issue there with their app and nothing on Apple's end but it's just as annoying.

  • Kik push notifications disabled

    after I installed ios7,  most of my messaging apps asked permission to send push notifications, and out of habit I declined push notifications for kik on accident. the app says to go into settings>notifications and turn on push notifications from there, but when I go into settings on my iPhone 4, there is no notifications tab anywhere to be found. Also, I did a bit of research to figure this out before asking a question on here. Many people who had a similar  problem said that upon opening, they got a message telling them to connect to iTunes, and I never got that message but decided to try connecting to iTunes anyway, to no avail. Any suggestions on this issue would be greatly appreciated!

  • Re:Push notification error when publishing a new folio from DPS

    I have run into a problem when publishing a new folio to our app from DPS Folio Producer. I published the new folio without a probelm, but when I pus the "Notify" button, I get an error message that an error has occured while sending the push notification. The push certificate has expired and that to upload a valid push notification, I should rebuild my app in DPS App Builder and to retry sending push notification. (See screen grab).
    This is our first push notification for a recently approved app. I worked through all the instruction to create push notifications through DPS. And we tested everything and it was fine.
    Our app is a free subscription, multi-folio app in newsstand hosted on the DPS server with DPS push notifications.
    What am I doing wrong? I really don't want to have to bebuild/resubmit the app to iTunes to get this to work. It seems odd that the push certificate would be expired, we just created it last month.
    Thanks!
    Running most recent DPS version on a MAC OSX 10.9.2

    Hi,
    Direct saves to the server from MS Office over Webdav are not recommended when the versioning mode is Manual. The reason is that the actions of checking out & checking in the document need to be done from the Team Collaboration client and are not done from within MS Office.
    Rather, set the versioning mode to Auto or Disabled and it should work just fine.
    Thanks,
    Jay

  • Push Notification won't Start

    I just bought a Mac Mini Server with Snow Leopard, and I can't get the Push Nofitification service to start. Whenever I try to start it, I get an error message that says,
    "The Service has Encountered an Error
    Try to refresh the view (XXXXXXX.local./Push Notification). (NILRESPONSEERR (* -[NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: attempt to insert nil value (key: domain)))"
    Now of course refreshing the new doesn't help. I also tried disabling the service and re-enabling it with no luck. Restarting the computer doesn't work either. Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?

    I was getting the same error. Here's what worked for me;
    1)I made sure that changeip -checkhostname wasn't reporting any errors.
    2)My Static IP didn't have the rDNS setup so I called my Provider and requested that they create an rDNS entry for my domain so that the reverse DNS would resolve to my domain rather than to theirs.
    3)The Next day, After the rDNS Propagated, I shut down all services and Power-cycled my router and my server.
    I was then able to get Push Notification to start running.
    now of course ymmv but I hth anyways

    Likely because both occurred at the same time and/or you created another Admin user/ didn't allow the new Admin to admin the machine?
    Hold c and boot off your Snow Leopard install disk and second screen in under the Utilities menu is Reset Password.
    There is also a Single User mode (caution root user!) way to reset passwords on each account.

    Before you do that, make sure at any opportunity to backup your files manually to a external drive and disconnect.
