How do I stop iMessage from automatically opening my conversation with a person when they message me?

iMessage problem on my ipod. Whenever someone messages me on imessage and my ipod is locked it'll come up on my lock screen and even if I don't swipe the message, imessage automatically pops up and opens the conversation. How do I stop this?

What do you mean it opens automatically? Do you have a passcode on your device?
So if the phone is locked and you watch the screen as a message comes in, does it automatically (without any interaction) open the conversation or what?  Do you see the alert then it automatically opens without touching it?

  • How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

    Hi, well as the title states:
    How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
    It's getting on my nerves...
    Thanks.

    This might also be helpful:
    I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
    Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.

    set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
    set answer to button returned of question
    if answer is equal to "Yes" then
              tell application "iPhoto" to activate
    end if

    How do I stop iCloud from automatically opening email attachments in Firefox?

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

  • How do I stop Safari from automatically opening when I start iTunes?

    A couple months ago, something very strange started happening.
    Every time I open iTunes, Safari starts up opened to this page:
    file:///Applications/OmniGraffle.app/Contents/Resources/ja.lproj/OmniGraffle%20H elp/index_Customizing.html
    It is an HTML page for "OmniGraffle Help," even though I have never installed OmniGraffle.
    Anyone know how this came to be and how I can prevent this from happening anymore? Thanks for any help.

  • How do I stop iTunes from automatically opening .wav files

    I recently arranged to have voicemails to a business number sent to me in the form of .wav files that I check at the end of the day from my home PC. I was disappointed to learn that when I open the email and double click the .wav file it automatically imports it to my music library in iTunes (also selecting to be synched). I am just trying to get these files to open in Quicktime. Any help?

    Can you tell me how? I am having the same issue, but I think mine is opening automatically whenever I download any new music files.

  • How do I stop mail from automatically opening?

    Just bought an iPad.  When I open mail, a message is already open.  I just want to see my inbox, no open mail.  Can I do this?

    You can't.
    You can delete mails from the reading list without seeing them beyond the preview....say you open your mail app and you have 20 new mails. The top one or maybe #21 will be open and displayed. In the list you can swipe across the mail, right to left, and delete it without opening it, but there'll always be one mail open. That's just how it works.

  • How do I stop Firefox from automatically opening on startup since last update on Macintosh running Tiger?

    Firefox automatically starts itself on start-up every time. I don't want it to. If I want it on, I'll click on it. I don't go on the internet every single time I start up my computer and don't like having to WAIT for it to start up so I can quit it. I don't know why it does this - never did before - and it is EXTREMELY annoying! HELP! I'm on a Macintosh operating with Tiger OS.

    For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
    1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

  • How do I stop apps from automatically opening the files that were open the last time the app ran?

    I open Text Edit and 5 pages that were open last time appear. I don’t want them. I open Photoshop, and all the photos I had open last time open. And when I shut down, I have to deselect the Reopen windows... or the computer starts back up with all the stuff I was using at the end of the day. I can’t find anything in System Prefs that gives me the right to control my own computer...

    Look at System Preferences > General > uncheck "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" under the Number of Recent items label.

  • How can I stop apps from automatically opening the most recent file?

    Why do apps running under OSX insist on loading the last-opened file whenever you start them up?
    I've seen this now with Preview and QuickTime so far and it's really annoying. If I double click a file to preview or play it, why would I want the last files I'd viewed to also reopen without my asking for it?
    Really annoying...

    To switch off the "Restore windows ..." generally is the "brute force method".
    With some apps, this behavior is really a benefit (e.g. Terminal, Texteditors, ...).
    So you might decide to selectively switch off this behavior for each app, that should not restore:
    see link:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/161330/2011/07/four_lion_terminal_hacks.html
    e.g. for Preview:
    defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
    I guess this will soon be available as an option in each apps GUI-preferences.

  • How to stop Acrobat from automatically opening created PDF?

    This may be a question asked elsewhere, but my search didn't find it.
    How can I stop Acrobat from automatically opening every PDF that I create in Adobe Reader?  I'm using using Acrobat 6.0 Pro.
    Thanks for your help with this major annoyance!
    Cheers.

    Adobe does not recommend Reader and Acrobat both be installed. They have strange interactions and can cause problems. If you do not have problems, you are lucky. Part of the problem is that they leave a part resident to enable quick opening. If it works for you, then fine. If you have some problems, you at least have an idea of what a prime candidate is for the error.
