How do I stop Messages reading out my messages?

Everytime I receive a message on my Mac, the Messages app reads it out to me.  This is getting very irritating.  Does anyone know how I stop this happening please?

Ohh  !!!,
Oh,
I had lost track of that fact when you spoke of just importing the "Sound" into an iPhone.
Technically the App does have some Text it reads and it adds the Buddy's name to that.
This is handled as a NIB file in the /Resources/(CountrycodeItem)
In iChat (version 1)  you  could type the Speech text into the app
For Buddy's names to be spoken there was a Control character, which I seem to remember was the @ symbol, which inserted the Buddy's name.
Your choices now would be to use Quicktime X to save the Screen (and audio) when the speech plays that you want, then import it in to GarageBand to extract the Audio/Create ringtone.

  • How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    I am running Windows 7 and I needed to create an unprivileged user on my computer. When I open a PDF file, it almost instantly crashes (I can view the document for about three seconds). If I simply open Adobe Reader without a PDF and click Edit -> Preferences, it crashes. If I open a PDF in any browser, it crashes.
    From what I have been able to surmise, it seems that Adobe Reader is trying to read the registry of my privileged user. I have tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, temporarily giving privileges to my unprivileged user, installing Adobe Reader on that user, and then remove the permissions, but the crash still occurs. The only way to stop Adobe Reader from crashing is to start the program as an administrator or change the account type to administrator. How do I stop Adobe Reader from crashing on my unprivileged user?

    It said "Adobe Reader has stopped working" soon after I opened it, but I was still able to scroll down the document. It was only once I pressed Close Program that it stopped working.
    Upon trying it a second time, it immediately stopped letting me scroll down when the program crashed. Here is the error log, I receive the exact same exception code every time:
    Application Error

  • How do I stop Messages notifications when the app is closed?

    Messages have an annoying tendancy to still "come through" even after I've quit the program, popping up in the right hand corner of my screen until I attend to them.  How do I stop this from happening?  There are many times in the day when I'd like to not receive messages from contacts/friends/families and just concentrate on work.  I can turn my phone off, silence it, etc. to stop messages from coming through there, but on my computer, where I am working, turning off the device in question is not an option.  With Messages on Mavericks, quitting the program doesn't seem to do the trick.

    Alternative.
    In Messages > Preferences > General Section.
    Untick the "When I Quit, Set the Status to Off Line"
    This will stop the IMAgent Support app "listening" to the servers for new messages.
    It works best if there is a Buddy list account as well as iMessages (such AIM or Jabber).

  • How do you stop the Knock Out title slide from moving?

    I'm attempting to stop the Knock Out slide from moving. I simply want the title to pop up and remain in one place. Right now, the title pops up and then moves across the screen. Appreciate any advice anyone has!

    Not sure what you're doing but my Knock Out zooms into the screen and eases to a stop. It then sits there until the end. It looks like this at the end:
    Is that what you have?

  • How can I stop  Adobe Reader from opening after start up?

    I just installed version 9. I remember a question that appeared during installation that was something like "do you want Adobe Reader to open after start up?" I said checked yes because I assumed this meant I wanted it in my StartUp menu. After everything loads and my desktop comes up, the Adobe Reader file opens up showing all the program's files and just sits there. I have to close it each time after start up.
    I looked through Preferences, but can't find a way of stopping the program's file window from opening after start up. How can I stop this? Thanks for your help.

    Edit>Preferences
    Under Page Display:
    Where it says "Location of referenced files", if it shows "Floppy Disk A:/" clear the box, or choose an alternate location if you can't clear it.
    Also, under Search:
    Click "Purge Cache Contents"

  • How do I stop Adobe Reader X from reading documents meant for Adobe Digital Editions?

    I  was trying to download via  Sample e-Book Library, just to check if my Adobe Digital Editions was working properly.
    Turns out, PDFs / Urls are interrrupted by Adobe Reader X.
    Even though  Adobe Reader X is unable to read it, or as it  keeps telling me: "Adobe reader could not open URLLINK.acsm because it is either not a supported file type, or because the file has been damaged"
    Any suggestions to how I could abort Adobe Reader X from automatically read documents meant for Adobe Digital Editions?

    It's Windows 8.
    Turns out the problem was acsm.files preconfigured to be opened in Adobe Reader. The solution was to right click on the file(s) in Downloads, and then reconfigure  it through the option "open as/in ..."
    and somehow give the correct adress, through Computer:/ C and so on,  to the  Adobe Digital Editions.

  • How do you stop airtunes dropping out with AEX/Extreme bridged airports?

    I finally found out how to get my Airports networked so that I could use the internet and airtunes to work at the same time, only now neither works well. The connection to my speakers cuts out every few minutes, simultaneously disconnecting from the internet. This is driving me nuts. Does anyone know how I can get this to stop?
    Thanks,
