How do i stop notifications from ringing while im on a phone call on the iphone 4s

how do i stop notifications from ringing while im on a phone call on the iphone 4s?

Basel,
I'm not sure why these folks are having trouble understanding your request. I will dumb it down for them. Is there an option to have the iPhone only provide me with notifications when I'm not on the phone. Having my $800ish phone buzz and interrupt my phone conversation (after all primary function of this iPhone is being a phone) to let me know one of my Facebook friends has challenged me to a game of words with friends. I don't want my iPhone to not notify me at all. It can notify me after the call (again primary function) is complete. Going through menus and turning off notifications all together is absolutely silly. I wouldn't want to have to navigate through the menus and turn them off and then on an then off just to make or receive a phone call. Could you imagine answering you phone with, "hey, just wait I have to turn my notifications off so I can have this conversation." every time you wanted to talk on the phone.
So yeah. Again not sure why they were having trouble with understanding you. I hope this helps clarify it for them.

  • My wife and I share a computer, but different Itunes accounts. How do I stop itunes from synchronising her apps to my phone

    My wife and I share a computer, but different Itunes accounts. How do I stop itunes from synchronising her apps to my phone?

    If the music is on the same computer, import the songs to your iTunes library by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows).  If the music is on different computers you can set up Home Sharing to copy the music from one library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

  • How do I stop notifications from a particular source?

    Perhaps I inadvertently clicked on something recently, but I've begun getting notifications from "Mac Prices Australia" (I live in the United States). I can see the item listed in Notifications in System Preferences, but I don't see an option to remove it. Plus, there are a number of items here that I don't actually use and would like to remove. How do I go about this?

    Well, I realize that would keep the notifications from appearing, but I also assume there's a bit of code for Mac Prices Australia that would still remain on my Mac, and I'd like to delete that entirely. I poked around in the Library, hoping to find a folder with these notifications, but I haven't found one yet.
    I guess I titled my question incorrectly. I should have asked how to remove rather than just stop notifications from a particular source.

  • My iPad is receiving the phone calls that the iPhone under the same iCloud account is receiving, how do I stop/prevent this?

    I have an older iPad that we use at my office for Pandora. My iPhone is connected to the same iCloud account as my iPhone is & once in a while my iPad will receive a phone call, not a FaceTime call, from one of my contacts that's trying to call me. It will say the contact's name up at the top like usual, it plays my iPhone ringtone, says "Slide to Answer" but also beneath that it says "from my iPhone." I still receive the phone call on my iPhone but I also receive it on my iPad & I'd obviously like it to stop. Can anybody help me out?

  • How do i stop Safari from freezing while i'm surfing the internet?

    Ok, so here's the problem. Every time I go onto Safari, it doesn't respond after i search for something on google or go on Facebook. now, i have to use Safari in Safe Mode each time and the audio is disabled so i can't watch or listen to music videos. Can someone tell me how to stop Safari from doing this? Thanks. 

    Maybe try another browser like Firefox.
    Also, try creating a new user account on your mac, and log in to that, to see if you continue to have the same problems.

  • How to transfer app data from one mac to another without using syncing of the iphone?

    Right, recently I have tried to change which computer my Iphone syncs with so that my older mac can be sold or disposed of in some profitable form. I have successfully synced all of my music off of one mac onto another via home sharing at which point I connected my phone to my new computer which suggested that the phone needed a software update. Immediately after doing this I realised that my updated Iphone 3GS would no longer sync to my old computer and attempted to sync it just to confirm this- it failed and stated that the iphone could only sync with itunes 10.1 which is a higher spec than that mac can hold. I then feeling doubtful that things would work out tried to carry on as if this problem were absent but I later discovered that I could only transfer the apps that I had synced to my phone to my new mac and all unsynced apps appeared lost because as I stated previously I could not sync with my older mac which contains all of their data. I have consulted the online apple manual for the phone and all it states is the method of transferring purchases in itunes which I tried and is what lead to the copying of my synced apps on to my new mac. What I am asking is is their anyway that I can 'cheat' so to speak at app transfers. I know that somewhere on my old mac the files are stored with the information of the lost apps but I cannot locate them and would not know how to merge them into my newer itunes if I were to copy and paste them to a memory stick (assuming that this is the right method) Other than this is their any other way of downgrading the upgrades of an iphone or somehow tricking itunes into running a higher update than the computer spec? I've tried all I can and this is really annoying- please help!!!!!!

    I'm not entirely sure what you're asking... I'll have to look on my Mac at home to see exactly where they are, but you should just be able to copy all the apps from your old machine to thumb drive or over the network and put them in iTunes on the new one, then sync. Right click on one of the apps in your iTunes library and choose Show in Finder. That will point you to where they are.
    If you're asking how you can do this and maintain data contained 'within' the apps themselves (high scores, game progress, etc), I don't think there's any way you can do that.

  • Why can't i receive texts while on a phone call on the iphone 5s

    I receive all my texts after I hang up with a phone call. I don't even get notifications of a text at all while on a phone call. I know with iMessage you can't receive them while on a call but for normal texts how do I change that?

    New phone? Peeled off the protective plastic from the face of the phone?

  • How can i stop firefox from exiting while i'm gathering advertising credits

    '''bold text''I receive hundred's of emails from various websites (members) each time i clik on one of these emails,I receive a certain amount of credits that i use to advertise with or promote my business.
    I promote through these websites credit mailers system & thats why i need to gather credits? My question is,when i clik on one email and receive the credits for that email in my account,when i close out this email ,why can't i just move on to the next email and so on instead of firfox closing out and i have to restart firefox each time for each email?? inernet exployer doesn't do this,it remains open!!

    Are you using Firefox at a web mail website, or are you using a separate email program?
    Assuming the former. <br />
    Are those individual emails opening in a new window? <br />
    Or are they opening in the same window as the one with the "inbox"?

  • How do I stop Safari from automatically loading a URL when I start typing the first few letters in the URL/search bar?

    My question concerns a bug (or feature, I'm not sure which) that I've been seeing for some time on my Safari installations.
    I'm running Lion (the latest patched version) with Safari (ditto). I've noticed that every so often, if I open a new tab and start typing something in the search/URL bar, Safari will not only suggest something based on my history, but will actually begin loading the page as though I had accepted that suggestion.
    For example, today, I typed the letter "b" in the search/URL bar, paused for a few seconds while I was thinking of what to type next, and Safari went ahead and loaded "bugzilla.gnome.org" based on that being the last URL starting with "b" that I happened to have gone to. And the same thing has happened to me on earlier occasions with different web sites. In other words, it's not merely giving me a suggestion, it then proceeds as though I had accepted that suggestion. Sometimes it might happen to be right, but it's the principle of the thing.
    Needless to say, I hadn't inadvertently bumped the Enter key.
    Of course, ordinarily, Safari will just offer a list of suggestions based on my bookmarks and browsing history, maybe filling out the URL bar with the topmost suggestion (while giving me the option of overtyping it if I wish). And, of course, this happens without fail if I've just had Safari preempt me by loading a page and am trying to find out why. Like the best Heisenbugs, this "feature" goes away as soon as I make a concerted attempt to study it.
    I have completely disabled AutoFill in the Preferences dialog. I would clear the cache and history, except that I kind of resent having to do that every time (or turn on private browsing, possibly another option) just to stop the computer from executing an instruction that I haven't even finished giving it yet (and in many cases intend to change).
    Has anyone else seen or been able to disable this feature?

  • How do you stop Lightroom from automatically making adjustemnts when you are looking at the images?

    There is some kind of auto adjustment happening when I look at my images for the first time.
    Any knowledge of this, I've looked in help and can't find anything.
    Anyone know how to make it stop?
    Usually it looks pretty good, but it would be nice to simply revert if you don't like what it did.
    If you could please e-mail me, I don't really like the format of this forum, so I'm don't know when I'll be back, or where my post will be!
    Thanks!

    Jayme, what you see first is the camera produced jpg (thumbnail) which is done by the camera at the time the shot is taken even if you have set the camera to save as raw. This thumbnail jpg, which is part of the raw file, is required for you to view the image on the camera lcd screen. If it were not produced you would not be able see the image either in the camera or on your computer. Raw files are not in a viewable format until they are processed by a raw converter.
    When you import the raw files into the LR library LR will first display the camera produced thumbnail as a preview until it has been able to convert the raw data. This is done at the LR default settings. Since the LR conversion engine is different from the camera firmware it is not able to produce an exact jpg image. LR does not have the info/ technology used by the camera and uses its own proprietary procedures to produce its own conversion.
    All the camera manufacturers have their own proprietary technology for processing the raw data which is not publicly shared for competitive reasons.
    Tools are provided in LR to allow you to make your own adjustments to the raw data and create an image to your liking. Hopefully even better than what your camera is able to produce. You now have your own "darkroom" to produce your images.
    There are lots of tutorials available to bring your skils up to mark. Have fun. There is a thread in the FAQ which deals with this issue. Every raw converter has its own taste which you can adjust.

  • How do I stop Quicktime from overriding music file downloads and playing them in the browser rather then letting me download them straight to my hardrive.

    I am trying to download a mastered track from a fellow musician.
    And up untill recently this wasen't a problem...
    It seems so stupid considering the ammount of people who use Macs for musical production.
    Can someone help please?!

    Thanks Michael. Apologies for the slow reply I was away for a bit (holiday blitz at work and visiting family madness etc.etc.) back now, I set both options you requested to "never " and retried the CMS software with no change. 
    I do have progress of a sort though, as a test I took a separate test PC and put a clean install of Win7 on and loaded up the CMS software (it worked perfectly) and then took the version of ole32.dll off that machine and put it onto the computer I had built
    for her (using Linux) and...
    got a new error code. Darn I was so sure I had found a clever solution this time lol.
    Anyway now when the CMS fails it gives me a similar error but the offending module is "ntdll.dll" sooo... I tried taking the "working" version of ntdll.dll from the test box and moving it over (making sure to back up the existing ones
    first so I could put them back if needed) to her new PC and the PC would not boot. 
    It seems to want the original versions of a few Dynamic Link Libraries and if I could somehow give it those while not breaking Win7 it should theoretically work seeing as it no longer errors with ole32.dll. 
    ntdll.dll however seems necessary for Win7 to boot.
    So what I am wondering now is:
    Is there some way to have both versions of the DLL file in the system32 folder (bypassing the "cannot have two files with the exact same name in the same folder" thing) or rename the original DLL's something else and somehow make the CMS look for
    the new named versions so the system has the updated DLL's it needs to boot/run and the CMS has the old ones it wants to run or is there someway to have a self contained install of the CMS, say on a USB flash drive and give it it's own E:/windows/system32/needed
    dll's  path to the files it needs? 
    Willing to try any other options or settings you may have come up with as well.
    Thanks again for your reply and my apologies for not answering sooner.

  • How do I stop Firefox from checking add-on compatibilty every time I start the program?

    In the past 2 days, every time I start Firefox, a "What's New" tab (checking for compatibility of add-ons?) pops up in addition to my homepage tab. How can I keep the "What's New" tab from coming up? It seems like this starting happening after I updated to Firefox 6.0.
    Running Windows Vista
    Firefox 6.0

    Firefox 8 i am on and its doing the same,very annoying,ill be going back to previous version...
    do you guys at Firefox ever check your update's on any of your own computers before you release them?
    might be a good idea,its the same with kylo,updates come screw everything up when they were working fine...im am a house builder,if i built houses with this many errors i'd be bankrupt by now....

  • How do I stop iSync from attempting to sync to a phone that no longer exists?

    I recently graduated to an iPhone 4S.  I use iTunes excusively for syncing to that phone.
    My previous phone was a Sony Ericsson k850 (very similar to W850) and I was able to use iSync somewhat successfully.
    Now, whenever I do a sync through iTunes for the 4S, iSync starts up and says it can't locate the k850.
    If I go to the option and Uncheck "Enable Syncing on this computer" under iSync/Preferences/General, iTunes get all upset that synchronization has been turned off. I do not have the option to Remove the one andonly device - that choice is grayed out.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    I don't know if this helps much, but Address Book was basically the same application in a previous version of the Mac OS. Folks still seem to use the terms interchangably though. Similarly, Calendar used to be "iCal."
    I believe syncing contacts with Google or iCloud is an either/or proposition - you can't do both. When you sync with either, a copy is saved to your Mac for faster access (like a web browser's cache). I believe there's still an option to save contacts exclusively to your Mac (HD), but I don't think it's either preferred or occurs by default if you have an account such as Gmail/google or iCloud already set up.
    I've never played with preferences in Contacts (Address Book), but I do have both google and iCloud accounts associated with my Mac. Under System Preferences:Mail, Contacts & Calendars, you can specify what accounts do on your Mac. If you have multiple accounts set up, a list will appear on the left side. As you select each one, a list of check boxes appear to the right for each service you want to associate with that account. For example, I have an iCloud account for mail, calendars, contacts, and Safari (among others). I have a Gmail account for mail, although it gives me the option of using this account for calendars, etc. For Gmail, the only item I have checked is mail. It's never asked me if I wanted to sync my addresses with Google.
    I hope this helps... at least a little. If nothing else, I hope I've solved the "Address Book" mystery ;-)

  • How do i stop firefox from auto suggesting my email adress after i type the first letter

    after the first letter typed it comes up with lots of suggestions even ones i've typed by mistake and i would like to clear these

    You can very quickly eliminate the mistyped entries with the down cursor key and use of "Del" key on the selected item ("Shift+Del" on a Mac). So you would just have the ones you want. You do not need to type the first letter you can double-click within the entry box to see all items whether to use or to delete.
    That does not answer what you asked. If you only want to suppress that, I don't think that would be possible with Firefox alone, but I also would not think that you would want to suppress all autoform entry because of that.

  • How can I stop iCloud from wanting me to log in everytime I wake the phone?
