How do I suppress the messages single window?

I hate it with a passion. I only want individual windows.

Hi,
I must admit it is a long time since I tried hiding the Main window.
I seem to recall that as you say new chat invites brings the main window back into view.
Even if it does not you miss  those new Chats as they only appear in the main window even if it is hidden.
(It might the case that between Messages 7 in Mountain Lion and Messages 8 in Yosemite that the action has changed slightly)

    Topic area: Apple Mail.  Question:  How do I get the message preview window to display to the right of my list of email messages? i.e. to preview whatever message is currently highlighted in the center window list of messages?

    At present there is no preference option available to move the preview
    pane to right side of the mail window.

  • How do I disable the messages setup window at startup?

    Everytime I start my Macbook and launch Safari, a window pops up asking me to set up messages with my email accounts.  I do not want to use this feature.  How do I disable this window?

    Hi,
    In System Preferences > iCloud or Internet accounts  disable the Messages tick box for that email.
    I am presuming at least one is an Apple ID that can be used with AIM  (All Apple IDs issued by Apple - @Mac.com and iCloud linked @me.com and @icloud.com) as they are also Valid AIM Screen Names from and agreement that is now over 10 years old.
    Google Mail IDs can become valid GoogleTalk IDs is Talk is enabled at Google's accounts settings web page.
    Facebook IDs can be connected to Facebook Chat IDs if you enable Chat at Facebook.
    Both run Jabber servers and can be used in Messages.
    Safari will list some of these in File Menu > Share which may be effected by the above settings (I use Firefox rather than Safari)

  • How do I suppress the I/O window?

    Hi everyone,
    I am sending a lot of small data packets via USB and everytime LabView reads or writes something, the I/O windows pops up. This is annoying me, is there any way to turn it off?
    Regards,
    Pedro
    Solved!

    Hey everyone,
    thanks for your efforts so far. Sadly, it did not help. Through customize window appearance, I can only change the VI itself, which already is set to being closeable.
    I attached a screenshot of this I/O-window and am almost certainly sure that is has something to do with that DLL I am invoking, since nobody of you has experienced similar occurences.
    Regards,
    Pedro
    EDIT: The device is a HID in developement, can't say more about that, since it is not on the market yet, sorry. The DLL is a HID api, with a wrapper made by a colleague of mine.

  • How can one suppress the "about:privatebrowsing" window?

    Every time I run firefox (always from the command line; I don't
    run any GUI like Gnome or KDE), Firefox opens a window called
    "about:privatebrowsing" in addition to the window I asked for.
    How can I eliminate this window so that it never comes up without
    recompiling the whole program?

    What is the value of the pref browser.privatebrowsing.dont_prompt_on_enter on the about:config page?
    You can open about: pages via the location bar like you open a website.

  • Why does Firefox open with both my Homepage and the 'Welcome to Firefox' tab, and how can I suppress the 'Welcome to Firefox' page?

    When Firefox loads, both my Homepage and the 'Welcome to Firefox' pages open. How do I suppress the 'Welcome to Firefox' page/tab?

    Hi Sean,
    Try this:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    It's a bit more "technical" than most people want, but it should work.

  • How do I suppress error messages from displaying in GPIB calls?

    I use GPIB Read and GPIB Write to access instruments on the bus. Both vi's supply status on error out.
    I sometimes call these routines in situations where I do NOT want to reap error status, so I leave the error out terminal unconnected.
    Here's the problem: I get error popups that display the GPIB errors (when there are some)  even though I don't connect the error out terminals to simple error or general error.
    How can I suppress the error messages??? I do NOT want them to display...
    As always, thanks in advance for the assist!!!

    PROBLEM SOLVED.
    Thanks gentlemen. But... now I have to defend myself!
    1. I have both old non-488.2 and newer 488.2 instruments on the same bus. When I send *IDN? to the old instruments, they generate errors. When I send model-specific (non 488.2) commands to the newer stuff, they sometimes error. I have to 'search' the bus and identify specific instruments (by mfg/model) that I'm looking for; I don't know what address they're at. So I go thru a loop (the index is the GPIB address) and for each address I try the old-style probe; if it fails, the new style; if neither succeeds, no one is home at that address. The problem is that in cases where I try the wrong probe for the device first, it frequent gets 'trapped' in the input buffer of that device causing it to incorrectly respond to its correct probe when I finally get to it. So I have to clear the device before sending it the probe to make sure its listening. Can't use *CLR since many devices don't recognize it; and since I can't send a command (yet) because the device is screwed up. So.... I figured out what I have to do to get the devices listening. The NEAT-3xx controllers are happy *after* they receive a null command with a LF (EOS) character - but they generate errors while processing the digital enema just described. The HP spectrum analyzers I use work fine when they get *IDN?, but generate an error on the bus when they receive the probe designed to get the NEAT controller to respond. So what I do is always send an EOS character first to each address before each probe - and then issue a GPIB read. I ignore the errors generated, and the data returned. Then when I probe, I always get a good response (if the probe type matches the device!) instead of an artifact from the garbage the instrument had to listen to. It's like drinking a beer after your wife calls you and nags - it clears your head and makes you ready to move forward. So now you know why sometimes I wanna ignore errors, but thanks for asking.
    2. Why don't I use VISA? Well, find me a VISA driver for the NEAT-3xx family of controllers, and I will... I use raw GPIB reads/writes (and nothing else) in my 'scan the bus and probe each address' loop described above. I use raw GPIB commands for the NEAT controllers, and VISA for the HP. You guys designed this stuff, not me... What I don't know (and what you might help me with) is whether there's a 'raw' interface that allows you to talk to instruments using VISA calls when there is NOT a VISA driver for the device... kinda like "I wanna use the GPIB read/write, but use the VISA interface so all my code looks the same" deal...
    Thanks again!

  • How do I clear the message usage under settings to open ip more space on my phone?  Clearing the actual messages will not work.

    How do I clear the messages in order to free up storage space?  Just clearing the actual messages will not work!!!

    It doesn't sound like the Exchange environment is configured in a manner to support these types of clients very well.  Have your Exchange team look at the following
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2013/10/18/supporting-windows-mail-8-1-in-your-organization.aspx
    From the latter article: "Communications applications can connect to a corporate Exchange service
    configured to require certificate-based authentication. User authentication certificates can be provisioned to Windows 8.1 devices by administrators or end-users can browse to certificate and install to user certificate storage."
    You might want to:
    Ask your Exchange team the public URLs (ExternalURL) for Exchange OWA & ActiveSync
    Open the OWA URL in your Internet Explorer from your Surface
    If you get a Certificate warning, open the certificate and select Install (NOTE: You may have to install the entire certificate chain).  Your desktop support team should be able to support this because it is the SAME process for standard Windows 8x
    desktops.
    Confirm that you can open OWA on your surface with no more certificate or security warnings.  NOTE: The Exchange team will have to configured OWA properly.
    Once confirmed, repeat the same steps for the activesync URL that they provided.
    When done, try using the OWA OR ActiveSync URL value in your settings of your Mail client.
    Good Luck

  • How do I stop the message "user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2 times in a row when i try to get mail from other accounts? thank you in advance

    How do I stop the message "Cannot get mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2-4 times consecutively every time I choose MAIL on my iPhone 4,  7.1.1  I have to select "OK" 2-4 times each time before I can read other email accounts.  I used to have an "@me.com" account which I think was automatically changed to an "@icloud.com account."  I opened a new iCloud.com account yesterday because I could not figure out how to get in the old ones.  I want to delete the original @me & original iCloud account.  When I try to delete the account, they tell me my DOB is wrong. I just want those pop ups to stop.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Suzanne,
    It sounds like you’re running into a password issue with an older Apple ID that’s setup on your iPhone, which is preventing you from removing an iCloud account from your device. Take a look at the article linked below, it outlines all of the possible ways to change an Apple ID password.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    After you enter your Apple ID, there are three ways you can change your password:
    Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
    Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
    Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
    So long,
    -Jason

    Verifying that any iCloud account that may be signed in is signed out should resolve this error.
