How do I turn off OS notifications in upper right corner

How do I turn off the little banner notifications for system updates, it's driving me insane, it pops out every five minutes. In Notifications in System Preferences there is nothing there for the OS, only various specific applications. Thank you.

If you want an "in-between" option to baltwo's excellent suggestion, go to the System Preferences > Notifications, click on each entry, and UNcheck everything, similar to mine here, after moving (dragging) every entry from the "IN" category to the "Not In" category:
This does not eliminate the menu icon; it just pretty much disables it, but you can drag an entry back in or leave one in just in case you want to be notified.

    How do I turn off push notifications when using words with friends on my iphone. It tells me to go thru itunes. Where do I do this??

    1. Provide your iOS version
    2. Define: "using words with friends."  Are you referring to text messages or a specific 3rd party app?  In any case, this is not controlled by iTunes.
    Settings > Notification Center > select app you're using (Messages??) > select what type of notifications you do and don't want.

  • How do we turn off the notification clicks? I set "Notifications" to "Silent" in the "Sound" settings.

    How do we turn off the notification clicks in the Galaxy S5? I already set Notifications to Silent in the Sound settings.

    Go into settings > sounds > volume >  slide both system and notifications volume  full left. This will lower the sound output to zero. 
    System notifications are a pop-pop sound made whenever a key pad entry is made or a new command or change is made to the system itself.  B33 .tikibar1   But you will not have any notification sounds at all if you do this.

  • How do I turn off Safari Notifications?

    Can someone please help me!? Ive been working on downloading Adobe creative suite, and everytime it tries to download Acrobat XI it says that I need to close Safari Notificati even after I have set the settings to not disturb. Anyone know how to make my life easier?

    Hi, if you open go to utilities and open activity monitor you can then search the items, double click on Safari Notifications, this will cause a pop-up window to come-up. Click force quite to turn off Safari Notifications. You can now download Apps from Adobe.
    Hope this helps.
    I also found two lines of code that will turn on and off notifications. If you do not want screen notification to run go to Utilities > Terminal> and input code:
    launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist
    To turn on again code:
    launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist
    Cannot take the credit for the code etc. Found it by searching.

  • How do I turn off the notification in Backup Assistant Plus Media?

    If you turn on "schedule backup", there is nowhere to select the time of the backup. Setting the time of "Recurring Sync" in Backup Assistant + Contacts has no affect on the time of the backup in Backup Assistant Plus Media. Invariably it runs it a 3 am and then sounds the default notification sound. I can't find any way to stop it except to set the default notification sound to "silent". There are some notifications that I want to hear, so this is not a good solution. Does anyone know how to turn off the notification sound?

        timsak,
    Great question! We don't want these notfications keeping anybody up late at night and I personally know how what feels; we'll get to the bottom of it. You can access your Backup assistant plus profile on our website and ajust settings there http://vz.to/1mOFxfz and from your phone, adjust the Sound Settings and Backup Assistant Plus Settings by launching your System Settings. If problems persist, please reset the application from your phone http://vz.to/18HfhrM .

  • How do I turn off App Notifications

    Hi,  I was wanting to know how I would go about turning off App Notifications. I'm going abroad and I know that using data roaming can quickly mount up but one tip given is to disable your App notifications of updates/posts. For example my email App gives me frequent updates so I'd like to turn off App automatic updating until I chose to access it.  How would I go about doing that? 

    Better to restrict background usage of mobile data:- Go to Settings -> Data Usage -> tap on the triple dots on the top right corner of the screen -> Choose "Restrict background data" This will prevent any app from using mobile data unless you open it and ask for updates.

  • How do I turn off spoken notifications?

    I keep getting annoying notifications like "skype needs your attention" when it's just opening and "your battery is low, plug in your computer" that are spoken and really distracting. HOW CAN I TURN THIS OFF? I know it's not voiceover- I already tried that.

    If System Preferences > Accessibility > Enable VoiceOver is "Off", which is what I think you are saying, then ...
    Check System Preferences > Dictation & Speech > Text to Speech (tab) > Announce when alerts are displayed ...
    make sure it is not checked.

  • How Can I Turn Off Calendar Notifications

    We have a receptionist who schedules a meeting on the Executive's Calendar, then invites other employees. The Executive does not want to receive any notifications of any kind about appointments made on the calendar. Is there some way to turn all notifications
    off for them?

    It'll work, but it will turn off all reminders - if he wants to set reminders on tasks or flag email, those reminders won't work. It would probably be better to turn off default appointment reminders in File, Options, Calendar so they aren't added.

  • How can i turn off gamecentre notification?

    Every time i try to open a game i keep getting all these game centre achievement notifications?
    I know from other threads people have said signout of game centre. I believe i have done this, and also turned off notifications but it still appears every time i open the game (Rugby nation 13)
    Please help!

    There's no way to disable that. Just don't turn off WiFi. Leaving it on when you're not connected to a WiFi network doesn't use that much power and, well, it helps improve the accuracy of your location services.
