    Hi there Zorro1960,
    You should be able to prevent your messages from going to your computer, by removing your phone number from iMessages and turning off Text Message Forwarding using these instructions. They are about turning on these features but you should turn them off instead:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Turning off text messaging

    How do I turn off text messaging to my Comcast phone number? The xfinity app, in Text Settings, subscriptions options, teases you to think you can do it, but all it does is confirm that text messaging is active. This looks like a bug.  I have wasted far too much time navigating the web site(s) and from my mobile devices via the app, account settings, etc, etc. Very frustrating. 

    Comcast/XFINITY,I agree.  As a customer I would like the opportunity to turn off this feature.  I don't use it and it perpetuates the notion that someone is communicating with me (passively?) when they are in fact not.  It is generally accepted and well known that mobile phones are text capable and we use them accordingly.  Text capability on a land line is not needed.  It provides yet one more communication channel that I am forced(?) to check--because Comcast is imposing their will on me.  I need fewer and more efficient communication tools. . .not more.

    How can I send a text message from my desktop computer using Firefox ?

    There are many free web-to-phone text services, such as http://textem.net/
    If you intend to do a lot of this, it may be best to have some IM services that can communicate with cellphones (I use AIM).

  • Unity - How do I turn off voicemail message "your mailbox is almost full"?

    We recently set a mailbox limit on our exchange server. Some users are over the limit until they deuce their mailbox size. When they check their messages via the 7940 "messages" button, they get the message "Your mailbox is almost full?etc" before it will playback their messages. Once they get their mailbox under 90% of the limit the messages will go away. My question is how do I turn off the message? I realize the message is a "good thing", but even if it's a system (all off) setting, please post. I did find how keep outside users that are calling in from hearing that they can't leave a message because the person they're trying to contact has a full mailbox, so that's not what I'm looking for. I?m just trying to find out how to keep the user with the new limit from hearing that every time.
    We are running Unity 4.2(1)

    You can disable this in the registry. This is not a Cisco documented or recommended option. I have done it for customers who were really adament about the notifications.
    Here are the steps to do on your Unity server. Again I want to stress I'm not sure if this is Cisco supported but it's a simple change that requires no reboot.
    1. Backup your windows registry
    2. Open regedit
    3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Active Voice\MalEx\1.0
    4. Open the REG_DWORD DisableStatusCheck
    5. Change the value from 0 to 1
    This should take effect right away. This is a universal system all off for the Unity server only. Exchange is not effected.

    Thanks

  • How do I turn off text auto-formatting in Keynote?

    How do I turn off text auto-formatting in Keynote?

    You may uncheck some preferences in the Pages > Preferences menu item.
    You may also define your own custom default template.
    But you certainly are aware of that because it's described in the PDF User Guide delivered with every copy of iWork.

  • Is there a way to turn off text messaging while you listen to songs/videos?

    I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to temporarily turn off text messaging while you are listening to a song or video? I find it very annoying that if I let someone listen to the videos on my phone - that while they are doing that and a text comes in - it shows up right on the phone for them to read it. This did not play out too well when my girlfriend was listening to it yesterday.(keep all smart comments to a minimum please, lol). Can you turn off texting while you listen and then turn it back on when you finish? Please say yes... Thanks

    Nathan, thanks for that info....I appreciate that. That makes a lot of sense (what you said about airplane mode) and seems to be a good feature. I had been told a couple of times by airline personnel to please turn off my phone.
    This seems to be the answer I was looking for. I just hope that it will still play in my car. I was finally able to find a Belkin Cable to connect it to to hear music. I have an auxillary port for it. That is where & when the trouble lies. When I am listening to the ipod portion - watching a video - and hearing the music come from my speakers in the car. All of a sudden, a text comes through and you can read it & it asks where you want to 'view' or 'ignore'. I'm gonna test it...

    If you had iOS 7 BETA installed, just go to developer.apple.com and log in using your developer account.  (The BETA recently went past it's valid until date.)  There are discussions about this issue.  Otherwise...  for non-developers, I'm afraid you're on your on.  Use Google.

    I no longer have my iPhone 4s so how can i turn off i-messages for my number?

    Hey there fwhitson,
    It sounds like you no longer have your phone but need to unlink your phone number from the iMessages service. According to this article, this is what you do:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
