How do you turn off Verizon voice mail?

I have an answering machine, I would like to turn off Verizon voice mail so that all unanswered calls go directly to my answering machine. The tech that installed my service said it was possible, but the directions he gave me led to a dead end. Does anyone know how to turn off Verizon voice mail? Is there a way to do this on-line or via the telephone (without having to contact a representative)?

Since the Verizon Voicemail will answer calls to you number when you are using your phone, a second incoming call to your number while your own answering machine is taking a message WILL BE forwarded the the Verizon Voicemail system --possibly giving you recorded messages in 2 places. Note that each increase in the ring count will add 6 seconds to the amount of time it takes to forward the call to the Verizon Voicemail system.
If you really don't what the Verizon Voicemail system which can handle multiple calls simultanteously (something you own answering machine cannot do), your only option is to phone Verizon's business office and request that they remove the Verizon Voicemail service from your line.

How do I turn off ALLnotifications for mail

I have an iPhone 5S. It is running ios7. I just added my email account today to "Mail." I cannot turn off notifications. The alert style is set to None. The Badge App Icon is slid to off. The app is in the "Do Not Include" section in Notifications. The alert type is set to "vibrate only" ONLY because there is NO OTHER OPTION! I want NOTHING! No alerts at all! No sound no vibrate no nothing.
WHY WHY WHY i there not an option for "None" on the vibration setting. You will be my hero if you can (honestly) tell me I am missing something and how to fix it. I am a very light sleeper; the vibration, even "quick" will bother me. PLEASE HELP!!!

Are you just referring to while you are sleeping? You can use the Do Not Disturb function that will only let phone calls through from favorites if that is what you are worried about.
Or, for what you are talking about, when you go to Settings>Sounds>New Mail>one selection is for Vibration. Click on that and then scroll down to the bottom and None is a choice.

How do I turn off autocorrect in Mail?

In Mail, I would like to turn off autocorrect, which makes me say many ridiculous things! How do I do that? I've looked and looked and can't figure it out. Thanks!

Hello there Centime,
It sounds like you are wanting to turn off the spelling correction feature in the Mail application. You should be able to do that with these steps from the following article:
OS X Yosemite: Check spelling and grammar
For a specific app: In the app, choose Edit > Spelling and Grammar > Correct Spelling Automatically (it’s off when a checkmark isn’t shown).
For all apps: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Keyboard, click Text, then deselect the “Correct spelling automatically” checkbox.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

How can I turn off the New Mail alert on my iPod Touch?

I have an iPod Touch (version 6.1.3). The other day I was waiting for an important e-mail, so I turned on the New Mail alert. It worked fine. Now I want to turn it off, but I can't. I went into Settings and then to Sounds and changed the selection from the sound I'd selected ("Bell") to None. It says "None" but every time I get a new e-mail, it still makes the bell sound.
I also tried going into Notifications and then to New Mail Sound and setting it to "None" but that didn't change anything
Any ideas what I'm missing?
Thanks!

Try removing the mail totally from your notifications center.
I have everything turned off and the banner set to none.

How do you turn off autocorrect in Mail?

Mail in 10.7 autocorrects everything. When I type Macintosh HD, it changes it to Macintosh HAD. I change it back to what I want, it insists on correcting me. There's no way to turn it off--all the options in system preferences and Mail preferences that claim to control this option don't work. If I were the responsible manager at Apple, I would fire whoever came up with that misfeature immediately if not sooner.

Harry,
Have you checked Language & Text?

How can I turn off auto saving mail contacts

When I begin to type an email, if I have sent one to someone with a similar address it comes up, despite the address not being one of my contacts. How do I stop this? For example, if I replied to a Craig's ad, and then go to send an email that starts with the same letter all those come up. I don't want them saved which is why they aren't in contacts.

Well if you wiped your devices - they will go away but that is a pretty drastic measure to take in order to remove those addresses. I don't know if they will come back if you restore from a backup - but obviously if you restore as new they will be gone. If you do restore - try the backup first - you can always restore as new later if it doesn't work.
Frankly - I just keep reading that the remembered addresses eventually go away - but like you - I have seen no evidence of that happening on my iPad - after 16 months of using it.
But - IMO - and it's only my opinion - wiping the devices is only a very short term fix because the mail app will start remembering addresses again. That's is just the way the mail app works - and you be right back where you started.

How do I turn off sound for mail notifications?

Just got my first iPhone (I know, welcome to the 21st Century). I've had Android before this. I have it synced to my work e-mail, but I don't want a sound playing every time I get a work e-mail, because then my phone annoyingly chirps all day at work, when I already get an alert on my computer for the new mail. I only want to be able, when away from the office, to do a quick check and see that I have a new e-mail.
In Sound, I selected "None" for New Mail, both for the Alert Tone and the Vibration. In Notification Center, "Mail" shows up in the "Do Not Include" list. Yet still, my iPhone plays a tone every single time a new e-mail comes in. What am I doing wrong?

Settings > Notification Center > Mail > Select the mail account (if more than one) > Alert Sound > None

How to turn off threaded sms on iPhone 4?

Hi all
I get lost in the way iPhone stores the sms messages. I cannot find back to both incoming and outgoing messages since they are not stored in one linear time sequence. The same functionality was also (by default)?) on the e-mails but happily that could be disabled. If it is impossible to turn off threaded sms I quite frankly must buy another phone.
Hope someone out there has discovered how to disable the threaded sms functionality.
Cheers

This is not an option on the iPhone.

How do I turn off MAIL application as DEFAULT ?

Can anyone suggest how I can TURN OFF the MAIL application from opening as an automatic default whenever I click on "contact us" on a web page, so that MAIL does NOT automatically open ? I prefer nothing to open automatically ! If anything I'd like a dialog box asking me what application I want to use.
WHY ? Because I have great problems with MAIL, after a disastrous failed installation (and removal) of Safari 4 in 2009. Since then Safari works fine but I never use MAIL as when I do it crashes my whole system every time so I ignore it totally. However, when a web site's link "more info" triggers MAIL to open, I am lead down the merry and frustrating (!!!) path of having to recover from a crash. I'd like to avoid this once and for ever. Any ideas ?
THANKS !

Niel, That's exactly what I want to do: change or turn off the default email client so MAIL (apple's mail program) does not open by default. But I can't find a way of doing that, certainly not in "system preferences". I used spotlight to find "RCDefaultApp" and nothing exists by that name, or RC Default et al...

In Safari 5.0.6 how do I turn off the auto save to contact list of addresses I send mail to?t

How do I turn off the auto saving to my contact list of every e-mail address I send a note to?

It might help knowing that Apple uses the term "Versions" instead of AutoSave. I have not yet found how to turn it off, but in the meantime, here's how to delete "Previous Versions":
Do one of the following:
If you have unsaved changes in a document, choose File > Revert To, and then click Previous Save.
Hold the pointer to the right of the document title, click the downward-facing arrow, and then choose Browse All Versions from the pop-up menu.
Click a gray tick mark along the timeline on the right to display various versions of your document.
Do one of the following:
To restore your document to the state of a particular version, display that version, and then click Restore.
To delete the displayed older version, hold the pointer to the right of its title, click the downward-facing arrow, and then choose Delete This Version. To delete all older versions, press the Option key while holding the pointer to the right of the older version’s title, click the arrow, and then choose Delete Old Versions.
To create a new untitled document that duplicates a particular version, display the version, press the Option key, and then click “Restore a Copy.”
To leave your document in its current state, click Done.

How can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?

how can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?
This is really driving me nuts.....
Thanks

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click General.
Open the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
2. Select “Require password...NEVER after sleep or screen saver begins.” You can adjust the amount of delay before a password is required in the pop-up menu.
From what I am aware, you cannot turn off the keychain.
I hope this helps.

How Can I Turn OFF Junk Mail Filter for IMAP Accounts Only?

I am trying to figure out how to turn off the Junk Mail filtering for IMAP accounts such as .Mac/.ME and GMAIL. All filtering is working fine on the server side, and reviewing the mail that is tagged is easy enough by just going to the account and displaying the folders created on the server.
I've checked the Junk mail pref and although the Advance settings let you isolate specific accounts to check, it does not give you the option bypass checking an account.
i.e.
if <Any> of the following conditions are met:
<Account> <is not> <Gmail (IMAP)>
As is, the mail rules are working perfectly on the server side, but in Apple Mail, many mails are being sent the Apple Mail's Junk folder.
When going through the Gmail's instructions on setting up a Gmail account for Apple Mail, it specifically says to turn off Junk mail filtering for the account, but I can't find any options to do that.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

I haven't tried this, but it should work:
Make a new rule,
If <Any> <Account> is <Gmail> or <Account> is <.me> then "Stop evaluating rules".
Move this rule to the last in the list of rules.
In the Junk Mail preferences, be sure that "Filter junk mail before applying my rules" is unchecked.
