How to turn off Skype IM send/receive sounds

I have tried two ways:
First: Tools -> Options -> Notifications -> Sounds -> I unchecked everything and also clicked on "mute all sounds"
Second: I went to Converstaion -> Notification Settings -> "Do Not Notify Me"
Neither of these methods turn off that annoing beep whenever I send or receive an IM. Please help me fix this, it's driving me bonkers.
Solved!

I'm in a couple skype groups and get a sound notification every time a message is sent within the group. HELP!!!
Highlight the group name in the Contacts list so you can see the chat window for this group. Click on the Conversation menu and select Notification settings. Select there the appropriate option for the notifications. If you don’t want any notifications from this group at all, then select “Do not notify me”.

How to turn off receiving apple support communities emails

how to turn off receiving apple support communities emails on imac and ipad?

In addition ,you can go to Your Stuff - Profile- Manage Email Notifications (in the upper right hand Actions box) - either check individual threads to remove or click in the top box which will check all the threads and then click on Remove Email Notifications.
Also check the tutorial for managing email subscriptions
You might also make sure that you haven't subscribed to one of the communities by mistake.
Go to the community that you are receiving the emails from and the same box called "Actions" will appear there just like it does next to the individual question. Make sure that you are not reciveing email notifications for that community. Probably the community where you asked your question. Typically that is what causes people to get 100's of email notifications. I think that this is not included in the tutorial so a lot of people miss it.

How to turn off findmyiphone on a damaged screen

I have an iphone 4S with iOS 7.1.2. I left it on the car yesterday, it fell off in traffic. When I finally realized what happened, I was able to find it. The screen is destroyed but the rest of the phone surprisingly works. No issues with the ringer volume, data/ charge port, ringing, etc. I've submitted a warranty claim but would like to do a factory restore ("Restore iPhone") via iTunes before sending it in. I have a passcode protected phone and it apparently has findmyiphone enabled. I am at a loss here on how to turn off that feature as it's required to be off before doing a full restore. I've gone in to iCloud > Find My Iphone on my PC and removed this phone from the account.
Luckily my wife was able to use her upgrade today so I just activated my number on her old 4S. I'm now thinking this may have screwed the potential for turning the feature off on my old phone.
Gurus, please help.

Hey KG2365,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to turn off Find My iPhone but can't since the screen isn't working. I would recommend that you follow this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate this issue.
iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702

Click All Devices, then select the device.
Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased and someone else can now activate the device.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

How to turn off frame edge highlighting in CS5?

Has anyone discovered how to turn off the frame edge highlighting on rollovers. I find this feature visually distracting and quite annoying as I'm moving around a page. Send advice, please. Thx.

Chief:
Sorry we got off track and didn't post the main workaround for Frame Edge Highlighting: Keep your hand on the spacebar.
This comes from Mike Rankin in the InDesign Magazine Tip of the Week in January:
TIP: Spring-Loaded Tools to the Rescue
InDesign tries very hard to help you align objects when you drag by snapping them Do you dislike the Frame Edge Highlighting that appears when you mouse over frames in CS5? Spring-loaded tools can help. Frame edge highlighting only appears when you use one of the selection tools. With spring-loaded tools, you can press and hold single keys to temporarily switch to any other tool. As long as you hold the key for more than a second, you'll switch back to your previous tool when you release the key. You have plenty of choices (t, \, p, f, m, n, c, e, g, z, etc).
Holding the spacebar also prevents the highlighting from appearing, and it's a nice big place for your fingers to rest. Heck, you don't even have to pay much attention to where you press--just rest your hand in the middle of the keyboard and lift it up when you want to select something. But don't hold v or a, which are the shortcuts for the selection tools.
- Mike Rankin
(Mike had suggests this several times in the past year, though not with the spacebar. E.g. he recommended 'H' back in June over on
InDesignSecrets. "H" for Hate).
There have been several threads on this, including the locked 201-post monster, Frame edge highlighting, and the feature request Allow Frame Edge Highlighting to be turned off, and frame edge highlights on hover.
Basically the takeaway is that it only happens with the selection (V) and direct selection (A) tools, and that multiple people have asked Adobe for a control to turn it off, and they've finally added one, but only in CS5.5, not in a CS5 maintenance release.

[iOS 8] How to turn off vibrate notifications on new calendar invitations?

I don't want any notification when I receive a new calendar invitation via Exchange. I had no problems disabling this in iOS 7 and earlier, but with iOS 8 I can't seem to turn off the vibrate notification. In Settings...Notifications...Calendar...Invitations, I've turned off everything there. Notification Sound is set to None, and Vibration is also set to None.
Yet whenever I receive a new calendar invitation, my phone does a short vibrate. No alert shows up on the screen, just a short vibrate.
How do I silence this thing?
Using iOS 8, iPhone 5S 64GB.

Here is what finally worked for me in ios8 (8.1.2)
Settings > Notifications > Calendar > Invitations > Notification Sound > Set *both the alert tone and vibration* to None (they are separate settings.) The view from the Invitations form is a little misleading - the Notification sound will say "None" even if there is a vibration setting other than None.
Not sure when this changed but it was making me a LITTLE CRAZY.

'save in subfolder' - how to turn off by default ?

'save in subfolder' - how to turn off by default ?
Thank you for any help with this,
TB

It is really annoying when settings/features are added that just assume a specific work process - without an option to turn them off (or complicated work arounds). And even more annoying when I am asked to submit a feature request after adobe randomly changes things.
This was not a random change. The ability to render image sequences into a sub-folder was a feature request that we have received many many times over the years. Many After Effects users, myself included, sometimes forget to manually create a folder for an image sequence with the result of hundreds or thousands of files exploding into the renders folder or your desktop or wherever the render was saved to.
We answered not only this common feature request but extended the functionality to all formats by the following:
Adding the Save in Subfolder control to create a folder for any output module
Adding support for creating and using folder paths in output file name templates (which naturally interacts with the Save in Subfolder control)
Adding a new output file name template that creates a folder, which is used by default for image sequences
All of these additions were vetted by actual After Effects users before we released the After Effects CC (12.2) update.
not sure why defaults have to be changed.
Perhaps I didn't answer your original question directly: there is not a simple option to stop Save in Subfolder from being enabled when you choose an image sequence format. This would be an additional control on top of the rest of this new functionality. It's not something we thought was necessary as part of the original design of these changes, but we could be convinced to add it in the future. So if you (or anyone else) would like to see this added, please submit a feature request.
The reason why you can get the result you want by changing default output file name template is because that is how the logic works in After Effects. Choosing an image sequence format triggers the use of the Comp Folder and Name template. Changing what that template contains will apply your new rules instead.
Regardless of the template, you can always change the output file path on a case-by-case basis by simply unchecking Save in Subfolder or by choosing a different output file name template.

Turning off Skype Wifi

I am using a MAC and the MAC version of Skype. How do I completelu disable and turn off Skype Wifi?I don't EVER want to use Skype Wifi. If I can't get a connection without Skype Wifi, then I don't want a connection. How do I tell Skype to NEVER inform me of Skype Wifi and NEVER even attempt to make a Skype Wifi connection on my behalf. If I cannot remove the Skpe Wifi option then I will just uninstall and abandon Skype. I stumbled across this question on the Windows side and attempted to follow their directions, but apparently I offended them when I said that the Mac version had no ability to turn off the Skype Wifi. If the interface to Skype on Windows is so completely different than the Windows version, then Skype isn't a serious application with a team that is planning for the future. So... Is there a way to disable the Skype Wifi BS on a mac?

I've seen several posts on different threads from Mac users about this - usually sounding irritated because they have evidently inadvertantly connected to Skype WiFi when they didn't want to and lost credit. The responses from forum moderators seem often to border on rudeness and the information that, on a Mac, you simply can't turn off Skype WiFi is slow to emerge, only after scolding for being on the wrong forum etc. So far I've found no explanation as to why this option is not provided to Mac users. (Skype belongs to Microsoft doesn't it?). I can vouch that this is a real problem. I have recently been connected inadvertantly to Skype Wifi in a hotel and charged a significant chunk of credit when I thought I was connecting to the free hotel wifi. In addition the unwanted Skype wifi pop-up repeatedly stops you from connecting to the wifi you want to by knocking you off the necessary login page. I therefore believe that this is not being fixed as a deliberate policy to deceive Mac users out of Skype credit and I request a full explanation as to why this is not so if indeed that is the case.

Yoga 2 Pro -- how to turn off switching mode notifications -- e.g. "tent mode", "tablet mode", etc?

Does anyone know how to turn off the notifications that pop up in the upper right corner telling you that you have just changed from one configuration to another -- e.g. changing from tent mode to tablet mode?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just disable it -
Task manager > Startup > Click "Yoga Picks" > Click "disable"
Next time you start your computer no more annoying pop ups. If you want to be annoyed again you can always re-enable it.

I simply want to know how to turn off iCloud* without losing my contacts

Call me old fashioned, but I really do NOT want to use iCloud EXCEPT for ONE THING*: and that's to find my phone, ipad or laptop if it goes missing.
Having said that, I have figured out how to turn off icloud on my ipad and my iphone (I am not using the phone as a phone, just as a glorified ipod) while keeping the "find my ipad/iphone" function active, BUT
I can't quite figure out how to do it on my laptop.
I seem to have done it already for photos, and for the calendar, (I know this from checking iCloud to see what it's got) but just cannot figure out how to turn it off for contacts.
And YES, I've backed up all of those things at LEAST 3 different ways, I just don't want the Cloud to be one of them.
So can anyone tell me how to turn off contacts in the cloud without it also magically deleting them in my laptop? (I had it happen on the ipad, that's why I'm worried.)
Thank you for understanding-I'm older and this stuff just keeps getting more complicated and I'm a simple person. I'll back up my own stuff!

If you are refering to documents such as Pages and Numbers files....
The only way around this is to "save as" you icloud documents using the associated app to a local folder on your mac. Then turn off icloud.
Of course, when you sign off of icloud, the docs are removed from the mac, but remain in icloud. In the future when you sign back in, the documents are available to you again.
Oh, and the icloud documents are also stored locally in ...
~/Library/Mobile Documents
Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
You can move these files to another folder to save them.

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?

Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
1) Go into Settings > Store.
2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.
