HT1766 How can you disable imessage on an iphone you traded in for a galaxy s4 to get your messages from people

I recently purchase a galaxy s4 which i love.   Only drawback is it seems i don't get messages from people with iphones.  Any solution to this problem?

  • How can I disable iMessage notifications on iPhone while using Messages beta on Mac?

    Hi all! I'm very excited about the new Messages app on my Mac, which allows iMessage between Macs and i devices! Just downloaded it right now and it's excellent! However, I notice a possible flaw in which whenever I receive a message from someone, it will notify me on both my Mac AND my iPhone! As you might imagine, it's pretty annoying given iMessages are flying through on my Mac. I was wondering if anyone knows how to stop iPhone notifications when messaging on Mac. I hope this feature will be added in ASAP from Apple if it doesn't exist yet! Thanks in advance!

    You would have to turn it off on the phone. Read receipts as referenced above is not related to your question at all.
    I don't find it to be too irritating, but I don't message frequenly enough for it to get all that annoying.

  • How can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air?

    how can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air? i dont know my imessages to pop up on my laptop when it turns on. But i dont want to disable imessage totally on my macbook.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First of all, check that Messages is closed when you turn off your MacBook. This is so important because, by default, OS X will reopen all opened apps the next time you start your Mac.
    Apart from that, when you go to  > Shut Down, or  > Restart, in the window you see to restart or turn off your MacBook, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in". This will avoid that your Mac opens all opened apps the next time you start the MacBook, so Messages won't start automatically at startup

  • How can I DISABLE the pop up 'Would you like to copy it to Library', preventing this message from bothering for each and every book, again and again, time after time? (Windows 7 64bit US).

    I guess this may be a feature request. Adobe may think this is a good message for every new eBook.
    I sure would like to decide about that myself.
    Thanks in advance if this will be changed.

    Decided to setup the mail for exchange on my N8 so I could see my work emails. Worked like a charm but after a couple of hours decided I didn't like being that contactable so deleted the mailbox.
    Now to the problem, during setup I was forced to enable the phone lock and had to pick a 7 digit alphanumeric code. Fair enough I thought and went ahead. When I removed the mailbox however the lock remained in place with the default auto time of 30 minutes. When I checked in Phone management there is no option to disable this lock so I thought I could at least change the default time to something bigger but when you try, it remains at 30 mins. You also can't disable the auto time as it pops up an error message saying can't unlock phone.
    Does anyone know if I'm missing something obvious here or is this something which can't be disabled once it's switched on? I've done a soft reset back to factory settings with no luck and the only other thing I can think of is re installing the firmware which seems a bit extreme.
    Would like to hope there is some way to have control over this. Can someone help?
    Which firmware your N8 having now? You can check firmware by choosing Call, then type *#0000#.
    My N8 works fine on security setting and able to define Phone auto lock period, by choosing Menu>Settings>Phone>Phone management>Security settings>Phone and SIM card>Phone auto lock period>User defined>Lock after(minutes)
    You will prompt to enter Lock code each time u define auto lock priod or enable/disable auto lock.
    Hope this can help you.

  • How can I disable iMessages history?

    How can i disable iMesage history? Under the settings for iMessages on OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion, I don't see any options to disable this. The only thing close to that is already unchecked: Save history when conversations are closed.

    Hi,
    Messages still uses the com.apple.ichat.plist (and the other ones that had iChat in them for the accounts)
    The two new ones for iMessages (com.apple.imservice.imessages.plist and com.apple.imessage.bag.plist) only hold the server info on one and the Apple ID and the Aliases you use with it in the other.
    I have not discovered anything in any of the .plists that deal with how the "history' is saved (other than whether Chats are Saved on Closure).
    In previous versions of iChat there have been hints at MacOSXHints that do various things such as this one that changes the order of the Info when Selecting iTunes Playing as th Status Message

    To use it in Messages you have to change the iChatAgent bits to IMAgent.
    I did search their site for 10.8 and Messages but found nothing that related to doing anything with the Saving or History of chats and conversations.
    I don't work for Apple.
    My "knowledge" is centered around iChat and Messages, which I have been posting about since 2004.

  • How can I disable itunes on my iphone 4s?  I don't use it for music and need to prevent it from automatically activating when I plug in to my vehicle.

    How do I disable itunes on my iphone 4s?  I don't use the phone for music, and I need to prevent it from automaically playing music when I plug the phone into my vehicle.  I have attempted to delete all music from the device (so there would be nothing to play), but 1 song remains in the iphone memory and I have been unable to delete that song.

    iTunes app on the iPhone is for purchasing music.
    The fact the iPhone starts playing when connected to your car stereo is a function of your car bluetooth system.
    Consult your car dealer/bluetooth system manual.

    Connect the iPhone to computer and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Music tab and uncheck Sync music.
    Then click Apply at lower right of iTunes.

  • How can I disable iMessages from archiving messages and attachments?

    I noticed while browsing ~/Library\Messages/ that iMessages has been archiving my messages (Archive folder) and saving attachments (in a separate Attachment folder). Under the settings for iMessages on OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion, I don't see any options to disable this. The only thing close to that is already unchecked: Save history when conversations are closed.
    Any ideas why iMessages is saving all this information? How do I disable it? My concern is that it's going to keep accumulating data overtime. I don't want to keep having to go back in there and delete those two folders constantly.

    Hi,
    This somewhat date back to the way iChat's Saved Chats were once Stored.
    At iChat 5 (in Snow Leopard) you could choose to see the last chat - (when opening an new chat with a person you had chatted with before) or parts of the Last Chat in terms of the Last so many IMs.
    Example Pic of iChat 5's Prefs
    Since then the management choices of the Save Chats has changed in both iChat 6 and Messages.
    Messages stores Chats two ways if they are iMessages.
    You can elect to Save them in Messages > Preferences > Messages.
    It also store the chat.db and other databases items which includes the Attachment items
    The chat.db is the bit that fill in the "history" if you iMessage the same person even if you are not saving the Chat in a formal sense in the App's Preferences.
    This is irrespective if your delete the Conversation from the Messages main window.
    How big these Databases get obviously depends on your iMessages usage.
    Striker's link seems to be about a similar issue on an iPhone (I presume it transfers to other iOS devices) but I am not sure that it is relevant in this situation.
    Edit.
    I should have been clear that you cannot change the database behaviour.

  • How can I disable iMessage for some of my contacts?

    I have unlimited text, but limited data on my iPhone 5s. I only want to receive/send iMessages to a select few on my contacts list who have iPads and then use SMS for my iPhone friends. I tried disabling my phone number as a receive/sender, but it only lets me disable my email. How can I make it so I don't have to turn off iMessage to send SMS messages to other iPhone users? It's very problematic. I end up receiving all my messages from those with iPhones on iMessage when I turn it back on, which defeats the purpose of me sending an SMS message to them in the first place. If I disable iMessages completely it keeps me from being able to communicate with my iPad using pals. I can't win either way.

    I've seen this type of question asked before, but I couldn't find anything recent that really helped me.

  • How can I disable iMessage but only for one contact ?

    Hi,
    I'd like to send texts to my friend who owns an iPhone, but not on iMessage.
    (That friend owns an iPhone, but can't connect on 3G. So she gets my texts only when she can connect on wi-fi...)

    Your friend would have to disable iMessage. As far as your phone is concerned, since you have connected with her via iMessage, it will always try that.

  • How can I disable imessage?

    I'm a long time iphone user but I recenlty switched to Android.  I'm not able to receive messages from many iphones because Apple still has me registered for imessage.  Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can have this changed?
    Thanks for any advice.

    Put the SIM back in your old iPhone. Go to Settings>Messages. Turn iMessage off. If the phone is no longer available, delete it from your support profile by logging into your Apple ID account here. It may take up to 45 days for iMessage to stop trying to send messages to your device if you can't turn it off on the phone any more.
