ICal: cannot turn off holiday notifications!

hi Folks,
my iCal keeps giving me these annoying holiday notifications, for every holiday in Canada,
even for provinces I'm not located in.  This not only clutters up the calendars, but I manually
have to close all these popups when they appear on my screen.
I have turned off "holiday notifications" both in iCal pref's and in the 2 gmail accounts they
are synchronized with.
any idea why I am still getting these?
thanks for any feedback..
Gary

  • Cannot turn of Facebook notifications

    After a quick search it seems that I am having the opposite problem from some other posters. I cannot turn off Facebook notifications.
    I've went to system prefs / internet accounts and disabled the Facebook account by setting it to inactive, which didn't work, so I went back into system prefs/ internet accounts and deleted the Facebook account entirely, so that Facebook no longer shows up at all in hte left hand collumn of the system preferences pane.
    No matter, not even 5 minutes after I did this a Facebook notofication banner popped up on my screen, letting me know that someone had direct messaged me.
    *Note - When I slide open the notification drawer on the left hand side of my screen there are no entires for Facebook, but I still receive the banners on my screen.
    This is super distracting when I am trying to work. I'd prefer not to disable notification center entirely because some notifications are relevant while I work.
    Any thoughts would be most welcome.
    Thanks - 

    I found out the hard way, that you need to go into Messaging>Preferences>Accounts>
    and look for: [email protected]
    uncheck: Enable this account
    it is on by default when you establish Facebook in the OS. And the messaging in the new MacOS has all of your
    messgaing by default, and it looks like Facebook uses Jabber to send all that data to the Notifications program via Messages
    Now I am free of all that annoying updates.
    NOTE: this will only work after you folliw James's instructions above.
    Hope that this helps.

  • 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 to turn off Facebook Notification Sounds?

    I just discovered that I cannot turn off Sounds for Facebook integration in Notification Centre on Mountain Lion.
    All the other services I use - Photo Stream, Messages, Reminders, etc. - have three options to check off. "Show in Notification Centre," "Badge app icon," and "Play sound when receiving notifications." I have the third option unchecked for all services, but Facebook does not even display this option. Yet, in the sidebar, I can see that "Badges, Sounds, Banners" are enabled under Facebook.
    Why does Facebook appear to offer more restricted integration options?

    Have you looked in the settings and notifications and turned it off there?

  • Please help! I cannot turn off IPOD due to blocking message

    Please help, dear Ipod Experts and better Ipod Users,
    I cannot turn off the Ipod (when I click to the bottom ) anymore as following message appears:
    "FireWire connections are not supported to transfer songs, connect to the USB cable provided"
    Even resetting the Ipod the message appears again and again and I dont have the slightest idea what the IPOD is trying to tell me. I have regularly uploaded the songs via Itunes with the USB cable (Nothing else) and I use the official I-Fusion Sonic Impact to hear the songs in loud. Can there be the connection, because I remember that this message started appearing when the IPOD was connected to the I-Fusion.
    In order to turn the IPOD I have to leave it on till it turns off due to battery deload...Very sad solution, isnt it?
    Thanks so much for answers for a real desperate Ipod Fan
    RAFAEL

    It sounds like you have reached the authorization limit of 5 computers.  So if you need to authorize another one, either deauthorize any other computers have authorized in the past that you still have physical access to or use the Deauthorize All option as described in this article.

  • Cannot turn off passcode after ios8 upgrade - iPad mini

    Upgraded iPad mini to ios8 and cannot turn off the passcode.  In settings, I can turn it off but it tells me that I need to set a passcode within 60 minutes.  It then counts down and requires me to set a passcode once 60 minutes are up.  Also does not let me change duration of passcode (from immediately to 4 hours for example).  Any thoughts on how to turn it off?  Thanks.

    is this your iPad or one administered by someone else...for example if I use an iPad from work our IT policy dictates that I must use a passcode and I am not allowed to turn it off.
    If it's yours, just a shot in the dark, do you have restrictions enabled? If so, go in and disable them then see if that will allow you to turn off the passcode lock.

    Hey ktillis88,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the following resource may be helpful:
    iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
    "Backups for appname cannot be turned off at this time."
    This message occurs if disabling Backup for an app on your iOS device does not complete successfully. Wait a few minutes and then attempt to disable Backup for the app again. If you continue to receive this alert, contact iCloud Support for assistance.

  • HT3576 HOW Do I TURN OFF PUSH NOTIFICATIONS THRU ITUNES

    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 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 .

  • Why do i keep hearing a notification tone when I turned off all notifications and also put my macbook on do not disturb?

    First I was hearing a notification tone intermitantly when an email came in; it was never consistent and only started after I'd had my macbook for about 7 weeks. Today, I found the way to turn off all notifications and put the computer on permanent do not disturb in system preferences.  Now I'm getting the tone sort of at random.  Can anybody tell me what is going on?  I have a 2014 macbook pro 15".

    Yes.  Reset network settings. Head to Settings -> General -> Reset and tap Reset Network Settings.

  • 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.
