Is there a way to block unsolicited calls and messages in iPhone5?

Hello to all. Guess my title to this post is enough for me to get an answer from learned members of this august forum! Thanks inadvance!

Thanks Rojmer for joining this thread. Your answer seems to be an attractive solution to the problem I am facing but I am a novice in these matters and would love some clarifications:

Every time I get one of these calls I immediately add the number to one of the contacts in my contacts app under the name Telemarketing 1, Telemarketing 2, etc. I have about eight numbers in each contact item.
I was just about to ask you how you could squeeze in 8 numbers in each contact, but proceeded to check it out myself and learnt that you can put in more than even 10 numbers under each contact! I guess that I can put in many more numbers too!
My next question is related to how you could create a silent ringtone?
[Then I created a silent ringtone with one of the ringtone creators in the AppStore (iTunes also sell them) and assigned the silent ringtone to those contacts items. ]
Could you walk me through this process? FYI, I have found this free app and have downloaded it onto my iMac:
How can I create a 'silent' audio file to drop it into the required space provided?
Eagerly waiting for your reply.

Is there any way to block someone on Yahoo! IM?

I keep getting spam from people on Yahoo! Instant Messenger. The only solutions I can find on Google involve downloading the official Y!IM client and using that to block the person (add to the ignore list).
Is there any way to block someone within the messages app?

Hi,
You can in the Yahoo for Mac app (This has been in Beta for literally years)
It seems that the iChat and Messages Beta Yahoo part is a sort of Bolt-On (it is actually a Plug-in) that does Text Chatting only and not much else (it can go Invisible)
It seems it lacks some other functions that the Yahoo for Mac App has such as blocking people.

Hi tangra,
Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions!
As what plepleple posted, this feature is not supported by the phone. We also checked that no application can be downloaded that has this feature.

Is there a way for this community, to make a suggestion to Apple to include blocking a specific contact number calls and messages just as other phones provide that feature for their users.

No phone provides true call blocking. At best, they provide call diversion. Essentially, the call is answered and disconnected automatically. If I recall, Apple is adding call diversion features in iOS 7.
Best of luck.

Harassing Calls...Is there a way to block?

I have the ANI of the caller.
I am currently running CUCM 7.15. The caller is calling late at night and absolutely filling up our general voice mail box with racists and other hateful language (every night).
I know the blocking statements to make on our Cube, but I am afraid she is coming in via one of our 800 numbers which would be on a PRI. (We have several of these gateways).
Can the inbound number be blocked in the Call Manager? And if so, how?
Thanks!
TB

I do not believe there is a way to block incoming calls in 7.1.5. If your gateways are H.323 then you can certainly block calls based on incoming number that way. You would have to create the following -
voice translation-rule 100
rule 1 reject /8675309/ **insert actual number**
voice translation-profile call_block
translate calling 100
add the following to your incoming dial peer -
call_block translation-profile incoming call_block
Thanks,
Tony

Is there any way to block calls from "blocked number"

I would like to be able to block calls from numbers that show up in my caller ID as "Blocked". I dont really care who they are I want them to share their number or I dont' want them to call. Is there anyway to do this? I am not talking about the restricted numbers just the ones that people have chosen to block. They can all do the *## and unblock their number when they call my phone if they really want me to answer it!

Nothing annoys me more than receiving a blocked call, barnmother! The good news is that we have an option to prevent these calls from reaching your phone. Usage Controls will allow you to block unwanted calls and much more.

Is There a Way to Block an Individual Cookie in Safari 4.0.4

Is there a way to block an individual cookie on Safari 4.0.4? I blocked in on Firefox but I can't seem to find a similar function on Safari. I delete from Safari it but Facebook keeps reinstalling it. Thanks!

As for automatic deletion of cookies: no, Safari does not do that. This means in practise that you have to click on Show Cookies and manually delete those you do not want retained. You obviously want to keep the ones for regularly visited sites (like Apple) to speed up log-in etc.
I have Cookie Preferences set to 'Accept cookies only for sites I visit', but I only wish to retain cookies for the sites i regularly visit, like these forums and others.
To that end I use a small app called SafariCookies:
http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/
which only works on Leopard (which is what we both have). This adds an item in Safari Preferences whereby you can automatically delete all cookies on shutdown, except those particular 'favourite' ones you wish to retain to avoid entering your user name and password each time you visit.
So, if you don't mark Facebook as a 'favourite', their cookies will be deleted on shut-down.

Is there a way of blocking websites on a ipod touch

wierd websites keep apearing on my safari pade i keep going back to the history folder to try and block them bt its no use.
is there a way to block pages on safari if know PLEASE TELL ME NOW!!!!!

Ok, just stop and think about the question for a minute.
The iPod is powered OFF and he wants to know if there is a way to turn the iPod ON "remotely" which implies he cannot physically push the On/Off switch to the ON position.
Because the iPod must be powered ON for it to be connected to a wireless network, your answer makes no sense at all.
Therefore the answer to the question is NO.

Is there a way to block invitation notifications?

My company uses Google calendar. I have a personal calendar, and then everyone has access to the companywide calendar as well. This allows us to see every meeting happening in the company. When we create new events, we create them in the companywide calendar and invite ourselves as a participant.
The issue is that when I add my account to Calendar in Yosemite, both of my accounts show up. I also receive an invitation and notification every time someone adds an event to the companywide calendar, rather than just my personal calendar. I have "ignore alerts" set up for the companywide calendar, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Is there a way to block notifications from just the companywide calendar?

Mmm i THINK that ignore only applies to behaviour within ical so you don't get a '5 mins' alert for example that has been set on the item by the person adding it. . -is the invitation notification showing from your email(where you get the window come up in the top right of your screen) -you can control who you get mail notifications from in your email. i have mine just set to VIPS and VIP anyone i need to see notifications from(you don't want the ones from yourself i guess)-you can turn off those completely in the notification centre for email. Not sure if that is exactly what your issue is.

Device experiences issues, locks up.
I need to do a reset.
How would I do that with a pass code lock in place?
Wait until the battery dies?
Apple's changes in iOS 7 are smarter.
"Losing your iOS device feels lousy. Thankfully, Find My iPhone can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new security features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it. Which means your device is still your device. No matter where it is."

Is there any way to block accessing Exchange server

Hello,
We are using iPhone as a business phone to
access Exchange server using ActiveSync.
Is there any way to block non-company, in
other words private iPhone, iPhone to access
Exchange Server?
Some users have 2 iPhones (1 provided by our
company, 1 purchased by himself/herself as
a his/her private phone).
We would like to block those non-company iPhone.
If there is a way(s), please let me know!!
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Tak

Block/Delete will appear if "Enforce Password on Device" is NOT ticked in ESM at the time when that particular iPhone (or other smartphone) was first joined to EAS.
Wipe/Delete will appear if "Enforce Password on Device" IS TICKED in ESM at the time when that particular iPhone (or other smartphone) was first joined to EAS.
The only difference is, if you first have "Enforce..." ticked and you join phones A,B,C, - they will always have WIPE next to that phone even if X months down the line, you untick "Enfore...".
If at that point (after unticking "Enforce..") you join phones D,E,F, they will have BLOCK next to their phone and always will have until you tick the "Enforce..." again and the user will be prompted to input a code when they next sync.
Again I repeat, the 'Lock code' when inputted into the phone acts as an agreement between the user & exchange that exchange has permission to wipe the phone remotely. Without that agreement ("Enforce..."), you should not have the WIPE function on those particular phones.
Hope that makes sense.
