Is there a way to disable push mail from Yahoo? It's draining my battery

I'm on the prepaid plan and every 10-15 minutes my iphone turns on with a "The last transaction cost $0.00" message. I don't mind the message (although it is a bit annoying) but my problem is that this turns the LCD on for about 2 minutes at a time.
I charged my battery to 100% last night, haven't used it at all today and after just turning it on a few minutes ago I had the "Your battery life is at 10%" message followed by a 5% remaining message a few minutes later.
I've heard that it's the yahoo push mail service thats causing the phone to give the message (since it connects to the internet). My Yahoo account is my main one and I'd hate to have to login to yahoo's site each time to check it (the email functionality was a big selling point for me with the iphone). ATT/Apple don't seem to want to disable this message/"Feature", so I'm guessing I would need to step in and do something on my end.
Is there any way to disable yahoo mail from "pushing" messages to my phone? I can hit the Check Mail button if I have to.

Hi Everyone,
To give an update on the situation: I disabled the Yahoo account and it seems to make a VERY NOTICEABLE difference in battery life - prior to this my battery would drain quite rapidly but since disabling it it's only lost about 15-20% over the past 24 hours (and thats with using the video/music/internet functions for about an hour and a half).. Prior to this it would have been close to drained under the same circumstances.
Also, to confirm, the "Your last transaction cost 0.00" messages only appear when accessing the internet manually now. before they appeared every 10-15 minutes with no interaction from myself at all (while it was sitting idle, while watching videos, while charging, while in my pocket, etc..)
I do have it set to only check Manually but Yahoo would seem to check on it's own even though this setting is checked (I'm guessing it has to do with the Push setting). Aside from draining the battery, it was quite annoying having 30 or so "Your transaction cost $0.00" messages to click through whenever I turned on the phone.
I did have the screen set to shut off after 1 min, but the 'your transaction cost..' messages would first wake the iphone up, the screen would stay bright for about 30 seconds, dim for about 30 seconds, then turn on bright again for 1 minute until it shut off. I'm guessing the screen (being on for about 10-15 minutes per hour due to this) and the fact that yahoo accesses the internet on such a frequent basis are what cut the battery life down.
I really wish I could make Yahoo work more like Gmail and have it manually search for new mail

Is there a way to recover deleted mail from my iPad and recover deleted messages from my onw iPhone?

Is there a way to recover deleted mails sent from iPad and/or recover deleted messages from my iPhone?
A software or even open it? It is very important for me get back the messages sent on December. I did not have a back up at that time, at least that I know, but I change my iPhone and had as I got a micro chip, I could take my contacts from iTunes.
Does it means a back up was done at the Note book I used that time or the messages are lost?
And my mails? From my server, I can recover only from 5 last days!
Thank you for any help!!

Thanks for replying - no, I had not done a backup since the shots were taken and then attemped to put them in an album as I did not want to change the enviornment of the phone from when I had inadvertently delted them. Unfortunatlely, when asked "Do you want to delete these photos from all locations," I hit yes and they were also deleted from my Photostream.

HT5019 Is there a way to disable the toolbar from preventing windows being dragged to external monitors configured above it?

My preferred display arrangement is to have 2 external monitors (extended display) above my macbook pro screen. While it is possible to configure this in my display preferences, the toolbar on my desktop prevents me from dragging anything to the external monitors. Is there a way to disable whatever the toolbar is doing to cause this?

I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

Accessing Outlook Mail Which Receives Push Mail From Yahoo

I have Outlook 2007 on a PC that I use for work. I do not use an exchange server. Rather, I receive my mail from Yahoo via push to Outlook 2007 on my PC. I have my iPhone set up using Yahoo. After I read my mail and delete the messages on my iPhone, I find that when I connect to my PC to sync, all the emails I deleted on my iPhone appear again on it. I can only assume that they are being brought back because the iPhone is getting them from Outlook 2007. I need to keep the emails on my PC in Outlook 2007 for future reference, but not on the iPhone. Is there any way I can still keep syncing my contacts and calendar with Outllook 2007 but keep the deleted email from appearing on my iPhone again?
Thank you!

Turning off SSL will help for incoming mail, but it will disable your ability to send email. At least, that is what happened to my sbcglobal.net account. SSL is required for outgoing mail. And for incoming mail, when I turned SSL off, I got a nasty email from AT&T that not using SSL was a big no-no. I have scoured the forums and all of the online sources I could find, and there does not appear to be a good fix. Has anyone called Apple Tech Support or AT&T about this issue? I assume that people have, and that Apple and AT&T have not provided a viable solution. Hopefully there will be a fix in a future update to Leopard. 10.5.2 didn't seem to fix the problem.

Is there a way to automatically move mail from one folder to another?

Is there a way to periodically, automatically, move mail from one folder to another?
For example, I'd like to move mail from one of my IMAP/Archives folders to my MyMac/Archive folder and I'd like this to happen without intervention.
Can this be done?

I'll try to be more specific.
When I'm done with an email, I archive it.
Because I have multiple email accounts, this results in emails in multiple Archive folders (one per account).
I'd like to have these automatically all moved into one (on my Mac).

Is there a way to disable track pad from moving faders?

The track pad is great for mousing around, zooming in, zooming out.
It's not great for making destructive mix commands.
Actually ******* horrible for it.
Any way to work around this without like, buying an external mouse?

Is there a way to watch news videos from Yahoo?

Hi,
I would like to watch the news videos that Yahoo posts, but when I try the window for the videos opens up but the video I've requested doesn't play. Is there a way to do that?
Patrick

I contacted Yahoo technical support some time ago about the same issue. The response was short and sweet. The Yahoo video player only works with Windows and they have no plans to support the Mac platform in this matter. I am able to view the small videos on the my.yahoo.com personalized page because they are Flash Player based.
For whatever reason Yahoo appears to be particularly hostile to any platform other than Windows. I'm an SBC/Yahoo subscriber but I rarely use any of the Yahoo stuff because it doesn't work or only just sort-of works on my Mac.

Is there a way to disable itunes control from the album art work screensaver?

i like the screen saver, but more often i endup playing some random track when i try to get out of the screensaver state.

You can change that setting 'globally' for all the Fkeys in System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard tab, check the box to Use F1, F2 etc. keys as standard function keys. However, that will apply to all the printed-on-keys control functions (display brightness, volume, etc.), not to specific Fkeys.

Why now in or new iMac there is a folder for bulk mail from yahoo? What it's "bulk mail"

How to erase yahoo bulk mail folder and why you need one?

I talked to my service provider and he told me this:
When the apple mail program sets up automatically it does so with imap and not pop 3. In doing so it creates that bulk mail add on.
I don't know why but I think it is an Apple issue.
I simply just don't use the apple mail program and downloaded thunderbird instead.
Maybe someone who has apple support can contact therm and find out what is going on.

Is there any way to disable the lock screen with out the screen staying on?

I know there is away to disable the pass lock but is there a way to disable the screen from locking every time the screen goes off? cause it's so much easier to just press the answer button than to slide it to unlock. phone versions iPhone 4s and iPhone 5c.

You're confusing a direct answer with a rude one. Wjosten's reply wasn't rude. It was accurate and direct, without any sugercoating. You can't get the device to operate the way that you want (lock the screen, but not really 'lock' the screen). It's not a 'screensaver' like on your computer. It's a lock screen, designed to prevent accidental activation of the device screen, and possibly launching apps, making phone calls, etcetera.
If you want an option added that allows the device to do what you want, tell Apple.

This is a technical assistance forum, not an 'emotional assistance' forum. Wjosten was not rude or insulting in any way. You were.
This is where we tell you how to solve your technical issues. There are no shoulders to cry upon here.
Direct, accurate information. That's what wjosten provided.

Is there a way to block the hotspot from the actual phone

My stepdaughter has an iphone 5C. We are on a family share plan. I just checked her data and it's showing she has used 8.2G of data. When I asked her about it, she stated her mom has been using her hotspot . I called ATT to see what could be done and they said my only options are: put her on an individual plan that does not include hot spot access, or pay for smart limits. Is there any way to disable the hotspot from both the kid and her mom?
FRUSTRATED!!
Thanks!

You can install the plugin [https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/1865/ Adblock Plus] and then block the image (Right click > ''Adblock Plus: Block image...)''

Auto correct is making me look like an idiot. I have to go back and psychically spell check my documents now. Is there any way to disable it?

Auto correct on my desktop Mac is making me look like an idiot. After I type it's changing words into other words I never typed and it even pushes words together that I'd typed a space in between in order to create new words that I never typed which make absolutley no sense.
Now after I type a document I have to go back and psychically spell check my entire document the old fashioned way to make sure auto-correct isn't making me look like a clown who can't spell.
Is there any way to disable "auto correct" on the desktop MAC and still keep spell check running?
The amount of messages I've sent out with horribly misspselled words or errrors as a result is maddening.
HELP!!!
Running OSX 10.9.1

I had turned off auto-correct in the keyboard preferences, but in Mail all my spelling and grammer choices were grayed out. The key for me — as Kingoftypos points out — was "For Mail, open a new message/reply/forward. Then go to the Edit menu and scroll down to the Spelling/Grammar."
It would never have occurred to me to open a new message to be able to change the settings.
Thanks, King

Is there a way to disable automatic bluetooth switching?

im sure the topic title is a little confusing. so let me elaborate. i have this jvc bluetooth device that has a 3.5 input to basically make your device comout of the speaker or media center that is connected to the bluetooth device. i can either connect the 3.5 cable to my itouch, or the bluetooth device. when connected to the device directly, the sound quality suffers since its bluetooth. but you can also control the music by connecting the 3.5 to the itouch directly and crol the music with the device. the problem is that everytime i push the button to pause or skip, he ipod things im using the bluetooth device and goes back into bluetooth mode everytime i press a button. is there a way to disable this auto switch. the ipod thinks it knows better, by thinking i want to use bluetooth sound, and keeps switching the source everytime i skip a song. then i have to use that little source switcher on the bottom right corner to switch it back.

No way that I know of

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjus

Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.
