Turn off Messages -- When Messages is Closed

I recently installed Yosemite.  Now even when I have Messages closed (quit -- not just the window closed) I get message alerts popping up on my screen.  I have this off when I need to WORK and not be disturbed.  I want an application to not bother me when it's off.  I don't want notifications off ALL the time.  Just when Messages is closed.

"Today" view refers to when you click the notifications icon (top right), there is a "today" and "notifications" view at the top of the notification centre.  If you don't see this, you're not running Yosemite.

    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.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How do I turn off messages on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite?

    How do I turn off messages on my iMac after upgrading to Yosemite?

    Hi,
    Open the Messages app.
    Go to the Preferences item in the app's Menu.
    Select the account pane in the Preferences.
    Each active account should have a tick in the Enable this Account box.
    This can be unticked.
    This will stop accounts logging in but will not stop the app Launching in certain circumstances.
    First of all check the app is Quit before shutting down the computer.
    The fact the app is open even if all windows are hidden can cause the app to restart when you Start up the computer.
    Messages is a  Multiple window app and using the red button on the top left of a window only closes that window and does not Quit the app.
    Also check the System Preferences > Users and Groups > your account > Login Items tab.
    This will list items that are set to Start up when the computer does.
    I have a couple of External Drive on other computers, some Anti Virus software and the common iTunes Helper plus an old version of TextExpander that will work if I launch the Preference Pane this way.

  • How can I turn off messages on iPad while students are at school

    Is there any great way to turn off messages on the ipad without shutting down the ports required to connect to Apple on the firewall? Kids will be kids but teachers are pressing administration for solution. If you shut off messages, I may be mistaken but you can't restrict the kid from turning it back on correct?

    If you own/control the iPads that run iOS 6, you can turn off Messages via Apple Configurator or an MDM solution and the students would, to the best of my knowledge, not be able to turn that back on without knowing the Restrictions passcode. For personally owned iPads, the only way to block Messages would be to block the ports at your router. Messages uses port 5222, so if you block that port, that should block the transmission of messages, though the students will still try. For more information on ports, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4245
    Of course if the student has a cell connection on a personally-owned device, there won't be any way you can block the sending of messages at all.
    Regards.

  • How can I turn off messages for certain Action Center items?

    I'd like to find a way to turn off messages for Windows Update, Network Firewall and Windows Backup. Ideally I'd like to do it with Group Policy however I can't find a policy for this. We're deploying Windows 7 right now and we'll need a solution that's domain-wide.Orange County District Attorney

  • TS1717 While downloading the latest iTunes version, my computer turned off. When I opened iTunes, it says that "The file "iTunes Library.itl"  cannot be read  because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" Help please :(

    While downloading the latest iTunes version, my computer turned off. When I opened iTunes, it says that "The file "iTunes Library.itl"  cannot be read  because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" Help please

    That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • How to turn off alarms when iCal is not running

    iCal-Version 4.0.4 (1395)
    Imagine giving a lecture supported by powerpoint in front of an audience, all applications turned off except of powerpoint, and suddenly popping up the iCal alarm message "meet her (xy) in the pub". How can I turn off alarms when iCal is NOT running?
    cheers
    knatterton

    Hey!  I was DJ'ing and an iCal alarm went off even though I'd selected to have alarms not go off when iCal is not running.  Now that option isn't there anymore!  Can I revert to the previous version of iCal?  I don;t see any other new features that are worth not having interruptions during DJ'ing and presentations!  I know that if I turn off all alarms, I will forget.  I'd create an alarm to remind me to turn it back on, but...  This is REALLY annoying.

  • How do i turn off talkback when the screen is locked?

    How Do I Turn Off Talkback When The Screen Is In Locked Mode? It Will Not Allow Me To Get To The Accessibility Icon.....

    Hi
    I’d be happy to help you disable talkback on your Moto E! If you have inadvertently enabled Talkback, you can quickly pause it, and then go back to disable this feature.
    Anywhere on the screen, swipe down then right in a single motion, as if you were drawing an “L”.
    Note: This should work whether the phone is on the lock screen or unlocked.
    You will then see 2 options in the top corners of the screen, select “Pause Feedback”.
    When the Suspend Talkback message appears, double tap “OK”.
    You can now normally go into Settings > Accessibility and disable talkback.
    I hope this helps!

  • T410 laptop turns off abruptly when running any application

    Hi,
    T410 laptop turns off abruptly when running any application. I contacted the technical support, first they suggested me to run some diagnostics for hard disk which failed and so they sent me a new hard disk. Even then I faced the same problem. Again I contacted them and they told that they will change the system board. Today I received the laptop with new system board/updated BIOS.
    But still I am facing the same problem. I called the technical support again, they told me to use the latop in two modes ( 1. only battery and 2. only ac adapter) and check whether its happening again or ont. In both the cases I am seeing the same problem.  
    Laptop is only 5 months old and bought for  $1400........

    Hi and welcome to the forum!
    Tell us something more about your system, like installed memory size, processor speed, graphics card make and size, HDD size and so forth. Because yours is CTO model hence it's not possible to figure out these things without your telling us about them.
    I'm not very expert but I would say it's probably the RAM since system board and HDD have already been replaced or possibly you have got a lemon. But try following suggestions first.
    Do you get any sort of error message or Bluescreen? does Event Viewer report something unusual? Event Viewer can be opened by typing it's name in the search field in Windows 7. If you get Bluecreen you can view it via this program:- http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html and let us know what it says.
    Also, make a bootable CD of mem86 and run the test on your RAM, mem86 can be downloaded free from:- http://www.memtest86.com/
    Lastly, you can burn LiveCD of any Linux distro and boot from it, if applications work fine in Linux environment then probably it's some software problem your thinkpad is having, re-imaging the system to factory state would be great initiative in that case.
    Keep us posted!

  • Turn off alarms when Ical not running! Bring it back

    It seems that the option to turn off alarms when Ical not running has been removed. The only option now is to simply turn alarms off (then you forget to turn it back on!). i am a professional speaker and when an alarm rings when I'm using Keynote it knocks keynote off the screen. That is a real pain when you are speaking to 1000 people! Anyone got any ideas. And Apple, please bring it back.

    I sure hope the developers at Apple as well as the management team who can make product impacting decisions are reading this thread - do they realize that this makes the *alarm function unusable by professionals* who do presentations? I was in front of a small group doing a powerpoint tonight and the alarm went off in the middle of it - not a good thing.
    So, I will choose to turn them off completely at this point - it is the only option. And I am not going to manually turn them on and off - that's a ridiculous prospect.
    I can only guess at the reason for removing the earlier functionality of turning off the alarms when the application was closed, but this is absolutely a requirement if alarms are to be functional at all for those of us who do presentations.

    I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
    Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
    Thank you in advance.

    Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
    Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
    When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

I don't understand why it's asking me to do this on my iPhone but didn't ask on my iMac or MacBook and is there a way around creating another @me.com email address?

    Try a reset:
    - hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at tyne same time
    - release both buttons when apple logo appears
    Does the issue occur when plugged into charge?
    If issue remains try a restore in recovery mode:
