Turn Off New Message Pop up?

Is there any way to turn off the new message pop up? I dont want new private messages popping up on my desktop for anyone passing by to read? Is there a setting for this anywhere?
Thanks!

Hi,
Welcome to the    Discussions
By default any Chat type invite will open an Invite window
This has to be accepted to read the content in the case of a Text chat.
In the iChat > Preferences > Alerts section you can set the AppleScript option to Auto Decline on text Chats before you leave your computer.
It may be as simple as turning Off any Auto Accept item that you have set.

  • Have option to turn off text message pop up window.

    I would like to see the IPhone enhanced to allow the option to turn the text message pop up window on or off.
    There are times when I don't want my text message to pop up for privacy reasons; such as if someone else is using my phone or I have my phone out and people sitting nearby and can read the message. Since the ring tone is so poor on the phone, when I am out I have to put my phone on the table so I can hear it ring.
    With the text message pop up window turned off, I would still like to hear the alert sound (separate feature) and have the number display by SMS box as it currently does.
    This is a very important privacy issue and I appreciate Apple's consideration on this very important enhancement. I called Apple Customer Support and they told me to post my request here for consideration.

    Tell Apple. We are iphone users like you.

  • Turning off new message indicator AND the new message count

    Greetings,
    Is it possible to turn off both the new message indicator (red asterix) and the new message count?
    I would like no message indicators to appear on my blackberry home screen.
    Thanks ever so much for your help.

    I guess I didn't read close enough.  I don't think you can turn off the red asterisk.  It's going to show up on the icon no matter what. 
    As for the text messages, I'm not sure the setting for not showing message count indicator applies for text messges.  In fact, if you have OS 5, it most likely doesn't as sms is handled much differently.   
    You can turn off sounds and the red led in Profiles (or Sounds in OS 5)
    You're basically wanting to disabl everything the phone was designed to do.

  • Turn off "New Message" icon

    Hi
    Blackberry's great for working my emails but how do I stop it telling me I have new mail?
    - I have successfully turned all the sounds/vibrations/LEDs to off
    - And I have stopped it telling me how many new emails I have
    - But how do I turn off the little envelope that appears at the top of the screen telling me I have new mail?
    (I'd prefer to only know when there is new mail when I actually go into my messages, not all the time!)
    I've looked through the forums and found someone else with the same problem a couple of years ago but no solution...
    Can anyone help?
    thanks!

    You can't turn off the yellow  envelope at the top of the screen.

  • Can't turn off new message sound in 31.3.0: prefs checkbox has no effect

    After installing this update I was surprised to hear an alert sound on each arrival of a new mail message. The related checkbox (General::Play a sound) has no effect; I get the sound whether the box is checked or unchecked. After changing the setting quitting and restarting the app has no effect.
    Mac OS 10.9.5

    As some have noticed and posted other issues, [[https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1038464]], [[https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1038142]] , this relates to the Notification.
    The notification is behind the sound and is controlled by System Preferences --> Notifications --> Thunderbird --> "Play sound for notifications". Tick that off and that's it.

  • While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen.

    While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen. It has plenty battery and I was wondering if it is an issue of using too much of the iPhones RAM or not. I have no other apps open besides Messages. I am getting kind of worried as it started around two weeks ago and it has gotten increasingly frequent.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Unity - How do I turn off voicemail message "your mailbox is almost full"?

    We recently set a mailbox limit on our exchange server. Some users are over the limit until they deuce their mailbox size. When they check their messages via the 7940 "messages" button, they get the message "Your mailbox is almost full?etc" before it will playback their messages. Once they get their mailbox under 90% of the limit the messages will go away. My question is how do I turn off the message? I realize the message is a "good thing", but even if it's a system (all off) setting, please post. I did find how keep outside users that are calling in from hearing that they can't leave a message because the person they're trying to contact has a full mailbox, so that's not what I'm looking for. I?m just trying to find out how to keep the user with the new limit from hearing that every time.
    We are running Unity 4.2(1)

    You can disable this in the registry. This is not a Cisco documented or recommended option. I have done it for customers who were really adament about the notifications.
    Here are the steps to do on your Unity server. Again I want to stress I'm not sure if this is Cisco supported but it's a simple change that requires no reboot.
    1. Backup your windows registry
    2. Open regedit
    3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Active Voice\MalEx\1.0
    4. Open the REG_DWORD DisableStatusCheck
    5. Change the value from 0 to 1
    This should take effect right away. This is a universal system all off for the Unity server only. Exchange is not effected.
    Please rate any helpful posts
    Thanks

  • How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

    Howdy,
    I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
    See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference.  Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.

  • Is there a way for my MMS message phone numbers not seen by whole group even after turning off group messaging?

    I send messages to a group of people but they are all able to see each other's phone numbers and they can't tell who is sending the message because on their iphone all the numbers appear and I have turned off group messaging.  Is ther a way to prevent that from happening? 

    I am simply lookig for some help not an argument.  I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts.  I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another.  As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP.  This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
    I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue.  I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion.  In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues.  I am able to browse the internet as much as I want.  I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
    In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems?  Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best?  BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
    In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time.  Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. --  Thanks

  • How Do I turn off Text message on my MacBook Air

    My MacBook Air, my husband's Macbook Pro, and my Iphone4 are all linked and therefore my husband sees all my text. The problem is an educator I may be discussing something confidential, therefore how do I unlink his mac from my iphone. We do share the same Apple account...

    Hi there Zorro1960,
    You should be able to prevent your messages from going to your computer, by removing your phone number from iMessages and turning off Text Message Forwarding using these instructions. They are about turning on these features but you should turn them off instead:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling
