Turning off Messaging from my mac...

I no longer have my phone to turn it off.  And my phone isn't listed for me to unregister it?

Did you replace your iPhone with some other kind of phone? If your phone number is no longer connected to an active iPhone, you can't use it to message from your Mac.

  • Turn off messages from imac

    I just downloaded the OS Mavericks onto my iMac.  Now all of my imessages on my iphone are also showing up on my iMac.  i do not want this.  My son may accidently see adult conversations.  How do I turn this off on my imac?

    Hi,
    As Frank Says you can disable the iPhone Number in the iMessages settings on the Mac.
    You can remove the Apple ID from the iPhone.
    If you want a deeper reset than that so that the iPhone Number does not even show on the Mac's iMessages settings you can do this:-
    Access ~/Library/Preferences.
    Find the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist file.
    Drag it to the Trash then restart Messages.
    You will have to re-add the Apple ID.
    At this point if you have not removed the Apple ID on the iPhone (or other device) then you will have to Refuse/Dismiss the pop ups that tell you what the iPhone is using.
    You will receive periodic prompts on this from now on unless you remove the Apple ID from the iPhone.
    If you want totally private messages on the iPhone you will need to use it with Number only.

  • 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.

  • I have taken off/turned off iCloud on my mac mini but when I write an email   and use contacts it will convert a non iCloud email to and iCloud email automatically.  I really don't want this. Any way to stop this automatic conversion?

    I have taken off/turned off iCloud on my mac mini (OS 10.8) but when I send an email and use contacts , it will convert the non - iCloud email to an iCloud email automatically.  Anyway to stop this automatic conversation?    

    Robert...
    the iCloud webserver wont accept my password for a .mac login, nor will it allow me to change it
    See if you can change your password >  Apple - My Apple ID
    If that doesn't help, launch iTunes on your computer.
    From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
    Click OK.
    Restart your computer.
    If that that doesn't help...
    Moreover, when I try to go into my .mac account on the web,
    Delete all apple cookies and empty your browser cache.
    See if  you can access your account at iCloud.com

  • 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.

  • How can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?

    how can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?
    This is really driving me nuts.....
    Thanks

    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click General. 
    Open the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
    2.     Select “Require password...NEVER after sleep or screen saver begins.”  You can adjust the amount of delay before a password is required in the pop-up menu.
    From what I am aware, you cannot turn off the keychain.
    I hope this helps.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

    For most applications you can enable the application frame. Look under the Windows menu.

  • My IMac  version 10.6.8 with Intel core duo beeps and turns off unexpectedly in both Mac and Windows mode. How do I fix this?

    My IMac turns off unexpectedly in both Mac & Windows mode.  I've repaired disc and permissions using the Snow Leopard install disk and cleared the cache without help.  Any ideas how to prevent this?

    The HAT test detected no problems.  Perhaps one of the peripherals, e.g., the backup disk, is causing the problem.  I'll try to run the MAC without peripherals for a few days and see what happens, unless you have other suggestions.
    Thanks
