'iPhone Messages' icon appearing in the Dock

I experienced this with Yosemite as well.  Don't remember what level it is resolved, but things were fine until I upgraded to El Capitan.  The 'Message' icon won't stop appearing on the left side of the bar on my Dock.  I did the following on the advice found in searches:

-Open iMessage and disabled my account (this is what all our mobile devices are connected using)

-Open system preferences... Notifications, click on "Messages" on the left pane, select 'None' and unchecked all boxes to 5 check

-restarted

Inevitably, as soon as a member of the family gets a text, the "Messages of the iPhone" sticker reappears.  It's ridiculous, and it's maddening.

I hope someone has a solution...

Thank you

Hmm, this is interesting because it is usually an enabled icon who lives not in the Dock will appear on the right side (before the divvider).

And you clicked the control icon > remove the dock and he comes back?

  • System preferences icon has replaced the dock

    Hi all

    I have a strange behavior with the dock in macOS Sierra, especially with the "System Preferences" icon After you open the system preferences application, the icon was his suddenly replaced by another icon (see image below). It looks like a Doc App icon?

    I tried to remove the 'System Preferences' app to the dock and put new in. It's OK for a while, but something after a few hours or days, the icon has been replaced by the "Doc App" icon again? !!

    Is there anyone who has this strange behavior?

    Thank you

  • Recent Places icon appearing on the desktop when ever I go to recent locations in the Favorites

    When ever I go to recent locations in the Favorites page to clean my memory this recent locations icon appears on the desktop WITHOUT option to right click and delete OR drag it to the trash

    I found a tutorial on the web that provides a way to remove the icon
    1.right - click recent locations in the field of Favorites tab in Explorer.
    2. click on "send to", and then select Desktop
    This will automatically replace the existing icon and replace it with a DESKTOP SHORTCUT
    3. simply delete the shortcut
     
    But this issue should be fixed in next update, or maybe it is set in point 8.1 of Windows because it's REALLY BORING to this procedure whenever you clear recent locations

    Thank you very much! To solve my problem... As you have said, I hope there will be an update so that we do not have to constantly...

    Much appreciated, Cheers

  • iPhone messages do not display the coordinates on the lockscreen

    Ive had this problem fo has for a long time now and not been able to find a solution.

    When I receive a message of some people, the phone does not display the contact information for the message, I just get the number. Its a slightly annoying bug.

    Ive tried the backup phone, wiping and then restore from the backup, but the problem still the problem occurs.

    I tried wiping the phone and from scratch, synchronization with icloud for all my contact information, etc.

    He worked and solved the problem, except that now I don't have one of my old text messages (what I really want to keep as there's several years of conversations evidence it.)

    I found a free software called iBackupbot which allows you to restore a backup file messages and copy them to another and you can then restore your phone to this new modified backup.

    It worked. I now have my restored messages (except the attachments are missing, but I can live with that).

    However, I now have a new problem, when I receive a new message that they are appearing in my list of message completely out of use and not at the top of the list of messages. There seems to be no logic to it, they just pop up as if they were a few months old even if theyre unread.

    I'd really like to find a solution to this problem. I have an Iphone 6 and all the latest software update.

    Thank you

    When you view the sidebar in photos move your mouse up to where it says import and stationary just to the right, you will see hopefully not the word 'Show' that if you click on should reveal your phone.

  • How can I get rid of the practice (news this morning) of messages that appear at the bottom of the Inbox message list when I don't want to see them?

    Until this morning, I could the cursor up and down on my list of the Inbox for messages I wanted to open (or delete without opening). Now, each message darn, the cursor stops on - or sometimes even just past above - appears below the line at the bottom of the list of messages. This means that I can't see so many messages listed at the same time as I could yesterday.
    I can get rid of the line (and the message that open automatically below) only by moving the cursor down on the line. I don't want to do that with every message that I make a break on or exceed. If I want to open a message, I'll open - it is not so difficult.
    I imagine that some people wanted this feature or that it would not have been installed. All I want is to be able to turn it off.
    Thanks for any help.

    Re; I guess that some people wanted this feature or that it would not have been installed. All I want is to be able to turn it off.

    There is no such feature added, because it would be ridiculous to implement.
    The problem you are experiencing is not a problem with Thunderbird.
    It is likely to be your mouse, mouse pad or keyboard.

    Emails do not open without a statement to open. That statement comes from the mouse, mouse pad, keyboard, then this is where to look.

    Either you're inadvertently clicking or your settings are too sensitive or maybe something is stuck, your mouse/keyboard mat is recording your action and act on it.
    Action comes from the mouse or carpets to mouse or keyboard and the computer includes an action is required and performs this action in Thunderbird.

    Determine if what you are doing when it occurs, what method to use and check the settings.

    I would go in your computer control settings to get for example: mouse pads
    and check the settings for sensitivity.

    If you use a mouse pad, it's too easy to press slightly harder and move cursor is interpreted as a left click. Check the sensitivity settings.
    Maybe your keyboard should be cleaned as keys become sticky.
    If you use a mouse, then make sure that your hands are not inadvertently pressing the buttons, the checksensitivity settings or maybe the mouse begins to fail, if not too sentive.
