I use iMessage on my mac a lot. I find it annoying that sometimes my iphone also "dings/vibrates" when I am using iMessage on my mac. Is there any easy way to make my iphone not ding when iMessage is running on my mac?

In theory it's supposed to suppress them on the device not being used. Does on mine

What I've found on mine is that if iMessage is the foreground application it will suppress the iphone alert. If it's in the background and if I don't bring it to the foreground when a new message comes in my iPhone will ding/vibrate a few seconds later. It's really annoying.
FWIW, Facebook messenger does the same thing. If I don't ACK the message in the browser, my phone will alert a few seconds later.
What I want is if I'm logged into my mac and my screensaver is not running, don't alert on my phone.
Anyone use either the USB or Thunderbolt ethernet adapters?
They both have pretty terrible reviews...
I have the Apple Thunderbolt ethernet adapter. Works great. The only thing I found is that if you expect handoff to work with it you will be disappointed. Handoff seems to only work with wifi.
I don't dual boot into windows so i can't comment on if that works with the adapter or not. It works fine with VMWare Fusion.
FWIW I also use an Apple Thunderbolt to DVI adapter too.
They sell an ultra portable model, the Air. If I buy a "Pro" anything from Apple I expect it to be loaded. But I guess that's just not how it is anymore. If anything it should come with the adapter needed.

Thanks Doopstr. Some people reported that it worked for a month and quit, but I am mainly concerned with the trouble people seemed to have with it when using it in Windows/bootcamp.
