Incorrect Folder Badge Count

I have a folder on my homescreen with several apps in it. This problem has not come up until just recently, but the notification badge count for the folder is always one less than the number of notifications if I open the folder and count each app's notifications.
I have tried clearing all the notifications, turning notifications off and then on again, restarting my phone, and removing all the apps from the folder and then recreating it. Nothing has worked so far. Has anyone else run into this problem?
I am on an iPhone 4S with iOS 5.0.1. Thanks!

I found the app that was causing the problem and deleting and reinstalling it worked.
In my case the offending app was Ticket to Rode Pocket. To figure this out I took each app out of the folder one by one to see if the folder's badge count was correct without it. Without Ticket to Ride in the folder the badge count was correct, but whenever it was in the folder it was acting as a -1 for the folder.
I deleted the app and reinstalled it, restarting my iPhone after each of those steps just to be safe, and that fixed the problem for now. Hopefully it proves to be a permanent solution.

Incorrect iCloud badge counts – calendar/reminders

My iCloud badge counts are way off, and getting worse every day – specifically the calendar and reminder counts.
Every day they just increase, without me using either app on my iPhone/iPad/Mac. When I open them up, there's no apparent reason for the badges at all. They should be 0, or rather, not there.
Here's a video showing some of the strange behaviour my account is exhibiting. The calendar count goes from 11 to 0 by just opening the calendar. Upon logging in again, it's back to 11, or even more.

Any ideas?

I haven't yet, but I can give it a go. Quite a lot of devices linked up; iPhone, iPad, MBP, 2x iMacs!
It's really strange that it's only on icloud.com. None of my devices are showing any odd notifications/erroneous data.

Reminder badge count is incorrect

My Reminder badge count shows that I have 4 tasks outstanding - when I have none. This is true for the machine I just upgraded to Yosemite and the one that is also running Mavericks. My iOS devices are fine.
When I go into Reminders and click on the "Task" tab on the left I can see the four tasks (from 2012) - I can mark them as completed - and it ignores the action. I can delete them and it ignores the action. I can change the due date and it ignores the action. The one thing that is different than current tasks is that rather than associated with iCloud tasks it references calendar tasks.
Is there anyway to clear these out?
Thanks

I've been having this same issue for a while on my iPad2. After scanning this post, I decided to start removing items from the misbehaving folder. No change, until I got to Camera Prime (iPhone app). This app does not have any control panel settings for badges, but does have an internal option (by the way, the folder showed the badge number -3). Upon removing the offending app (Camera Prime), the count immediately corrected.
Attempt 1) I opened the app, turned off the badge count (no badge showing on the app by the way), and then put the app back into that folder. Count on the folder dropped by ONE only.
Attempt 2) Deleted the app, reinstalled from the cloud, put it back in the folder. Count drops by ONE. Tried deleting through the control panel (deletes data as well), then reinstalled. No change.
Test1 - Moved the app to a different folder (with a badge count), count reduced by ONE.
Test2 - Moved the app to a different folder with NO badge count. No change.
So I've reduced the effect of the count, but this app (Camera Prime) seems to have a defect that is (perhaps) a default count of -1.
Have not tried resetting the iPad since going through this. Maybe later.
Good luck.

Fsck -fy and incorrect folder count

Lately, my MBP threw a kernel panic, so I hard-rebooted the MBP and entered single user mode by holding Command+S while booting up. I then immediately ran "fsck -fy". Everything looked fine except for one thing: fsck tells me that there is an "incorrect folder count in a directory", with id=2 and the count should be 25 instead of 24. I assume id=2 is the id of the directory in question, right? Such a low id number suggests that it is one of the first directories created during the Mac OS X installation - i.e. a really important folder. Does the id of 2 always refer to the same (important, system) directory on every Mac that runs Snow Leopard? Shall I be worried?

Hi SwordAngel;
If you have errors that Disk Utility is incapable of repairing such as your incorrect folder count error, you should always do your best to repair it. Generally I know of two way to fix that error. You can either buy DiskWarroir which should be able to fix it. Or else you can reformat the drive. Of course reformatting the will erase all data so please backup first.

Incorrect Folder Count (-63) report from TechTool Pro

I've gotten this message a couple times. I can't find any info on what the -63 error message is (I assume it's an incorrect folder count).
The last time it happened I booted off the startup disc and ran disc utility, which found two extra folders. I repaired the disc and it was fine for about a week, now it's back. Any ideas what might be causing this?

+I can't find any info on what the -63 error message is+

IBooks badge count on iPhone iOS8 8.1.1

Hi everyone,
I have a badge count of 2 on my purchases when I open iBooks on my iPhone. This does not appear on my Mac of iPad. When I go to the purchases tab on my phone, it just shows all the books I have either on my phone or in the cloud and none of them has a prompt to update. I am not sure if I am missing something. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

How to Reset Application Badge Count AS3

Hi,
I have successfully sent an apple push notification using a native extension for adobe air by anders-tbl. The notification simply sets the badge count to 1 and has a little message.
What confuses me is how do I reset this badge count once a user reopens my application or opens the application by clicking on the notification? The badge count always stays at 1 even if I delete the application and reinstall it, it’s still there!!??
I know I can reset the badge count by sending a notification with badge = 0, but I can't dynamically do this by sending an empty APN with badge set to 0 as you only get the device token on first application load? Surely you set this via some kind of AS3 function? I can’t seem to find any help searching google at all.
If anyone knows or can nudge me in the right direction on how you are suposed to do this that would be great.
Cheers,

Notification badge / counter

Some apps, such as SMS Facebook and email, have a yellow notification badge on its app icon.
What takes to enable the badge for other apps? such as Whatsapp
Thanks.
Solved!

Hi xwaiz,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
With the information supplied, I can advise that the Badge counter is based on the default home screen, you would be required to download an alternative Homescreen launcher to be able to add a counter badge to other apps.
I suggest having a look on the Play store, try looking up Nova or Notifyer, from what I am aware they allow badge counters on apps.
I hope this helps.

Unread Mail Badge Count Incorrect

Since I installed IOS 8.2 my email icon is showing I have 40,202 unread emails when there is none. It also keeps kicking me out of the app at times. I have deleted the mail account, shut off ipad and re added the mail account and the unread number of 40,202 comes back.
I have also turned the account off, shut the ipad down, turned the account back on and the 40,202 is back !!!
iPad 2, iOS 8

What is probably happening is that the iPad gets the Notification with the right number of unread messages and will sit there. It will not update that number until it is either given updated information, or you open the Mail app in which case it checks.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, someone opens mail on the Mac and reads the emails. The status of the number of unread items changes but the iPad does not get an update as you possibly don't have Push and Notifications set correctly.

Folder Image Counts in LR not updating

LR Version Running: v4.1
Catalog Size: 27176 images spreadout over approximately 150 folders
Primary Problem: The image counts represented on folders in LR are not reflecting accurate counts until I run "Synchronize Folder" option. This occurs on a fairly frequent basis and in a number of cases I can reproduce the problem.
History: This missing of images in a folder has been plaguing me since the initial release of LR. During that time I opened a case and Adobe Technical Support who took over my desktop and were also able to reproduce the problem. They had no fix but said that it was a software bug and would be corrected in a subsequent release. I am now on LR 4.1 and it still is present.
Specific Examples:
1) I will go to a folder looking for an image that I know at one time was visible in LR but now it no longer is there. So, I search for it using LR on such attributes as filename or keywords without success. I then open up Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder and there it is. I can even right-click on the file name and open it up in Adobe Photoshop. I don't like going that route because I lose any adjustments I may have applied in LR. So my solution has been to right-click on the folder of the file that is missing the image(s) and select "synchronize folder". I am then presented with a dialog box that displays the number of missing (that LR calls"new") photos. Next, I click on the "Synchronize" button in which I am then presented with the import screen and shown the missing images. I then click on "Import" button and when the updating process is finished the folder Count is now correct and image shows up in the folder.
2) I can reproduce this behavior every time when I open an image in PS from LR, duplicate it, convert the duplicate to Black & White (Image-->Adjustments-->"Black & White"), apply an action to reduce the file size and change the color space, and then save it as a jpeg in a folder called "web" sitting under the original source folder. After saving it the count on the folder does not change, at least not until I go through the "Synchronize Folder" process. Ironically, if I now go to the original color image that the B&W was duplicated from and convert and save it as a jpeg to the same folder the folder updates immediately.
3) After importing a large number of images from a photo session into LR (via a card reader) I will delete the unwanted images, assign a subject specific naming convention to the remaining ones, attach keywords, and then use the export function to transfer them to their various subject related folders for long-term storage. Since missing images has been a long-standing problem for me, out of paranoia I will go to the folders to verify that the images are present For example, recently I exported 50 images to a folder and then went to it to verify all the images transferred correctly. I was unable to find five of the images. After running "Synchronize Folder" the folder amount was updated in the images appeared in the folder. All of files in this case were Canon RAW (CR2).
The above are just a few of the examples that I am dealing with on a fairly consistent basis. I also have a friend who also is experiencing the same problem but is using a different workflow. I would very much appreciate it, if anybody who has encountered this probably before and found a solution, would be willing to share their fix to it. Thank you in advance for considering my inquiry.

web-weaver,
Thank you for your insightful reply. It got me thinking regarding my example #2 above and spurred me on to do some additional testing. What I did was create a directory called "web" under the source file one. I have about 2000 RAW images waiting for processing so I randomly grabbed one and did my normal CTRL-E to bring it into CS6. Below are the tests I made and their results:
a) Image was not duplicated but my custom action to resize it for the web was applied and then saved in the "web" folder as a jpeg using "Save-As" option. I did this for a number of files and each time the folder count incremented correctly.
b) Image was loaded into CS6 and then immediately duplicated. I then selected the orginal (not the copy) and the same procedure in "a" above was followed and the image count for the folder incremented and the folder count was verified as correct.
c) Image was loaded into CS6 and then immediately duplicated. I then applied my custom action on the copy and followed the identical save steps as in the above examples. The counter FAILED to increment. I then looked in the folder and the image was not showing so I performed the "Synchronilze Folder" and that fixed the missing image and count problem. I repeated this example several times and all with identical results.
Conclusion on my "Specific Example 2": It appears that the "Save-As" is not the issue, The real problem is my forgetting that LR is a database that keeps track of images via an index. So when I duplicate the image in Photoshop it is not realistic to expect LR to even know the existence of the duplicate until it is saved in one of its established folders and the index on that folder is refreshed (I am assuming that is what "Synchronize Folder" function is performing). So as far as I would conclude this is normal database behavior.
Regarding my 3 example, thanks for your inputs on workflow. For the sake of brevity I did not relay the full detail of mine. As a very brief but still inadequate explanation, the RAW files that I bring into LR are kept in the holding folder for 3 reasons. The first is to review all and eliminate ones that I will not be retaining. Secondly, the remaining ones ("keepers") are then renamed and key words are assigned and then exported into their long term storage folders that get backed up each night. Finally, the ones still in the holding folder are now ready for processing the jpegs that will go into separate folders for my web site and iPad portfolio. As I process each CR2 file it is then deleted from the working directory leaving only the ones I still need to process. I suspect there are better ways of doing this but so far it has worked very efficiently for me since LR came out. With regards to the problem of LR randomly losing track of some images across all of my image folders you might be right that the "Preference" file is getting corrupted. From my past discussions with Adobe Tech Support it seems that we did delete the existing one letting a new one get generated but I seem to recall that effort did not provide any remedy.
Thanks again for your reply and thoughts. They were much appreciated.

App Store badge count shows the wrong number in iOS 8.0.2

Just updated to iOS 8.0.2 on both my iPhone 5 and iPad Air and the App Store badge app count still shows the number of apps that had updates even though they were updated when syncing with my Mac.
When you launch the App Store it quickly shows "Update" for a number of apps before then showing "Open"
Anyone else got the same issue or know how to fix it?

Had the same problem with upgrading to 8.0.2 and then having app updates occur while syncing with iTunes - although just for the iPhone not iPad - not sure what I did differently if anything. The badge number on the phone was wrong until I got an over-the-air update notification which reset the badge number. I uploaded the app over-the-air and now there is no badge number (I would assume until the next update). Will try a sync again with iTunes to see if it was something new with iTunes - or just an odd combination of updating to 8.0.2 in conjunction with app updates.

Prime 1.3: incorrect MSE license count

Hello!
I have the following equipment for the WiFi infrasrtucture
Prime NCS (1.3)
MSE 3355 (7.4.100.0)
WLC 5508 (7.4.100.0)
The problem is that Prime 1.3 incorrectly displays MSE wIPS Monitor Mode APs license count.
I have 20 monitor mode LAPs, but Prime displays only one LAP under MSE wIPS Monitor Mode APs count. In addition this one LAP is not in monitor mode.
The wIPS Monitor Mode APs license (AIR-WIPS-AP-25) is permanent.
At first MSE had been shipped with 7.2.110 with preinstalled wIPS license and then was uprgaded to 7.4.100.
MSE and WLC are synced.
I tried to change the modes for these LAPs from monitor to local and backwards, but had no luck.
Has anyine faced this problem?

Thank you, Scott!
This is really, confusing, because there is no exact information about it in documentation.
In conclusion (correct me, if I am wrong):
MSE 7.4 supports the old AIR-WIPS-AP-25 license, but doesn't display it in proper way. This situation is normal and it should be so.
