Adding things to notification center

How do I add iTunes to my notifications?  I want to be able to be notified what song/artist is playing currently, how do I add iTunes (and anything else really) to my notifications?

Applications are added automatically; I know of no way to add anything manually. I went to the iTunes store today to purchase something and - just now - saw that it is now showing in Notifications Center. As for choosing options, the only options available are shown in System Preferences > Notifications. I do not know of any way to choose a certain song; however, maybe someone else may have an idea.

  • Adding items in notification center

    Howdo I add items such as stock prices to the "Today View" of notification center?

    There unfortunaltely is no way to completely turn off notifications (that I know of)
    How ever there is a 'Do not Disturb' feature which disables it during a specific time period. If you set that for say 00:00 to 23:59, then you can basically disable it.

  • How can I only have certain calendars in notification center?

    So I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (I know a step behind but I'm not complaining) and for the most part it is AWESOME!  I synced everything fairly easily and if I had any trouble I could find a solution online in mere minutes.  What I have discovered though is that my all my shared calendars show in the notification center.  I use google calendar and I will not be switching to another.  I like it.  I utilize shared calendars so my family and friends stay connected but I don't want to see all 6 shared calendars events in my notification center.  At this point this feature is pretty useless to me.  I also have an issue with my one calendar not showing certain things in notification center. It is 1pm now and my 3pm-2am event is not showing in there.  If there is a way to fix all this please let me know.  If not now can I report a request to apple to express my desire to have those functionalities? :)

    Go to settings/notification centre and make sure today vie and calendar day view are both on

  • Weather App that reports to your notification center at a specified time?

    Here's the scenario:
    I work outdoors and live in the Midwest so the weather can and often does vary A LOT from day to day.
    I plug my iPad in for the night and go to sleep.
    When I wake up, I hit the home button to see my notification center. Contained there is the report from this weather app, telling me the basic information immediately: Current temperature, the day's high/low, any preciptiation chance.
    Now here's the added bonus that I really want:
    Everyone knows the temperature changes drastically from night to day, so a temperature reading would need to be taken near to the time that you wake up. What if you could set this app to display the information at a certain time? It's a concept just like an alarm where an action is triggered at a specified time, in this case, weather readings. Say I'm getting up at 6am. I'd set the app to report at 5:55am or something like that.
    OR the much simpler apprach would just be to add a weather widget of some sort to the lock screen. If that's an option, I'd gladly go for that as well.
    So does anything like this exist?
    Thanks to all!
    [EDIT]
    I found the solution to my question. I had a feeling it was something really easy that I was just missing. Thanks! Feel free to delete this thread. I would but I'm not sure how or if I even can.

    You are correct that things would be easier if it was automatic. However, you will generally find that it is a program with a built-in scheduler, such as a backup program or a video recording program, that left some code behind even if the program was trashed or removed from the system.
    As far as the PDP11, I don't think I could afford the electricity to run one even if I had one. The PDP11 is the first computer I was exposed to in medical imaging. I list it because every once in a while it draws out the truth from folks like yourself when they admit to knowing what one is.
    I think the first disk drives that thing used were housed in recycled washing machines using the old motors to drive the spindles.

  • Facebook and Twitter Posts not Working in Notification Center??!

    Ok right now I am REALLY confused. About a week ago, I went to post something on twitter. Naturally, instead of having to go to twitter.com and signing in, I used the Notification center "Click to Tweet" button to make my post. It worked just as you would expect. The little screen popped up, I typed my post and tweeted it.
    Just a few days ago, both the Tweet and Facebook Post buttons stopped working. I can click on them all I want, but the little index card-like screen never shows up. I don't know what the issue is, since I had both buttons working a few days ago. To try solving the issue I:
    1. Went into the settings for notifications and "Hid" the buttons from Notification center (that didn't work)
    2. Removed both my accounts from my laptop and re-added them (that didn't work)
    3. Checked to see that the password was correctly typed in... it was (and that still didn't work)
    The only thing I have left to do is try shutting down my laptop and restarting it. However I recently had some iPhoto software updates that required the laptop to be restarted. Even though this was after the problem started, it still didn't fix it.
    One more thing to note is that in Safari where the "Share" button is... that still works fine. I shared a website I was on to Facebook and it posted successfully. The only problem is the functions in Notification Center.
    If anybody has a solution to this issue where the Tweet and Facebook Post buttons stop functioning for Notification center, I would really appreciate it. Thanks

    NOTE- One other thing. Notifications from Facebook and Twitter still work, however. For instance, I just got a friend request approved on Facebook and that appeared as it should with the little banner notification as well as it appearing in my list of notifications. Somebody re-tweated my tweet and that appeared there too. The only thing that isn't working is the posting features.

    First, I would eject whatever it is that you downloaded. Go to Finder and eject it that way or depending how you have your system set up, do the two finger tap and Eject it. Download the link above. Once it downloads, double click it to install it. It should work. If it doesn't you need to use your Disk Utility to check for errors. Click your Finder again and then Applications. Scroll down to Utilities and then Disk Utility. Click on your hard drive and you will get a menu of items on the right side. Towards the bottom, you will see a button to Verify Disk Permissions. Click that and let it run. It may take a few minutes to finish. Once it's finished there may be a list of things wrong with your system. Click the Repair Permissions and let the computer do it's thing. Use Disk Utility at least once a month to make sure everything is in order on your system. If this doesn't fix it, I don't have any other suggestions. I'd hate to say do a fresh install but that might be the next step if this doesn't work.
    Something else to consider is that is if you use Time Machine and the system did work at one point, you could go back to the last known good point and reinstall that back-up. You would lose anything you have saved since that point (obviously). If you take steps to back up your information, that should not be an issue. (For me), Time Machine works as advertised. If you are not backing system up regularly, shame on you. You need to start ASAP backing up. It's an easy process and it's times like you are having now, that make the small preventive maintenance, worth extra time and effort.
    Good luck.

    Same thing with me but the Safari thing also doesn't work. I recently changed my twitter username so I thought that might be the problem, but no it isn't. Unfortunately, I can only complain with you, not help you, I apologize, Dan!
    What computer+ Mac os are you using? I am MacBook Pro with 10.8.4?

  • Notification center interferes with full-screen apps (incl. games)

    The new notification center interferes with games.
    When you are making control movements on the screen, a little grey tab keeps appearing at the top middle of the screen.
    Just from using it, it seems the notification center has a full-screen mode and a normal mode. For apps which are running in full-screen (includes games, but also built in apps such as YouTube and Photos when they are in full-screen mode), the gesture which normally brings down the full notification center just brings down a little gray tab at the top middle of the screen. You can then slide that tab down, if you really want the notification center.
    But in games, the tab keeps appearing when you don't want it, and it has nothing to do with the gameplay. Even in Photos and YouTube, I would be quite happy if the tab did not appear at all in full-screen mode (a single click on these apps takes them out of full-screen mode, then you can drag down the notification center anyway).
    It would be very appreciated if an iOS update could add a notification center Settings option to disable the notification center tab drag-down, in full-screen mode.
    I can understand that Apple are very unlikely to add an option to disable all notifications in full-screen mode; fair enough. And if a new notification does appear during a full-screen app, then of course dragging that down should still bring in the full notification center. What I don't want is the little grey tab appearing - when I'm just operating with an app in full screen mode, and no new notifications have arrived.
    Mike

    I agree with both posts and have the exact same issues with iOs 5.  I also feel that I've been juked by Apple into upgrading to iOs 5.  I had absolutely no desire to slow down my games and add a feature that would interfere with said games, which is all I've gotten with the notification center.  No disable option?  Seriously, that is just one of the most absurd things I can imagine.
    And I hate to burst Apple's bubble, but your CPUs and iOs do NOT multi-task unless it's the 4s (which has two cores).  If you (Apple) have the notification center running in the background at the same time that I'm playing my game or typing, the iphone 4 and all versions before it are going to lag or skip while processing the notification center while it ignores the current thread (ie games, interface, etc)!  This is the reason the old system was implemented the way it was.  I know this for a fact (for example, any games would pause immediately when you recieved a text message, because the iphone is only capable of processing 1 thread).
    Honestly, I think apple intentionally added this feature in this way to try to force users to migrate to the 4s because it's a dual core phone, and it won't experience as much lag when running two tasks.
    Just add a disable option, some people NEED the performance we had in iOs 4!

  • Notification center weather

    Where does this information come from? Is there any way to customize it? The information that comes up is just plain wrong. It doesn't help that the area I live in is the definition of microclimate (three miles east can be 5-10 degrees warmer), but other weather apps can adjust to my zip code. Why can't this one?
    I do have Weather turned on under location services and I've tried adding a different weather app (TWC) to the notification center. Neither worked.

    But where is the weather app? I've searched the iPad and it doesn't show up. The only thing that comes up is TWC, and turning to on doesn't help. I've tried downloading a third weather app, but it doesn't show up as an option in the Notification Center.
    I don't live in a rural area - the La Jolla neighborhood of San Diego - and the weather I'm seeing is a good 10 degrees higher than it is.

  • PLEASE ADD NOTIFICATION CENTER

    A notification center similar to iPhone or android would be FANTASTIC. its the only thing lacking from the phone especially since the Lumia Black update. Something to where you can swipe down, or the right to see all missed notifications. I can't tell you how many times I've heard my phone beep but since whatever it is that's trying to alert me isn't on my home screen, I have no clue what it is. So this feature desperately needs to be added. I hate missing things lol.

    dev devices are supposed to be pushed new sdk come april....and from the released screen shots....looks like your wish should come true upon wp8.1.

  • Some notifications don't appear in Notification Center

    I've been wondering about this for some time. I pressed the home button on my iPhone to wake it up and saw a quick glimpse of a number of notifications, including some from Twitter, Facebook, etc. This got my curiosity up. However, Touch ID kicked in and logged me into the phone.
    I wanted to see what those notifications were, so I turned the phone off and then on again, but, because they had displayed already, the notifications did not display again.
    So I dragged down to Notification Center to see what I had missed, and on the Today tab all it gives is weather, a calendar event, stocks and that there are three events scheduled for tomorrow. On the Notifications tab it just says what apps were updated yesterday.
    Okay, maybe some apps are blocked from Notification Center, so I went to Settings > Notifications and there are only 3 apps under Do Not Include and this does not include Twitter, Facebook, etc.
    I'm wondering why certain notifications appear on the lock screen but not in Notification Center, which seems to defeat the purpose of the whole thing.

    Timothy Arends1, if you want notifications to be displayed in the notification center, just set the one you want to see in the "INCLUDE" section.
    Settings > Notifications > Edit > Touch the bars on the right of the app you want to be notified and drag into the INCLUDE section.

  • I cannot customize the today view in the notification center of my iphone 4s. Please help

    Hi. I just upgraded to the ios7 and the first thing that challenges me is the empty today view of my notification center. I went to settings, notification center, today view but i cannot see any options. It is completely blank. What do i do?

    Sorry guys. I saw similar questions now and simply followed the option of pressing the power and home button to do a reset and it worked. Even though i didn't get an answer i still found the answer from within the forum. So thanks a million guys. Keep up the great work.

  • Any Way to Show All Reminders in Notification Center?

    I am wondering if anybody can help me here. I keep a list of ongoing items in the Mac Reminders App. However, since I typically don't assign an Alarm/Reminder to these items, they do not show up in the Mac OS X Notification Center.
    I'm wondering if there is a way to show all my Reminders in the Mac Notification Center even if I have not set an Alarm time on them?
    I think it will be much nicer to just crack open the Notification Center and see all my Reminders as opposed to having to open up the App each time.

    More flexible itegration with Reminders would be nice.
    I like to have a task list handy, to see what I need to do and check things off when I finish them.
    So I'd like to have ongoing projects listed in my Notification Center -- regardless of whether they have an alarm going off today or not. Alarms are annoying, and setting and resetting them every day for several ongoing projects is even more so.
    So it's Reminder in an always-open window for me too.
    Until it has more flexibility, the NC strikes me as a bit of useless UI bling.
    Although the inclusion in the NC of any edits I make to any documents in Text Wrangler is fantastic....Um. Not.

  • Facebook and Mail both send banner alerts in notification center for every action on facebook

    So I added Facebook to my accounts in Settings.  Then I logged in to Facebook and modified my notification settings so that I would get the notifications I wanted.  Awesome. Works great.  Problem is, these notification settings in Facebook are tied directly to your email on file with facebook -- there's no way (at least that I saw) that allows you to disable getting email from FB, but allow OS X to pull in those same notification settings. 
    So now in Notification Center, everytime someone interacts with my Facebook, I get an alert from Facebook and an alert from Mac Mail that Facebook was alerting me.  Super redundant.
    Anyone find a way around the duplications?

    I'm also having this problem.
    Notifications receives alerts from Reminders app, but not Mail.
    I've set preferences in Mail for 'Inbox Only' and 'All Mailboxes', sent test mail from ISP webmail and Google (Mail is not setup to receive from this account) - still no notifications.
    I had previously used Growl (v1.4) and GrowlMail very successfully (with 10.7), but while upgrading to Mountain Lion I was informed that GrowlMail was incompatible so I deleted it.
    While testing this problem of not receiving Mail Notifications I have disabled Growl and rebooted.
    Like others here:
    Checked: Notifications setup
    Checked: Mail setup
    Rebuilt permissions
    Rebooted
    Any help would be very gratefully received.
    Many thanks.

  • Facebook notifications not showing in Notification Center.

    Facebook notifications are not showing in Notification Center. I have everything "on" in Settings, Notification... All the other things work.
    Do I have to activate something elsewhere?

    Hi guys,
    I found a solution that worked with me.
    1- Delete Facebook app.
    2- synch your phone and install it again.
    3- create a US account on apple store that have a us address.
    4- download Facebook Messanger.
    You will be able to receive Facebook message on the lock screen.
    Try it.
