"Ask to buy" requests not appearing in notification center (family sharing)

I understand that if one misses an "ask to buy" request from a family member from the lock screen, it is supposed to be available in the notification center. However, these requests are not being logged in my notification center. There doesn't seem to be a setting in Settings to turn on or off these type of notifications.
Any idea why they are not appearing in the notification center?

Hi,
Same issue here. I've logged in and out of the AppStore and still the same issue. I have 3 kids, each with their own device, and each one is REQUIRED to "Ask to Buy". Neither my wife or I get any notification to approve. I've checked my Mac as well as the Family Sharing on both iPhone 6's and everywhere shows our family listings correct.
It cannot be THIS HARD to figure out. Apple must be having some issues, however this is extremely frustrating. No one can buy any apps?!??!?! You'd think they'd like to sell more stuff?!
Please help! Now my son needs apps for school and he cannot get them on his iPad. Even on the App store it says "approve on this device with parent" and that link won't work.
Thanks.

Lync does not appear in notification center

I have the latest version of Lync installed (4.2.6609.0000). When installing the app (I have tried deleting and reinstalling several times) the app does not ask me if I wish to receive push notifications. Therefore I assume this is the reason it does not appear in notification center and therefore unless actually in the app I do not see chats if in screen lock or another app etc.
On the previous version of Lync I had the same problem. However, I found that if I loaded Lync, powered off, powered back on again and reloaded Lync I could get it to appear in Notification Center and it worked in the background/screenlock etc.
Is there a way to force it into Notification Center so it will work in the background? When deleting I use app center via 3G so do not connect to a PC etc.
Any ideas or help here. Great tool, but a little useless if it cannot notify me of conversations from other users.

With the previous version of Lync if you loaded Lync, powered off, back on, loaded Lync it would appear in notification centre. But this doesn't seem to work now.
However, as I mention other colleagues with the same phone, IOS version etc do work.

Events "full day" does not appear in Notification Center

hello,
Events " full day " does not appear in Notification Center on my iPhone 6 If I add an event at a specific time today , this event is displayed. Otherwise , the part calendar ( on today's page ) show " no events " even if there is one or more events " full day " .
iOS bug or wrong setting on my part ?

'Ask to buy' requests not being received

Any ideas?
I'm not getting the ask to buy requests through from my kids? (They are showing as my family etc)
Thanks

Same issue here. I have a kid set up and have the "ask for permission" option on. Everything seems to be set properly, but when app or update permission requests are sent to me (the parent), I never get the alert to approve. It seemed to work once on the day after ios8 launched, but over the weekend it did not work...and continues not to work.

Mail not appearing in notification center... Also, gears not appearing in the mail app.

I tried to configure my mac to enable it to receive mails in the notification center but cant. i have tried to send an email from other IDs but havent received any banner or alert while using my mac. i have checked the show alerts and banners in notification center. Do i have to keep the window of the mail app in a specific position to receive alerts in the notification centre? Also, the gears are not appearing in the mail app when i fetch for new mail. please help..

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.

Mail icon not appearing in notification center in settings menu.

I am not receiving any email notifications after upgrading my iPhone 4 from 6.0.1 to 7.0.2.
I have checked Settings->Notification Center to see if it is in Include or Do Not Include, however there is no option for Mail anywhere.
It was there before the upgrade.
Emails still come in when I open the Mail app but I don't known when a new one has arrived as there is no notification and the badge does not show a new email.
Do I need to restore and reinstall 7.0.2 or is there something else I am missing?
Thanks for your help in advance.

do a reset by holding the power and home button until the apple logo appears ignoring the slide to power off.open your notification after tthe phone restarts and see if the settings for mail appears.

Tweets not appearing in Notification Center

Hi there
Quick question.... Is the new ML Notification Centre meant to show all the tweets that come into my Twitter feed thus removing the need to have a Twitter client installed?
I have entered my Twitter account into the Mail Accounts preference pane and the Twitter account is showing in the list in the Notifications Pref Pane but so far no tweets have appeared in Notifications even though the Twitter client says there are new tweets to be read.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance
Jonty

You will only get notifications of mentions and direct messages send to you. It will not show your timeline.
"And when someone mentions you in a tweet or sends you a direct message, you’ll get a notification right then and there."

Artwork not appearing for content with Family Sharing?

OK, trying to figure out how the Family Sharing feature works with iOS 8. The scenario:
1. I have an iMac running OS X Mavericks and an iPad running iOS 8. Let's say my iTunes Store ID is [email protected] and my iCloud ID is [email protected] I am the "family organizer" in Apple parlance.
2. I set up a new iCloud ID for my daughter: [email protected]
3. From my iPad, I added [email protected] as a new family member and sent her an invitation. She accepted the invitation on her iPad.
4. I then synced her iPad to the iTunes library on my iMac, loading some movies and TV shows onto her iPad. All the content loaded ok onto her iPad. The content plays fine, but there is no artwork.
Anyone else having this issue. Am I doing something incorrect? Thx

I have the same issue - interestingly, I am able to see iTunes purchases. It's just app store purchases that aren't showing up.

HT201089 Ask to buy requests are not coming to me

When I but a tv show or movie using my son's iPad, an ask to buy request is supposed to come to me, correct? I'm the organizer. The requests are not coming to me. I've checked all my notification messages and there's no request for approval of the purchase. Any suggestions?

Without specifics the only thing that comes to mind if you did verify his age. Sorry thats all I got.

HT201089 Why as the organizer am i not receiving the ask to buy requests

I am the organizer and i am not receiving the ask to buy requests. I removed my wife as a parent to see if that was the problem but she is still receiving the request and i am not. what do i do?

I also had problems with Ask to Buy when I first set-up family sharing . My issue was that the child devices they were being asked to put in the verification code of the credit card linked to the organiser's appleID before the request was sent. This made no sense - why would the child device need that?!
I checked that each device was set to the right account for icloud and itunes/app store, logged in and out etc but nothing seemed to work.
Eventually we tried simply entering the CCV on the child device and found that everything worked perfectly after this.
Hope this helps others with similar problem. Once set-up and working it is great.

Is there a way to prevent hidden calendars from appearing in Notification Center?

I have 4 calendars syncing with my iPhone -- now running iOS5.
One of those calendars is my Google Calendar, which includes birthdays of all my contacts.
However, the iOS also offers a special "Birthdays" calendar that pulls birthdays from the Contacts app. I have that calendar hidden because it is duplicative of my Google Calendar.
Yet, despite the fact that it is hidden from showing in the Calendar app, those entries appear in the new Notifications Center. As a result, birthdays appear twice.
While this is far, far from a big deal and certainly something I can live with, it would be nice if hidden calendars didn't appear in Notification Center. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing?

Well, since you have multiple calendars synced to one account, this may not work. I was syncing one Yahoo calendar and that's the one that was giving me the duplicate entries on the notification screen. On my iphone I went to Settings -- Mail, Contacts, Calendars -- chose my Yahoo account (which was already inactive) and turned off Reminders (which curiously has an icon next to it that looks like the iOS5 reminders app). I've noticed that not all of my email/calendar accounts have this option, though. Very strange.

Google Talk Messages Only Appear In Notification Center

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, instant messages from Google Talk only appear in Notification Center. (IM's between iCloud and AIM work fine.) On one occasion, I was able to double-click on the incoming IM from Google Talk, and it opened in the Messages app. However, subsequent IM's are effectively trapped in Notification Center. I am unable to single or double-click on them to reply. The only indication that I see to know a new IM from Google Talk has arrived is Message's icon bounces once in the Dock, and gets badged with the number of new messages.
This was not a problem using the Messages Beta with Lion, which did not have Notification Center as a feature. The only interesting Messages related message I find in the Console is:
7/30/12 12:11:45.733 pm Messages[5475]: *** WARNING: -[NSImage compositeToPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction:] is deprecated in MacOSX 10.8 and later. Please use -[NSImage drawAtPoint:fromRect:operation:fraction:] instead.
Thanks in advance for any help!

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.

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.

My mail is not updating in notification center, I cant receive the mail in notification center, help?

Hi, I recently purchased a copy of Mac OS X Mountain Lion, after playing around with notification center I realized that if I get new mail I have to open my mail in the application so that it can appear in the notification center, why cant it just appear in notification center without having to open mail, thanks.

You have to open Mail. The reason is unknown now, but Apple can add it in an update soon

Calendar entries duplicating and calendar not showing in notification center

hi all after upgrading my iphone 4 to IOS5 I noticed that although my calendar showed in the notification center, entries were duplicated.
The calendar was originally sync'd on from outlook and then backed up to icloud.
After fiddling around I now this is the very frustrating case:
if I select the local calendar sync'd on from outlook (called Clares Calendar) it shows each entry only once (correctly) but does not show in notification center despite it being enabled in the notification settings.
If I select the icloud calendars (either just one of them - calendar or all of them - calendar, home, work) then entries are duplicated in the calendar app (but both have the yellow dot - suggesting they're both from the icloud calendar) and even with this duplication, this STILl does not show in the notification center.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
