Notification Center-How do I connect Facebook?

I remember being prompted once to add a website to the notification center, but did not get it for any others. I would like to add facebook to my notification center. Any help?

Hey Melanator,
Great question. To receive notifications from Facebook, Twitter, and other accounts, simply setup the account in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars:
OS X Mountain Lion: Set up iCloud, Twitter, Facebook, and other web accounts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11325
Once setup, you can configure the settings for notifications in System Preferences > Notifications:
OS X Mountain Lion: Get notifications in one place
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11433
Thanks,
Matt M.

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.

Notification center questions

I have an iphone 4 with ios 5 and i'm having problems with my notification center. Mail, messages, phone, calendar, reminders, weather and stocks all work, i have no problems with that, whatsoever. But i've downloaded a few apps supposedly with notifications and i've turned them on in settings for notification center put i haven't received any notifications, they don't appear AT ALL in notification center. My apps are facebook, bbc news, billminder, schedule, cbc news, iperiod. and none have sent me notifications.
I'm pretty good with technology and i've fiddled with my iphone a lot to see if i could make it work but i found nothing to fix it.
Can anybody help me??
Thanks

Hi Josee
I `m not too familiar with this user forum, I see your thread here is from 2011. I have the ALMOST EXACT same problem as you once described. Sorry to bother you, but has this issue been resolved? I have migrated from iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3 by backing it up and then "installed" the new iPhone 5.
So my result is, I get mail, calendar, weather, forex apps, but some news apps won`t "push" although I allowed. ( I have described this in my own request to the forum...) maybe you found out about something. Many thanks in advance. (and I was alreaddy patient for days waiting to get push notifications..)
Have a nice day.

How do I connect the Notification Center/Facebook setting to my account? Right now it only shows my wide's FB account.

Somehow the notification center got set to my wife's facebook page instead of mine, but I can't figure out how to change it. OS 10.8.3.

Hi Connor,
The only "accounts" on iMessage are the accounts you have set up. Open iMessage, from the top toolbar click on Messages>Preferences>Accounts
There you will see what accounts are set up on your iMessage app. If your ex-girlfriend is still set up in your Contacts, you may want to remove her from there.
Cheers,

How do I unlink my friend's Facebook account and my notification center?

My notification center keeps receiving notifications from my friend's Facebook page. I have logged her out from all of my web browsers, but I am still receiving her notifications. I would like to know how to unlink her page from my notification center, for her privacy's sake.

this thing works:
Just go into "Settings" and click on "Internet Accounts" (it looks like the @ sign) and then click on Facebook and click the minus sign at he bottom. It will delete the account and it will get rid of the notifications. Then to add your own personal account, click the plus sign and you can use your own log in....

How to setup Facebook notifications on OS X Mountain Lion notification center?

Hi!
Well, I'm having a bit of a problem here on my OS.
I had a Facebook account and I used to receive notifications in the OS Notification Center about comments, likes, messages, etc., as if I was at my iPhone or iPad.
In the meanwhile I deleted that account on Facebook and lost all my information (permanently) because I 'arrived' late at the recovery date and the OS was linked with that account.
Then I have created a new account and linked the new on the OS. The post function at the Notification Center is working well. No problem about it.
As for the notifications, they just don't appear. Nothing. I recieve them on my phone, on the page... But not on the OS Notification Center!
I have already been at the System Preferences, Mail/Contacts/Calendar, deleted the Facebook login information, configured once again. It doesn't work.
Do I have to do anything about the privacy or settings on the Facebook website?
I hope you can help me solve this little problem.
Thanks!

Hello dįôñtę,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Understanding Notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3576
Troubleshooting notifications
Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If you are not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
Verify that the app supports notifications.
After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app at least once to begin receiving notifications.
If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
Check Settings > Notifications to ensure that the app is configured for notifications.
If notifications do not appear only in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
If you are still unable to receive notifications and you are using a Wi-Fi connection, verify that the network or firewall is not blocking access to port 5223.
Best of luck,
Mario

How to permanently get rid of Facebook in Notification Center?

Hello,
I'm growing incredibly frustrated of the Facebook notifications in Yosemite. I've followed all directions to turn them off. I've dragged Facebook to the 'Not In Notification Center' area. I've also selected 'None' in 'Facebook alert style' and unchecked 'Shot notifications on lock screen' as well as 'Show in Notification Center'.
Yet, every time I restart my computer, Facebook notifications start littering my desktop and, sure enough, all the preferences I set for it have been reset and it's back in my Notification Center.
If anyone can tell me how to simply delete Facebook from Notification Center all together, I'd be thrilled.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Let me know if it works... You can add facebook in internet acounts again later if you want it...
It might reset the settings.. And may solve the problem anyhow...
i.e. you might want birthdays on your calendar for example...
Personally I dont like facebook junk cluttered on my email. However dont mind facebook notifications for facebook chat...
I dont know if your notification center also clutters you with other rubbish... Like facebook notifications that are not private chat... Mine doesnt... I think i had set the facebook settings a while ago not to spam all the rubbish facebook sends.

How to send a message to a Facebook friend from shortcut of messages in notification center

i tried to send a message to a facebook friend from the shortcut of messages like facebook post or twitter tweat option in notification center but i couldn't i thought there may be something else which i need to do before sending a message to anyone from facebook is there something i need to get done before i can a message to a facebook friend ???

Hi,
I take it you have a Jabber account set up in Messages ?
A Google Mail ID can access Google talk which is a Jabber Server and if you have Enabled "Chat" at Facebook you will have a Facebook chat ID that can be used in Messages as they too run a Jabber server.
Of course these are just two of many Jabber and compatible XMPP servers.
I don't have Facebook or Twitter but I did use the Menu bar icon for Notifications and clicked Messages and Sent a Messages to one of my Jabber IDs (it logged me in and sent it from my Google one).
In the System Preferences > Notifications I do have Share Button set (Messages only).

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.
