Notification center not saving preferences

OSX10.10 MacBook Pro, 2.8 GHz, i7, 4 GB
I have most notifications turned off. When I reboot, the Notification Center resets to defaults. Won't save my prefs. Anyone else find this and hopefully have a solution? Thanks.

Here are the instructions I got from AppleCare from an Apple Engineer. I'm not sure if the fix was specifically for my machine or if it'll work for someone else. Follow at your own risk.
1. Open the Library folder in your Home folder.
2. In the Library folder, open the Application Support folder.
3. Locate the folder named NotificationCenter. Drag this folder to the desktop.
4. Next, open the Terminal application.
Copy and paste each line of these commands into the Terminal window, in order. Press return after each line:
cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR`
rm -rf com.apple.notificationcenter
killall usernoted; killall NotificationCenter
5. Close the Terminal app.
6. Restart your computer.
The notification preference changes won't stick until you restart a 2nd time after this.

Lion not saving preferences

I just switched to a new retina macbook, with os 10.7. I'm having trouble with Linotype Font Explorer X not retaining its settings - previously, you could turn a font on & it would stay on. Although sometimes it does retain some of the font settings, but not all.
I've also noticed other programs occasionally not saving preferences.
Is this a known issue with Lion?

Make sure the systemprefs plist file is not locked. If it is, unlock it. If it isn't, delete it then restart.
To find the file
1. Make Finder active. Choose 'Go' from the menu bar, hold down the option key.
2. Choose Library (you must have the 'option' key held down).
3. Go to Preferences > com.apple.systemprefereces.plist
4. Right-click (or hit 'cmd-i' on the keyboard) and choose 'Get Info'. If the 'Locked' option is ticked, untick it. Then Restart. If the 'Locked' option is not ticked, close the dialogue, remove the file to trash. Restart.
5. What happens now is that system will restart at default system prefs. However, it should now save your new settings. To test it, just set one of the setting that you know didn't 'stick before', then restart and see if all is good.

Why Siri , notification center not in blur effect on iOS 7? I use iPad 3G

Please help me and fix this error
I have iPad 3G yesterday installed ios7 but Siri , notification center not in blur effect why?

I thought it was a bug too, but after a little research, it seems that apple removed that feature after beta 4 (obviously for no reason, because the iPad 2 & 3 have been capable enough on the other betas). Blur is a iPad 4-only feature now.
Really disappointing, because my iPad is just a year old.

Why is notification center not working for mail?

Im not receiving mail on notification center, why is that happening?

Good, glad it worked.
If you find you're getting too many notifications and get fed up, you can set it in Mail to VIP (smart mailbox).
You can make people VIPs by clicking the star symbol in front of their names and Notification Center will only notify you about emails from these certain people.

Notification Center not working for Mail

Notification Center doesn't give me a banner or a sidebar entry when I recieve an incoming e-mail message. The problem persists regardless of whether the Mail app is open or closed. I have checked my settings in both System Preferences and in Mail. What gives?
Thanks for your help.

Yosemite Mail mail not saving preferences

OS X 10.10, Mail 8.0
I have several mail accounts set up, a mix of POP and IMAP
One IMAP account does not use secure authentication.
If I set the preferences for the account under the Advanced tab, and tick 'Allow insecure authentication', then save preferences, I can send mail to the account.
However if I return to Mail after 5 minutes or so the preference has changed back to disallow insecure authentication, and that mail account no loner works. I get a message:
"Mail cannot send your password securely to the server. You can remove this restriction in the Accounts preferences by setting “Allow insecure authentication”, which could put your password at risk."
I have a POP account for a different email address with the same provider, and the preference to allow insecure authentication is saved.
I have tried deleting the account and setting it ip again, but the IMAP presence to use insecure authentication is still not saved.

I have this issue as well. This includes the inability of font preferences to stick, and the toolbar changes to be retained.

Mail & Notification Center not working

Not getting any alerts/badges when receiving mail via the Mac Mail application. Here's everything I have done tested so far:
- tested by sending email from another account, not via the mac mail app
- uninstalled Growl, rebooted then reinstalled Growl
- opened Notification Center prefs and turned all off, rebooted then turned all on
- Made sure that Gen Prefs in Mail app have notifications set for any mailbox...also tested with inbox only
- set mail account to POP and IMAP with same result
I've made sure Mail was running in the background and still no notification when Mail arrives. Also disabled my mail acct and added an iCloud account and still no new notifications.
Am I missing something?

Thanks andregotz for your suggestion. I removed my personal email adress from Adressbook and all new mail now appears in NC. That is to say, when the mail app IS running. It would be nice to receive a notification in NC for new mail when the mail app is NOT running! Calendar works that way too. I receive notifications in NC for every new calendar item even when the calendar app is not running.

Email notification center not working on iPhone5

My email notification center on the new iPhone5 does not appear to be responding to changes that I make.
For example. Whenever I'm at the office, I don't need my phone to notify me of every email that comes in. So I go into NOTIFICATIONS, EMAIL, and I turn "notification center" off. I also switch the alert style to NONE. However, I still see my phone light up whenever a new email comes through and the alert shows on the middle of the screen.
I've discovered that if I power cycle the phone, SOMETIMES, the setting will take.
I've gone from Blackberry to Android, and now to iPhone. The one feature that the BB did have which I loved was that you could very easily set all of your ringtones, alerts, etc... based upon a predifined notificatios app. for instance, If I chose 'Office", my phone would be set to vibrate for incoming calls and text messages, but nothing else. If picked "Home" it would ring for everything (phone calls, text messages, email, FaceBook, etc...). If I picked "Sleeping" it would would ring Only incoming calls and text messages.
I see that iPhone has attempted to do this with the DO NOT DISTURB option. I can quickly turn everything off with the exception of incoming calls. It would be nice if this option was more advanced and allowed me to set how I want each of my notifications to work, depending on which setting i picked.
I'm curiose as to whether or not any apps exist to allow this functionality. I have not been able to find one.

Well, I have a plain question for EVERYONE here:
Do you see the same Notification Center on the Lock Screen as in the Home Screen?
Do you? Anyone?
Apple: make sure you work on this stuff really fast, it's very anoing what you are doing here. I need the NotificationCenter on the LockScreen, with the Favorites contacts there too. Just learn from the jailbreak software, NOW !
I bet it's not a mistake, it's just the way Apple think it's better for me. They are so smart they know what's better for me all the time. Just plain WRONG !!!

Notification center not responding

Despite the last update OS X 10.8.2 , the Notification center stops responding. I have to shut down/restart the iMac or to have kill the proces with acivity monitor. Most of the time when I restart or completely shut down and start I have to reset, by power button, my iMac (mid 2011) because the start procedure will not finish and end up with an empty desktop.
Today also email app froze on me. Is there an other update on the way to fix these problems or are there any suggestions that I could look into?
Kind regards,
Richard Gase

The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

JDeveloper 11g Not saving preferences

Hi.
I'm not beeing able to save my IDE preferences. For example, by default the option Line Gutter - Show Line Numbers, is not checked. If I check this option, and click ok, when I open the preferences again, the option is not checked.
This is happening for any option I change, another example is the option JSP and HTML Visual Editor - Show design time messages in log. I cannot set this property.
Any idea on how to fix this ?
Thanks a lot,
Sincerely,
John

I think I've solved the problem.
I started JDev, in console mode (using jdev.exe).
When I clicked ok in the preferences dialog, I got the following stackTrace:

This led me to think that my proxy configuration was wrong. Went to the proxy configuration option, and I noticed that "Proxy server requires authentication" was checked, but my user and password were null. I filled these fields and clicked test Proxy. Got the same stackTrace, and after clicking ok, returning to the prferences dialog box, the user and password was not saved. What I did was, wen to the Check for updates under the help menu, and when it tried to connect, it couldn't because there were no user and password information saved. It showed me a dialog to put the user and password. After I've filled these fields, it did connect to Oracle update site. Closed that window, and went back to the preferences dialog. Then the user and password were saved correctly. Clicking on the test Proxy button, did not give me any stackTrace. Tried to change the Line Gutter setting, clicked ok, and the re-opened the preferences dailog. The properties was saved correctly.
Thanks for all the help.

Photoshop not saving preferences

I am having an issue with Photoshop not saving my preferences. I have created my own workspace but everytime I quit the application and restart it I still have to go through and reset all my preferences. Any thoughts on this?

I believe that would be the date that our tech team installed CS5 on my new computer. As a side note, our tech team consists of all PC people, there isn't one Mac expert among them and they didn't seem too confident setting the user accounts up. The entire team has had nothing but issues with our brand new macs + CS5. But I am not sure what part of that is Apple/Adobe/Tech fault.
When I "get info" on the settings folder my user account does not appear in the list. I changed the settings so that everyone has read & write permissions and that solved the problem. But that seems odd to me. Like I might have a much bigger permissions issue...?
Anyway, problem solved! Thanks Chris!

Yosemite "Notification center" "not running"

Since installing Yosemite, the notification center icon remains in the upper right hand corner of the menu bar, but when clicked it never opens, and it is not running in the Activity monitor.
Is ther a way I can turn it on?

Mountain Lion notification center not working.

After getting Mountain Lion installed and notification center setup, I only receive notifications for Twitter and Reminders.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Facebook, Mail, Messages, and all the others are not alerting and are not showing up when I open the right sidebar.

I just did a clean install of Mountain Lion and I thought that my issue with this had something to do with it. One thing is that my notification center for Facebook doesn't have all of the options that the OP's center has:
I deleted the PreferencePane for Notification and reinstalled 10.8.2 but I still get this result. No sound in Notifications on the Mac or my iPhone for Facebook.

IOS 5.0.1 Notification Center not actually turned off, draining battery

Before iOS 5 upgrade, I deleted Trapster after use, and I would not receive any more alert.
After iOS 5 upgrade, I experienced crazy battery drainage. I turned off the diagnosis and usage, and chose Do Not Send. Not helpful to save battery life.
After iOS 5.0.1 upgrade, battery drainage has been varied between 8% to 15% per hour, even worse!
I found a few problems:
1. After using Trapster, and deleted it from memory, while the notification was set as OFF, though alert was set to Banner in the Notification Center, the Alerts still appear when Locked on. I changed the Alert from Banner to None, but without reset the iPhone, later in the day, Trapster still gave me a few banners alert, though it was not in the memory.
2. Sometimes my iPhone 4S has hot rim while no app in memory and in sleep mode, charging or non-charging. I ran System Activity Monitor app and found that 45%-65% CPU resources are being used. For no intervention at all, it will drop back to 2% to 5% after a few minutes and the battery dropped 5%- 15% within that period.
3. After taking photos with the Camera while Options HDR is ON, even though the Camera app was deleted, the iPhone 4S remains hot or even getting hotter. (Sometimes I could get the same result when tests were repeated but not always.)
I have 10 apps set ON at Notification Center, but Trapster is one of the 37 apps Not in Notification Center.
I am thinking that the Location Services (as in Camera) and Notification Center are not actually able to turn off, even though you may have actually turned them off.
I have 2 iPhone 4S. This is about the one upgraded from iPhone 3GS.
Another iPhone 4S, which upgraded from iPod 2G, has no battery drainage problem from day one.

Since I upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 I have a problem with the camera (no zoom). The iOS 5 has got many problems it appears.
