Notifications aren't working for Mail on iPad mini

Notifications is working fine on my new iPad mini, except for Mail. Mail on my iPhone 4 running iOS 6 works great but not on my new iPad mini running iOS 7.
When an email comes in on my iPhone while it is OFF I get notified with an Alert. On my iPad I get nothing. On my iPhone while I'm using an app I get an email Alert pop up that either has to be Read or DISMISSed. On my iPad I get nothing. On my iPhone the Badge App Icon works to show the number of Unread messages as soon as I turn it on and look at the Home Screen. On the iPad I get nothing until I open Mail and wait for the mail to come in. THEN the Alerts start popping up and the Badge App Icon starts working.
On both devices I have three POP email accounts with my ISP, and one IMAP Gmail account. I've compared Notification settings between the two devices and they are the same. Settings > Notification Center > Notification View is ON (Green). In Mail each account is set ON for Alerts, Badge App Icon, Show in Notification Center, Show on Lock Screen, and Show Preview. In "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" I have Fetch New Data to Push and the next screen I have Push ON and each account set to Fetch.
I got the iPad mini a couple of days ago and was running iOS 6. After I added my email accounts I noticed that I was getting email Alerts on my iPhone but not on the iPad. I checked all the settings and finally I upgraded yesterday to iOS 7 thinking that would fix it the problem. It didn't.
I've tried rebooting (holding the On/Off button until I get the "Slide to power off"), and even did a Reset All Settings. Those didn't work either.
What am I missing?

While waiting for someone to offer help I continued with my own troubleshooting, feeble as that may have been.
I thought I had done the basic stuff already with no success, like rebooting and resetting, so I tried deleting accounts, one at a time, to see if maybe notifications were stuck in one and affecting the others. That didn't work.
After deleting all accounts, I waited an hour or so, and added one account back, starting with my Gmail account. Notifications began working! I added another account and that one worked also.
Finally, with all accounts back in the iPad notifications are working like they should!

Notification will not work for Mail

Downloaded Mountain Lion; everything appeared to go well with install. When I first launched Mail, there didn't seem to be any issues (had to convert messages into new format, etc.) However, Notifications for Mail is not working. When a new message is sent, it will not appear as a banner, alert, etc in the corner. I've checked System Preferences to ensure that Notifications for Mail is on; I've also checked Mail Preferences to ensure that new messages are going to the notification center. Any thoughts? Other notifications seem to be working (I think).
Running on a 15-inch Mid-2009 MacBook Pro, 8 GB RAM, 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

UPDATE: It does appear that if you send yourself an email (even from another account) and both emails are within Mail, you will not get a notification. It will download in Mail; it will be readable, but there will be no notification from the new notification center.
All of my other Mail notifications (e.g. emails from other people or accounts) have been coming through with no issues.
Is this a bug? Or was this intended? We shall see.
Thanks all for your responses.

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.

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.

Why is notification center not working for mail?

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

Re: Mifi and Charging - does this work for charging the iPad?

I found the following post on here - but it is too old for me to reply directly to it - however, this was a very good post and it worked for me and I would really like to get in touch with mikebob to see if the same thing would work for charging the iPad - his ideas really work. And does he or anyone know how to charge the iPad from batteries?
thanks a lot

I finally managed to figure out the proper cabling to get the Verizon Mifi 2200 to charge using a generic USB charger. To recap the problem... The mifi device will only charge when using the supplied micro usb charger, or when connected to a computer USB port using the supplied micro USB cable. When connected to a computer, the device reverts to it's connected data mode, which turns off the wifi ssid broadcast and requires the Verizon access manager application to be launched. Most third party chargers will not work... including most 12V lighter to USB adapters, and most backup battery solutions.
Here is what is going on... Per the USB specification, Pins 1 and 4 are 5V power and ground respectively. Pins 2 and 3 are data+ and data-. In most chargers, pins two and three are tied via a pullup resistor to the 5V line. If you measure the voltage on 2 and 3 you will see around 3V, equivalent to a logic high state. This has something to do with allowing the device being charged to identify whether it should be in a fast or slow charging mode. More importantly, it is what the Apple iPod expects to see . So, anyone wanting to build generic USB chargers will probably implement this way in order to tap into the single largest device market around. Unfortunately, the mifi does not like the logic high on pins 2 and 3. I haven't yet sorted out why, but when it sees logic high on pins two and three, it refuses to go into charging mode.
The solution is to use a cable where pins 1 and 4 (5V and GND) are carried straight through. Pins 2 and 3 need to be disconnected from the charging source and shorted together at the Mifi end. If this was a miniUSB instead of a microUSB, it would be what is called a "charge only" cable. I have not found any vendors yet for a charge only microUSB cable so I went ahead and performed surgery on a standard microUSB cable. I took a standard USB cable, cut it and then connected it to a microUSB connector from an old Motorola bluetooth headset charger. Interestingly, the microUSB connector from the Moto charger already has pins 2 and 3 shorted together internally so all I had to do was connect 5V and ground and heat shrink tube the whole thing. With this cable I can charge the mifi from any generic USB port, including those on 12V lighter adapters, and rechargeable backup batteries. In addition, I can also connect the Mifi to my laptop to charge while continuing to access the Mifi via wifi.
Only word of caution... You really need to connect the Mifi to your computer using the standard data cable on occasion, say once per month. The reason is that it is only in this mode that you will receive notifications of S/W updates and/or the need to update your PRL. (preferred roaming list).

Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...

Apple - iOS 6 Whats New

My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

With my i phone 4 , the Push notifications doesn't work for apps like (fb viber , whatsapp etc ) it only works for the official apps like message even when im using the phone, has this probleme with the iOs 6.0.1 and also with the iOs 6.1

This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

When I go for restrictions my iPad mini want my pass code I fill it's recurarment it's say wrong please help me what I do....?

Hey there Ajjusingh,
It sounds like the passcode you are entering for your Restrictions is not working for you. According to the following article you will need to perform a factory restore to reset that passcode:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions (parental controls)

Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Create Calendar event from Mail on iPad Mini in landscape

I have an iPad Mini. While in landscape and creating a new calendar event from the body of an email (by selecting the date in the body) I'm unable to get the entire (it is truncated) screen allowing me to set the date and time of the event. It doesn't show the Done button in the upper right.
This works fine on my other devices (iPad and iPhone) in landscape, and also works fine on the iPad Mini in portrait, but it does not work in landscape.
Does anyone else have this problem?

This still works for me in iOS 6.1.3
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
