NOTIFICATIONS CENTER OSX

Dear All,
I seem to have stumbled upon a problem. I recently installed Mountain Lion, but Notifications Center (or rather its Icon) is always grey. Now I know this indicates it is in "do not disturb"-mode, but I can't seem to turn it off, so that I can use it normally again. I cannot get "into" Notifications Center by clicking on the Icon and I have tried the keyboard shortcut with the ALT key, but it doesn't do anything. It remains grey.
Can somebody please help me? Am I just being stupid and not seeing the most obvious of things, or does anybody else have this problem?
Please let me know.
And tanks in advance.

Have you tried a Safe Boot - sometimes resolves problems: restart holding down the shift key until the grey progress bar appears. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu.
And possibly a PRAM reset, other than that I'm stuck:
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore is not, in itself, a solution.
    First, empty the Trash, if possible.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
    Launch the built-in Terminal 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 and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
    The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
    The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

  • My Facebook "click to post" in the notification center is not working. (Mac OSX 10.8.3). what should i do? :(

    When i click the "click to tweet" button, it works, but when i click the "click to post", nothing happens---plus my twitter button wont work afterwards. so i have to restart my mac again. tried removing my fb account then adding it again, but still doesn't work. Any solutions?

    It is most likely because Notification Center alters the menu bar and the dock itself. My facebook and my twitter button won't work properly either, but when i double-click the buttons it works. but i can't understand why your twitter button works once but won't work again.

  • The share Button in Notification center of OSX Mountain Lion Does not let you tweet links

    By default a link in twitter is shortened .But in notification center when you try to tweet from the share link button the link is not shortened . This seems to be a bug

    Hadn't noticed that before. You could use a link shortener first like
    https://bitly.com
    but agree that's a bit inconvenient.

  • OSX Mountain Lion: Notification Center

    Hy
    I have a problem but unfortunately no solution found.
    I get no more emails in Notification Center displays.
    I unfortunately had to close on the x in the Notification Center clicked on the right side and since I get the mails still appear as banner or alert but not even in the notification center.
    I've tried changing the settings in the system settings but it unfortunately without visible success.
    Maybe one of you has an idea or a solution!
    As a solution, I see that I can fix it without deleting anything

    Hy thanks
    I had found the site already, unfortunately, could not be solved my problem.
    I get the emails just not back in the notification bar.
    I tried to get out and re-insert the mail in the system settings under notifications, but the mails are not back in the notification bar. 

  • Alert messages from Notification Center hang after using close button

    After opening my MacBook in the morning, Notification Center displays the alerts from my Calender (I realy like this new feature!).
    Problem
    When I click the Close Button on an Alert Message the Alert Message does not close but stops responding and stays displayed.
    The only way to get rid of it is to logout and login to OSX.
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    I am looking for a solution.
    All suggestions are welcome!
    Thanks,
      Chris

    Hi,
    Uploaded with Skitch!
    As you can see the System Preferences > Notification Pane talks about "Alerts" in a general way first
    Then it offers options on how the Notifications are displayed.
    I was presuming you were talking about the Notifications in the same general way and I was asking which option you were using
    Since my first post in this thread I have changes my Mail Notifications to Alerts (It seems to be the one with more issue)
    It does hang around until I deal with it
    It then send me to Mail but the Incoming mail item(s) is(are) no longer marked  as unread.
    This makes it a little difficult to check the generic Inbox rthat has five Accounts set up.
    I am not getting a spinning beach Ball and the Alert Style Notification goes away.

  • Why does iMessage continue to make sounds and display banners on my Macbook Pro (Retina) even though I have removed it from my notification center?

    I hate that my messages pop up while I'm watching Netflix, and I have finally removed Messages from my notification center. Yet, for some reason i still keep hearing the noise that lets me know I have a message, and I a still seeing badges pop up on my screen every time a new message comes in? What's the deal?

    I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
    1. Reinstalled OSX
    2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
    This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
    1. Turn Power off.
    2. Wait 15 seconds.
    3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
    4. Wait 15 seconds.
    5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
    6. Turn Power back on.
    Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
    and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.

  • Notification Center Missing?

    Hi,
    After a visit to the Apple Store in Tokyo with this MacBook , I came home and reinstalled OSX and upgraded other stuff. During this time I discovered that the Notification Center which I have on my iMac is missing from the Air. The icon is missing from the System Preferences. So, I really don't want to go thru a reinstall again, it's time consuming, but is there a way to get the Notification Center or do I just write it off as a missed opportunity? Ideas?  Thanx.

    As I can see, you are using OS X Lion on your MacBook Air, and Notification Center is a OS X Mountain Lion feature.
    As it looks like you have already purchased OS X Mountain Lion, just open App Store on the MacBook Air, go to Purchases tab, and download OS X Mountain Lion. While it's downloading, make a backup of your data with Time Machine and/or Carbon Copy Cloner, and check that your applications are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
    When the download finishes, the OS X installer will appear, so follow the steps

  • Third party apps in notification center

    I use Thunderbird as my email client (dont like the native one in osx) and I was wondering if anyone was able to add that app (or any other third party app) to the notification center. I dont see anything to be able to add any apps but maybe I'm missing something....

    As to iTunes, you can comment to Apple on the matter here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    For third-party applications, that's up to the developer of the application. Apple has provided an API to the Notification Center and that's all they can do. The developer is the one that has to implement it.
    Regards.

  • Unwanted notification on OSX Mavericks

    Hello,
    everyday i see this unwanted notification on my Macbook Air updated to OSX Mavericks:
    http://i62.tinypic.com/b9j8n7.jpg
    (it's a very very broken Italian, like in spam or thereabouts)
    I tried to control the list of allowed apps in the notification center and i ran an antivirus, but it didn't find anything and I have no idea of what is producing this notification. Can someone help me find out how to discover its origin and remove it? Thanks!

    I noticed another suspicious thing. Look at this:
    I never installed SafeEraser! Why are all this processes taking place? How can i stop this?

  • How do I add tap to tweet to my notification center on my macbook pro?

    My friend has the same MacBook Pro as me and she has the 'tap to tweet' option in her notification center while I don't. How do I add it?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Open System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars, press the + button and add the Twitter account. Then, Tap to Tweet will appear on the Notification Center. This only works with Mountain Lion and later

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Maps does not show up at all in Notification Center why

    Hello, I am trying to get Maps to show up in notification center so i can enable notifications for them. I do not see it anywhere on my wifes phone but I see it on my phone.

    The way to fix the issue is to log out of iCloud on your main computer and sign back in. Then go to the new maps app on the desktop and send yourself directions to your iOS device. When you do this, this will activate that notification option you do not see in your notification center on your iOS device. This is what happened for me. I figured it out by doing this myself. For some reason doing this activates maps to show up in notification center.
