Push notifications for specific apps not working even though the badge updates (Facebook, Google etc.)

So this has been happening for months now. I was expecting iOS 5 to fix it, but it hasn't. Push notifications for specific apps do not work. Some come through just fine, but Facebook and Google+ in particular don't work correctly. Facebook push notifications seem to work when the notification is generated from an action performed on a mobile device (ie: someone writes on my wall from another iPhone); if they do the same thing on the desktop, the notification doesn't seem to come through.
As for Google+, I've never seen a single push notification come through as it should, even though I've seen other iPhones with the same app reciving these notifications with no issue.
This is particularly strange because the badge on the app icon usually updates (though it feels like fetch, not push), but the notifications simply don't make it into the notification center (or on the lock screen as they should). As I said, this has been happening for months, long before iOS 5, and the problem has persisted now that I'm running iOS 5.
I've checked and rechecked all notifiation settings for these apps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled them. I've called Apple support and they couldn't offer me any help. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
Thanks for your time.

I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems. I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well. I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix. I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account. I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
Any thoughts?

You cannot replace just the chip. If all of the various solutions suggested in Apple's support documents and here in these forums do not help, you will need to 1) take or send your iPhone to Apple for replacement, 2) pay to have an unauthorized third-party shop attempt repairs, or 3) attempt repairs yourself. The latter two options will void any further support from Apple.

When debugging, a for loop is not entered even though the number 6 is passed to "N".

I cannot figure out why a for loop is not entered when I debug it. When debugging a value of 6 is clearly passed to "N", the number of iterations the loop is supposed to execute. So when I debug, execution highlighting just parses right over the loop, even though I request to enter the loop. Everything inside of the loop is not executed. Have you experienced this before? - Any ideas?

As mentioned by "eh" auto-indexed arrays that are empty will cause this.
A "FOR loop" will itereate as many times as is indicated by the smallest number elements in any of its auto-indexed inputs.
When you watch it in execution-highlighting, you probably will see a "0" coming in on an auto-indexed input.

My screen on my printer is not working even though the set up process did work.

My brand new printer 6700 Wireless all in one. I set it up and it did the initial set up on the screen and printed out the alighnment sheet.
I then went to install the disk on my laptop and it told me to press the wireless light on the screen on the computer. I did several times and notheing happened. Nothing on the screen would light up. I can't even turn the power button off unless I unplug it.

If your printer is already connected to your router, skip the step of pressing the wireless light.

Some of the trackpad gestures like App Exposé and switching between fullscreen apps not working, even though I specifically set them on in system preferences. How do I fix this?

They were working up until today and I didn't update anything and my trackpad is still working otherwise.

I've tried looking in the Preferences menu, which had nothing that could help me.
PS In 10.6, there is a Kotoeri preferences box at the bottom of the first tab called "Show Predicted Candidates". Is this checked for you? (I think in 10.4 this is still in Japanese and might be different). In the third tab, there is also a setting related to the number of conversions. And in the last two tabs there are dictionaries that can be either open or closed. I gather you have tried all of these without success?

Push notifications, I believe, is only for iOS.
If it is for iOS, take a look at Using Apple push notifications with Digital Publishing Suite | Adobe Developer Connection

Is there a way to get push notifications for social apps on the Droid Maxx

Is there a way to get push notifications for social apps on the Droid Maxx? With text messaging, you will see a badge icon, but I wasn't sure if you could do that for social networks, too.

@cmabbott85,
I can definitely understand how important it can be to get your Facebook or Twitter notifications on your phone.
As @rcshnoor mentioned, each app does have the option to turn the notification on or off. You need to launch the App and go into the Menu. Then go to App Settings and make sure notifications are checked.

if you are subscribed to the Hardwell podcast... quickly open the Podcast app and delete the most recent Hardwell podcast from 3/22.
for some reason that's causing the crash. i've deleted and it works fine again.

TS1702 mailpro app, developer not responding, app not working, what's the next step?

mailpro
really useful hotmail, msn & the new outlook mail client
working fine until last week
tried all the stuff support recommends
switch phone on and off
delete app and reload app
contact developer
developer doesn't respond and now
the app's been taken down in the uk store
this is a paid app, we should expect something
for our money, either support from the developer,
or apple ( who took our money )
what's the next step?

thanks very much apple
you will do absolutely nothing about this ....
after a two week email discussion with your support team
you will not
a. contact the developer
b. offer a refund
c. give me an email address for customer complaints
I am disgusted at the attitude apple displays to its customers,
and the complete lack of support offered.
I can have one off telephone support for $49
....... for an app not working
I want a working app ( already paid for via apple app store)
or a refund for the non working app with no support
I will not be purchasing any more apple products in the future

After upgrading to Lion Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

After upgrading to Lion, Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if you can then send emails

Social App not working even after update from noki...

nokia n8 social loading feeds.
My wife and i have the same problem now, only last week she said my phone will not work on facebook the widget on main home screen will not load feeds at all, and the widget is now blank saying refresh all the time, so i linked the phone up to the computer and did a scan for new updates with nokia updater which you can download from nokia site.
Its now the 4th jan and the phones still will not work even after and update from a socail app,
nothing , facebook will load after a few pushes, and looks like its loading till it says loading feeds then it says the (wording unable to load news feeds)

Uninstall the social app and reboot your phone. Then go to software updates and reinstall from the offering given in the updates. I've uninstalled and reinstalled social twice and it has worked both times.

I've turned off push notifications for certain apps but the push notices still appear. Any idea why?

Hi there,
Apologies if this has been asked before.
My issue is not with notifactions not working, exactly the opposite. I have turned off notifications for several of the apps on my phone, but notifications still appear.
Is this a known problem? The main offender is an app called FreeAppADay.

I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems. I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well. I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix. I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account. I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
Any thoughts?
