Settings for notification center constantly reset

Hi,
my Mac always resets the settings for the notification center. Sometimes this happens after a restart, more often after a crash.
I couldn't find any solution for this via Google.
Does anyone else have this problem and if so, have you found a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
          Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
           ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

    It may answer your question. NC in Mountain Lion is a bit inconsistent. Hopefully fixes coming soon.

  • Swipe for Notification Center and Control Center not working after using Window Zoom

    I'm using iOS 8.0.2 on an iPhone 6 and have noticed that after using the Window Zoom (Accessibility feature 3-finger double-tap), I cannot swipe down for Notification Center nor swipe up for Control Center when unlocked (i.e. in Home screen or within an app screen). However, when the iPhone is locked, the swipe down for Notification Center and swipe up for Control Center is okay. It just doesn't work when unlocked. And the only way to rectify the problem is to reboot the phone.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    I have figured out the solution to all of our problems!!! We can keep the zoom function ON!!!! Yay!
    Step one. Turn back on the beloved zoom function.
    step two. Tap screen with 3 fingers.
    step three. Select window zoom. (If already selected move on to step Quatro)
    step qautro. Select Resize lens.
    and for the moment you've all be waiting for... Drum roll..
    the grand finale step. IS...
    shrink the window to the smallest size.
    AFter you have done these 5 steps, you can thoroughly enjoy having all three functions at once. If you switch back to Full Screen Zoom (if that be your preference) the notification and control centers will remain functional! Bon apetit!
    i have been successful enlarging the window while keeping the centers functioning by making sure the window is in the shape of a square.

  • No pull down for notification center since updating to iOS 5.0.1

    I recently (Nov 11, 2011) updated my iPhone 4 (model MC605B) to iOS 5.0.1 and no longer have a pull-down for the notification center. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix? I updated my iPad (original model) without any problems. The pull-down works perfectly on my iPad.

    I agree. This is the first I have heard of this issue.

  • How to embed applescript into a shell script for notification center

    I have managed to cobble this together:
    You can run it in your Terminal, it is harmless, and will output results that will show you a notification from notification center:
    I have items on my pasteboard as the results of a script, I want to pbpaste them into the below command, but can't get the syntax right.  I am not objectionable to string concatenation and building or whatever it takes.
    osascript -e 'display notification "The url(s) are on your clipboard from my.app" with title "my.app has finished" subtitle "Some Sub title"'
    Ideally, I want to put `pbpaste` in the "Some title" section, but I get the literal string. I try creating a variable, and get that literal string.
    I tried building the entire string up as one variable, which in the Terminal echo'd out and works, but in Notification Center, I get the actually literal variable.  It's mainly a bash script, so the context witch to AppleScript i being a pain in the rear.
    Suggestions? Any master out there that this makes any sense to?

    As it stands, and the way you have your notification structured, this is the output from the notification center. I did an echo "From the clipboard" | pbcopy before I ran the following script. It uses a Bash function, osascript HERE document, and shows how to pass variables to the function, and receive them in AppleScript. If you want substring text that is not the result of pbpaste, then you can either make the string inside the AppleScript, or pass the string in as a variable.
    To get this output, I used the following Bash/Osascript combination:
    #!/bin/bash
    #osascript -e 'display notification "The url(s) are on your clipboard from
    #my.app" with title "my.app has finished" subtitle "Some Sub title"'
    function notification () {
      `osascript <<-AppleScript
            set txt1 to "The URL(s) are on your clipboard from "
            set txt2 to " has finished"
        set appName to "$1" as text
        set subStr to "$2" as text
        set noteStr to txt1 & appName
        set titleStr to appName & txt2
        tell application "System Events"
            display notification noteStr with title titleStr subtitle subStr
            delay 1 -- give notification time to fire
        end tell
        return quit
    AppleScript`
    appName="foo.app"
    #echo $appName
    subTitle="$(pbpaste)"
    #echo $subTitle
    notification "${appName}" "${subTitle}"
    exit 0

  • Available apps for notification center

    What apps are available in the notification center on an iPhone (iOS 7)? More specifically, is find my iPhone app available? I want to set up my phone so that I get a banner alert whenever "find my iPhone" apps is tracking my location.

    The Find My iPhone app is not what is doing the track. The Find My iPhone app is only a way to track another iPhone from yours, if you know the Apple ID and password to log into it with. If you want to see any type of notification to see if another phone is tracking your phone, you can go into Privacy, Location Services, Find My iPhone and you can turn on the Status Bar Icon to see the location services icon if someone is tracking that phone from another device. Otherwise, there is no other way to show this, even in Notification Center.

  • How do I change the default settings for notifications/reminders i Calender?

    Hi,
    Every time I want to enter a new activity in Calender, the small window shows up and I can put in all the details. Somehow the default setting regarding the notifications is that Calender wants to sent me one reminder with email and one with message without sound (free translated from swedish..).
    I find this quite annoying since I never want to get a reminder in my inbox. Does anyone know how I can take away these defalut settings?
    (I´ve been inside settings in Calender and took away whatever reminder-settings there were, but no change..)
    In case it matters, I use a gmail account for email and calender.

    My window looks like this:
    or like this if I choose "Notiser", reminders:
    I´ve got Calender 6.0

  • 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.

  • Not getting the weather, stock, calendar widget in the Notification Center, Today's tab in iOS 7

  • Does anyone know why the text preview still shows in notification center when show preview is turned off in settings

    I have my text message preview turned off for notification center but text preview still shows anyone know a way to fix this problem

    Have you tried a reset. This will not affect your data, it is just like rebooting your computer. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if that will help.

  • 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.
