When I try to scroll down to see my notification center it does not apper. How do I make it work?

Question

I went to the apple home page and was looking for apple accessories and I learned that the iapd had a notification center... I tried to make it work with my mail or messages but it does t work ....I'm not sure why. I have an iPad 2 so it should have it, I go to notification is settings but just for sounds or alerts. Its suppose to let you personalize your alerts and all..

Answer 1

Firstly make sure your iPad is updated to latest ios 5.0.1.
On your iPad click the settings icon and in the left column you will see Notifications as the forth option.
Tap that.
The right hand column now cascades to show setting options that you may modify/customize.
For e-mail I suggest you set to top panel to By Time
Below that are a list of Apps that are automatically available to receive notifications, however these NOT automatically setup so its a bit misleading.
At the very least you should see Mail /Messages / Calendar and Reminders.
You may also have a few third a party apps added such as Skye or various RSS readers.
The third panel has apps that you can manually ADD to notifications if you want .
Now then tap on the the Mail icon (middle panel) to open the configuration pane
Slide the top button next to Notification Centre to ON
Then tap show to set number of unread items (e-mails to be visible. If you receive lots of e-mail you might set this to 10 or even 20  Unread items)
In the alert Style pane you have three views
Set this to the middle one Banners
Turn Badge App Icon , Show Preview and View in lock screen on.
Now Tap the radio button at the top of the Column to return to the Notifications App list
Go through the list of Apps you want to turning on each one you want in turn
When your selection is complete tap the edit button in the top right hand corner and this locks to Done.
Now tap the home button your iPad.
Place a finger on the bar at the top of the screen containing the time /battery and wifi condition and in a continuous movement slide your finger downward (no pressure needed)
You will now find a cascading sheet (blind like !) descend containing your notifications.
Now tap the sleep button on your iPad . When you receive your next e-mail a note will appear on your lock screen.
You can now slide a finger across that note just like you would to unlock the IPad to be taken DIRECTLY to that e-mail within the Mail client app.
That's it really.
