Why cant ios apps have notifications off by default?

EVerytime I install or update apps they end up having notifications I have to turn off.
IIt's the worst part of owning an ipad and iphone for my wife and I. We hate all the notifications.
Can or will Apple change this policy?
We have a few app notifications on but not all.
Even when I install and the app asks if I want notifications on

11, with 16 slots on each one.
Once you've filled all the spaces in all 11, any further apps downloaded will have nowhere to be displayed.
Obviously you can make alot more space by using folders - you can put up to 12 apps in a folder.

  • Why cant unget apps with the iphone 3g?

    Why cant i get apps with the iphone 3g. It always either says it is incompatible with the iphone or it says it requires a higher ios thing

    More than likely the app you are trying to download requires an iOS higher than iOS 4.2.1, which is the highest iOS you can put on the iPhone 3G. It is up to the developer regarding support for older iOS, and most have gone past iOS 4.2.1. The only alternative is the purchase of a new phone, or not use the app.

  • Facebook For iOS App Push Notifications Not Working

    Been seeing a lot of Threads for this problem but with no proper solution.
    Ever since I updated my Facebook App to v9.0, I havent had any push notifications come to my phone. I've tried uninstalling/deleting the app & other connected apps (Paper, FB messenger) , logging out of the iOS integration, Resetting my phone, etc. but nothing's worked. The App doesn't even ask me if I want to Activate Notifications anymore when I Re-Install it.... 
    The Phone Notifications are set to show in the lock screen & all, and the Push Notifications in the app are set to push for "All Notifications", but On the Web client I noticed that I had "Some notifications" listed in the settings (and I can't change those on the web, because it tells you to change them in the app) . The only way I know i have Notifications now is through the App Badge,, via Email or through Paper's Notification setup (But i still dont get all of them) ...
    I wonder if it could be a server issue on Faceobook's End. There has to be some way to fix this problem....Help!!!

    Hi C_S1,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are having some issues with Facebook notifications on your iPhone. It sounds like you have already done some great troubleshooting. I suggest looking at the Troubleshooting notifications section of the following article just to verify your previous steps.
    iOS: Understanding notifications
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
    Troubleshooting notifications
    Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
    Note: Notifications use Wi-Fi only when a cellular connection is unavailable. Firewalls and proxy servers may affect your ability to receive notifications. For more information, see Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
    If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
    Verify that the app supports notifications.
    After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
    Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
    I hope this helps,   
    -Joe

  • WHY does updating apps have to be so convoluted?

    Okay so I've got a bunch of apps needing new updates, which the "App Store" notifies me of with it's icon on the iPad. Plugging the iPad into my computer supposedly there's a way to update these in iTunes? Oh nooooo.... You can't update apps like you would update your podcasts, or music, calendars, etc. etc. No that would make too much sense! Instead you HAVE to do it on the iPad. And then what? The iPad will update iTunes on the computer?
    Doesn't make sense Apple.

    Really? Then why when you get an email notifying you that a post was deleted does the email read "Deleted by Apple"?
    The forums are moderated by some Apple employees. These moderators are doing forum administrative jobs one of which is to monitor for posts which violate the Terms of Use as is, unfortunately, necessary on any public forum. (i.e., spam, flames, trolls, speculation, abuse, etc.). See the Terms of Use for details.
    Sometimes, an Apple employee might visit the forums to get some insight to how a product is doing or, possibly, correct misinformation, but this isn't a regular or predictable occurrence. I, myself, have never seen this happen.
    The bottom line is that, if you want problems reported so they are seen by those who can fix them, then report them to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html. This mechanism also supports a way for Apple to contact you if they need more information to solve a problem.

  • Why cant ios 7 be put down in memory

    I really want IOS 7 on my i pod touch[4th gen]but not enough memory.Why is this and can it be changed???

    GuisedmaNtis, what are you saying? The original poster says he has a 4G iPod.
    As Apple announced in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod touch
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Why does iOS 7 have so many problems? HELP ME

    So when I downloaded iOS 7, everytime I opened an app a message would repeatedly pop up saying something about push notifications and to connect to iTunes.
    So I connected to iTunes...no help.
    I read on here to restore my phone and that it would solve the problem and as much as I didn't want to I restored my phone.
    Now that I've restored my phone I can't download my back up back to my phone because iTunes can't connect to the iTunes store.
    When I try to activate my phone manually it says the activation is invalid and won't let me activate.
    What is wrong with iOS 7 and why did apple even make it avaliable for download with all these problems?
    My phone has never been jailbroken and has stayed 100% legal so I dont see what the problem could possibly be.
    If ANYONE has any way I can get a hold of apple to get this problem solved please tell me. Since my phone doesn't work anymore I can't call, so phone numbers will be of no help.

    Look in your settings at apps that refresh in the background, and turn off ones you dont need. Also apps need to be updated for teh new OS so there will be bugs. Turn off location settings you dont need. get to know the new OS. Personally I am getting quite good battery life, but I did do some adjustments.

  • Why are iOS apps appearing in iBooks on my Mac ?

    Hello,
    I got a problem with iBooks application on my Mac (Mac mini mid 2011, OS X 10.9).
    Recently, I noticed I had lots of icons which are not books or pdf files in my iBooks library, but apps I downloaded on my iPhone from the app store. You can see it on the attached screen shots.
    They appear as 'downloading', but they never download…
    I tried to quit and launch again iBooks, restart my Mac mini… but nothing changed.
    Do you have an idea of how I could fix it ?
    (Without reinstalling the system would be better…)
    Thank you.
    Guillaume

    You can backup your iTunes library any number of ways. An external hard drive using Time Machine or any other backup software would be one way. You can also backup the library to DVD. Read both of these articles.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1382
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751
    Of course you can always download the apps again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID that you purchased them with.

  • Why does Pages app have no 'labels' template?

    Why does "Pages" have no 'labels' template?

    That bug was introduced in Pages 5.1. This workaround:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24857600#24857600
    ... gets rid of the com.apple.MediaLibraryService process and also brings memory usage by Pages itself back in line. Involves removing (should archive them and restore prior to applying a software update) a number of plug-ins, may or may not affect functionality (I have not noticed anything, apart from making the computer usable again).
    Current version of Numbers is also affected; without this "fix," a second com.apple.MediaLibraryServicelaunches, also consuming more than 1 GB of real memory, and Numbers itself uses multiples of the memory it should. Removing the files described also restores Numbers to normal functionality.

  • Why do my apps have square icons??

    Im not sure if this is right, but the apps I downloaded have square icons! Have a look!

    Only other thing I would suggest is trying to reinstall the apps, or even restore the firmware.. if you can't cope with it that is.

  • DataProvider syntax error -why cant 2 components have the same dataProvider

    Hi,
    I am getting the following error:
    Multiple Initializers for property 'dataProvider' (note:
    'dataProvider' is the default property of
    mx.controls.TitleList').
    setup
    i have two components one that is a lineChart the other is a
    titleList. for each I have identified the dataProvider property as
    the same arrayCollection (dataPoints) so my code looks like:
    <mx:LineChart
    id="linechart"
    dataProvider="{ dataPoints }" .... other properties>
    for both components. I had this same error when i tried to
    add a legend component yesterday so it is not limited to just these
    two components. I tried instantiating a variable as a type
    dataProvider, so that it was not being instantiated twice, but no
    such primitive type was available via the auto-complete code
    function. I am not sure what else to try. Thanks,
    Jed

    Greg,
    Thanks again, I figured out the problem. In the mxml I was
    using the category axis tag without having a parent horizontal axis
    tag. So for others here is how a chart needs to be structured.
    correct syntax:
    <LineChart id="linechart1" dataProvider=" {
    myArrayCollection } ">
    <mx:horizontalAxis>
    <!--use the category axis tag to tell the chart what value
    in your array collection you want to use for the x axis-->
    <mx:CategoryAxis categoryField="x"/>
    </mx:horizontalAxis>
    <mx:series>
    <!--Use the line series within a series tag to tell the
    LineChart which y field it should use to draw the line-->
    <mx:LineSeries id="yourFirstYvalues" yField="y"/>
    </mx:series>
    </mx:LineChart>
    <mx:Legend dataProvider = "linechart1" />

  • Why do some apps have fonts that cannot be reduced.

    Waether channel covers just 25% of the app page and i cannot move to see the rest. NYt comes in as way too large. I ahve already tried magaing the font form the settings screen hut i get nowher.

    Contact the developer of the app. Support for that feature
    must be included by the developer when writing the software.

  • Why will my apps have to be deleted to change mys ettings?

    every time i try to change the settings on how i manage my music or videos on my ipad2 a message pops up saying all my apps and data will be deleted. will it really delete everything, i dont want to find out the hard way

    They should not if everything works correctly.
    I don't know about you but I never trust my data to everything working corectly so I always backup first before an upgrade. In fact I do it at least twice. In the case of my phortos I do it even more then that.
    The installer will remove applications that are not compatable with Mavericks. You can check your applications for compatablitiy at http://roaringapps.com/apps

  • Why deadlines in Reminders appear differently in iCloud web and in iOs app?

    In the iCloud web app, when I set a new reminder, a "deadline" can be added. In the iOs app, this deadline is visible, but if I create a new reminder in the iOS app I can only set an alarm date but no deadline, which appear in a different line. In other words, reminders created in the web app have "deadlines", reminders created in the iOS app have "alarm date". In the iOS app, the list is sorted by deadline, not alarm date, I can't find anything. How can Reminders be useful if I can't work in the web app and the iOS app at the same time?
