Hello All.
I have been having a problem with notifications on 10.8, where the notication window freezes (mouse turns to beachball when over window) and the notication menu item does not work.
Apart from restarting, how would I force the notification system to restart.
Most recently, An App Store update notificationappeared, and now that corner of my screen is unsuable.
MacBook Air, OS X Mountain Lion
I just did that. It asked me to select an account, so I selected mine. I will test it right NOW.
after test: (notification center slightly slower, and so is the computer, but I'm sure this is a one-time thing)
everything works, the moment I press send it glitches.
After force quit: I press tweet: it glitches I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
believe it or not, (for those of you who are having this problem with twitter and/or Fb) when you go to Safari and press share>twitter it freezes too!
Same problem here on a 2013 MacBook Pro 15! Most of the time notification center freezes after wake up from sleep mode! I am astonished that Apple did not fix this bug yet. Seems that more people are affected by this problem!
Let's all take a deep breath. This problem has been reported for over a year. Apple hasn't prioritized a fix, perhaps because not many people are affected. This is a very short thread for a year-long problem. At this point I don't expect to see a fix for 10.8 before the new Mavericks OS is released.
There have been remidies (work-arounds) are in this thread. Namely, open Activity Monitor and quit NotificationCenter. Even better, +Psi'ssolution: KillNotificaitonCenter.app. I compliled my own version and it works great.
I've been running into this problem myself lately. I was able to consistently make it so that I couldn't get to the Dock or app switcher (cmd-tab) by clicking on the Notification Center icon. I removed the .db file in ~/Library/Application Support/NotificationCenter followed by a log out/log in and that problem went away. I hope it sticks, but figured I would toss this out there for anyone else experiencing the problem to try as well.
Looks like Mavericks has solved this one for me. Two days and no freezing.
Same for you guys?
Yup! Fixed for me. I can finally retire the kill app that lives in my dock...
