How to move notification alerts?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.

Thank you. I have updated my saved link to the macOS feedback web page

Seriously? I came here because having notifications in the top right corner drive's me crazy. I have a dual monitor setup, and I'd like the option to open notifications on my currently active screen. Also, it would be even better if I could make notifications draggable or be able to make notifications from different applications display on different parts of my screen.

Can any Apple representative make a comment on this? There are clearly many users who are significantly frustrated and disadvantaged by the restricted ability to configure notifications. I can somewhat understand the reluctance to provide an API in order to maintain stability, but to deny us both an API and basic configuration options... our rights to control what we see on our screens are being taken away!

I know this probably won't go over very well, but you could switch to Windows 10. By default the notifications are in the lower righthand corner. People have the opposite question with Windows 10 -- "How can I move the notifications to the top right?". The thing is, it can be done in windows.

When Apple switch to x86 processors, I became a bit of a fanboy. OSX was rock solid and I loved having a *nix command line. Life was great. Over the years OSX has become less stable and more of a dictatorship removing choice from the end user. This things have driven me away. Windows is not perfect but it has become a very stable OS (for the most part), and with the addition of "Windows Subsystem for Linux" it took away the one thing that I felt OSX still had the edge.

In the words of the Human Tourch, "Flame On!"

I'm surprised that this doesn't come up more. I find it infuturaiting how it covers search bars and various buttons in all sorts of apps. Lower right would be better - but I'd even rather just center right screen as there's almos no reason to ever click over there.

There currently is no way to move it. However, if you select snooze it will hide it for 5 min then reappear. If it was at the bottom then it would hide the dock for ppl that have it at the bottom. Apple decided it would be better at the top, but you can submit your idea to Apple on their website because it would be nice to have the option to move it.

This sort of thing is getting to be par for the course with Apple. They introduce a new "feature" which might have been nice, but I'm offered zero configurability and its default implementation impedes my workflow. So I have to spend effort figuring out how to completely disable whatever turd Apple has dropped in my lap most recently.

I now have "do not disturb" turned on 24/7, which disables this particular bit of malware. It started with my "media center" Mac Mini (for which the feature was entirely, offensively inappropriate from day 1) but as of now this "fix" is on all my machines with notification center.

P.S. I'm still running iTunes 10 on Yosemite, but it's a hack. Eventually it will stop working and I'll be forced to drop iTunes. For the first time in over twenty years I'm wondering how long before the OS itself leaves me in the same boat. Except, unlike with iTunes, there really isn't a viable alternative for the OS – yet.

Well expressed, marshaul. I agree. This is just one of so many issues across the entire OS. A once devoted user community is getting restless. @appleisbroken

Yes this is really annoying and I came here in hope of the answer also. Where have all the creative developers gone in Apple? The mobile phone is not everything to a lot of people, especially their long time Mac evangelists. You used to be able to open any Apple application (before they were apps) and just work it out. Now you have to google basic requirements. bob

I would also like to be able to configure this. I use the notifications the way, I think, Apple intended; to see when I have a new email or when a new message comes in. Sometimes I am trying to do something in my browser and the notifications are coming in fast and furious and I CAN'T CLOSE A TAB. It is so annoying. Or since I use two monitors with my mac, maybe I could select the notifications to come up in a different monitor.

If anyone can solve this mystery I desire to move the notifications too, they pop up when I am trying to browse. UGH!
