Hi, I'm currently running OSX Mavericks 10.9.4 on my 15 inch, mid-2012 MacBook Pro. Days ago, I subscribed to CNN's "CNN alerts on Mac" through their website, nonetheless, I have not received any notification in my Notification Center from CNN, even though CNN notifications are turned on in System Preferences. Does anybody know what's the issue here? Thanks a lot.
Open the Library folder in your home folder by holding down the option key and selecting
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Navigate in the usual way to each of the following items and move it to the Trash, but don't empty yet:
Application Support/NotificationCenter
Caches/com.apple.Safari/RemoteNotifications
Caches/SafariNotificationAgent
Safari/RemoteNotifications/Permissions.plist
Log out or restart the computer. Empty the Trash. Resubscribe to the notifications.
Thanks.
Hello Linc Davis, I've performed all the steps mentioned above and resubscribed to CNN's notifications but I still don't receive anything from them. Any suggestions? Thanks.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Notifications tab.
Make sure Deny is not selected to the right of CNN.
If Allow was already selected, select CNN then click Remove.
Then sign up again for CNN alerts here > http://edition.cnn.com/macalerts/
If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist file to the Trash.
Then sign up again for CNN alerts from the link above.
Can you get notifications from any other site?
Hello Carolyn, I did all of the above and moved the file "com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist" to the trash. Should I also empty the trash and deny and remove "CNN Breaking News" from the Notifications panel in Safari? Because when I tried to resubscribe to the notifications, I was informed that "CNN alerts are active."
I allowed thefreedictionary.com to send me push notifications to test if I can receive notifications from other sites, but until now, I have not yet received any notification from thefreedictionary.com.
Are the sites shown in the Notifications tab of the Safari preferences window?
Yes. And both of them are allowed.
Open the Notifications pane in System Preferences (not Safari preferences) and select Safari on the left. Is an alert type enabled?
This is really weird, but Safari AND CNN both have "Show in Notification Center" enabled on the Notifications pane in System Preferences.
Alert type?
Banners. Both.
Do you get other kinds of notifications, such as incoming mail?
I do get incoming mail notifications.
CNN Alerts on Mac not appearing.
