How to get widgets in OS X notification center?

I just downloaded Yosemite and am trying to set up my notification center. When I click the Edit button in the Today view, the only item available is Social. Where are all the widgets that are supposed to come preinstalled with Yosemite?

When you open the Notification Center you will see another icon in the bottom right corner. That opens the Preferences. You may find that you have turned off the other preinstalled notifications. If that is not the case click the grid icon at the top of the window and then select the Extensions preferences and check there that the "Today" items are active.

Some of us that have upgraded from Public Beta 6 to Final Version have seen the widgets go missing, I've read on many different forums already about the same problem. Only the Today, Tomorrow & Social are there but Social won't work. None of the other widgets are there anymore even though they were there in PB6, after upgrade though, they have gone missing.

I wish Apple would tell us how to fix this widget problem or issue an update quickly to fix this issue. I liked the widgets in the beta and the ability to post quickly to my social sites. A buddy of mine has them missing after upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite also, so it seems to be affecting alot of people.

I think if you play around with donalds suggestions a bit more you might work it out...


For example in Settings-> Extensions-> All -> Check "Today"


Then go Settings-> extensions -> Today -> click the ones you want...


You might also need to go as he said: Settings -> Notifications -> Check the relevant items are ticked...

Example for calendar you might want:

Show notifications on lock screen

Show in notification center
