Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hello:
When I change the form of notice of any application or get out of the notification center and restart the iMac, is re-grinding and unconfigure all I have to do it again manually. That is, doesn't retain the changes I've made and I think it is a bug in Yosemite. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you.
Here are the instructions I got from AppleCare from an Apple Engineer. I'm not sure if the fix was specifically for my machine or if it'll work for someone else. Follow at your own risk.
1. Open the Library folder in your Home folder.
2. In the Library folder, open the Application Support folder.
3. Locate the folder named NotificationCenter. Drag this folder to the desktop.
4. Next, open the Terminal application.
Copy and paste each line of these commands into the Terminal window, in order. Press return after each line:
cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR`
rm -rf com.apple.notificationcenter
killall usernoted; killall NotificationCenter
5. Close the Terminal app.
6. Restart your computer.
The notification preference changes won't stick until you restart a 2nd time after this.
Hi Dan:
I don't know where he got that Apple engineer, but I assure you Terminal commands you gave me are useless because there are no such folders Yosemite.
So we will wait patiently for Apple to pull an update to fix this bug and others have left. Anyway, thanks for your answer.
Best regards. 🙂
It's the solution I got from AppleCare specifically for my machine (after a data capture) when the issue was escalated to an engineer.
I assume it wouldn't work for everyone. It's too bad that it didn't work for you, though it seems to be working for many in other threads. It seems to be a bug in Yosemite that only affects old user accounts, not new ones.
Hopefully it'll get fixed for everyone in the next update.
Actually, I'm on Yosemite and following Dan's instructions solved the issue for me. Executing the cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR` command sent me to a path under /var/folders/dd/, so DARWIN_USER_DIR must be a system config variable.
