Notification Centre does not Remember Settings

I was on the phone with tech support yesterday and was explaining this was one of the issues I was having. He walked me through these exact same steps. All seemed fine(at first) but this morning notifications are back to how they were set previously. Quite frustrating.

Worked like a charm for me, thank you!!

Same issue here! Also glad I am not alone - was about to go insane with all these reboots and checks.

MacBook Air Mid 2011

Will use Apple's Feedback (hopefully a fix will come soon)

Thank you. This worked for me. The key thing people might be missing is they have to:

1. Retart two times.

2. Change the notification to their desired settings.

3. Restart again to make sure they stuck.

Mine did.

I have this issue too with a mid-2010 iMac running OS X 10.10. Notifications worked fine before upgrading to Yosemite. Now every time computer is shut down / restarted notifications stop working. They will start working again if I go into Safari prefs, notifications and select "Deny" the reselect "Allow" for the desired notifications. That will only work till the next reboot. Strangely, the desired notifications always appear as "Allow" even though they aren't working after a fresh reboot.

I suggest a call to tech support. When you initiate a request via Apple's support center, you will most likely have the option of indicating the problem is due to Yosemite. Click or select that you "bought it" and if it works as it did for me you will be offered a one-time freebie support session. Ask for a phone back. If you select chat, since you need to restart many times, chat won't work and you will be asked to give a phone number so you can be called by Apple.

If it is the problem I had it will involve some pruning of folders in hidden directories and many restarts, plus continual re-configuring of Notification Center. So far it works. Remains to be seen if the fix stays fixed. Compliments are due the tech who worked with me. We all know that not every new release can go out perfect.

same problem here. Just a real pain in the rear to be in a meeting with a client have have unexpected notifications popping up every where.

I have the same issue and just almost throw my Macbook in the bin. Apple fix it please!

Same issue for me on my iMac (and about 50% of the time on my iPhone) as well. So frustrating!!!

Every time I restart I have to remember to go into notifications and reorder my list to my liking along with changing everything from the useless "banners" to "alerts". Why does Apple hate "alerts" so much?

I will try the solution posted in the previous page and hope it works but my hatred for Yosemite grows by the day. Even with the icon/font fixes it's still the eye melt-ingest and ugliest thing I've ever seen. And the glitches and bugs like this makes me regret not keeping Mavericks. Yosemite is the iOS 7 and 8 of OS's. 😟

Aalso notification centre problem. Even though I configured in SystemPrefs/ Notifciation for all Apps (except Games) to use Notiification Centre Panel it is blank but Today panel works fine. Is this likely to be the same problem as not remember setting? Somebody has suggested elsewhere even though shows Allow you need to select deny the app and then reselect but not sure what this means.

The fix found on http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=20240195#post20240195 worked for me. The key is the double reboot.

I did what was suggested by BlossOz and it has so far worked for me. I'm still hating Yosemite more and more each day though.

Hi,

had the same problem. This worked for me: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1803815

Still, this is a bug that Apple should IMHO fix with 10.10.1...

Cheers,

Also having this issue. No Notifications whatsoever, despite everything turned on correctly.
