Notifications settings keep reverting to default

[Forkjulle]

On my rMBP, every time I remove Game Center / Twitter / Facebook / etc from my Notifications window, they re-appear after my machine has rebooted.

It's as if the settings are simply not saved / remembered.

Anyone else getting the same thing? If so, then how did you fix it?

Yup,

Seems to affect a lot of people.

For now there is no fix. I have googled and seen mentions of this after one of the DP's or PB's in August or July, but not after that. Seems like the bug has returned, which seems to indicate something went wrong at Apple while compiling the final build: forgetting to merge the fix implemented in the later DP's with the final version.

Same is also happening to other places, like Image Capture scan settings

Ah seems there are lots of threads scattered around, i'll sub to this one too, same thing happened to me. I've tried every trick in the book but nothing, must be related to an old preference somewhere because doesn't happen in Mac mini.

I found this on Discussions Apple and it worked for me:

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.
