[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1637654"] Not sure what "I go to notification center..." means. To remove apps from notifying you, you open System Preferences/Notifications and then remove the apps there. You didn't say what version of OS X you are using, but that is how it works in Yosemite, and I think it worked the same way in Mavericks. If what you did was to open Notifications on the desktop, all you removed were the current and aged notifications you've received, not removing the applications from the notifications list. 90% of the time, maybe more, you make behavioral changes in System Preferences, or in the application Preferences pane, not on the desktop. As for the rest, no system is "intuitive" if you don't take the time to learn how it works. Macs have NEVER been "intuitive," IMHO. I remember my first exposure to the early Apple machines where you had a blank screen, an apple icon in the top corner, a bar with nothing on it and a mouse with one button. I tried to get something going, clicking everywhere on the screen, got nada, zilch, nothing. Walked away and didn't try again for 20 years. Now I understand better how Apple thinks and could probably make that system work, but it does take learning. [/QUOTE]
