 * Anyone having this issue? I did not get a notification to update to 3.5.2 Got
   an email from a WP Security website that there was a new version.
 * Also now I’m not getting any plug in update notifications at all. Even though
   I know that at least two plug ins do have available updates.
 * Any suggestions?
 * Thanks

 * – make sure you have not disables update notifications by adding some snippet
   in the functions.php file of your theme.
 * -deactivating ALL plugins (one-by-one) to find any problematic plugin(s).
 * — To rule out any theme-specific issue, try switching to the unedited default
   Twenty Twelve theme for a moment using the WP dashboard. If you don’t have access
   to your admin area, you can switch to the default theme by renaming your current
   theme’s folder in wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder
   name using via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host 
   provides.

 * Solved! The issue has to do with the CRON not running.
