Where did you create the VLANs? The 2950 is VTP client, so it will only learn the VLANs from a VTP server, if you have one. The 4506 is VTP transparent, so it will not learn VLANs at all - you have to configure them manually, and even then it will not update any other switch.

I guess you created the VLANs in the 4506. In that case, make the 2960 VTP transparent, and add the VLANs manually there as well.

Set your core switch up as vtp mode server and all access switches as vtp mode client

build the vlan's in the switch and you will see all vlan's propigated to the clients in the same domain.

This way you will not have to build seperate vlan databases on each and every switch in your enviroment.
