Why am I getting double popup alerts for Google Calendar events on iPhone?

This is happening on both mine and my wife's iPhones (mine is a 4 and hers is a 3GS) which are both on the latest iOS (6.0.1). This is what I've figured out:
On iPhones: Default is to set no alerts/reminder for calendar events
On Google Calendar: Default is to set a popup alert 1 hour before event & email 1 hour before event
When I create a new event on my iPhone: It saves with no alerts set, then after uploading to google calendar it shows as having two alerts 1 hour before the event. If I go into Google Calendar, it shows that 1 popup and 1 email are each set for 1 hour before the event.
When I create a new event on in Google Calendar: It saves with 1 popup and 1 email are each set for 1 hour before the event per the default settings. If I go to my iPhone, it shows that I have 2 alerts, both for 1 hour before the event.
So it seems that the iPhone is seeing both the popup and email alerts and creating two popup alerts on my phone!
Is there anyway to fix this? I've tried setting up the calendar on my iPhone through Gmail account, Exchange account and CalDav account and it's all the same.

I figured it out. It has to do with which calendars you want displayed. Duplications come from multiple calender selections.

Can't set Calendar Alerts for Google Calendar

I have several Google Calendars for my work and personal schedules. I've used Apple Calendar (formerly iCal) on my Mac, and the Calendar app on my iPhone to interact with my Google Calendars for years with no issues.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can no longer set alerts on any Google Calendar events. When I edit a Google Calendar event using Apple Calendar, I can change any field, including the 'Alert' settings. However, when I click to save my changes, the alert settings are entirely removed.
In Calendar Preferences, I can set a default alert that applies to all my Google Calendars, but I can't change the settings for any individual calendar event. If I attempt to do so, then Apple Calendar removes all alerts from the event.
UPDATE: It seems the problem is that Google Calendar doesn't know what to do with a "Message with sound" alert type. You can use "Message" and it works fine (with no sound obviously).

Strange, I am experiencing the exact problems you describe, however it doesn't matter whether the alert is set as "message" or "message with sound".
By default, events created in a Google calendar have an alert of "mesage, 30 minutes before". If I try to change the time, add a new alert, or remove the default alert, inevitably it get's reset to the default state.
Furthermore, If I change the alert using Google Calendar in a web browser, the event in Calendar (aka iCal) doesn't get updated, it stays at 30 minutes. Sometimes I receive the alert an hour before anyway, despite what Calendar indicates. Very Frustrating.

Why did I get an Emergency Alert for the Nemo Blizzard at 4 am?

This @^%^!*#*!&!@ system just sent a blaring alert to my iPhone at 4 am EST warning me about a blizzard I already knew about, literally scaring me out of bed. Now, after some middle-of-the-night research, I understand it's the FEMA IPAWS system (http://www.fema.gov/integrated-public-alert-warning-system). What bureaucratic knucklehead at FEMA decided that we needed this alert at 4 am?
I wonder how many thousands of other iPhone users who didn't even know they had the Emergency Alerts feature are wondering why they've been jostled awake this morning... and have turned the feature off as a result. (Settings==>Notifications==>Government Alerts)
How impossibly stupid can FEMA be? Sending the message at 8 pm last night would have been amusing (there were already 6 inches on the ground, and everyone had been talking about the storm for 2 days). Now I want to rip someone's lungs out...
Apple, is this the right way for me to find out about some obscure little feature that was included in a recent release - turned on?

Actually, I also got a FEMA warning via the same system on Thursday night, which was completely appropriate. But sending an alert with a klaxon-like sound effect at 4 am is just ponderously dumb. It's not like it's a flood where I might need to evacuate. I'M AT HOME ASLEEP like the thousands of others who were jolted awake by this ill-timed alert.
It reminds me of when AT&T used to wake me at 7 am on Saturday mornings because their big overnight mainframe batch program had completed at 6 am and immediately sent out a notice that I was 60% through my hours for the month. Nice message, dumb timing.
Big organizations like FEMA and AT&T should be capable of assessing the time-criticality of their broadcast messages, and schedule them appropriately. Who at FEMA decided that it was critical to issue a warning in the middle of the night?!?!

How do I get a "second alert" option in calendar - using gmail w/ exchange

Hi -
I am using gmail calendar and syncing it via "push" of microsoft exchange.
I am able to set a single "alert" for a calendar, but not a second alert (as the native iphone calendar will allow, as does gmail calendar").
How do I set a second alert for a calendar event (inside the iphone)?
Bonus question: there seems to be some nuances to how alerts are transferred between gmail calendar and the iphone - for instance where the event was originally entered, etc. Anyone have documentation on how that works???
Thanks!!!

I am not aware of a setting in the phone for a second calendar alert, except if you try and snooze the original alert. However, I'm sure you are asking for it to alert until you acknowledge it, correct?

Why do I keep getting alerts for shared calendars?

I have a calendar set up in Calendar, it syncs with iCloud.
My wife has a clanedar set up in Calendar, it syncs with iCloud.
Both calendars are shared, so we can see what the others availability is on a given day at a given time.
But why do I keep getting alerts on my iPhone (and only on my iPhone) for my WIFE's events? I've turned off the "show shared calendar events" button in the calendar preferences on my iPhone, but I'm *still* getting alerts for all her events. I don't need this, I don't want this, I turned it off... why is it still happening?
My iCloud calendar is defaulted to my calendar. I do not get alerts on my iMac for her events, only on the iphone. Can anyone help? I never want to see her events unless I manually go and look at them on my calendars or in iCloud calendar.

Why is ical creating unwanted alerts for all-day events?

If anyone can point to what might be going wrong here I'd be grateful. This is becoming a daily irritant. I have a number of all-day events listed for most week days in my diary which help me to know what is happening that day with childcare for my son. I don't need alerts to be reminded of these - they are just notes I put to myself in adavnce that let me know how my day is configured. Now, I sync my ical from my home imac to my work imac, my macbook, my iphone and my ipad. On none of these devices do I have default alerts set. I never set any alerts for any of these 'events'. But then, at 9am the day before each one I get an alert. In fact, I get a 9am alert for any all-day event, regardless of whether I set an alert for then, or at all. As I say, I've checked all devices and the default alert a=on all is set to 'none'. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I stop it?

Thanks Malcolm.I'm afraid this issue started for me after updating to iOS6!

Why do i get the popup: The iTunes file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available.

Why do i get this popup on my Windows 8 PC: The iTunes file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available. My iPhone will not play in my car since I got this popup.

Can you play music on your phone, while not connected to anything?
- If yes, check with support for your car. Maybe the radio cannot rexognize the iPhone anymore.
- If no, check your pc for free space.
I don't work with W8, maybe it denies iTunes the ability to write files.
Think there has to be made some libary file for the files that are on your phone.
Maybe you are able to download some files you bought in the store to your phone directly. Could try again in your car then.
If you never bought a file, there is a free weekly song every week.
Only have to fill out you membership details.

I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s

I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s from AT&T. I do not download anything huge at all.
I looked into it and figured out that the phone dials out nightly at 12:29am every night. I went into my settings and went to general..about..diagnostics and useage..then diagnostics and useage data to see this. I then clicked don't send...but I am still getting useage alerts. Can anyone help me please...
Thanks

Honestly, from reading the thread linked, they all come off as a bunch of whiney people that cannot be bothered to help themselves.
Little to nothing in that thread indicates an issue beyond inept consumers. Yes, I read several pages on the incessant gripes. Very few made any actual attempts to troubleshoot issues before whining about the "Apple issue" and those that did actual troubleshooting got their issues resolved.
So no, Apple has nothing to fix beyond a few specific devices that are experiencing hardware issues.
If you have actually put forth effort and done the basic troubleshooting, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement. Whining will get nothing accomplished.

HT3702 why did i get charged three times for the same purchase? is it because i use my apple id on three devices.. two iphones, and ipad... and and macbook geez apple i support you enough can i just pay for one copy of the audiobook

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
If it was an audiobook then they are one-time only downloads, to get it on your other devices you need to sync it to them and not re-download it oneach. You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you for the second and third downloads : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Are you using a wireless router to connect to the internet? if so disconnect the wireless router and connect through LAN. Ensure you disconnect all your wirless devices including a wirless dongle if you are using one. Once connected through LAN download again. This worked for me today.

Why do I get double entries when synching calendar with Google calendar?

Since I have different iCloud passwords on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s, I synch the calendars with Google calendar. It works - to a point. The problem I'm getting double entries in my IOS calendars. Any suggestions?

I too was having this issue recently. I decided to look into it and discovered that www.google.com and all of the search results accessed through using a google search engine toolbar were currupt. I believe I solved this problem by updating my firmware of my router.
Type in your IP address in your Address Bar (search using Yahoo what your default IP router address is if you haven't changed it since you got it.) You'll then need to navigate to your router's website (ex: I search Cisco and Linksys and found mine).
Most logins to the router are
Name: admin
Password: password
You will then download a .bin file and go to your administrator page in your router's control panel and go to Firmware Upgrade. Click the "find file" (or whatever it says) and click upgrade. This worked for me.
If this doesn't solve it, reset the router to it's default settings by either using it's control panel or holding the reset button on the back of it in for several seconds. This will reset any port forwarding you may have set up as well as your Wifi password.
Hope this helps,

How do I remove an alert for a calendar item that has long since been deleted? and yet goes off mysteriously, un-deletably, and un-editably every single ****** week !!

How do I remove an alert for a calendar item that has long since been deleted? and yet goes off mysteriously, un-deletably, and un-editably every single ****** week !!

I have the same problem with my iPhone. I set up a recurring calendar event for every Thursday. That event is no longer happening during the summer, so I went in and chose one from the current month and selected Delete. Then it gve me two choices, one of which was to Delete All Future Events of this one, and that's what I chose. I figured, this way, I'll still be able to see the ones from the past, but won't have to see (or hear the alert) for the future ones.
The following week, my phone alerted me to the appointment, and even showed it on the initial screen, even though it wasn't in the calendar. I went in to the calendar and NOTHING was scheduled for that day. So why is this happening?
So I set up a new recurring event, for in the past, then went in and deleted all furture occurances, and it did the same thing... still alerted to an event that was no longer in the calendar.
I hope somebody else has found a fix, or at least a reason for why this is happening.
