Alarms don't work!!!

I am using iCal 1.5.5 on OS 10.2.8. My iCal alarms do not go off. From the simplest calendar appointments to syncing with emails. I am missing appointments now right and left. This seems to be common but I can’t find a solution.
I am very disappointed in Apples solution to this.

I don't have an answer. I am only writing to concur. Very frustrating. I sit here with iCal open, watching the clock come to an event time I have set. And absolutely nothing happens. No alarm, no pop up notices. Nothing. How do I get this to work? I am in OS 10.3.9. iCal 1.5.5. I have "Turn off alarms when iCal is not open" unchecked, as Help instructs. Still nothing.

Alarms don't work on 3 out of 4 of my devices synced through Google.

Strangest problem--I've been using iCal manage my Google Calendars all synced on my four devices (iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad 1 & iPhone 4) via Google's cloud server for quite some time. Now, when I add an event to any of the 4 devices, it shows up on the rest but if I add an alarm on any of the devices except my iPad and click 'done,' it just disappears--no alarm set when I open the event again on the same device or any of the others.
I tried to work around this by just setting alarms on my ipad but I now realize that even though the alarms show up on all my devices when I add them via the iPad, they still only go off on the iPad. This system just won't do if my alarms don't ring on my iPhone, as that's the device I always have with me. Haven't installed any updates or done anything else that I can think of that might have messed it up.

> I already installed the 9.1.1.1024 driver but another one is used for every USB entries. It's a microsoft driver 6.1.7601.17586 from 21/06/2006.
This isnt the problem. My notebook uses the same driver. This is a common MS Windows driver which is part of the Windows system and it controls the USB ports.
By the way: what Windows system do you use? Did you try to recover the notebook using recovery disk? If not try this to check if its hardware related problem.
By the way: go to BIOS and set it to default. Not quite sure if USB ports can be disable in BIOS of A660 series but its worth a check!

Alarms don't work and can't subscribe to shared calendars

I have just discovered that my alarms do not work, and I am not able to subscribe to shared calendars.
Re alarms - I have tried trashing iCal, downloading and re-installing it, trashing preferences, to no avail.
Re shared calendars - once I download the calendar, a drop down appears in iCal where my options are to cancel or subscribe. When I click susbscribe, the window freezes and nothing happens.
Any input would be most appreciated.

Alarms simply don't work.

I've set an alarm for a meeting next Monday at 7:00 PM. I set an alarm for 5 days in ahead for it to give me a message and a beep.
I got nothing! I've tried various times to make alarms and it almost never works for me. In the above listed example, do I Have to be on the computer exactly at 7:000 PM 5 days before the event for the alarm to work or something?
I'm not sure what other info I can give, so I know this is pretty vague, but if anyone knows of a general common reason alarms might not work, I'd love to hear it.
Very frustrated.

Hi,
What the "turn off alarms when iCal is not open' preference does is add/remove an application called iCalAlarmScheduler to your login items (System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items). This application stays running in the background and opens a window when you have an alam scheduled.

Volume buttons don't work after installing ios 7.0.4

I have an Iphone 4 (MC603B/A) and after installing IOS 7.0.4 the volume buttons and the mute switch don't work. Also, if I receive a call or a message I don't get any sound.
There is no sound either if I play a video. At the same time, the alarm does work and the voice in the GPS works also.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks

I have exact the same problem as you! Soon I will go to an Apple Genius Bar. When I got the solution, I will tell you!

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

TS1702 I buy an app, but he don't work. What can I do?

Yesterday I buy an app from the appstore. But he don't work. It's a Alarm Clock. When I open him he is for one second open and then close automaticly. Can anybody help me in this?
This is the app I buy:
Alarm Klok voor iPad - Social Reader, het Weer & Alarm Klok, v4.62 (4+)
Schrijf een recensie Meld een probleem
Alarm Clock Company
App
2,69 €

In the meantime, you can try this. This how I would procede no matter the app. You can also delete the app, and try to install it again. Also check the reviews for the app in the app store.
Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
(How to update your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623)
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

IPod Classic alarm doesn't work

I've used the alarm successfully on my old iPod Classic 60GB, now on the new iPod Classic 160GB it doesn't work anymore (I tried every option I could think of (with & without headphones, while keeping it on/off, etc., even enabling the clicker sound which seems to be the solution on iPhones, even after a full restore etc., etc., etc.)… but there seems to be a solution because I found this message:
a certain user "jaz271", had a similar problem, then added "Sorted" but doesN'T TELL HOW… what the use of putting such messages if there is not even a single way to contact the author?
Please help me out on [email protected]
Thanks.
PS: Also bizarre: the function on the old iPod Classic (60GB) vanished since the latest update. SO no more alarm on Ipod Classic 60GB.

I had the same problem -- alarm doesn't work on iPod Classic 160 GB, meaning I can't use it to listen to music to put me to sleep since the headphones block out any external alarm. I assumed it was something I'd done wrong, but viewing this and an even earlier (2007) thread, it looks like an Apple bug that hasn't been fixed in five years. APPLE PLEASE HELP! This is not what we expect from you.

Sound effects don't work

I am using iPad 2. It all works fine except for one thing. I have lost all sound effects. I can watch a YouTube clip and there is sound? however any sound involved in the running of the iPad or any apps does not work. I have tried many things but to no avail.
The keyboard doesn't click, there is no locking sound when I close the cover or charge the iPad. I read lots of Zinio magazines and ones like the national geographic are interactive with sound. There is no sound on Zinio anymore. The alarm clock does work and the alarm sounds. So I am most confused. Why do some things have sound and not others.
I hope someone can help. It has been like this for awhile. I have just updated to iOS 7 but the problem still exists. Any suggestions to try would be appreciated. I have tried rebooting. I have an idea that this problem has only happened since the revamp on the iPad interface with the previous upgrade.
Carol

Well I don't believe it. I have solved my own problem after months of having it. I had the side button selected to mute. I was still able to change the volume so figured that this is what it was for. I changed the side button to lock orientation. However it still works as a volume button and I now have all my sound effects back. I am confused as to why it works like this but the fact that I now have the sound I want I am happy regardless.
I will leave this post in case it helps someone else.

"Enable Swipe" don't work and Tablet Layout on a Smartphone

Hi there,
I have two big problems with my own site www.mhgrafikdesign.de:
1. I have different slideshows in my tablet version of my site. I created the slideshow before one of the updates with the feature "Enable swipe" came out. However, it worked well on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1n. Now I have a Microsoft Surface and it's not working anymore although "Enable Swipe" is enabled. I don't know if the Microsoft Surface has problems with the slideshow or one of the updates has "damaged" my slideshow. Please help me! Any ideas?
2. I have a HTC 8S smartphone and if I type www.mhgrafikdesign.de my smartphone always show me the tablet version. Any idea why? P.S. Swiping there is also not possible.
Many thanks for quick help. My website is my flagship in the web and it's a little bit embarrassing if my slideshow on the tab don't work... = /

This is now a slideshow created with Muse: Homepage
The slideshow uses fullscreen mode and was build with the latest version of Muse. On my Win8-Tablet, it is not working. I tested this with the IE11 in desktop- and in modern-ui-mode.
Next to this problem, I also run into these things:
1. Using the buttons to go forward and backward in the slideshow will select the text-arrow inside the button when touched.
2. Clicking the forward- and backward-button behaves different. Windows Desktop -> slideshow does not roll back, so you can click forever in one direction, no feedback that you reached the end. On iOS -> slideshow will be rolled back and you get the visual feedback to start over again.
3. Zoom into the fullscreen-slideshow will result in strange and not really controllabel behaviour. Zooming in does not allow to pan.
But I am not talking only about the phones. It is more about windows tablets in general. So, content can be viewed in the InternetExplorer11 in desktop-mode and also in modern-UI-mode (touch does work in both modes). But it is also possible, that people use other browsers like Firefox and Chrome. I think, it would be a quite a good idea to translate the movement of the mousepointer into gestures. This javascript library shows what I think is a good aproach: Hammer.JS - Hammer.js

Adobe Flash & Javascript don't work even though Enabled

Ever since what I think was either a Firefox upgrade (I don't know which one) or installation of Quicktime, my Adobe Flash Plugin is perpetually crashed and I cannot play any Flash content on any website. All that displays in place of the video is a gray screen with the sad-face Lego icon and the message: “The Adobe Flash Plugin has crashed. Please reload the page to try again.” (See attached image.) But it will not resolve when reloaded.
No Flash videos on any sites work. HTML5 videos work on YouTube when tested, but non-HTML5 videos won't work.
Also, my Javascript does not seem to be working since at least some displays requiring javascript don't work. Sometimes the display just doesn't work, and sometimes I get a message that javascript is disabled and must be enabled, but it is already enabled (set to “true” in about:config).
I have spent days scouring every help forum entry I can find on troubleshooting Flash Player and Javascript. Everything on my end seems to be in order and I cannot find or fix either problem. I think it is possible the issue could have its roots in the fact that Javascript seems to not be working which may be preventing Flash Player content from working...??
Also, Flash content does work in I.E. but not in Firefox (I do not have Chrome installed so did not test in Chrome). I have too many window tabs open in Firefox and can't switch to I.E. (nor do I like to use I.E.).
PLEASE HELP as this is crippling for very important work deadlines I have.
This is what else I know and have tried:
I have a Toshiba Satellite C75D-A Laptop;
Processor: AMD A6-5200 APU with Radeon HD Graphics; x64; 2.00 Ghz;
RAM: 8 MB;
OS: 64-bit system; Windows 8.1 (but some auto-check utilities detect it as 8.0 because it was upgraded.);
Graphics Card: “Desktop Graphics” System – AMD Radeon HD 8400 (0x9830);
Installed Graphics Driver Version: AMD 13.352.1004.1007 (Driver Date: 4/22/2014)
My Device Manager graphics driver updater states: “driver software is up to date.”
From the AMD website: the graphics driver auto-detect utility recommended the AMD Catalyst Driver (amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-without-dotnet45-win8.1-64bit.exe) I tried installing this driver, but it won't install. After trying to install, I got a message stating: “We are unable to find a driver for your system.” But Device Manager states I have a current driver, and my graphics card & driver seem to be working fine, so I do not believe this is part of the issue.
I am using Latest Firefox version 35.0.1; and
Using Latest Flash Player: 32-bit NPAPI Plug-in Version: 16.0.0.296; designated: “always activate” (Downloaded new update several times, including fresh install after uninstall; system & web address icons indicate Flash is enabled).
I turned off hardware acceleration in FF Tools>Options>Advanced>General
I disabled WebGL as explained here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
I am using Ad-Block Plus which has never affected things in the past. I have not tried starting FF in Safe Mode because I believe I will lose all open tabs and not be able to recover them (I may have over 200 open). But disabling add-ons has no effect (I disabled all except for Sessions Manager in case of a crash). (My No-Script has been disabled for at least six months.)
I have Windows Media Player and Quicktime installed.
Quicktime is most recent upgrade (7.7.6) so should not be a problem according to:
“QuickTime plugin takes over Flash” at:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(note underscores in place of spaces in string; underscores not insertable here)
Disabling Quicktime had no effect in the prior version of FF (ver. 35.0), but in latest FF ver. 35.0.1, Flash videos only display a plain (blank) gray screen instead of the sad-faced icon and crash message.
(I tried to uninstall Quicktime altogether, but was not able to due to Error codes 2502 & 2503. I tried troubleshooting that as well with no luck using methods successful for other programs, including here:
http://www.fixkb.com/2014/01/error-2503-and-2502-when-uninstalling-on-windows-8.html;
& here:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-winapps/re-internal-error-codes-2502-and-2503-for/ba5f2145-aa6e-4cc0-81a7-e4346f43b698.)
Disabling my FF theme and using the default brought back the sad-faced icon and crash message in the place of videos on some YouTube pages, but not other YouTube pages (where video was still blank gray screen). It also enabled a still Flash image (an ad) to display on a different website page that previously had a Flash Plugin crash message. I have been using this same theme for a couple of years without previous issue. While turning it off did generate an effect on some still imagery, it didn't fix the video problem.
I tried Disabling Protected Mode in Flash 11.3 as explained here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Disabling_Protected_Mode_in_Flash_11.3
(note underscores in place of spaces in string; underscores not insertable here).
It did not solve the issue.
I also deleted all storage & data in Flash Player as advised. This had no effect either.
I've tried all solutions I've been able to find and am at a loss for what to try next. Please help and advise ASAP. Thank you!!

For it not installing, you need to follow these instructions to install them: see the comments: [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_devices/windows-10-atiamd-display-drivers/50944d10-dde3-4e08-8244-d54eb2b1e7de] --> take warning though it looks like it has caused issues for others as well.
Since it was working for some youtube videos and not others, there might be an issue with a particular video codec. DO you have OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc. plugin?
Is it possible to try Safe Mode after saving your session with [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager Addon]? IT would test hardware acceleration in Firefox.
</blockquote>
Thank you, guigs2! Sorry for my delayed reply...I didn't realize I hadn't gotten back to you. Update is that I did try a whole slew of other troubleshooting steps including starting FF in safe mode, to no avail. However, I was FINALLY (after months) able to solve this problem just today by pure chance!
The problem was that hardware acceleration was enabled in the Flash settings. I had not been able to turn it off because I didn't have access to the Flash Player settings as long as the crash error message was visible, which was all the time! Today, by a sheer fluke, I saw a static picture in place of the crash message on a Flash video. I snagged the opportunity to call up the settings and turn off hardware acceleration, and it fixed the problem for my whole browser! This has been a frustrating issue because I did not have access to the settings utility as long as I had the crash message, which was always, so my Flash was crippled without the ability for me to fix it until pure luck gave me this window of opportunity.
Does anyone know another way to access the settings utility if this ever happens again in the future? I could not find a way. (Incidentally, I had tried disabling hardware acceleration via my graphics driver settings, but it didn't fix the problem.) We need Adobe to allow some other way to access the Flash Player settings utility when this problem arises since they aren't accessible when there is a static crash message.
Thanks again!

IPod Touch: apps (facebook, twitter, facetime) don't work properly with my wireless internet having worked perfectly before. Help needed!

I got my iPod Touch 4g for Christmas 2011 and for the first 2 weeks everything worked fine - I could download apps; use apps to their full potential; use FaceTime; use everything.
But after the two weeks, the iPod decided to no longer work as well as it had promised. First of all, it would take more than 2 hours to download a single app from the app store and then, straight after that, I couldn't connect to FaceTime (it had worked perfectly before). Then, finally, to top it all off - Facebook and Twitter stopped working on occasions. For example, I couldn't post/send messages or photos on Twitter and at the majority of the time, the News Feeds wouldn't load.
Sometimes everything works but most of the time it doesn't. I've tried my iPod at every time of the day and it makes no difference - nothing still works! Also, I don't think it is the fault of my wireless internet because I've had an iPod touch before and it worked perfectly, and the laptop that I am writing this question on also works perfectly with wifi.
The weird thing is that I have used my iPod to its full potential (everything worked fine) at my friends hosue on multiple occasions - using his wifi. I am really lost for ideas for what to do - I have uninstalled all the apps that don't work with the internet (facebook, twitter) and have always made sure that I have closed apps after using them, so that my iPod wouldn't run slow.
My iPod has been like this for over a month now, help would be appreciated

Do you have a blackberry data plan active. On your account? You need an active blackberry data plan to use the majority of data functions on your phone, even if you are connected to wifi

TV don't work with OSX Server software?

Everything worked great BEFORE I updated our MacMini Intel to OSX Server software, now iTunes can't find the recent found Apple TV. And therefore the connection is gone and the syncing don't work anymore.
Any work-around or suggestions on how to solve this?
Or do I have to revert to previus userversion of OSX to make it work again?
Is there a limitation built into OSX Server software or is there maybe some kind of firewall / preferences etc that needs to be adjusted? (The built in firewall has been disconnected.)
FYI:
All apps are up to date. The Mac Mini + Apple TV is on my local network at home and I'm trying to make it my family's digital hub for all family-related media.

2) Security options, yes I belive so to. I've followed all instructions and opened all ports I've seen mentioned i apples Knowledge database / support. Still don't work. Maybe I've missed some ports...
3) YES! It works fine sharing the MacMinis lib over the network.
4) Today I also tried to reinstall iTunes. But no luck.
Any mor suggestions anyone? Thx
I really wanny solve this, otherwhise my ATV is pretty useless for me...
