Alerts from iCal to Mail Being Tagged as Junk

All of the iCal alerts I have set to send an email to my email address are being tagged by Mail as Junk. The only filter I have set for Junk is "if not in my address book." How do I get this to stop?
Thanks.
Ted

This is what I have set up to prevent this problem:
Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail
Uncheck: Filter junk mail before applying my rules
Mail > Preferences > Rules
Add Rule: iCal Alarms
If all of the following conditions are met:
From Contains [email protected]
Subject Begins with Alarm
Perform the following actions:
Set Color of background Red
Stop evaluating rules

Can I send an alert from iCal to a group in my contacts?

First post so please go gentle.
I have just set up an iCloud.com calendar and successfully synched to my iphone and ipad. I have also set up so I can update contacts via iCloud. All working great so far.
Anyway, I manage my son's football team and have a calendar for their fixtures, with the events containing info such as kick off time, and location of the match. In my contacts, I have a group for player's parents, and would ususally have to manually send a message each week reminding them of the game, kick off time etc. Is there a way that I can get iCal to automatically send a reminder or alert to this group by email with this information?
I hope that is clear? If there's not a way to do it using the native apps, does anyone know of any 3rd pary apps that can do this? Or do I need to maybe switch to Google?
Thanks

Create alerts from wiki ical?

Can I create alerts/reminders for events on the server's wiki iCal so that all user who are subscribed to that calendar will receive an alert from their desktop iCal?
Thanks,

Bump for solution. I have 10.7 server with Wiki's providing group calendars. So far all of my attempts to get alerts to show up for everyone have fallen short.

How can I remove calendar alerts from my iPhone?

My iPhone 4 (iOS 6) seems to be adding calendar alerts on its own and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove them. I use iCal on my Macbook Pro (running Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to sync my calendar events. None of my events on iCal have alerts set to them and I have disabled all alerts in my iCal preferences. Yet, for some reason, when I look at a calendar event on my iPhone, an alert is set for it.
How do I remove these properly? I do not simply want to silence these alerts, but figure out how they got there in the first place and remove them completely. For comparison's sake, I've included an image of the event from iCal and the event from my iPhone.

Hi pjdemeo,
I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone. As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer. This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
Organize photos and videos - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.
Cheers,

How to delete all ALERTS in iCal at once?

Over the years I have added repeating Events with Alerts to iCal on various devices (some of them passed on to my relatives). As a result I get plenty of Alert emails or sounds. I find it onerous to go through all repeating events to delete the alert. Hence my question: how to delete all Alerts at once?
Thanks for any suggestions/pointers/ideas. Cheers, Veit

Hi John,
Thanks so much for your help with this problem. I am trying to remove alerts for a couple of specific shared calendars (which I can edit) but am having some difficulty due to my inexperience with applescript! I am also not sure where else to go for help solving this problem.
My plan is to run your script a couple of times specifying one calendar at a time by name.
This is the modification I made to your script:
tell application "Calendar"
activate
          delay 0.5
          display alert "Removing all alarms from your editable calendars" message "This process may take some time and is permanent. Are you sure you want to do this?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} cancel button 2
          set calname to "Consultant_on_call"
--- repeat with myCalendar in (calendars whose writable is true)
          repeat with myCalendar in (calendars whose name is calname)
                    repeat with myEvent in events of myCalendar
delete display alarms of myEvent
delete mail alarms of myEvent
delete sound alarms of myEvent
delete open file alarms of myEvent
                    end repeat
          end repeat
          display alert "Removing all alarms from your editable calendars" message "This process is complete." buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end tell
Are you able to tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks again.

Random alerts in iCal

Hi,
At my work we have an iCloud account set up where we all share the company calendar. The calendar is created and managed through iCloud. A few months ago we started to get a lot of unwanted/random alerts. The are always set for 0 minutes before the event, but I personally seen them pop up after the event as well. A majority of the alerts happen with repeating events. I've tried to manually set them back to none but the alerts come back. I've checked the companies computers and no one has Add Default Alerts set in there preferences. I've even seen alerts get set for events that I personally created and know for a fact weren't set. I know you can just turn off alerts on the iMac, but people that have the cal on their phone still receive that alerts.
So, how can I prevent the alerts from being created, and second is there a way to turn off iCal alerts within the iPhone? Thanks

I just discovered that when I view the events on www.icloud.com the ones that are improperly alerting for me show up there with the alert option turned on, even though they don't show as alerting on the macs or ios devices. So far, it seems that turning off the alert on www.icloud.com fixes the event on the icloud server (so it won't get sent to all the devices). It doesn't fix the cause. That's something Apple has to figure out.
But I think it's related somehow to the mac Calendar Preferences Alerts options. In the latest Lion, either someone has Events>At Time Of Event as their preference, or the default of None is not working. On each mac, try toggling that preference to some value you don't want, like 5 minutes before, then close and reopen preference and turn it back to None.

IPhone alerts from subscribed calendars

Hi there,
I keep getting alerts from colleagues subscribed calendars that are synced to my iPhone via mobile me. In iCal, I have selected to "Remove Alarms, Attachements, and To Do Items" from their "Get Info" menu.
Any solution for this? Thanks.

I guess that's why it's called me.com... All about me, not us and sharing.
How do we get an acknowledgenent from Apple when encountering stuff like this? I'd guess there is a large percentage of customers that are partners and wish to SEE the other's calendar, but not get the reminders.

How do I prevent iCloud alerts from appearing on all my iOS devices?

I'm stumped on how to prevent alerts from popping up on all my iOS devices on my account. I have two iphones on my account (one is my dad's and the other is mine). I have all of our contacts and events separated in iCloud. For some reason even though his calendar events are unchecked on my phone, the alerts still show up on my iphone, and even though my events on my dads phone are unchecked, he still gets my alerts on his phone. I never had this problem when our events were synced with iCal. The last thing I want to do is create a separate account for my dad. He never goes onto itunes on his own, and if he needs to then I'll do it for him. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

There doesnt seem to be a way to get around this, some things to try would be: setting your phones up under the same apple I.D. as i take it you already have - and then go into settings-icloud- and change the account so u give him a new icloud account but use the shared one for app purchases etc, i'd also advise doing the same for imessage so u dont recieve each others messages (that could be real awkward).
Hope this helps or gives u some ideas, let me know if theres anything else?
Cheers - good luck

IPod not showing all Calendars from iCal

I just got a new iPod classic and when I hook it up to my MacBook and sync my calendars from iCal not all of them show up. I have tried syncing all and some selected, but if it didnt show in all, it wont show even checked off. Is this a bug in the system?
Thanks

Hello Kristen,
Have you double checked the media type of these TV Shows in iTunes? To do so, locate the TV Show, right->click on it and choose "Get Info" from the Shortcut Menu. When the window pops up, head over to the Options tab. There should be an option for *Media Type* with a drop down list next to it. Make sure that is set to "TV Show" and nothing else. Then hit OK when you are finished and sync the updated changes to your iPod.
Another thing to check is the settings you have configured from under the *TV Show* tab for your iPod in iTunes, when you have it plugged in. It may be set to sync all "unplayed" episodes. You will want to change this to something that is more fitting.
I would start with these two possibilities, and then we will go from there if need be.
Hope this helps.

How can I restore my data from iCal? I didn't make any backup, but I use time machine with an external HD. I deleted iCal when I deleted my gmail account. I have tried to restore, but I can only restore the iCal software and not the data.

So what is your question?
If you forgot your encryption password:
Warning: Make sure it's a password you will remember or write it down for safekeeping. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you can't restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and chooseset up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

How can I remove the moon phases from iCal?

I need to remove ALL the moon phases that appear in iCal 5.0.3. Every time iCloud updates it sends 6 to 10 moon events to my MacBook Pro. Going forward 3 0r 4 months, there are too many moon phases. How can I remove the moon phases from iCal?
I am on a MacBook Pro 2.2 with 4 GB using Mountain Lion 10.7.5.

Try:
items.RemoveAll(s => string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));
Or you can filter them out using where:
var noEmptyStrings = items.Where(s => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));

Is there a way to create an email alert in iCal on the iPhone (as it's possible to do on the laptop)?

Nope.
You might be able to find another calendar app that can do that in the App Store.
And, you can always leave Apple feedback here -> Apple - iPhone - Feedback

Printing a year planner from ical

is it possable to print a sasco style calander from ical within lion .it apears to be able to print a silly colourd yellow to red chart showing how many events on a day but no descriptions i would love it to print it out in a month by month in a year planner style and send it to my large format printer.can this be done
thanks

Hello Karin,
your second approach is the one I would also choose.
just make sure to set the control parameters accordingly (i.e. when calling the actual smartform, not when retrieving the name):
1st smartform: control_parameters-no_open = space
control_parameters-no_close = abap_true
2nd smartform: control_parameters-no_open = abap_true
control_parameters-no_close = space.
This way, both forms will be in one spool request and you will not get the popup for the second one (provided, that's what you want).
Kind regards
Matthias
