Alert issues - alerts keep switching

I like to set two alerts for most of my iCal events, one a day before or a few hours before, and the second an hour before or at the time of the event. What I am experiencing is that the alerts automatically switch places so, for example, I set a 2 hour alert as my first alert for a doctor appointment and a 1 hour alert for the second alert. Almost immediately, the 1 hour alert appears as the first alert and the 2 hour alert appears as the second. It is so frustrating! I have to go in every day and manually switch the alerts over and over and over again until they finally stay in the correct place. And even then, for alerts that repeat daily or weekly, I often discover that it reverts again for any of those future alerts. What is the deal? How can I set my alerts for the times I want them to be and have them stay rather than flip around?

That isn't what I understood your decription of the issue to be. After re-reading your original post, I see I was mistaken (I think).
Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
Also - do you have a default alert time set? Should only apply to the First alert, and I wouldn't think it would impact this issue, but you might want to check.

Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
If this does not work, you should get it serviced:

CCMS Alerts keep coming for the system which was removed from System Monito

Hello SOLMAN Experts,
Iu2019ve noticed quite strange behavior of my SOLMAN CCMS Alerts: CCMS Alerts keep coming for the system which was removed from the System Monitoring.
Have you ever experienced this?
Please advice
Thank you

Hi 123,
Please ensure that autoreaction methods are deleted for those systems.
You can verify system to autoreaction method assigments via RZ21 --> Technical Infrastructure --> Configure Central system -->Assign Central Autoreaction
also check if that system is appearing as online as follows
RZ21-> Topology --> system overview --> Monitored and Remote SAP systems
if yes , make it offline to stop triggering alerts.
I hope this information will help you.
Thanks,

TS3274 My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password. It's asking for a password of zero value. How can I correct this.

My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, and it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password. It's asking for a password of zero value. When I enter my personal password that I created, it say it the wrong password, then it say try again in 5 minutes and shuts itself down. Is anyone else having this issue and how can I fix it?

Hello SharonLo
Your best bet would be to restore your iPad if it is not accepting your passcode. Check out the article below to walk you putting your iPad into recovery mode and using iTunes to restore it.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

After updating to ios5 my i phone and it keeps switching off

I recently updated my Iphone 3gs to iOS5 and now my phone keeps switching itself off and on again,
I like the new iOS so would like to keep it if anyone knows how I can sort this out?

i was having some different issues after the upgrade - my phone wouldn't stay on the 3g network and I couldn't make/receive calls or sms or access the internet via 3G. I tried a regular recovery, which didn't work, but just did a DFU restore. apparently it's a different type of restore... anyway it worked so far.
this is how you do it
They probably used what is refered to as a DFU restore. To do this yourself you must plug the phone into the computer while on. Hold the sleep button for 3s, then hold both the home and the sleep button for 10s, then release the sleep button and hold only the home button untill the phone apears in itunes as a device in recovery mode. If done correctly the iPhone display will remain off once the device has connected. Proceed to restore.

Iphone 5 keeps switching to silent on its own

My Iphone 5 is stuck on silent mode, or more accurately it keeps switching to silent on its own.
The problem started about 2 days ago, after upgrading to iOS 7.1 last week. The phone keeps switching in and out of silent mode (without the button being touched) and mostly stays in silent. It's not a speaker problem, nor a settings problem, as I’ve checked every bit of online advice I could find. I tried restarting, resetting, restoring, cleaning the headphone jack, and nothing helps.
An attempt to see if it’s a headphone related issue (by plugging and unplugging while restarting in various combinations) got it working fine for about 5 minutes, then it switched back to silent.
Needless to say, the phone did not suffer from any physical damage prior to the problem.

I have the identical problem, and it started when I upgraded as well.
Trips to the AT&T store, and to Apple twice have not been able to solve. (Other than telling me for $300 they would replace it since my phone is 6 months past the 1 year warranty) All the resetting, wiping, even restoring to factory defaults using iTunes from the computer have failed. I finally had a tech open it and look at it, and it's pristine.
I've suspected software since the problem started occurring, because it is so random, and the fact that the speaker, mic, headphone, etc... all work fine.
Just while it's sitting on the desk, it will jump back and forth from silent to ring mode, but mostly stays in silent.
I'm convinced this is a bug

My computer keeps switching its internet setting from Airport to Ethernet without me doing anything. How can I fix this??

My computer keeps switching its internet type from "Airport" to "Ethernet." As my computer is not connected to an Ethernet cable, the ethernet does not work, and so I lose internet connection every time it does this. And it does this two or three times a minute (no exaggeration). This means that, by the time I've changed the setting and refreshed my page, the internet type has changed again, and I'm back to square one.
So far, I've tried the following:
-Reordering the list of priorities on the "Network Preferences" page
-Going to the Ethernet "advanced" options and switching everything to either "off" or from "automatically" to "manually"
-Rendering the Ethernet inactive
-Finally, I created a new location with only airport on
Usually, doing these things makes the problem go away for a day or two, and then it just comes back again.
It's not a problem with the internet itself, as this has been an ongoing issue for the past few months, and I've switched locations three times since then.
Does anyone know how to make my computer stay on Airport, and NOT switch to the Ethernet setting all the time?

Hi samanthaspunt,
I would first try these steps:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If that does not help, I would try un-syncing and resyncing the music via this article:

Lansdcape & portrait mode keep switching

I have 2 games downloaded from iTunes (Bejeweled & Sonic the Hedgehog) and they keep switching from landscape to portrait, without my intervention.
When I close the games, the menu flips to landscape orientation.
If I click on Cover flow the menu switches back to portrait.
Does anyone know how I can solve this?

I Just spent over an hour with support on this issue and apparently in iOS 8 they removed the option for the phones to lock in landscape mode. So, there is nothing wrong with your phone, unfortunately they removed a very useful feature. Maybe they will see if enough users want it they will fix it in an update.

My iphone 5 keeps switching itself on and off and screen different colours?

My iphone 5 keeps switching itself on and off randomly, the screen has also gone a green and red colour prior to it turning itself off and sometimes will not come back on unless re-set? help?!

If you already tried a restore to factory settings, it looks like a hardware issue to me.
I would take it to an Apple Store for replacement.

Keyboard layout keeps switching after 10.9.4 upgrade

After the recommended upgrade to Maverick 10.9.4, all of us in my group have the problem that the keyboard layout keeps switching every time a new Word document is opened (and possibly on a number of other occasions).
We have MacBookPros 2011, 2012, 2013, all regretting having upgraded to OsX 10.9.4. As per instructions, mine's a Retina late 2013 and got a 2.8 GhZ i7 with 8GB 1600MHz DDR3, 500GB SSD - no performance issues!
There have been two discussion threads as far as I can see; none with a solution.
"Fixing" the keyboard to a single one is not an option for polyglot people like us who actually need several keyboard layouts.
I have fed back to Apple as recommended weeks ago, but to no avail so far.
This persistent problem is driving all of us mad. Does no one on this list have any answers? Surely there's some setting somewhere that turned a perfectly well working system (10.9.3) into one that's costing us tens of minutes every single day (10.9.4)?
Thanks in advance,
Alexander

There is a box that no one had mentioned...
System Preferences---> Keyboard---> Input Source---> Uncheck the "Automatically switch to a document's input source. The input source is used until the document is closed."
kafetzou... You may want to delete the Turkish keyboard so that the English is on top of the list. Then re-add the Turkish keyboard, this will make it under the English. Though I don't know if this will help your problem, or the box that I mentioned above.

Why does my i phone 4 keep switching itself off

hi can anyone help why does my phone keep switching itself off

Hi jodierigby,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has steps you can take if your iPhone is unexpectedly powering off:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

My 3gs keeps switching itself off and when i turn it on, the date is set to 1st January 1970

I Have an Iphone 3gs that keeps switching itself off and when i turn it on, the date is set to 1st January 1970 :S ... many software resets and updates won't do any good .. repaired at the manufacturer twice for the same, and works till it happens again on it's own. When it was repaired, the fix was mentioned as a reset done for the device. I have a friend who is alse havng same issue.
can someone tell what is the reset that can be done to tr and do it from my end plzzz?

Sounds like the battery is dead. Bu try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iPOd
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem your battery is very likely dead. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Display keeps switching between primary and clone.. I think.

My laptop, Pavilion DM3, keeps switching displays by the screen blacking out yet the computer still running. If a video is playing for example I can still hear the audio but the screen goes black. Some little musical tone plays when it switches and sometimes I get a little notification box that pops up saying the optimal resolution for clone display is... or it will say the optimal resolution for the primary is...
It's incredibly frustrating. Sometimes it only happens once every few minutes and sometimes it happens once every few seconds. I usually press ctrl+alt+f3 which works but it's annoying to have to keep doing it. I took it to Best Buy and they reinstalled the drivers and said that should work and if it doesnt then the next step is to ship it off to HP and that could take weeks. The problem is I'm currently in grad school and this is my only computer. I can't go weeks without my laptop even if it means having my screen black out every few seconds. Hopefully it really is just a setting or something or a software thing that I can fix myself with the help of you fine people.
My laptop is an HP Pavilion dm3 with Windows 7 64bit. Intel Pentium processer U5400. Optimal resoolution is 1366x768. Graphics is Intel HD Graphics(integrated I believe?) 4 GB memory, 500GB hard drive. I've had the laptop may six weeks and it's been having the issues for about two weeks.

Multiple desktops keep switching order

I use multiple desktops (not sure what the feature is called anymore) in 10.8.2. I have about 4 of them, and for some reason, #2 and #3 keep switching places! any ideas why? I just have different browsers, a finder window, (simple stuff) in each one. no full screen stuff, nothing fancy. ARRG!

They are automatically ordered by usage. You can disable that in the Mission Control prefs.
