Alerts disappear when an appointment is accepted in Calendar app

Ive had this problem a few weeks. I always make an alert for 30 minutes before an appointment in the Calender app iOS5 on my IPod touch. I also send an invite to someone to join me for that appointment. When they accept the appointment the alert changes to none. I have checked this several times. This means the alarm I have set doesn't sound and I miss the appointment. Please can someone check that this happens to them as well.

On the iPhone, I set up my Google Account to use Exchange, as seen in the google help doc about it:

If you have multiple calendars, you may need to enable the other ones by going to m.google.com on your phone in Safari and then clicking the Sync button, then it will have you log in with your gmail account.  Once you are logged in, you can choose your iPhone and pick which calendars to sync.
On iCal on the Mac, you can set up your calendars using CalDav by going into the Preferences--> Accounts, then click the + icon at the bottom and choose Gmail from the pull down list, then enter your account info.
To show any additional calendars on there, you would want to choose your acount in the preferences, and choose Delegates and enable whatever other calendars you need.
If you don't like the CalDav syncing on iCal (on the mac), you can also look at SpanningSync.  It does a very good job of syncing your google calendars and contacts with your mac.
The exchange setup on the iPhone and iPad works perfectly for me though, so I didn't need any special software to do it, just the right setup.
One tip, let the calendar/contacts FINISH syncing before you try to add or make changes.. you'll get errors and stuff if you aren't patient with it.  When I first open iCal, I sometimes have to wait a little bit before the spinning icon stops next to the calendar before it's safe to enter in new appointments. I will occasionally leave iCal up all day if I know I'll need to add and change a lot of appointments.

  • I can't receive face time calls - the accept icon disappears when i try to accept

    I can't receive face time calls from my wife. My device rings and the accept icon pops up, but disappears when I try to navigate towards it. I can call her and she can accept my calls.

    facetime hasn't worked consistently since April 17th.  Rumor going around that it's a way to force people to upgrade to iOS7, who previously wanted to stay with iOS6.
    I have two iOS 6 ipads, and neither will work anymore.
    very disappointed with Apple if this is indeed the case

  • Wallpaper disappears when I bring up Photobooth from my Apps?

    I'm trying to figure out how to fix this glitch I've been experiencing recently with my Wallpaper/background. Whenever I bring up Photo Booth from my applications, my wallpaper disappears to be replaced by a solid blue background. It's only started happening a couple days ago, and I've only experienced this problem with Photo Booth, none of my other applications. Any ideas what the problem is???
    Oh, P.S.- Photo Booth still works just fine.

    Interesting and where to begin? I do not see anything in the plist that looks like it would create this glitch however lets eliminate the possibility.
    Move to the desktop the com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist and relaunch PhotoBooth.
    Found in your user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist
    If no change you can always return it.
    If this is the case of no change, try opening new user account and see if thew problem persist. Report back.

  • CALENDAR APP: I just missed important appointment!

    When daylight savings time took effect, all the events in my calendar moved forward one hour! i didn't notice at first, so the events I entered AFTER daylight savings time took effect were correct. I thought I had corrected all of the screwed-up entries, but today I was an hour late for an important medical test, and the hospital could not fit me in when I showed up. The calendar app showed my appointment at 9 am, when I had entered it as 8 am. Did I get a stupid phone instead of a smart phone? 

    Thank you for your feedback. Adding to what was stated, we apologize you missed your appointment. However, the calendar does not automatically change over to match the daylight savings time. Perhaps update or try syncing your device with the Gmail Calendar App to adjust the entry of the appointment. I am providing a link for more reference. The link is:

    Hi,
    I also have a similar issue since upgrading from the 4s to the 5s.
    The issue I have is, issue number 2:" If I do receive a text message/iMessage notification, it disappears within 5-10 minutes before I can even check (no other notifications disappear)"
    Which also consists of the same events in the last message from monicash "So for example, if i get a text while sleeping... i wake up in the morning to check my notifications and there is nothing there because it disappeared (even though there should be a notification there with my current settings that are ON)."

  • When I receive invitations from outlook, it goes onto my calendar. However, when i "accept" the invitation it does not appear as accepted to the inviter, even when my "status" says "accepted".

    I am on a MAC OS X 10.7.4 (Lion).  In essence, I cant really tell if when I check the acceptance, it notifies the inviter that I have accepted. Therefore, I worry that my appointment may not be registered with them. So I send an email to confirm that I have accepted the appointment. It is a  MAJOR inconvenience as I am a consultant working with corporations and I am always a little uncertain as to whether my appointment will be on the other's calendar.  I see many issues with calendar invites not showing up, but my problem is that it DOES show up, it does appear on my calendar and I AM able to click "accept", but I am never really sure if the inviter receives the acceptance. Any thoughts on how to fix this problem?  Thanks!

    The original install had 3 regular users, and I'm also seeing the "Shared" user when looking at the volume via Terminal. On my new disk, I created a user (with admin rights) with the same name as one of the users on the back up. When I log in as this user and then start Backup again, the home directory of that user is visible in Backup. However, the home directory I want is still hidden.
    On a side note: I'm wondering whether these full or incremental backups are somehow similar to .dmg files, since they seem to appear in the /Volumes list while Backup is restoring from a backup file.
    What I am doing right now, is to have Backup do a complete restore. But as soon as I started Backup, I opened a terminal window,did a cd (change directory) to the backup file (which appears as a volume). Then I copied the contents I of the home directory I want (via cp -R <home-directory-name> <destination>) to another hard disk.
    Interestingly enough, I noticed that Backup, while it was doing the restore, opened a dialog indicating that it could not close the backup file because it was in use by me having a Terminal window open in one of its directories. As soon as I closed the terminal window, and allowed Backup to re-try, it successfully continued, opening the next backup file in succession.
    As soon as it continued, I cd-ed into the home directory of that next backup file, and copied the contents of the home directory from it. So, I'm doing this for the home directory in question for all backup files. I assume that this gets me as many copies (versions) of the home directory as there are backup files.
    The next thing I need to to after all backup files have been processed, is to manually try to consolidate all the extracted home directory versions into a single one. Yes, this sounds insane, and it is, but until I know of another way to solve this problem, it's the only thing I can do
    What a fantastic way to spend a weekend!

  • Creating item in shared calendar- it disappears when syncs with icloud!

    This has been going on for weeks.  When I create a new event on a shared calendar, the edit window closes and I see my appointment listed correctly.  A few moments later, as the "updating..." line appears at the top of the screen, the event's title and time disappears and it reverts to my default calendar at a random time during the day (same date).  I could create 10 events and the moment it tries to sync to iCloud, they are all GONE!  Anyone else notice this from a shared calendar?  FWIW- it doesn't do this when I schedule directly on icloud.com, but I find the interface to be a pain in the neck to use regularly.  All suggestions welcome.
    Thanks!

    To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID.  Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
    If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this.  Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.

  • ITunes entry disappears when I move the cursor - up to 3 times

  • IOS Calendar - Google CalDAV Alerts Disappear

    So I'll make this brief and succint. I have daily alerts set up in my sync'd Google calendar using the native iOS Calendar.
    What happens is that I hear the noise on my device (Alert for Calendar event), but when you look at your phone or iPad, the event is gone. As some of these are daily reminders, I know what they are, so I know what I missed. I then started watching my phone during the time change. Sure enough, at the date/time of an event, I would briefly see the alert and it would disappear instantly. This is really frustrating, as at times I have other events that are not daily and those disappear too. I have to go open up the Calendar app to find out what it is. It used to be that the alert would stay up on my screen until I could dismiss/OK it.. so I didn't miss it.
    I have a single Google account that I used to add 'CalDav' sync to my iPhone and iPad.
    My Google account has 3 calendars (Personal, Family, Good Habits).
    These 3 calendars show up, and sync properly with the Calendar app. I see them in there no problem, and it updates.
    I have it set up on my iPhone (4s/iOS 6.1) and iPad 3 (iOS 6.1) the same way.
    Does anybody else have problems with their Calendar Alerts disappearing from the screen?
    For now, the only way I've found to resolve it is to use Google.com/calendar to set up important events to also send me an SMS. This way I at least get a solid notification I can't miss.
    I would really love to have the pop-up alerts work properly though. Combing the internet has not yielded help. Using other calendar apps does not help.
    Should I be using Exchange to sync my Google Calendars instead of CalDAV? As Exchange support is being dropped by Google, this is not an option.
    Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and for any help you can lend.

    I recall a couple years ago when I set it up there were limitations, I forget what they were now, to using active sync and people recommended using cardav and caldav.  I have a Google Apps for Domains account that I’m using.  At this point I see no reason to investigate further.
    Thanks again!

  • Images sent wirelessly to iPad/iPhone disappear when the camera is disconnected from wireless LAN

  • Alert boxes when I use ebay

    Hi people,
    I'm suddenly getting Safari ‘alerts’ when I view my summary page on ebay.
    When I click on my ebay page in top sites (or refresh my summary page when I’m already on ebay, or return to the summary page from another ebay page) I get the summary page but am also getting a pop up little (4 inches x 1.5 inches approx) Safari alert box with the Safari symbol on the left, with http://my.ebay.co.uk in bold type and the number 3 in plain type under that and the blue OK button to click on on the right.
    I click on it and the alert disappears to be replaced by an identical box. I click on the OK button on that one and it disappears completely and I can use safari properly.
    Can anyone tell me what’s going on? I tried resetting Safari but it’s still happening. It’s a bit irritating to have to get rid of the two alerts every time I want to view that page.
    Thanks.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.

  • Reminders alerts disappear from lock screen

    Hi, I'm facing problem with reminders alerts on lockscreen (iPhone 5, ios 8.1.2) Alert stays approx. 15 minutes on the lock screen and suddenly disappears. This happens only for Reminders, other alerts such a missed calls or messages are fine. It drive me crazy. For example when I leave phone and come back in one hour, I can't see missed reminders alerts, because they  already disappeared. I tried disconnect from iCloud (synchronized reminders with Mac book air), reset iPhone settings, completely reset iPhone and install from scratch. But this problem remains. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you very much!!!

    Meanwhile I found that mentioned problem occurs only when I fetch emails or calendar via gmail account etc... So after email or calendar  synchronization is fetched on the background (each 15 mnts in my case), reminder alert disappear from then lock screen. If I set manual fetch, reminders lock screen alerts persist fine. I checked out the same behavior on my wife's iPhone, so I assume it is iOS 8.1.2 bug. Does anybody have such  issue?

  • Can Firefox alert me when a website updates its information, which happens often?

    First some details regarding my situation:
    I get work for a company that posts available jobs onto a website which is updated regularly, several times per hour. Once the jobs are posted they are picked up by the first person who sees and accepts the job. I have no way of knowing when the jobs will be posted and most of the time when I log in to the site the jobs have already been picked up.
    Is there a way that Firefox can alert me when the new jobs are posted to this website?
