Bug: Calendar Reminders

I just received my phone and am very frustrated. An earlier post questions the inability to set reminders for any chosen time period. It appears you are limited to the times in the phones drop down list. My problem is I am syncing with my Outlook calendar. Outlook allows you to set a reminder for any time period. You can enter any number of hours or any number of days or weeks for a reminder. When I synced my phone yesterday, my Outlook reminders were changed/overwritten by the phone! It appears the phone having limited options for reminders overwrote the Outlook data that didn't fit into its selections. In addition, the phone distinguishes between timed appointments and all day appointments and has different available reminders for each. Outlook doesn't really make a distinction. In the end, it seems clear the phone and Outlook do not have the same capability and are therefore not compatible. Worse yet the phone "solved" this issue by over-writing my Outlook data.

It's definitely the iOS Calendar app (and every other calendar app that uses the same database) in my case. I'm not even aware of an official Google Calendar app Do you maybe have your Google calendar setup differently (no CalDAV for instance)?
Syncing the exact same calendar and appointments on Android and Windows Phone do give me an alert the day before the repeated all-day event. On my iPhone I won't get an alert, because I've created the event last year (or in same cases years ago), so the iPhone shows the alert time the day before I've created the event. For instance yesterday I expected an alert for an repeated all-day event I've created over one year ago, but the iPhone didn't alert me and in the calendar app it shows the incorrect alert date (tuesday 29th of may, while it should be wednesday 29th of may). In all future events it keeps showing the alert on tuesday 29th of may (which refers to tuesday 29th of may 2012). On my Galaxy Nexus and Lumia 920 the notification or reminder for that event was shown without a problem.

I'm not receiving e-mail on my "New" iPad, and I want tdeleted my yahoo mail account and reinstall it. When I go to settings to delete the account, it says I will lose everything in notes, calendars, reminders, etc. Can I delete ONLY the e-mail account?

I'm not receiving e-mail on my iPad (3). I want to try deleting my yahoo mail account and reinstalling it, but when I go to settings to do this, it appears that I will lose my notes, calendars, reminders, etc. Is this right, or is there another way to do this?

Give it time. Yahoo has had persistent issues the past few weeks. wait 24 hours or so and then try again.

Looking for an app that works with Mac and iPhone that will set calendar reminders of birthdays in contacts.

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here, so I've asked the hosts to remove your email address, postal addresses and phone numbers from your post.
I'm not entirely sure what you are saying, but if those apps are crashing then have you tried toggling them 'off' and 'on' via Settings > iCloud ? And if that doesn't fix it then try closing them via the iPad's taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
You could also try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it's a different problem ... ?

How to turn off gmail calendar reminders in iOS7?

How do I turn off calendar reminders in iOS7? I have gmail calendar setup but I don't want to receive reminders for upcoming events. I've been able to remove updates when the phone is asleep but if I click the home button to turn back on I get all the reminders of meeting invites and it's annoying. How do I remove those? Thanks.

IOS 5 calendar reminders

I have a problem with my calendar reminders disappearing as soon as the event time starts. Lets say I have an event at 12p and I have the calendar app set to alert me 5 minutes before. I get the alert 5 minutes before, but if I do not look at the phone or do not hear it and then later go to the phone there is no indication that an alert happened.
In the reminders app I get something like "conf call 5 min ago) or whatever amount of time it has been. This alert stays in the notification center until I dismiss it.
I would like the alert to stayin the notification center until I dismiss it. Anyway to do this?
I'm syncing with Google calendar if that helps.

I have the same question. It's very frustrating that the calendar dismisses itself out of the notifications area without the user DISMISSING it.
Did you find a work around? I rely heavily on calendar reminders to keep me on task.

Calendar reminders (notifications) still NOT working, even after 602 update.....

So, Verizon Wireless released the 602 update to the Gingerbread OS for the Droid X, and the calendar reminder popups (notifications) are still NOT working properly.
This is VERY frustrating, as I use these notifications (reminder pop ups) for everything from business related (meetings, etc) to personal (when to take medicines, etc).
It's also VERY frustrating because BEFORE Gingerbread, when the Droid X ran Froyo, there was NOT a problem with the calendar and its reminders.
I would assume that there are MANY, MANY people being affected by this issue...and I wonder why Verizon hasn't "put the heat" on Google to FIX this issue which is clearly related to the Android OS, more specifically, Gingerbread.
I used to like the Droid X very much, but now I'm counting the days until I can get an iPhone. At least you know what you're getting, and won't have an update "break" functions of the phone.
So, Verizon, if you're listening... PLEASE get this calendar notification problem FIXED.
Thank you!!

I'm the original poster of this topic. And let me tell you the steps that I went through to try to get this resolved, and then I'll let you know the ultimate solution that I wound up doing and am happy about (but am NOT happy about Verizon & Motorola).
1) updated DroidX to latest 602 update.
2) went into admin partition and deleted cache
still did not work
3) went into admin partition and did hard reset (complete restore) from inside the admin partition
Still did not get calendar reminders to work.
4) went into normal phone and accessed "Restore Phone to Factory Specs" from the Privacy menu in settings. This caused the phone to do a similar hard reset as in step 3, except it also ran the beginning software (welcome to your Droid, we now have to activate your phone, etc).
Calendar reminders did not work. (REMEMBER... when I say they did not work, I mean that the reminders would go off EVENTUALLY , but anywhere from 30mins AFTER the appointment to literally HOURS AFTER the appointment).
5) Created a COMPLETELY NEW AND DIFFERENT calendar at Google under a DIFFERENT screen name/account. Configured DroidX to completely forget the original calendar and to start using the NEW one.
Reminders still did NOT work properly.
6) Once again, tried hard resets.
NOPE. Still did NOT work.
7) CALLED Verizon Wireless and described my problem and they pretty much didn't/couldn't help and said they would "send a report to the engineering team" about the problem.
And HERE is the thing that REALLY BURNED ME UP about this WHOLE ENTIRE DEBACLE..... my DroidX worked 100% correctly BEFORE the Gingerbread upgrade to the Android OS. When it was running Froyo (previous OS), every single calendar reminder on my original calendar worked every single time, on time, every time. BUT... AFTER Gingerbread, it just didn't work. (Don't get me started with the phantom powering on of the phone after it was powered off problem that STILL exists after the 602 upgrade).
SO.......... what did I eventually do??? Well, by this time, I was eligible for early upgrade at upgrading pricing and switched to the iPhone4 (I didn't want the 4S). AND YOU KNOW WHAT??? Using the ORIGINAL GOOGLE calendar that I used before all the above stuff happened, my reminders on the iPhone4 work all the time, every time. These include appointments that I made 8 months ago to new ones that I make every day. And for all of them, the iPhone4 sets the reminder chime off EXACTLY when I want it to.
Now, I realize that this doesn't address the problem for you, Ganamide (who wrote above), but for me, I finally got to the point where I had missed critical appointments with clients and couldn't wait around for the DroidX Calendar Reminder Problem to be resolved.
So Verizon Wireless and Motorola (maker of DroidX) and Google (maker of Android OS) all have "negative points" in my book for allowing such a problem to continue without proper resolution. Apple, on the other hand, gets "positive points" in my book for making a product that is rock solid and works well.

Calendar, Reminders, Contacts do not sync

Calendar, Reminders, Contacts do not sync w my iPad. However, other apps do sync (i.e. mail, bookmarks etc.). Calendar, Reminders, Contacts are turned on in iPad as well as in iMac.

Let's focus on the Contacts. I have not been able to sync my Contacts in iMac and in the iCloud. Only half of my contacts from iMac appear in iCloud.
I have followed these instructions, step by step, but do not help:

...except the last one: uncheck/check the checkmark next to Contacts in System Preferences/iCloud because this would delete Contacts in my iMac.
My Contacts account look as follows:
Do I need to use iTunes to sync Contacts?
Any, really any, help appreciated.

IPhone 6 not syncing with other devices or shared calendar, reminders etc. using same Apple ID on all devices. Any ideas?

I have just bought a new iPhone 6 and updated it from the cloud with no issues (contacts all there as well as calendars that I have set up previously, for example) but have noticed that it will not sync to new content on my iPad or MacBook or vice versa, it is now like a stand alone device. Also, shared calendars set up by somebody else don't appear and I can't share a reminders list. I am signed in using my Apple ID, the same as I am on my other devices (which all still sync with each other as normal) but it is as if the iPhone is not on the same account. I have updated my iPad to IOS 8 with no issues so probably not an iOS problem. Does anyone have any suggestions before I trek into town to see a genius?

Unfortunatley 5 GB is not necessarily a lot of space. What you should do is FIRST go into iCloud and choose what information you want turned on.
Settings >iCloud
Here you should see different Tabs that will let you select what you want to back up on your device. You have the option to back up the following data on your phone:
Mail
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Safari
Notes
Passbook
Photo Stream
Documents & Data
Find My iPhone
If you turn off some of these options you should free up some of your space.
Once you have backed up your device in iCloud, you can place your device in Recovery Mode in iTunes so it can be recognized.
To put phone in recovery mode: Hold down home button and power button at top of phone at the same time. Once you see the Apple on the device, CONTINUE to hold down the Home button. Plug your phone into iTunes. Do not let the Home button go until you see a message in iTunes stating that a device has been detected in recovery mode.

Calendar, Reminders and Contacts Apps won't open...

Hello,
My iMac power cable got disconnected and it lost power interuptedly,
after starting it back up, i found that neither Calendar, Reminders or Contacts apps are starting up.
Did a little research before posting here, but nothing helped, I already tried:
- verifying /repairing permissions
- running daily/weekly/monthly scripts
- Reboot in safe mode
ANY Help is welcome as i am starting to loose hope,
and re-installing the whole Os seems a little extreme as a mesure,
Thanks : )

Hello Staraway
If you are having issues with Calendars, Contacts and Reminders opening up then the next step would be to reinstall your operating system. One thing you can try is if you are using iCloud with those apps, then turn off the settings in System Preferences and open the apps to test.

Calendar Reminders-Stopped Working

I have the 8330 Curve. Recently, my calendar reminders have stopped working. I use Groupwise (GW) email and MANUALLY sync my BB. I still get the reminders in GW, but no longer get them for any new appointments that are coming across. Is there anything that I need to check? I can't seem to figure this out....
Curve 8330
OS-4.5.0.77
PIN-303214cd

Try to reset the device by removing the battery for 30 seconds and replace it. See if any reminders come across
If you go to create a new appointment and scroll down to the reminder field, does it say none or 15 mins? If you go into the Calendar Options what is your default reminder set to?

My calendar reminders do not seem to be "pushing" to my iPhone. What am I doing wrong?

My calendar reminders do not seem to be "pushing" from my MAC to my iPhone via iCloud. Any thoughts about what I am doing wrong?

It sounds like you did a lot of burning with your Mac.
Set top DVD players are designed to playback commercial, pressed DVDs with very low error rates. As a result, many models have very limited error correction capabiities.
Writable DVDs can contain a lot of burn errors causing problems in these players.
For best results, you need to use quality media (Maxell or Verbatim) and NOT media like Memorex. You need to burn at low burn speeds - 4x is good, 8x may be OK. If you are burning several discs you MUST allow your burner to cool down between discs!

I just upgraded to iOS7 and started using icloud with Outlook 2010. My calendar reminders are only randomly showing up which is very frustrating. They show up on my phone however. Any suggestions on a fix?

I just upgraded to iOS7 and started using icloud with Outlook 2010. I dealt with switching over to only using icloud for my calendar, but now my calendar reminders are only randomly popping up which is very frustrating. They show up on my phone however. And under my calendar on my main page it doesn't show any appointments coming up. Any suggestions on a fix?

Hey Csound1,
Looks like we found a solution, it's Mickey Mouse but it works. After talking to two Apple Senior Advisors, this is the fix they came up with:
The first advisor after exploring it for awhile, came to the conclusion the way to get my calendars back local On my Mac with the alerts as I had then was to import the saved .ics files with my my 'dangerous email alerts' being removed then me manually re-adding them. I said that was a no go.
The second advisor, after speaking with me for awhile and trying a few things that we'd tried before said he'd do some work on his end and call me back. A couple of hours later he phoned back with a fix that I guess will have to do, his solution:
I had to go into Calendar-preferencs-accounts and create a Gmail calendar, quit and restart Calendar, I created a calendar in the gMail account. Then I was given the option in Calendar under File-New Calendar to create On my Mac local calendars. Next was to create local calendars with the same names as my iCloud calendars. Now I had to un-check all calendars but one, put Calendar in month view, command-click all the events for the given calendar and drag them to the new local calendar of the same name. I then had to repeat this for each of the calendars and for all 12 months of the year.
I'm not done yet but it seems to be working. As I said Mickey Mouse but doing the job. It seems creating another online calendar account was the only way to get the local On my Mac option, active again. What a pain in the a** this has been, I will repeat it again
iCloud is EVIL.

Viewing Calendar Reminders When Keyboard is Locked

Does anyone know how to enable viewing calendar reminders on the screen even if the keyboard is locked? The default behavior is that I get an audio tone to let me know I have a meeting, but can't see any info when the keyboard is locked. It would be much more helpful if the reminder popped up and could be seen without first needing to unlock the keyboard. I have the 8830 on Verizon.
Thanks

The only thing you can do when the device is locked is to place outgoing calls. All other functions will only be available when the device is unlocked

Nokia 301 Calendar reminders

Hi everyone
Is there a way to set up Calendar reminders on my 301 to appear on screen and play the tone just once, rather than requiring me to press view or snooze to stop the tone?
Other phones I've owned (not Nokia) could be set to beep once and then stay silent, just leaving the reminder on screen. Useful when my phone is not right by my side as it alerts me to check my reminders when I can, but doesn't need me to touch the phone immediately to silence it.
Any info appreciated.
Thanks
Rick

I would also like to know how to do this.
