Calendar adds extra notifications on events.

Since the latest Yosemite upgrade i have this annoying problem in calendar.
I have set calendar to automatically add a notification 15 minutes before each event.
But now it automatically adds one more "warning". The first extra notification is presented on the actual start time of the event.
And even if I don't snooze it it automatically is changed 1 minute into the future. And this is every time i click on the notification.
The extra notification doesn't exist until the start time of the event.
And to remove it I have to go to the event in Calendar and manually remove it.
Really annoying.
I have removed and synced both the iCloud- and the Exchange-accounts.
I have a Swedish OS.
Latest Yosemite and latest iOS and so on.
I have tried changing the time zone settings from auto to manual.
And I have also removed the timezone prefs file. (Some seams to have problem with this file in the latest OS).
Any tips?

I've had this same issue, as have others, for years.  I think there's a long-standing bug or design decision in Mac OSX (or possibly iCloud) which causes these excess, unwanted notifications.
The way I solved this issue for me is to not use the internal iCloud calendar sharing, but to subscribe to the ICS file on each device I want to see this calendar.  Use the  webcal:// or https:// URL provided by OSX Calendar app.  iOS, and Mac have mostly reliable, easy-to-use support for ICS subscriptions.  This should work (perhaps with a helper app) on Windows and Android as well.
The subscribers to this calendar have (I believe) read-only access to the calendar, but also, no pesky notifications of changes.

  • Calendar adding extra alerts to events

    I have recently purchased a Macbook Pro and I have set up the Caleldar app to sync with my iPhone. Now when I make an event on either device my computer adds two other alerts (besides my default-30 mins) to the event for times such as 23 hours before, 1590 mins before, or 1395 mins before. Any ideas on how to stop this from happening?
    It also sends me email alerts for events when all I want is a pop up on my laptop or phone.

    In case anyone is still having this problem...
    Jack7513 didn't mention anything about Google Calendar in the original issue, but I have been syncing with Google Calendar (GCal) and had this same issue. If you use GCal, this may be your solution:
    > Open Google Calendar online
    > Locate "My Calendars" on the left sidebar
    > Open the drop-down menu next to the calendar(s) you sync to your iOS device or Calendar in OS X
    > Select "Reminders and Notifications"
    > At the top next to "Event Reminders" remove all reminders listed next to "By default, remind me via..." using the "remove" link to the right of each one
    > Click "Save" at the top or bottom of the page

  • How do I add a birthday to my calendar without it being an event ?

    How do I add a birthday to my calendar without it being an event ?

    Add them as a Contact.  They don't have to have a phone number.  Just create a Contact with their name and relevant information.
    Your Contacts app is used for more than just phone numbers.  Email addresses, physical addresses, date of birth, etc.  Use the 'Add Field' option to see all the possibilities.

  • I want my wife to be able to see my calendars on my IPad /I phone on her mac and for her to add to it . She can then see my work movements and also add in any important events from home life. Can it be done without sync of email and contacts?

    I would like my wife to see my calendar on her mac from my iPad so she knows my work movements and can add in any important events I need to be aware of at home. Can I do this without upsetting her mac/iPhone arrangement and without sync of contacts and email?

    I'm not sure how iCloud will handle this, but I believe it will allow something along these lines - cloud syncing of the calendar between two. For now, you could just move your calendars to Google calendar and sync it to your iPad - then - you can subscribe to each other's calendars, give priviliges to add events to them, etc.

  • I wanted to know if others were having difficulties getting All Day Events appear in the Notification Center in iOS 7.   Currently my Calendar in the notification center will show events that are at certain times, but they will not display All Day Events.

  • TS4000 I have the 4s Iphone, the ability to add invitees to an event in my calendar has disappeared.  I don't have the option and used all the time.  How do I get that back?

    I have the 4s Iphone, the ability to add invitees to an event in my calendar has disappeared.  How do I get it back?  Why and when did it disppear?  Did an update take it away?

    you don't need to use iTunes to restore your old phone to factory settings.
    Just go into settings on your old iPhone and reset .. it will take it back to factory set-up with the cable showing on the front of the screen.  All your content will be permanently erased from the old iPhone.

  • Calendar Widget in Notification not updated with shared calendar

    Greetings---I'm on OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 and have a Google Calendar shared with me that I would like to appear in the notification pane. It seems, however, that the Calendar widget in Notifications only updates with events that are local to iCalendar. In other words, it does not update with events that are shared from a .ical file online, like a shared Google Calendar.
    Note that this is different from adding a Google account to settings > internet accounts---I only have the url for a shared calendar that I do not own and cannot modify.

    Rebooted and it all came in !

  • Long shot...  Can an entry in Calendar add a new line in Numbers?

    I am a photographer.  I am setting up a very simple simple Job tracking spreadsheet.  Column A is Job number, column B is Client, column C is Date, etc...  One line per job type of thing.
    When I get a job I am often not at the computer so I enter it on my iPhone in the Calendar app.  Is there a way I can add some sort of flag in that entry which will then open my spreadsheet and add a new line with a new sequential job number and the Client and Date?
    I realize that is probably asking for a lot but I thought I would at least ask, just in case...
    Thank you for any help!

    This is a proof-of-concept Applescript that logs events from Calendar into a Numbers spreadsheet. It expects a spreadsheet to be open, it doesn't put new events at the bottom of the table or add new rows if needed, it doesn't move the event from the Unlogged calendar to the Logged calendar. It doesn't do any error-checking (it would fail if you didn't have a calendar called "Unlogged Jobs"). But I think it has potential.
    tell application "Calendar"
              set event_count to (count events of calendar "Unlogged Jobs")
              repeat with x from 1 to event_count
                        tell event x of calendar "Unlogged Jobs"
                                  set {client, sdate, place} to {summary, start date, location}
                        end tell
                        tell application "Numbers"
                                  tell document 1
                                            tell sheet 1
                                                      tell table 1
                                                                tell column 2 to set value of cell (x + 1) to sdate
                                                                tell column 3 to set value of cell (x + 1) to client
                                                                tell column 4 to set value of cell (x + 1) to place
                                                      end tell
                                            end tell
                                  end tell
                        end tell
              end repeat

  • After Maverick, calendar not showing time of event

    on Friday, my OS was updated to Maverick and now my calendar displys the events but no time on the month view. To see time of events I have to go to week view, which I do not like at all... Anyone knows how to get this resolved? The preferences doe nto give me that choice, at least as far as I can tell. Thanks for the help.

    To see event times in month view, you can either make the Calendar window bigger, or, if you want to keep the window small, you can add the time to event titles.
    (IMO, Calendar works best as a full screen app.)

  • Is there a way to list the next 5 appointments on my calendar in the notification area?

    is there a way to list the next 5 appointments on my calendar in the notification area?

    I had that on but it doesn't show anything the reminder only shows up if the event has a reminder set for a specific time. I want to straight up see the next 1,5,... Events in list form. This may not be possible but it would be great. Just like when you are in calendar and display by list.

  • I haven't added events but am getting "This calendar is unreadable. No events have been added to your iCal calendar"

    I recently started getting the message "This calendar is unreadable. No events have been added to your iCal calendar".  However, I typically add my events by typing them myself either on my MacBook Pro or my iPhone. I don't import from outside sources. I don't know if it's related or just coincidental that around the same time, events that I add to my MacBook Pro are not syncing to my iPhone, but the events added by iPhone seem to appear on my MacBook Pro and my MiniMac.  Is there a way to find the event that is being referenced in this error message??

    iPhone:
    Plug in your iPhone
    Go to iTunes > Your iPhone > Info and ensure that calendars is not checked off to sync -- if you are using MobileMe to sync, this option should not be checked
    On both Macs:
    1.) Go to Apple > System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync and remove the check Mark for calendars.  With the new MobileMe calendar system there is no need to have this checked.  Close the MobileMe window once this is complete.
    2.) Open iCal and then go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts and remove the MobileMe account from here with the minus sign.
    3.) Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    4.) Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    5.) Open iCal and go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts
    -- If the MobileMe Account is already here remove it again and then re-add it being very careful to use the correct name and password (for your 10.5 system follow these steps for re-adding: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330)
    -- If the MobileMe account is not already here, add it in.
    iCal will download your calendars from the MobileMe server.  Watch and see if you get the error message.  If it completes the download (little spinning gear stops spinning next to the MobileMe calendar) go ahead and add a new uniquely named event to one of your MobileMe calendars on both computers and see if it syncs between.
    Let us know what happens.

  • Calendar turn off notifications

    Hello. I have a Z30 synced with both my work calendar, and my wife's gmail calendar. I would like to keep both calendars showing on the calendar app and hub, but to just turn off the notifications for her calendar (I don't need to get pop ups for every piano lesson).
    Is there a way to do this?

    Try each of the following steps until the issue is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Create a new calendar. Move the unwanted event(s) into it, then delete the new calendar.
    Step 2
    If the calendar server has a website, like iCloud or Google, log in to the website and delete the event.
    Step 3
    Quit Calendar. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:  
    ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
    Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 4
    Follow the instructions in this support article, then log out, log back in, and test.
    Step 5
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
