Have problem setting Email alerts for Calendar events. Warning message says I need to set up a card in Contacts with my email. I do but it doesn't recognize it. How do I indicate the email I want alerts sent to?

The system of setting up email alerts for Calendar events worked fine in Snow Leopard but since I upgraded to Mt. Lion Calendar won't let me set email alerts. When I try, I get an error message saying I need to set up a card in Contacts for my email. I have a card set up in Contacts for both of my email addresses but it doesn't recognize them. Perhaps the name I have on the card doesn't match a name that Calendar is looking for. Calendar doesn't seem to have a way in Preferences or elsewhere to indicate the email I want alerts sent to. Any ideas how I can get this system working again? Thanks for your help.

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
See if another contact is marked as this is my card.

Is there a way to exclude specific calendars from Notifications and alerts?

I have 4 calendars: 1 Exchange and 1 Yahoo that includes 2 shared calendars (wife and MIL). I activate the Yahoo calendars only when I need them and do not need any yahoo reminders at all. When I swipe down the Notifications page, it includes all four calendars including the shared Yahoo calendars. What's worse, I get alerts from all four calendars.
I only want Exchange alerts and notifications. Is there a way to exclude the Yahoo calendars from Notifications and alerts?
Right now, the only way I can eliminate them is by deactivating the Yahoo account in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

Is there a way to only choose specific contacts from an existing group and add to a new group?
I mean there has be a faster way than typing everybody by hand..

Calendar first and second alerts switch on their own

Hi, I've been having this problem for a while with my iPhone 4, wondering if anyone can help.
I've tried looking if there's already a thread for this issue, but couldn't find one -- maybe I'm just not using the correct keywords.
Every time I set my first and second alerts on my calendar appointment and saved them, they seem okay, but 2 minutes later when I go back to the same appointment, the first and second alerts switch on their own, e.g.: I set first alert to go on 2 hours before and second alert to go on 1 hour before the appointment. Save. When I return 2 minutes later, first alert turned to 1 hour before and second alert 2 hours before.
Which is silly, since who needs their second alert to be farther than their actual appointment? Even iphone knows this and cancels the second alert altogether. By the time I've been alerted, I only have an hour to get ready for my next appointment.
Anyone has encoutered this problem and has successfully solved them? I've tried setting my default time zone under setting to local, and even turning off iCloud, to no success.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have found what appears to be a resolution to this issue, when I add an event and I select the event time, the date time scroller opens up allowing me to select the time of the event.
The issue occurs when I leave this selector expanded and continue to set the event properties. When the time selector is still open and you select the alert times, it swaps the alerts every time. When you collapse the event time selectors before choosing the alert times, the alerts are not switched.
This bug appears to be an issue with the scrolling selector form item if there is more than one open it appears to error out.
If you don't know how to collapse the event time selector, once you have selected the time, click on the date/time that is in red text just above it and it will collapse the selector.
Hopefully this fixes the issue for others, and it is ridiculous that this has gone one for so long, not a good way to keep your customers Apple, my wife was so aggravated at this that she was about to cancel her iPhone.

Calendar is creating unwanted Alerts

I use Calendar on iCloud across four devices: iMac, MacBookAir, iPad and iPhone. All running current (10.8.3; 6.1.3) OS.
Recently, Alerts are being added to my Calendar events on the iOS devices, and I don't know how this is occuring.
Example: Suppose I create a recurring event in Calendar on my iMac... to Get Up at 6 a.m. every day, and I make sure I don't create an alert. That event appears on my iMac with no alert.
However, when I open it on my iPad and iPhone, it has an alert: At time of event. Where did this come from?
I have checked that all default alerts are set to off in Calendar preferences on the computers, and also on the iOS devices in Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Calendars / Default, and also accessing iCloud preferences via Safari.
I have tried logging out of my iCloud account on both iOS devices, deleting everything, and signing on, and it does the same thing with every single event. It adds the alerts that I don't want.
Also intriguing, if I DO set an alert in a new event on the iMac, the event shows up on the iOS devices with TWO alerts.
This began out of the blue about two weeks ago, and I can't find a solution. I am getting a lot of alerts that I do not want.
Does anyone else have the same problem? ...And hopefully a solution?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having a similar problem. The Calendar app in iOS (iPhone 4S) is automatically setting for me a second alert for events that is nine hours after the event itself. I have not set any second alert as a default, and even if I did I wouldn't set the alert for nine hours later. Still, I changed my default alerts on Calendar in both iOS and OSX (Mountain Lion) to "none"; I have switched off iCloud sync for Calendar; and I have made sure my reminders in Google are also set to "none". I am still having the problem. I have visited my local Apple store. Unfortunately, the associate didn't understand why I was having the problem either and thus could offer no solution. The only thing that works is going into the Calendar app and manually deleting the second alert for each event, which isn't really a solution to the problem. I have sent a report into Apple about this, but I too welcome any advice.

How change default alert in Calendar?

Hello
Because the default sound "Basso" isn't the best alert sound for me I want to change the default sound of Calendar items in Mountain Lion.
I was able to do this in the past, with Lion, but unfortunately this isn't possible anymore I see...
Changing the com.apple.iCal.plist file doesn't help, since this plist file doesn't exist anymore.
And despite what I saw on several websites (see http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/80_os_x_mountain_lion_tips_and_tricks#slid e-3), I can't change this in Calendar neither (see image here below)
I checked the settings in notification centre, where I can choose to have sound alerts for calendar, or not, but cannot adapt the default sound.
Can you please help?

Hi,
here is a solution that is working for me in 10.9.5 (thanks to Wakko from http://iszene.com/thread-165772-post-1927711.html#pid1927711)
(Make TimeMachine backup)
Quit calendars
Go to ~/Library/Calendars. Here, for each calendar there is a folder with its UUID (i. e. 9C36543C-8BA1-4264-8E3F-C1BB9FB207BE.calendar). To find out what calendar it is referring to open info.plist within it. Chose the calendar's folder you want to change the alarm sound for. It should also be containging the folder /LocalDefaultAlarms with the two files EventAllDayAlarms.icsalarm and EventTimedAlarms.icsalarm. If it does not open calendars and create a test event in that calendar. Go to 2.
Open EventAllDayAlarms.icsalarm and EventTimedAlarms.icsalarm. Find the line ATTACH;VALUE=URI:basso and change basso to the sound you like. I had to place the sound file in /System/Library/Sounds.
(By the way: If you want to change the default hour for alerts for all day events, change TRIGGER:-PT15H accordingly. PT stands for pacific time, -PT15H means 9 AM (15 hours before beginning of the day).)
Reboot
EventAllDayAlarms.icsalarm and EventTimedAlarms.icsalarm are re-created and reset to basso each time calendar prefs are saved. So, in order to prevent overwriting your manual settings accidentally, set them to read only.
Good luck!

Calendar: Over-riding Default Alert

I have a default alert set up for calendar entries.
Sometimes, for a specific event, I want to have a different alert time period. If I try to over-ride the default, then both the new and the default show up. I only want the new one. Is it possible to do this?
Side question:
...I'm not sure if I set the default up in icloud or on my phone. Would that matter? Or is this setting shared between both places?

There is an iTunes global setting to not automatically sync when any iPod or iPhone is connected - iTunes > Preferences under the Devices tab.
When syncing calendar events and contacts with an empty supported calendar and address book application on your computer, doing so will erase all calendar events and contacts on the iPhone. Before syncing calendar events with an empty Outlook calendar, enter one calendar event in Outlook. Make this event up if needed which can be deleted later. This should provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select.
Contacts and calendar events are included with your iPhone's backup, which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process. If syncing with Outlook erases all calendar events from your iPhone, do not sync your iPhone again before restoring your iPhone with iTunes. Select Restore under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences and when prompted to backup or update your iPhone's backup, decline this prompt.

My iphone calendar keeps changing the alert and second alert times I put in

Ever since updating to 7.0.2, my Iphone calendar keeps changing the alert and second alert times I input for an event to different times. Why is it doing this and how can I fix it?

Are you syncing your phone with iTunes and then with iCloud? This can cause duplicates. Sync with one or the other, but not both.

7-day advance alerts in Calendar

Is there any possible way of modifying the Calendar to allow for alerts 1 week before an event? At the moment the maximum alert time available is 2 days before, which is too late for sending birthday cards etc. This seems like such a simple modification -- surely there's a way it could be done! I live in an area with no mobile phone coverage and am sometimes away from email, so reminder apps like ReQall that rely on email or SMS alerts are no good to me -- I need something that will stand alone on the iPhone (rather like I had on my good old Nokia mobile!)

If you sync your iPhone calendar to one of the supported desktop calendars, you can set the alert in that app and it will carry over to the iPhone.

Receiving double alerts from Calendar ...

Hi,
I am experincing double email alerts from Calendar. Not all alerts are doubled though.
As an example, I asked Calendar to send me an email 7 days before my November 5th appointment. The appointment is sceduled from 4H00PM (16H00) to 5H00PM (17H00). I received 2 emails ... one at 5H00PM (17H00) and one at 5H21PM (17H21). See the picture below.
Why am I receiving 2 email alerts ? Could this be related to the Calendar app on my iPad or my iPhone ? But then I would receive 3 alerts ... !!!
Regards.
Robert Lespérance

Hi camilla262,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums!
Since syncing will transfer all calendar events as they are on Outlook (or Exchange server), it may not be possible to filter out this information on the phone.
What you can do though, is to disable the calendar notifications on your device.
To turn off all Calendar notifications (sound alerts):
Menu > Calendar > Options > Settings > Calendar alarm tone > None

I have a MacBook Air OS X, Version 10.7.5 and when open my Apple Calendar, I get the alert "encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct. Anyone? The error message comes very often but my calendar DOES still work.

I went to System Preferences; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; Under my mail address I unchecked "Calendars and Reminders" then rebooted the system. When it restarted I went back and checked "Calendars and Reminders" again and now it is working again.

How to configure an Alert message if communicationChannel(JMS) stops

All,
Is there a way how to configure an alert when the communication channel stops.
<b>Scenario:</b>
In the path Runtime workbench->Component Monitoring->Adapter Engine->Communication Channel monitoring, if we see that a communication channel has stopped(RED traffic light as Status), then can we trigger an alert notification for same.
Currently we have alrerts configured for any message/s failure in the JMS Adapter Framework. So can we trigger simmilar alerts when a comm channel stops(for whatever reason).
Thanks in advance
RK

Hi Sreeram,
Thanks for the quick reply.
We have a scenario where we activate individual channels at a given time. So in this case, Adapter will always be in RED as all queues are never running in our scenario.
So we need an ALERT to be triggered for individual comm channels. Is theer any way that you can think of ?
Thanks and regards
RK

Anyone having issues syncing iPhone with Microsoft Outlook 2007? iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts. It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

Anyone having issues syncing iPhone 3GS with Microsoft Outlook 2007? iTunes says it is syncing but it will not update calendar or contacts. It just stopped working a few weeks ago.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only person struggling with exact issue. I've rebooted, upgraded, re-installed, pulled all my hair out as nothing works.
The biggest dissapointment with this thread is that nobody seems to have responded with a solution.
And yes I've managed to pull together enough intellegence to tick the box "sync to outlook" in iTunes - still nothing man.
Definately does not sync from phone to PC and is very hit and miss on PC to Phone. In other words now running 2 seperate calendars - Not helpful Jan.
