Calendar alert issues with ios5

I am having trouble with getting audible calendar alerts on my iPhone 4 with ios5. Ever since I downloaded ios5 about 2 weeks ago, all I can get for alerts on my calendar appointments are vibrating alerts. I have gone to settings and selected an audible alert, but it still only vibrates at alert time. I am able to get audible alerts for text messages, and my "todo" list app, so I believe my volume is set at an appropriate level. Is anyne else experiencing htis, and have you found a solution?

Thanks for the suggestion, I wasn't sure if the default alert would have an impact, since I selected a specific alert time. However, I went into settings and tried to set the defailt time. Same result, I am still onyl getting a vibrating alert, with no audible tone.

Iphone 4s calendar alert issue

I tend to put 2 alerts on my calendar events, one for 1 day before and the second one for 1 hour before (or some other on the day of event). I have noticed that when I put in the first alert for 1 day before and then enter the second alert for 1 hour before and click done they have somehow been reversed, the first alert is now 1 hour before and the second alert is 1 day before. I have to click them again and change them to the proper order, this usually take about 3 tries to get them to stay as I want them. I can them save the event and all is good. I was at the Apple store and the staff duplicated this issue so I know I'm not the only one experiencing this nuissance. Has anyone else come across this? I do hope the upcoming update will fix it.

Update since Genius visit:
1) Apple is working on an update
2) There is no awareness at Apple of this calendar alert issue as a bug, hence it is not being addressed/worked on
3) Solutions offered by Genius have not resolved this issue.
Solutions offered by Genius, in order of which to try first:
1) Delete calendar data from iPhone: Settings>iCloud>Calendars OFF and then restore data from iCloud: Calendars ON
2) Reset iPhone settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
3) Restore to factory settings: Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings, then restore data from iCloud and in-app backups.
4) Use another calendar app (seriously)
Of course, if the bug is actually part of the iOS software (could it be?) then no amount of erasing and restoring data will fix the issue. I completed the first two options with no change, and am not willing to do the third option because I am not interested in going through the process of backing up, then restoring all my third-party apps.
My solution: raise awareness of this issue with Apple, so that it can be worked on and fixed. I have reported it as a bug through Apple's feedback module: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and I encourage-- no, ask-- you to do the same, if you are experiencing this issue. I provided a link to this forum topic to show the variety and detail of problems.
Are you sick of missing alerts, fiddling endlessly, coming up with workarounds, paying for unreliable software, and not being responded to? I am. It's time to rally!

Calendar alert issue

Hi all,
I've got a minor annoying issue. My wife (iPhone 4 with iOS6) and I (iPhone 5 wiht iOS6) share an apple account. On iCloud, we've got two calendars. The first is called "Calendar" which is there for us to put all of our general home stuff (birthdays, vacations, appts, etc) and is intended for both of us to use. I've got a second calendar called "Dan" which is just for me with a bunch of stuff she doesn't care about.
Here's the issue. In Calendar, she clicked "Calendars" and deselected the "Dan" under "iCloud Calendars". The only other calendar her Calendar app now shows is our default shared calendar. So, anything I put on the "Dan" calendar no longer shows up... yay! HOWEVER, alerts from my "Dan" calendar still appear on her phone. In other words, if I put an event called "test" on JUST my "Dan" calendar with an alert to go off at 1:00, at that time, BOTH of our phones go off and display alerts. The Event still doesn't show up in her calendar though.
SO, my question is, how can she make it so alerts from "Dan" calendar don't show up on her phone? It's annoying for her, and not cool for me if I want to put in an event that she shouldn't know about.
Thanks,
Dan P.

My iPhone 4s will not charge in car or truck. It would appear after research that this is a software issue with ios5. Will there ever be a patch to correct this infuriating problem?!!!

Mine charges just fine, as does everyone's iPhone 4S that I know. Apple even sells a number of car chargers that are certified to work:

Perhaps there is a problem with your charger or the outlet you're using in your car/truck.

Didnt read the issues with ios5 until i've done my update. I ve restored my iphone 4, 3 times, and till now it is locked in a loop of the apple logo, loading

Didnt read the issues with iOS5 until i've updated my iPhone 4. Restored 3 times and it is still locked in a loop of - Apple logo, loading, and a flash of "...restore successful...few steps away..." and buzz. Please help

At the end of a Restore, you will be asked if you want the current iPhone to be synched as a New iPhone or use the current iPhone's settings. Selecting the former since to have solved the messaging problem. If u have done back-up of the "old" iPhone on iTunes, then your New iPhone will be the "old" iPhone too after synching with iTunes :)

Calendar invites issues with Notes invites

I am having issues with invites from Lotus Notes. The invites are coming marked as an hour later than they should be. It would seem that the timezone (or perhaps the daylight savings time) settings are wrong and iCal is creating them an hour later than they should be. We have tried specifying the timezone in the Notes account, but it still comes in wrong.
Invites from other people (e.g. Outlook) are coming in correctly.
Has anyone seen this before and do you know how I can resolve this?
Thank you.

I finally resolved this... by changing everything over to a new laptop. I had been running iTunes on a Vista desktop, and moved Outlook and iTunes to a Win7 x64 laptop. Once I got everything installed, I copied the iTunes folder to the laptop, transferred the purchases, backed up the iPhone and iPad to the new iTunes, and then synched them. Set iTunes to sync Calendar, Contacts, Mail, and Notes on both, and resynched. Once this was done and I verified that everything was intact on both the iPhone and the iPad, I tried entering a calendar event on the phone and then did another sync. The event showed up in Outlook. I then deleted the event from Outlook and did another sync and the event was gone from the iPhone. Did the same with the iPad and got the same results. So this apparently was something related to the desktop or Vista; I never got it resolved on the desktop. Not sure what it could be, but now that it's resolved I'm going to leave it alone. Maybe after I upgrade to an iPhone 5, I might try messing with the iPhone 4s on the Vista desktop. If I do, and happen to get it resolved, I'll surely post something regarding that.

8310 Running 4.2.2 having Calendar Accept Issue with Red X - Intermitten

Have an executive with a Blackberry 8310 on a BES who has an issue were from time to time when he tries to accept a calendar invitation on his blackberry it gives him a Red X and he can not accept. We have worked this issue with RIM and have not come up with a solution as of yet. Running exchange 2003 SP2 and Outlook 2003 SP2 he has an assistant who gets copies of his invitations but this behavior happens during the day and at night both .
Does not happen to every invitation. We can temporarily solve it usually when we reboot the MS exchange serve he is on . We have run ISINTEG check on his maildatabase no errors.
Any Thoughts Ideas ?
Thanks,
David

IOS Calendar Synch Issue with Google - iOS 8.1.3

I upgraded to iOS 8.1.3 a few days ago, and since then, am finding that my iPhone is not synching properly with changes to my Google calendar made on other devices. Opening iOS calendar presents me with the spinning wheel for several minutes. To rectify the problem, I have to reboot or shut down the device entirely. When it comes back on, everything works fine.
If this happened just once, I would have chocked it up to an anomaly. However, the behavior I described just happened for the second time in three days. First time was on LTE and this morning while my device was on my home FiOS WiFi.
Nothing else appears awry, and upon reboot via a "soft" shut-down or hard reboot, calendar functions return to normal.
Appreciate some input ....
Many thanks.

I Found if I do a soft reset it triggers my phone to start working though it lasts for 20-30 minutes and resorts back to issue again. I've also noticed AirPlay no longer functions properly which I realized after I updated my iPad to 8.1.3 which I regularly used for AirPlay so I tried it on my iPhone and it didn't work as well I tried it on my wife's iPhone and hers no longer works either. Wow! Disappointed to say the least. I know I can't be the only one frustrated with these 8+ updates as I've read it seems to be ongoing with thousands of others reporting online. It's not just the hard earned money spent on Apple products though when life becomes dependent upon using the products it seriously interfere with use

Calendar display issue after iOS5 update

Everything went well with my first-gen iPad's iOS5 update. However, the issue I'm seeing now is that, sporadically, I will tap on the Calendar icon and there are no events displayed (the calendar always comes up in "Month" view). However, if I "turn the page" to the next or previous month and then come back to the current month, the events are all back. I turned iCloud off, thinking this was, perhaps, the culprit but this behavior still occurs. Again, this only happens maybe once out of every four or five launches of the calendar app but is still annoying nevertheless.iOS5 on my iPhone 4 is not doing this (not yet, at least...).
I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else is experiencing a similar thing and if so, is there something I'm missing to resolve it?

I just created a new thread about this. This has occurred twice now since iOS 5 on my original iPad. My default view is Month and when I launched the app on these occasions it opened to all dates blank. Frightened me at first thinking iCloud had wiped all my events out of my calendars however I discovered that if I changed the view to year, week or whatever the events were all there and remained when I switched back to month. So far this has only happened on my iPad and not on our iPhones all running iOS 5 or on our computers syncing through iCloud.
We need to leave feedback about this. Seems to be an iPad only issue.

IPhone 2.0 exchange calendar sync issue with PUSH enabled

I have setup Push sync over Exchange for my iPhone. If I accept an incoming meeting request it does not update Entourage calendar. If I change delivery setting to fetch, the issue disappears. Is this a known bug? BTW - several of my work colleagues have noted the same issue. All are Entourage users too.

You can accept/decline/mark tentative any meetings sent to you, and you can also edit meetings you create (whether on the phone or in Outlook, OWA, etc).
IMPORTANT: make sure your user name for the Exchange account as entered on your iPhone exactly matches the case of the user name set up on the Exchange server. (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your-Exchange-Account > Account Info). Set both the Email and Username fields to exactly match the case of your email and username on Exchange. Look up yourself in the Exchange Address Book in Outlook and see how it's entered. i.e. [email protected] must be entered in the iPhone with the same capitalization. I also edited my own contact cards to match -- just to be sure.
Otherwise, the iPhone gets confused with meeting invites and might ask you to Accept/Maybe/Decline your own meetings! If this is the case, you also won't be able to edit meetings on the iPhone even if you create them.
As far as i know, the above is only true for Exchange accounts. I had this problem, and solved it last night.

IPod touch 4G battery issue with iOs5...battery goes dry in less than a day after upgrading to iOs 5...why is that?

hi people out there...!
I have an iPod Touch 4G purchased on november 2010, and since then until two days ago, I had iOs 4.3.x and everything went very good about battery charge...I used to have my iPod on standby mode for several days, and never had a trouble with it...
but two days ago, I upgraded to iOs 5, and then and there, the troubles began...my battery lasts no more than a day, even on standby mode...
NO wifi on, NO bluetooth on, no movies watched, no games played, just using Virtuoso Piano free app for minutes...
is the new iOs 5 having trouble about managing battery?
anyone of you have same trouble?
anyone of you know about a solution?
I was searching on the web about this issue, and several comments I've found out, but I would like to know about it from the Apple themselves...
thanks for your time people...Light to all of us...!!!

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter..
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.
I'm not saying that you don't have a problem. However, I am saying that we don't know.

YAHOO CALENDAR NOT SYNCING WITH IOS5

After upgrading to IOS5, I cannot get my phone to sync with Yahoo's calendar. The e-mail and contacts are fine, but I've tried every which way I can think of, including using the cloud, and can not get it to work. It was working fine with the old operating system.

This is a problem with Yahoo! Not with your phone or settings. I've been waiting for them to sort this out but decided to switch over to the Google calander instead of putting my life on hold. If you want to do this set up a gmail account for a calander. Go to your yahoo calander on line. Click on your calander title (eg. Bill's calander) then select edit calander export it as an iCal file to your desktop. Go back to google calendar and import the file you saved on the desktop. Your calander will now transfer to google. You will need to edit your all day events (google calander will assume they run from midnight to midnight) but once you have done this set up calander sync on your iPhone via gmail, dump the calander sync from yahoo and your up and syncing over the air again.

New Calendar Sync Issue with new iPad2

My calendar has synched flawlessly with my google calendar and Mac previously, but since adding a new iPad2 to the mix, I am having some issues.
I noted today that when I made a change on the MBP, the iPad calendar was not updated during a sync. So I checked the settings and "sync calendars" was not checked. Odd since it always synched in the past.
So I selected sync calendars and got the message that over 2000 entries would be added or modified on the MBP. I have also chosen to not sync events more than 30 days old but some of these items go back to 2006.
An example.
Event happening in April of 2008 shows no original date (whatever that means) so the modification is to add an original date of 12/31/00.
I have no clue what this is about or why the iPad sync is not working correctly.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

try removing proxy settings on gprs connection and try again. Sounds like a proxy problem.
I still own a NOKIA 6250 KUDOS others as You Would Like to be KUDOSed! There are only 10 kinds of people in the world, ones who digg binary and ones who dont

Calendar Sync Issue With repeating entry deletions Notes 8.5 to BB

I have an issue where when synchronizing may calendar with Lotus Notes version 8.5, the Blackberry will delete repeating entries. Specifically, if I load the Blackberry with all my calendar entries from Notes and then in one entry in my Notes calendar a "single" occurance of a meeting gets canceled .. the next time I sync with the Blackberry it deletes "all" occurances of that meeting from the BB. The entries remain correct on Lotus Notes. The only way I can seem to fix that is to reset sync setting and reload the calendar to the BB all over again, and then this occurs again .... this happens with both V5 and V6 of the BB Desktop Software. Has anyone seen this and is there a fix ?

Help! iPad calendar sync issues with Exchange server

Hello, I've googled this issue and haven't come across with any definitive answer so I'll put it up here to see if anyone have any idea(s).
iPad 3G/Wifi working fine for over a month (firmware 3.2.1) synching with MS Exchange server (only Mail account on the device), over the weekend, calendar entries have disappeared. I've deleted the mail profile and reset it up again, here's what happens, email starts to pull down, same with contacts and Calendar entries, then while Calendar App is open on Month view I can see that the appointments are also being sync then after about a minute, all the entries will just disappear, if I wait a few more minutes, the appointments will start to repopulate again then disappear again after about a minute! Email and contacts are fine, just this Calendar issue.
More background data: User is using an iMac with Entourage 2008, his EA has full email rights to his mailbox and have his email profile on Outlook 2003, both are showing correct Calendar entries on desktop, have also checked the account on OWA and it looks fine there as well.
I'm guessing a corrupt calendar entry (possibly re-occuring appointment)... Does any one have any other thoughts?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!!!

I have been having very similar issues to those described by Imola. The calendar appears to try to load, and a few appointments may show up, but then they will all (or almost all) dissapear. My company uses Exchange 2003.
Occassionally, deleting a large attachement has helped. But not always. Several times in the past, I have exported all my calendar entries as a .csv file, deleted all the calendar entries in Outlook, and then re-imported the .csv file. While this always works to re-populate my calendar, it also strips functionality (like recurring appointments).
This is very frustrating, and results in me havinging to rely on my Blackberry while traveling, when I would like to just trust the data in the iPad. A web search clearly shows that many people have this issue, but I have not yet seen any direct responses from Apple. I hope this is addressed soon.
