Calendar Alerts turning on when not originally set

Hi,
I'm having an issue where I create a calendar event without an alert however come the event time an alert goes off! This is really annoying when I set an all day event and get woken up by a rogue alert at midnight! It happens on every event I set up. I've checked when setting up an event that an alert isn't originally requested but if I go into that event after saving it states that an alert is set - why is this?
I've checked in settings and the only thing I see that could impact this is "new invitation alerts" but this is set to Off. Does anyone know how I can fix this or what is causing it? I'm using an iPhone 4 fully updated. Any advice would be great as I'm fed up of the midnight alerts!

I'm having a similar problem to this. I just got a 3gs (OS4.2.1 I think) and if I set an event in the calendar it makes an alert for 10 minutes before. If I go in and turn off the alert it resets it for 10 minutes before. This is getting beyond annoying as I don't want alerts for the vast majority of events I create. Thanks.

Copied query not changeable when "Changeable Original" setting used.

Hi
We are letting users create queries in Production. All the authorisations are working as designed. We have settings for query elements set to "Changeable Original" in the object changeability.
When a user creates a new query they can save it, change it, save copies, all as required. The expectation is that they would be able to copy a query that originated in another system but was transported and save it under a new technical name and change it. This is not possible. It is as though the system thinks that the copy originated in the other system and as such cannot be changed.
If we change the query elements to "Changeable Everything" it all works but we do not want this setting for obvious reasons.
Has anyone come accross this? Can anyone suggest a way to fix this issue?
Thanks
Gareth

Hi Chetan, VNK
Thanks for your replies...
We have made the decision to allow query developement to a limited user community in Production. This has it's own name space different from the name space used for the transported queries. There are many reasons for this approach which i won't go into (unless you want me to...)!
The users do have the correct access to create in production. They are able to create and change new reports within their namespace within their InfoArea and all that is working fine. I would expect that opening and existing query in production and saving a copy in their namespace, that the new query should be changeable. Would you not expect this? You are correct, i do not want them to be able to change queries that originated in the development environment but the name space control combined with the changeable original setting in object changeability should control this.
The error i get is not a transport error...it is a system changeability error suggesting that the system thinks the new query was not created in production.
Any further ideas?
Thanks
Gareth

Mail, Message and Calendar alerts turned ON

How do you set or tuned on alerts tone for mail, messages and calendar event to continues reminds you until cancelled, thanks for your help, I'm using 3g with firmware 3.0.

Actually, you don't.
Mail will give you one aural alert. The badge on the screen's mail icon is the only other indication of unread mail.
For messages, go to Settings -> Messages and turn Repeat Alert on or oﬀ. If you ignore a message alert, you’ll be alerted two more times.
When you add a calendar event, you can set an alert from 5 minutes to 2 days before an event. Once you set an alert, you have the option to set a second.
There is no way to set continuing alerts until acknowledged.

Should Wireless Router be turned off when not in use?

I successfully installed the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router Model WRT54G. It was very easy.
I notice that it now appears to be "on" all the time, and I use my home PC & Laptop perhaps up to about only 2 hours a day. Should I be turning it off when not in use? Is it a potential security risk to always have it on? If I do turn it off, is the only way to unplug the power adapter? I can not locate any on/off button on the router.
Thanks,
Adam

You said your router was "very easy" to set up. I hope that this does not mean that you skipped setting up security. If your wireless router is not secured, having it on or using it is a security risk. If your router is secured, then it is OK to leave it on 24/7.
If your wireless is not secured, anyone in the area can log into your router and use your DSL line. At a minimum, this wastes your bandwidth. At a maximum, someone could send spam, visit child porn sites, distribute viruses, and give away copyrighted music --- all from a DSL account with your name on it!    Additionally, if your router is not secured, others can see what you are doing on the net, including seeing your bank account numbers, passwords, and credit card numbers. So my advice is ... secure your system.
In order to keep intruders off of your wireless system, you need to enable wireless security. To do this, pick an SSID and don't broadcast it. Encrypt your wireless system using the highest level of encryption that all of your wireless devices will support. Common encryption methods are:
WEP - poor  (see note below)
WPA - good
WPA2 - best
WPA and WPA2 sometimes come in versions of "personal" and "enterprise".   Most home users should use "personal". Also, if you have a choice between AES and TKIP, and your wireless equipment is capable of both, choose AES.
The wireless devices (computers, printers, etc.) that you have will need to be set up with the SSID, encryption method, and passwords that match those you entered in the router.
For additional security, on many routers, you can limit wireless access to just the MAC addresses of the wireless devices that you own. If possible, you should definitely use this feature.
And don't forget to give your router a new login password.
Also, when you pick your login password, SSID, and encryption key (or password or passphrase) you should use a random combination of capital letters, small letters, and numbers. An SSID, or a login password, should be 12 characters or more.  WPA and WPA2 passwords should be at least 32 characters.
Note below: Recently the FBI demonstrated that WEP can be broken in under 5 minutes using standard, internet available, cracking tools. This suggests that virtually all wireless users should upgrade their wireless equipment to WPA or better.

Shared calendar sending change notifications when not turned on?

Is any one else haveing the issue? The wife and I share calendars. When she makes a chane I am receiving an email even though that feature is turned off. Or is iCloud having issues. This just started this evening.
Thanks
LarryV

At arby2008's suggestion, I called Apple Support. SEVENTY phone and desktop sharing minutes later, I can tell you there is no change to the situation.
The technician has now "verified" that I (we) have a problem. He has "collected information" and esclated this to Apple Engineering.
He watched as I created events in my calendar and toggled back and forth to my husband's email to watch the notifications come in. We tried it in the reverse (creating events in my husband's calendar and looking at my email: same situation). We tried turning ON the "send email" switch box to see if the controls were just reversed (they're not - it sends email either way).
The only way to stop receiving the notification emails is to stop sharing for now.
I did mention this support discussion and he saw the thread open on my computer during desktop sharing so he knows I'm not the only person affected by this.
It's not good news - but at least it's information.

Images turn pink when not at original size in Mountain Lion

Hi. My wife and I both have mac book pros running Mountain Lion (10.8.5). When viewing images both online and in PDFs, the images change such that they are overlayed with a semi-transparent pink rectangle. Is this an issue with my Adobe programs or an apple bug? I have found no mention of this problem using google. Thanks.

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

IOS8 Calendar Alert - Time to Leave - Not Appearing?

Hi,
I'm a little confused (which some may say isn't hard) around the calendar app on iOS8. As I understood if you entered a location for the calendar entry which was recognised and showed up with a nap then you could go to alert & set to 'Time to Leave' this is also referenced in iOS8 iBooks guide. (
“f you add a location and choose Alert > Time to leave, Calendar reminds you of the event based on the current travel time to get there.”
Excerpt From: Apple Inc. “iPhone User Guide For iOS 8.” Apple Inc., 2014. iBooks.

However this option doesn't show on my iPhone 5S with iOS8 or my partners iPhone 5.
any help would be much appreciated - one point location services are on and on for calendar.
Thanks,
Mark

I have this option on my iPad 4 but not on my iPhone 5.

HT204053 I have another Apple ID from when I originally set up this iPod, now I can't reset it as I am also set up with Find My iPhone which may have been doen by mistake I have been in contact with Apple itself and they can't fix the problem so far

i have originally forgotten my pass code for a new iPod Touch, now I have with Apple's help reset it to factory, my issue is due to the change in my Apple ID , the iPod will not let me set it up under the new Id or the old one.I also have been set up with find my iPhone and I don't remember if I did this or not, could have been the grand children trying to help out. Any ideas or suggestions, I haven't even used this yet and I have owned it for 6months already. Really am disappointed that the process is so difficult to navigate.

I have also noticed the same "problem". I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

Seagate FreeAgent Desk (Mac) turns on when not in use?

Hi,
I just bought a 1TB Seagate FreeAgent for mac. It is all working fine, I have partitioned it to use half for time machine and half as just an external hard drive. It turns on every hour to back up, and sleeps after that, but I find it turns on a couple more times in the hour when it is not backing up and the storage partition isn't in use either.
It's quiet so I don't mind when it turns on to back up, but it's a bit annoying when it comes on when it's not in use.
Any ideas appreciated,
Thanks.

nwgjackson,
Welcome to the Forums! I think what you are seeing is one spotlight indexes regularly so that its easy for you to find things, and when the disk is plugged to your mac it periodically reads what is on the disk so that you can easily access it if you so wish.

I Originally put in a wrong number in my birthdate when creating my new account. How can I get past this problem to fix this?

Go to My Apple ID to manage your iCloud ID, sign in and select the Passwords and Security section, answer the two security questions to the right, then enter the correct birthdate on the bottom right.

2nd Generation Will not turn on when not connected to laptop or docking station?

Looking for advice to fix my 2nd generation nano. Could it be a battery issue? Can the battery be replaced? It is fully charged when removed from the docking station? Help!!!

If you update the iPod software to the latest version (1.1) you should be able to power off the iPod. If that doesn't work especially since you restored it's most likely a hardware issue with the iPod. If so, contact AppleCare or visit an Apple Retail Store so they can setup a repair for you.

Should the Airport be turned off when not in use?

Yes Or No, on or off?

There has always been two equally divided camps when it comes to leaving electronic equipment running 24x7 or powering-off. I think it really depends on what your requirements are for the base station.
The AEBSn draws about 22 watts of power when running, about the same as a low wattage incandescent light bulb ... and puts out about the same amount of heat.
