Calendar and Alarms

I used the N900 to sync my Exchange calendar for the past month. At some point the Exchange sync got stuck into a loop an kept bring-in in the old entries. As result I was getting alarm reminders non stop.
I couldn't use the phone at all. Since the power button was useless the only solution was to remove the battery.
On startup the process started again. I manged to recover by removing the SIM and disabling the Exchange sync.
Now the Calendar app fills the CPU whenever is started directly or by the e-mail client.
I cannot remove the calendar.
Does anyone have any solution to clean the calendar entries ?
Thank you!

Hi,
Here's how you can delete all calendar entries from your calendar (Calendar app open):
1. Tap the title bar
2. Select Settings
3. Select Edit calendars
4. Select calendar you're using - most probably N900, local.
5. Select Delete. Now you should get the following message: "N900 calendar can not be deleted. Delete all calendar content instead?" Select Yes and that should do the trick.
Cheers.

The calendar events and alarms are off by 3 hours since updating to iOS 4.3

I updated to iOS 4.3 last night, and I have a problem where my Calendar times have been offset by 3 hours.
It states that I have an event that on Google Calendar that is set at 12 PM - 9 PM today, however when I view my iPhone calendar that the event goes from 9 AM - 6 PM.
In addition, the alarm for the event has been offset 3 hours AFTER the event. My alarm, which is set ten minutes before the event, went off at 2:50 PM.
Any thoughts? I have the event set to EST in Google Calendar, and the time is correct in Google Calendar.

Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions, Darby.
Is the Time Zone set correctly on your iPhone? Look in Settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down and make sure the Time Zone is set to the correct Time Zone.
If thats not it, this Apple document might help -> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2339.

Mix between MS Outlook Calendar and Mac Contacts - how I got to work

I've tried to mix my work PC computer with Microsoft Outlook Calendar with my Mac based iPhone. This is how I did it. Can this be done by mobileme?
For Now it this works with Outlook over USB.
My Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 windows XP within firewall is now synchronized to my Phone
It now works great .. even if not wireless [can live with that..at least for now] and even if attachment does not sync no pdf, word, excel or pictures in the notes is synchronized.
Amazingly simple, I'm sure I tried this before ..but maybe the 2.01 changed something or iTunes 7.7.1 ..
My set up
I have my master mac synced to the iPhone itself i.e. iPod/music and pictures
I have my contacts and mail synced as MobileMe.
I Turned off the iCal MobileMe
I connected the office laptop with usb connector to iPhone. ..it asks for where/how to sync photos. [To turn this off: On PC go to Control panel- Scanners & Hardware - Cameras. Select "Apple iPhone" ] and opens ITunes.
ITunes ask what to do since my iPhone is linked with another computer.. I click merge, make sure nothing on the iTunes is selected ..more than calendar and outlook.
Appears to sync fawlessy and update both to and from iPhone… subject and location and notes sync but no attachment. Notes have a characther limit. with a meeting request, I do not seam to be able to access participants. With alarm set this pops up even with screen/iPhone locked similar to how a SMS is displayed
It appears that most of the time I need to reconnect because ITunes reports "ITunes cannot sync information because sync has been disabled…Do you want to enable syncing" Clicking OK appears to fix it i.e. at least fix it temporarily
Syncing with MS Outlook works with it running but also when not running.
The first sync took some time, possibly because it also backs up the iPhone [some 10gb data]. Repeated sync takes a minute or less
..and in atypical PC fashion you need to restart iTunes and disconnect iPhone from time to time.
Great!

The HP applications no longer work under Snow Leopard. Support for printing and scanning with HP devices is now built in to the OS. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669. Updated HP drivers are available at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
I was unsure about which HP software to delete so I used the HP uninstall app to delete it all. Unfortunately, it deleted the new Snow Leopard installed drivers as well. I then had to download the HP driver set from Apple to restore functionality. Printing is just as it was before, but scanning is done differently and feels a bit strange at first. All in all, it is probably a good thing as I always found HP's software to be a bit clunky and crash prone. I do miss being able to scan from within Photoshop via the TWAIN selection, though. Perhaps that will return in time.

Outlook keeps adding appointments and alarms for no reason

I'm running Office 2010 and Outlook 2010 and Windows 7. Yesterday my system did an auto upgrade. Since then my calendar adds these phantom appointments and alarms me of a pending meeting in 15 minutes. This continuously occurs for no reason and I can't get
it to stop. I did a system restore to get back to the version prior to the upgrade but it stills occurs I ran troubleshoot Outlook through the control Panel and this didn't help.
Please help

Hi,
Please try to restart Outlook by running Outlook /cleansniff to deletes duplicate reminder messages and running Outlook /cleanreminders to clears and regenerates reminders. If it doesn’t work, please check whether the issue happens in Outlook Online mode
and webmail client.
If the issue doesn’t happen in webmail but happen in Outlook Online mode, please disable any related third party programs and start Outlook in safe mode to have a try. If the issue doesn’t continue in Online mode, please create a new Outlook profile to have
a try.
Thanks,

Notification sounds and alarm vibrate

How do I change the sound for notifications from third-party apps (e.g. App of the Day)? By notifications, I mean the banners on the lock screen or on the top of the screen. When I go to sounds in settings, there is no option for notification sounds (iOS 8.0.2). It only has voicemail, calendar and reminder alerts. Also, is it possible to turn off vibration for the alarm and timer?

Look in settings within the app itself. If the apps do not offer that setting within the app, you can't change the sound. Not all apps give you the option.

Getting alarms for events in delegate calendar, but alarm not set in event

I use iCal as a front-end to Google Apps calendar (gCal). I am using the CalDAV interface to gCal. I set up iCal to sync 1) with my gCal and 2) with 2 other gCals, of business associate, via iCal delegates. This is mostly working. In iCal I see the events for all 3 calendars and syncing seems OK.
The problem is that for one of the delegate calendars, I get Alarm pop-ups for every event scheduled by that colleague. In most cases I am not an attendee in the event. When I look at the event settings, in this delegate calendar, the "Alarm" is set to none.
I'd really like to stop getting this extraneous Alarm pop-ups. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Actually, not quite ditto. I am not using gCal. I have a CalDAV server, with two calendars served, my wife's and mine. Each of us is a delegate of the other. On iCal on her computer, she has "ignore alerts" set for all my calendars, and this works. However, she gets the alerts on her iphone. I cannot find an option to "ignore alerts" for the iPhone calendar app. What am I missing here?

ICal and Alarms

I have numerous recurring events set up in my iCal. Everything transferred over fine using BlackBerry for Mac Desktop Manager, but when you look at the event on the BlackBerry itself, no reminder/alarm shows. The alarm still works on my computer. Any idea why this isn't transferring over?
Thanks.

I finally got everything on my BB correctly, but it took a lot of work that some might not want to go through.
1. I uninstalled and removed any files associated with PocketMac.
2. I uninstalled Desktop manager.
3. I corrected all the information on my Mac. This took a long time, and I had to remove some calendars that were read-only. They weren't being used anymore, so it wasn't a big deal. I have 3 calendars.
4. I created archives of iCal, Address book and Notes.
5. I reinstalled Desktop manager.
6. I wiped the BB. Yeah, I had to erase everything and start from brand new.
7. I setup the BB itself. The thing that seemed to be most important, especially for iCal, was to change the Time Zone in Options-Date/Time.
8. I connected the BB and setup Desktop Manager. I did a sync with all 4 PIM options, selecting replace all data on device. I also selected all calendars for Calendar and Tasks
9. I ejected the device and checked that my data was correct, both on the Mac and device.
10. I turned on the cellular connection.
11. I went to the BlackBerry/provider website and sent service books.
At this time everything is where it is supposed to be. I even did another sync, after starting and quitting iTunes, to sync music.
I am scared to do to many more syncs at this point. With everything working I don't feel like spending hours and hours to fix it again.

E71 (S60) Calendar reminder alarm too long (1 minu...

Using an E71, but suspect this is an S60 issue:
Why does the Calendar reminder alarm last for an entire minute repeat the tone continuously until 60 seconds have elapsed? While other alarms like sms, email only invoke the tone once?
As an ex-Palm Treo user, I was used to being able to set the number of times I can repeat the tone (e.g. 1, 2 ,3 times).
How do I configure the phone such that the calendar reminder only triggers the (e.g. beep) tone, 2 or 3 times? I couldn't find any config on that. Is there any work-around or 3rd party software that can do this?

I also have this. My outlook calendar is the key and I like to have reminders. The fact that the alarm goes of during 1 minute sound is terribly annoying, I'd just like to have a reminder with a SMS-like sound, something I can customize at least (sound + duration + number of times it repeats...).
Anyone has info about this? I am using a E71 too.

Performance issue with calendar and applescript

Hi Community,
I have a performance issue using applescript and calendar with this script:
tell application "Calendar"
tell calendar "Cal"
set theList to (get {summary, start date, end date, uid} of events)
end tell
end tell
There are app. 700 events in the calendar "Cal". Therefore the get-command takes about 15 seconds. The problem is, that iCal is completely blocked for this time. This means it is even not possilbe to scroll through the calendar. This problem occurs only under OS X 10.9. With OS X 10.8.x it is still possible to use calendar even a time-consuming get-command is processed.
Any ideas? Maybe there is a way to reduce the task-priority of an applescript?

I have to step in here...
1) Must I set "None" or "On Time"
- In order for the Calendar to fire an Alarm, it must know what time to fire the alarm. In the event of an All Day Event, it will go off at 12am. The option for "Repeat", below the "Alarm", states the frequency of the event (Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, etc). So to set an alarm that fires once a month, set the TIME you want the alarm to go off (Make sure "All Day" is unchecked if you want a specific time), then choose "On Time" for the "Alarm", and one of the several "Monthly" options for "Repeat". If I missed something in what you were asking, please let me know and I will do my best to more directly answer your question.
2) Calendar cannot sync with the Mac.
- Not directly. However, your phone automatically syncs with your Google Calendar, set up if you create your account. If you so choose, you may export your iCal calendar, import it into your Google calendar, and then use your Google calendar (http://calendar.google.com) to manage your agenda. The changes sync automatically with your device.
Once again, I hope this shed some light on things. To the Verizon rep who originally answered this question: I have no intention to bash you, however please bear in mind that your opinions and comments will always be held in higher regard than mine, so if you choose to answer a question, please try to solve the problem as opposed to just answer the question. I have experience with all manner of devices and operating systems, from WebOS to BB to iOS to Android, and I believe this phone has the best hardware coupled with a solid operating system in TouchWiz, and I don't want to see people frustrated with these devices by questions that get nothing more than, "You can't do that" answers from the people that are expected to support them.

Calendar appointment alarm

Hello, your help with this is appreciated.
I use my calendar with appoinments a lot but the reminder is only a flashing led. I want a chime of some kind. Any suggestions on how I can do this or an app that will do this. I know I can set an alarm but an alarm is not an appoinment and I like the features the appointment has.
Thanks for helping.
Best,
Sophia

Questions from a Prospective Buyer Regarding Calendar and Contacts

Hi. I am interested in buying a new IPod Nano, largely for its Calendar and Contacts features. I am replacing a Palm PDA that I accidentally lost earlier this week.
I looked at some Nanos in the Apple Store near me but there were no calendar items or contact entries in any of the Nanos. I therefore have a few questions that weren't answered for me at the Apple Store.
Regarding syncing with Address Book and ICal:
1. If you have multiple Groups in Adress Book, will all the groups show up in the Nano? Or does the Nano lump all the contacts into one group?
2. Similarly, if you have multiple calendars in ICal, will all the calendars show up on the Nano as separate calendars?
3. Do all alarms set in ICal, for both calendar events and to-dos, show up in the Nano?
Lastly, a few questions about the calendar view in the Nano:
4. Does the Nano's monthly calendar view somehow indicate which days have events? I couldn't tell at the Apple Store because there were no events in the Nanos there.
5. In general, do people find the Nano's calendar view sufficient? From what I could tell, you can view a full monthly calendar and then click on a day to see that day's calendar items. But I couldn't tell if there was a larger day view. Also, it didn't seem to have a week view. So, I'm just looking for general opinions on the calendar's overall usability.
Thanks a lot in advance for all replies.
David

+1. If you have multiple Groups in Adress Book, will all the groups show up in the Nano? Or does the Nano lump all the contacts into one group?+
It's just one big group.
+2. Similarly, if you have multiple calendars in ICal, will all the calendars show up on the Nano as separate calendars?+
You can view as All or select on one Calendar. If you view as All you don't get to see which calendar an entry is for. It's just one big group.
+3. Do all alarms set in ICal, for both calendar events and to-dos, show up in the Nano?+
Not sure on this. I don't think it includes to-dos. Also the nano does not make much of a noise. It does have a full speaker on it. I don't hear the alarm on it.
+4. Does the Nano's monthly calendar view somehow indicate which days have events? I couldn't tell at the Apple Store because there were no events in the Nanos there.+
Yes, there will be a dot on a day with an entry.
+5. In general, do people find the Nano's calendar view sufficient? From what I could tell, you can view a full monthly calendar and then click on a day to see that day's calendar items. But I couldn't tell if there was a larger day view. Also, it didn't seem to have a week view. So, I'm just looking for general opinions on the calendar's overall usability.+
When selecting a day you get a list of the items for the day. You can then select one to see more details. There is no week view.
You do realise it is read only. You can't edit at all. If you are expecting alarms then you will be disappointed with the nano.
If you were relying on an iPod for calendars you would be better served by the iPod touch. The calendar on the nano is useful for seeing if you are doing something on a day, but not great for reminding you that you have something happening in a few minutes.

Calendar appointment alarms disparity

My Blackberry synchs with BES. I am finding that when I make a desktop appointment, setting the alarm for 15 minutes, I get the alarm going off as soon as the appointment is synched to my Blackberry, regardless of how far into the future the appointment is. When I check the alarm setting I find that it is set for thousands of minutes before the appointment (I suspect this is the number of minutes between current time and the appointment). When I check the alarm setting for the appointment on my desk calendar the alarm setting has not changed - it is what I originally set. Any ideas?

Strangely enough, it has started working properly. The only thing that's different, is that I've added the BBAlerts application.
I would still have thought that an alarm would go off at the appointment time, even if a reminder has been set (and sounded), but it doesn't. Fore example, if an appointment is set for 1300 hrs, with a reminder set to go off 15 minutes earlier, I'd expect an alarm at 1245 and 1300 hrs, but I only get one at 1245 hrs.
If I have a reocurring appointment every Monday and Friday and the reminder sounds 15 mins prior to the appointment time, if I press DISMISS, will it dismiss just that reminder, or ALL reminders. Hopefully it'll just dismiss the current reminder!

Business iCal sending out multiple calendar invites - one calendar and one account, 2 people using it for work

First question:
My boss has a Macbook Pro (iPad & iPhone), I have a Dell and iPad. We use his iCal for our work calendar and my Outlook is logged into his iCal so that I can load appointments & send them out to clients. He obviously has access to the same calendar so that he can also load appointments.
We have realised that sometimes the meeting invite, although I only send ONE invite out, will send 6 invites to a person. Here below you will see the icons that appear next to the 6 invites that the person that receives it sees next to the invites. It is therefor 3 types of emails/invites that are each sent out twice to the client. This is obviously not ideal. Could it be that I must not include my boss in the invites (as it is already his calendar sending out the invites), or what could it be that I am doing wrong?
Second question:
How can I ensure that replies (Yes/No/Maybe/Comments) appear in the iCal meeting, as people reply, but those replies I have to copy and paste into the meeting as they do not currently automatically update in the meeting.
Third question:
Any suggestions on a better system/method?
Please help!

I think I know what can help. I also support Mac users in a mixed environment, and find that being able to access a Windows machine to test settings for my iCal users is very very helpful. If you do not have one, I could also fix this one by adding the user's account to my one Mac that runs Entourage.
On a PC: set up one of the problem accounts in Outlook, then go to Tools->Options & click on the Delegates tab. Click on a Delegate name (if they all have the same permission level, you can select all), then click the Permissions button. If the delegate have "Editor" permissions, there will be a little checked box that sends the delegate copies of all those meetings. De-select it.
Lemme know if you want Entourage instructions or if that does it for you.
The real question, of course, is why are there so many Exchange functions that iCal can't touch. Grrrr....

Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud 2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel. I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version).
The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.” After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
Sound familiar? Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue? Thanks much in advance!
