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.

Why is ical creating unwanted alerts for all-day events?

If anyone can point to what might be going wrong here I'd be grateful. This is becoming a daily irritant. I have a number of all-day events listed for most week days in my diary which help me to know what is happening that day with childcare for my son. I don't need alerts to be reminded of these - they are just notes I put to myself in adavnce that let me know how my day is configured. Now, I sync my ical from my home imac to my work imac, my macbook, my iphone and my ipad. On none of these devices do I have default alerts set. I never set any alerts for any of these 'events'. But then, at 9am the day before each one I get an alert. In fact, I get a 9am alert for any all-day event, regardless of whether I set an alert for then, or at all. As I say, I've checked all devices and the default alert a=on all is set to 'none'. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I stop it?

Thanks Malcolm.I'm afraid this issue started for me after updating to iOS6!

Calendar creating random alerts for events

The last couple of weeks, iCloud Calendar and the Mac Calendar having been doing something very odd. I have my college courses laid out in my Calendar and syncing between my iPhone, Mac, and iPad. My default setting for this college calendar (and across my devices) was to alert me 15 minutes before each class started.
The last couple of weeks, however, the Calendar would alert me at my default time, but then it would alert me at the time the class was scheduled to start, and then at two random times after the class already started. The other two created alerts usually happened around 5-15 minutes after the event already started. After the second later time, the alerts would stop being created and stop appearing in my notifications. I was even able to watch these alerts being created, and if I deleted the new alert, I would have to delete it a second time before it actually disappeared. And this reminder went out across my 3 devices.
Here's what I have tried.
Changed my password on iCloud/Apple ID
I have removed the PList from Calendar app on my Mac, which changed nothing.
Repaired Permissions with Disk Utility and Onyx, also did nothing (though Disk Utility at one point did detect an error in Calendar which it said it fixed).
I went to iCloud.com and deleted the entire College calendar from the Calendar app and then manually re-added my classes. I noticed that on some the classes, it tried to create the random alerts immediately, but since I deleted those classes again and readded them and they stopped. This temporarily worked.
This last stepped worked for about a week before my college classes started doing this again. Since I applied the iCloud "fix", only some of my college classes have begun creating random alerts again, but only on my Mac and not on my iOS devices. Also, my birthdays imported from Facebook are now exhibiting this trait. No other calendars, such as my work or appointment calendars, are doing this though, and I have tested them by creating new events in said calendars. I don't want to stop using Calendar for something like this. Does anyone have any ideas?

Update: Now some of my other calendars are doing this too, like my work calendar, up to almost an hour after the actual event. I have no idea what's going on.

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..

How can I share a project specific calendar I created on Entourage 2008 ?

How can I share a project specific calendar I created on Entourage 2008 without showing my personal calendar? I created a project specific calendar using Entourage 2008 for Mac. I want to add someone that uses Outlook from a PC. We are in the same exchange network. I have added this person in under the sharing tab, but don't see a way to invite her to view it, and it does not appear on her Outlook list of shared calendars. I was able to invite her to view my main calendar, but not the project specific one. Any suggestions?

How can I create an alert in iTunes store?

I would like to create an alert in iTunes store, such that whenever a new album of a specific group appears I will receive an email.
Is that possible? if so , how ?
Best regards,
Gabriel.

If you go to the artist's/group's page in the store then you should be able to do it e.g. search for the artist in the store, and on the right-hand side of the results page there should be list of content categories that match that search, and below it a link for the artist
Click on the artist's name to go to a screen listing their items, and at the top right of that screen there should be a 'share' icon'
Click on that and on the popup you should have an option for 'alert me' (I haven't used it but I assume that it works).
You can see what alerts that you have, and remove them, by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option - on your account's screen there should be an Alerts link

What does it mean: "Calendar was created by Mail"?

I upgraded to the latest version of iCal. Now, when I try to input a new event, I get the message: " Calendar was created by Mail. You can not add an event to a Mail calendar. Does any one know what this means and what I need to do to change it so I can add events to iCal from my computer? By the way, I sync with my iPhone and am able to add events from my Phone which then show up on my calendar on my computer. - James

Greetings James,
This suggests you have a "Read Only" calendar in iCal. Look for a calendar on the left hand side of iCal which you don't recognize and don't use. Once you locate it you can click on it once to highlight it and then go to Edit > Delete.
Cheers.

How to create an alert in Oracle Applications

Can anyone help me, I want to be able to create an alert (not email) that will pop up on the screen of Oracle Applications 11i
to remind everyone to change the passwords in xx days. I know there are alerts that send email, but people hardly check their emails
promptly in my organization so I wish to use forms to create an alert that will pop up on the screen.
Thanks.

I think there is some confusion here! The solution that has been outlined is the 'standard' way of achieving the result that a user has to change his/her password every xx days. BUT, this will only prompt them when they try to log in AFTER the xx days has expired.
I think you are asking for a method of alerting the user xx days BEFORE the password is due to expire, like Windows for example.
I am not an expert in technical changes to forms (e.g. forms personalisation), but I thought it might help if I clarified what I think you are asking. Others may have the actual answer!
An alert would possibly achieve what you want, but consider this... if users don't read their emails, and they only log in occasionally, what use is alerting them on the system going to be? They will still only see the alert when they log in, and that may already be after the password has expired!
If my interpretation is wrong, please update this thread so I don't confuse anybody.
Regards
Tim

How to create an alert at the list item of List box in vbs/c sharp

Dear All,
I need to know how can we create an alert, or a message on the execution of the last item in the List box.

What do you mean by "on the execution of the last item in the list box"? Do you mean when that last item of a ListBox is selected? If so, you could use the following code:
Private Sub ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) _
Handles ListBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim lb As ListBox = CType(sender, ListBox)
If lb.SelectedIndex = lb.Items.Count - 1 Then
MessageBox.Show("Last item is selected")
End If
End Sub

How do I create an alert for a collection?

Hi,
I created a collection that queries computers with Endpoint definition files of 7 days and older. Now, I want an email alert daily what computers are in that collection. How do I do that?
Please give me some steps if possible because I am not familiar creating an alert.
If you have an alternate/easier way, my goal is to receive email alerts of computers with old Endpoint definiton files 7 days or older.
Thanks!

Hi Jeremy,
So I created a report and it shows under Subscriptions (just like how it was instructed). I also check Administration \ Site configuration \ Sites \ Configure Components \ Email notifications and tested, all is good.
I noticed that under "Report Delivered By: I only have "Windows File Share". No Deliver by Email option.
I see that the report ran as how I wanted it. The result was there but where is my email? Am I missing any more steps?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Creating an Alert Based on Category

Hi ppl,
We have requirement to create an alert based on the category we choose in the category modeler. Is it possible to do so in standard?
I couldnt find an attribute for category. So, I tried to create a new attribute in the repository, using FG_ICWC_ORDER as the fact gathering service. But couldn't make it working.
Does it work when we use this fact gathering service? I left the Input Support Class blank in Input Support for Conditions. Do we have a input support class for categories?
Has anyone of you have had a similar requirment before? Any help would be great!
Regards,
Shwetha

Hi,
Why don't you define a new event. The same can be done at the following path:
IMG>Customer Relationship Management>Interaction Center WebClient>Additional Functions>Intent-Driven Interactions>Define Events in Repository
You would need to know the name of the component and the view to define the event and this you could get by pressing F2 in the relevant WEB UI screen.

Deepak

Calendar items created on my Iphone 4S are not showing up in the Calendar on my MacPro after USB Sync.. even though they are still on the phone... ideas???

In the Event mode use the View ➙ Sort ➙ By Date ➙ Decending menu option. Then the latest imports will be near the top of the Event window (depending on when the photos were taken of course).
Or Control-Click on one of the thumbnails in the Last Import album and select Show Event from the contextual menu:

OSB 11g: Can I create an Alert Destination to call another webservice?

Hi All,
We would like to send Alert message via SMS to speified person.
As we have already a web service to send SMS, can we just create an Alert Destination to call this web service to do that?
Thanks for your help!
Edited by: FrankieHuang on May 2, 2013 12:44 AM

you can use a JMS queue as your alert destination and have a process listening on the JMS queue to invoke the webservice.#
You dont have a direct option to call a service from your alert mechanism..
