Calendar Reminder Time Way Off - Set to 500, 600, or 700 minutes

I am syncing my calendar with my GroupWise calendar through the Desktop manager software and the usb connection. I totally wiped my curve back to factory defaults and everytime I sync my calendar the reminder time is always at 500 minutes or longer. I have the default reminder set to 5 minutes in the general optins. I want to be reminded 5 minutes before the appointment, not 500 or 600 or 700. I get reminders for appointments hours before they are going to happen. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Please help. It is very annoying. Thanks.

I too am having this problem and it is a major one. The notifications are completly off by more than 500+ minutes. The reminder is supposed to be 10 minutes prior to the meeting.
I have pulled battery, problem is still here.
I have wiped the unit clean, problem is still here.
I checked the time zone, it is correct and the problem is still here.
I have had my IT people look at it, they can not figure it out and the problem is still here.
Please note I sync with Groupwise 8 using Desktop Manager version 5 and sync w/USB. Also, it is important to note that I have tried older versions on GW and DM but the problem remains. Help....

Has there been an update or fix to the digital signature time zone off set being one hour off?

Has there been an update or fix to the digital signature time zone off set being one hour off? I have seen that in the forum that this was identified as a bug back in June 2012. Any updates on this as it is still occurring in my version of Acrobat X with all updates applied. Thanks.

Calendar reminder time

I added a todo item in my calendar on my e71 with a date and a reminder at 12:15.
When I synced up to ovi.com, an item was created on the correct date, with the correct time, but it had a reminder time of 20.52 on the previous day!!!!
Is this a bug or what? The time zones are the same on my phone and on ovi.com, so it's not that....
What's going on?
Thanks,
Ed.

Advice on best way to set up 500 GB external hard-drive - scratch & back-up

Hi all -
I would like to get some advice on how to best set up my new 500GB external hard drive. I do lots of video editing, so my primary use for it is as a scratch disc. However, i like to have a back-up clone for emergencies so in the past I have always had a partitioned external. One for back up, one for media. Now that Leopard has the time machine feature, i have read that some people like to use one volume on their external for TM and the other for a bootable clone (using Carbon Copy cloner). Doing this will take up a lot of space on my hard drive and I really need it for media storage. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to set this up? If I had a clone on one volume, could i then put Time Machine on my Media volume and call it a day?
Thanks so much for any feedback!
Karen

You've essentially said that you're concerned about not having enough disk space for everything you do. I suggest a 2nd drive, as there is no partitioning scheme that's going to create more space for you. I'd set up one drive with 2 partitions - a bootable partition and a partition for TM. I'd dedicate the second drive to media. I wouldn't put TM and media on the same partition; in time <grin>, Time Machine will fill the partition.
And by the way, imho you should turn TM off anytime you are capturing, rendering or exporting; you don't want it using system resources (CPU, RAM or I/O) while you're doing those tasks.

Time way off when using Motion graphic. Huh?

Maybe I should ask this in the Motion discussions but you guys will most likely have the answer.
I am lost on this one. If I creat a graphic in Motion and say I have an element come in at 4 seconds all looks fine. But when I export a movie for use in FCP X, the element comes in at 2 seconds. This happens with all elements. What on earth am I not getting here?
Just tried something else. It is not just on export. If I time the graphic with a stop watch, it does not match the timeline. I guess what I am saying is that the timeline in Motion is correct but playback is way slower. What don't I understand?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers.
Tom

Yes, you should ask this in the Motion forum. You might want to check the project settings and the frame rate settings and also the export settings.
The second part may be that that playback in Motion is not always at real speed, but is dependent on the speed of your processors and whether the playback range is held in cache.

Changing the deafult reminder time on Outlook All Day Events without turning off reminders

Hi All,
This has been something that has bugged me for years but now even more so I (and my colleagues) have work phones linked with exchange. I am tired of being woken up at 6am the day before an all day event has been set in my calendar.
I have multiple people update my calendar and the reminder time is not always cleared on an all day event. I (and others) want to keep a default reminder time set as it is a useful addition to the majority of calendar appointments, but for the life of me I
can't fathom out how to change the default 18 hour reminder time that is set on All Day events.
I have never understood why MS have made this reminder time set to eighteen hours, which means that the reminder always goes off at 6am, before the majority of office people wake.
We currently use Outlook 2007, but will probably update to 2010 in the foreseeable future.
If this can't be set in Outlook (?!?!?) can it be forced as an administrative policy?
ChrisChris

Hi Chris,
This has been asked for before, but there are no current plans to change the default of "18 hours" or to allow a means to modify the value.
As a workaround, you can use code in a macro, script, COM Add-in, etc. to reset the Reminder time to something more adequate to your needs.
DISCLAIMER: The code is provided only as a courtesy to our customers. It is not supported in any way by Microsoft.
Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
Dim calFolder As Outlook.Folder
Dim items As Outlook.items
Dim appt As Outlook.AppointmentItem
Dim i As Integer
Set oApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set calFolder = oApp.Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar)
Set items = calFolder.items
For i = items.Count To 1 Step -1
If items.Item(i).Class = Outlook.olAppointment Then
Set appt = items.Item(i)
If appt.AllDayEvent = True Then
If appt.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 1080 Then '1080 = 18 hours X 60 minutes
appt.ReminderMinutesBeforeStart = 60 '60 minutes
appt.Save
End If
End If
End If
Set items = Nothing
Set calFolder = Nothing
Set appt = Nothing
Set oApp = Nothing
I have emailed the Outlook Feature Requests alias on this. This is monitored directly by the
Outlook Product team. Additionally, you can call in and open a support incident regarding this issue and we can investigate this further.
Hope that helps!

Calendar appointment times and timezones in new Bold

Hi All,
I'm new to the world of BB and have a question about time zones - I know this is a drama subject for a lot of smart phones, but the Bold has a couple of options I'm not familiar with.
I have a new Bold running v5.0.0.743 and I have set the date/time settings to;
Auto adjust time zone - OFF
Set time - AUTOMATIC
I set 90% of my appointments in Office 2003 with no option to account for different time zones and to keep my Outlook and BB appointments reading the same, I don't want my BB to adjust timezones, but it would be nice to automatically adjust to local time.
Could somebody please let me know what my phone will do with these settings if I travel into a new time zone?
Cheers
John K

Hi josefd
Yes, I can work out how to get round this problem but I very much feel that it is a problem that Nokia should resolve if they want this phone to be used by business travellers. I am not prepared to operate in the way you suggest as I think it is very much open to human error, and also very reliant on the phone networks working properly.
I think you need to experience this before you discover how annoying it is. Compare it to the old paper diaries. If you had an appointment with a colleague in France next week for 2pm, you would write 2pm in your diary. you would not check what time zone they were in and then write a different time in your diary .Why should I convert times to UK times just because this phone does something so unusual?
As I said this approach is very prone to human error, and also relies upon the local networks and the phone to update the time correctly as it is particularly annoying if the network in the coutry you visit is unrelaible (or is it the phone?). For instance in Costa Rica the time never changed which made it even more confusing.
All Nokia need to do is give us an option such as "the time has changed - do you want to change your calendar entries Yes/No". Surely that would be easy enough?

Google calendar event times are shown as -1h

Summary:
When I create a new event in the built in WP8 calendar app to a Google calendar the time of the event is being displayed as one hour earlier.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new event in calendar. Choose one of the Google calendars configured (I have two configured in my phone). Set time as 2013/07/17 16:00. Save the event.
Expected behavior:
The event time in the agenda view is shown as 2013/07/17 16:00.
Observed behavior:
The event time in the agenda view is shown as 2013/07/17 16:00 for a few seconds. It then automatically changes to 2013/07/17 15:00.
Other notes:
I have two Google calendars configured. I can observe the same misbehavior on both.
I also have a Microsoft (@hotmail.com) calendar configured. This works as expected.
When I log into my Google calendar using a web browser, the time is shown as expected.
When I use a third party calendar (Chronos) and sync my Google account directly, the time is shown as expected.
When I use a third party calendar (Chronos) and use it simply as an interface to the built in WP calendar the time is off again showing 2013/07/17 15:00.
The timezone on my WP is set to (UTC) London.
I started noticing this perhaps a week ago. It was working as expected before.
Phone model is Nokia Lumia 925
Phone OS version is 8.0.10327.77
Notes 1-6 suggests to me that the internal calendaring module in WP8 fails to recognize DST (daylight saving time) in timezone (UTC) London or misinterprets relevant information fields on Google calendar objects.
Note 7 suggests to me that this is related to an update to my WP8 phone or a change in Google calendar API.
Any help is much appreciated, this is driving me rather nuts.
Thanks,
Kaarel

Further investigation reveals this only happens when the event is created from within WP native calendar app and disappears when I make an edit to the event in any other calendar client including Google web. So a more appropriate description of the problem would be:
"Native calendar app keeps subtracting 1h off a Google calendar event on EVERY edit"
Create an event at 2013/07/17 15:00 in WP native calendar app. Result: Event shows as 2013/07/17 15:00 in the calendar app for a few seconds, then updates itself to 2013/07/17 14:00.
Edit the event title and save in WP native calendar app. Event time moves by -1h again to 2013/07/17 13:00.
Edit the event title in Google web calendar.
Subsequent edits in WP native calendar do not mess up the time any longer. If I fix the time to what I originally intended (2013/07/17 15:00) in WP native calendar app, it stays there and shows correctly in all previously mentioned calendar viewers.
I just learned that Lumia 925 was released with GDR2 update pre-installed. This update is only now being made generally available. If the issue is secific to the CalDAV implementation in GDR2 rather than specific to my phone only, this would make a lot of angry people. I hope I'm wrong on this though as it's an extremely frustrating problem.

Is there a way to set a quarterly reminder in the calendar?

Is there any way to set a quarterly reminder in the calendar?

Create a new event. In the repeat section, select custom, and then enter the number of weeks for a quarter (~12). Not perfect, but close.

TS4000 When I create a reminder the date/time will not stay attached to the reminder. It initially sets then drops off. Any ideas?

Sounds like we have a similar problem. Four days ago I was playing music through a wireless Bose speaker via bluetooth and everything was fine. Then I was texting while listening and got 2 texts about the same time as I was typing one and my phone went black. I pushed the home button and it worked, went into my texts and all were there. However ever since then the time isn't right, so it can't keep time no matter what I do. The bluetooth works only at times, the wifi keeps jumping on and off, sometimes my data won't work and the other day I couldn't even turn it off, so had to wait until it died. The battery life display at that moment wasn't correct either. Took to Verizon, they couldn't help. Suggested a factory reset, which I did last night and still the same issues! One day I couldn't even text my husband on his iPhone. Just wouldn't work at all. Did everything suggest and still not good. Seems like after stalking these pages today a lot of people are having this problem in Dec/Jan and of course also I'm 3 weeks out of my 1 year warranty and so were many others, by days. Very strange, and all on the 5C. What did you do? Is it working now?

Is there a way to set a timer for your iPad to go off kind of like a sleep timer on the tv?

I have the iPad Air 2. And I usually watch movies or something on it while I fall asleep so it doesn't shut down it just keeps playing all night and then the battery is drained. I don't mind having to keep it plugged in but I thought if there was a way to set a timer that could work too thanks!!
Sarah Morris

Try this. Go to the clock app. Select timer. Choose stop playing as your sound. Set the lenght of time to match your movie. Tap start. Your iPad will now turn off shortly after the movie is over.

Calendar entries on Curve 8900 get random reminder times after moving in ical

I just upgraded to a Curve 8900 from a Curve 8310 and using the new Desktop Manager for Mac to sync. I'm having 2 issues.
1) After syncing with ical, the entries on my Curve 8900 do not alert (vibrate or give off tone) when the ical alarm is set to "message with sound", however it does seems to work when you only select "message" from the alarm setting.
2) When dragging an event on ical from one date to another (or changing the date using the edit event command or get info command), during the sync it assigns a random reminder time only on my Curve, but not in ical. So I'm getting random alerts on my Curve for events in the future, and random times of 12 hours, 24 hours, 1215 minutes, etc.
My default entry on both my Curve and ical has the alarm reminder set to "0" min, so that I am alerted on the time I have assigned to the event.
It's so frustrating as both pocketmac and missing sync were erasing contacts. I was hoping the new Desktop Manager would have solved any sync problems.

How to set a calendar reminder for the last Friday of every month?

I need to set a reminder to go off on the Monday following the last Friday of every month. I could settle for a reminder on the last Friday of every month and then delay the reminder by a couple of days, but I'm not sure where to start. Does anyone know how to do this?

I found an App that solved my problem called "Calendar Tools"
It is a plug in that allows you to have custom repeat rules.
Check it out!

So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off. I have a 25 song playlist that is around 2 hours on my computer appears as 2003 minutes on my iPad. It's a smart playlist limited to 25 songs if that makes any difference. Is this happening to anyone else? Any help would be appreciated!

Greetings,
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

Reminder time in appointment does not match default set in options

I have an issue with the reminder time for new appointments that I accept from other users not matching the default set in my Options OR the time set by the sender. The default reminder time is set to 18 hours and the Reminder Time that the person
creating the appointment is using is also 18 hours. However, after I accept the appointment and then go into my Calendar and look at the appointment, it always says 15 minutes instead of 18 hours, which is far too short a time for most of my appointments.
I'm using Outlook 2013 under Windows 8.1. I've tried most of the suggestions I've found online including starting Outlook with the switches /cleanreminders and /resetfolders, neither of which helped??
Can anyone help???

It's a known bug.
