Calendar reminders issue

I jave had a new Torch for a week now and there is a problem with the calendar. No matter what settings I use on the phone I get no reminders at all from the calendar, either audible or visual pop up. All the other tones and alarms work with no problems, the problem is only with the calendar.

I'm not receiving e-mail on my "New" iPad, and I want tdeleted my yahoo mail account and reinstall it. When I go to settings to delete the account, it says I will lose everything in notes, calendars, reminders, etc. Can I delete ONLY the e-mail account?

I'm not receiving e-mail on my iPad (3). I want to try deleting my yahoo mail account and reinstalling it, but when I go to settings to do this, it appears that I will lose my notes, calendars, reminders, etc. Is this right, or is there another way to do this?

Give it time. Yahoo has had persistent issues the past few weeks. wait 24 hours or so and then try again.

Calendar reminders (notifications) still NOT working, even after 602 update.....

So, Verizon Wireless released the 602 update to the Gingerbread OS for the Droid X, and the calendar reminder popups (notifications) are still NOT working properly.
This is VERY frustrating, as I use these notifications (reminder pop ups) for everything from business related (meetings, etc) to personal (when to take medicines, etc).
It's also VERY frustrating because BEFORE Gingerbread, when the Droid X ran Froyo, there was NOT a problem with the calendar and its reminders.
I would assume that there are MANY, MANY people being affected by this issue...and I wonder why Verizon hasn't "put the heat" on Google to FIX this issue which is clearly related to the Android OS, more specifically, Gingerbread.
I used to like the Droid X very much, but now I'm counting the days until I can get an iPhone. At least you know what you're getting, and won't have an update "break" functions of the phone.
So, Verizon, if you're listening... PLEASE get this calendar notification problem FIXED.
Thank you!!

I'm the original poster of this topic. And let me tell you the steps that I went through to try to get this resolved, and then I'll let you know the ultimate solution that I wound up doing and am happy about (but am NOT happy about Verizon & Motorola).
1) updated DroidX to latest 602 update.
2) went into admin partition and deleted cache
still did not work
3) went into admin partition and did hard reset (complete restore) from inside the admin partition
Still did not get calendar reminders to work.
4) went into normal phone and accessed "Restore Phone to Factory Specs" from the Privacy menu in settings. This caused the phone to do a similar hard reset as in step 3, except it also ran the beginning software (welcome to your Droid, we now have to activate your phone, etc).
Calendar reminders did not work. (REMEMBER... when I say they did not work, I mean that the reminders would go off EVENTUALLY , but anywhere from 30mins AFTER the appointment to literally HOURS AFTER the appointment).
5) Created a COMPLETELY NEW AND DIFFERENT calendar at Google under a DIFFERENT screen name/account. Configured DroidX to completely forget the original calendar and to start using the NEW one.
Reminders still did NOT work properly.
6) Once again, tried hard resets.
NOPE. Still did NOT work.
7) CALLED Verizon Wireless and described my problem and they pretty much didn't/couldn't help and said they would "send a report to the engineering team" about the problem.
And HERE is the thing that REALLY BURNED ME UP about this WHOLE ENTIRE DEBACLE..... my DroidX worked 100% correctly BEFORE the Gingerbread upgrade to the Android OS. When it was running Froyo (previous OS), every single calendar reminder on my original calendar worked every single time, on time, every time. BUT... AFTER Gingerbread, it just didn't work. (Don't get me started with the phantom powering on of the phone after it was powered off problem that STILL exists after the 602 upgrade).
SO.......... what did I eventually do??? Well, by this time, I was eligible for early upgrade at upgrading pricing and switched to the iPhone4 (I didn't want the 4S). AND YOU KNOW WHAT??? Using the ORIGINAL GOOGLE calendar that I used before all the above stuff happened, my reminders on the iPhone4 work all the time, every time. These include appointments that I made 8 months ago to new ones that I make every day. And for all of them, the iPhone4 sets the reminder chime off EXACTLY when I want it to.
Now, I realize that this doesn't address the problem for you, Ganamide (who wrote above), but for me, I finally got to the point where I had missed critical appointments with clients and couldn't wait around for the DroidX Calendar Reminder Problem to be resolved.
So Verizon Wireless and Motorola (maker of DroidX) and Google (maker of Android OS) all have "negative points" in my book for allowing such a problem to continue without proper resolution. Apple, on the other hand, gets "positive points" in my book for making a product that is rock solid and works well.

IPhone 6 not syncing with other devices or shared calendar, reminders etc. using same Apple ID on all devices. Any ideas?

I have just bought a new iPhone 6 and updated it from the cloud with no issues (contacts all there as well as calendars that I have set up previously, for example) but have noticed that it will not sync to new content on my iPad or MacBook or vice versa, it is now like a stand alone device. Also, shared calendars set up by somebody else don't appear and I can't share a reminders list. I am signed in using my Apple ID, the same as I am on my other devices (which all still sync with each other as normal) but it is as if the iPhone is not on the same account. I have updated my iPad to IOS 8 with no issues so probably not an iOS problem. Does anyone have any suggestions before I trek into town to see a genius?

Unfortunatley 5 GB is not necessarily a lot of space. What you should do is FIRST go into iCloud and choose what information you want turned on.
Settings >iCloud
Here you should see different Tabs that will let you select what you want to back up on your device. You have the option to back up the following data on your phone:
Mail
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Safari
Notes
Passbook
Photo Stream
Documents & Data
Find My iPhone
If you turn off some of these options you should free up some of your space.
Once you have backed up your device in iCloud, you can place your device in Recovery Mode in iTunes so it can be recognized.
To put phone in recovery mode: Hold down home button and power button at top of phone at the same time. Once you see the Apple on the device, CONTINUE to hold down the Home button. Plug your phone into iTunes. Do not let the Home button go until you see a message in iTunes stating that a device has been detected in recovery mode.

Calendar, Reminders and Contacts Apps won't open...

Hello,
My iMac power cable got disconnected and it lost power interuptedly,
after starting it back up, i found that neither Calendar, Reminders or Contacts apps are starting up.
Did a little research before posting here, but nothing helped, I already tried:
- verifying /repairing permissions
- running daily/weekly/monthly scripts
- Reboot in safe mode
ANY Help is welcome as i am starting to loose hope,
and re-installing the whole Os seems a little extreme as a mesure,
Thanks : )

Hello Staraway
If you are having issues with Calendars, Contacts and Reminders opening up then the next step would be to reinstall your operating system. One thing you can try is if you are using iCloud with those apps, then turn off the settings in System Preferences and open the apps to test.

Outlook 2011 and mountain lion calendar sync issues... resolved (kinda)

Okay... I never really post to these boards, but I'm fairly ticked off that OS X keeps tampering with MS Office and it's syncing with iTunes and, ultimately, my iPhone. Apple support tried to push me onto the iCloud, but I'm not going to use that crappy feature. After many hours of trying to fix the calendar sync issue with MS Office 2011, I found a workaround:
1. Get the apple reminders set up to recognize the OS X Calendar program.
2. Confirm that your Outlook calendar data is recognized in the OS X Calendar program (it was always there for me)
3. Install MS Office 2008 (Entourage) --- You don't have to use it, but the older program still syncs with Mountain Lion.
4. Sync your iphone with itunes and ensure that your Calendars are erased (uncheck the Calendar sync box).
5. Click on the "Replace Information on this iPhone) for Calendars.
6. Re-sync the iPhone with iTunes.
7. The data should go up with no problem.
IF you are still having problems...
1. go to OS X "Calendar" and Add a new calendar called "Home".
2. move the Outlook data to the Home calendar (just drag and drop).
3. Repeat steps 4-7 above.
Since I've done these changes, everything directly syncs.
Hope this helps, and don't lose faith. MS will come up with some type of patch.

Outlook 2011 is not compatible with iCloud, it won't work and your 'workaround' may affect iCloud clients on the same account.
Don't use 2011.

Receiving inappropriate calendar reminders

I'm on a Verizon iPhone 4 running 4.2.6. In Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, I added a CalDAV account. The server hosting the calendar runs Zimbra 6.x. Zimbra has my main calendar, personal calendar, and a movie calendar. Also in Zimbra via the web client, I linked to other people's calendars, just so I can view their availability.
In the iPhone calendar application, I press the Calendars button in the upper left corner. I see a list of all calendars I can choose to display, including my iPhone calendar, my Gmail calendar, birthdays, my main, personal, and Movie Night Zimbra calendars as well as calendars of all other people that I linked to in Zimbra. I only have check marks next to the 5 calendars that I care about (Gmail, Zimbra main, Zimbra personal, Zimbra Movie Night, and birthdays).
When I look on the iPhone at my calendar in list view, it says "5 Calendars" at the top, and I do see entries of all of the checked calendars as expected. Over time, additional calendars that I don't care about seem to auto-checkmark themselves and begin to appear on my list, and it says "6 Calendars" or "7 Calendars" at the top. I then have to go and uncheckmark them. At first, I thought I might have accidentally checked additional calendars, so I made sure to stay off of the Calendars screen. Calendars still seem to get auto-checkmarked, although there are two people in particular it seems to favor.
I also receive calendar reminders/notifications for my calendar events, which is expected, but I also get them for other people's events too. I figure if I don't have a checkmark next to a calendar, I shouldn't be reminded of any of those events.
I deleted the whole CalDAV account and tried setting things up again, however, I get the exact same strangeness. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? Calendar reminders are useless to me now, since I get so many of them that I don't care about. I've also had to silence the reminders.

Hello Alec123456 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you're having issues with your Calendar notifications.
In Settings>About>OS , what is your software version?
In the Calendar, swipe down from the top bezel and select Options. Under General, what's the current setting for Meeting Reminder under Meeting Settings displaying?

IPhone 5, iCloud calendar reminder issue

When I use the iCloud calendar on my iPhone 5 and make an event with a reminder set to "on time of event", it will sometimes just beep and flash a notice on lock screen for a few seconds and then the notice disappear from lockscreen.
Sometimes though, everything works as it should and the notice is still there on lockscreen till I unlock the screen (or the event is over).
All settings in notice center and mail/calendar is correct.
When I use google calendar it always works!
The problem was there from iOS 6.0 and is still there after update to 6.1
I have been in contact with apple support who couldn't find any help at the moment.
More people seem to have this according to this site: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6/244349-ios-6-calendar-reminder-issues.html

Update: The problem occurs when I have connected my iCloud acount with calendar enabled on my iMac.
It's like the iPhone 5 thinks I have seen the notice on my iMac and therefore removes it from the phone.
This happens even if my iMac is locked/lockscreen.

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!

Looking for an app that works with Mac and iPhone that will set calendar reminders of birthdays in contacts.

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here, so I've asked the hosts to remove your email address, postal addresses and phone numbers from your post.
I'm not entirely sure what you are saying, but if those apps are crashing then have you tried toggling them 'off' and 'on' via Settings > iCloud ? And if that doesn't fix it then try closing them via the iPad's taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
You could also try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it's a different problem ... ?

How to turn off gmail calendar reminders in iOS7?

How do I turn off calendar reminders in iOS7? I have gmail calendar setup but I don't want to receive reminders for upcoming events. I've been able to remove updates when the phone is asleep but if I click the home button to turn back on I get all the reminders of meeting invites and it's annoying. How do I remove those? Thanks.

IOS 5 calendar reminders

I have a problem with my calendar reminders disappearing as soon as the event time starts. Lets say I have an event at 12p and I have the calendar app set to alert me 5 minutes before. I get the alert 5 minutes before, but if I do not look at the phone or do not hear it and then later go to the phone there is no indication that an alert happened.
In the reminders app I get something like "conf call 5 min ago) or whatever amount of time it has been. This alert stays in the notification center until I dismiss it.
I would like the alert to stayin the notification center until I dismiss it. Anyway to do this?
I'm syncing with Google calendar if that helps.

I have the same question. It's very frustrating that the calendar dismisses itself out of the notifications area without the user DISMISSING it.
Did you find a work around? I rely heavily on calendar reminders to keep me on task.

Calendar, Reminders, Contacts do not sync
