Calendar Snoozing

Is there any way to snooze each calendar item for a different amount of time (as you can with MS OUtlook - 5mins - 2wks options I think)
Without this everything goes off at least every 30mins - which makes it unusable (IMO)
Newbie who got my BB last week so maybe justa  bit slow - loving (most of) it apart form that
Please can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Solved!

Hi and welcome to the forums!
The range is 1 week to zero minutes for default reminders
The range for Snooze is Zero to 30 min.
If you want to set reminders weeks ahead, make it a reoccurring appointment.

  • IPhone 4S Calendar snooze feature

    Does anyone know if Apple is going to add an Outlook-type snooze feature to its calendar?
    As is it is quite useless, and I can't find any third party apps that work.
    Thanks!

    Hello askJLi,
    It may be that the QuickType suggestions are being hidden. If you see a small bar above the keyboard, you can pull it up to reveal the QuickType suggestions.
    Hide predictive text. Pull down QuickType suggestions. Pull them back up when you want them to reappear.

  • Calendar snooze gives wrong birthday date

    I just noted something odd in iCal.
    I have set up my contacts in address book with birthdays and then enabled "show birthdays" in Calendar app (Mountain Lion).
    So what happened is that I had a reminder for a friends birthday tomorrow. I hit snooze and the birtday showed up in calendar as she is having her birthday today (one day too soon) as well as tomorrow.
    The correct birthday is still there tomorrow. The wrong birthday is showing up as in this case 34 years and another birthday tomorrow with 35 years (which is right).
    Removing "show birthdays" also deletes the wrong birthday and. Any auggestion? The birthday in my contact is correct.

    I have the same issue.
    As a temporary workaround i found it works to open Contacts, actually change the birthday to some random date, save, change it back. Now only the correct birthday should remain.
    Let's hope apple fixes this soon, in the meantime: don't click snooze :-/

  • IPhone Calendar Snooze App

    Does anyone know of an app where I can snooze the calendar alarm that pops up on my iPhone instead of openning the calendar event and changing the alarm time? It really surprises me that this is not built in. TIA

    As this forum is for users just like you and Apple does not read, please post to the feedback link previously provided. Posting here will not get any word to Apple.
    Very good idea for the calendar app. It would be nice.

  • Calendar snooze "until start" doesn't work

    I'm using Mavericks 10.9.2.
    If I have an event notification pop up, I can click and hold the snooze button and one of the options is "until start time". 
    However, selecting this causes an alert to appear at some seemingly random time *after* the start time.  It never will alert me at the start time.
    Any thoughts on why this might be?  Does anyone else have this problem?

    Thomas,
    Hopefully, Why does the month March 2013 not show...: Apple Support Communities, and Why can I NOT select March 2013 Month...: Apple Support Communities will provide you with a solution for that problem.

  • Evaluating a Q10... 12 days left to decide if I want to keep it...

    Hello,
    I am on day two of evaluating a Q10 (AT&T) and I have 12 days to decide if I want to keep it.  I'm on the fence.  I loved my 8330 Curve back in the day but as of today there isn't a mobile device I am found of.  I've been begrudingly using the Galaxy S3 for the last two years.
    This post is going to seem negative since I'm trying to find a way to deal with several issues and options I expected to have on the Q10.  I have little time to search and read although I plan on doing as much of that as I can.  What I'm looking for here are workarounds, planned changes or the best threads discussing an issue. 
    Before I get into the issues, I'll start with the postive.  The size is right.  The S3 is uncomfortable to me and easily slips without a case.  A few benchmark times: 
    Place call to saved contact: 
      Q10: 5 seconds
      S3: 13.5 seconds (using Dialer One)
    Lookup contact in Outlook Global Address List (ActiveSync): 
      Q10: 12 seconds  - and it's simple to save as a contact
      S3: 40 seconds - (using Touchdown) - this is just to lookup, good luck saving as a contact... I usually end up looking up multiple times
    Taking a photo of a cat and accidently emailing it to your boss through Outlook Exchange Activesync: 
      Q10: 15 seconds
      S3: 45 seconds (using Touchdown - did not send to boss in this case)
    That last benchmark brings me to my first issue: 
    1. The Q10 have an option to deactivate the "predictive" email addresses that show up when composing a new email.  If I send a thousand emails to a few "junk" email accounts, will the predictions change?  How long until they change back?  It is simply a count of the number of emails sent?  If so, I can work around this.
    2. The Q10 Should have cursor movemenet/text selection keys.  I forgive RIM when I have trouble selecting a textbox or button on screen — I know they're new at touchscreens.  However, text selection on the Curve outperformed any iOS or Android device that I've used.  If the programmers at RIM don't understand what needs to be done then RIM need to hire someone who has worked extensively in text environments.  I don't care if I have to push some strange combination of asdw for left/down/right/up with alt, z, shift or other keys held for word/sentence jumping and selecting.  The "white circle" is simply unusable for rapid text manipulation. 
    3. The Q10 should have an option to never mark email as read on server (leave unread on server).  Similar to the "do not delete on server" option, that many are complainig about.  I'm amazed at how few settings the phone offers, especially in email.  I still find myself looking for an "advanced settings" button that perhaps I haven't found yet.  I thought it was Apple that simplified devices to the point that settings don't even exist...
    4. The Q10 should allow for selectable snooze times.  This is one area where I've been spoiled by the very useful Andoid app "Calendar Snooze."  Even before purchasing the Q10 I realized that I might need to carry around a wifi enabled Android device just to have the extensive appointment/reminder functionality that I've come to depend on. 
    5. There should be a method to activate the Q10 with the spacebar.  Lock screens have become popular to prevent inadvertent screen taps but key presses are much more difficult to do by mistake, especially with holsters.  The whole "swipe up" is horrible in my opinion - I need to do it two or three times in some cases.  Pressing the button on the top is just awkward.  This is one of my biggest complaints, along with #6.
    6. The Q10 should have the ability to launch apps from the "home screen" or when off.  I'd prefer when off.  If not, then home screen should be something I can jump to anytime the phone is turned on.  Again, more options.  To be as usable as the Curve was, this phone needs to have a quick way to power on (space bar or any key), an option to turn off the "swipe up to unlock" and support for loading apps like memopad, calendar, contacts, email with the press of one character on the keyboard.  This is the main reason I wanted a keyboard again!  Since apps like memopad have been removed, the keys should be programmable to allow for launching of third party apps. 
    This list of issues makes the Curve's "need to dial 911 and hang up when the battery is low to make a call" problem seem insignificant.  However, I'm hoping that there are some work-arounds that others have figured out.
    I may have more than 12 days to evaluate since I have a "creaky/sticky" space bar which neccesitates a replacement phone.  Either way, two weeks is not long and if I had to decide today I would be sending the phone back and probably just sticking with the S3 until something that is worth the cardboard box it's shipped in becomes available. 
    Thanks, 
    Dave

    These addresses cannot be turned off or deleted.  They should go away after you email someone else regularly but it does seem to take a while.  I haven't figured out the exact time it takes.  You get used to ignoring them after a while until all of a sudden something usable pops up.  My wife's email address is finally in mine now. 
    2. The Q10 Should have cursor movemenet/text selection keys.  I forgive RIM when I have trouble selecting a textbox or button on screen — I know they're new at touchscreens.  However, text selection on the Curve outperformed any iOS or Android device that I've used.  If the programmers at RIM don't understand what needs to be done then RIM need to hire someone who has worked extensively in text environments.  I don't care if I have to push some strange combination of asdw for left/down/right/up with alt, z, shift or other keys held for word/sentence jumping and selecting.  The "white circle" is simply unusable for rapid text manipulation. 
    Cursor movement/placement:  Touch the cursor where you want it.  If you are off by one letter just tap it again and a circle will appear.  You can then tap any side of the circle to  move the circle/cursor one space in that direction.  You can go up/down/right/left, etc.  To select text simply touch and hold where you'd like to select.  It will select the word first.  Continue holding and it will select the sentence.  Continue holding and it will select the paragraph, and finally the entire document.  You can also move the dots on either end of the selection to move it manually.
    3. The Q10 should have an option to never mark email as read on server (leave unread on server).  Similar to the "do not delete on server" option, that many are complainig about.  I'm amazed at how few settings the phone offers, especially in email.  I still find myself looking for an "advanced settings" button that perhaps I haven't found yet.  I thought it was Apple that simplified devices to the point that settings don't even exist...
    With the latest OS update (not yet released by ATT but see below for more info on upgrading anyway) you can choose to delete on handheld only, server and handheld, or prompt each time.  Reads are sync'd and can't be controlled but I don't know of any device that uses the same email protocols (iOS, Android, etc.) where the reads syncs can be turned off.
    4. The Q10 should allow for selectable snooze times.  This is one area where I've been spoiled by the very useful Andoid app "Calendar Snooze."  Even before purchasing the Q10 I realized that I might need to carry around a wifi enabled Android device just to have the extensive appointment/reminder functionality that I've come to depend on. 
    There is no adjustment for this.  There was a secret way to do this on the old BB devices that I didn't learn until after I went to BB10.  It would be nice to have that option for calendar notifications.
    5. There should be a method to activate the Q10 with the spacebar.  Lock screens have become popular to prevent inadvertent screen taps but key presses are much more difficult to do by mistake, especially with holsters.  The whole "swipe up" is horrible in my opinion - I need to do it two or three times in some cases.  Pressing the button on the top is just awkward.  This is one of my biggest complaints, along with #6.
    There is no option to wake with the space bar.  The only option given for anything like this is the ability to turn off swipe to wake.  If you turn that off then swiping up does not wake the device and you have to press the lock button on the top.  Not really what you're looking for.  Having used the device for over a year now I don't even think about the swipe to wake and I love it.  There is no "home" button to fail like so many iOS users complain about.  The button either fails or gets very sticky.  I find myself swiping up to wake my iPad sometimes it's so natural now.
    6. The Q10 should have the ability to launch apps from the "home screen" or when off.  I'd prefer when off.  If not, then home screen should be something I can jump to anytime the phone is turned on.  Again, more options.  To be as usable as the Curve was, this phone needs to have a quick way to power on (space bar or any key), an option to turn off the "swipe up to unlock" and support for loading apps like memopad, calendar, contacts, email with the press of one character on the keyboard.  This is the main reason I wanted a keyboard again!  Since apps like memopad have been removed, the keys should be programmable to allow for launching of third party apps. 
    Not quite sure what you're asking here.  Launch apps when device is off??  This may help, though.  On the home screen and any icon screen you will see a row of small dots, four tiny squares, and a small envelope icon.  The envelope icon is the hub, the four dots are the active frames page, and the small dots are your screens of app icons.  You can touch any of those small icons and jump directly to that page.  You can swipe left and right across those and move to any of those pages, as well.  You can find info about the available keyboard shortcuts here:  http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/61550/shortcutList.jsp

    Dave, I've answered your issues in the quote above.  I don't usually do it that way but it seemed easiest in this case.
    Most of what you post about have workarounds and is actually possible in most cases.  I mentioned the OS 10.2.1update above which ATT has not yet released.  There are many new features included in 10.2.1 that make the device much more feature-packed.  I recommend updating the device to the newer OS, even though ATT doesn't yet support it.  It will give you a much better "test drive" of the device.  Here is a link on how to do it.  Just follow the instructions exactly and it's really easy:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-BB10-OS-Using-Sach...
    Once updated you can install almost any Android app using the BB10 app called Snap.  I included a link on how to install that in the post with the OS update instructions.  Again, I HIGHLY recommend installing the update.  It doesn't void ATT's warranty, however, their support line personnel can't support it because it's not officially released by them.  The official released OS can easily be re-installed should the need arise.  If you return the device they likely won't even know you updated it anyway. 
    All that said, since you're using the S3 I really recommend the Z10 over the Q10.  I have both (as well as a Z30) and absolutely LOVE the Z10/Z30 devices.  I was on a 9810 before the Z10 and wasn't sure I'd like the virtual keyboard but that keyboard is far better than any other touch device keyboard on the market.  It blows away the S3 keyboard and my iPad keyboard.  I am much faster on the virtual keyboard than I ever was on the 9810 virtual keyboard.  It is like magic how it knows what I wanted to type instead of what I really typed.  I have the bad habit of entering the letter b instead of the space key and I can type a whole sentence like that and it will change it automatically.  Can't do that with a physical keybaord.  Additionally, the bigger screen on the Z10/Z30 makes everything better. 
    Hope all this helps.

  • Reminders Notifications

    I have moved to Iphone from Android.  Here is my biggest problem and I hope there is a solution.
    On Android there was an app called “Calendar Snooze”  I need to find something that will accomplish the same thing on an Iphone.
    What the app did was, when a calendar event came up a box appeared (Similar to an Alert if the phone is on) but even if the phone was off when I turned it on the Calendar Snooze box came up and you could NOT proceed with anything on the phone unless you dismissed or snoozed the calendar event.
    The key here is it forced you to take action in order to use your phone and proceed!!  I know that things pop up and show in notifications but I have to remember to go check that.  With the calendar snooze I could snooze for 1hour, 5 hours, 8 hours, 1day or 1 week.  Then when that time was up a pop up box came up again that would not let me proceed unless I did another snooze or dismiss.
    With this function I never missed anything!  The pop up came up if the phone was on or not and if it came up at a time that I was busy I could just snooze for a period of time that fit when I could get to it.
    I guess I used it more like a todo list reminder than and actual calendar of things to do for the day.
    The key is, I had to snooze or dismiss to proceed, no way around it,  then it was relentless in making sure I did not miss anything important.
    I hope I was clear and hope there is a solution.  FYI I do have Notifications set for my calendar and have sounds on, badge app icon on and show on lock screen on with Alerts set.  Things come up but do not require action to proceed

    I've been seeing this for some time now and getting quite sick of it. It happens when I've been away at work for the day and come home to find frozen notifications.
    You can fix this temporarily by quitting Notification Centre from Activity Monitor but it keeps happening to me every week or so.

  • No longer snooze times in mavericks calendar?

    I think I have this figured out now after several runs through these discussions and other forums, but I want to make sure I'm correct in my understanding... can someone please confirm?
    I used to rely heavily on ical alerts for things that didn't have finite deadlines, but rather some thing would extend for days or even weeks beyond their original date. I'm finding now with the new calendar app in mavericks/10.9.x that the snooze option only works for periods of time longer than a few minutes, when and only when, those lengths of time still fit in prior to the actual time of the event. is this the way it works, or just how I'm interpreting it?
    I did find the reminders app still has the ability to snooze something for 1-2 hours or days, or even weeks, like ical used to.
    do I need to move ALL my recurring events (such as tax payment reminders that come up 15-60 days in advance of when they're actually due) so that I have the ability to delay them for more than a few minutes?
    to give you an idea of how I used it... I would set recurring events for quarterly tax payments to come up perhaps 15 days ahead of when I'd expect to prepare them, which might have been 30 days prior to them being due. now, when they come up in calendar app, they only give me the option to snooze them for a few minutes, not 2 hours, or a day, or a week as I used to depending on my work load and/or prep of documentation. beyond this, I also had several things that I reminded myself to do but weren't critical if not performed on or by that date. I used to push things one day at a time for weeks, and sometimes one week at a time for months. it appears that none of this is possible anymore?
    am I correct in my understanding that calendar has severely limited its snooze options and reminders, a completely separate app, is the only way to bring some of the functionality back to my mac? I really do not want to move everything that doesn't have a finite due date over to another app. perhaps I'm better off jumping from 10.6 to 10.9 like I did last week. as I'm reading all the notes, it sounds like others had it worse over the previous versions of 10.7 and 10.8. I'm not looking forward to moving to busycal or something similar just because apple foolishly removed functionality that had been fine for years and years. is there any way to customize plist files or anything that would allow me to bring additional snooze options back to the 20+ calendars I have from the past dozen years or so working in osx?

    whosails,
    quite right! I agree, this was painfully difficult to find! and your solution is the correct one. it took me an age to figure that out!

  • I can no longer determine a calendar alert snooze time?

    I'm very dependent on my calendar alerts and use them for recurring events like bill paying and unique events like meetings and doctor appointments. Up until OS 10.7 (Lion), when an alert popped up and I wanted to continue being alerted of that event, I could simply choose the snooze time (be it 5 minutes, an hour, a day or a week) and could continue to be re-reminded until I chose not to be.
    Last week I upgraded to Mountain Lion so I could take maximum advantage of iCloud and my new iPhone 5. After much frustration and searching, it's apparent that the option of determining the snooze time in "Calendar", formerly known as "iCal" is simply no longer an option. Why remove a core feature of a core app? I'm stuck using the default snooze time as set in the calendar app, then, when the alert does pop up, I'm stuck with either dismissing it completely or hitting "snooze" only to be reminded every 15 or 20 minutes. This works okay for events with a short lag time, but in other cases (I will sometimes set up a bill payment reminder days before it's due so I have time to cover the due amount in my bank account) I'm stuck having either it pop up incessantly for days EVERY 20 minutes for DAYS or dismissing it, risking missing the payment due date.
    I know from scanning these forums that a lot of other people are unhappy with the dumbed down functionality of this core app. I haven't been able to find an alternative to the app from any third-party. It sounds like both "busycal" and "fantastical" are dependent on Apple's calendar app so I don't know if they will solve the problem or not. I don't really wnat to spend money on a third party app just to get back a core function of an app I've been dependent on for years.
    If anyone has found a good alternative to help get back this simple, but critical functionality, I'd love to know about it. Thanks!

    I have also submitted feedback to Apple about this, as I think they have rendered Calendar all but useless by stripping out the ability to set sound cues, and to specify the lag time when hitting the "snooze" button. I completely agree, this is a serious and unprofessional messtep to remove a core function as though it were a trivial feature of the software. I've been a loyal Apple consumer for two decades, and this really makes me angry.
    I am hopeful the wonderful people at Apple will restore this function with the next update to the OS.

  • Why is there no 'Snooze' option for iPhone calendar? Patent issue?

    Blackberry and Microsoft mobile platforms offer this. Clearly Apple isn't losing sales because of not offering a Snooze for the native calendar, but it is an extreme nuisance to not implement what seems as such a simple feature.
    My question is why? I can't see Apple ignoring what many business users would find useful for no reason. Is it a patent issue? I don't understand how it would be if both Microsoft and RIM have this feature...

    No one here can answer a question of "why". Unless Apple publishes a statement concerning the reason for the design decision, anything that could be said would be speculation, which is prohibited by the terms of service here.

  • Wish there was a snooze function with alerts from calendar on iphone

    hey guys, does anyone know of an app that acts like microsoft outlook in the way that, when you set a reminder, and it pops up on your iphone -BUT then gives you the option to snooze for 5mins, 10 mins, 15mins, etc.. until you "dismiss" the reminder? right now the calendar on the iphone doesnt let you snooze it, or maybe im just not doing it right. any help? thanks guys

    No. For any calendar app to even generate the first alert, that app would need to be left running constantly since 3rd party apps cannot run in the background. Maybe with 3.0 and push notifications, there will be a 3rd party workaround, but don't hold your breath.
    Really, it's up to Apple to implement a snooze function - it would be best if integrated into the Calendar app.

  • In mountain lion calendar, the alerts on give you a "close" or "snooze" options.  What happen to being able to select how long you wanted to snooze your alert?

    SnoozeMaster is now avaiable from the Mac App Store, for MacOS X 10.8 and up.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/snoozemaster/id614955483?mt=12
    It addresses this exact issue. You'll be able to configure different pre-set snooze times, enter custom snooze times when an alarm triggers, etc. It's what snoozing should've been from the get go.

  • Any idea on a snooze feature in calendar, once you receive an appointment reminder?

    Any idea on a snooze feature in calendar, once you receive an appointment reminder?

    Thanks for posting this. I share your frustration.
    In addition to the location bar not liking phone numbers, it doesn't like detail other than what's in its suggested location.  For example, I wanted to put the Suite # in with the address.  But because the address was found by the auto complete, just hitting enter or clicking outside the event creation dialog auto-filled with the iCal info - minus the additional information I had added!  Frustrating, because I put specifics like this in my phone/calendar to ensure that I show up at the right place at the right time!
    I've combed through all the settings and Googled for a solution to no avail.
    Have you come across a solution in the seven months since your last post?
