Calendar - Syncing and Alarms

Two Questions
1. Why does my iphone not sync with my 'birthday' subscription. It is subscribed to from my contacts and syncs fine with mobile me; and
2. Why can I not set alarms for my birthday calendar if it is subscribed from contacts.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey arunabha_bb,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
When was the calendar alarm working properly?  Did you do a synchronize of the calendar entries lately?  Are the alarms disabled or off by an hour?
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

  • Yosemite calendar syncing and other issues

    Hello all,
    I am running latest versions of IOS 8 on IPAD Air2, iPhone5S and latest Yosemite on IMAC intel last year model.
    There are few issues here....
    In Mavericks when I edited an event in calendars it would show up almost immediately on my phone. No more. In Yosemite I would edit an event and it seems like a 50/50 chance it would RETAIN in the Yosemite calendar. And if it does, it does no sync across devices. This is a pain in my ***.
    Second issue is when I use the 'shutdown' feature top left corner of OS X, the unit would begin to shut down then the spinning logo would keep spinning and unit would never shut down. The energy saver would take effect. I come from work thinking it was shut down, press the power button on back and the unit 'wakes' and continues with spinning shutdown logo.
    Third issue, my iPhone randomly asks for the iCloud password, even though it is enable across all of my three devices.
    Other than these issues I love Yosemite and IOS 8, but these are really kicking me from behind.
    I appreciate any and all help!
    Thanks

    I have the same problem.  Events entered on the macbook are not going to the cloud.

  • 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.

  • Calendar sync and .pwi conversion

    I have a 9550 Storm and went from XP to Windows 7 when my old HP died. Under the old system Outlook and Active Sync took care of Calendar and mobile notes. In Windows 7 neither are there and Blackberry desktop doesn't do it. Version 7 works better than 6, for me. Any suggestions?

    I am also having this problem and have tried multiple "fixes" nothing has worked so far. Has anyone found a fix?

    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Edit: the iPhone calendar works perfect with my MobileMe account, but I want it on Gmail as well ( if not both is possible I would prefer Gmail )

    I tryed to add my gmail account to the microsoft exchange as it says in on of the links above, but the only thing that happend was that i got all of the email contact on gmail addon on my iPhone, which was really annoying since i cant call an email adress.
    Anothing thing I would like to add is that i also would like to sync my contacts to Gmail.
    I am fully aware that I have MobileMe, but I would like to have it synced to Gmail because thats what I use each day and I have 2-step-authentication.

  • Calendar, Profile and Alarm Clock interactions nee...

    I need my calendar events to modify my current profile, so that when I go into a meeting the calendar will cause the profile to switch to silent, then when I come out of the meetting it will go back to General. Similarly, I need a 'sleep' timer that makes the profile switch to silent then back on o general again after the morning awake time is reached or morning alarm goes off.
    Are these things possible?
    Best Regards,
    Michael

    -Please check this for calendar. But i think you need to have .net installed to use this vi

  • Calendar Syncing and View on 3G

    How do I make birthdays show up on 3G. Birthdays are categorized as subscriptions on my OS X calendar. Everything sync well including MobileMe calendar and 3G. But the subscriptions (bithdays) don't show on 3G. Help? Thanks!

    Try signing out of iCloud on your Mac.  Go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in (your data will download back to your Mac).  Then try adding another test contact and calendar event on your Mac and see if they sync to your phone.
    If they still don't sync to your phone, sign out of iCloud on your phone and sign back in.  Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Delete from My iPhone and provide your password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud).  Then reset your phone (hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release); when it restarts go back to Settings>iCloud and sign back in (your data will download back to your phone.  Then try syncing to your Mac (and vice versa) again and see if it works properly now.

  • Calendar Sync and Battery life poor after 6.1 update for iphone 5

    Since the update to IOS 6.1, my iphone 5 has had numerous issues:

  • Calendar sync and daylight saving

    I have a 6720 classic which i sync with MS Outlook 2007 via OVI suite (latest versions of all software on PC and phone). New zealand has just put it's clocks back one hour for daylight saving. Since this has occured, my existing appointments on my phone now all start one hour too early. I believe that i have the correct sync settings.

    I am also having this problem and have tried multiple "fixes" nothing has worked so far. Has anyone found a fix?

  • Calendar syncing problems with outlook and iphone

    Months and months ago I had the following window pop up when I go to sync my phone:
    "synching with iphone will change more than XX% of your calendars"
    First I have to say the vagueness of Apples messages is disappointing.  This message does not convey to me exactly what its going to do if I accept the message.  This is my first apple product and I love my iphone, but itunes and everything related to the PC is disappointing!  Anyway, I have been hitting cancel because when I attempt to lookup the problem online in a Google search I don't find any quick definitive answers.  I no longer use outlook on this computer, so I want all the calendar entries in the phone to remain the same.  I've attempted to uncheck calendar syncing and get the following message:
    "Itunes will no longer sync calendars to the Iphone.  Would you like itunes to remove calendars previously synced to you iphone"
    Once again, the infamous apple user friendliness I've heard so much about doesn't seam to be true!  This message is so vague.  What calendars is it going to remove, the ones on the pc or the phone?  And why would it remove anything, I just want it to stop syncing.  Urg, frustraded.  Any help is appreciated!  Thanks.

    Originally all of Apple products were intended for use with Mac computers. Macs have default program - iCal to sync calendars. Windows default program is ironically Microsoft Outlook. There couple more options in iTunes for
    calendar sync, but those need to be chosen and not default.
    In your particular situation since you don't have outlook anymore, you don't need to make any changes. No outlook - no sync. Apple way - no user interference nessesary.
    Please do remember that everyting I write is just my opinion, nothing more or less.

  • Google Calendar Sync

    I saw that another user previously reported an issue with Google Calendar Sync and that you then closed the thread stating that the issue was "solved" by knowledge base article 19691.  That article states that the TouchPad only syncs Google Calendar entries 1 month back and 2 months forward.  I believe this Knowledgebase article is incorrect and that you do have a bug that needs to be resolved.
    In my Google Calendar, I have entered a number of eents related to a vacation planned for late December/Early January.  On the TouchPad, I found that all the events that I had entered into the calendar prior to the initial set-up are missing.  Several events (in January) that I added to the calendar (not using the TouchPad) since the initial set-up of the TouchPad were all present.  In addition, all of the events are present on my Palm Pre running WebOS 1.4.5.
    I then tried removing the calendar and re-adding it on the TouchPad.  The result of this was that the January events that were previously present disappeared.  It now is clear to me that the Google Sync on the TouchPad works as follows:
    1. During the initial sync (when the Google account is first added), events are only added to the calendar using the 1 month back/2 months ahead rule as stated in the KB article.
    2. Any events added to the calendar (either on the TouchPad or elsewhere) after the initial sync are synchronized to the TouchPad regardless of how far in the future they occur.
    Obviously, the Google API does allow syncing of all entries in the calendar, not just a 3-month period.  WebOS clearly should synchronize all future events (as it did on the older, pre-HP versions) as doing anything else is a serious limitation on the usability of the calendar.

    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    I have also added items to my Google Calender in Feb 2012. I then went to the calender app on the Touchpad. From the menu in the Calender app selected Sync Now. The item appeared on the Touchpad.

  • Only one gCal sub-calendar syncs with iPhone

    1. I have just added my gCal CalDav account to my iPhone list. I have followed the direct gCal --> iPhone syncing instructions very very carefully. It turns out, however, that only one of my various gmail sub-calendars syncs, and all the rest stay practically invisible. What do I do wrong?
    2. Also, I was able to CalDav sync gCal <--> iCal, and these sub-calendars do appear on my iCal, but as delegations. Weirdly enough, the delegations stay invisible to iTunes, and thus preventing me to sync iCal --> iPhone.
    3. When the dust settles down, I have on my iPhone only a partial representation of my gCal calendars. Help is highly appreciated!

    Ah ha, I found a workaround! This is using iOS 4.
    1. Set which calendars are shared by Google Calendar via CalDAV at:
    https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect
    2. On the iPhone, go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add Account... -> Other -> Add CalDAV Account
    Server: www.google.com
    User Name: (your gmail address)
    Password: (your gmail password)
    Description: gcal
    This creates a gcal section in the iOS 4 Calendar app after the From My Mac section, which contains my (default) gcal calendar, and the other calendars I shared via the top url.
    All of this is, I think, independent of which calendars iCal uses and which calendars you told iTunes to sync to the iPhone.

  • Pocket PC Calendar Sync v.9.04.22

    I have downloaded and installed both the latest ActiveSync and Calendar Sync and cannot get the Calendar Sync portion working with my PPC (Ipaq 5555). It worked before upgrading to 9.04.22. The installs look like they go without a hitch, but when I sync the settings for calendar still point to the Outlook settings instead of bringing up the Oracle Calendar settings like it used to. Also, after installing Calendar Synch I lose the option of deleting partnerships in ActiveSync. I am thinking that I might be able to manually add a registry key in the Windows CE section to get it working, but don't know what to add/remove. I am installing as an admin on the system (XPsp2), BTW.
    Thanks for any advice.

    You should try SyncML; works with my Dell AXIM X 50.
    SyncML requires:
    1. A SyncML client. For Palm / Pocket PC, you can use the Synthesis SyncML client from http://www.synthesis.ch. Som
    e mobile phones come with native SyncML clients.
    2. Data to be synced. In that case, this is Contacts, Tasks, Meetings from the Calendar Server.
    3. An HTTP connection: this can be via the craddle, via bluetooth, via GPRS, ...
    SyncML is not a Wireless protocol. It's a Sync protocol over IP.
