Can't change alert time for all day event

I have an ipad 4, iOS 6.1.3. When. I set up an all day event and I want to be alerted the day before, the time for the alert is 9am and I can't change it. I went into the settings to make sure there wasn't a default set, and there wasn't. Is this just the way it is and I either take it or leave it? Thanks for your help.

You are correct - you can modify whether to receive an alert for an all day event, and, if so, how far in advance. But once you have chosen to receive the alert the day before the event, the 9AM time is not modifiable. I even checked on iCloud and on my Mac, and the same is true there.
(It turns out that other things that cannot be done on iPad, for example, create a repeating event on, say, the third Tuesday of each month, can be done on the Mac or in iCloud and then will function correctly on iPad.)
Anyway, if you would like to provide feedback to Apple, here's how:

Change Reminder Time for All Day Events

I have a simple question but I have not been able to find the answer anywhere including by searching this forum. On my iphone, the reminder for my all-day events pop up at 6:00 AM. I usually try to sleep until a little later and get annoyed every day whe these reminders wake me up. Can anyone tell me how to change the reminder time for all day events?

One thing that might help.
Find the event on the iphone.
Tap on the event, then tap edit.
Here you can edit the Alert for that event.
If it is a repeating event, it can be set to this event only or to all future events.
However, an alert always comes up before the event is supposed to start.
Hope this helps.

Calendar alerts created for all-day events contrary to "None" selected in preferences

In Calendar preferences I have selected None, None, and None. When I create a new event there is no alert, but when I click on the all-day box an alert is scheduled. I can uncheck the all-day box, but is there any way to prevent the box from being checked contrary to the preferences I've set? Perhaps this is a bug. In any case I will report it as such.

Eric, thank you for the suggestion. I turned off everything in System Preferences/Notifications/Calendar but an alert is still created when I check the all-day box.

How can I change view options for ALL playlists?

How can I change view options for ALL playlists? With one single click or trick?
I have a lot playlists and don't want to change every single one of them separatly.
Thanks for your help. (I use Windows 7)

There's no FAST way I know of, which is what I think you mean.
Only the painful SLOW way of one-by-one.
You could make a new playlist from the main library after you've set the columns up as you like.
Go to an existing playlist that doesn't have the columns you want, and select all.
RIght-click > Add to Playlist and send them to the new playlist.
That's still one-by-one and only works with static playlists, not smart ones.

How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2

How can I change the duration for all clips in iMovie 10.2? I'm used to working in the older version of iMovie where all I had to do was click on the gear on the clip and change the duration. ALso could use the tool bar to set the duration for all clips. Can't figure out how to do that in this new version. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

In the timeline select the clip whose duration you want to change. Click the adjust button at the top of the viewer and then click the i button and you can set the duration. For multiple clips select them all and in the i button type in the duration you want and it will be applied to all the selected clips. You can also change the duration of a clip in the timeline by putting the cursor over the beginning or end of a clip and dragging. A popup will show the new duration.

Default alarm for all-day events

When I set up iCal, I used a default alarm at 11 pm for ALL-DAY events. I don't stay up that late anymore, and now I have to manually reset the alarm to a more sane time every time I enter an all-day event. How do I change the default to earlier? Note: This is not the same default as for regular timed events ... that one I can change in Preferences.

Well, I couldn't figure this one out, so I just moved the calendars back to my main machine, and published them to the web for sharing with my laptop. On my main machine they worked fine.
Can't figure out why it wouldn't work on the server. Maybe it'll change with Leopard's iCal server.

How can I see more than 6 all day events in the week view without scrolling?

How can I see more than 6 all day events in the week view without scrolling? I need to see all of my all day events at once. I use this for scheduling and comparing of # invoices. Going back and forth to scroll is cumbersome. I just want to be able to expand the top section so I can see everything at once.

Any ideas, anyone?

Section for All-Day events

At the top of my Day- or Week-view calendars, in the small space available for All-Day events, there's always a space 1 row long even if there is no event planned. If at least one day has an all-day event, then the entire week has what looks like 2 slots, the event being on one and then room for another, but if you add a second all day event... you get my point.
Is this just the way iCal looks or is my program having a minor issue?
(I always try to search before posting but didn't find anything quite the same..)
Thanks guys.

There wouldn't by chance be some sort of official hack to change this state of affairs?
I use iCal on an iBook, and my screen real estate is limited. If I could get rid of this additional row in the all-day events section, I would have more space to display my other events.
I would even be prepared to go back to iCal 1.5 just to get more screen space - but unfortunately its not supported to run in Mac OS 10.4 (is there any way to hack iCal 1.5 to run on 10.4? You see, I'm seriously annoyed by this little UI change. Have even toyed with the thought of trying Entourage...)
Thanks

Why can't we change the 9am alarm for all-day events?

I need these all-day events alarms to be at another time, why can't I do this? Why the arbitrary 9am? Please, don't suggest to not use all-day events, this is not an acceptable solution to a very basic setting change that should be accessible.
Using iCal 6.0 on 10.8.3 with iCloud and iOS 6.

Hi,
See from the business perspective, but not from the system point of view.
Intial triggering point for any business operation(inquiry , quotation , order - others are dependant transactions) is sold to party ( the one who place the order), which means at the time of placing the order, respective business partner should completely aware of & disclose the required details to complete the business deal.
eg: where these order supposed to dispatch,
to whom business has to send the copy of invoice &
who is gonna settle this invoice amount.
So Sold to party will have all the required details. Hence one sold to party act as the other business partners.
Once agreed, then only business partner is created as Sold to party in system. If is there any changes from the Sold to party such as in future sold to party is not going to receive the goods, but they nominated some other business partner for this function, then the respective details will be recorded as Ship to party & assigned this number to Sold to Party.
So you cant change the sold to party as some other business partners such as SH, BP & PY.

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 alerts for all day events

Am I missing something??? Is there anyway to set an alert to go off on the date of an all day event but not at midnight the night before? It would be so much better if the user could choose what time the alert should go off, like 9am for instance. Who wants an alert at midnight!

Isnt there any other way than doing it manually? I have a lot of birthdays and anne. saved on the contacts info on my outlook with the alert set to go off at 8 AM but as the previous person said....all alerts tend to go off at 12 midnight which is quite irritating.

So, i have bad news for you : you'll have to rebuild again.
Meanwhile i have excellent news for you : there's an online tool made by Johannes Henseler called Sidecar xml which builds the necessary xml file for you, sort of what you find in the Digital Publishing Folio Editor website, but saves it in your Folio folder.
Next time you import all your folder (with that file), it will place all the necessary information, and even reorder the articles.
Build once, play many times.

Calendar app changes End date of all-day events? Grrrr.

Okay this is getting incredibly frustrating. I use all-day events essentially as to-Do's. Things I have to do on a given day but no assigned time to do them.
(I can't stand the idea of a separate to do list from my calendar so don't bother suggesting that please)
If I do the task, I simply delete the to-do (I.e. I delete the all-day event).
If I am unable to do it on the given date, I move it to a later date. Sometimes the best day, sometimes a few days later.
Here is what happens...
- I select the event
- I hit Edit
- I hit the Start/End date, up comes the date scroll wheel
- I change the start date, which also changes the end date to match, then hit Done
- when I am back to the event listing, the end date has CHANGED. Sometimes it's a day later, sometimes several. No rhyme or reason or pattern I can discern.
Help as this is really annoying.
This was happening on my iPad 2 and is now happening on my New iPad.

Nope. In fact, not only have I not fixed it, I now also have a new problem with iCal events - both timed and all day.
Some, for no rhyme or reason, add an alert. They always seem to be the day before at 9am alerts.
If I go into the event and remove the alert, it will often recreate the alert a few days later.
VERY FRUSTRATING!!

No Email Alarm for All-Day Events

Hello, Everyone,
I've got a desktop and a laptop, and I've been syncing the iCal calendars on each for some time. However, this has resulted in one annoying thing - whenever an event comes up in iCal that I'd set an email alarm for, I would receive multiple alarms, one from each machine.
I thought I'd solve this problem by moving the calendars to my server (a headless Mini running 10.4.6 Server), and thus only get one email alarm. However, since I moved it, I'm getting no alarms.
I've run some tests, and confirmed that if I set up a test event at a specific time, I will get an email alarm for it. However, if the event is set up to be an all-day event, no alarm.
I've restarted the server, I've made sure the iCalScheduler is running...these calendars have worked for years, and now I'm perplexed. Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Martin

Well, I couldn't figure this one out, so I just moved the calendars back to my main machine, and published them to the web for sharing with my laptop. On my main machine they worked fine.
Can't figure out why it wouldn't work on the server. Maybe it'll change with Leopard's iCal server.
