Can't set Calendar Alerts for Google Calendar

I have several Google Calendars for my work and personal schedules. I've used Apple Calendar (formerly iCal) on my Mac, and the Calendar app on my iPhone to interact with my Google Calendars for years with no issues.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can no longer set alerts on any Google Calendar events. When I edit a Google Calendar event using Apple Calendar, I can change any field, including the 'Alert' settings. However, when I click to save my changes, the alert settings are entirely removed.
In Calendar Preferences, I can set a default alert that applies to all my Google Calendars, but I can't change the settings for any individual calendar event. If I attempt to do so, then Apple Calendar removes all alerts from the event.
UPDATE: It seems the problem is that Google Calendar doesn't know what to do with a "Message with sound" alert type. You can use "Message" and it works fine (with no sound obviously).

Strange, I am experiencing the exact problems you describe, however it doesn't matter whether the alert is set as "message" or "message with sound".
By default, events created in a Google calendar have an alert of "mesage, 30 minutes before". If I try to change the time, add a new alert, or remove the default alert, inevitably it get's reset to the default state.
Furthermore, If I change the alert using Google Calendar in a web browser, the event in Calendar (aka iCal) doesn't get updated, it stays at 30 minutes. Sometimes I receive the alert an hour before anyway, despite what Calendar indicates. Very Frustrating.

Can we set an Alert for JDBC Connection Failures ?

Hi friends ,
                  Can we set an alert for JDBC Connection failure as mail as well as Alert ?
                  I am using JDBC Sender adapter to read the data from sql server table.
                  I am not using BPM .
                  I want to set an alert and mail to respective person when JDBC Connection failure .
                  If XI trying to read a database if connection failure or connection properties lost it won't come ti Integration engine itself right ?
                 I assume as we have to set alert at system level .
                Can you please give me the step by step details to set this kind of alerts ?
                  Expecting your reply asap .
Best Regards.,
V.Rangarajan

Renga rajan,
This is what I tried to explain in yuor previous threads.
>>>If XI trying to read a database if connection failure or connection properties lost it won't come ti Integration engine itself right ?
In such cases, you will get <b>an error at adapter level</b> and the msg wont come into IE.
>>>I assume as we have to set alert at system level .
If you are above SP 14 in XI3.0, then you can raise alerts for adapter errors also.
No special config required for this.
To understand this, give it a try and you will get the concept.

Why am I getting double popup alerts for Google Calendar events on iPhone?

This is happening on both mine and my wife's iPhones (mine is a 4 and hers is a 3GS) which are both on the latest iOS (6.0.1). This is what I've figured out:
On iPhones: Default is to set no alerts/reminder for calendar events
On Google Calendar: Default is to set a popup alert 1 hour before event & email 1 hour before event
When I create a new event on my iPhone: It saves with no alerts set, then after uploading to google calendar it shows as having two alerts 1 hour before the event. If I go into Google Calendar, it shows that 1 popup and 1 email are each set for 1 hour before the event.
When I create a new event on in Google Calendar: It saves with 1 popup and 1 email are each set for 1 hour before the event per the default settings. If I go to my iPhone, it shows that I have 2 alerts, both for 1 hour before the event.
So it seems that the iPhone is seeing both the popup and email alerts and creating two popup alerts on my phone!
Is there anyway to fix this? I've tried setting up the calendar on my iPhone through Gmail account, Exchange account and CalDav account and it's all the same.

I figured it out. It has to do with which calendars you want displayed. Duplications come from multiple calender selections.

Can you set an alert for birthdays in Addressbook and iCal?

When I migrated from Palm Calendar to iCal, my calendar had my birthdays in it repeating each year and with a 7 day alert so I could send a card or get a present in time.
I see you can list a birthday in Addressbook and set the iCal pref to show them which is at first glance very cool and green but when I open the birthday event in iCal I don't see any way to set an alert which is a big limitation.
If I can't set alerts, then the Addressbook/iCal birthday syncing is kind of pointless and limited, unless I'm missing how to set alerts.

Hi Steven,
This is one of the reasons why I wrote Dates to iCal.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries.
Best wishes

Can I have an alert for each calendar overlay

I have a calendar web app on my SharePoint site. I have several overlays for it for our different conference rooms/departments. What I want to do is to have an alert made for each individual overlay. My result would be that the director
for that specific conference room/department would get an email/alert stating that someone has booked the room for a specific time. Is this possible? I know that I can create an alert for the entire web app, but I don't want that. The HR
director does not need to know when the Resource Center Boardroom is booked and vice versa kind of thing.
Amanda

Few quick questions -
When you say 'calendar web app', is it SharePoint 2013 app? or just SharePoint web application or SharePoint custom solution developed using full trust model?
Are you using SharePoint calender or Outlook (Exchange Server) calendar?
Do you want to send notification immediately or schedule it daily?
Thanks,

Can't set an alert for my Reminders

I have gone into reminders and set a new reminder (Things to do tonight) with 4 items in the list.
I have spent the last 20 minutes trying to set a time for the reminder to alert me/remind me but I can't for the life of me figure how to set an alert!
I feel like a retard ... clearly I'm just slow and it's looking me right in the face...
How do I set my reminder to remind me????

Each item in the list is a separate reminder.
Tap one, tap the i with a circle and set the date/time to be reminded.

Can I set up alerts for multiple email accounts? (...

I have two hotmail accounts set up on my Nokia E71.
For some reason I only get alerts for the second account I added.
I have gone through every setting/preferance menu I can think of to see if there's a difference but can find none.
Can anyone think of what I'm missing? If anything, I would have expected an alert for the original email.
I want to make sure I am getting the maximum benefit and use out of this phone and email alerts would be great (I phoned my carrier's tech support and they said the E71 has NO alerts for any mails so that was clearly incorrect)

Are you using the built-in email client?
If you are, double check the "New Email Alerts" option. This is under <Settings> -> <E-mail> -> <choose mailbox> -> <User Settings> -> <New Email Alerts>

Setting google calendar alert for 1 week on ipad

Is there any way to set alerts on Google Calendar for more than 2 days? On a Mac you can specify minutes, hours, days and weeks but on the iPad the longest alert setting available is days....

In the native Calendar app, no. At least not at the moment. Don't know if that will change in iOS 7, but it is possible. In the meantime, you might investigate some third party calendar apps. I'm using Calendars+, which does give you more flexibility on setting alert times spans. Integrates well with icloud and Google calendars.

Can I set individual alerts (tones) for each calendar events/ reminders

Can I set individual alerts (tones) for each calendar events/ reminders

Thanks On my phone, these are the options under Menu>Settings & Tools>Sound Settings>Alert Sounds: 1. TXT Message 2. Multimedia Message 3. Voicemail 4. Emergency Tone 5. Missed Call . And under Service Alerts: 1. ERI 2. Minute Beep 3. Call Connect 4. Charge Complete 5. Software Update. So nothing there for the calendar. And options from the calendar that I can see are Add (here you can change the tone for one event or recurring event, but not set a default tone for the event alarm), View (gives you the options of viewing an existing event in more detail, adding a new one, and the same choices from the Options list on the first screen where you are viewing the entire month), and Options (1. lets you view weekly/monthly, 2. Go To Today 3. Go To Date 4. Search 5. Erase All 6. Erase All Old 7. Send. So as far as I can see, there's no way to do it. I have been through all the Settings and Tools menus... and the Events menu. But...I have just discovered that if I delete ALL my alarms and change the Ringtone for the first alarm I set, that ringtone becomes the default ringtone. I will try deleting ALL my events and starting fresh with a new tone and see if that works!

How do I set up an email Alert for a Calendar event?

Calendar: Setting an alert for more than "2 days before"?

I'm sure there is a way to set an alert for more than "2 days before" when creating a new event. Every PDA out there allows infinite options in this regard, yet I can't do this on the iphone?
How can set my iPhone calendar alerts for "7 days before" or something to this effect? Can I change the defaults? What can I do?

You can set the reminder in your computer, instead of on the iphone as the iphone's longest option is two days.
From the manual:
"Alert time—from five minutes to two days before the event "

Is there a way to set an alert for every event in a single calendar?

Hi all,
Is there a way to globally set an event in just one of the calendars showing in iCal?
For example, I have a "Birthday" Calendar with a bunch of birthday events. I want to set the alert for all of them to, say, noon, without having to edit each and every one.
Thanks!
Greg

To generally add an alarm to all events in a specific calendar you would need to program an Automator Workflow that passes all events of the calendar to an Applescript that adds the alarm.
For your birthdays problem is a predefined solution iCal: If you enter the Birthdays on the cards in your Address Book, and enable the "Show Birthdays Calendar Flag", then you will receive automatic email notifications of upcoming birthdays.

ITunes 11.1.4 (62) can't find the info button to set up sync for contacts, calendars, etc.

I'm running iTunes 11.1.4 (62) and can't find the info button to set up sync for contacts, calendars, etc.

That option has been removed with Mavericks. Syncing for calendars and contacts etc can only be done through iCloud:

Can you sync an iCloud calendar to a Google calendar?

Hi all. I have searched the forum for an answer to my question but haven't found one. Lots of variations though!
I have an iCloud calendar that I set up on my MacBook. I can access the calendar on my iPad, iPhone etc and all is good. I have shared this calendar with some friends who also use iOS devices. They can access the calendar via there iOS devices and all is working well.
What I need to do is share the calendar with friends/colleagues who are not Apple users. I don't want these individual to have edits rights, I only want them to view only. From going through the forum it seems that with previous verisons of OS X you used to be able to publish a calendar to a webpage. This would be ideal for me!! However it seems that with current version of OS X you cant do this, or not with iCloud calendars anyway? Maybe I am wrong here?
Anyway, I thought that a workaround could be that I could sync the calendar with a Google calendar and then publish the Google calendar online and just share the URL with my friends/colleagues who need to see the information. However I don't know if this is possible.
If you are reading and know a simpler way of of achieving this then I would love to hear from you. Basically I have an iCloud calendar that I want to make accessible to lots of people, ideally through a webpage or URL.
Thanks in advance.

How can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

how can i import my calendar events from google calendar to ical?

To set up CalDAV support for Google Calendar in Apple's iCal, follow these steps:
Open Apple iCal, go to Preferences and then the Accounts tab.
Click on the + button to add an account.
In the box that pops up, enter a description for the account and your Google Account username and password.
Under Server Options, add the following URL:
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user//www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user
Replace '[email protected]' with the email address that you use to log in to Calendar. Make sure to include the '@domain.com' portion (which is @gmail.com for Gmail users) in this section.
DO NOT substitute your username for 'user' at the end of the URL.
Leave the Use Kerberos v5 for authentication option unchecked.
Click Add.
Under the Delegation tab, select the calendars you'd like to add to iCal by checking the boxes next to them. You may need to hit refresh to get the latest list of calendars.
Add your email address to your Address Book card by selecting Add Email. You'll be prompted to add your email address only if your address is not already in your Address Book.
You won't be able to invite or email guests to Google Calendar events within iCal if your address is not in your Address Book.
Your Google Calendar will now appear in iCal's list of calendars, and changes you make to your Google Calendar in iCal will be reflected when you sign in to Google Calendar.
Event information will automatically refresh every five minutes. You can change this interval by opening the iCal > Preferences > Accounts menu and selecting a new refresh interval under the 'Refresh calendars' drop-down. Keep in mind you can also force a refresh by selecting a calendar and pressing the Apple and R keys at the same time.
Calendars that are checked but disabled have already been added to iCal - you can remove them from within iCal.
