Can you set the type of alert in iCal on the iPad?

I have an iPad (1st generation) with the latest iOS5. I love the new iOS and especially the way that iCloud makes things more seamless between my devices. I do have an issue with iCal, however. When I set an event in iCal in OSX, I can set the alert to be a message, message with sound, email, etc. By default, if I set an event in iCal on my iPad the alert is a message. I can find no way to change this. If there is a way, please tell me.
Because of this, I never use iCal on iPad to set alerts because I like to use message with sound. This greatly reduces the functionality of iCal on iPad because, for me, it can only be used as a calendar event viewer. Any help would be appreciated. Note: I have contacted apple feedback about this issue.
In a related, but less important issue, I find that the settings for the timing of the alert are very limited in iCal on iPad. On iCal in OSX one can set the alert time for either the time of the event, or pretty much any amount of time prior to the event. On the iPad, iCal will only let you set it to the day of the event, 1 or 2 days before, or 1 week before the event. A limitation, but not crippling. However, if anyone knows how to set the timing of the event on iPad's iCal with more specificity I would really like to know.
Thanks!

Under Settings, Sounds, you can set an alert sound for calendar events.
For timed events, you can set the alert for a range of times from 5 minutes before upwards (e.g.15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour). For all-day events, the range is as you described.
You can set the alert for each event as you create it (or edit it later)
You can set default alerts for all-day event,s timed events, and birthdays (i.e. different defaults for each type) in Settings, Mail, Contacts and Calendar, default Alerts.
Does that help?

  • Can you set the Duration of a Transition to instant? Or Remove a previous?

    Can you set the duration of a Transition to instant? (Rotate and Translate).
    Or if not, remove a previous transition done? (Reset the transitioned object back to its original). Ihave tried setting Duration.millus(.000001), but I can still see it translate/rotate. if I set it to zero, it doesn't do anything at all.
    Goal:
    I have a Connect4 type grid that Flips. It rotates upside down 180degrees, the pieces 'fall' down. Then I ACTUALLY flip the game board (not just effects) using a matrix calculation. But since my grid is upside down, my pieces appear upside down.
    So here is the method I was thinking:
    -Flip the board upside down
    -Translate the pieces down (gravity)
    -Actually flip the game board's internals and positions.
    -Undo the previous rotate/translate so the user thinks the 'animation' actually flipped the board.

    You cannot create an instant Transition. An Animation with a duration of 0ms is considered invalid and does not do anything when play() is called.
    Why do you have to use Transitions to set the values? They just modify Node properties over time, if you want to change the properties instantly, you can just access them directly. TranslateTransition modifies translateX, translateY, and translateZ, RotateTransition modifies rotate and rotationAxis.

  • How can you set the max row for a 'open cursor' in a stored proc?

    I would like to know how can you set the maximum amount of row returned in a resultset coming from a stored proc?
    You can do it via JDBC with cStatement.setMaxRows(10); but it works only for select that you do via JDBC...
    I would like the same functionality using open cursor inside a stored proc...
    Thanks...

    is "where ROWNUM <= 10" the equivalent of "cStatement.setMaxRows(10);" because the ROWNUM as problem with the ORDER BY clause and the setMaxRows() as no problem...

  • Can you set the i pod to play albums one after the other as it seems to stop once its played the one album!! :-(

    can you set the i pod to play albums one after the other as it seems to stop once its played the one album!! :-( thanks

    Unfortunately that is the way the interface is designed. If you select an album from the albums menu, then it plays an album, optionally shuffled and/or repeated. If you select from the artists menu then you should be able to shuffle the albums or songs by that artist or have them played in sequence, again with options to repeat. You can also cue up a number of songs or albums with the On-the-Go playlist feature.

  • Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?

    Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?  Doesn't appear to be a property.  I don't see a programmatic method.  I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person
    doesn't edit the field?  No event would be fired.

    Hi Jim,
    >>Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?
    I am afraid you could not. In Web applications, the tab order is set automatically and cannot be changed.
    (From
    https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Set-the-tab-order-for-controls-3d7f749c-5a53-42b2-bb0e-2323fa044e2e)
    >> I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person doesn't edit the field?  No event would be fired.
    The goto method is a workaround, but it should be triggered by a specific event. What I can figure out is changing the order of the fields.
    If this is a feature you want to include in future versions of Access Web app, please submit a feedback as the picture below:

    Can I set the Ipad 2 to default to wifi?

    It is set that way by default, if it finds a trusted WiFi site it will connect with it.
    If it goes to sleep the WiFi connection will be cut. If 3G is on and a push notification or email is received it will be via 3G.

  • Can you set the print margins in Preview?

    Simple question: Is there a way to set the print margins when printing an image from Preview?
    Thanks,

    I can set margins in other programs (like Photoshop, Word, Excel, Firefox, Chrome...), but there does not seem to be a setting for margins when printing from Preview. I don't want to resize the image, just get it to print in a certain position on the paper (template form).
    In the case of Photoshop, you are placing an image on a canvas and can position the image to suit. Word and Excel have a Page Setup menu that lets you set the margin positions - which know since you have got the output you wanted. There is no Page Setup menu for most, if not all, Apple applications like Preview. Instead parts of the Page Setup menu have been added to the print dialog but margins is not one of them.

    Understood. Unfortunately you don't get that option in Preview. The image will be centred - both horizontal and vertical - based on the paper size and the printer you have selected in the print dialog. You could create a custom paper size with the margins you want to position the image and then use that custom paper in Preview. But your workaround of using Word gives you more control over the positioning of the image.

  • Can you set the default Filter under Admin tab in UCSM?

    Such a minor and trivial question but just curious. It defaults to 'Faults, Events, and Audit Log'. A majority of the time that's all you'll need after initial setup, but I was wondering if I could somehow set the filter to 'All' as the default view.
    Is this possible?

    You can't, Apple would have to do this.

  • Remote...How can you set the your amplifier to be the default volume?

    Does anyone know how to set your amp to be the default volume control without have to switch between devices to change the volume?
    Can you have 2 devices on the screen at the same time. Like cable box and the amp?
    i've had other sony remotes that would do it.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I think sony should keep working on improving universal remote app.
    here's little sugestion from me allow sort off split screen option on 1 side one remote and on another side another remote with seperate scrolling perhaps.
    or tiny area dedicated to just program and volume buttons that can switch while having main remote on having tiny volume remote in tiny area on screen from any remote you choose like amplifier.
    anyway maybe this is already possible anyway.
    using main remote app and mini remote app at same time.
    having tv remote as normal remote and small mini app remote having amp controls aka volume
    Just tested works fine can even hit both power buttons at same time will power on my tv and amp at same time no problem.

  • Can you set the color of a specific element in a JList?

    Is it possible to set the color of a single element in a JList without writing lines and lines of your own class? I know setForgroundColor exists, it just changes all element in a JList, so is there a simple way to tweak it? i am still a newbie, so re-writing swing, would be a bit of a problem for me. Any Suggestions? thanks.

    you write your own renderer, about 6-8 lines, setting the color determined by an
    if/else statement - note: you must set the color in both if and else
    search the forums for
    "implements ListCellRenderer"
    and you should find plenty of examples
    if you just want the selected element a different color, you can do this with
    UIManager.put("List.selectionBackground", new javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource(Color.YELLOW));
    but you must do this before you create the JList, and it will affect all JLists in your program.
