Continuing alerts for iCal Events after canceling

Hello everyone,
I suspect what I'm about to describe is a bug, but hopefully I'm wrong and there is a setting for this. For any iCal Events I have, which are typically listed as all day events, I get continual reminder notifications even after CANCELLING. Anyone seeing this? Is there a way to stop it or do you think this is a bug.
FYI, I do have calendar turned on for iCloud, but not reminders. This happens on both my Macbook Pro and my iMac.

OK...I've found the culprit and an easy workaround. First, Desktop Manager for Mac is the problem. If you set any event alert reminders in iCal to "Message and Sound" you'll get both the message and the sound on your Mac, but Desktop Manager for Mac mangles this somehow when the event is synched to the BB. The event makes it over, but when the event is selected on the BB and opened, the alert is set to "None".
To fix this, simply change all event alert reminders in iCal to "Message" (without the sound) and re-sync using Desktop Manager now the events on your BB have the same alert parameters as in iCal and their alerts now popup when scheduled and they have an audible sound.
Come on, RIM...Mac users deserve better than this. It took you 12 years to get us a real (well almost real) Desktop Manager, so now give it the same features as you provide in the Windows Desktop Manager. But since I know nothing in this forum ever makes it to RIM...we'll have to hope they figure this out on their own.

How do you get alerts for expired events after iCal starts?

Hello,
If this has been covered please point me to the right direction because I couldn't find it.
When I get into work I wan't to be alerted to any events that have happened between me shutting off my computer the night before and starting up my computer for that day. Currently, if I start iCal after the time the alarm is suppose to go off I will never see that event. Is there an option to show these past events when iCal starts?

I get no menu that comes up when choosing import from device, only a finder level window allowing me to choose where I want to import files from. I did have to unmount, unplug and reinsert the CF card to get the "Import from Mass Storage Device" dialog that is what comes up when a card is inserted after Lightroom is already running and visible.
The problem I am having is that 'Import from Device' is grayed out when the card is already inserted before I start Lightroom. That is why I could not choose it. Otherwise, if I go about it normally, to insert the card after Lightroom is running, the choice for "Import from Device" is not grayed out, but it doesn't matter then really because that menu comes up automatically after I insert the card.

IOS 7 Calendar alerting for past events

Has anyone else experienced this ...
At 9:30 this morning (03-Oct) I got an alert for an event from last week (26-Sep).
Then at 10:00 I got an alert for another event from last week (26-Sep).
Upon examining the events, I saw the alerts set as:
9:30 event – alert 1 = one week before
10:00 event – alert 1 = 1 day before, alert 2 = 1 week before
After upgrading to iOS7 I set the default calendar alert to "1 week before" – that might explain why the second event's alert 2 is set earlier than alert 1.
But it doesn't explain the "you were supposed to be doing this last week" alert popping up.
Any thoughts (other than some date arithmetic gone awry)?

iPilot1 - after I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 I got an even bigger surprise - the default alert time for any new event I created was "7 days after". I kid you not. At the top of the list of options, before "None".
However I just went back to the Calendar settings to check the default alert time, and nothing was ticked.
I chose "1 week before", and Hey Presto, new events default to "1 week before".
Of course, I won't know this has worked for sure until I get an alert.

Have problem setting Email alerts for Calendar events. Warning message says I need to set up a card in Contacts with my email. I do but it doesn't recognize it. How do I indicate the email I want alerts sent to?

The system of setting up email alerts for Calendar events worked fine in Snow Leopard but since I upgraded to Mt. Lion Calendar won't let me set email alerts. When I try, I get an error message saying I need to set up a card in Contacts for my email. I have a card set up in Contacts for both of my email addresses but it doesn't recognize them. Perhaps the name I have on the card doesn't match a name that Calendar is looking for. Calendar doesn't seem to have a way in Preferences or elsewhere to indicate the email I want alerts sent to. Any ideas how I can get this system working again? Thanks for your help.

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
See if another contact is marked as this is my card.

Default time frame for ICAL events

Ever since I upgraded to Lion, the default time frame for ICal events has been set to "entire day". Is there any way to change this?

Hi,
If you add a time to the event description, like "meeting 11am tomorrow", it should create an event (with the title "meeting" on tomorrows date at 11am with a duration of 1 hour.

Alerts for recurring events in iCal no longer display on iPhone after iOS5 upgrade

That pretty much says it. I have a daily meeting in my iCal, with two alarms set, one for 15 minutes before and one for 5 minutes before. The alerts no longer display on my phone after the upgrade. (They appear on my Mac no problem.) Has anyone else seen this problem? I have notifications turned on for iCal , set to Alerts. Tried badges, tried turning notifications off then on, to no avail. It doesn't display for recurring events that were in my calendar before the upgrade and for those created after the upgrade. I don't seem to have a problem with regular i.e. non-recurring events. Doesn't seem to matte also if it is the default calendar or a different calendar either. (I tried Reminders and that worked fine, but I don't want to have type all of my recurring events in to iCal and then in to Reminders as well....)
Thanks very much

I'm having the same problem on my iMac (works on a different phone on my MBP). I restored the iphone and no dice. I'm also constantly getting a beach ball... Hope someone out there knows a workaround.

ICal adding alert for 35791394 minutes after events

Since I've upgraded to Mountain Lion, I'm now getting random Alerts set for 35791394 minutes after the event (between one to three alerts with the same number of minutes for each event). I'm syncing with iCloud to an iPhone 4S and iPad (3), both with most recent iOS. All calendars are set to default with None for Alerts (on all devices).

I've been following this - and have just been holding off contacting Apple, since it seems there's no fix yet from what some of you have gone through - But I've done a few tests tonight and can replicate the alert - here's what I found - maybe this can shed some light on the bug for some Apple tech:
Make event in Calendar - no alert
Open it on iPhone - shows alert at time of event
Edit it on iPhone - now in Calendar it shows Alert - Message 35791394 minutes after.
Edit on Calendar to set Alert to NONE,
iPhone still shows Alert at Time of Event
Edit iPhone to remove Alert to NONE
Calendar still shows NONE (as before)
Edit iPhone timing of event, still alert None
Calendar still shows NONE
---------NEXT-------
Make event in Calendar - no alert
iPhone shows Alert at Time of Event
Remove alert, set to None AND edit time of event on iPhone
Calendar still shows no alert.
-----So it seems to me that an event created first on Calendar with no alert - shows up on iPhone with Alert at Time of Event - then if you edit it on iPhone - it goes back to Calendar with the Alert -Message 35791394 minutes after.
But... if you FIRST remove the Alert on the iPhone before editing the time of event - it doesn't create an alert back in Calendar.

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.

Lost ical events after daylight savings

Just woke up and my ical is blank. I've tried looking at my icloud account and that is blank too. i have also turned off my phone and restarted it still all blank. Any suggestions on how to retrieve my ical events, current and past back?

Quit iCal.
Open ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist. Look for a line called "delete events". If it exists, set the value to "No" by clicking on it.
If the line does not exist, close the plist file and drag it to the desktop.
After either of the above steps, open iCal and create a test event older than 90 days and see if it keeps it.
Hope that helps

Can you set alerts specific for different calendars so when you create an event, the alert for the event is already set?

On google calendar if you had a calendar for work and one for school, you can set alerts for earch so when you add a class or work related event, the event is set with alerts for that calendar. Can you do that with iCal?

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.

Automatic alert for iCal entries

Is there a way to set an alert automatically for every event I make in iCal? I'd like every event to have a message alert 15 minutes before it is due. It is frustrating to do this by hand for every event. Thank you for your help.

There is a way. In Settings => Mail, Contacts, Calendar you can set the default alert time to 15 minutes prior. This will apply to any new event you make. I don't believe there is a way to batch change the alert time for events already set, hoowever.

How do I set up multiple alerts for one event?

So, I'm currently using MS Exchange to sync my google calendar with my iphone5, and almost everything's working pretty nicely, events would get pushed to my phone right away as I put it on my computer. But the thing is, my phone will only alert me for the earliest alert if I had multiple alerts set up for one event on google calendar. How can I fix it? Any advice would be appreciated!

I have a similar issue with a slight twist.
I have 'My Card' setup properly, however, I do have 5 email addresses that I use and these are listed on 'My Card'. When I select the option to add an email alert on a calendar event, the app is picking up two addresses from the set of 5 and makes me pick one.
I would like to select one of the other addresses to be the default for sending out the alerts. Is there a way to do that. If it is helpful, the app is picking up 2 of the 'Work' email addresses. I don't know if the home vs work designation would make a difference.
Note: I am looking for a solution to pick one a specific address from the contact card to send out the alert email. I am NOT looking to have a discussion as to why I have 5 addresses.
Thanks

Continuous alerts for on call service people

Hello,
Does anyone know of any app, feature, and/or similar, that would allow for a continuous alert to be set off on the iPhone for someone that was an on call service person?
For example, if an email was received (relating to a service emergency) it would set an alert (kind of like an alarm) every 5 minutes until it was dismissed. Another words, for issues where one needs to be woken up from a sleep and/or similar.
In case I am not describing it well/right, this is part of what is offered (and works very well) by http://www.webmessenger.com/products/ma.htm... but, from what can see, it is not available for the iPhone.
Anxiously awaiting any assistance/help.
Thank you!!!!!!

http://www.webmessenger.com/products/ma.htm
Perhaps the system could continue to pump emails or SMS to the iPhone until you replied to the message?

Alert for Purchase Requisitioner after saving the CJ20N Transaction

Hi Friends,
Thanks in Advance.
My requirement is like when the user save the Transaction CJ20N, a project is created with a PR Number ( Purchase Requisition Number) , so that he can view in ME53N ( Purchase Requisition Display ). This movement he needs a POP-UP / ALERT for the PR User, so that the PR user understands that a Project has been raised / saved with a PR Number.
Please tell me is there ant Exit / Enhancement / BADI or any Workflow or any Customizing
Regards:
Sridhar.J

Hi,
When you are creating a project just assign material for which a PR is needed from the project and keep the Purchasing requirement as immediately in that. In this case all the PR's will be generated automatically when the project is saved.
Then go to SWEL transaction code, check which all the events generated with respect to PR creation, take up that event and with help of a workflow consultant customize a task/ workflow with reference to that event, for sending an Business workplace message/ an email to the concerned person or group of person.
I hope this would help you.
