Custom alarm setting in iCal

Hello, is there any way to set a custom alarm reminder setting when creating an event in ical on the iPhone? At the moment there is only a list of pre-set times and days for reminders. Ical on my Mac offers custom setting why not on the iPhone?
Also, once a calendar has been assigned for an event, i cannot find a way to change this, other than delete the event and start again. Any ideas?
Thxs,
me

I have a similar question, before the latest upgrade to os OS 3.2.2 I used to be able to set a custom repeat in the Cal application. I have just gone to put an item into Cal that needs a custom setting but it's gone. Has anyone else noticed that the custom setting has gone in Cal. Any ideas where it's gone?

  • How do you set/change the default alarm TYPE in iCal?

    I like to think I'm a power user, but this one I just can't figure out.  The question/problem is: How do you sent the default alarm TYPE in iCal?  The problem is illustrated in the picture below in the blue circled area.
    Specifically, whenever I set a new event in iCal, it defaults to this window with the default alert being "Default (1 hour before)."  The one hour before is fine, but the problem is, WHAT is the default?  It seems to be just a sound, but that's not good enough to actually alert me of anything.
    The goal I'm trying to achieve with this post is to determine how to CHANGE the "default" new event alert FROM "Default (1 hour before)" TO one of two alerts that I actually find useful:  I want MY "default" new event alert to be either "email" to the primary address, OR, "Message with Sound". 
    Any ideas, folks?  Thanks.

    Understand.  I am in the edit mode for my contact.  I see all the contact info.  There is no right click or other means to change the DEFAULT address that autofill uses (it also is first to appear if I type my name in an e-mail). For instance for a group e-mail you can change the default addresses of each contact by control-clicking on the group in Address Book. I can't seem to make the default change in my v-card.

  • I have several recuring alarms set up on my calendar for each day of the week. In the past few weeks, an alarm will occasionaly notify me roughly 15 minutes to an hour and a half late. These daily alarms are identical and repeat every day.

    I have several recuring alarms set up on iCal for each day of the week. In the past few weeks, an alarm will occasionaly notify me roughly 15 minutes to an hour and a half late. These daily alarms are identical and repeat every day and there seems to be no apparent pattern to why or when an alarm happens after the event is past.

    I assume you meant iCal rather than iTunes? Yes, iCal the time zone is correct. The delayed alarms only happen sporadically. Since I posted this message, the problem stopped happening every day at the same time, but it still happens occasionally with no rhyme or reason as to when. It's gotten so that I can't depend on my iCal alarms anymore.

  • Where is the small ALARM 'icon' in iCal day view Events??

    I am almost certain that with iCal 2 (Tiger) when I set an alarm (and I set a lot of alarms)- in the Day view when I looked at the event I could see a small alarm 'icon' or picture or visual indicator (whatever one would call it) that that event indeed had an alarm set.
    But for iCal 3.0.6 with Leopard 10.5.6 (which I installed last week) - the events show no indication of whether there is an alarm set or not.
    How to get this nice little feature back?
    ALSO: Is there a way to do a search to find just events which have an alarm set (i.e. find all events which have alarms)?
    Thanks,

    I too miss the alarm icon feature, as it is now cumbersome to verify whether an event has an alarm or not.

  • No email recipient selection when sending an alarm notification in iCal

    Hi! I apologize if this question has been previously asked within this forum but a user here in the office is experiencing a particular problem with email alarm notifications in iCal 3.0.8.
    This particular user is using version 3.0.8 of iCal and has imported several different calendars from past users in the office. I do know we've had some trouble with different versions of iCal not working together, which might be part of this problem, but here's what we're experiencing:
    Although this user has a vast address book, there is only one lone email recipient that pops up under the "email" list when editing an event - it's my particular email address, as I'm in everyone's address book as the IT contact and usually key in my information as the contact whenever I'm installing OS X on a particular machine.
    We have tried manipulating entries in all of the previously defined calendar(s) in addition to setting up a brand new calendar file. Regardless, this single email address is the only one that's available for selection.
    I have further tried deleting the .plist file associated with iCal and have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application without any luck.
    Before I do a clean install of the OS on this machine, does anyone have any advice? Many thanks!

    Greetings,
    Sounds more like an addressbook issue to me.

  • Can you make a custom alarm clock tones

    is it possible to make a custom alarm tone such as a voice recording?

    You would need to do so on a computer and then import the ring tone to the device via iTunes.
    alternately, you can purchase tones from the iTunes store directly from the app, or set it to use any song you have in the Music app..

  • Why are my alarms for my ical not going off

    I have alarms set to go off for several ical events.  I have tried many files to be the alarm form my itunes, but im not sure why they are not working, and my daily alarm clock is not going off.  I have tried several different times also

    I just spoke to a representitive from Apple and after researching the issue with a supervisor, I learned that once you activate iTunes Match, you lose the ability to have your songs go into a "Purchased" playlist/folder automatically on your phone. They still go to a "Purchased" folder on your computer, however on the phone, they go into the general library after you buy them. You have to individually search for the songs afterwards and add them to a playlist of your choice for easy access later. The rep was uncertain if this was something that would be fixed in the future. I hope they do fix it.

  • When will email alarms work in iCal 3.0 and Leopard?

    I have been trying to follow the Apple discussions of some of the problems in iCal 3.0 under Leopard. Fortunately, I haven't experienced some of them. The one that is bothering me is the inability to send email alarms. This is a feature I used a lot in Tiger and want to use again. My iBook and iMac are syncing pretty well, and my calendars are, too. However, if I create a new iCal event on either computer and then try to set an email alarm, I get this response: "You must add your own card and email address in Address Book in order to be able to use mail alarms" with a link to open Address Book. When I open Address Book, there is no conceivable way to follow the above instruction. Either I am missing something very simple, or Apple has not fixed this bug in iCal 3.0 and Leopard, despite having stated in a knowledge base document on November 15, 2007, (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306907) that as a result of the 10.5.1 update "iCal alarms are now more reliably delivered via email." Has anyone figured a go-around for this problem?

    Well, here I am answering my own question. I went into Address Book preferences on my iBook, which was upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, and found that my own card in Address Book was no longer indicated as being "me". I checked the box to indicate that, and then--voilà!--my email alarms worked in iCal. I guess I should have realized that the upgrade to Leopard didn't necessarily create all the preferences that had previously existed in Tiger. Once I check the iMac, which came with Leopard, to ascertain that this fix works on the iMac, too, I will mark this question as answered.

  • Error message: The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, qu

    Hello all,
    I can't open a PP project without this error message appearing:
    "The preset used by one or more sequences in this project requires third-party components that could not be located. These sequences will be modified to use a custom sequence setting instead. To continue editing using the original preset, quit the application without saving the project, reinstall any third-party components that are required and reopen the project".
    What I had been doing before this occurred was editing a PP project using ProRes sequences and multi-camera editing. Multi-camera was not working very well and after a few attempts to fix that I gave up and finished the job cutting 3 layers of video instead. AME refused to render the three finished sequences of over 1hr duration so rendered final videos from the PP sequences.
    I tried deleting plists for AME, PP and QT, repairing disc permissions and rebooting but there was no improvement.
    Client is satisfied for now but will want to come back to this job at a later date so decided to uninstall and re-install AME and PP in the hope both would be ready to work properly when needed again. AME works fine in conjunction with a different PP project but now I can't open the PP project in question without the above error message appearing.
    Having searched the net it would seem that the problem may be caused by ProRes but I haven't been able to find a definitive solution for the problem. Does anyone know either:
    1. How to fix this?
    2. If I chose the "modified using a custom sequence setting", can I be sure that my sequences will look the same even if they don't use ProRes? The final deliverable format will be mp4 so as long as the overall look doesn't change then I can  afford a change in the edit codec. It's just that with three sequences over an hour long, I don't want days of work to be ruined.
    Other older PP projects of mine open and work fine.

    Media Encoder CC 8.2.0.54

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Duncan.

    Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
    Open the PP project.
    Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
    Set up a new PP project.
    Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
    This will get you back up an running.
    Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
    You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
    You will keep cut points, crop fx.
    Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

  • Alarm clock not working in iOS 7 with multiple alarms set.

    I usually have two alarms set on my phone, both using the stock clock app.  One about an hour before I need to get up (so I can turn the heater on and crawl back under the covers), the other for the time I am supposed to get up.  The second alarm works just fine, but the fist one has not gone off for several days.  They are not recurring alarms because I need to change the time each day due to my work schedule.
    The phone is *usually* in a speaker dock which is plugged into the wall, and works just fine for the purpose of playing my second alarm or any of my music.  When not in the dock, it is still plugged in to the charger but uses the built in speakers.
    Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know of a possible fix?

  • How to set up ical to send email AND message alerts by default

  • CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    Hi Kglad.
    I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
    Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
    here is the new tutorial for CC -  my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

  • Search result category with a custom layout set?

    Greetings,
    I've created a nice little search IVIEW with a custom search options set that will display the document category (taxonomy) in the search result (if the resulting document is categorized, of course.)  Works great.  However there is one little problem.  The categories in the search results are hyperlinked and when you select one, you get a new window with the taxonomy rendered in the default layout set (the ConsumerExplorer I think.)  Not good.  I need this displayed in a custom layout set.
    Any ideas how to make this hyperlink use a custom layout set without changing the default?
    Regards,
    Paul Federighi

    Hi Paul,
    As per my knowledge of the basic s of layout sets and iviews.
    You want to change the layout set of the iview(window) which opens when u click the hyperlink.
    You should do this:
    1)Make a new layout set by customizing the default one.
    2)If the iview opening is a standard iview then go to its properties and change the Layout set value to ur new layout.
    Please revert in case of issues.
    I hope it helps.
