Custom Alert Times

Is there a way to set custom alert times on the iPad?
I like to enter my bills and due dates on the calendar, with an alert going off 1 week before, but i don't want that alert to go off at 12am.
I was thinking to set the alerts sounds to none; which would help me with the iPad but I also have this calendar syncing to the iphone via the cloud. I cannot turn off alert sounds on the iphone and I see no way of turning alerts off for a specific calendar.
Any thoughts?

You can create an event on Calendar with up to two alerts. When you create the event and configure the alert you may choose the time at which you want it to sound.

Change Calendar default custom alert preference to email with sound?

Most annoying aspect of the new Apple Calendar is that the preference is pre-set for 2 email alerts at the same time before each event. It's time-consuming to re-set a custom alert time, eliminate the 2nd alert and set my preferred custom alert method every time I add an event.
I want to re-set my default preference for "email with sound" and have one alert at the "time of the event" unless I choose to add additional alerts.
Is this possible?
Note: I tried changing my Alert preference to "at time of the event" in Calendar Preferences, restarted and the default still shows up as alerting me twice, both 30 minutes before even though it does show as "at tme of the event" in Preferences.

Hey fberube,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
This feature is currently not available in BlackBerry 10, my apologies but I do not know if or when this feature will be back.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Calendar alert times in "standard time"

So we (mostly) are now on Standard Time. I use Calendar (all day) alerts as a sort of to-do list, the notifications being very handy for this (thank you Apple for fixing some Mavericks calendar weirdness in Yosemite - my other support question regarding Calendar in Mavericks appears to be fixed in Yosemite).
However, when I set an alert for a particular time, it indicates that the alert will be one hour later. To be clear, when I look at the "custom" alert time, it is what I set it for - but when I look at the alert time for the event in the event information, it is one hour later. BUT it appears to "notify" at the time I set it to.
So for example, if in the "alert" setting for the event, if I select "custom" and enter a time - that is the time that the notification occurs. BUT the "alert" line indicates it will occur for a time one hour later. WTHeck?
Been checking preferences in Calendar and iCloud. Can't seem to fix it. Or am I just misinterpreting it?
Hope this question makes sense ...

Uh, this may fall into the Emily Litella Category.
The all-day events I refer to above were pulled forward across the Standard Time change (in other words, they were created under Daylight Savings Time). Calendar (or me) appeared to be confused by this today (the first day of Standard Time).
I just pulled them forward again (in other words from one Standard Time day to another) and now Calendar is treating them as it should.
So hopefully, that will be true tomorrow. "Never mind."

Change default alert time in Calendar

Is there a way to change the default alert time in Calendar to something different than 9:00 AM? I realize I can do it directly in the calendar entry itself, but I want the default to be a different time and not have to correct it every time I create an entry.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Michael, starting with Mavericks, the Preferences in Calendar do not allow you to change the default time from 9:00 AM to any other time. The only way to modify the alert time is on an entry-by-entry basis using "Custom...". I want the default time to be something other than 9:00 AM so I don't have to change it in every entry.

Oracle EBS(11i and r12) does not provide you any web services.
Most of the code is in Pl/sql or C.
The next version of applications Fusion apps would have readily available web services which can be used to integrate with 3rd party solutions.
For now, you will either have to write your own Webservices(wrapper on top of Pl/sql APIs) or somehow connect to the EBS database.
There would be seeded pl/sql APIs/functions for most of the absences stuff.

My custom alerts stopped working.

For some time now without issue I have been using rintones and text tones I created with garage band. The last week or so, they stopped working. The odd time one will work. Under settings for my contacts, nothing has changed. I even tried to reset the custom alerts to the contacts and also did a reset (not sure if I did hard or soft reset [home and power button]. If you have any advice, please help.
I am using iphone 4s with software 7.0.4

There is only one kind of reset on an iPhone. It's just called a "reset" and you do it by pressing and holding the Home and power buttons until the silver apple appears.
I'd try resyncing the tones from iTunes.

Custom Alert is throwing an error in APPS.GMS_INSTALL

1. We have created a custom alert and using Alert Manager we defined this new alert in applications.
2. In order to test this alert we navigated to Request -> Check and gave the Application Name, Alert Name and Start Date and submitted a new request.
3. To view this new alert, we have navigated to Request -> View.
4. The status shows Completed Normal, but when we click on view output, it is throwing the following error:
FRM-40735: WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06502.
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
ORA-06512: at "APPS.GMS_INSTALL", line 31
Did anyone came across this error message? Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

So, you are saying that the method runs successfully in SWO1 but fails when run inside the workflow? If that is the case, then, something is missing in the binding. Make sure your binding is correctly done. There are several levels of bindings:
Method <-> Standard Task, and Standard Task <-> Workflow Template. Make sure the binding in both places is correct. Clicking the check button often times provides hints at what could be wrong. Keep special attention to passing header lines to internal tables and vice versa.
If you are sure the binding is correct, then, set a break point in the method. There are many ways you can do that. First, you can change the standard task to "foreground" instead of "background" and assign yourself as the agent. The task will then show up in your inbox. Executing it will take you to the break point. The second trick is to write an infinite loop in the method as follows:
DATA:
l_char1 VALUE '1',
l_char2.
WHILE l_char1 = '1'.
l_char2 = 'a'.
ENDWHILE.
What will happen is that when the task is executed in background, it will get stuck in this loop. Go to transaction SM50 to find the stuck process. Select that line then select menu option: Program/Session --> Program --> Debugging. This will open the debugger for you. In the debugger change the value of l_char1 to anything other than 1 and you'll exit the loop and be able to debug the rest of the code. If you forget to change the value and click F8, just go to SM50 again.

Google CalDAV and Default Alert Time

I was successfully able to set up one of my Google calendars on my iPhone 3G running 3.0 using CalDAV, but I notice that regardless of what the alert setting is on Google, the iPhone defaults to a 10 minutes before alert setting. I gathered that alert settings aren't properly supported by CalDAV sync, but wondered if there was any way to set the iPhone to default to "no alert" in these instances? I use the calendars a lot, and the alerts are going off constantly.
Thanks!

Custom ALERT TONE for iphone need HELP please.

I understand how to create a custom TONE as an M4R file and import into itunes into the TONES library.
When i sync my TONES to my iPhone, it lists as a RING tone.
My custom ring tones, which are approximately 10 sec long work just fine when set as my RING tone for incoming calls.
HOWEVER ....
What i am DESPERATELY trying to do is create a custom ALERT tone and have it LIST as an ALERT tone in my phone and NOT a ring tone. Seems custom tones do not work for sms alerts.
I searched EVERYWHERE and can not seem to find an answer. I realize apple wants us all to BUY alert tones, but i should be able to create my own too no?
I created some custom alert tones, approximately 1 sec long each. Converted them to M4R files and sync'd them to my phone.
In my phone they appear under the RING TONES list and not ALERT TONES.
Maybe this dosent matter, however, when i try to set my TEXT ALERT SOUND to one of my custom ALERT tones, they do NOT work. My text messages come in without playing the sound.
Can ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME figure out how to properly create a TONE as an ALERT TONE for my iphone?
HUGE THANKS to ANYONE that can help.

I've never been able to assign custom tones under alerts. It doesn't matter though as you can assign ringtones as alerts as of iOS 5 I believe. I had a similar issue with silent alerts, sometimes they would play, other times theywouldn't, but they would always play when selecting them under settings. Resetting all settings (not content) has so far fixed that issue for me. Try resetting your settings after you've synced your tones.

Is it possible to change the defult alert time on the calendar setting to any other time but 9am ? thanks Edd

is it possible to change the defult alert time on the calender setting to anyother time but 9am ? thanks Edd

There is no default time for custom events. You can set the time for anything that you like when you create the event. The settings for Birthdays and All Day Events only give you the choices that you see in this screenshot. So to answer your question, no you cannot change from 9:00 AM for these events unless you choose None and select your own time.
If you want to change the default time to None the path is Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Calendars>Default Alert Times>Birthdays or All Day Events.

Reminders app alert time keeps disappearing on iPhone 4s

I use my phone's Reminders app frequently and have started having problems with the "Remind me on a day" option. Today I noticed that whenever I set a time and date for a reminder alert, it disappears after a few moments, leaving just the text I entered but no alert time (ie, a reminder to start dinner at 5:00pm on Tuesday will show up properly on the reminders home screen for a few seconds, and then the alert time will disappear, leaving just "Start Dinner"). Since the alert times keep disappearing, none of my reminders actually work at the moment. I also have weekly reminders that I've used for over a year but starting today they now show up as "(null), weekly" underneath the original reminder text.
I exited the app, restarted my phone and then did a hard reset, but nothing has changed the way the app is behaving. Creating a reminder through Siri just gives me the same problem. I haven't done anything out of the ordinary with my phone so I'm not sure why it's not working properly. Thanks for any help you can give!

Apple Reminders App (default iPhone app)

What part are you talking about setting up? The 2-step verification I mentioned for that email or the reminder list? The 2-step verification you need to set up before anything. It's just another way of protecting yourself from idiots. You'd get a code from your phone that helps you sign in on PC. But this stupid "Reminder" stuff is killing me. I had to do a total wipe of my phone and make it like a brand new phone again with nothing on it. And even after all that when I went to test a new reminder I'd put in...it did the same thing just shut itself off. Didn't say "null" tho just kept shutting itself off. I even made a new list not tied to my yahoo...did the same thing. So after all that I just went back in and restored my phone to the way I originally had it. I figured it wasn't anything on my phone and it had to be something with Apple itself and I wasn't going to spend hours just trying to remember what I had on here so that's why I just restored to the backup I had prior all this. I did call the guy I'm working with over at Apple and left a message that it didn't work again and I put phone back the way I had it. But I'm gonna try all this up on my PC to see if this works. Ugh this is just taking up my time and I've not yet heard back from the yahoo customer service guy I sent the pics too showing him these issues...typical. I just feel that with so many having this issue that they need to report it to Apple so they can fix it or at least look into it. They won't do much just because I say there's so many others. I think I'm gonna try to copy that list from my yahoo and sync it with iCloud and see if that works and if it does then it was yahoo all along. Besides when I make that list with iCloud it won't be lost or anything ya know. Just seems like I'm having too many problems with yahoo stuff. I do have a gmail but don't use it like yahoo because they spy on you and share things etc. but outlook is synced to Apple so might be worth a shot to start using them. I do t know anymore I'm at a lost

I need a calendar with multiple alert times for events; Advice please?

1. I need to be able to set multiple alert times (e.g. 24 hours before, and 2 hours before)
2. I need a good clear Month view, with text that can be enlarged (I am disabled)
3. It needs to sync with standard iCloud calendar data (I use Week Calendar on my iPhone and iPad - great!)
4. I do not want BusyCal, thanks (the developer point-blank refuses to fix the Alarm window to remember it's width, and refuses point-blank to wrap the alarm title text onto two line when it is long - although they do wrap text in the calendar itself, just not in the alarm window, go figure)

Hey I have same problem. No PCMCIA No PCIe No USB converter are usefull

Calendar app in iOS can't set complex recurring events or arbitrary alert time.

Dear Administrator,
I find the Calendar app in iOS very limiting. It should not be difficult for Apple to include features that allows arbitrary alert time (45min before the event) or complex recurring events (repeat every 4 months on the first Thursday of the month). Do I miss something or Apple did not include these features in the system software. It is really inconvenient. Please help.
Sincerely yours,
Zigang Pan

The built-in calendar app does not support complex recurrances. If you want to do that, you'll need to use a different calendar app, such as Fantistical 2 or Week Calendar.

Custom Alert Email Templates Issue - List Alerts emails not using customized XML alert template

I have recently customized the XML alerts template (AlertTemplates.xml) for our site collection in SharePoint 2010 to exclude specific fields in the email when users who have subscribed to a list using the "Alert Me" feature. I
have renamed the custom alerts XML file and loaded the custom template in the following directory (%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML) and
restarted IIS. Once users subscribe to the alerts using the list using the "alert me" function they received the customized email as intended.
We needed to auto-subscribe users to the email alerts so what I did was used a powershell script to add users to the alert subscriptions using the script shown in below:
Import-Csv D:\Temp\filename.csv | ForEach-Object{
$webUrl=$_.WebUrl
$listTitle=$_.List
$alertTitle=$_.AlertTitle
$subscribedUser=$_.SubscribedUser
$alertType=$_.AlertType
$deliveryChannel=$_.DeliveryChannel
$eventType=$_.EventType
$frequency=$_.Frequency
$oldAlertID=$_.ID
$web=Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$testAlert = $web.Alerts | WHERE { $_.ID -eq $oldAlertID }
IF ($testAlert) {
$web.Alerts.Delete([GUID]$oldAlertID)
Write-Host Old alert $oldAlertID deleted. -Foregroundcolor Cyan
$list=$web.Lists.TryGetList($listTitle)
$user = $web.EnsureUser($subscribedUser)
$newAlert = $user.Alerts.Add()
$newAlert.Title = $alertTitle
$newAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::$alertType
$newAlert.List = $list
$newAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::$deliveryChannel
$newAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::$eventType
$newAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::$frequency
if($frequency -ne "Immediate"){
$AlertTime=$_.AlertTime
$newAlert.AlertTime=$AlertTime
$newAlert.Update()
Write-Host Created $newAlert.Title for $subscribedUser . -Foregroundcolor Cyan
} ELSE {
Write-Host Alert $alertTitle for $subscribedUser already done. Moving on. -Foregroundcolor Magenta
When I ran the script and added the users and restarted the service, all users who were auto-subscribed via this method would get the email without the customizations that were done in the custom template. All users who manually subscribed to the list
using the "Alert Me" function would get the customized email.
Does anyone know why users who manually subscribe would get the custom email alert and why users who were auto-subscribed using the powershell script do not get the custom email alert?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that users who were auto-subscribed using the PowerShell script do not get the custom email alert.
For your issue, it can be caused by the auto-subscribed alert email which is generated by PowerShell script is using OOTB alert template. You can add the following script into your script for setting
the alerts’ alert email template:
$contentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentService
$AlertsTemplateCollection =new-object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertTemplateCollection($contentService)
$newAlert.AlertTemplate = $AlertsTemplateCollection["YOUR_UNIQUE_TEMPLATE_NAME_VALUE"]

How do I create a Calendar custom repeat or custom alert other than the choices given?

I would like to create a custom repeat for my calendar such as every 6 weeks or, every other month or whatever choice - - the only choices are "Every Day, Every week, every 2 weeks, every month, every year"? I would also like to create a custom alert for 2 weeks before or 10 days, etc and there is no "custom" option???

Whenever you find out let me know. I wanted to assign a text tone to someone and now in iOS 7 i can't. Or I haven't figured this out yet.
