Delaying iCal Alarm doesn't work

Say you put something on the calendar for June 24th and set a '1 day before' alarm. The alarm pops up the day before as you would expect and you snooze it to 2 hours before the appointment. Well, the second alarm never pops up.
Has anyone else seen this?

iCal Alarm re-scheduling feature behave the same way on my Mac.
In fact, when you ask an alarm reminder at, say, 1 hour before the appointment, the alarm is re-scheduled, but 1 hour BEFORE the CURRENT TIME (in the past!!!!) instead of 1 hour before the appointment.

MY iCal alarms do NOT work...

MY iCal alarms do NOT work since January 2009! Not during Leopard and not now in Snow Leopard. I have tried desperately to get my sounds back and checked ALL preferences for iCal. Anyone else have this problem and WHAT can I do about it? What is the "fix" for this stupid glitch???? 911...

+*MY iCal "Update" to those who might experience the same i-s-s-u-e of no alarms popping up and no sound either.+*
I did go to my Apple Sore and traipsed up to the Genius Bar with my 24" iMac... AFTER I made a reservation online of course. I do have that great little AppleCare Protection card.
The good news is that Brad, my genius, at the Apple Store Genius Bar fixed my problem! My iCal now pops up my alarms which I "hear" clearly and on time! *Problem fixed in 5 minutes. WOWZER!* He also told me the iCal problem wasn't my fault, there were some files he needed to delete in my library and cache folders and that the problem seemed to be just a glitch that shouldn't happen again. He didn't know why the files where there... they just were. Thank you, Geniuses at my Apple Store in the Millenia Mall, Orlando, Florida.
Problem in iCal solved. *So this is my story and I'm sticking to it. ;-)*

IPod Classic alarm doesn't work

I've used the alarm successfully on my old iPod Classic 60GB, now on the new iPod Classic 160GB it doesn't work anymore (I tried every option I could think of (with & without headphones, while keeping it on/off, etc., even enabling the clicker sound which seems to be the solution on iPhones, even after a full restore etc., etc., etc.)… but there seems to be a solution because I found this message:
a certain user "jaz271", had a similar problem, then added "Sorted" but doesN'T TELL HOW… what the use of putting such messages if there is not even a single way to contact the author?
Please help me out on [email protected]
Thanks.
PS: Also bizarre: the function on the old iPod Classic (60GB) vanished since the latest update. SO no more alarm on Ipod Classic 60GB.

I had the same problem -- alarm doesn't work on iPod Classic 160 GB, meaning I can't use it to listen to music to put me to sleep since the headphones block out any external alarm. I assumed it was something I'd done wrong, but viewing this and an even earlier (2007) thread, it looks like an Apple bug that hasn't been fixed in five years. APPLE PLEASE HELP! This is not what we expect from you.

Dates to Ical 2 doesn't work?

I have Leopard. I was searching for a program to sync Anniversaries to my Ical from my address book and ran across Dates to Ical 2. I downloaded it but it doesn't work. It will only refresh my Ical (with updated anniversaries from my address book) if i manually go in and open the Dates to Ical 2 program and click deactivate then activate. Any help?

Hi Lea,
Go to http://www.nhoj.co.uk/tracker/ register and post it as a bug.

Iphone alarm doesn't work when the phone is charging but works fine when it is not plugged in, any reason for this?

Recently my alarm hasn't been going off on my phone when it is plugged into the charger. This is a problem as i have work most mornings and have been late. When it is not plugged in the alarm works. I know it would mae sense to charge it before i go to sleep, take it off the charger, set the alarm then wake up but was just wondering if there was any reason why I might be experiencing this issue?
Cheers

This is something peculiar, normally that doesn't work that way
when did this happen? if it just happened, then something probably went wrong with either the software or the hardware
do charge the proper way, and see if it happens again
or try completely draining the battery, and charge it to 100% and see if its gonna solve the issue with the alarm

Clock alarm doesn't work on IPhone 4

Hi guys, I find out that if I set clock alarm on my IPhone 4 and switched off the alarm didn't work, that's a shame becouse all my old phones work perfectly if I switched off them. Any one know solution for it, apart to keep the phone in stay by? Chees

I fixed my powerbutton easily with some
water repellent oil. I dont know what its called, it is that thing you use for locks and hinges anyway. My iphone powerbutton has been working for like 7 months now. There is no difference from when it was new! I can really recomend this. Just remember to turn of the phone and have it upside down when you spray. And dont use to much! Theres no need for more than a few drops.

Run Script alarm doesn't work when iCal closed

I have an applescript to remind me to run a maintenance application once a week. I've set a "Run Script" alarm for a weekly event in iCal... But the script ONLY executes if iCal is open!
If iCal is closed I get the message:
"An AppleScript event alarm did not execute properly. The script "run_maintenance.scrpt" that was assigned to the event "maintenance" did not open or did not finish running."
Then, when I then open iCal, the applescript executes.
How can I get the script to run when iCal is closed, just like a normal alarm?
By the way, the applescript is quite straightforward, with a dialog and finder instruction to activate the maintenance program. It runs fine manually (& as I say, if iCal is already open).
Thanks for any suggestions.

Found the problem: The run_maintenance script couldn't be completed without user action (because of the dialogue), so was giving iCal an error.
Solution: I've set another script that simply launches the run_maintenance script as the alarm.
So there are 4 players in this daisy chain: iCal, a script to launch the reminder script, the reminder script, and Maintenance!
Inelegant, but it works.

When I open Ical it doesn't work at all. It looks like there is a problem with this particular software. Any ideas?

Hi there,
I have a problem with ical. It doesn't seem to work AT ALL when I open the program.
When I search for updates everything is up to date, so I imagine Ical should be installed again..(?)
Not sure how to do this.
Many thnaks,
Caroline

Final Cut Express was discontinued about 18 months ago, before the release of Lion (10.7). It is no longer a supported product and was never supported on Lion, nor on Mountain Lion.
While some FCE users have had success running FCE on Lion, many have reported problems including problems with chroma keying. I do not recall any solution to the chroma keying problem, but you might try searching this Forum to see what others have discovered or tried.
Final Cut Pro X is the app supported on Lion & Mountain Lion, and the future direction Apple has taken. Since your computer lab has already moved to Lion (10.7.5) and presumably will move to Mountain Lion in the future, you should begin the process of moving to Final Cut Pro X. I appreciate there are implications for cost, training, inconvenience and re-doing lesson plans. But technology moves on and at some point we need to move with it too.

MSI K8N SLI Platinum: Resume by RTC Alarm doesn't work :(

Hi folks,
I would like to make my computer boot at the concrete time everyday. I had such a possibility on my previous system. So I thought that setting this in BIOS will work but it doesn't :(
Well it works but not everyday. But let me tell the whole story. Lets suppose that I want my computer to start at 10 o'clock everyday.
So I go to BIOS and set the following things:
Power Managment Setup ->
Wake Up Event Setup ->
Resume by RTC Alarm [Enabled]
Date 0 (because setting anything else would make it starting only at the concrete day of the month -- right? And this is definately not the thing we want...]
HH:MM:SS 10:00:00
Lets say that when I set that up it was 11 o'clock. So the day passes and the next day machine starts up at 10. Great! I use my computer for couple of hours, turn it off (from the operating system) another day passes and then at 10 o'clock computer doesn't wake up. :(
What am I doing wrong?
I am using BIOS version 3.6 (update date 2005-07-22).

Ical sync doesn't work

When I try to sync ical to my iphone it gives me an error message that it could not sync to my iphone b/c the iphone disconnected. Of course, it is not disconnected. I use Palm Desktop but converted it to a Vcal format before I tried the sync. I have the most recent version of itunes. Any ideas?

The reason for the itunes throwing an error of the iphone being disconnected when trying to sync ical, is that the iphone does not like one or more of your events.
One way to find out which one it is:
1. instead of syncing all your calendars at once, try syncing one calendar at a time.
2. when you come across the offending calendar, try setting the feature to not sync anything older than 7 days.
4. If it still does not work, create a new calendar in ical, call it iphone or something
5. sync the iphone to that blank calendar replacing all calendar data
6. create a test event on the iphone and a test event in ical in the test calendar and sync the iphone. This makes sure that ical and the iphone are syncing both ways
7. start moving a few of your events from the offending calendar to the test calendar and sync the iphone
8. keep repeating step 7 until you get the error message that the iphone was not connected.
This way you can narrow down the event or event's that are causing the iphone to disconnect.

Synced my 3G and now my alarm doesn't work.

Alarm is still set as 'on' but doesn't alarm. How do I fix this?

Near as I can recall offhand, replacing the optical drive shouldn't have involved disconnecting any of the video cables (and given that you're still around, you weren't electrocuted by accidentally hitting any of the hot analog/video connectors ); the only thing that comes to mind is to again carefully disassemble the eMac and double check that the internal connectors are fully seated. You can refer to the links at the end of Apple eMac Upgrade Guide (where that site says "very slow downloads", it's not kidding).

Iphone 5 reminders alarm doesn't work

The alarm for my reminders app on my iphone 5 no longer works. I'll put in a date and time and save it, but then on my reminders list it just goes away. How can I get it back?

To further reinforce the point made clear by @hsavage06, I have found that it is better to keep only one "Reminders" list and that that list should always be in iCloud.
I had two lists, my ICloud and and another one. And my problem was that I did not realize that my other list was by default.
It wouldn't keep Reminders Alarms !!!
When I switched (and subsequently erased the old list), everything went smooth because all the list and parameters were only in iCloud.
SO YES GUYS : KEEP EVERYTHING IN ICLOUD
ps: Apple must certainly have a problem with other lists that are not in iCloud though... ;-p

Alarm doesn't work

My alarm will turn off befor it rings.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
