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!

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.

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.

My iphone calendar keeps changing the alert and second alert times I put in

Ever since updating to 7.0.2, my Iphone calendar keeps changing the alert and second alert times I input for an event to different times. Why is it doing this and how can I fix it?

Are you syncing your phone with iTunes and then with iCloud? This can cause duplicates. Sync with one or the other, but not both.

How to set default alert time?

Whenever I set up a new calendar item on iCal and want to set an alarm one or more days before the event, the alarm defaults to 11:45PM. I would like to change this default time to something like 9:00 am. I've checked preferences but don't see any way to do that.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
David

Go iCal Preferences/General and click the default alert tick box at the bottom. You can then adjust the amount of minutes before the event for the alarm. NB. ticking the tickbox means you get an alarm for every entry.

ICal, google CalDAV and iPod sync

I've got iCal syncing with google calendar and for the most part it is working. But for some reason the google calendar does not sync to my iPod Classic 160GB. It shows up in iTunes, and did show up once on the iPod for about a second before disappearing forever. Anybody got it working?

Simply put, it works

Any was to alter or customize the default alert times in Calendar and/or Reminders?

I's like to create my own "defaults" in Calendar and Reminders. Any method of doing that? I thought it was possible...

I appreciate your response, but I've already gone through that routine several times. I actually had to do it TWICE today alone. It gets really old. I want Bing blocked completely. I'm tired of it changing my default search, especially without my permission.

Dynamic Query and default run-time values

I am trying to build a dynamic query within dreamweaver and
retain access from the bindings panel.
here is a simple pseudo-query I want to expand on.
"SELECT object FROM objects_table WHERE widget_number =
widgets"
widgets is set up as a variable with a run-time value that
relates to $_GET['widgets']
this works fine but now i want to expand on this so the query
returns all results if $_GET['widgets'] is undefined. I was hoping
I could set the default value for widgets to equal widget_number so
I would get....
"SELECT object FROM objects_table WHERE widget_number =
widget_number" but the runtime query is actually
"SELECT object FROM objects_table WHERE widget_number =
'widget_number' " which obviously doesn't work.
I can alter the query manually from the code view but then I
lose access to the bindings panel as dreamweaver doesn't parse the
query properly.
Any pointers?
Thanks in advance

This is simply a question of organizing your workflow. As you
have
discovered, Dreamweaver no longer recognizes a recordset if
you make
changes to the basic structure of the code. The answer is to
use
Dreamweaver to construct your page using an unaltered
recordset. Once
the design stage is complete, make the changes required by
inserting
your conditional statement. Yes, the fieldnames disappear
from the
Bindings panel, and you get exclamation marks in the Server
Behaviors
panel, but that's not important. If you need to restore them
for any
reason, just wrap the changes in /* */ comments. Remove the
comments
when you have finished.

All day event default alert times

I want to change the default time that I am alerted by calender for all day events. It is set on 9 am the day before but I want it to be set to noon the day before.

Limited options in Calendar/Preferences/Alerts.

How do you set the alert time to default to a set amount of time in the calendar?

How do you set a default alert time in my calendar so I don't have to set it every time?

Go iCal Preferences/General and click the default alert tick box at the bottom. You can then adjust the amount of minutes before the event for the alarm. NB. ticking the tickbox means you get an alarm for every entry.

Google calendar and iOS 8 - no longer synchronizing

Updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 8 and suddenly my gmail calendar is no longer synchronizing on the phone. I've already done the restore to factory settings because after the upgrade to iOS 8, my phone lumped a bunch more files into "other" which weren't there prior to the upgrade. I restored as new and added all my email accounts again and calendar is turned on for my gmail account.
On my MBP, my calendar is set up sans the email, and it's still all there, synchronizing perfectly. Can't figure out what's up with the phone or why it won't work. I've also removed the email account, re-added (for a grand total of two times) and nada. Zip. Zilch. Calendar won't sync and phone will not acknowledge the gmail calendar when adding an event.
Anyone else having this problem? I've used my work calendar on this phone for 2+ years without issue.
Thanks,

i realize this is a naive question, but i've never had problems with iPhones syncing before. i just gave up my 4s with iOS 5 and now have an iPhone 6, iOS 8. Everything seemed to be working well since i got the phone in late November, until a couple of days ago, and now i'm having the problem raised in this discussion and a couple of others.
Starting a couple of days ago, i found that when i entered a new event in the iPhone calendar, it did not sync with iCal, or iCloud. I also found that my iCloud storage was full, and eventually figured out that that was because my phone had automatically backed itself up to iCloud twice, at 2.4G each, which used up most of my 5G iCloud storage. ?? I never had this problem before. So i thought maybe that's why the data stopped syncing. i deleted one of the backups and turned off 'back up' in the iCloud settings. But no success.
Then i discovered that Contacts were still syncing--if i entered a new contact on the iPhone, it showed up in iClound/iCal. So only Calendar was not syncing.
Another member of these forums suggested i make sure that iCloud was set as my default calendar in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar.
in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Calendars>Default Calendars, there are two default calendar headings. One is iCloud, and under that heading are 8 sub calendars (Home, Finance, Pets, Family, etc). The second heading is my gmail address which is my Apple ID, and under the heading there is one option, which is my gmail username. That is checked as my default calendar. There is no way to select iCloud as my default calendar. The heading is not selectable. If i want to choose an iCloud default calendar, my only choices are to pick one of the 8 sub calendars--which seems crazy to me. Why would i want to pick Pets, for example, to use as my default calendar? What's the point of having all those sub calendars? i never used them as calendars. i just used them to color code the different categories.
Anyway, i experimented with changing my default calendar from my gmail username under my gmail address heading, to one of the sub-calendars under the iCloud heading. At random, i chose the Home "calendar." Its color is blue.
None of my entries of the past couple of days showed up.
In January, i had entered three dental appointments.   They did not have a color code because i had just used the gmail username as my default calendar. They were a sort of salmon color, apparently the default color of this calendar. I changed one of the dental appointments to Home and voila, it showed up in January where it was supposed to be.
But how crazy is this?   iCloud is forcing me to choose one of these 8 sub calendars as my default calendar, so that all of my events, regardless of their correct category, becomes part of the one category i have been forced to choose? What's the point of having 8 different choices if only one of them can sync with iCloud?
At this point, i have tried one suggestion here, toggling my gmail account calendar off and back on. It didn't work I guess i will now do a reset but i am hesitating because i'm afraid i will lose data and settings and will have to put a lot more time into trying to get it set back up. It IS the main account i use and i hate to mess with it or delete it. Why is this happening?   Everything was fine until a couple of days ago.
I went to the link posted by gosleg above. That was a dead end because at that link, under "Select Calendars to sync to your iPhone," it only has one choice under My Calendars, and the email address (account) it shows is not my gmail address. this has been a confusing problem i've struggled with with Google for a long time. Before there was gmail, my google account used my then main email address, which is a roadrunner address, which i still have but don't use much. So that is the only "calendar" that is listed under My Calendars at gosleg's link. The check box is checked and it's grayed out. i can't uncheck it.
So i don't know if resetting my iPhone will even help with this.
i only know that with my 4s with iOS 5, everything worked correctly, effortlessly, easy, and after i updated to the new phone, everything worked fine for the first 3 weeks or so, and then suddenly i started having calendar problems.
Calendar problems (possibly related):
1. entries of events in Calendar don't sync to iCloud, though contacts do
2. entries in Calendar show Greenwich Mean Time, it will enter both local time zone AND gmt, two entries on one day. Despite being set to use my local time zone in settings, it wants to make sure i know what the GMT is for all my entries.
3. iOS forces me to have alerts for Calendar entries when i don't want any. Even though in settings i have default alert time set to none, and because it's set to none, when i am entering an event, i scroll down to alerts and can see it says None, when i click add to add the even, and then open the event back up, it shows an alert for 30 minutes. It does this every time. i have to turn it off.
When asked Apple about this bug, i was told i just needed to reset my iPhone. I don't think i have ever reset any iPhone i have and it scares me. I don't want to change it to factory settings, i don't want to have to go through everything and re-enter information. Do i risk losing anything?

Trouble with .ics file and incorrect appointment times

My problem sounds quite similar to many of the other discussions within this community and the net in general. However I have yet to find a solution to my issue.
When receiving an email with an attached .ics file it imports into Calendar two hours later than the actual event. I have double checked that my time zone setting is correct in the General Settings and, as has been suggested, turning off "TIme Zone Support" in the Mail, Contacts, Calendar settings. The .ics files I receive are created in the same time zone as I.
When opening the email on my Laptop and importing the .ics file it is correct in iCal which, to me, means I have an incorrect setting on my iPhone.
Is it a coincidence that the import on my phone sets its own alert time at two hours and that's the same time differential that the event is incorrect? There is no set alert time when importing the file on my laptop. I also have no default alert times set in my phone settings.
The only way I can get it to work is if I open it on my laptop first then sync my phone. It's unfortunate that I rarely have the luxury of having my laptop with me.
So, simply stated, the file imports perfectly on my MacBook but not on my iPhone. What settings on the phone am I missing? Ive tried settings in different ways and in different combinations with restarts in between and still no luck.

Greetings,
If nothing shows up that suggests:
A. There is nothing in that .ics file
B. The date you are looking at does not have anything associated with this .ics file
C. There is something wrong with iCal / it's database.
Try importing that calendar into iCal into a new calendar and then uncheck all the calendars but the new one. Now go to month view and go forward and backward and see if there is anything showing up in iCal.
If there is still nothing try adding a different calendar to make iCal is working as this could just be a bad calendar or a calendar with nothing in it: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/
Hope that helps.

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.

IOS8 Calendar Alert - Time to Leave - Not Appearing?

Hi,
I'm a little confused (which some may say isn't hard) around the calendar app on iOS8. As I understood if you entered a location for the calendar entry which was recognised and showed up with a nap then you could go to alert & set to 'Time to Leave' this is also referenced in iOS8 iBooks guide. (
“f you add a location and choose Alert > Time to leave, Calendar reminds you of the event based on the current travel time to get there.”

However this option doesn't show on my iPhone 5S with iOS8 or my partners iPhone 5.
any help would be much appreciated - one point location services are on and on for calendar.
Thanks,
Mark

I have this option on my iPad 4 but not on my iPhone 5.

I have Google as my default home page in Firefox and the Google proser opens when I start Firefox, but every time I open a new tab it opens the Yahoo browser.
