How do I remove calendar alerts on my iPhone that were added when I installed Mountain Lion

Just recently upgraded my Mac OS X to Mountain Lion.  Did notice though that all-day events in my Calendar now have alerts.  Was able to remove them from Calendar in my MacBook, but noticed that they're still there in my iPhone and iPad even after synchronizing these with my MacBook.  Any suggestions on how to remove the alerts from all the all-day events without resorting to manually removing them one by one?

re: Mountain Lion adding default alerts that you can't get off you iPhone/iPad
Found a workaround that fixed the problem for me.  All posts and other help did not work on my MacBook Pro/iPhone 4s/iPad 3....Here's what I did.  First, exported each individual calendar to a .ics file on my desktop.  Then removed all calendars.  Then went to Calendar->Preferences->Alerts and selected "None, None, None".  The check box for "use these default settings only on this computer" is checked and grayed out, so I could not change it.  Then went to System Preferences->iCloud and unchecked Calendars and Reminders, and Documents and Data.  Got the warning that it would delete data on MacBook but that's the only option, so I did it and did not seem to lose any data.  Then opened iCal and imported each .ics file from the desktop.  After that was done, I checked Calendar->Preferences->Alerts again and it had changed back to default alert at 9:00am, so I changed again to "None" .  Then I went to iPhone and iPad and in Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, changed Calendars->Default Alert Times-> to "None, None, None". Then on iPhone and iPad went to Settings->iCloud deselected same Calendars and Reminders, and Documents and Data.  Restarted all...sync'd to iTunes, first time checking replace calendar data on iPhone and iPad (Bottom of "Info" tab)...Then sync'd again and all alerts are gone now on all devices and everything is working like it was using Snow Leopard.  Takes a few steps and a little time, but this worked great for me and no issues since.
One thing to mention is that I tried all these steps without deselecting "Documents and Data" in iCloud settings, and it didn't work.  Had to do each step in above order to get things the way they were before Mountain Lion.

  • How can I remove calendar alerts from my iPhone?

    My iPhone 4 (iOS 6) seems to be adding calendar alerts on its own and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove them. I use iCal on my Macbook Pro (running Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to sync my calendar events. None of my events on iCal have alerts set to them and I have disabled all alerts in my iCal preferences. Yet, for some reason, when I look at a calendar event on my iPhone, an alert is set for it.
    How do I remove these properly? I do not simply want to silence these alerts, but figure out how they got there in the first place and remove them completely. For comparison's sake, I've included an image of the event from iCal and the event from my iPhone.

    Hi pjdemeo,
    I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone.  As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer.  This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
    The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
    Organize photos and videos - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
    Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.
    Cheers,

  • HT4915 How do I remove a song from my iPhone that I pulled down off the Cloud?

    How do I remove a song from my iPhone that I pulled down off the Cloud? I don't want to remove the song from my library, just my iPhone.

    If you're using iTunes Match, currently this is not possible.  For some reason the ability to remove individual songs was removed with iOS 6.  All you can do is delete all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage, tapping Music, swipping across All Music and tapping Delete), then redownload the music you want on your phone from iTunes Match.
    If you're not using iTunes match you could try swipping across the title of the song and seeing if the option to Delete appears.  Not sure if this is still possible for non-iTunes Match users.

  • I lost my address book when I installed Mountain Lion and have not been able to recover it.  WHen I type in a name in an email the address shows up, so I know it is in there.  How can I restore my address book?

    I don't know how to do this.  I typed the question in the bar above, but apparently need to type it again here.  I lost my entire address book when I installed Mountain Lion and have been unable to recover it.  I know the information is in there as when I type in someone's name in an email the address always shows up right away.  How can I find the information for my contacts and restore my address book? Do I need to go to the Apple Store that is 2 hours away and have an expert help me or can I find out how to do it online for free myself?

    The auto-complete in Mail addresses comes from two sources: (1) The "Previous Recipients" list, which can be viewed via Mail > Window > Previous Recipients. (2) Your Address Book (now called "Contacts").
    If you did in fact lose your Address Book - are you sure you don't have "Contacts" in your Applications Folder? - It sounds like you are getting addresses from source (1).  If you did in fact lose your  Address Book (now called "Contacts" !!), you will have to restore it from a backup.

  • How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Were transferred when I set up laptop from my desktop computer.  Tried dragging off but that didn't work.

    How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Transferred info from my Mac Pro desktop computer (using target mode) and there were folder icons on the Mac Pro Finder sidebar that are now on the MacBook Finder sidebar, even though these folders do not exist on the MacBook.  Tried to drag them off, which is the usual way to get rid of folders that the user adds to the sidebar (as opposed to those that can be added via the Customize Toolbar dropdown menu) but was unsuccessful.  I then unchecked all of the Customize Toolbar menu items and the folder icons still remained.  What else can I do?

    Did you hold the Command (Apple) key while dragging them off the sidebar? That usually makes them go *poof*.

  • When I installed Mountain Lion it asked the name of my computer. I was in such a hurry that I now have a typo. How can I go back and change the name of the computer?

    How do I change the name of my computer?

    One area that this appears is on Facebook where it lists the number of Recognized Devices. There are six devices which include iPad and iPhone. These items are grayed and you are unable to change. Also on my iphone it lists the computer name. This name is different from name of my computer. It's what I signed in as when I installed the Mountain Lion upgrade. I know I'm not doing a good job of explaining this. I have searched everywhere on my computer that I can think of and cannot locate where this is used. Any suggestions are appreciated.

  • How do I delete documents from my iPad that were added when it ran regular Acrobat, now that it has switched to DC?  The docs are not on the cloud, and DC does not seem to have a delete function for non-cloud docs.

    I use an iPad.  It automatically switched me from old-fashioned Acrobat to DC.  How do I delete docs that were put on my iPad with the old Acrobat?  They are not in the cloud, and DC does not seem to have a delete function for them.

    Hi,
    By default, Acrobat DC for iOS displays recently viewed files.  You need to switch to other file location (such as Local, Document Cloud, Creative Cloud) to delete, rename, move, or duplicate files.
    You can switch to Local, if you would like to see the files and folders that are locally stored on your iPad.
    Would you take a look at the following document to see how you can switch to other file location and delete files?

  • TS1363 How do I remove some photos fro my Iphone that went on there accidentally when I got it ? They are just pic files that were on my computer and I cannot delete them just from my phone

    Hello when I got my Iphone 4s and plugged it into my laptop and it started to sync I didn't realize that it also put Photo Folders with many pics on my phone and I want to remove them but can't do it like I can with the pics I have taken with my phone. I want these other Photo Files off my phone as I know they take up room

    You remove them the same way you put them there.  The sync process.
    Deselect them in itunes and sync.

  • How do you remove the Ambient Noise Reduction option on the built-in microphone in Mountain Lion?

    On my old Macbook, I had the option under System Preferences>Input. However, since I've upgraded to a 2012 2.7 i5 iMac, it's no longer there.
    The problem lies in the fact that I DON'T want the Ambient Noise Reduction turned on. My recordings in Garageband sound really strange with it. However, it is very obviously being applied to said recordings.
    Anyone have any ideas about how to go about solving this?

    I'm running OSX 10.8.3 as well. In System Preferences>Sound>Input tab, do you not have the option indicated in the image?

  • HT1848 How do I get music files from my iphone that were priviously synced back to the cloud?

    Previously my Iphone was synced with a cable and all my music files and apps were synced. Now that Icloud is synced wirelessly, only purchased music is synced back to the cloud. How do I get my other music files and apps exported to the cloud or to my computer?

    Robert...
    You can delete songs directly from the iPhone.
    Tap the Music tab in the Dock.
    Now swipe to the left or right once. You should see a red delete button.

  • How do I get my e-mail inbox e-mails back that were lost when I installed the new upgrade ?

    A week ago , I got a new upgrade to Firefox . The first time I ran it , my e-mail account was fine . The next time I turned it on , all of the e-mails in my inbox had been deleted . Today , there was another upgrade to Firefox . So I thought , great maybe they fixed the problem . When I turned on the newest , all of the e-mails in my inbox were gone again . I can't find any settings in the internet tools that say delete e-mails on closing .

    Most such cases happen because of a shortage (even if temporary) of free disk space on your hard drive, or if partitioned, on the boot partition. The preference is overwritten, but not the message data itself.
    If this happened, simply re-enter the account setup info, and then be sure to DECLINE any prompt to Import. When the accounts are again set up, Mail can rediscover the existing mailboxes and account folders.

  • How do I remove a toolbar from my homepage that I don't want?

    How do I remove a toolbar from my homepage that was added when I downloaded software?

    What is the name of the toolbar?
    It depends on how the toolbar was installed:
    *Some are controlled by settings in the application that installed it
    *Some are simple extensions and can be un-installed in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
    *Some are installed as programs and are un-installed in (Windows) Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
