Tasks sync error: "alarm set for later than entry ...

I upgraded the firmware on my E71 to the latest version. Since then syncing my tasks with Outlook 2007 has been a battle. The main problem is that once syncronised and older than 24 hours, I no longer can edit the tass on my mobile; only within Outlook. I get a "alarm set for later than entry starts" error on my E71. I have reformatted the phone, restored the data, deleted all calendar entries in the phone - resync with Outlook, but the problem persist. I also get duplicate entries at time or entries which do not sync in both directions. This messed up most of my tasks. PLEASE HELP.

I do experience the same issue with my TODO in Nokia E72. NOKIA are you listening here?

Nokia E72: "alarm set for later than entry starts"...

Hi,
I have bought recently a E72 nokia.
It replaced my old E50 ...
I have used a lot the "To Do" calendar entry feature to plan some actions on my old E50 Nokia.
I was not well impressed by the E72 "To Do" because if I'd like to re-schedule the ToDo entry I cannot do it and I'm receivieng all the time the "alarm set for later than entry starts" error.
It is crazy because I cannot do anything but just close everything ... abd go to the default screen.
Is this a bug or it is a bad "feature" of the new Nokia E72 ?
How can I re-schedule a "To Do" ?
Is there a different understanding from software point of view between E50 "To Do" and E72 "To Do "?
Thank you for support.

I do experience the same issue with my TODO in Nokia E72. NOKIA are you listening here?

ICal alarm setting bug?

One thing that really annoys me is when I set a new event in iCal, say at 10am, the alarm is automatically set for 10am. Since I have the "Add a default alarm to all new events and invitations" set to 0 minutes before the start time in the prefs, this is normal.
However if I edit the event and change the time to 11am, the alarm time is not updated, it stays on 10am.
I couldn't find a discussion about this, so I wonder if I am the only one having this problem.

why don't you make one yourself? Also, probably better if you posted in the iCal part of the discussion boards.

My alarm clock on my 4S/iOS8 will not keep the premium alarm I have set for it. How do I fix this?

I have my alarm set for "Ultimate Alarm" and when my alarm actually goes off, I have the default alarm tone instead of the Ultimate Alarm I paid for. This happens with all alarms, even if I checked the settings literally minutes prior. Help me fix this?

I'm fairly certain this is expected behavior if you have a CDMA carrier like Verizon or Sprint. The phone cannot handle being on a call and using data to receive messages or email.
Someone else may be able to further clarify.

ICal alarms won't Open File

I created two Automator actions, one to mount a server and one to eject the server. Both actions work fine in the Finder. I saved them both as iCal plug-ins to run the same time every day. While the server is mounted Backup runs and backs up my Mac to the server.
The problem is the Mount Server plug-in doesn't work, only the Eject Server plug-in, so when I come in to work each morning, Backup is waiting for the server. Then I have to mount it and wait 20+ minutes for Backup to run before I can get to work.
Can anyone think of why this particular plug-in isn't working? When I go to ~/Library/Workflows/Applications/iCal/Mount Backup.app and simply double click the Automator action it works fine. It's iCal that's acting flaky. I've also tried an AppleScript that mounts the server, but that didn't work either. (ejecting still works fine)
I'm stumped. Any help/clues would be appreciated. I'm running 10.4.5 on a Dual 1.8 GHz G5 with 3 GB RAM.

Sorry, I'm a long time "end user." The terminal makes me nervous. But I did end up fixing the problem.
I was setting the iCal alarm to open at a specific time during an all day event. (i.e. all day event, alarm set for 7:00 pm) That wasn't working. When Automator created the event it set it as a timed event with an untimed alarm (i.e. 7:00 pm to 7:00 pm, alarm set to 0 minutes before) which makes less sense to me, but it works so what do I know. I adjusted the repeat schedule to my liking and all is well.
Incidentally, the AppleScript that mounted the server was essentially "double-clicking" an alias of the server. The Automator action was mounting it based on it's IP address on the network. I'm sure they work about the same way, but the AppleScript still doesn't work in iCal. I think it's because Automator uses magic.

Duplicate iCal alarm messages

Since we started synching our machines with Mobile Me I'm now getting multiple alarm notifications from iCal. If I set an notification to email me a reminder about an event on one computer, I get a message from every computer that synchs to Mobile Me... even one from my wife's machine using her email address. We have four computers and an iPad synching to our Mobile Me account, so I get five notifications for every event. Not only that, I get iPhone alarms, possibly because the iPhone is synched with that calendar. So does my wife, and she doesn't want the alarm at all (neither did I want the one that woke me a 4 AM). Is there a way to tame this to get only one email and no iPhone beeps? There must be a simple fix. Either that or Apple has started hiring software designers from Microsoft.

I am having duplicate events on my calendar...EVERYTHING is duplicated.
Fortunately, I don't have alarms set for just everything on the calendar.
It occurs to me that Sync-ing means to do just that. It seems that iCal's definition of Sync-ing is to just just put everything from both devices,(my iPad and my desktop), into a single pile and call it a calendar.If each calendar has the same info, well....it just goes in there twice.
I can't find a "Report Bugs" option in the drop box, either.
As for alarms...can your wife select which calendar she receives alarms from in the settings?
I think that, as long as you have all of your devices synced, you'll get notifications from any device "attached" to your calendar. I think that's the purpose of syncing.
I mean, that is the point of having a sync, so you never miss anything you've placed on the calendar.
So I think that your issue is more about feeling TOO synced.... But I don't know how you'd stop the notifications, aside from turning off the sync on each device that you don't want to receive the info. I am not sure that you can be as selective with how the mobileme service sends your events to your devices so much as you may have to select how you receive those events to each device.
I guess maybe not sending alarms for 4am is a good choice if you don't want to be bugged by that?
Good luck, I am going to see if there is any other thread regarding the Events Multiplicity issue. I also get these VAST duplications of contacts in my contact list and I don't understand that one, either.

No alarm set, but goes off at 7am on random days.

Hi all.
After updating to ios6 the alarm on my 4s has started going off at 7am on random days. It can be 3 or 4 days in a row, or nothing for a week, but it's always at 7am.
When it goes off there is nothing appearing in the lock or home screens to let me switch it off, and I have to switch the phone off completely.
I have alarms set for 7.20 and 7.30, which go off as normal.
There is nothing in my calendar for the days it goes off.
It's driving me and my wife insane!
Any help greatly appreciated.

I suspect it's supernatural.

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.

ICal Alarm for birthdays

I am unable to set an alarm for birthdays. I cannot believe that this is not possible to do, anyone got any ideas?

Hi,
A lot of people on this forum seem to want this feature.
I have written an Applescript Studio application that duplicates the functioning of the birthdays calendar (syncing dates to iCal in the background), plus adding a lot of extra features, including alarms.
Dates to iCal automatically syncs your Address Book birthdays, anniversaries and custom dates to iCal, creating alarmed, editable events in a seperate calendar. With Dates to iCal you can:
- Add Address Book date events automatically to iCal.
- Choose which event types you want added (birthdays, custom dates or both).
- Have any type of alarm you like for the event, from a message to emailing a whole Address Book Group.
- Choose the notice in days and hours the alarms are set for.
- Manually make changes (i.e. adding notes) to these events.
- Add birthdays manually for people you don't have a seperate card for in Address Book.
It is freeware. To get a copy go to www.nhoj.co.uk.
Best wishes

Scripts and Workflows set as iCal alarms not functioning in Lion...

...or it could be becuase i am using a Beta version related to the Beta for iClloud and iOS5....I'm not 100% sure....
All I know is that I have scripts and workflows that used to work before the upgrade, they STILL work when I run them independantly using Script editor and Automator, but they do not run when the iCal alarm that they are tied to goes off. Coem to think of it, the only way that i know those alrms are going off is that I get a notification on my synced iPhone that tells me they are going off. - so i guess I really don't know if those alarms are working on my mac at home.
any thoughts or help?

For me it's completely random. Some examples of what's happened to me...
- I've set a new alarm (that I need to go off weekly) When I first set it it will pop up, but then the next week it will not. But then sometimes it will.
- I also have an alarm to check woot.com everyday that NEVER goes off.
I don't know if anyone else is having this problem (or if it's related) but something else also started happening the same time I installed Leopard... Occasionaly whatever window in any program I'm working in will all of a sudden go inactive / ghosted so I'm not able to type, etc. I have to click on the window I was working in to make it active again.
The tech I talked to thought that perhaps a pop up alarm was popping up OFF screen and therefore causing the inactive window problem. But after erasing all the info in my iCal (that's right, EVERY appointment had to be reentered) I know for a fact that's not the problem.

No Alarms Work/ical alarms not firing. I have a solution that worked for me

If anyone has had a look at this thread and still not found a solution...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1215043&start=30&tstart=0
try this (busycal)...
http://www.busymac.com/index.html
I was having serious problems with my iCal alarms. They just weren't firing reliably, and I tried so many things to get it fixed. Nothing worked until I installed busycal. it's perfect! It's been totally rock solid for 20 or so days and I just purchased a full licence. Has very neat features like LAN sharing and google cal syncing. Even if it didn't need these features, I'd still use it because I rely on alarms firing, and busycal does it without issues. Support is also excellent (they email quickly, with accurate/helpful replies, and they've even made suggestions to me about settings I can change to make everything run more smoothly. amazing!) the quality of support, frequent updates and reliable alarms is worth the small registration price along!
and no, i don't work for them, i'm just a very happy user and hopefully it will help some other frustrated ical users out there!
alex =)

try busycal support. they really are excellent and i'm sure they can help u work towards a solution. click "email support" in the busycal help menu.

Disable ical alarms temporarily (e. g. for 2 hours) by apple script ?

Hi,
I'm searching for a way to disable the ical alarm pop-ups temporarily (e. g. for 2 hours).
Is there a way to do that?
Why?
For people giving presentations with MS PowerPoint or Keynote it might be a problem if during the talk a window pops open - maybe even with private content..
I know that there is the option in the preferences, but once I used it I forgot to re-activate the alarms, so it would be better to define for how long the alarms will be disabled before.
Does anyone know how to do that?
If there's no complete solution, it would at least be interesting to know how to access this option by AppleScript.
Martin

My iCal is up to date in OSX Lion and the script below is working for me. It doesn't actually take time into account, like beckmart had wanted and I'm not very applescript savvy so I just put it into an automator workflow using the script twice with a "pause" in between.
tell application "iCal" to activate
tell application "System Events" to tell process "iCal"
          click menu item 3 of menu 1 of menu bar item 2 of menu bar 1
          click button 3 of tool bar 1 of window 1
          click checkbox 1 of window 1
          click menu item 10 of menu 1 of menu bar item 3 of menu bar 1
end tell
tell application "iCal" to quit

Strange behavior for iCal alarms

To run an AppleScript from an iCal alarm you do the following:
In Automator, create a Calendar Alarm
Select Utilities from the library pane
Select & drag Run AppleScript into the workflow area
Copy/paste an AppleScript into the Run AppleScript box
Save the newly created Calendar Alarm with name (e.g. ArchNew)
This will open the Automator Calendar in iCal
Edit the Date/Time/Repeat/...... as you want as shown in the example below
The resulting AppleScript will be stored here
/Users/<user_acct>/Library/Workflows/Applications/Calendar/ArchNew.app
Now the problem
If at a later time you want to modify the AppleScript ArchNew.app using the AppleScript Editor, it will break the binding between the iCal alarm and the AppleScript ArchNew.app
The only way I've been able to do this is delete the file
/Users/<user_acct>/Library/Workflows/Applications/Calendar/ArchNew.app
and then go back to #1 above and repeat the whole process with the modified AppleScript.
Does anyone know why the simple approach of directly editing and saving the changes to the AppleScript ArchNew.app doesn't work?

You still haven't provided your 4 digit Oracle version or the TABLE and INDEX DDL.
Your 'problem' could be nothing more than DEFERRED SEGMENT creation where Oracle doesn't allocate space until the first data is added for that segment.
See 'Understanding Deferred Segment Creation' in the DBA Guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25494/tables002.htm#CHDGJAGB
>
Understand Deferred Segment Creation
Beginning with Oracle Database 11g Release 2, when you create heap-organized tables in a locally managed tablespace, the database defers table segment creation until the first row is inserted.
In addition, segment creation is deferred for any LOB columns of the table, any indexes created implicitly as part of table creation, and any indexes subsequently explicitly created on the table.
Note:
In Release 11.2.0.1, deferred segment creation is not supported for partitioned tables. This restriction is removed in release 11.2.0.2 and later.
>
That is why it is MANDATORY that posters provide their 4 digit Oracle versions. There are too many features that depend on the version being used.

How prevent iCal ALARM reminders popping up when not wanted?

Sometimes I don't want to see my alarm box popping up to remind me of things.
Suddenly, & frequently, the pesky iCal Alarm box pops up in the middle of the screen with another preset alarm reminder, insisting on my immediate attention. Like when I'm watching a video on my mac.
Then I've got to get up and move it out of the way, but as soon as I touch it, the video which I've set to full screen shrinks to small & I've got to click it to big again. This is just one of the inconveniences.
Please, how can I set the iCal alarm to give it a rest for a while and save those reminders for later
I've made lots of iCal alarms to remind me of things throughout the day. so these interruptions are a constant problem.
Q#2: Why doesn't my ALARM BOX show active the Yellow Button so I could relegate it to the side Dock? Or even the Green Button, so I could enlarge it when I want to see all my open reminders without scrolling?
Instead, My ical ALARM BOX only has the Red button, which closes it out and loses all those reminders therein until it's their time again.
Oh, dear, I don't think anybody can solve this problem.
Or
can
you?
