ICal Alarms not working in iPod

Around six months ago iCal alarms stopped working on my iPod.
They do not even show up when I view a To Do or Event on my iPod. This happened all of a sudden and I have never changed any settings other than installing standard updates. I cannot recall if it was around the same time as an update. I use iCal 2.0.5 (1069). I was using a 60G iPod when this occurred. My new 80G has the same problem.
Any ideas? I have searched everywhere(!) to no avail.
I am very keen to get this feature back. Any suggestions most welcome. Thanks in advance!
(This is my first post/question on here. I apologise if I have posted in the wrong place or asked a stupid question.)

Believe me when I saw I have tried everything! I am not technically minded though I have covered all bases. I am just anxious to get this great feature back. It just seems strange that I am the only one with issues. This happened with my 60G then right through to now. I am actually on my second 80G as the first's battery failed after a month.
Is it an issue with my Power Book? I seriously have not change any settings - EVER. Except for the standard updates.
Thanks again for your quick reply Anyone got any ideas?!

  • ICal alarms not working for delegates

    I have a Mac OS X Server 10.5.4 running iCal server. I have successfully setup a couple of users and a delegate for one of the users that has write permissions. The alarms are working for the user but not for the delegate.
    I have searched the Mac OS X Server/iCal list and the iCal list with no answer to the issue.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    This issue has been solved with the following from Cyrus Daboo. Thank you Cyrus.
    I believe that by default iCal ignores alarms on delegate calendars. I think you can change that by selecting the calendar in the list and selecting Get Info from the menu and then toggling an option in the resulting dialog box.

  • ICal alarms not working after upgrade to Tiger

    After upgrading to Tiger my iCal (v 2.0.2) alarms were not working. The solution that worked for me was to go to the preferences file in my home folder and remove "com.apple.iCal.alarmsCache.plist" and "com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist". I removed both at the same time but you may want to try one at a time. Quit mail and then reopen it. After of couple of tests with a message alarm and an email alarm it seems to have solved the problem.

    Vicki,
    Force Quit iCal, from the  menu by choosing >Force Quit...>iCal.
    Paste this text ~/Library into the Finder Menu>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
    Then open the Calendars Folder which is in that Library Folder, and move any any files with "Cache" listed in the name field to your Desktop.
    Next open the Preferences Folder in that same Library Folder and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
    Log out/in or restart and open iCal.

  • ICal alarms not working when my mac has been off during time of alarm.

    Surely there is a way to make all the missed alarms go off when I do turn my mac on? Please help!

    To clarify, I set an alarm for 10am.
    My Mac is off all night until 11am when I turn it on. When I do turn it on I do not get the 10am alarm!
    Am using Macbook Pro 15" OS X 10.6.8

  • Alarms not working going crazy

    Hi All,
    The alarms in iCal are not working AT ALL for me, no matter if iCal is open or not. I practically tried everything that was suggested in these forums. I usually setup alarms to pop-up a message and play a sound before an event. However, everything is silent for some reason. No pop-ups and no sounds even when iCal is open. Here is what I tried so far:
    1) I deleted all iCal preferences from library/Preferences/ and restarted iCal.
    2) I made sure that iCalAlarmScheduler is in the login items and that is is loaded.
    3) Tried again with open iCal, but no luck again.
    Just FYI, I am on a MacPro, with Mac OS X 10.4.9 and ALL the updates installed, running iCal 2.0.5 (1069).
    I am SO frustrated!!! This seems to be a VERY common problem since iCal 1.5 and Apple obviously can't find a solution for it. Is it THAT hard Apple engineers?
    Please help! I REALLY need these reminders. Without them I am lost. Thanks!

    alexbet,
    I am glad to hear that you resolved the problem.
    You said: I really don't understand why it didn't work before and it did this time, but thank you for "making me" do it again.
    Did you have iCal running when you previously tried the plist removal?
    I suggested a specific order to ensure that you did not have iCal running when you removed the appropriate plist files. Plist removal is more often than not, unsuccessful if the application concerned is running or the application is restarted before a log out/in or system restart is accomplished.

    The BT profiles on the iPod do not support direct iPod-to-iPod use.  There are apps that support peer-to-peer gaming between iPods and maybe transfer like for photos.  Also see:

  • Why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 is turned off

    why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 for is  turned  off works fine when on most other phones work when off

    The only phone I've ever had that would turn on and sound the alarm is a Blackberry. So, I'd hardly say "most phones" have this function.

  • IPhone 4 alarm not working since 01.01.2011

    iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.1 alarm not working since 01.01.2011. Tried different settings such as turning off automatic update and changing location. Nothing seem to be working. Any solution?

    Same for both mine and my wife's iPhone 4 4.2.1. Her work woke us up. I found a short fix while testing it out. If you setup a repeat alarm for the day you want it to go off it works. I don't know why but it works, if I don't set the repeat the alarm does not sound. Hope it helps some people but Apple... Fix it please!

  • Lion 10.7.1. Searching on iCal does not work

    I have Lion 10.7.1. Searching on iCal does not work. Also, I tried searching form the  spotlight search , it does not retrieve calendar entries. Note: my calendar files are on an encrypted disk image (but I enable the disk image , I can see the calendar).
    Any advice ?

    I have been searching for an answer to this problem for about 6 months.  I took it to 2 genius'! Neither could find the problem and suggested I completely wipe my hard drive and reinstall all the software.  There ahs to be another way!

  • After Installing Lion, Ical does not work.  I cannot print, I cannot add an event, etc.  How do I reinstall?

    Since installing Lion OS, iCal does not work.  I cannot add an event, print calendar, etc.  How do i reinstall?

    You can use Lion Recovery
    Before you do that, go to ~/Library/Preferences
    Move the com.apple.iCal.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.
    See if you can print or add an event now.
