ICal alerts to only one phone?

Not sure how to phrase it but it seems like a simple enough request.
My wife and I each have iPhones and we are using iCloud to sync our calendars.  We have multiple calendars set up - Her events, my events, joint events, work schedule, etc.  Is there a way to have alerts for my events to just sound on my phone and not hers.  And then vice-versa for her events.
We want to still see each others appointments.  Like I want to see that she has a hair appointment today at 7PM so I don't plan something with our friends tonight but then I don't need to be reminded about her upcoming hair appointment when it happens.

I did a ton of searching around the internet on this question after Alexbird's response.  I had looked casually before posting but I was determined someone must have figured this out after this many years.
People have been asking for this feature basically since the iPhone came out and there is nothing from Apple.  No one has been able to find a work-around either.  Disappointing Apple hasn't done anything about this one yet.  Must be a complicated tweak.
I found a reference to a calendar program in the Jailbreak world that does it but I couldn't then actually find the program so not sure how credible that comment was. 
As far as I can find, right now, the solution is to either keep waiting for Apple to respond (keep contacting them and complaining http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html ), maybe look into the options in the Jailbroken world, or suffer in silence. 
Sorry for the bad news everyone. ;(

  • Can I have calendar alerts for only one calendar with multiple calendars?

    My wife has multiple calendars on her iPhone (mine and hers), but she would like to receive alerts/notifications only for the items on her calendar. Is this possible? (This seems to be the opposite problem from what this person experienced: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8479193.)
    We sync with Outlook on a PC via iTunes.

    I have the very same problem. In our company, we have shared CalDAV calendars for every employee. I receive and sync those to my Mac and to my iPhone/iPod Touch; on both platforms I only want alerts for my personal appointments, and not to get alerted when my colleagues have a business lunch.
    Interestingly, in iCal on Mac OS X, there is an option "Ignore Alarms" for every single shared calendar, and I can cherry-pick those that I want to get alerted about. This is exactly the behavior I want on the iPhone, too, which regrettably is not possible (yet?).
    The other option would be to forbid alarms in shared calendars for everybody, which is not feasible, too, because people might want to get alarms without having to duplicate the date to some personal calendar first.
    So if anyone has a practical solution to this problem, I'd be happy to hear about it. Thanks!
    --Alex.

  • Why is there only one phone available? Where can I get it?

    I arrived at the main site for Firefox by typing www.getfirefox.com in the address bar of my Firefox browser, because I wanted to see if I have the latest version of Firefox. I saw the message that says, "Congratulations, you have the latest version!" Then I saw there is a Firefox OS, so I clicked on that. I eventually followed the link to get a Firefox OS phone, but to no avail. The eBay listing is expired. Yay!
    Finally I got to the page that lists, with pictures, the various Firefox OS phones. Only one says it is available, and when I click on that one, to try to get it, I get to a similar page at eBay, where it says the listing has expired. Wow. This doesn't give me a lot of confidence in the security of Firefox. I wonder why it told me that I have the latest version of the Firefox browser installed, when mine is 31.0 and the latest is 33.0.1, and if there is only one Firefox OS device available, and the link on the Firefox site takes me to an expired eBay listing, I don't think I'll be trying to get a Firefox OS device any time soon.
    Does anyone here have any suggestions for me?

    Hi Scottelly,
    You can update the Firefox browser in your computer by following these steps:
    * [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
    Regarding Firefox OS, it's a mobile operating system that is available on phones around the world. Here are all the devices currently available (please keep in mind that some of these devices are only available in some countries):
    * [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/os/devices/ Firefox OS devices]
    There is also the Flame Reference Device available for purchase, which is recommended for developers wishing to create applications or develop for Firefox OS:
    * [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/Flame Firefox OS Flame Reference Device]
    If you have issues finding a phone, or with a link pointing to an expired Ebay listing, please let us know so that we can investigate.
    I hope you find this information useful. Please let us know if you have any questions.
    - Ralph

  • Two Accounts, Receive Notifications and Alerts for Only One

    I have a personal account and a work account on my phone and would like to receive alerts and notifications only if I receive mail on my personal account. Is there a way to set this up?

  • Can you customize iCal to show only one kind of Entry. Work vs Home?

    I use iCal for work and home..is there way to just view HOME and Work separately? Like a filter.
    I don't want to see work stuff on the Calendar at home, since I have a ton of work stuff in my calendar, some of the personal entries get lost in my view.
    So I'd love a way to see "HOME ONLY" entries.
    I imported my Calendar information, synced it from Yahoo...so all the entries are CALENDAR..I'd like to convert them to Work or OFFICE in order to filter them.

    Sorry, wrong forum...reposted to the Windows forum.

  • Ical sync issue: only one way

    I had installed the ios 5 on my iphone and the updates for my macbook pro for icloud they synced up fine. I just added my imac to the mix and I'm having issues with the syncing. If I place an event on my macbook it will push to the other devices (iphone & imac), however the events (old and new) that are on my Imac won't push to the other devices.
    The ical on my Imac has been my parent calendar so it has the major events I want to sync.
    Im not sure why its just one way? can anybody offer some advice

    Fixed it. In case anybody else has this issue or simular. uncheck the calendar option in the icloud prefs, then check it back on. A little to simple.

  • Only one phone at a time works with two socket ext...

    I have BT infinity 2 and a BT smartphone. I wanted to have a second phone. So I bought a BT Telephone Socket Doubler/Splitter.
    I plugged it in to the master socket, then the BT Smartphone which worked. Then I added the BT Freestyle 750 extension phone.
    I assumed it was working until I got an email saying my phone was constantly engaged. I took out the BT Freestyle 750 and the BT Smartphone worked again.
    The extension phone is apparently not designed to be the main phone, so could that be something to do with it?
    The BT Smartphone is the most confusing I have ever used. When I make a call a message pops up giving the choice between internet and mobile. It didn't do that at first.
    Please can somebody help? I really would appreciate it. Thank you in advance xxx

    There isn't really any such thing as a master phone or an extension phone.
    I wonder if the problem is that you have two cordless phones, and their base-stations are plugged in right next to each other.  It may just be that the DECT signals from both are interfering with each other.

  • PC Suite - connect only ONE phone via Bluetooth?

    Every time I launch the PC Suite to connect MY phone via Bluetooth, every Nokia phone in the house -which was once connected to the PC Suite- gets asked to connect, many times. This is very annoying for other people who obviously have no intention of using the PC Suite at that moment.
    I just want to connect MY OWN phone via Bluetooth. Is this possible somehow?
    I know the phones can be set to connect automatically, so that they don't get nagged, but that's not a good solution. There should be an option to select which phone(s) to connect. 

    Hi,
    Is it alright to un-pair your PC's bluetooth connectivity on other phones[On rest of the phones, they can unpair bluetooth connectivity with your pc], so that they wont get connected unless and until they want to connect?

    Not tested, but something like this might do the trick. What you need to do is assign a hierarchy to the phone type codes, then choose the top one for each parent id.
    WITH phone_list
      AS ( SELECT parent_id,
                  MIN( CASE ph_type
                         WHEN 'M'  THEN 1

                         ELSE 99
                       END )  AS phone_pref
             FROM per_phones
            GROUP
               BY parent_id )

  • ICal sync between two people if only one person has a .Mac account

    Is there a way for two people to sync/edit iCal calendars if only one person has a .Mac account? I'd only want to selectively share/sync part of my iCal calendar and not the entire iCal calendar.
    Any ideas?

    I think you meant to say "merge"
    I am trying at the moment with fingers crossed.
    One has Leopard the other Tiger. I hope it works.
    Oh I turned on airplane mode and disconnected from the internet just to be sure sync doesn't get stuck.
    Asked me to resolve 6 conflicts.. that's a good sign. It is taking a long time though. I hope it won't take so long every time I go from one computer to another. Otherwise it is easier to pass the files via iChat.
    The file for address book is addressbook data in library/applicationsupport/address book
    for iCal I make an export VCal file and then on the other computer delete the calendar and import the new one.
    On the computer with Music I set it to manage manually.
    OK I think I will have to do it like that because this took forever then it said it would have to modify 836 entries on my calendar for what was almost the same file.
    The photo sync is annoying but I just turn off iPhoto when it asks to find my library (or you can make another program be the default program when you attach a camera and that program will come on then you can just quit it). I find the auto photo sync annoying as it takes so long and I would rather do that manually.

  • You may only have one phone number of this type.

    I keep getting this message when I try to update my iTunes account.
    There is only one phone number given.
    I tried changing the location (home, business, etc.) to no avail.
    I tried changing to a different phone number. Still no luck.
    I have copy/pasted this message into the Search Forum hoping to find it as an error message, but it returns no results.
    Any ideas for this would be great.
    Thanks.

    Erica:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try reentering all of you account data - delete then reenter. You might have to enter a new photo no, say your cell, save and then edit again and put in the original phone number. See if that will let you setup 1-click.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    The best way is to not share Apple IDs but also make sure under Settings & Messages on both devices that only one phone number is checked.

    Quit the Messages application by double clicking the Home button and swiping up on the Messages thumbnail.
    Reset your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if the issue is resolved.
