Ical and alerts

I know about multiple alert on an event, but I wanted to know if there's a way to have multiple alerts on EVERY event I create.What I want is that when I create an event, by default, there would be an alert 1h before the event, 30min before, 15min and 5min.
Can we? And if it's not possible, add that in the next update please!

my problem is that each time I set up manually an alert in Ical, when I press the bottom apply it cancels my alert settings. so it is impossible for me to set any alert for Ical. Someone can help me, please?  Thank you,

  • I am trying to download a calendar into ical and keep getting this message-Some of the events in this calendar have alerts that open files or applications.  What am I doing wrong???

    I am trying to download a calendar into ical and keep getting this message-Some of the events in this calendar have alerts that open files or applications. Remove alerts or cancel 
    What am I doing wrong or missing??

    I have this same problem in October of 2013. I am unable to import .ics files into Lion that I exported from my Snow Leopard MacBookPro without losing all of my future events (which all have alerts attached). All of the events from BEFORE today's date are successfully importing, presumably because they are no longer expected to trigger alerts via Apple Mail. After my first unsuccessful attempt, I learned that iCal was communicating with iCloud by default. I have since turned off iCloud, but I have not found a solution to the problem. Harvey

  • Google cal and iCal, weird alert settings!?

    Hi,
    I'm using a Google calendar in/through iCal (on Mac OSX Lion - the problem existed under Snow Leopard as well though) and everything works fine except that the Google calendar seems to automatically create two weird and quite annoying alerts for the events as well!? I always have to manually set these alerts to 'none' in order to get rid of them.
    This does not happen with normal iCal calendars nor with Exchange calendars.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you very much,
    Jerome

    THANK YOU  THANK YOU  THANK YOU!!!
    Didn't realize "default" alerts on the Google Calendar side would transfer to iCal as multiple alerts AND an email alert.
    Is there a way (maybe from the terminal) to go through one's iCal and programmatically remove all Email alerts from existing events/appointments?  I know I might be pushing my luck here...

  • ICal sync- alert says will delete all past entries- Yes, I have my Keep Appointments set to "forever" AND I've tried changing the date range in desktop mgr- HELP

    I just did the update for the software on the 8530.  This is a new problem since the update.  I cannot lose my old entries, so I am unable to sync at all now until Blackberry addresses this bug.
    I have read through all of the "fixes" but none of them work.
    My Keep Appointments setting has always (and I verified is still) set to "forever"
    I went into the advance settings on the MAC desktop software from Blackberry and tried changing the date range to the suggested 14 days past and 365 days future.  I even tried changing the past days parameter to "1" in hopes it would simply ignore old entries... It still wants to delete 435 past entries.
    I have to keep these.
    Help, Blackberry!  Your "update" to the software is overriding my settings and has made the sync function unusable.

    Christina,
    Thanks for the reply. I unchecked all calendars in iCal and synced and it still gave me the same notice. So then I went into the iTunes window and checked the sync only certain calendars box (instead of the all calendars box) and left all the calendars unchecked and clicked apply but when I click on sync it automatically reverts to all calendars.
    When you say you unchecked all calendars did you mean in iCal? And what did you have your iCal settings at in your iTunes sync window?
    I appreciate your help,
    Andrea

  • I'can't synchronize iCal and my w810i...

    Hi all !
    I saw that a lot of person have a problem with iSync/w810i/osX.4.6... But for me (osx.4.8), I can use isync for contact and task.
    It's really great.
    But for calendars...
    After a synchronization, I don't see events in my phone. The calendar in my phone is empty, but I have a lot of events in my iCal's calendar ! If I try to create an event in my phone, after a synchronization, this event is remove from the phone, and it doesn't appear in iCal !...
    Why ?
    I watch the iSync's history, and I see that iSync copy only 5 events from iCal to the empty calendar in my phone (I have 50 events in iCal), and in the same take, iSync remove 5 events from my phone !
    Why ?!
    iCal's data are corrupted ?

    Damned !!! It works !!!
    Thanks !
    I reset all my config, and make only 2 events in "Travail". I choose the "Erase data on device then sync option from the phone first sync", and sync.
    In the calendar in my phone, I have nothing, and in the iSync's history, I have:
    14:53:10 [Mac -> TelToto] Modification des événements du calendrier : 2 ajouté(s), 0 modifié(s) et 0 supprimé(s)
    (In english: Events modification in calendar: 2 added, 0 modified, and 0 removed)
    After, I reset sync history, and re-sync.
    I have an alert, because iSync want to add an event in iCal from the phone. Now in iCal I have 3 events. An event is duplicated from the first day to the second day.... hum... hum... And in my phone... nothing appear !
    And... I saw that I have a problem with the year... In my phone, the calendar was in 2006, and iCal in 2007...!!!
    Now, all is right !

  • ICal event alerts won't stop repeating

    After the update to Lion 10.7.3, I get hourly repeating alerts from iCal. I've dismissed them but they keep on coming. And the list of the alerts keeps expanding each day. iCal is also repeating past alerts in the list. In addition, the alerts pop up with the Submarine sound, which I also cannot turn off. Needless to say, these hourly interruptions are very annoying. I've applied the Combo Update to try to fix the problem and looked for a solution in iCal and in the system but there isn't anything showing that tells me how to stop the issue.
    Imagine trying to record audio and have one of these alerts pop up, as I have experienced. Not only does it cause a glitch in the recording, it also adds the sound to it. I turned off Alerts in the Sound preferences and that didn't help.
    There seems to be no discussions with this problem recently.

    Taking one for the team and on the phone with AppleCare right now. I'll try to take good enough notes to post back here. If nothing else, I'll see if I can post the support notes as documented by the rep as soon as it's published:
    On the phone with second person who is taking notes before transfering me to a third. While I'm waiting, thought I'd share what the first person had me do.Note that this did NOT fix this or any of what I suspect are Finder issues but it can help with some system wide glitches. In any case, it can't hurt:
    Reset PRAM. This is easy.
    1. Shut down your computer completely.
    2. Turn it back on and immediately, hold down the Control, Option, P and R keys.
    3. You will hear the usual chime.
    4. Keep holding them down until you hear it chime a second time and then let go.

  • ICal sync, alerts fail

    Is this behaviour by design?
    I'm just using native Apple calendar applications with my iPhone 3G and an iMac with Snow Leopard, i.e. not Google calendars or MobileMe.
    What seems to be happening is that when I wake my iPhone, to do anything (such as let's say to use email or to open some photos), the wallpaper screen with the slider on it has an iCal item or two on it. I didn't wake the phone to use iCal and I'm busy with what I'm doing, so I just slide the slider and go about my work.
    However, since I got my iPhone a couple of months ago, I'm missing all sorts of alerts back on my iMac.
    I wonder if what's happening is that:
    i) by waking my iPhone with the slider, I'm implicitly acknowledging the alerts, and they are now considered to have been have "viewed";
    ii) then later I work with my iMac and defer some of the alerts (such as "show again in 1 day");
    iii) then later I sync my iPhone and my iMac;
    iv) and somehow the iMac doesn't register a conflict, but just forges ahead with no longer showing the alerts from my iPhone - alerts which I really didn't pay attention to and didn't deal with.
    This matters a great deal because I depend heavily on iCal as a scheduler and reminder.
    So, are my suspicions correct? Is the behaviour by design? If so, is there a workaround?
    I really cannot just disable iCal syncing, because I'm using it frequently from both the iPhone and the iMac.
    Thank you.
    Charles
    P.S. Pardon me as usual if this has already been answered - if so, I can't find it.

    continuation of question:
    the error message reads:
    "itunes could not sync calendar to the iphone "..." because the sync server failed ot sync the iPhone."
    how do I remedy or fix the sync server?

  • ICal continually alerts me even when an event is passed

    About every hour of so I get iCal popping up and alerting me of the same events even when they're passed.
    This is in a standard user account if that changes anything.  I have repaired permissions too.
    Any ideas?

    I have the same problem,  Alerts disappear after my invitation is accepted.
    MacOS 10.7.4 with all software up to date.

  • Revert to prior program after an iCal event alert.

    Is there a setting available for the iPod Touch to automatically revert back to the program being used before an interruption from an iCal event alert?

    I have a Logitech app that turns my iPod Touch into a mouse for my G5. It is very nice. However if I get an alert from iCal and I need to go into iCal to reschedule I have to exit iCal then re-launch the Logitech app. I have not tried ignoring the alert yet. It would be preferable to enter iChat then get back to the Logitech app without having to re-launch it.
    Thanks for your reply.

  • I prefer Outlook for iCal email Alerts. Any help?

    I was able to get iCal email alerts to SEND via Entourage on a previous computer, instead of Mail, but now I want to use Outlook for it's superior Rule tests. And I can't seem to make iCal use anything other than Mail to SEND alerts.  Any suggestions?
    MBP, OS 10.7.4, iCal 5.0.3, Outlook 14.2.0, (Mail 5.3)

    That's an Outlook issue. You'll probably get better responses posting on the Office for Mac forums.

  • ICal's Alert feature has gone Ballistic!

    Upon start up, the Alert window opens an empty window, then starts re-sending hundreds of old iCal email alerts. the Alert feature re-starts Mail after quitting Mail. It's brought my PB G4 to it's knees. HELP Please!! Is there a way to toss the email alert feature from the iCal program or reinstall just iCal OR is there a virus at work here?
    Thank YOU!

    Darci
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?

  • Integrating reminders and iCal and more?

    i have recently realized that it would be helpful for me to tie a reminders-type-list to a calendar-based-display.
    and while i see that i can set a "reminder" in Reminders so that this shows up on some day as an alert i am wondering if there is a way to find some software that woudl have a tighter integration with iCal so that i could see a list by priority that was cross referenced with a calendar that is obviously chronological.
    am i missing something in Reminders app?
    anyone doing this with Notational Velocity and/or Simplenote?
    TIA

    I have to totally agree, you said it well. It's not just you.
    SO what's the point of reminders on my iPhone or iPad? I make an appointment in iCal and then have to reenter it agin in reminders to make the reminder?
    IT totally works on my laptop - makes sense.
    BUt not on other devices - kinda useless and unproductive.
    I was really hoping to use Reminders with all the hype but it's just a duplication of entries.

  • ICal and Windows Calendar to sync

    I have Windows Calendar on Vista, and iCal on Leapord (10.5.3), and would like to sync all itmes in both, across Work and Home calendars. They are both on my home network, and would ideally like this sync to take place as soon as an item is added (i.e check if other computer is networked, if so, go ahead, and alert me if there is another appointment at the same time on another calendar which hasn't had tiem to sync).
    Is there a built in feature, or am I looking to do the impossible.

  • Linking multiple emails to a single event in ical and/or to do's

    Hi:
    Often I receive emails and I want to link them to an event in ical. OS X does this just fine as long as there is date in the email that OS X can recognize. The problem is sometimes I get multiple emails relating to the same event and I would like to be able to link all of those emails to one single event in ical. My same questions applies to 'to do' items.
    And a follow up question--say I receive an email that has no date explicit in the text-I've tried to find some function that would allow me to schedule a new event in ical and would link that email to it. (I hope that all makes sense) I'm open to whatever solution I'll even pay money for 3rd party software if anyone knows of a good program. But I"m looking to stick to the basic ical interface. Any suggestions?

    Hi rtwigg,
    seems this is one of visio graphics limitation regarding the external data.
    visio graphics, may only support for one row.
    you may consider this idea :
    "It is a good idea to separate your rows into visual units so that you have everything you need and nothing else in a single row. To link a shape to a data row, simply drag the row from the external data window and drop it on the shape. A default data
    graphic should immediately appear next to the shape displaying some data from the row. From here you are able to customize the graphic to fit your needs"
    by means, you may need to use the visio client.
