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.

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.

Can''t Stop Repeating iCal Event Alert!

I am receiving repeating text messages for two iCal events. I can't make them stop. They are being resent over and over again. Well over 100 times today. I've deleted the events from both the iPhone and iCal on the computer the iPhone syncs to. Nothing makes them stop. Help!

No notification for missed iCal event/alerts in Mountain Lion?

Anyone else having an annoying issue in Mountain Lion whereby iCal alerts are not showing for events that have been missed/triggered while their Mac is either asleep or occured within the timeframe while the PC is shutdown? No alerts are shown for these event following starting up the machine or resuming from sleep which they defnitiely used to do with Lion. Notification Center only seems to show future events or those occuring "now" (by design?) so right now for myself the only way to know if I have missed something is to trawl back through my days events etc manually.
I've done quite a bit of searching and found only a couple of related references on the web so it does not look widespread but any ideas as to a fix would be greatly appreciated. Upgraded from Lion to ML on a 2011 MacBook Air 11" so nothing unusual etc.
Cheers

Yes. I have ML 10.8.2 on a 2009 macbook pro. The Apple store genius was no help.
If I happen to be using my machine at the time, I'll see an alert in the upper right screen the correct amount of time before the item start. My choices are to close or snooze.
In the prior os, I could select from a number of snooze options and be reminded indefinitely. Now snooze will remind by default in 15 minutes even if the item starts the next day. Repeatedly snoozing in 15 minute intervals is dumb. Plus, if my machine is asleep, the alert will disappear at some point anyway.
If I do nothing, the alert counts down to the start time, displays 'now', and then disappears from the screen and notifications at the end time. Yet system preferences says notification alerts stay on the screen until dismissed. So even when my machine is awake, alerts still aren't persistent. Maybe it's a power nap and app issue as well? I sure won't regress os-wise. It took me weeks to recover from the last upgrade and compile a list of everytihing that went south.
I've gone low tech and keep a stack of old business cards on my desk. The backs contain all the appointments, events, and tasks I need to remember in chronological order. If an item can be postponed, I move the card to a second stack - my equivalent of indefinite snoozing while keeping the item in front of me. Periodically, I shuffle through this stack to see what I want to move to the top or act on. I'd try google calendar except from what I read on forums syncing between these apps is also problematic.

Keys won't stop repeating

Recently, as I am typing, a key will "stick" electronically, causing the key to repeat endlessly. The keyboard is a wired keyboard. I have been able to stop the repeating by disconnecting the keyboard and reconnecting the keyboard. This has occurred on two different keys at this point, and I have not found either of the keys to be truly stuck down. I have removed the keys and determined that the button underneath the key does not appear to be actually stuck down. Also because this has happened on two different keys ("e" and "t") and because unplugging and replugging in the keyboard stops the repeating, I think the problem is not a mechanical one. It has happened twice now in two days.
Does anyone have any idea what could cause this or a fix for this?

Thanks scrappynoon! I had a problem where my brand new bluetooth keyboard with my brand new iMac wound do two things:
1) At random times it would behave as though the down arrow was being held down, causing it to cycle through file lists continuously.
2) I couldn't produce a capital "I" with the left shift button. All other letters would capitalize with the left shift button, and I could capitalize the "I" with the right shift button or caps lock.
Based on your post, I pressed every "reset defaults" button I could find within the Keyboard control panel. I though, "Why not?" It didn't seemed to do anything I could see (since I hadn't even opened the control panel since I bought the Mac), however now the cycling seems to have stopped and I can now produce a capital "I" with the left shift button.
Thanks again. I was not looking forward to lugging a 27" iMac to the Mall.

All notifications Off, but calendar alerts won't stop?

I've loaned my old iPhone (3G running iOS 4.2.1 with no SIM card) to an elderly relative, just as an "iPod Touch" for ONE purpose only: to run a 24/7 web app I made that shows the time and date in super large yellow print. (It also shows the time of day in natural English, like "late morning," because AM vs. PM confuses her.) She loves it and relies on it! It solves a daily problem in her life that no clock has been able to solve. She is no longer embarassed not to know what time of day it is when people call/visit. She can now be self-reliant in a small but important way.
But it's having a problem.
She is not tech-savvy and has memory problems, so I need to keep the experience as simple as any wall clock--nothing interactive. I have turned on EVERY parental restrictriction (apps are all hidden) and moved all the Apple apps and Settings to page 2. (If she hits the Home button by accident, page 1 only has one icon--my clock. Even the Dock is empty.) I turned off locking, sleeping, and vibrating. I set the volume to zero and set ALL Notifications completely Off.
And yet... my old scheduled calendar reminders (monthly bills, rent, taxes, etc.) keep popping up! You can imagine how bad that is to someone in a (sometimes) confused state. Her clock is telling her she has to pay some bill or do something urgent! A caregiver who visits every other day dismisses the alerts (about 1 per week) but it's still a problem. Sometimes her vision is good enough to actually read the alerts if she gets close, and regardless, the alerts block the clock display.
Even worse, if she ever accidentally touches the screen, the alert might send her into the calendar app which would be utterly confusing. If that happens even once, she will be sure she has broken it. She'll blame herself, and this clock that is such a relief and comfort to her will become a source of fear and stress, just like her microwave and her cordless phone. Technology terrifies her, and even other wall clocks have been a problem. (She always thinks electrical devicses are interfering with each other--like thinking that she has lost some of her TV channels because she hit the wrong button on her phone, or thinking her fridge is ruining the food because the microwave clock started blinking.)
Any thoughts? Why would it still be showing calendar alerts?
I live in another state entirely, so I'm hoping this is something simple that I can talk the caregiver though on the phone. (Deleting calendar events manually, say, or wiping and reinstalling the phone, would be last resorts--those would have to wait until I next visit in person.)
TIA!

I have just tested this on my own device and discovered that even with notifications in the Notifications Centre turned off, if you have alerts set in the calendar entry they will still display and bleep on the screen. You may need to go into the entries that are appearing on her device and remove the alert.

ARDAgent - Application Firewall: allow incoming connections alert won't stop

Hello,
after having updated Remote Desktop Client from 3.8 to 3.8.2, users have to allow (or deny) incoming connections within the Firewall settings
WHENEVER starting the /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app, especially when logging in or starting the /Applications/Remote\ Desktop.app (Admin)
ALTHOUGH
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app is locked in the Firewall Settings AND/or
"Automatically allow signed Software to receive incoming connections" is checked (enabled)
When switching to a standard user (not an admin), he also can/must allow or deny - and the Firewall Settings are modified correspondingly.
My questions are so far:
Why the existing Firewall Setting does not affect when (re-)starting the ARDagent.app-deamon?
Is the ARDagent.app (since Version 3.8.2) not a signed software?
This kind of attitude occurs for OS X 10.10.1 _and_ OS X 10.10.2.
Many thanks for any approach to overcome the problem and kind regards from Munich (GER).

I was fighting with this 'till now.
This is what I did:
Remove ARDagent.app from /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement
Remove it from the list in Firewall preferences.
Disable Firewall.
Reboot.
Install OSX 10.10.2 combo-update.
Reboot.
Add manually the ARDagent.app to the Allowed Rules in Firewall from /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement
Enable Firewall.
Update to ARD Client v3.8.2 v1.1 from the App Store.
Reboot.
Here, the annoying firewall message has gone. I hope it will work for you too.
I know it's a bit raw and it can be done in a more sophisticated way... But I have no time to deal with this kind of sh*t!
Cheers.

ICal Events not Repeating!

Greetings everyone,
For a while back (in January 2005), I started an event that I set for repeat every month and stop after 12 times, since then I upgraded to Tiger (a week after Tiger was launched)...
This event was repeating itself till October, but i can't find it repeating in November or December, and to the best of my knowledge, I haven't updated iCal or anything for some time now (2 months or so...)
Also when I got back to January, and re-entered the repeating conditions, it still isn't repeating in these two months...
Any ideas?
Thousand thanks in advance...

Continuing alerts for iCal Events after canceling

Hello everyone,
I suspect what I'm about to describe is a bug, but hopefully I'm wrong and there is a setting for this. For any iCal Events I have, which are typically listed as all day events, I get continual reminder notifications even after CANCELLING. Anyone seeing this? Is there a way to stop it or do you think this is a bug.
FYI, I do have calendar turned on for iCloud, but not reminders. This happens on both my Macbook Pro and my iMac.

OK...I've found the culprit and an easy workaround. First, Desktop Manager for Mac is the problem. If you set any event alert reminders in iCal to "Message and Sound" you'll get both the message and the sound on your Mac, but Desktop Manager for Mac mangles this somehow when the event is synched to the BB. The event makes it over, but when the event is selected on the BB and opened, the alert is set to "None".
To fix this, simply change all event alert reminders in iCal to "Message" (without the sound) and re-sync using Desktop Manager now the events on your BB have the same alert parameters as in iCal and their alerts now popup when scheduled and they have an audible sound.
Come on, RIM...Mac users deserve better than this. It took you 12 years to get us a real (well almost real) Desktop Manager, so now give it the same features as you provide in the Windows Desktop Manager. But since I know nothing in this forum ever makes it to RIM...we'll have to hope they figure this out on their own.

Calendar alert post-Mavericks installation won't stop chiming

Installed Mavericks yesterday over Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and have had a host of problems that have paralysed my computer use. As someone who's not particularly tech-savvy and relies on their Mac for their living, this has been a nightmare. The most irritating problem has been that I use the glass chime for my calendar alert. Well, it won't stop ringing--it's like a button's depressed and stuck in that position. Can anyone help? It renders the audio unusable now, which means no VOIP calling or audio of any kind as I'm forced to keep it on mute. And I can't find anything on the Internet that indicates anyone else has had the same problem. Can anyone help? (And no idea if this is connected but my mouse is fluttering all over the place, which is yet another annoyance, leaving me wondering why I was so stupid as to upgrade.)
Thanks!!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Calendar 7.0 does not alert me on monthly repeating events

SInce upgrading to an Intel Core i5 desktop running OS 10.9.2, my calendar does not alert me
to monthly repeating events. Especially irritating because I rely on it to pay my bills on time.
Checking settings today, I notice that Alerts is only set to my iCloud account. But both
iCloud and my email are listed under 'accounts.'
After resetting alerts to 'I tried switching off the iCloud account but on reopening
Calendat it defauled to iCLoud again. I tried switching off iCloud but then ALL my
Calendar listings disappeared! So obviously my Calendar sits on iCloud but refuses
to alert me to monthly events.
Help!
Thanks,
Ramon

I just successfully created an event called "Good Saturday" for today (Saturday). It was not a day long event - only an hour long event.
I created a "Good Saturday" day long event for next Saturday and that succeeded.
So I conclude the issue you are seeing must be with the calendar account(s) you are using.
I also run the same build of calendar you have.

How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?

How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?
When an event is about to begin, the mail app opens and I'd like to turn that off since I don't use the mail app.
Thanks!

Hi
This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

ICal on macbook pro won't sync iCal events from iPhone 5

I've synced/backed up my iPhone 5 with iTunes within the past hour.
After it finished, I went onto iCal on my macbook pro and saw that it didn't have events my iPhone 5 had.
So then I went to settings and changed the iCloud settings so that it would back up iCal.
But even after that, it took too long to back up and it failed at backing it up.
So I googled how long iCloud takes to back up and realized that the more I had for it to back up, the longer it takes.
Now I'm down to 500-something mb for iCloud to back up. It's still taking a long time.
THEN I googled to see if anyone else has had any problems with syncing iCal.
There was one person who deleted iTunes 11.0.1 and downgraded to the 10 version.
Is there any way for me to sync/backup my iCal on my macbook pro with iCal events from my iPhone 5, vice versa?
(Other than downgrading, if there is one)

Your signature says you have 10.3.x but presumably this can't be correct - could you please make sure it's correct to prevent confusion. 10.7.2 is required for iCloud - your Mac won't be able to sync with pre-Lion systems.
The fact that you have iCloud accounts showing does suggest you have Lion: are they showing in System Preferences>iCloud, or where? You can only enter one there.
Are the two different or the same? You could try deleting both and then starting the setup again from scratch.

ICal events automatically changed my alert time.

The events I have scheduled in iCal started alerting me today. I looked in my calendar and found that all of my events had an alert scheduled for "at time of event." I never had my events alerts turned on. I checked back several months and forward several months, and the were all on, in addition to that, I found that when I changed the alert to "none," it didn't prompt me to change all future events. So, I would have to go through and change every event. Not going to happen. Any body else have this issue? Any fixes?

This is most likely due to the clocks changing at the end of the month. Events before the clocks change will be ok, events after will be one hour out
This is just a limtation in the way iSync & Sony Ericsson phones handle the clocks changing.
When the clocks do change just adjust the daylight savings setting in the phone and re-sync. All future events will be correct until the next clocks change in 6 months.

ICal event alerts won't stop repeating
