Ical message alarm pops up randomly

Out of the blue, the iCal message alarm constantly pops up randomly with no message. It doesn't show an event but instead it's blank so it's not reminding me of anything I have. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
Thanks.

There was something similar to this recently. It turned out that the problem was caused by setting an alarm on a ToDo, then having a change of mind and unchecking the due date on the ToDo without first removing the alarm. If this could be the case for you, find the ToDo and delete it.

  • ICal for 10.4.11 - NO ALARM SET BUT EVERY TIME ICAL LAUNCHES ONE POPS UP!!

    That's pretty much it. Every time I launch iCal an alarm pops up with no text in it, and there's no sound - just the small alarm window. This was happening before on a friend's computer, so this is the 2nd time I've seen this glitch. It just started happening recently and I've had this laptop for several years now. *ANNOYING! PLEASE HELP!*

    I just discovered the same problem. Watching the processes, I saw that java was consuming CPU in a runaway fashion.
    I suspect that the JavaVM is the culprit. I decided to use an older version because this problem happened only recently after the Release 6 update of Java.
    I found that /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current pointed to the A directory which had a date approximately that of when I did the Java update.
    I renamed the Current link to Current.old and created a new link pointing back to the preceding directly like this:
    ln -s 1.5.0 Current
    After doing that, the blogging system is acting stable and Java is not consuming runaway amounts of CPU.

  • My phone will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I retype the password it says it is wrong. It will eventually work but I have to wait for a message to pop up on my screen to allow me to retype the wifi password.

    When I first got my phone it worked perfectly fine with the wifi. Although later on I began to have problems connecting it. It will randomly disconnect from the wifi and when I try to retype the password it tells me it is wrong, although it is right. It will eventually work but in its own time, a message will pop up and allow me to type in the password and it will work. But sometimes it takes an hour or more and sometime it takes 10 minutes. I've seen where other people have had this problem but I don't know how to fix it. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my phone or if it's with my wifi. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Does this happen with all Wi-Fi hotspots?  A specific one?
    Have you tried forgetting the Wi-Fi connection and then reconnecting to it?
    What about power cycling the Wi-Fi router?

  • ICal setting default message alarm for all events

    I want to change when I get message/alarms for all events (birthdays, etc.) from 2 days before to 4 days before. I find that I can only change this for single events (e.g., a specific person's birthday rather than all persons' birthdays). Is there a way to change the default so that I get my warning alarm message for all events 4 days in advance instead of 2 days?

    I miss appointments b/c of this too.
    And no, Apple does not read these forums UNLESS you comment on how pathetic and Mickey Mouse certain elements of their software is - like no 'default' setting for alarms in iCal, and not being able to resize windows from all edges (vs. the little annoying corner) etc etc.
    I hope they fix it with the new software package in Leopard. I'm somewhat afraid it's going to be 'Leper' at first though. We'll see...

    I am having this problem too...and also I (most of the time) can't invite anyone on my google apps domain to a meeting. WEIRD! HELP!!! I just switched to Mac from PC...this was supposed to be EASY!

    1) The request for “Test Appointment” in “[email protected]” in account “yyyy.com Google” failed.  The server responded with “400” to operation CalDAVScheduleEventQueueableOperation. *My google calendar *IS* updated despite the error, but the appointment is greyed out on my calendar.

    Also, when I try to invite people to appointments, iCal adds random attendees and frequently will not add an attendee if they are in my domain. HELP.

  • Unwanted "Message" alarm on all-day events -- why?

    I wish to create an all-day event with an email alarm. When I create the event, I enter the alarm title, check "all-day", and change the default alarm from "Message with sound" to "Email" (which defaults to "11:45 PM the day before". So the event contains only this email alarm, as I intend. After I click "Done", if I then go back and inspect this event, I find that it now has 2 alarms at the same "11:45 PM the day before", the email one I set up and a "Message with sound".
    (I shouldn't need to, but) I can then edit this event to remove the "Message" alarm, but why was it added in the first place? It wasn't there when I created the event.

    Jerry,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I would check iCal>Preferences...>General> to determine what your setting is in "Add a default alarm to all new events and invitations."

  • Iphone 6 "other errors" message keep popping out

    Hi, my phone keep getting this error and it keep pops up randomly and i will have to press the "dismiss" button every time it pops up. This message does not give me any details on what errors i'm having with my phone and I have no idea what causing it since I only purchase my phone recently and updated to 8.1.2. Is there any available fix?  Please help. Thank you.

    This is an overview of what data is being stored in that section:
    Note the category at the end called "Other." What is "Other?" iTunes has 8 standard data categories listed in the Data Bar of iTunes. They are called Apps, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Books, Photos, and Info. Basically, anything stored on your iDevice that cannot fit into one of those 8 categories is categorized as "Other." This includes:
    Browser cache
    Mail cache
    Mail messages
    Mail attachments
    Safari's Reading List
    iTunes Backups
    Crud resulting from jailbreaking your iDevice
    Game data
    Saved data files
    Call history
    Notes
    Media
    Voice memos
    copied from What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
    So, if your backup contained such data, it will be moved again to this location on the new phone after you restored it from the backup. In addition to that, something else must be going on with your data, because the section is expanding, as you said earlier. This looks like something is being processed over and over again, without any outcome. Did you check the usage and the apps listed in Settings/General/Usage and see if any of the apps listed is almost constantly using the battery?

  • Calendar Group Message keeps popping up

    I just started seeing a random message that pops up on my screen.  It says:
    "Calendar: Share with Group? Yes/No"
    It pops up even when I am not in my Calendar and even when I say no, it takes a minute before the message goes away.  It is extremely annoying!
    How can I permanently get rid of this message so it does not ask me again?
    I have a Blackberry 8330 Curve.

    I was having the same problem, and found this on a related thread. It worked for me.
    1. Quit Apple Mail. It cannot be running for this procedure.
    2. Click the Finder icon in your Dock. This will open a new file browser window.
    3. Go to the Library folder.
    4. Go to the Mail folder.
    5. Find the folder named [email protected] [email protected] should be the email address that you are having problems with.
    6. Move this folder to another location on your hard drive. Do not delete this folder in case there is a problem and you need to restore it.
    7. Open Apple Mail and it will now re-download all email from the IMAP server and rebuild your IMAP cache. This can take a while depending on how much mail is in your account.
    This means that the problem was likely not with Gmail, but probably with the IMAP cache.

  • How do I get Firefox to display the information bar when a pop up is blocked I accidentally clicked on "Don't show this message when pop-ups are blocked" when a pop up was blocked. How do I get this message to reappear again when a pop up is blocked?

    I just updated Firefox but can't get it to display the message when a pop-up is blocked. Most times I want them blocked but sometimes I need them enabled.

    You can see a pop-up block icon in the right corner of the Status Bar if you have chosen to hide the information bar at the top.
    You can left-click that pop-up block icon on the Status Bar and remove the check mark from "Don't show info message when pop-ups are blocked"
    You can look at these prefs on the '''about:config''' page and reset them via the right-click context menu:
    Status bar icon: browser.popups.showPopupBlocker
    Info bar at the top: privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • When I am using Premiere elements 13 I get a message that pops up "that there is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive", this also happened 3 months ago How can I get rid of this again?

    When I am using Premiere Elements 13 I get a message that pops up "There is no disk in the drive" I click on it and it keeps coming back "very annoying", but about three months ago it happened to me and I was told to change the file name from OldFilm.AEX  to OldFilm.AEXold. Well now the file is back in Folder OldFilm.AEX. Here is a screen shot the files are highlighted.What should I do now to correct this once and for all, or can I? Thank you for your time.

    TomWolves
    I would do another rename to disable or just delete all the OldFilm.AEX and OldFilm.AEXOLD in that NewBlue Folder.
    If you do, please let me know if that OldFilm.AEX regenerates itself the next time you open Premiere Elements 13.
    Here is the strange story...at least from my Premiere Elements 13 Windows perspective...never had the No Disc error issue
    Here are some details to sort through trying to figure out why you have 2 OldFilm.AEX file in the NewBlue Folder.
    1. The original OldFilm.AEX file of Premiere Elements 13 has the date of 9/4/2014 (just before the version was released on 9/24/2014).
    After the 13.1 update is done (whenever date), that OldFilm.AEX file has the date of 1/31/2015. I first saw notification of the 13.1 Update
    release early in February 2015.
    2. Now in Premiere Elements 13.1, if I take my OldFilm.AEX (date 1/31/2015) and disable it by renaming it to OldFilm.AEXOLD, close out of there, and reopen
    the program, the OldFilm.AEX is not seen to regenerate. The OldFilm.AEXOLD remains there as its lone self.
    3. So, I am thinking that your OldFilm.AEXOLD in the screenshoot is "original equipment" that you disabled to get rid of No disc error.
    Why the OldFilm.AEX is there also is not clear, but the dating on it suggests that it came along with the 13.1 Update.
    Bottom line: let us try the deletion or disabling one more time and see what happens.
    Looking forward to further reports on your findings, as your time permits.
    Thanks.

  • I'm trying to share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I have tried several times to save at 1080 HD, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying "File already open with write permission."  What's this mean?

    I'm trying to finalize/share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I'd like to finalize it 1080 hd and have tried several times, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying it can't be done because "File already open with with write permission."  What does this mean?  All files are closed; this iMovie project is the only thing open.  Does it mean one of the song files from iTunes? And should I just settle for saving it as a "large" file, which is what I'm trying right now?
