ICal on iPhone creates alerts for synched events.

I've been having this issue for a while, and haven't found any solution as of yet. I use iCloud to synch my calendars from my MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion to my iPhone 4S. When events are synched to my phone, for some reason, they all automatically get an alert one day before the event, which I would really like to remove but I have a lot of events and it's a huge pain to manually go through and remove them all. Is there any way to remove these alerts? I've scoured all the settings (to my best knowledge) on both my phone and my computer and I have all default alerts turned off but I can't seem to find it. I sent the calendars to the people in my classes and they have the same issue with alerts appearing on their iPhones and iPads.

I have the same problem with alerts coming up one day before even though every preference and every event has alerts turned off. This started within the last week. The two major things I did was: upgraded an iPhone to ios 6 and upgraded one of my macs to lion, which started merging calendar events and contacts (creating a rogue contact with hundreds of emails and phone numbers, but that's another story).
I have seen it before that when you add a new OS feature, the default preferences sometimes don't act like the default. So I just went into the new lion's calendar preferences Alerts tab and deliberately changed the Events from None to 1 day before (the current bad behavior) Use these default alerts only on this computer is turned off. I then checked that the change propagated to another mac and then set Events back to None. I'm hoping this will force the change to go to the ios devices as well.
If it doesn't, then what I will try is to go into each of my ios devices and do a similar thing: go into notification center for calendar and turn on alterts, then leave notifications, return to notifications and switch back to either banners or none.
If that still doesn't work then I would delete each event that is alerting the day before and re-create them, to see if that helps.

IOS 7 Calendar alerting for past events

Has anyone else experienced this ...
At 9:30 this morning (03-Oct) I got an alert for an event from last week (26-Sep).
Then at 10:00 I got an alert for another event from last week (26-Sep).
Upon examining the events, I saw the alerts set as:
9:30 event – alert 1 = one week before
10:00 event – alert 1 = 1 day before, alert 2 = 1 week before
After upgrading to iOS7 I set the default calendar alert to "1 week before" – that might explain why the second event's alert 2 is set earlier than alert 1.
But it doesn't explain the "you were supposed to be doing this last week" alert popping up.
Any thoughts (other than some date arithmetic gone awry)?

iPilot1 - after I upgraded to iOS 7.0.3 I got an even bigger surprise - the default alert time for any new event I created was "7 days after". I kid you not. At the top of the list of options, before "None".
However I just went back to the Calendar settings to check the default alert time, and nothing was ticked.
I chose "1 week before", and Hey Presto, new events default to "1 week before".
Of course, I won't know this has worked for sure until I get an alert.

Have problem setting Email alerts for Calendar events. Warning message says I need to set up a card in Contacts with my email. I do but it doesn't recognize it. How do I indicate the email I want alerts sent to?

The system of setting up email alerts for Calendar events worked fine in Snow Leopard but since I upgraded to Mt. Lion Calendar won't let me set email alerts. When I try, I get an error message saying I need to set up a card in Contacts for my email. I have a card set up in Contacts for both of my email addresses but it doesn't recognize them. Perhaps the name I have on the card doesn't match a name that Calendar is looking for. Calendar doesn't seem to have a way in Preferences or elsewhere to indicate the email I want alerts sent to. Any ideas how I can get this system working again? Thanks for your help.

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
See if another contact is marked as this is my card.

Alerts for recurring events in iCal no longer display on iPhone after iOS5 upgrade

That pretty much says it. I have a daily meeting in my iCal, with two alarms set, one for 15 minutes before and one for 5 minutes before. The alerts no longer display on my phone after the upgrade. (They appear on my Mac no problem.) Has anyone else seen this problem? I have notifications turned on for iCal , set to Alerts. Tried badges, tried turning notifications off then on, to no avail. It doesn't display for recurring events that were in my calendar before the upgrade and for those created after the upgrade. I don't seem to have a problem with regular i.e. non-recurring events. Doesn't seem to matte also if it is the default calendar or a different calendar either. (I tried Reminders and that worked fine, but I don't want to have type all of my recurring events in to iCal and then in to Reminders as well....)
Thanks very much

I'm having the same problem on my iMac (works on a different phone on my MBP). I restored the iphone and no dice. I'm also constantly getting a beach ball... Hope someone out there knows a workaround.

Can you set alerts specific for different calendars so when you create an event, the alert for the event is already set?

On google calendar if you had a calendar for work and one for school, you can set alerts for earch so when you add a class or work related event, the event is set with alerts for that calendar. Can you do that with iCal?

Hi Steven,
This is one of the reasons why I wrote Dates to iCal.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries.

How do you get alerts for expired events after iCal starts?

Hello,
If this has been covered please point me to the right direction because I couldn't find it.
When I get into work I wan't to be alerted to any events that have happened between me shutting off my computer the night before and starting up my computer for that day. Currently, if I start iCal after the time the alarm is suppose to go off I will never see that event. Is there an option to show these past events when iCal starts?

I get no menu that comes up when choosing import from device, only a finder level window allowing me to choose where I want to import files from. I did have to unmount, unplug and reinsert the CF card to get the "Import from Mass Storage Device" dialog that is what comes up when a card is inserted after Lightroom is already running and visible.
The problem I am having is that 'Import from Device' is grayed out when the card is already inserted before I start Lightroom. That is why I could not choose it. Otherwise, if I go about it normally, to insert the card after Lightroom is running, the choice for "Import from Device" is not grayed out, but it doesn't matter then really because that menu comes up automatically after I insert the card.

Is there a way to set an alert for every event in a single calendar?

Hi all,
Is there a way to globally set an event in just one of the calendars showing in iCal?
For example, I have a "Birthday" Calendar with a bunch of birthday events. I want to set the alert for all of them to, say, noon, without having to edit each and every one.
Thanks!
Greg

To generally add an alarm to all events in a specific calendar you would need to program an Automator Workflow that passes all events of the calendar to an Applescript that adds the alarm.
For your birthdays problem is a predefined solution iCal: If you enter the Birthdays on the cards in your Address Book, and enable the "Show Birthdays Calendar Flag", then you will receive automatic email notifications of upcoming birthdays.

How do I set up multiple alerts for one event?

So, I'm currently using MS Exchange to sync my google calendar with my iphone5, and almost everything's working pretty nicely, events would get pushed to my phone right away as I put it on my computer. But the thing is, my phone will only alert me for the earliest alert if I had multiple alerts set up for one event on google calendar. How can I fix it? Any advice would be appreciated!

I have a similar issue with a slight twist.
I have 'My Card' setup properly, however, I do have 5 email addresses that I use and these are listed on 'My Card'. When I select the option to add an email alert on a calendar event, the app is picking up two addresses from the set of 5 and makes me pick one.
I would like to select one of the other addresses to be the default for sending out the alerts. Is there a way to do that. If it is helpful, the app is picking up 2 of the 'Work' email addresses. I don't know if the home vs work designation would make a difference.
Note: I am looking for a solution to pick one a specific address from the contact card to send out the alert email. I am NOT looking to have a discussion as to why I have 5 addresses.
Thanks

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...

Alerting for System Event 6005 on Windows 2012 R2 clients.

I am trying to figure out why an Event is not showing up in the Windows System Log except when a Filter is applied.
So, open up, on the same server (2012 R2), side-by-side, two windows showing the System Log. On the RHS window only apply a filter for Event ID 6005.
Then try and find the top 6005 Event on the LHS window (which has no filter applied). The event is not there.
What am I doing wrong?? I cannot get SCOM to trigger an alert for 6005 as the Event is not showing up on 2012 R2.
(This behavior is not occurring for Windows 2012 or 2008 R2 or 2003 R2)
Thx,

Hi
never go for event id monitor/rules for shutdown of a server, as scom agent will be stopped on shutdown and agent will not able generate alert for shutdown.
SCOM has default monitoring for Heartbeat to alert on server down
refer below link
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh212798.aspx
http://myitforum.com/myitforumwp/2013/05/03/scom-heartbeat-failure-alert-tuning-2/
http://blogs.technet.com/b/jonathanalmquist/archive/2010/01/11/health-service-heartbeat-failure-diagnostics-and-recoveries.aspx
If the heartbeat interval is x and count is y then scom will generate alert if agent is down for x*(y-1) (example: if heartbeat interval is 120 and count is set to 3 then scom will generate alert if agent is down for 240 seconds.i.e you will never get an alert
if agent reboot <240 sec.
The port monitoring is best way to monitor serve availability.

Create alert for subscription remainder

Hi all,
could somebody share about how to create subscription alert from ECC 6.0 (i'm using IS-Media Sales and Distribution), and display alert in CRM 2007 dashboard. For example if subscription is for 1 year for w eekly magazine and remaining weeks are 4 weeks, then something in CRM or ECC triggered to create alert in CRM 2007 so sales admin will see that subscriber will remain 4 weeks (editions) in the next delivery...
thank you if someone could discuss this...
thanks...
Benyamin M.

Hi GSS1,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create an alert for a user at a list.
You can use the following PowerShell command to achieve it:
$SPsite = Get-SPSite "http://SharePointSite.com"
$SPweb=$SPsite.Rootweb
$SPlist=$SPweb.lists["Shared documents"]
$SPuser = $SPweb.EnsureUser('Domain\Salaudeen')
$SPnewAlert = $SPuser.Alerts.Add()
$SPnewAlert.Title = "My Custom Alert"
$SPnewAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::List
$SPnewAlert.List = $SPlist
$SPnewAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::Email
$SPnewAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::Add
$SPnewAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::Immediate
$SPnewAlert.Update()
$SPweb.Dispose()
$SPSite.Dispose()
Based on your health analyzer rule, you can change EventType. You can also change the DeliveryChannels option to SMS and AlertFrequenct option to Daily.
More information, please refer to the links:

Help to create a SCOM Alert for same event ID on many Windows 2008 servers

Hi all,
I 'm a newbie in SCOM and I need to create a alert with information type on 1 event ID on 2 servers. The Event ID is the same on both servers and I don't know which type of monitor I need to create. Can you help me please ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
First, should the server appear unhealthy if this event appears? If so, it should be a monitor. If not, it should be a rule (that will only give an alert).
Go to Authoring and Rules/Monitors. Set the scope to Windows Server. Create the Rule/Monitor and remove the "Enabled by default". In the event expression, use the parameters - these should be pretty straight forward.
Afterwards, override the rule/monitor for the two servers on which you wish to monitor this event.
This is pretty rough description, let me know if you need it more detailed.

ICal-MBP-iPhone-Lion-Snow Leopard synch puzzle

Any ideas about this situation?
1) Lion 10.7.4 on MBP, with iCloud System Prefs set to manage everything.
2) moved from Mobile Me to iCloud
3) iPhone 3GS with OS5.1.1, with iCloud System Prefs set to manage everything.
4) also have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on Mac Mini
Ok.
Entered 3 iCal items on MBP.
Only one of them has shown up on iCloud.com.
Only that same item has shown up on iPhone with iOs 5.1.1 (and also on my iPad).
Next.
iTunes on the Mac Mini recognizes that my bookmarks are being synced via iCloud (not a part of this story), and it reports that calendars are being synced over the air, but doesn't mention how.(Does it say that because I had Mobile Me?) Obviously, Mobile Me is closed and the Mac Mini isn't running Lion, so iCloud is not available.
So, Question 1: I've clicked SYNC CALENDARS in iTunes on the Mac Mini. Shouldn't it be grabbing that one calendar event from my iPhone and updating my Mac Minin iCal? (Do calendars synch through iTunes? Is that what the "duplication" warning is about, using Mobile Me (now iCloud ) AND syncing via iTunes?)
Qusetion 2: Why aren't those other two iCal events syncing from my MPB to iCloud and beyond?
Question 3: I have a !-triangle on my iCal on the Mac Mini. It says: "iCal can't connect to cal.me.com...". Does that make sense because Mobile Me is gone. What about the iTunes SYNC CALENDAR option. Is that independent if Mobile Me and iCloud.
I am so confused.
Thanks!!

I've been working on this.
Tried this suggested action: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar. Basically, flipped the switches on and off. Now things seem to be working, almost great.
Have created iCal events on iPhone, iPad, MBP, and icloud.com. Happily have those different evnts on each device. Cool!
The laggard is the Mac mini. Have tried syncing CALENDARS and CONTACTS via iTunes while wired together and also via WiFi, but iPhone and Mac Mini are just not talking. The new iCal event on the Mini doesn't sync to the phone nor do the new events on the phone sync to the Mini. Not listening and not talking.
Could this be an issue bewtween iOS5.1.1 and iTunes 10.6.3 and OS X 10.6.8.

Ical on Iphone error message: Cannot Save Event.

Ical states: That event does not belong to that event store...
Any ideas? I can't save any events no matter which calendar I choose. I already tried turning off Icloud from my calendar but it still won't let me add any events.

Okay I don't know what I did but I had two calendars so I jut decided to delete one both on my iPhone and Mac then I sync the iPhone again and now it seems fine... So not sure but maybe try resyncing it?

ICal on iPhone creates alerts for synched events.
