IOS 5 calendar reminders

I have a problem with my calendar reminders disappearing as soon as the event time starts. Lets say I have an event at 12p and I have the calendar app set to alert me 5 minutes before. I get the alert 5 minutes before, but if I do not look at the phone or do not hear it and then later go to the phone there is no indication that an alert happened.
In the reminders app I get something like "conf call 5 min ago) or whatever amount of time it has been. This alert stays in the notification center until I dismiss it.
I would like the alert to stayin the notification center until I dismiss it. Anyway to do this?
I'm syncing with Google calendar if that helps.

I have the same question. It's very frustrating that the calendar dismisses itself out of the notifications area without the user DISMISSING it.
Did you find a work around? I rely heavily on calendar reminders to keep me on task.

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

IPhone 6 not syncing with other devices or shared calendar, reminders etc. using same Apple ID on all devices. Any ideas?

I have just bought a new iPhone 6 and updated it from the cloud with no issues (contacts all there as well as calendars that I have set up previously, for example) but have noticed that it will not sync to new content on my iPad or MacBook or vice versa, it is now like a stand alone device. Also, shared calendars set up by somebody else don't appear and I can't share a reminders list. I am signed in using my Apple ID, the same as I am on my other devices (which all still sync with each other as normal) but it is as if the iPhone is not on the same account. I have updated my iPad to IOS 8 with no issues so probably not an iOS problem. Does anyone have any suggestions before I trek into town to see a genius?

Unfortunatley 5 GB is not necessarily a lot of space. What you should do is FIRST go into iCloud and choose what information you want turned on.
Settings >iCloud
Here you should see different Tabs that will let you select what you want to back up on your device. You have the option to back up the following data on your phone:
Mail
Contacts
Calendars
Reminders
Safari
Notes
Passbook
Photo Stream
Documents & Data
Find My iPhone
If you turn off some of these options you should free up some of your space.
Once you have backed up your device in iCloud, you can place your device in Recovery Mode in iTunes so it can be recognized.
To put phone in recovery mode: Hold down home button and power button at top of phone at the same time. Once you see the Apple on the device, CONTINUE to hold down the Home button. Plug your phone into iTunes. Do not let the Home button go until you see a message in iTunes stating that a device has been detected in recovery mode.

IOS Calendar - Google CalDAV Alerts Disappear

So I'll make this brief and succint. I have daily alerts set up in my sync'd Google calendar using the native iOS Calendar.
What happens is that I hear the noise on my device (Alert for Calendar event), but when you look at your phone or iPad, the event is gone. As some of these are daily reminders, I know what they are, so I know what I missed. I then started watching my phone during the time change. Sure enough, at the date/time of an event, I would briefly see the alert and it would disappear instantly. This is really frustrating, as at times I have other events that are not daily and those disappear too. I have to go open up the Calendar app to find out what it is. It used to be that the alert would stay up on my screen until I could dismiss/OK it.. so I didn't miss it.
I have a single Google account that I used to add 'CalDav' sync to my iPhone and iPad.
My Google account has 3 calendars (Personal, Family, Good Habits).
These 3 calendars show up, and sync properly with the Calendar app. I see them in there no problem, and it updates.
I have it set up on my iPhone (4s/iOS 6.1) and iPad 3 (iOS 6.1) the same way.
Does anybody else have problems with their Calendar Alerts disappearing from the screen?
For now, the only way I've found to resolve it is to use Google.com/calendar to set up important events to also send me an SMS. This way I at least get a solid notification I can't miss.
I would really love to have the pop-up alerts work properly though. Combing the internet has not yielded help. Using other calendar apps does not help.
Should I be using Exchange to sync my Google Calendars instead of CalDAV? As Exchange support is being dropped by Google, this is not an option.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and for any help you can lend.

I recall a couple years ago when I set it up there were limitations, I forget what they were now, to using active sync and people recommended using cardav and caldav. I have a Google Apps for Domains account that I’m using. At this point I see no reason to investigate further.
Thanks again!

Bug: Calendar Reminders

I just received my phone and am very frustrated. An earlier post questions the inability to set reminders for any chosen time period. It appears you are limited to the times in the phones drop down list. My problem is I am syncing with my Outlook calendar. Outlook allows you to set a reminder for any time period. You can enter any number of hours or any number of days or weeks for a reminder. When I synced my phone yesterday, my Outlook reminders were changed/overwritten by the phone! It appears the phone having limited options for reminders overwrote the Outlook data that didn't fit into its selections. In addition, the phone distinguishes between timed appointments and all day appointments and has different available reminders for each. Outlook doesn't really make a distinction. In the end, it seems clear the phone and Outlook do not have the same capability and are therefore not compatible. Worse yet the phone "solved" this issue by over-writing my Outlook data.

It's definitely the iOS Calendar app (and every other calendar app that uses the same database) in my case. I'm not even aware of an official Google Calendar app Do you maybe have your Google calendar setup differently (no CalDAV for instance)?
Syncing the exact same calendar and appointments on Android and Windows Phone do give me an alert the day before the repeated all-day event. On my iPhone I won't get an alert, because I've created the event last year (or in same cases years ago), so the iPhone shows the alert time the day before I've created the event. For instance yesterday I expected an alert for an repeated all-day event I've created over one year ago, but the iPhone didn't alert me and in the calendar app it shows the incorrect alert date (tuesday 29th of may, while it should be wednesday 29th of may). In all future events it keeps showing the alert on tuesday 29th of may (which refers to tuesday 29th of may 2012). On my Galaxy Nexus and Lumia 920 the notification or reminder for that event was shown without a problem.

I'm not receiving e-mail on my "New" iPad, and I want tdeleted my yahoo mail account and reinstall it. When I go to settings to delete the account, it says I will lose everything in notes, calendars, reminders, etc. Can I delete ONLY the e-mail account?

I'm not receiving e-mail on my iPad (3). I want to try deleting my yahoo mail account and reinstalling it, but when I go to settings to do this, it appears that I will lose my notes, calendars, reminders, etc. Is this right, or is there another way to do this?

Give it time. Yahoo has had persistent issues the past few weeks. wait 24 hours or so and then try again.

Recurring event times wrong by 1 hr only in iOS calendar

I just noticed that all my recurring events seemt to be one hour later in the Calendar app on my iPhone (iOS 5.1). In the iCloud calendar (on the web site) the times are correct. I don't know if this happened right after the recent "spring forward" daylight savings time change, or right after the update to iOS 5.1.
All my other events are showing the correct time. Only the recurring events are shifted one hour to the future in the iOS calendar.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? Any ideas for a fix?
(And, before you ask, my iPhone has the correct time zone setting and is configured to automatically set the time; and I haven't left my timezone in over two months.)
Dave Hein

I found the problem. When the tasks were initially created, I did not have Time Zone Support turn on in iCloud (the website) or on my iPhone or in iCal on my Mac. The events were all created over the winter, not during daylight savings time.
I turned on Time Zone support in iCloud, on my iPhone, and in iCal. That did not fix the problem. But I noticed that, in iCloud, when I turned on Time Zone support, the initial time zone it selected was "Central Standard Time". But I'm now in Central Daylight Time; so I tried setting the time zone (using the little popup map widget is tricky!) and found I could also set the Time Zone to "Central Time" -- no 'daylight' or 'standard' distinction. So I set it to Central Time.
Still no joy. But then, still in iCloud Calendar, I double clicked on one of the offending events and in the set of properties display was now a Time Zone property ... and it was still set to Central Standard Time. So I went into each event that was at the wrong time and changed the time zone from Central Standard Time to Central Time.
My guess it that "Central Time" is a time zone designation that means it will automatically switch between standard time and daylight savings time.
So, everything is working again. Hope this helps someone.

Exchange iOS calendar sync 4 cancellations & accepted meetings

Using corporate Exchange 2010 servers for calendar and email me and my co-workers experience the following annoyance.
When a meeting in outlook is cancelled and this is accepted using the windows client, the cancelled meeting is still shown in de ios calendar. It is noted cancelled using strikethrough, but it still clutters my calendar. As my calendar is a battlefield these cancellations make it hard to see which meetings I do have... How can I change this behaviour?
Similarly for accepted meetings, these (with cancellations aswell) remain unprocessed in my ios calendar tray while I allready accepted or rejected the invitations using outlook in windows.
I'm referring to ios because I have this problem with both my iPhone (4S on ios5, no iCloud sync for calendar) and iPad (2 on ios5, no iCloud sync for calendar).
Result: cancelled meetings have to be removed manually on iphone en ipad, invitations in outlook have to be processed three times (pc, iphone, ipad).
My questions: is this behaviour recognized? (i.e. is our Exchange setup different or is this a general problem).
Any tips/hints how to solve these bugs? or should I try to accept them as features...
Thx!
Mike

Having same issue with following equipment: PC (standard corp issue laptop), BB (Blackberry phone), Tablet (Blackberry Playbook tablet)
Here are the steps:
Send out 3 meeting invites
The emails shows up on all 3 devices, PC, BB, Tablet
Before you open the email and accept/tentative/decline that invite...all 3 devices show the 3 "unaccepted" meetings on the calendar
Then accept meeting invite #1 on the PC, accept meeting #2 on the BB, and accept meeting #3 on the Tablet
After the acceptance all 3 meetings they show up fine in the calendars on the PC and BB...no problem here.
But only meeting number 3 which was accepted on the Tablet shows on the Tablet
The problem is that the other 2 meetings which were on the Tablet before being accepted, are removed when accepted.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here, so I've asked the hosts to remove your email address, postal addresses and phone numbers from your post.
I'm not entirely sure what you are saying, but if those apps are crashing then have you tried toggling them 'off' and 'on' via Settings > iCloud ? And if that doesn't fix it then try closing them via the iPad's taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
You could also try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it's a different problem ... ?

Calendar reminders (notifications) still NOT working, even after 602 update.....

So, Verizon Wireless released the 602 update to the Gingerbread OS for the Droid X, and the calendar reminder popups (notifications) are still NOT working properly.
This is VERY frustrating, as I use these notifications (reminder pop ups) for everything from business related (meetings, etc) to personal (when to take medicines, etc).
It's also VERY frustrating because BEFORE Gingerbread, when the Droid X ran Froyo, there was NOT a problem with the calendar and its reminders.
I would assume that there are MANY, MANY people being affected by this issue...and I wonder why Verizon hasn't "put the heat" on Google to FIX this issue which is clearly related to the Android OS, more specifically, Gingerbread.
I used to like the Droid X very much, but now I'm counting the days until I can get an iPhone. At least you know what you're getting, and won't have an update "break" functions of the phone.
So, Verizon, if you're listening... PLEASE get this calendar notification problem FIXED.
Thank you!!

I'm the original poster of this topic. And let me tell you the steps that I went through to try to get this resolved, and then I'll let you know the ultimate solution that I wound up doing and am happy about (but am NOT happy about Verizon & Motorola).
1) updated DroidX to latest 602 update.
2) went into admin partition and deleted cache
still did not work
3) went into admin partition and did hard reset (complete restore) from inside the admin partition
Still did not get calendar reminders to work.
4) went into normal phone and accessed "Restore Phone to Factory Specs" from the Privacy menu in settings. This caused the phone to do a similar hard reset as in step 3, except it also ran the beginning software (welcome to your Droid, we now have to activate your phone, etc).
Calendar reminders did not work. (REMEMBER... when I say they did not work, I mean that the reminders would go off EVENTUALLY , but anywhere from 30mins AFTER the appointment to literally HOURS AFTER the appointment).
5) Created a COMPLETELY NEW AND DIFFERENT calendar at Google under a DIFFERENT screen name/account. Configured DroidX to completely forget the original calendar and to start using the NEW one.
Reminders still did NOT work properly.
6) Once again, tried hard resets.
NOPE. Still did NOT work.
7) CALLED Verizon Wireless and described my problem and they pretty much didn't/couldn't help and said they would "send a report to the engineering team" about the problem.
And HERE is the thing that REALLY BURNED ME UP about this WHOLE ENTIRE DEBACLE..... my DroidX worked 100% correctly BEFORE the Gingerbread upgrade to the Android OS. When it was running Froyo (previous OS), every single calendar reminder on my original calendar worked every single time, on time, every time. BUT... AFTER Gingerbread, it just didn't work. (Don't get me started with the phantom powering on of the phone after it was powered off problem that STILL exists after the 602 upgrade).
SO.......... what did I eventually do??? Well, by this time, I was eligible for early upgrade at upgrading pricing and switched to the iPhone4 (I didn't want the 4S). AND YOU KNOW WHAT??? Using the ORIGINAL GOOGLE calendar that I used before all the above stuff happened, my reminders on the iPhone4 work all the time, every time. These include appointments that I made 8 months ago to new ones that I make every day. And for all of them, the iPhone4 sets the reminder chime off EXACTLY when I want it to.
Now, I realize that this doesn't address the problem for you, Ganamide (who wrote above), but for me, I finally got to the point where I had missed critical appointments with clients and couldn't wait around for the DroidX Calendar Reminder Problem to be resolved.
So Verizon Wireless and Motorola (maker of DroidX) and Google (maker of Android OS) all have "negative points" in my book for allowing such a problem to continue without proper resolution. Apple, on the other hand, gets "positive points" in my book for making a product that is rock solid and works well.

Calendar, Reminders, Contacts do not sync

Calendar, Reminders, Contacts do not sync w my iPad. However, other apps do sync (i.e. mail, bookmarks etc.). Calendar, Reminders, Contacts are turned on in iPad as well as in iMac.

Let's focus on the Contacts. I have not been able to sync my Contacts in iMac and in the iCloud. Only half of my contacts from iMac appear in iCloud.
I have followed these instructions, step by step, but do not help:

...except the last one: uncheck/check the checkmark next to Contacts in System Preferences/iCloud because this would delete Contacts in my iMac.
My Contacts account look as follows:
Do I need to use iTunes to sync Contacts?
Any, really any, help appreciated.

IOS Calendar not displaying recurring appointment on the correct date

I have a recurring appointment set up in Microsoft Outlook, with the following settings:
In Microsoft Outlook, this appointment is correctly displayed on 2 May 2013 at 8:30am.
But, in iOS Calendar, this appointment appears on 8 May 2013 at 8:30am.
In June 2013, Outlook correctly shows this on the 4 June, but iOS Calendar shows this on the 10 June.
Pretty sure this is a bug in iOS Calendar, but maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Maybe it wasn't receiving the correct info from your carrier. You're supposed to turn your phone off once in a while so the carrier can update stuff. I had originally heard that you should do it once a day but I never did that.

Calendar, Reminders and Contacts Apps won't open...

Hello,
My iMac power cable got disconnected and it lost power interuptedly,
after starting it back up, i found that neither Calendar, Reminders or Contacts apps are starting up.
Did a little research before posting here, but nothing helped, I already tried:
- verifying /repairing permissions
- running daily/weekly/monthly scripts
- Reboot in safe mode
ANY Help is welcome as i am starting to loose hope,
and re-installing the whole Os seems a little extreme as a mesure,
Thanks : )

Hello Staraway
If you are having issues with Calendars, Contacts and Reminders opening up then the next step would be to reinstall your operating system. One thing you can try is if you are using iCloud with those apps, then turn off the settings in System Preferences and open the apps to test.
