Ios 7 calendar second alert

Hi
ios calendar obviously has this alert function for upcoming events. Now, no matter whom I ask, evrybody tells me that there also is an second alert function. Accordingly, I set a standard alert only to find that a second alert window would not pop up. With my friends phone setting up second alert function is not a problem at all.
I do not know why the interface differs on my iphone??!
I am looking forward to reading your cmnts - thx in advance

It seems that there are quite a few glitches in iOS 7. So far the typical solution is going intot he settings and turning the sliders off and then on again for the applicable glitch. In your case go to settings, then to mail, contacts, calendars. Try turning off your calendars. When asked if you want to remove it, confirm and wait for it to finish. Then slide it back on again to add it back.
You may also want to check your default calendar by scrolling further down in the same settings area. Make sure your default calendar is the one you want if you have more than one calendar. For me it appears that an outlook calendar only supports one alert. When I put my default calendar to gmail I got my two alerts back.
As a side note A lot of my preferences got changed when I went to ios7. I'd go through all of them. Turn off the stuff you don't need. In my case Bluetooth, push notifications and background app refresh are things I modified back to my previous settings. PS. I also turned on reduce motion to get rid of the constant zooming.

How do I stop calendar from setting a second alert one day before?

I have iOS 7.0.6 with calendar synced to my gmail account with CalDAV. When I create a new event in the calendar on my iphone, I set either a single alert or none. When I check back a few seconds later, the alert I set has become the "second alert," and the first alert is set to "one day before." Google calendar correctly shows a single alert, the one I set. If I then delete the first alert, it stays deleted. But then if I edit the even in google calendar, the "one day before" alert reappears on the iPhone. (Though still not on Google calendar.)
It's driving me batty with all of these false alarms that are actually for tomorrow's activities. Is there a way to set alarms in iOS 7, or is that just a sacrifice we have to put up with to fix the iOS SSL bug? Should I set the current date in my iPhone to be one day late?

Settings > Mail Contacts, Calendars.
Scroll down to Calendars and this sets default alert times.
If you add an alert to a new appt, it is in addition to the default alert time.
Either turn off default alert time or set the default alert time to when you want you want & don't add alert to the event when you create it

Calendar first and second alerts switch on their own

Hi, I've been having this problem for a while with my iPhone 4, wondering if anyone can help.
I've tried looking if there's already a thread for this issue, but couldn't find one -- maybe I'm just not using the correct keywords.
Every time I set my first and second alerts on my calendar appointment and saved them, they seem okay, but 2 minutes later when I go back to the same appointment, the first and second alerts switch on their own, e.g.: I set first alert to go on 2 hours before and second alert to go on 1 hour before the appointment. Save. When I return 2 minutes later, first alert turned to 1 hour before and second alert 2 hours before.
Which is silly, since who needs their second alert to be farther than their actual appointment? Even iphone knows this and cancels the second alert altogether. By the time I've been alerted, I only have an hour to get ready for my next appointment.
Anyone has encoutered this problem and has successfully solved them? I've tried setting my default time zone under setting to local, and even turning off iCloud, to no success.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have found what appears to be a resolution to this issue, when I add an event and I select the event time, the date time scroller opens up allowing me to select the time of the event.
The issue occurs when I leave this selector expanded and continue to set the event properties. When the time selector is still open and you select the alert times, it swaps the alerts every time. When you collapse the event time selectors before choosing the alert times, the alerts are not switched.
This bug appears to be an issue with the scrolling selector form item if there is more than one open it appears to error out.
If you don't know how to collapse the event time selector, once you have selected the time, click on the date/time that is in red text just above it and it will collapse the selector.
Hopefully this fixes the issue for others, and it is ridiculous that this has gone one for so long, not a good way to keep your customers Apple, my wife was so aggravated at this that she was about to cancel her iPhone.

How do I get a "second alert" option in calendar - using gmail w/ exchange

Hi -
I am using gmail calendar and syncing it via "push" of microsoft exchange.
I am able to set a single "alert" for a calendar, but not a second alert (as the native iphone calendar will allow, as does gmail calendar").
How do I set a second alert for a calendar event (inside the iphone)?
Bonus question: there seems to be some nuances to how alerts are transferred between gmail calendar and the iphone - for instance where the event was originally entered, etc. Anyone have documentation on how that works???
Thanks!!!

I am not aware of a setting in the phone for a second calendar alert, except if you try and snooze the original alert. However, I'm sure you are asking for it to alert until you acknowledge it, correct?

My iphone calendar keeps changing the alert and second alert times I put in

Ever since updating to 7.0.2, my Iphone calendar keeps changing the alert and second alert times I input for an event to different times. Why is it doing this and how can I fix it?

Are you syncing your phone with iTunes and then with iCloud? This can cause duplicates. Sync with one or the other, but not both.

Why can't I set a second alert on my iPad calendar app?

Why can't I set a second alert on my iPad calendar app? I can set two alerts per event on the iPhone version, but the iPad version doesn't show the option that pops up after entering a first alert on the iPhone.

the options in the tool bar at the bottom are not highlighted and it does not respond to my touch.
You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.

Why did they remove the second alert for Calendars ??

I saw that this software update has taken away the second alert that could be added to calendar entries ?
Why would they do that ?

I see what happened.
I added an exchange account.
It then changed my default calendar to the echange calendar, which does not accept 2 alerts.
Thx

Ios 7 calendar browsing problem

When searching iOS 7 calendar when i try find some event and click on it calendar sometimes redirect to some other event.

Close the calendar app and reboot the iPad and see if that fixes it.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Calendar app, then swipe "up" on the calendar app thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

IOS 6 calendar display jumps to different dates????

iOS 6 calendar display jumps around. On my iPod touch 5, iOS 6, after editing an event, the display jumps to random list dates before ending up on the correct date. These gyrations take several seconds and will dwell on the wrong date for a while.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Calendar app alerts reversing order

Has anyone else experienced this? When I create an event in my Calendar app and select an alert notification, I'll select 2 hours before as the first alert and then 1 hour before as the second. When I complete the event in my calendar, it shows as 1 hour before as my first alert and then 2 hours before as my second alert. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix for this?

See the longer discussion of this issue at:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16978713#16978713
It is unresolved. Please send a bug report to Apple at:

IOS 7 Calendar does not show appointments imported as VCS files in Microsoft Outlook / Exchange. Any solutions?

iOS 7 Calendar does not show appointments imported as VCS files in Microsoft Outlook / Exchange in Windows 7. I discovered this when downloading itinerary.vcs files from Delta to mark flights in my calendar. The work around I found is as follows:
Open the VCS file, this will create a Calendar entry in your Outlook,
Open the created Outlook Calendar entry, go to File -> Save As and then select to save as ICS file.
Delete original VCS-created appointment in your calendar to avoid multiple calendar.
Open the re-saved ICS file.
Appointment will now correctly synchronize with your iPhone iOS 7 calendar.
If anyone has better alternatives to this process, please help out. Hopefully, Apple will fix this with the next iOS update.

IOS 7 Calendar Day View does not show any all-day events ?

Hi,
I realize that iOS 7 Calendar Day View does not show any all-day events.
Is this a bug ?
Any help given is much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards.

Mine brings me right up to the current time, or in the case of another day, it takes me to the first appointment of the day.

IOS 7 calendar

Aside from sending a complaint to Apple, what can be done to convince the designers of the iOS 7 calendar to return to the more efficient month calendar view?!!!!! I can no longer, in one glance at the month view, get any information. Just those dots! Makes no sense and baffled how someone didn't ask the question, why would we make something LESS efficient? I depend solely on that month view to plan events. Now, I have to go to EACH day view, see only part of the day at a time, or switch to the list view, etc., etc. It's so painful. We are a family of 5 iPhones, MacBook Pro, iMac, and iPad. I'm losing trust in Apple and although I've never had anything but their products, I may be drawn to the other side by my brother who works for Microsoft. (No mention of battery life issues either...!). Please fix this someone out there!

Thanks for the responses about apps. Just stubborn of me, I guess I believe I shouldn't need an app to correct a now less efficient calendar. And I don't know about anyone else, but the battery life is terrible - and then I'm using another app. I have gone everywhere online to address that issue; no luck.
