Iphone 4s calendar alert issue

I tend to put 2 alerts on my calendar events, one for 1 day before and the second one for 1 hour before (or some other on the day of event). I have noticed that when I put in the first alert for 1 day before and then enter the second alert for 1 hour before and click done they have somehow been reversed, the first alert is now 1 hour before and the second alert is 1 day before. I have to click them again and change them to the proper order, this usually take about 3 tries to get them to stay as I want them. I can them save the event and all is good. I was at the Apple store and the staff duplicated this issue so I know I'm not the only one experiencing this nuissance. Has anyone else come across this? I do hope the upcoming update will fix it.

Update since Genius visit:
1) Apple is working on an update
2) There is no awareness at Apple of this calendar alert issue as a bug, hence it is not being addressed/worked on
3) Solutions offered by Genius have not resolved this issue.
Solutions offered by Genius, in order of which to try first:
1) Delete calendar data from iPhone: Settings>iCloud>Calendars OFF and then restore data from iCloud: Calendars ON
2) Reset iPhone settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
3) Restore to factory settings: Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings, then restore data from iCloud and in-app backups.
4) Use another calendar app (seriously)
Of course, if the bug is actually part of the iOS software (could it be?) then no amount of erasing and restoring data will fix the issue. I completed the first two options with no change, and am not willing to do the third option because I am not interested in going through the process of backing up, then restoring all my third-party apps.
My solution: raise awareness of this issue with Apple, so that it can be worked on and fixed. I have reported it as a bug through Apple's feedback module: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and I encourage-- no, ask-- you to do the same, if you are experiencing this issue. I provided a link to this forum topic to show the variety and detail of problems.
Are you sick of missing alerts, fiddling endlessly, coming up with workarounds, paying for unreliable software, and not being responded to? I am. It's time to rally!

Calendar alert issue

Hi all,
I've got a minor annoying issue. My wife (iPhone 4 with iOS6) and I (iPhone 5 wiht iOS6) share an apple account. On iCloud, we've got two calendars. The first is called "Calendar" which is there for us to put all of our general home stuff (birthdays, vacations, appts, etc) and is intended for both of us to use. I've got a second calendar called "Dan" which is just for me with a bunch of stuff she doesn't care about.
Here's the issue. In Calendar, she clicked "Calendars" and deselected the "Dan" under "iCloud Calendars". The only other calendar her Calendar app now shows is our default shared calendar. So, anything I put on the "Dan" calendar no longer shows up... yay! HOWEVER, alerts from my "Dan" calendar still appear on her phone. In other words, if I put an event called "test" on JUST my "Dan" calendar with an alert to go off at 1:00, at that time, BOTH of our phones go off and display alerts. The Event still doesn't show up in her calendar though.
SO, my question is, how can she make it so alerts from "Dan" calendar don't show up on her phone? It's annoying for her, and not cool for me if I want to put in an event that she shouldn't know about.
Thanks,
Dan P.

Calendar alert issues with ios5

I am having trouble with getting audible calendar alerts on my iPhone 4 with ios5. Ever since I downloaded ios5 about 2 weeks ago, all I can get for alerts on my calendar appointments are vibrating alerts. I have gone to settings and selected an audible alert, but it still only vibrates at alert time. I am able to get audible alerts for text messages, and my "todo" list app, so I believe my volume is set at an appropriate level. Is anyne else experiencing htis, and have you found a solution?

Thanks for the suggestion, I wasn't sure if the default alert would have an impact, since I selected a specific alert time. However, I went into settings and tried to set the defailt time. Same result, I am still onyl getting a vibrating alert, with no audible tone.

Intermittent iphone activesync calendar/mail issues

We are experiencing intermittent activesync calendar/email issues that are causing many of our iPhone users to miss meetings and have major trouble scheduling events from the iPhone. The main problem is that most of the time everything works perfectly until suddenly you realize that you missed a meeting or that your email is suddenly out of sync and you have no idea how long it has be like that.
I have found several band aid "solutions" to temporarily resolve the issues:
http://blog.fosketts.net/2008/07/10/how-to-set-up-iphone-exchange-activesync/
http://blog.hltechsolutions.com/2008/07/iphone-activesync-calendar_24.html
We are using iPhone Firmware 3.0 and higher on all iPhones on a Exch 2007 server
We need a really solution for this ASAP

I am on version 3.1.2 and am having many problems with ActiveSync. It often says connection to server cannot be established and prompts me for my password multiple times a day. I have checked with other iPhone users in the organization and many do not have problems. I have tried changing my password, deleting the ActiveSync profile and recreating, and restoring the iPhone. I am getting quite frustrated as are my IT peers as they have to unlock my Windows account every few hours. I need help please!
This behavior seems to have started when I upgraded to 3.1.2. Before that I never had any problems.

IPhone 5 calendar alerts.

My iPhone 5 calendar is defaulting to alert me of all appointments 2 days in advance. How do I turn this off?

I found that if I choose the "Calendar" which is not under "iCould" (ex: an event on my gmail calernder), than, I don't have the option to set the 2nd alert.
In other words, if I choose the event to be on one of my calendars under "iCoud" ( check one of them ), I will have the option to set the 2nd alert.

Iphone 4 Calendar Alarm Issue

I have a problem with the calendar/alarm in the iPhone 4.
When I book an event with alarm, the alarm alerts you with a lag of 8 hours (vs the time of my location, i.e. Portugal).
Does anyone know how to solve this issue???
Strangely I never had this problem in iPhone 3Gs.
Thanks!

Help. iPhone 5, calendar sync issues using Outlook. Doesn't work. Does any kind soul have a solution

At my wits end. iPhone 5, OS 7.1.1, using Outlook as mail, contacts and calendar but unable to find a solution to sync everything. I have my own domain and use a small ISP. It's not an Exchange server account. I've trawled countless forums but to no avail. Can anyone help? Steve.

Mavericks doesn't sync contacts or calendar via iTunes anymore. Apple removed 'sync services' so Outlook doesn't have the sync engine to move data between iOS & the Mac. It will still work on iTunes 11 on earlier OS X's.
On 10.9 you can either use iCloud, setup your own contacts & calendar server (OS X server, Biakal, Owncloud & many others) or you can find another online service to use to sync data, like Google apps.
There is a 200 page thread on the issue…
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5460803?start=0&tstart=0
There is also a user tip on how to setup Baikal…
Hosting your own CalDAV and CardDAV server using Baïkal Server
You should also look for apps that may help like SyncMate http://www.eltima.com or maybe missing sync? http://www.markspace.com/

IPhone Outlook calendar synch issue

My new iPhone does synch with my Outlook 2007 calendar, but only some, not all, of the calendar items actually are copied over to the phone. When I create an event on the phone, it does synch back to the computer.
Any idea what's happening here?

Similar, if not same, issue here, as no calendar items come across from the computer. While I run both OSX and PC, the phone uses wife's Dell running XP pro, and it's still no joy. Running latest OS and outlook patches, etc.
I would expect coders are still working on a fix...bought the phone expressly for this purpose--while the other features are great, until this is fixed, it's a rather large thorn.
If the definitive steps to a fix are arrived at, I am all ears...

Iphone 3G - Calendar sync issue via Microsoft Exchange

I have my iphone sync fine with mail and contacts via Microsoft Exchange with my work PC outlook, but can not get the calendar to sync. I upgraded to Microsoft 2007 and it sync once (possibly after accepting a meeting invite), but then no updates. I have turned calendars off and on and lost all entries. I do get meeting invites though, but they too disappear.
Any ideas?

Onicabbit has nailed this one. It has to do with appointments not having an end or start date or having a length of 0 minutes. Track those in outlook (use the category view and make sure you have no filter on which could obscure a few nasty ones), fix the dates and duration (open the meeting or event and add or change one of the dates) and the sync should work.

MS Outlook 2003 and Iphone 2G calendar synching issues

hi,
I have just recently (after a very long IPhone download) am having synch issues. Some of my appointments are on the Iphone but not seen on Outlook. I read something about a com add in but when I tried to check this and add, my outlook didn't have this option. I am very aggravated!!!! I am in sales and have many appts during the day and now I am afraid I am going to forget one if i don't check both phone and outlook.. Please help!!!!
Janet

This is causing alot of problems no idea what percentage of windows users sync'ing with Outlook this is effecting but a lot of unhappy campers out there.
For a constantly updating discussion on this try an independent site:
http://getsatisfaction.com/apple/topics/myiphone_calendar_will_not_sync_with_outlook2007 Covers 2003 Outlook too. - (Scroll down to 16th July)
Apple although acknowledged the problem, now 2 weeks ago seem in no hurry to correct it, something to do with trying to sell MobileMe a cynic may say? Problem has mean't alot of businesses returning iphones, exchanging for Blackberries or just trying to revert back to their smartphones or ppc's.
This added to the problems of bluetooth handsfree kits not working with voicemail and 3G problems I suspect Apple are wishing they never released Firmware 2.0 and iTunes 7.7.
We are all hoping for a swift patch for this critical problem but then again we were doing that 2 weeks ago too... until then at least my XDA Orbit still works.
Repeating the appointment once so it is a reoccuring one day appointment has proved to work in the meantime - major pain though. I am testing Dionhall's fix at the moment, it sounds as if it is fixing the problem for most users. (See link above)

How can I remove calendar alerts from my iPhone?

My iPhone 4 (iOS 6) seems to be adding calendar alerts on its own and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove them. I use iCal on my Macbook Pro (running Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to sync my calendar events. None of my events on iCal have alerts set to them and I have disabled all alerts in my iCal preferences. Yet, for some reason, when I look at a calendar event on my iPhone, an alert is set for it.
How do I remove these properly? I do not simply want to silence these alerts, but figure out how they got there in the first place and remove them completely. For comparison's sake, I've included an image of the event from iCal and the event from my iPhone.

Hi pjdemeo,
I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone. As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer. This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
Organize photos and videos - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.
Cheers,
- Judy

Two iPhones. One account. Can I have separate calendar alerts?

I have a new 4s. My wife has my old 3GS. We are using the same iTunes/iCloud apple I'd account. It's nice because she can make her own calendar and I can make my own calendar. If I don't want to see her calendar I just deselect it in the calendars to view menu. I can see her stuff if I want to and she mine by going the other way. The problem is Calendar ALERTs. Even if I've deselected her calendar, my iPhone still beeps a reminder at me from one of her Calendar alerts and vice versa. Is there some way to make it so that the alerts only occurr if I've selected her calendar to view?
I also have kinda the same problem with reminders. She gets mine and I get hers even though I've got two separate "lists" of reminders. Can I stop that?
Also a similar deal with contacts. Can we have separate contacts lists and only see the others when we want to?

No, sorry.

Iphone 5 calendar issue

Iphone 5 calendar won't display the final day of an event that covers more than one day. E.g. An event beginning on the 25th July at 8am and set to finish on the 30th at 10pm, ordinary calendar would only show dots for the 25th to the 29th. In the text box beneath it intermittently shows that there is actually something happening on the 30th without the dot.

Also happens with my fathers iPhone 4S, I assume it's an IOS issue in that case.

IPhone 4 Calendar Entries: List Display Issue

I believe a derivation of this issue has been posted a handful of times already, but I wanted to add to the pile in the hopes that Apple addresses a calendar bug. My iPhone 4 is running OS 4.2.1, and I sync my calendar with Microsoft Outlook 2007 via a PC.
Recently I've noticed that when changing time zones, the "List" view of my iPhone calendar has trouble displaying the proper date of appointments when they are entered or changed in the iPhone directly. Two "Tue Nov 30 2010" gray bars will suddenly appear, for example, and previously entered appointments for that date will scatter amongst these two sections haphazardly.
Interestingly enough, when clicking into "Day" or "Month," these entered appointments will display properly. It appears, then, that this issue is only present in the "List" view.
Somewhat bizarrely, these sections in the "List" view will compress back into one (as normal) when the offending appointment is deleted on the iPhone. Moreover, when new appointments are entered via Outlook and synced with the iPhone, the calendar displays as normal in "List" view.
This issue has plagued my phone for a handful of months now when I transition time zones, but only recently has it not reset itself upon syncing with my computer. This leads me to believe that the issue may have been exacerbated by OS 4.2.1. For what it's worth, time zone support is "off" on my phone (meaning appointments display in local time).
Any help you can provide with this issue is appreciated.

Good to hear that I am not alone.
I have the same problem (for some time now, not just 4.2.1). I have tried deleting my calendar and resynching with Exchange with a reboot in between (as suggested in another problem report), but that does not help.
For me the problem started when I started bidirectional synching with Exchange (updates on iPhone are sent to server and updates on server are sent to iPhone, immediately in both directions) -- as if the iPhone calendar list search does not work well because the entries are "remote" (actually stored on Exchange server?).
There are similar quirks with Contacts but Calendar List Search is unusable!

IPhone 5, iCloud calendar reminder issue

When I use the iCloud calendar on my iPhone 5 and make an event with a reminder set to "on time of event", it will sometimes just beep and flash a notice on lock screen for a few seconds and then the notice disappear from lockscreen.
Sometimes though, everything works as it should and the notice is still there on lockscreen till I unlock the screen (or the event is over).
All settings in notice center and mail/calendar is correct.
When I use google calendar it always works!
The problem was there from iOS 6.0 and is still there after update to 6.1
I have been in contact with apple support who couldn't find any help at the moment.
More people seem to have this according to this site: http://forums.imore.com/ios-6/244349-ios-6-calendar-reminder-issues.html

Update: The problem occurs when I have connected my iCloud acount with calendar enabled on my iMac.
It's like the iPhone 5 thinks I have seen the notice on my iMac and therefore removes it from the phone.
This happens even if my iMac is locked/lockscreen.
