IPhone adds unwanted alerts to iCloud calendar events

When I create an event on a calendar on the desktop (Mavericks) the event is getting an alert set on my iPhone (4S, iOS 7.04). There is no alert on the event when viewed via iCal on the desktop or through iCloud in the browser. This seems to be occuring on all calendars - whether shared or not.

crbesq,
On your iPhone, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Calendars...and make sure "New Invitation Alersts" is turned off.
Also check the settings for "Default Alert Times," and "Shared Calendar Alerts."

Why am I getting double popup alerts for Google Calendar events on iPhone?

This is happening on both mine and my wife's iPhones (mine is a 4 and hers is a 3GS) which are both on the latest iOS (6.0.1). This is what I've figured out:
On iPhones: Default is to set no alerts/reminder for calendar events
On Google Calendar: Default is to set a popup alert 1 hour before event & email 1 hour before event
When I create a new event on my iPhone: It saves with no alerts set, then after uploading to google calendar it shows as having two alerts 1 hour before the event. If I go into Google Calendar, it shows that 1 popup and 1 email are each set for 1 hour before the event.
When I create a new event on in Google Calendar: It saves with 1 popup and 1 email are each set for 1 hour before the event per the default settings. If I go to my iPhone, it shows that I have 2 alerts, both for 1 hour before the event.
So it seems that the iPhone is seeing both the popup and email alerts and creating two popup alerts on my phone!
Is there anyway to fix this? I've tried setting up the calendar on my iPhone through Gmail account, Exchange account and CalDav account and it's all the same.

I figured it out. It has to do with which calendars you want displayed. Duplications come from multiple calender selections.

My iphone 4 will not back up calendar events to the icloud!

Since I installed Mountain Lion and subsequently activated iCloud for the first time I have been having a few issues with Calendars.
First issues was all the doubled up events which I eventually sorted out by turning the iCloud settings on and off and then merging for my Macbook and iPhone 4. Since then any Calendar events that I have entered on my Macbook have been backing up to the iCloud with no issues and have been pushing to my iPhone as well. Where the problem comes in is when I enter an event on my iPhone calendar it does not back up to the iCloud and therefore does not come up on my Macbook calendar either. Any help would be much appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.

ICloud calendar events are gone from iPhone and iPad

I turned on iPhone and iPad this am and and icloud calendar events are missing. When I opened iPad calendar, events were there, but then disappeared and now are gone. All events are still calendar in iCloud on PC. How do I get them back on iPhone and iPad?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check you aren't hiding them.
i.e. on the phone settings > mail, contacts, calendars > calendars > sync.

How do I set up an email Alert for a Calendar event?

Add a URL to a Calendar event linking to a message in Mail

Hi,
Before Mavericks 10.9.5 update, I could manually add a URL in a Calendar event to a message in Mail by doing the following:
Show the message's header,
Find the "Message-Id: " field,
Copy the string after "Message-Id: " surrounded by "<" and ">", inclusive,
Create a Calendar event,
Type "message://" in the "Add URL" filed, and
Paste the "<...>" string after "message://".
This is very handy for planning things I need to do, when the message contains a task for me but no dates to add it to Calendar automatically. It used to work, until the last update to 10.9.5. Anyone knows how to do it any other way?
Thanks,
Kuo

Outlook 2007 "To Do" bar not showing iCloud Calendar events:

It may be that Apple did not program into the iCloud software that piggybacks to Outlook 2007 the "To Do/Appointments" bar that shows all your iCloud calendar events on the right side of Outlook. It took hours with Apple to get all devices to sync with Outlook but it now syncs, finally.....just can't figure out a way to see the "To Do/Appointment" bar on the screen right side when the calendar is up. Anyone figure out if that feature still functions or if that is disabled when the iCloud piggyback software is installed with Outlook 2007?

hi!
i just want share my ideas.
option a: please check your conduit if it automatically goes to do nothing. if that is the case, check if you have an EAS account on your versamail.
option b: try creating a new calendar data on outlook then syncronize your phone. if the new data will transfer, it means that the rest of your calaendar data are corrupted.
option c:try to check also that if your calendar data on outlook are on the default calendar folder and not on a subfolder.
please feel free to reply if what happens after you perform them.
thanks

ICloud Calendar Events Limit

Hi all,
I've read about the iCloud calendar events limit of 25,000 events (more details here).
The events limit changes in case I subscribe to iCloud, buying extra space ?
Thanks

Hey Deta,
Thanks for the question. Upgrading your iCloud storage will not increase the limits for Calendars:

How do you add an attendee to a calendar event on the iphone 4

I want to be able to add calendar events directly on my iphone 4 and add attendees to these events in the similar way I can do this with my
Blackberry. How does one do this?

I can't seem to get calendar events created on my iphone to syc to the icloud calendar

I am using an iPhone 4 and all of a sudden, I can't get my calendar events on my phone to up sync to the icloud. Contacts work great from phone to cloud..but events don't work at all.
Help!

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

I'm unable to edit a an iCloud calendar event on my iphone

I set up different categories under ICloud calendar. And one of the categories Im unable to edit on my iphone. i can only edit on my mac. Why?

Assuming they are on your phone, do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the Pro version. Use the app to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing (otherwise you will see duplicates).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the exchange contacts back to your phone, and to iCloud. They should now appear on icloud.com.

Shared iCloud calendar events not updating on shared devices

I had successfully set up a shared iCloud calendar with my friend which enabled us to edit and view the same calendar on our iPhones and iMacs.
Everything was working fine until a few days ago when it stopped working. When either one of us created new events, they wouldn't show up on the other person's calendar and when they seldomly did, not even an alert popped up like it used to which the person had to go under the invitations page and accept them.
What could possibly have gone wrong? We tried deleting the calendar then re-sharing but it stopped working very suddenly.

Hi trenten7,
Here is an article that goes through troubleshooting iCloud calendars, including different steps for different devices:

I would start with troubleshooting the two Macs and then move on to the iPhones.

Add a note to a Calendar event that was created from Mac Mail

When I create a Calendar event by clicking on a date within a Mac Mail message (you hover over a date in an email it draws a dashed box around the date and gives an option to create a Calendar event). It creates an Event in my Calendar with the following fields: Subject, Location, Date Time and alert fields, Invitees and a link to the mail message. But - I can't seem to add a Note Field. The only work-around seems to be to manually create a new calendar entry.
Does anyone know how to modify an event created from Mac Mail to add a Note Field?
iMac Retina 5K 27-inch Late 2014, OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3, Calendar Version 8.0 (2034.9), Mail Version 8.2 (2098).

Thanks Brett for replying, but this doesn't work if the event is created by Mac Mail - which is my issue. Sure it works with any other event but not one that has been created from within Mail. If this is a bug I'm sure the Calendar people point the blame at the Mail people and vice versa but that doesn't help me. But before I submit a report to Apple I thought I would see if I might be missing something obvious.
See the attached screenshot of an event that was created by Mac Mail. There is no Add Notes field when the event is Double Clicked, Right Clicked or any other form of click.

Deleted iCloud calendar events keep reappearing

The other day I was trying to subscribe to a shared calendar (schedule for a baseball team). Instead of subscribing I ended up importing the ICS file into my main iCloud calendar. (This happened on the iPad) Unfortunately this means 160+ events, basically one a day from May-September.
I determined that deleting was quickest using iCal on my Mac. But after deleting the events in iCal, the changes did not propogate to my iPad or iPhone calendars.
So I tried on the iPad. I even did a test by deleting one event, and watching it automatically delete on the iPhone. I should point out here that up to now I have not had any problems with iCloud calendar syncing. So then I proceeded to delete all the events on iPad. But still the events persisted on my iPhone!
Just now I deleted one month of the events from my iPhone. I went to the next month, deleted a few more, and when I went back to look at the first month (July), the events had re-appeared.
OKAY HAHA GUYS VERY FUNNY THE JOKE IS ON ME?
I've logged into icloud.com and I see the events are still present there. If I double-click the event, it gives me the message "coudln't load event details". This only happens for these events, not all my events. And the delete buttons is greyed out! Not sure how to get these events out of my iCloud calendar now.
It makes me wonder if iCloud has some logic built in to roll back changes, if too many calendar modifications happen in a short period of time, as a way to prevent unintentional mass-deletion?

I'm having a similar issue trying to delete entire calendars. They keep re-appearing after I delete them! Happens in Calendars on Mountain Lion and in iCloud website (normal and beta)

IPhone 3GS everything syncs except PC calendar events

iPhone 3GS v6.1.2; iTunes v11.0.1.12; PC Windows 7 & Outlook 2010. Sometime during my trip (HI > NV > TX > HI) my iPhone and Outlook calendar stopped syncing. Everything syncs except the calendar events; even the birthdays sync. I only have one PC calendar and one iPhone calendar. When I use the Advanced - Replace information on this iPhone - Calendar feature, the result is only Birthdays appear on my iPhone until I manually select the calendar under From My PC on the iPhone. It is as though iTunes isn't recognizing the iPhone calendar. Every test to add or delete an event from either the iPhone or PC calendar does not get sent to the other device. The usual iTunes sync error allowing me to select which event is correct never appears. Any and all ideas will be appreciated. I've spent several days reading through the various "sync" issues posts to no avail. I'm sure it is something I did incorrectly trying to resolve the issue but ...

This link helped me resolve my sync issue: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/nl-NL/outlook/thread/3cf216ed-3f0d-47 f3-8043-d2d0de4c824c
