IPhone Calendar Notifications

Hi all, hope someone can help.
I've had a MacBook Pro for a while, but I just got an iPhone 4 on Wednesday. I've never had a so-called 'smartphone' of any sort before.
I think I have sussed out the majority of it's features, but I'm a bit puzzled with the notifications that show up from my Calendar events.
I have successfully synced the phone with my MBP, including for Contacts and Calendar, and I thought I was impressed at not having to programme all my contact numbers into the phone.
Now, on my MBP I have carefully set alerts for important events that I want to be pre-warned about, sometimes a week or two in advance, but most 'events' in my Calendar are non-important things such as sports events or when the window cleaner is next due or whatever, and I do not set alerts for those.
But I seem to be receiving alerts on my iPhone for EVERY event in my Calendar and, it seems, only at the exact time I've set for the events, rather than pre-warnings that I've set.
Is it something I've missed in the manual, because I can't work out how to have alerts only for the events I want alerting about? I can only find a sort of 'global' setting on the phone for alerts on or off. Or is it something that I need to adjust at the MBP end of things?
Thanks.

You can choose to not see those notifications by using the Settings app.
Ssettings > Notifications > Calendar > Shared Calendar Changes > turn off the notifications in that section.

I am getting calendar notifications for others calendars on my iphone

Ever since I updated to IOS8, I have been getting calendar notifications from my boss's calendar on my iphone 5. I have his calendar as a secondary calendar so I can schedule appointments with him as needed. His is the only secondary calendar that I am getting notifications from. His and mine. How do I turn the notifications to his off. I checked google to make sure the settings there are correct which they are. I am not getting his reminders in my outlook or my gmail browser only on my phone.

Sync iphone calendar with notification center

I got several calendars created in Ical (My Mac) that syncs with iphone calendar but on notification center, i only have some of them, do they sync?

yes, everything is connected, see here

Calendar Notification

Does anyone know how the calendar notification works? I have seen on examples a little red circle with a 1 in it on the calendar app. Just like phone, Email and SMS notifications. If I set an appointment on the iPhone as an alert will this generate the calendar notification so if I view the iPhone I know I have an alert in calendar?
Or is it just for invitations? I'm not sure. If it is for invitations how do I set an invitation on the iPhone? Do I send myself an email with the invitation/alert so I get this notification?
Any help is appreciated

I just sent myself an invitation from my desktop PC and let the iphone fetch the email on it's own. It was a meeting invitaion. I was hoping this would give me a calendar notification on the home screen so I would have a visual when I had appointments. It did not work. Worse yet is when I opened the email on the iphone it didn't even give me a choice to accept or decline the invitation. So basically the meeting invitation from outlook does not work on the iphone. Has anyone else found this out and if so is there a solution or is this another item on the long list of Apple fixes?

Issue with iPhone Calendar sync

My office uses MS Exchange account (Outlook) for emails & calendar. I use Google Calendar Sync app to sync my outlook calendar events to my personal gmail calendar (1-way sync: Outlook to Google). Everything was fine until I bought the iPhone 4S. Apparently, when I open any event on the iPhone Calendar app, it automatically Accepts the invitation and sends a Accept notification to the meeting organizer & my personal gmail address is being added into the Attendees list of the organizer. So when I open any appointment on my iPhone to even read it, it sends a notification from my personal account to an office colleague or worse, to a business customer. Is there a way for iPhone to stop accepting or declining meetings & simply show my calendar items whatever status they are in. As I sync regularly, I want my iPhone calendar to display the exact information which is in my Outlook calendar and do nothing else.

This sounds just like the problem I am having since downloading the latest version of i-Tunes. Initially i-tunes wasn't recognised so after reinstalling i-Tunes and it's 5 other associated programmes I found that there was a cmpatability isuue (Right click i-tunes icon and go to compatability tag) Once this was sorted my Outlook calendar would not sync with my i-phone. 2 weeks later I am told it is because I have Outlook 2002 and need to upgrade. Frustrating as it worked ok before the latest upgrade.

How can I receive calendar notification instead of .ics mail attachmentes? Have already delete my apple id as alternate email on another id. Thanks very much

Well, I´m unable to receive calendar notifications after my father bought a new iphone and I put my appleid email as alternative email in his account just to revover his password in case of. I just receive emails with .ics attached.
I have tried anything, as deleting the alternate email adress on my father´s appleid, and still recieve the .ics attachments and no notifications. Furthermore, if I don´t download the .ics it won´t appear on my calendar.
Thank you very much in advance

You may need to enable in-app notifications in you iCloud calendar preferences on icloud.com. See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mma527d46.

Calendar notifications on iPad iOS 8.2 shows yesterday and not today

Since I updated my iPad to iOS 8.2 my calendar notifications in the notification centre are showing the wrong day. The calendar summaries for 'Today' and 'Tomorrow' are correct, but the actual calendar details shows me events from yesterday and not today.
i have tried removing the calendar from notifications, and then adding it back. I have also tried a simple reboot of the iPad. Anyone know why it is doing this? What else can I try to fix this?

WWhen the iPhone is connected via usb to computer. Look at tones on the device. Does the tone look different from all others, does it have a transparent circle next to the ringtone name?

My calendar notifications disappear about an hour before the event. How do I make them stay for longer?

This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
There are NOT duplicate photos.
Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist, all photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
It is working exactly as it should.

Outlook appointments disappear from iphone calendar

I have a reoccurring problem with appointments that are set in Outlook that will appear immediately on my iPhone calendar, but when I check back later sometimes the event has been deleted from my iPhone calendar but not from my Outlook calendar. It's driving me mad. Some of the times it does this is when I send an invite through outlook for an event to another user. The event will appear on my iPhone calendar but once the other person accepts my event invitation it will disappear from my iPhone calendar, but remain on my Outlook calendar. It doesn't do this everytime, but seems to be when I notice this happening the most.
On my phone settings I have the outlook calendar set as my default calendar. My iPhone is also synched with two gmail accounts a Hotmail and an icloud account. The only calendars I actually use however are my Outlook and the the iPhone calendar.
Any ideas?

One of the things I always suggest our users do in a situation like this is check the cache file on the Outlook desktop client. It has an *.ost extension. I've found it can get out of date and affect the calendar on mobile devices. You can turn off caching in Outlook, then delete the cache file, then turn caching on and let it be rebuilt. Microsoft also has a number of calendaring "best practices" its important to implement.

We've struggled with issues like this for a while. The steps above are good for a starting point. In addition, you want to minimize the number of delegates, the number of instances of clients running against the Exchange mailbox, and accept all appointment notifications. If any one notification is deleted, Outlook, in the past, anyway, has deleted the appt. from the calendar even if all other recipients accepted their notification. Hopefully you receive the notification on your device and accept it.

Issues with Alarm Clock and Calendar Notifications

I have noticed that when I am using the Alarm clock, it will not go off when the calendar is showing a meeting reminder....
Is there any way to dis-activate this? My alarm clock will not work.. and there are too many appts in my calendar to go thru them to change...

I also have the same issue. If the alarm is set and the calendar sends a notification just prior to the alarm time, the calendar notification prevents the alarm from going off. I understand it is a bug, but when will it be fixed? What is the bug ID? how do we track known bugs so we know they are being fixed? The problem is with the iPhone's included clock and calendar apps, so it is not a 3rd Party application issue, right? Thanks!

IOS 5.1 freezing and lost calendar notifications. How do I fix them?

Is anybody getting problems with IOS 5.1 on iphone 4. Mine is only a month old after being replaced due to a fault and now after the IOS 5.1 update it freezes when I try to unlock it and it has also frozen at the end of a call meaning I couldn't finish the call. I had to hold both buttons to reset it which doesn't always fix the freeze the first time.
Also I have noticed that all my calendar notifications on the dashboard have gone too. No matter what I do with the notifications in the settings the calendar won't appear.

I too get the freezing issue when trying to unlock my iPhone 4. It eventually unfreezes back to a locked phone, when I try to unlock it again it will either freeze or the device reboots. Following the reboot it normally let's me in. Doesn't happen every time I use the phone but is happen 2 to 3 times a day.

Iphone and Ical on mac do not sync anymore. All my events are in the iphone calendar! How do I backup iphone calendar, and how do I fix the syncronizing problem?

After getting iCloud the iCal on my mac does not sync with my iPhone calendar. All of my calendar notes are in my iPhone (while the mac's Ical remains empty) so I need to backup the iphone version. How?
Itunes says that "your calendars are being syncronized with iphone using icloud" - but the mac's ical does not show any of the new events I have added on my iphone.
I would like to install the new update on my iphone, but I am afraid to do it without knowing that I will be able to restore my iphone calendar. I have made calendar events for many years to come, I and will not risk losing them!
I have been looking for tips online, but the solutions usually suggest that I backup the ical on the mac and start fresh using this version. In other words overwrite iphone calendar with the ical from the mac. Which is not an option. What can I do?

Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.

How can i get my ipad and iphone calendars to sync?

my ipad and iphone calendars used to sync fine but recently they stopped syncing. i haven't changed a thing so i don't even know how to begin fixing the problem.
everything gets backed up into icloud and connecting the ipad and iphone to my laptop for sycing hasn't resolved the issue.
my default email is a gmail account (calendar), which has been from the beginning; however, i have an icloud account on both devices, and i use the same apple id on all devices and itunes. in the past anything i would input into my gmail calendar on any computer would sync with my ipad and iphone, but no longer!! what happened????? right now all calendars are independent of one another; anything i input into my gmail calendar doesn't show on my ipad or iphone calendar or vice versa.
i have checked my ipad and iphone section by section to ensure everything is the same, and it is.
i am sooo frustrated right now somebody please help me to resolve this problem.

The first step in troubleshooting this is to determine which of your devices are not syncing with iCloud. To do this, add a new event on your iPad calendar and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com. Do the same thing on your iPhone and in Outlook. When you do this, which device is not syncing new events to the calendar on icloud.com?

How can I get the iPhone Calendar to update reminders from Outlook?

I have an iPhone 2g v2.0.2 with an Exchange account through work. Everything works flawlessly except one annoying problem: The iPhone calendar does not seem to recognize that I have dismissed or changed a reminder time in Outlook.
Example: A reminder alert appears on my computer (Windows XP/Outlook 2007/Kerio mail server). I will "Dismiss" the alert only to have it pop up again 10 seconds later presumably because my iPhone didn't get the dismissed reminder message, then syncs back to Outlook that the reminder is still active. I have even opened the item in Outlook, changed or canceled the reminder, saved the item, only to have it pop up again seconds later after the iphone reverts to the original reminder.
The only way I have found to stop this cycle is to open the item on the iPhone calendar and cancel the reminder.
Any ideas on how to solve this would be appreciated.
thanks

Just so that you know you're not alone, I have a couple clients experiencing the same problem. Have yet to come up with a solution outside of what you've mentioned. Wish I had more to add to the topic.

Calendar notifications keep turning back on

I like to have all calendar notificatins turned off, but every time I restart my computer (iMac 27" late 2012 with Yosemite) I find that calendar notifications are all turned back on - alerts, notificationsin lock screen, notificatin center, badge app, playing sound. I turn everything off and all works as it should until I restart my iMac and all the calendar notifications turn back on by themselves. Can anyone help with advice for me to keep the calendar notifications off? It's really annoying to have to change the settings every time I restart.
Thanks!
