Is there any mac/iOS app or feature I can use to alert me every five minutes?

I need an app or a feature on Mac, iPhone, or iPad that will send me a push notification or some kind of alert every five minutes.
I would rather not set up a million calendar alerts or alarms, as I will have to be using this a lot.
It will need to run in the background, especially if it's an ios app.
I would rather not use an iOS app that makes noise but doesn't send a push notification.
An iOS app is preferred, but anything works.
System alternatives will be accepted as well.
And no, I cannot simply ask Siri to do it, as I have tried in the past, and she says she can't do alerts that frequent.
Thank you for the help!

You could do this using AppleScript on your Mac.
See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3718520/how-do-i-write-applescript-that-will- give-me-an-hourly-popup-alert for the basic code to do the repeating alert.
Combine it with this for a Notification: http://macosxautomation.com/mavericks/notifications/01.html
Quite simple really...

    Highly unlikely, but search the app store and see what can be found.

  • Is there any program in the Creative Cloud I can use as an alternative for Power Point?

    I need to make a powerpoint presentation and I was wondering if any of the Apps in the Creative Cloud work efficiently for this?

    Not really. The Adobe equivalent would be Captivate and it's not part of CC. Depending on what you need, you could creatively use Edge Animate, Flash or Muse to build a web-based slideshow and run it in fullscreen, though.

  • HT201299 Not enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS apps and features from setting? I keep it off but when I go to other app it on automatic

    I can't  enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS apps and features from  setting.
    When I off data for specific application and go to other option it automatic on all application
    Any one can help

    SOLUTION! (NO NEED TO RESET YOUR IPHONE SETTING!)
    I have the same issue for the last two weeks. But i have already managed to solve the issue all by myself. When i go to Settings > Cellular > below the tab "use cellular data for:", i turned off some apps which i didnt want to use with cellular data. As soon as i go back to Settings, and then i went back to Cellular, the apps which i had switched off earlier, automatically turned back on.
    Here's the solution:
    Either you're using wifi or cellular data, first of all you're gonna hafto turn on the cellular data use for App Store. Once you have turned it on, go to App Store application. Update ALL the apps which have new updates available. If it asks you to log in your App Store, just do so. If there's something wrong with your debit or credit card information, it will ask you to update to a different card. Just do what it asks. Put in a new credit or debit card info and fill in the forms provided. The card you're using must be usable and has usable balance in it. Let's say atleast $10 to $20. As soon as it confirms your card successfully, the app updates will start automatically. Continue to update all the apps. After all updates are finished, go back to Settings > Cellular. Try to switch on or off some apps for data use and recheck.
    Try it yourself! Have a nice day and don't put a blame on Apple for this.

  • Just switched from safari on my imac. when using search menu safari gave me the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    Just switched from safari on my imac. When using search menu in safari I had the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research and looking for specific phrases/words. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    I think Safari has the same keyboard shortcut as Firefox "command+F" on a Mac or "Ctrl+F" on Windows.
    Look in the lower left corner for the Find. There are more likely to be differences in Find Next and Find Previous in the keyboard shortcuts, but continuing at the Find bar at the bottom doesn't matter what browser you use. There is an "X" there to dismiss the Find bar. In Windows the "Esc" key will dismiss the bar if you are within the find text entry area.
    Keyboard shortcuts:
    * [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts?s=keyboard&r=0&as=s Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help], from Mozilla very limited number of shortcuts but will show correctly for your system
    * [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)], more comprehensive but is oriented to Windows users with some guidelines for Mac and Linux users.

    Hi ThaPlaya,
    I feel your pain. I am in charge of over 250 PCs and laptops. Flash Player stopped working for me after an update. I have been working on this issue non-stop since the middle of October, 2012. It's time-consuming, and even after applying the latest Flash update, it still doesn't work properly.
    I am beyond frustrated! I have people calling me left and right saying that they can't access content. I have been using this site https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ to try and do a browser plug-in check while in IE an dFirefox. Even after I update all plug-ins, Flash still works about half the time.
    For instance, the principal of the middle and high school wanted to view an online magazine http://upfront.scholastic.com/issues/12_10_12, about 3 pages load on this site. The rest continue to say LOADING. When I right-click on a page and then left-click on ABOUT ADOBE 11.5.502.110, it seems I am using the most up-to-date version for IE and Firefox.
    Students are trying to access sumdog.com and stmath.com, both run using Flash. STMath is now working a bit better because I allowed some exceptions in our internet content filtering appliance, and in our firewall, sumdog still works half the time.
    If Adobe is going to update their browser plug-ins, they need to test and retest before giving the public access. This situation is causing me a ton of problems!

    Are there any Mac 10.x.x Compatible Gamepads / Joystick?  Please send me the link.

    Hi Dominic23,
    There are many gamepads that are listed but if you check the specification it only shows that it is compatible with PS2 / PS3 / PC and no where it shows Mac.  I have one example
    There is a gamepad from ferrari Thrustmaster which will be listed when i put the above search string mentioned but if you check the website it shows it is compatible with PS2 / PS3 / PC. 
    Is there any recomended Gamepad that is fully compatible with Mac, recommended by Apple??

  • Any free ipad app,so that I can open my Microsoft Word documents

    Any free ipad app,so that I can open my Microsoft Word documents

    Another one that just opened up yesterday is OnLive. Both OnLive and CloudOn are cloud-based - you're accessing a server to operate Windows programs and files remotely. There are drawback to it, compared to a full program on the iPad (storing your files remotely, requiring strong and constant internet connection), but since they are both free for now (OnLive will offer pay plans for more storage and features, I imagine CloudOn will do something similar) it can't hurt to try them. I'm downloading both and will give them a whirl.
    I'm also hoping the rumors that MS is working on iPad versions of Office is true, although I imagine that just like the iWorks programs they'll have less features than the full versions.

    I have OSX 10.5...is there any way to upgrade Itunes so I can sync my new Iphone5c?

    Syncing the iPhone 5C requires at least Mac OS X 10.6.8. Mac OS X 10.6 DVDs are available at the online Apple Store; they require a Mac with an Intel CPU and at least 1GB of RAM.
