Just a heads up - calendar/alarm conflict

If you add an entry to your calendar and set a reminder/alert for that entry, no alarms will go off while that alert is displayed.
I set myself an alert for 5:30 this morning, and also had my alarm set to go off at that time. The alert went off but I didn't hear my alarm until I woke up several hours later and closed the alert! A simple workaround would be to set your alarm one minute before the alert, but for those of you that like to hit the snooze button this could still cause problems.

I just received the same type of phishing scam call.  It was showing in the caller ID as 800-888-9620 and upon answer an automated recording indicated that Verizon was calling about a pending $123 refund check.  They indicated that I needed to visit vzw123.com and enter my account information to claim the check.  The recording played twice and the call disconnected.  Seems like there are a few variations of this scam floating around using a variety of spoofed caller id numbers (CSID) and a variety of websites addresses.

  • Calendar Alarm Open FIle not working in Mountain Lion

    Recently upgraded my mac mini server to 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I need it to open a particular Filemaker file every morning, and close the application every night. Used to have a simple alarm in iCal set to do this with Open File and then a very simple Automator script to close the program at a scheduled time, also in iCal. Worked fine. Now, in trying to recreate this, it doesn't work - I make the scripts, and if I set them for a time I can test them (ie. 5 minutes from now), they work as planned, but they will not function on their own at the scheduled time. I thought it might be going to sleep, so I set Energy Saver to Never go to sleep, unchecked "Put hard disks to sleep when possible", and checked "Wake for network access". Still not working. Any thoughts? Any idea how to even troubleshoot this?

    I thought I was on to something, but then I re-read your post and saw that you've successfully tested your scripts in Calendar.  So, all I've got left to offer is a silly question: has the calendar been set to ignore alerts?  I ask because just within the last few days I created an Automator calendar alarm, tested it successfully (in the same fashion as you), and set it off to run on its merrily-scheduled way, only to discover it wasn't firing on its own.  Like you, I double-checked my Energy Saver settings and it looked like things should work just fine.  What I finally found was that at some point during all my testing and fiddling I'd ticked the "Ignore alerts" box for the calendar,  and that's what was keeping my script from firing.

  • Any way to adjust Calendar alarm sound?

    Is there any way to adjust the Calendar alarm sound from it's default "Time Passing" setting? Would prefer one of the other ones, but can't see where to change it...

    After going to the Apple store I found out that it is not possible even though the manual says it is.
    I don't know if they inteded to have this feature and "forgot"..lol...or if they never intended it and just copied and pasted wrong.
    It's my biggest peeve with the itouch....hoping they fix it soon...I can't hear the stoopid thing. I also want it to keep sounding the alarm--like it does on the alarm clock so I can make sure I'm actually reminded.

  • No ascending calendar alarm tone in N82

    I'm having some problems with the sound level of the calendar alarm in my new Nokia N82. I have the ringing type set to ascending in the phone profile and both the alarm clock and ringing volume start at a low level and increases which is what I want. The problem is the calendar alarm that starts playing the alarm tone at the highest level which is very annoying to say the least. A strange thing is if I go to calendar settings to change the alarm tone the phone previews the tone in ascending mode, starting at a low level and increases. My previous phone was a 6630 and it didn't have this problem.
    What can I do to fix this annoying problem or do I have to wait for a new firmware release to fix this problem. Does anybody else have this problem with your N82s?
    Best regards, Magnus

    It's been like this in all firmware versions so far. I think it's like that on other similar models too.
    There is no way to change it on the phone. What you can do if you know how to edit audio on a PC is find a sound that you like and edit it so the volume fades in.
    Other than that you'll just have to hope that they change it.

  • Is the iPhone alarm supposed to sync with iwatch?  I can't get any alarm notifications from my iPhone to my watch. Do I have to just set up whole new alarms specifically in my watch?

    Is the iPhone alarm supposed to sync with iwatch?  I can't get any alarm notifications from my iPhone to my watch. Do I have to just set up whole new alarms specifically in my watch?

    Yes, they should sync. Check the Watch app on the iPhone and look at Calendar - make sure it's set to Mirror my phone
    If it still doesn't work, reset the Watch, restart the phone and re-pair the Watch - fixes a few glitches

  • Changing default Calendar alarms in Mavericks' Calendar?

    Is there any way that I can change the default Calendar alarm to email?
    I don't use the "pop-up" on screen alarm, which appears to be the default, because that relies on me being in front of the iMac at the time whereas I can read email alarms on any computer (even at Client's premises) wherever I am, and having to remeber to change every single appointment to "email to" is a positive nuisance.
    I seem to recall this was possible a couple of generations ago in iCal on Snow Leopard but the option was inexplicably removed in a no doubt "improving" update!
    Surely Apple should provide the option to change the default alarm to personal preference?
    Or am I being stupid and overlooking something obvious?
    Thanks in advance.

    As a long-time Apple user, Apple evangelist and stockholder (I bought the stock when it was $41/share), I'm really annoyed with the numerous issues in the latest version of OSX. In all the years I've used Macs, this is the first time I really feel like their new version is simply not ready for primetime.
    And it's not just the inablility to customize alerts in Calendar. The iWork app suite (Numbers, Pages, etc.), also has major issues, e.g., no more initial caps when typing.
    Many of these changes are reportedly due to Apple's desire to increase cross-device and iCloud capability between the Mac and various IOS devices. Apple is also touting the fact that the iWork suite is now free and supposedly simpler.
    Don't get me wrong. OSX 10.9 Mavericks is extremely stable. And there are many new features which certainly improve my overall computing experience. But a major unintended consequence of these "upgrades" and "improvements" is the sacrifice of basic functionality.

  • Calendar Alarms & Events In Different Timezones???

    I keep getting my iPhone Calendar alarms 3 hours early. I just noticed today that it says that the calendar event is in EST, but I'm in California.
    How can I change my calendar events in PST so my alarms are correct?
    My phone's timezone is set to Cupertino, so I really have no idea how this is happening.

    Try to turn off Time Zone Support here:
    Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars (at the bottom of the screen will find Time Zone Support for Calendars).
    I really don't understand why Apple decided to separate your calendar timezones from your current time zones... but they did it

  • Calendar alarm fails to run Automator script if Mac is sleeping

    I have an Automator script to run a backup task which is saved as a Calendar alarm to run once every week.
    This was working perfectly in Snow Leopard - if the computer was asleep at the alarm time, then it would simply run the next time the computer is woken up.
    Then I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and had various issues. First, the alarm got imported to iCloud and caused unwanted pop-up alerts on all my iOS devices, but I resolved that by moving the alarm's calendar from "iCloud" to "On My Mac" (described here).
    Now I'm finding that if the computer is asleep at the alarm time, the script doesn't run at all.
    I don't want the computer to wake up in order to run the script, but to run the next time the computer is woken up, just like it did on Snow Leopard.
    Is this a known difference in behaviour between Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion, and is there any way to get the old behaviour?

    As no-one has confirmed whether this is expected behaviour or a bug, I've assumed it is a bug and raised a bug report at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html.
    In the meantime, I've created a repeating task in my To Do list app to remind me to run the backup script once a week (I'm using Cultured Code "Things" for task management).
    When the task pops up, I run the Automator workflow MANUALLY by double-clicking on the workflow ".app" file.
    It seems insane, but this is the only way I can be sure the Automator script runs once a week.

  • Calendar Alarms at Dawn!

    I've just got a 5800. My first experience was of loading the disk that came with the handset and finding that the ‘Ovi’ applications together with Vista seemed reluctant to do anything. Loading even my basic info, e.g. phonebook onto my new handset was impossible. I still haven't managed to get the Music and Photo applications to boot up, let alone communicate with the handset. Others like the Ovi Suite boot up but won't communicate. After struggling for a day, a very helpful Nokia rep called back and pointed me towards PC Suite, which ran like a breeze. Getting past those immediate issues, I was drawn to the calendar interface on the home screen and loaded a few sample events to see how it behaved. The current day’s events show first as might be expected. Then the list continues, showing future events for which a reminder has been set. This means that I now have a constant reminder to buy Aunt Mavis a birthday card and post it over the next few days! It stays there until the event has past, so I am reminded also to phone her on the big day. On the strength of those excellent results, I synchronised my handset with Outlook. The following morning at 6am I was rudely awoken by all manner of chiming and buzzing. It wouldn't have been so bad, but the 'real alarm' was set to go off at 7:30. It seems that All Day Events, like Birthdays, tasks to renew to the insurance and reminders to buy milk are treated as urgent events which you must be awoken at 6am to deal with, even if, in the case of Aunt Mavis' card, the shops aren't open for another 3 hours. I dread to think what will happen at the weekend when I was hoping to have a lie-in.
    This seems like basic stuff, so I went in search of a basic solution and found the following: There don't seem to be any options in PC Suite for the handling of reminders. If there is a reminder set in Outlook, then, upon synchronisation, PC Suite converts this into an Alarm.
    I did find an option on the handset under Calendar Settings to set the Calendar Alarm Tone globally to “None”. The next morning, however, I was greeted by buzzing, which repeated incessantly every few minutes until I was awake enough to pick up the handset and cancel it! Turning to Outlook, I found a reminder sound is set for each appointment by default. I’ve never noticed it before.  I guess it hasn’t been an issue because All Day Event chimes must go off at midnight when the PC is usually switched off.  So I modified all my All Day Events to have no reminder sound. On synchronisation, it turns out this gets rid of the beeping but still leaves the buzzing as before. Looking at PC Suite again, it is possible to edit each appointment after synchronisation. Setting aside any concerns that manually editing entries is sure to cause future synchronisation headaches, there is an option for the Alarm to be changed to “Not Set”. It seems there is no way of doing this quickly as you have to edit each individually (100+ in my case). It turns out, however, that doing this not only removes the alarm but also the reminder itself – it no longer appears on the home screen as a future event. This means I don’t find out about Aunt Mavis until the day of her birthday - too late to send a card!
    I guess on the handset I could disable vibration completely in the profile settings, but I do rather rely on that for calls, messages and of course, the real alarm clock. I guess even then an alert would still come up on the screen at 6am every morning and have to be cancelled.
    Have I missed something obvious? Does anyone have a work around? Is this common to all Nokias? Can anyone come to my rescue as I am about to abandon this calendar feature as a beautifully conceived but fatally flawed!!!

    I like your thinking el-loco! And thanks to au-N97 and radical 24 for taking it a stage further.
    Calendar alarms certainly 'feel' like they should be profile related – in some situations active, in others disabled. I went to test out the Warning tones option and found I had already set it to off a few days ago whilst getting rid of the power on/off jingle that had come preloaded on the phone. (It was annoying me!)
    Following el-loco’s principle though, it is possible to turn off vibration instead. The Calendar Alarm Tone would have to be set globally to “None” as it is not a profile option. No beeps or buzzing at dawn now; that would just leave the screen lighting up every few minutes – the alert repeats endlessly on an automatic ‘snooze cycle’ until the user intervenes and “Stop” is pressed on the handset.
    In the meantime guess I will have to resort to powering off the phone completely overnight. Just a thought - is possible to do a timed / automatic power off / power on of the handset – say powering off at 05:59 and on again at 06:01 to get around it??
    Sorry about the examples I used in my original post, by the way – I was only trying to get the point across. Fundamentally, I see the issue as follows:
    If I understand correctly, the phone has 4 possible notification methods for each calendar event:
    Alarm tone
    Alarm vibrate
    Alarm screen alert
    Home screen list
    The first 3 are ‘interrupts’ they alert the user and have to be dealt with or cancelled immediately.
    The fourth is method is ‘informative’ - available for the user to check at any time, but does not demand immediate intervention.
    Reminders can fall into either category
    –interrupts, where you need to go somewhere or do something at a specific scheduled time, e.g. set off to a meeting , or
    -advisory, non scheduled and / or non time specific events. This category is much broader and includes all the other things you have get done when you have a minute, ad hoc meetings to arrange, issues to resolve, tasks to complete etc. It might also include designated days, i.e. contract deliveries, a client presentation, leave days, renewals, anniversaries etc for which you have to contribute, e.g. a reminder two days before the contract delivery date so you can check everything is in order and deal with any outstanding issues, or a reminder 5 days before a client presentation so you can a start getting your material together and make the necessary travel arrangements etc. NB: Outlook deals with this very well – in that latter example, it will quietly sit in your reminder list constantly until your presentation, or you can cancel it early if you have completed all the prep. The phone’s Home screen list appears to have the same capability, albeit I have experienced some erratic results (see confusion in previous post).
    The problem seems to be that the handset does not distinguish between the two categories – it is not possible to have an advisory reminder without also having and interrupt alarm. If there is no specific time applicable to an event/reminder, the handset overrides this and sets an interrupt alarm for 6am. This makes no sense as it is effectively demanding my attention at a time of its own choosing!!! (If you follow, that is the cause of my rude awakening each morning.)
    If there is no other solution, it ‘feels’ like a synchronisation settings issue. Perhaps the user could choose how alarms and reminders are dealt with on the phone for time specific and non-time specific appointments?
    The profile setting touched upon at the start goes hand in hand. There are many circumstances that it might not be appropriate for your phone to start beeping / vibrating and / or flashing, irrespective of whether they are time or non- time specific events. To name but two, in my workplace, a phone going off in a meeting is frowned upon unless it is a genuine emergency. Also, when on leave, I don’t think many people would be pleased about their phones going off for meetings / events that are happening back at work!
    A finale angle I can explore is from a usability perspective:
    Layer 0
    Other than by switching the phone off altogether, at the moment there seems to be no easy way to suppress or control when or where calendar alarms go off. If you don’t want interrupt alarms, you can’t synch your calendar.
    Layer 1
    If it were possible to suppress interrupts (tone, vibrate and screen alert), the calendar would become useful as a reference tool. When someone asks if I am free for a meeting at 2pm next Tuesday, or available for dinner at 8pm, I would at least be able to check on the handset and confirm.
    Layer2
    If suppressing interrupts were possible by profile, I would in addition have a useful alarm tool for important events, and be able to use the automated switchover workaround as described by the other contributors.
    Layer3
    Adding synchronising options to allow time and non-time specific reminders to be handled differently. No switchover workaround would be necessary. Resolving the erratic operation of the Home screen list would add maximum value.
    Well those are my thoughts, what does everyone else think?

  • Nokia 5800 v31 calendar alarm fail

    HI!
    I have upgraded my 5800 xm to v31.
    Now i have the clock bug, the alarm always goes off 3 or 4 minutes after the hour i expected.
    Worst than that is that every time i set a calendar alarm it doesn't do anything! When i go to calendar it says:
    "1 or more calendar alarms failed due to hour change"
    Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a way out?
    Best regards
    Sandgrain

    There has also been cases of users changing snooze time from 5 to 10 min ( just the changing, whatever time you set it to) and solves the alarm for a little while. The bug is totally random.
    My first 5800 on v30 had this issue - did a reset and it fixed the alarm for about 4 days before it continued to go off a couple of mins late. My second 5800 on 31 did not have it the first 3 weeks untill one night... You might be lucky or you might not be. It's totally random so chanchans advice getting a 3rd party alarm would be the thing. V40 solves it.

  • How can I extend the calendar alarm sound on my iPhone?

    Before I got my iPhone I used my mobile phones (dumb, android, Symbian) to set an alarm with the calendar. I'm having a hard time properly doing so on my iPhone. My brain is lined with teflon and I forget a lot of stuff - up until now my mobile phones have been vital in remedying this.
    Say that I have an important appointment at 14:00 two weeks from now, I punch it in the calendar on my iPhone and let it alert me an hour before the event. When the time comes my iPhone lets out a measly "beep" that no one hears and I miss the appointment - I can go entire work days without looking at my phone (and phone usage is strongly discouraged at my workplace) so this is really a big problem for me. So far I've missed a couple of important meetings, left important stuff undone and forgot to pick my kid up from kindergarten (my wife usually does, but there are those rare, calendar reminder occasions when I have to)!
    On all the other phones I've owned I'd be able to set the calendar alarm so that it would go on and on and on until I reacted, thus minimizing the odds of me missing the alarm. I have no idea how to make my iPhone do this.
    Sure there are workarounds like making the calendar alarm go off a day before to remind me to create an actual alarm clock alarm for the day after but that really seems to be an uneccesary hazzle and a major design flaw - also, what if I'm really busy when the early reminder goes off and I forget to set the alarm? Or perhaps I should attempt to tame myself to constantly check my iPhone for possible alerts? I really love my iPhone, but if it becomes a handicap i'll throw it away in a heartbeat.

    I was not aware of the fact one could use ringtones as alarms, this will suffice! Although I foresee some very awkward times as the sound does not stop once I respond to the reminder (it keeps going for good five - ten seconds after I "stop" the reminder), but it's better than missing it altogether!
    Thank you very much!
    Regarding the Alarmed app, doesn't it have to be running to actually remind you?
    -Modular747: I don't know anyone who actually reads the terms of service agreement, those things are usually up to thirty, small print pages full of legal jargon. Rules, I do read - not the legal documents (also they often contradict the laws in my country, but that's a whole different story).
    I agree with you - the average customer support consultant mostly cares about keeping his job and earning his salary (don't we all?) and thus racking up completted tasks (i.e. getting rid of customers as fast as possible - in a good mood). The "threat" none the less is real, if a cell phone causes me more trouble than it is worth, I will indeed throw it away (I have done so before) - and recommend a different brand to anyone willing to listen.
    Don't get me wrong, I love Apple and I've been faithfully using and recommending their producs for twenty years now, not because of fanboyism, but because they earned it. This calendar issue, however, is like a toaster that doesn't automatically eject the toast at the set time. I see it as a major flaw and after googling around a bit I see that it's been around since at least 2007 (THAT'S SEVEN YEARS!!) so I strongly believe they are aware of this problem by now, but are choosing to ignore it for some mysterious reason and it really ****** me off.
    I will send the feedback but based on my observations I suspect the Send button is merely a cleverly disguised Delete button.

  • Calendar alarms are no longer supported?

    My previous scripts are simply not running and there doesn't seem to be an option to add one to an event any more! Automator still has the option to create calendar alarms and my scripts still exist, but the feature seems to have been dropped from "the-app-formally-known-as-iCal" altogether! Am I missing it? The new ascetics of the app are nice and I generally have no other complaints about Mavericks, but I have entire workflows dependent on this!!! Help???

    You received the error because some security issue with the App Sandbox, basically the OS doesn't think your app is safe because it's not signed.  You can confirm this by opening the console.  Look for a message saying something like:
    lsboxd:
    Not allowing process nnn to launch "/Users/.../Library/Workflows/Applications/Calendar/....app" because the security assessment verdict was denied.
    If you get the issue, the easiest way to fix it is to run it manually once.  Once you do that the OS will start trusting it.
