Looking for app to extend alarm for iCal - Reminders

We are frustrated seniors new to the apple family. On all devices iMac, iPhone and iPad we only receive alarms when we either pick them up or turn them on.... We are looking for an app that would alarm us for appointments, even if it is only through my wife's iPhone (through the cloud), using iCal or Reminders... We would like to extend the alarm to perhaps 5 minutes then repeat an hour later and keep repeating until we would turn it off manually..... PLS help.... Maggie N John 

You can take a screen shot of any page in your iPad.  Simply hold the power and home button for less than an second and you'll hear the camera shutter.  The picture will be stored in your camera roll and you can then email it.

  • How do I set the account used for ical reminders?

    Hello folks,
    On my wife's computer we have OS X Lion.
    She has two email accounts loaded on Mail, using IMAP. These are Gmail accounts. I will refer to them as account #1 and #2
    In iCal she has calendars loaded from Gmail account #1.
    We have noticed that all her iCal event reminders are being sen to account #1 using account #2 for the sending. Even though the event is on a Gmail Calendar on account #1.
    She has no calendars loaded from account #2 (as she does not use calendars on that Gmail account).
    Neither of us can figure out why or who iCal is sending out reminders via her second gmail account, for appointments set in the calendar of her #1 email account. We can not see why logically iCal and/or Mail is linking these accounts in this way.
    We'd like to have it so that the reminders are only sent using account #1.
    Can anyone tell me how or why this is occurring, and what I can do about it?
    Thank you so much,
    Jonathan

    If you are referring to your "iCloud account", then simply tap "settings / iCloud" - delete the account you are currently logged in with, and add the correct one.

  • Looking for recommendations - iCal substitution (different calendar or task manager app)

    Hello everyone,
    for some time I'm looking for iCal substitution/replacement. I'm looking for a multiplatform solution (idealy OS X / iOS / Win). I'm a head of small team (5 subordinates) and iCal no longer suits me.
    I'm looking for a task manager or different calendar application where I would be able to manage all the tasks my team has. So far I have found application Wunderlist, which is very close to what I want (basic version is free, it works on OS X / iOS / Win and synces through their servers) but it misses some crucial options (monthly view for example).
    Also I do not want to and will not use any Google service.
    Thanks for any recommendations!

  • Looking for handy Alarm app!

    I am looking for a very small, small, compact, simple application that sits in the menu bar and allows me to set a time at which it will remind me of something. (ex.: taking an eye-break, taking food out of the oven, etc..)
    No, iCal doesn't cut it (at all) -- too big, etc.
    High Priority(.app) doesn't cut it either.
    I am seriously seeking a tiny application that literally just lets me set a timer-alarm with a small reminder-message that pops up. No note-taking-features, no calendar; just something that I won't even notice running until it reminds me to call at work!
    Hopefully someone knows something like this and let's me know quick
    Thanks

    Your welcome. Thanks for the .

  • Looking for a specific Iphone alarm clock app

    Hello,
    I have been looking on the apple store for an app that I came across a while a go. It's an alarm clock app with a calculator for morning tasks, so it will ask the user how many tasks and how long each task is going to need, and then it will calculate the total time the user need in the morning. It also has an alarm clock to wake you up according to the time calculator. If you have 5 tasks:
    brush up ---------------------------10 min
    prepare breakfast----------------10 min
    eat breakfast-----------------------5 min
    read news---------------------------5 min
    driving to school--------------------40 min
    the total time is 1 hr 10 min. Then you enter the time school starts, 8am for example. The alarm clock will wake the user up at 6:50am in the morning on that day.
    Does anyone have this app and would like to share the name of the app with me? I have been desperately looking for it and regreted not saving it to my wishlist on the first time.
    Many thanks to the apple community!!!

    1password is FREE for a limited time, and it allows you to store login info and notes(you can use as journal) and then lock the application with a passcode. And lockbox does about the same thing, it's free too.

  • Looking for a weather alarm app

    Hi all. I am looking for a voice alarm app that tells me what the weather is currently and what the forecast is for the day when the alarm time comes around.
    The closest I have found is "morning report" but it does not give the forecast.

    Because of the way iOS works, any alarm app other than the built in one will have to be running in the foreground to do what you want. Though I am extremely fond of the WaveAlarm display (it's currently my alarm app of choice) and the developer is extremely responsive, Alarmed might better suit your needs. It has both wake up and sleep options. So, you could set your podcast playlist to go to sleep by and then an alarm to wake you up in the same app. That way, keeping it in the foreground shouldn't be as much of a problem. The UI isn't nearly as slick as Wave Alarm but it's a great, feature packed program.

  • Looking for an app that will alarm on specific text messages.

    Looking for an app that will alarm on specific text messages. The idea is to use the message as a pager without a monthly subscription. There is a similar app for andriod called firealert.

    I could not find any app that would do this. There are different types of message apps but nothing that I could find to do what I am looking for. For a specific contact I would like the message to have a notification that will not go away until I acknowledge it. Just like you would do if it was a pager.

  • I am looking for an iPad App that will play a specific iTunes song, at a specific time, on a specific day?  Thank you all!

    i am looking for an iPad App that will play a specific iTunes song, at a specific time, on a specific day?  Thank you all!

    Sorry, i did not say that i need to go out further than 1 week.  This is for a church Bell Tower Music System.  So we don't want to have to re program the music every week.  We are looking for more of a Calender App that will play iTunes Songs for alarms...different songs, on different days.  IDEAS ANYONE ???

  • Looking for an app that works with Mac and iPhone that will set calendar reminders of birthdays in contacts.

    Looking for an app that works with Mac and iPhone that will set calendar reminders of birthdays in contacts.

    Hi ron1098,
    Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
    See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.

  • Looking for a simple Text App with options like columns, lists etc

    I am looking for an app that lets me do simple things like type lists of things , create columns etc . PLEASE tell me that my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard already has the ability to do this somewhere and that i dont need to buy "iWork" or "Excell" to perform this basic function. Thanks

    If you're talking about a simple word processor, then Bean (http://www.bean-osx.com/Bean.html) will be worth a look. It's simple, has the ability to create text columns, and best of all, is free!
    NeoOffice (Mac port of OpenOffice) is fantastic if you need a complete Office suite (http://www.neooffice.org) - also free. Its spreadsheet app is called Calc.
    Mac Mail and iCal can do 'To Do' lists, and there's also plenty of free apps that do simple to-do type lists.
    When you mention 'lists' the app that comes to mind is OmniOutliner (http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnioutliner/) but it's not free.

  • Looking for form filling app that can do this

    I am looking for an iPad app that can do this. I know it would need some type of cloud/web based backend to setup and manage but I'm looking for the following:
    We are a fire and security company. Many jobs require multiple documents to be created such as a service ticket, alarm activity log and maybe another form. The problem is if the tech needs to fill out the service ticket and activity log, those forms require in many ways the same information such as description of problem and end results and then each form has it's own separate info required. Right now the tech either has to retype all the similar data or try to copy and paste between the different fillable PDF files.
    I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to select which forms are needed and then it will populate the required fields to fill in and when complete it will export it to PDF on the appropriate company document templates and allow signatures to be placed before printing via AirPrint and emailing it to customer and our office.
    Does anyone know of a solution like this? It is not an easy thing to look for on Google.

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Looking for Calendar App

    I am looking for an app that allows the next 2-5 events in my calendar to show up on my "unlock" screen on my iphone. (I might be using the incorrect term) the screen that has my wallpaper and the time when I slide to unlock. Thanks for any suggestions

  • Looking for an app that combines an equalizer with video out.

    I'm looking for an app that has video out (like "Upsize" or the iPod built-in photo slideshow) with an equalizer (preferably like "Denon Audio" or "EQ Pro" so that I can listen to equalized music through my TV. Upsize is close, as it allows for album art to be displayed on my TV while the music plays however, it does not control volume and you must use the iTunes equalizer before you start the app. My TV is the type that will not play audio without an accompanying video signal when using a component cable to connect my iPod to the TV inputs.

  • Looking for a simple, standalone desktop app for web stats

    Well, I see they've changed the forums here again. SIGH.
    Anyway, a certain web host has eliminated AWStats from it's shared hosting. So I used Webmaster Tools. And now they've changed, and no longer display the simple visitors and hits. Google Analytics is way too complex for what I need, as are many of the stats programs I've looked into.
    I can download the daily Apache log files, that's no problem. Just looking for a small standalone program to import these and show the data like AWStats.  Any suggestions? The only other options would be to go to a different web host. Not a big deal overall, but I would rather not deal with the hassle, especially the migrating the database.

    Not sure of standalone 'desktop' apps. But check out http://www.openwebanalytics.com/ and Web Analytics in Real Time | Clicky  - they're both very intuitive and easy to use with a lot more simplified stats than Google Analytics.

  • Looking for Video playback app, like a DDR

    Hello, I'm looking for a program to cue up and playback quicktime files for live broadcast off of the computers hard drive. Kind of like a DDR but all running on the computer. It needs to have the ability to cue up files based on keystrokes, like 123 enter = playack of 123, and be pretty quick about it.
    I found Playbackpro.... at WWW.DTVideolabs.com but I'm looking for some other options.
    Thank you.

    Unfortuately I cant load the clips into quicktime since it's crashing when I load them..
    Just hoping for a light weight app that's sole function is video file inspection
