Mac OS X Calendar Reminders Multiplier

I have a daily event in google calendar, which is also in mac calendar and in the iphone calendar, the event has only one reminder 5 minutes before the event, but after some time the reminder began to multiple itself and after a few days I have list of useless reminders, all of them x minutes after the event (see. screenshot).
I have already deleted the cloned reminders 3 or 4 times, but they continue to come back, I have also deleted and recreated the event but the effect is the same.
Is it a known problem? How can I solve it?
Thanks
Stefort

Clearly the google calendar is an account in mac calendar and if I remove the google account also all the events disappear, because all the events are google calendar events and if I add the google account again, it does change nothing, all the cloned reminders are still there. Where are they coming from? They aren't in google calendar, see screenshot, where the mac calendar finds those non existent reminders?

    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.

    I accidentally deleted the Reminders only on mac section in the reminders.app on mountain lion. How do I get it back?
    I checked @ http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#reminders and it says under Multi Accounts: "Reminders works with CalDAV services like Google Calendar and Yahoo! Calendar. You can also create reminders that appear only on your Mac."

    Quit Safai (double tap the home button, hold the app icon until it wiggles, tap , double tap the home button gain)

  • Calendar, Reminders and Contacts Apps won't open...

    Hello,
    My iMac power cable got disconnected and it lost power interuptedly,
    after starting it back up, i found that neither Calendar, Reminders or Contacts apps are starting up.
    Did a little research before posting here, but nothing helped, I already tried:
    - verifying /repairing permissions
    - running daily/weekly/monthly scripts
    -  Reboot in safe mode
    ANY Help is welcome as i am starting to loose hope,
    and re-installing the whole Os seems a little extreme as a mesure,
    Thanks  : )

    Hello Staraway
    If you are having issues with Calendars, Contacts and Reminders opening up then the next step would be to reinstall your operating system. One thing you can try is if you are using iCloud with those apps, then turn off the settings in System Preferences and open the apps to test.

  • My calendar reminders do not seem to be "pushing" to my iPhone. What am I doing wrong?

    My calendar reminders do not seem to be "pushing" from my MAC to my iPhone via iCloud. Any thoughts about what I am doing wrong?

    It sounds like you did a lot of burning with your Mac.
    Set top DVD players are designed to playback commercial, pressed DVDs with very low error rates. As a result, many models have very limited error correction capabiities.
    Writable DVDs can contain a lot of burn errors causing problems in these players.
    For best results, you need to use quality media (Maxell or Verbatim) and NOT media like Memorex.  You need to burn at low burn speeds - 4x is good, 8x may be OK.  If you are burning several discs you MUST allow your burner to cool down between discs!

  • I just upgraded to iOS7 and started using icloud with Outlook 2010. My calendar reminders are only randomly showing up which is very frustrating. They show up on my phone however. Any suggestions on a fix?

    I just upgraded to iOS7 and started using icloud with Outlook 2010. I dealt with switching over to only using icloud for my calendar, but now my calendar reminders are only randomly popping up which is very frustrating. They show up on my phone however. And under my calendar on my main page it doesn't show any appointments coming up. Any suggestions on a fix?

    Hey Csound1,
    Looks like we found a solution, it's Mickey Mouse but it works.  After talking to two Apple Senior Advisors, this is the fix they came up with:
    The first advisor after exploring it for awhile, came to the conclusion the way to get my calendars back local On my Mac with the alerts as I had then was to import the saved .ics files with my my 'dangerous email alerts' being removed then me manually re-adding them.   I said that was a no go.
    The second advisor, after speaking with me for awhile and trying a few things that we'd tried before said he'd do some work on his end and call me back.  A couple of hours later he phoned back with a fix that I guess will have to do, his solution:
    I had to go into Calendar-preferencs-accounts and create a Gmail calendar, quit and restart Calendar, I created a calendar in the gMail account.  Then I was given the option  in Calendar under File-New Calendar to create On my Mac local calendars.  Next was to create local calendars with the same names as my iCloud calendars.  Now I had to un-check all calendars but one, put Calendar in month view, command-click all the events for the given calendar and drag them to the new local calendar of the same name.  I then had to repeat this for each of the calendars and for all 12 months of the year. 
    I'm not done yet but it seems to be working.  As I said Mickey Mouse but doing the job.  It seems creating another online calendar account was the only way to get the local On my Mac option, active again.  What a pain in the a** this has been, I will repeat it again
    iCloud is EVIL.

  • Is there a way to move my calendar, reminders & iMessage apps from the dock to the menu bar?

    Is there a way to move my calendar, reminders & iMessage apps from the dock to the menu bar?

    Workspaces are stored as XML files in your user profile on Windows or the user library on Mac, in a subfolder called, strangely enough, workspaces.
    You may have run afoul of the new "content grabber" in the center of a frame that allows you to move the content without changing tools. Looks sort of like a dounut, or the center spot on some SLR camera focus viewfinders. You'll either love it or hate it, and it can be switched on or off in the View menu.

  • I'm not receiving e-mail on my "New" iPad, and I want tdeleted my yahoo mail account and reinstall it.  When I go to settings to delete the account, it says I will lose everything in notes, calendars, reminders, etc.  Can I delete ONLY the e-mail account?

    I'm not receiving e-mail on my iPad (3).  I want to try deleting my yahoo mail account and reinstalling it, but when I go to settings to do this, it appears that I will lose my notes, calendars, reminders, etc.  Is this right, or is there another way to do this?

    Give it time. Yahoo has had persistent issues the past few weeks. wait 24 hours or so and then try again.

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here, so I've asked the hosts to remove your email address, postal addresses and phone numbers from your post.
    I'm not entirely sure what you are saying, but if those apps are crashing then have you tried toggling them 'off' and 'on' via Settings > iCloud ? And if that doesn't fix it then try closing them via the iPad's taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    You could also try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If it's a different problem ... ?

  • Mac OS 10.9.1(Maverick) + Blackberry Desktop Software 2.4.0 build 18 and Blackberry Curve 9320 - unable to sync Mac contacts nor calendars

    this is so frustrating!
    I upgraded to mac OS 10.9.1 a few months ago.  I can no longer sync my mac contacts nor calendars onto my Blackberry Curve - this is my business phone.
    I've hunted and hunted around for a solution and have got nowhere, other than a very long convoluted method which requires me to back-up my mac contacts, go into various files and change things ... all very risky.  I appreciate that Mac have done the dirty by seeminly removing iSync and unabling Sync Services in the normal sense of the word, but I would've thought that Blackberry by now would have come up with a work around?
    Can I export the data and import it into the phone somehow?  or Has anyone got a viable solution?  If not the blackberry is going in the bin and I will get a smart phone that does "talk" to my mac.
    Many thanks

    I have the same problem, and a supervisor Apple Support guy just told me (23 jan 14), after 2 days of searching, that it is impossible to sync a BB with Mavericks...
    I am furious too : it is just like if Apple would be telling plainly that an iPhone cannot phone to a BB...!

  • How to turn off gmail calendar reminders in iOS7?

    How do I turn off calendar reminders in iOS7? I have gmail calendar setup but I don't want to receive reminders for upcoming events. I've been able to remove updates when the phone is asleep but if I click the home button to turn back on I get all the reminders of meeting invites and it's annoying. How do I remove those? Thanks.

  • IOS 5 calendar reminders

    I have a problem with my calendar reminders disappearing as soon as the event time starts. Lets say I have an event at 12p and I have the calendar app set to alert me 5 minutes before. I get the alert 5 minutes before, but if I do not look at the phone or do not hear it and then later go to the phone there is no indication that an alert happened.
    In the reminders app I get something like "conf call 5 min ago) or whatever amount of time it has been. This alert stays in the notification center until I dismiss it.
    I would like the alert to stayin the notification center until I dismiss it. Anyway to do this?
    I'm syncing with Google calendar if that helps.

    I have the same question.  It's very frustrating that the calendar dismisses itself out of the notifications area without the user DISMISSING it.
    Did you find a work around?  I rely heavily on calendar reminders to keep me on task. 

  • Calendar reminders (notifications) still NOT working, even after 602 update.....

    So, Verizon Wireless released the 602 update to the Gingerbread OS for the Droid X, and the calendar reminder popups (notifications) are still NOT working properly. 
    This is VERY frustrating, as I use these notifications (reminder pop ups) for everything from business related (meetings, etc) to personal (when to take medicines, etc).
    It's also VERY frustrating because BEFORE Gingerbread, when the Droid X ran Froyo, there was NOT a problem with the calendar and its reminders.
    I would assume that there are MANY, MANY people being affected by this issue...and I wonder why Verizon hasn't "put the heat" on Google to FIX this issue which is clearly related to the Android OS, more specifically, Gingerbread.
    I used to like the Droid X very much, but now I'm counting the days until I can get an iPhone.  At least you know what you're getting, and won't have an update "break" functions of the phone.
    So, Verizon, if you're listening... PLEASE get this calendar notification problem FIXED.
    Thank you!!

    I'm the original poster of this topic.  And let me tell you the steps that I went through to try to get this resolved, and then I'll let you know the ultimate solution that I wound up doing and am happy about (but am NOT happy about Verizon & Motorola).
    1) updated DroidX to latest 602 update.
    2) went into admin partition and deleted cache
    still did not work
    3) went into admin partition and did hard reset (complete restore) from inside the admin partition
    Still did not get calendar reminders to work.
    4) went into normal phone and accessed "Restore Phone to Factory Specs" from the Privacy menu in settings.  This caused the phone to do a similar hard reset as in step 3, except it also ran the beginning software (welcome to your Droid, we now have to activate your phone, etc).
    Calendar reminders did not work. (REMEMBER... when I say they did not work, I mean that the reminders would go off EVENTUALLY , but anywhere from 30mins AFTER the appointment to literally HOURS AFTER the appointment).
    5) Created a COMPLETELY NEW AND DIFFERENT calendar at Google under a DIFFERENT screen name/account.  Configured DroidX to completely forget the original calendar and to start using the NEW one.
    Reminders still did NOT work properly.
    6) Once again, tried hard resets.
    NOPE.  Still did NOT work.
    7) CALLED Verizon Wireless and described my problem and they pretty much didn't/couldn't help and said they would "send a report to the engineering team" about the problem.
    And HERE is the thing that REALLY BURNED ME UP about this WHOLE ENTIRE DEBACLE.....  my DroidX worked 100% correctly BEFORE the Gingerbread upgrade to the Android OS.  When it was running Froyo (previous OS), every single calendar reminder on my original calendar worked every single time, on time, every time.  BUT... AFTER Gingerbread, it just didn't work.  (Don't get me started with the phantom powering on of the phone after it was powered off problem that STILL exists after the 602 upgrade).
    SO.......... what did I eventually do???   Well, by this time, I was eligible for early upgrade at upgrading pricing and switched to the iPhone4 (I didn't want the 4S).  AND YOU KNOW WHAT???  Using the ORIGINAL GOOGLE calendar that I used before all the above stuff happened, my reminders on the iPhone4 work all the time, every time.  These include appointments that I made 8 months ago to new ones that I make every day.  And for all of them, the iPhone4 sets the reminder chime off EXACTLY when I want it to.
    Now, I realize that this doesn't address the problem for you, Ganamide (who wrote above), but for me, I finally got to the point where I had missed critical appointments with clients and couldn't wait around for the DroidX Calendar Reminder Problem to be resolved.
    So Verizon Wireless and Motorola (maker of DroidX) and Google (maker of Android OS) all have "negative points" in my book for allowing such a problem to continue without proper resolution.   Apple, on the other hand, gets "positive points" in my book for making a product that is rock solid and works well.

  • Calendar, Reminders, Contacts do not sync

    Calendar, Reminders, Contacts do not sync w my iPad. However, other apps do sync (i.e. mail, bookmarks etc.). Calendar, Reminders, Contacts are turned on in iPad as well as in iMac.

    Let's focus on the Contacts. I have not been able to sync my Contacts in iMac and in the iCloud. Only half of my contacts from iMac appear in iCloud.
    I have followed these instructions, step by step, but do not help:

  • Why is "On My Mac" missing in Calendar & Mail sidebars?

    My new 13" rMBP does not show "On My Mac" in the Calendar List (sidebar); it shows only iCloud calendar list. Likewise, in Mail sidebar, there is Mailboxes list, my email address with list, but not "On My Mac". My 1 1/2 year old rMBP shows "On My Mac" in both Calendar and Mail. Both computers share the same iCloud account and email address.

    I don't quite understand the "local calendars" part. Both of my computers sync with the same iCloud account. My older model computer has On My Mac, which has both work and home checked. Why does On My Mac show in the older computer and not in the newer one?
