Mail, Message and Calendar alerts turned ON

How do you set or tuned on alerts tone for mail, messages and calendar event to continues reminds you until cancelled, thanks for your help, I'm using 3g with firmware 3.0.

Actually, you don't.
Mail will give you one aural alert. The badge on the screen's mail icon is the only other indication of unread mail.
For messages, go to Settings -> Messages and turn Repeat Alert on or off. If you ignore a message alert, you’ll be alerted two more times.
When you add a calendar event, you can set an alert from 5 minutes to 2 days before an event. Once you set an alert, you have the option to set a second.
There is no way to set continuing alerts until acknowledged.

  • Text Messaging and calendar Alerts are silent.  Don't know how to turn them back on.

    My phone has suddenly stopped making sounds for texts or calendar reminders.  I checked the settings and it says it should be making a sound. I get vibrating. The only sound I get is the phone ringing for calls.  I'm missing lots of text and reminders.

    I dont' believe it every text since the test text has been silent again.  I did another "hard reset" and this time it didn't clear the problem.  Thought maybe my test text from the computer might be the only text that gets a sound, but nope.  Again I'm running silent with only vibration.

  • Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Settings crashes; Contacts app is blank

    First issue - since upgrading my iPad2 to iOS5, the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Settings crashes. All other options in Settings are fine - only issues is with Mail, Contacts and Calenders crashing.
    Second issue - I am using iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks. Everything (except Contacts) sync perfectly between my Mac (home), Win7 PC Outlook (work) and iCloud, but I am unable to see the contact data on the iPad. When I open the Contacts app I get the 2 page layout but it is blank with no data, no buttons, no groups and no formatting. After sitting at this blank view for a few seconds it crashes to the Home screen. I know the contact data is in the iPad as contacts can be found through Message, Mail and through the iPad Search. It has not however synced with any changed data.
    I have performed a hard reset numerous times, and restored the iPad. I have manually closed the Contacts and Settings apps through the task bar. I have also attempted to manually sync the contact data via USB with my Mac, but Contacts are still out of sync and crashes on launch.
    Any advice or solutions appreciated.

    Hi UTNick
    Seems like there is a few dramas with syncing through iCloud at the moement - hopefully Apple get this sorted with an update ASAP. Im using Outlook 2010 and didnt have any worries at that end, all the unsynced data and crashing was on the iPad. Good lesson in all this, make sure backups are in place - thanksfully I didnt lose any data either.
    I managed to fix my sync problems and crashing Settings. Not sure what the specific solution was but it involved -
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
    Reset iPad to factory and then restore from back-up
    Turned off iCloud
    Reset my Apple id password
    Backed up all my contacts from Mac Contacts and then reimported them
    Synced my iPad through iTunes, syncing the contacts (with the option 'Replace everything on the iPad')
    Re-enbaled iCloud sync on the iPad
    The Mail, Contacts and Calendars panel in Settings no longer crashes, and all my data is again syncing perfectly across the Win7 Outlook 2010, the Mac Contacts app and the iPad Contacts app.
    It felt like a bit of a black-magic solution, and I'm still not sure what the underlying cause of my issues was. Fingers crossed it all hangs together until the next iOS update.
    Good luck!

  • How can I get iCloud on my PC to 1) update my new e-mail automatically and 2) alert me to new e-mails?

    I've started using iCloud on my PC to manage my e-mail / calendar / reminders, because Outlook stopped syncing correctly with my iPhone.  However, it seems like to the only way I can get iCloud on my PC to update my e-mail is to select the Get Mail icon at the bottom left of the email screen. 
    How can I get iCloud to 1) update my e-mail automatically and 2) alert me to the arrival of the new e-mail?

    The issue here is an expectation the program will or can do something when it is not running. (At least I think that is what your saying.
    I leave Thunderbird running for days at a time, as it does not clof up my task bar, simply leaving a rectangle around it's icon on the task bar.
    while running like this is puts up new mail notifications a small box in the bottom right of the screen and places an icon in the notification area on the task bar.
    What happens to this options I have no idea in Windows 8. I bought it but never installed it because it would not boot to the desktop. But as Windows 8 still has a taskbar, I assume they all do exactly the same things.

  • IPhone 5 iOS 8.1.  Message and email alerts don't work.  Help!

    Message and email alerts are not working.  Vibration working fine.  Alerts also produce vibration.  I've seen a number of similar posts.  Thanks!

    OK. Called my service provider today. Apparently razmee209 was right. Bell/Virgin network is experiencing LTE problems since September and it affects random people all LTE phones. They said they are working on it. And the solution for now is to turn LTE off and keep the phone on 3G network.
    Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

  • I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

    That's not the correct port. It should be 993 for incoming.
    If you signed into iCloud from the System Preferences, it should automatically create the iCloud account for you in Mail. Sounds like it is an account you already had set up for MMe in Mail.
    Open Mail preferences, open the Accounts tab, disable that account in the advanced pane.
    Open Sys Prefs, open the iCloud tab, and sign out of iCloud. Then sign back in and see if a new iCloud account is automatically created.

  • Is there any way to select all mail messages and delete them?

    I get lots of mail, and most of it I don't keep, or keep over on my MacBook. Is there a way to select all the Mail messages and delete them, or do I need to go through them one at a time?
    many thanks!

    In your inbox in the phone you can mark the mails one by one and then tab delete.
    In Trash you can delete all with one tab.

  • Why won't Messages and Calendar sync/load properly?

    Messages and Calendar do not sync properly between my (new) MacBook Pro and my iPod Touch (4th Gen). Messages keep displaying out of order on my MacBook, and usually one or two are missing. They are perfectly fine on my iPod, no matter which device I send them from. What gives? Every message I send from my MacBook shows up on on my iPod, but my MacBook is messed up. Calendars I create on my MacBook also don't display right on my iPod. I end up with two entries for the same thing, and deleting doesn't work unless I mess around with it for a while. Also, the calendar froze today (on MacBook) and was stuck in September when I opened it.
    My software, on both devices, is completely up to date. So what is going on with Messages and Calendar? Is it a MacBook issue or an iCloud issue? I don't see how it can be an iCloud issue because my iPod runs off the same iCloud account and is perfectly fine. Only my MacBook seems to be having issues. It's brand new, thoroughly updated, and I'm not an idiot so I really don't think the issues are anything I've done. It's annoying and frustrating because it will tell me I have a new message but when I open Messages it automatically opens to many days previous in the conversation string, and when I manage to scroll down to the bottom the new message isn't there (because my messages are out of order).
    Seriously annoying issue. I bought a MacBook so that my devices would SYNC and I could have a STREAMLINED network of gadgets and apps. Could have stayed with Windows if syncing wasn't going to work anyway. Certainly would have been cheaper!!

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash.

  • Best way to move Mail, Contacts, and Calendars

    I'm adding an additional server to my network to distribute some of my services and I would like to move the mail, contacts, and calendar services to this new server. It will be a ML machine running 10.8.5 with Server 2.2.1. I have these services already running on another server also running ML 10.8.5 and server 2.2.1.
    What's the best way to move the data between these two machines? Any suggestion are greatly appreciated!

    Mail: mailboxes from /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail can be moved using command line
    - Note the correspondence between mailbox folder name(hexadecimal) and user name, can be extracted using Directory tool)
    - Also if u want to have the same username - hexa key maybe you should export the OD. Personally I would just rename old folder to new hexa key)
    - Do not forget to also check(mimic) the folder group/owner rights
    Calendar&Contacts: Use Export and Import.
    I honestly think this are the best ways (fast&clean).
    Also I think they are safe, mail 100% is transferred and for Calendar&Contacts I am not aware of any data that can be lost during export-import.
    (of course you can also replicate your server using DiskUtility create new image, and then deactivate unwanted services)

  • Difference between Accounts in Address Book and iCal vs Mail, Contacts and Calendars Accounts?

    Trying to wrap my head around iCloud's capabilites right now.
    In System Prefs, there is the Mail, Contacts and Calendars setting. In there, I can set up syncing with contacts and calendars via a Google account there. However, when I open up iCal (aka calendars) and Address Book (aka contacts), they ALSO have their own seemingly independent syncing options.
    I'd ideally like to keep a copy of my contacts and calendars synced through Google and iCloud.
    What is the optimal way to do this?
    Thanks in advance...

    A) Contacts)
    1. Open www.icloud.com
    2. Open Contacts
    3. Mark All Contacts > CMD + A
    4. Click on the small icon in the lower left corner
    5. Choose Export vCard...
    6. Open your "Address Book" on your Mac and choose "File > Import"
    B) Calendar)
    At the moment there is no option to download/export all the data, but you could share the calendar back to your Mac by opening the www.icloud.com website, then...
    2. Open Calendar
    3. Click the samll "Share" button behind the name of every calendar and share it with your account.
    or
    Add your wife's account just temporary on your Mac (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account), then
    2. Open "Calendar" on your Mac
    3. Wait until it finished synchronizing all the of her events
    3. Mark the Calendar by clicking on the name of your wife's calendar
    4. Open the menu "File > Export" + safe the file on your desktop
    5. Delete your wife's account again in Settings
    6. Open the calendar again
    7. Open the menu "File > Import" + choose the file from your desktop
    8. Choose your preferred calendar

  • Share Extensions (Mail, Messages, and Flickr) Not Showing

    The ShareKit extensions for Mail, Messages and Flickr are not showing in the Share Menu, or the Extensions System Preference. Everything else is fine. I do have a Flicker account set up in Internet accounts. I’ve repaired permissions, and tested it in other accounts on my Mac - same thing. Can’t share to Mail, Messages or Flickr. I’ve even tried the terminal command from https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203129. Shows them loading, but not showing in the System Preferences or the Share menu. Yes, I even closed both System Preferences and Safari.
    Any suggestions? I really would like to resolve this.
    Thanks.

    A better way than Import would've been to use Migration Assistant, which you still can.
    Or you could try Import emlx to mbox, See if this helps...
    http://www.cosmicsoft.net/emlxconvert.html
    Import one box at a time and then drag the mails from the Imported mbox to Inbox or whatever.

  • Exporting Mail Messages and Addresses to Outlook

    Hello,
    I have had to move my wife from her 12" PB to a WinTel (XP Pro) box (to be compatible with a school network and application suite). Yes, an unfortunate downgrade, but the school "encourages" it - i.e., the Mac is unspported.
    She has about 1,200 emails on the Mac that I'd like to export to the dreaded Outlook. Trouble is, there doesn't appear to be any way to get the mail messages out of Mail.
    Does anybody know how I could do this so that she'd have all her emails in Outlook and would be able to reply to them?
    Thanks!

    Tried exporting entire folder from Mac mail, (drag folder to desktop = makes an .MBOX file). Shortened filename.MBOX but PC Outlook still refuses it.
    According to Entourage Help, expor is also an .MBOX file, so no go either. But! note below in E. help:
    • If your Windows-based program cannot import messages as an MBOX-format text file, you can copy individual messages instead. To copy an individual message, save it as a SimpleText text document or an Entourage e-mail message and copy the file to the Windows-based computer. Then import the message as a text (.txt) file or an e-mail message (.eml) file, depending on the format in which you saved the message.
    DRAT! Individual messages, not the entire folder. Bummer. Am searching for a workable method for whole folders, will post if I find a solution.
