Mavericks 10.9.5 Calendar issue

Recently it has started that when I receive an email invite, as soon as the message comes in, brings calendar to the front and makes it the active window.  This is very annoying in the middle of a presentation.  What settings need to change to disable this feature, before I bail on calendar entirely?  My calendar cannot interrupt my presentations, and I cannot turn off the calendar as I'll start missing meetings.  My older Mac gets too slow using notification center.
Any ideas?

If you don't want it to interrupt a presentation then quit it before you start the presentation. Very simple solution.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks - and iCloud.   Calendar will not stop 'updating' - and has not synced all entries across all devices/calendars.

    Hello Apple Support Community;
    I am looking for some help on several matters related to my upgrade to OS X Mavericks this week.   THIS issue is one related to CALENDAR.
    I believe that I have done everything (as instructed) to install, activate, and sync contacts and calendars via iCloud - immediately following my upgrade to Mavericks earlier this week.   When I opened CALENDAR for the first time - from the Dock on my computer (not the iCloud calendar) - after upgrading to Mavericks and setting up iCloud - CALENDAR provided a pop-up notification stating "Moving calendars to server account..." with a moving "candy cane" progress bar.  
    This has been "updating" for about 12 hours, now.   And while open and "updating" - it will not allow ANY other commands, scrolling, or menu options.   Additionally, I am unable to close this calendar of the Mac, unless I 'Force Quit'.   I have, in fact, executed Force Quit, and restarted the Mac.   No change... it still "updates".  
    When I open the iCloud calendar - it opens and works (mostly).   There are events on my iPhone 5 that are not on the iCloud calendar.   And there are events on the iCloud calendar that are not on my iPhone.   I have created new calendar events on each calendar account (iCloud on my Mac and iPhone 5) - and they seem to automatically update each device.   There does not seem to be any obviously rationale for the inconsistency of the calendar (iCloud and iPhone).
    Can you offer ideas for possible solutions to:
    1)  the "permanently updating" calendar from the Dock on my Mac?
    2)  ensure that all events are properly synced across all calendar accounts (and devices)?
    THANK YOU!!

    Hello Phil... I got nothing from the Apple Communities.   May have been very hard to diagnose via my description - or hard to resolve given many possible solutions.  
    The perpetually updating scroll-bar-of-death continued for about a week.
    I DID (finally) get resolution from the Genius Bar in my local Apple Store.   They deleted all prior "local" calendar back-ups and content - as I had my Calendar up on iCloud - which essentially "reset" the calendar function... and then reloaded the calendar, and then pulled in my calendar data from iCloud.  
    They twisted and tweaked a few more things that I was not able to follow (sorry I cannot offer more assistance on these other things).
    They also reloaded Mavericks.  
    Everything seems to be working well now.
    Apple Community... any more guidance for Phil - and others???
    Good luck, Phil.

  • Outlook Sync (Contacts/Calendar) Issues - Progress today........

    Folks,
    I posted another earlier discussion on this topic over the weekend, but since I got my iPhone on Friday, I have probably burned about 20 hours working trying to figure out why I cannot sync my calendar and contacts from Office 2003 "OR" 2007 into my iPhone. When I started this process, 584 of my 1310 contacts did sync, I had NO luck on getting any of calendar items to sync.
    Today we resolved the Contact issue!!! Still working on the calendar issues and if anyone has any further ideas, I am open to it, but it appears for both the contacts and calendar issues, I had corrupt data. You dont know it until encounter it this way.
    Here is what you need to do in order to get the contacts to sync, it worked for me, hopefully it will work for many after me:
    1. Export "ALL" of your contacts to a .CSV (Comma Separated Value for Windows) file. Just export them to your desktop or somewhere easy to find them. As an extra safety net to ensure you dont lose your contacts, back them up also to a .XLS file as well as a .PST file.
    2. Delete "ALL" your contacts out of Outlook. Sync Outlook, especially if your like me and have your contacts and calendar on a corporate exchange server. Be sure you clear your iPhone so there is no contacts on it.
    3. Import the .CSV file to a VCARD file, sync to your coporate server, sync your iTunes and you should now see all your contacts.
    Again, it worked for me and hopefully it works for you.
    Good Luck!!

    Everyone is waiting for this.
    Right now you cannot sync locally between your phone and your desktop. You are forced to upload your contacts to another company's server (read "the cloud") and then download them from whatever device you didn't upload them from.
    Still waiting for this fix please.

  • We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 for our church worship service; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Thank you!

    We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 in our church worship service; we have front screens and a stage display monitor ; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing.  Has this issue been resolved?  Now that we are 2 upgrades behind, I'm getting little concerned.  Thank you!

    Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
    Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
    When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
    When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
    I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
    I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

  • Any way start over from scratch to fix iCloud calendar issues in Outlook 2010?

    I'm suddenly having perplexing iCloud calendar issues in Outlook.  Forget the hundreds and hundreds of duplicate entries for birthdays and holidays, and the thousands of duplicate contacts - I've just been manually deleting them from Outlook.  I also tried manually deleted iCloud files from iCloud on outlook, but this does not seem to affect what is on iCloud itself.  I've now got an issue where if I add an appointment on my iPhone, it appears on Icloud but not in Outlook 2010 even though the iPhone calendar is displayed in Outlook. iPad appointments show up on iPhone, iCloud and Outlook.  iCloud entered appointments show up on iPhone, and iPad and Outlook.  Of course it is maddening that there is a separate calendar for each (there is only one of me, so why a separate calendar in Outlook  for every source is beyond me).  How can I get my iPhone to start showing up again in Outlook?  Another issue is that now every time I click on calendar in Outlook, it takes 2-3 minutes to display the calendar because iCloud seems to be syncing. I'm assuming this is because there a so many duplicates.  I've removed Icloud from Outlook. Ran a repair on Outlook.  Uninstalled iCloud. Reinstalled.  Re-added to outlook., but the issue is never fixed.  I'm considering make a brand new Apple ID and abandoning my current one, but that means I have to change my iPad, iCloud, iPhone, family iPhones, Outlook, readd credit card, reload all of the data.  That's a pain.  I sure would be nice to have a simple way of editing the iCloud data and adding devices (and having a more descriptive source name would be even better).

    I found sync options under "info"
    I was looking to sync the information from the phone back into outlook, It looks like these options will sync what is on outlook into the phone.. 
    I wanted to export from the phone (which has all of the old appointments and updated contacts) , back into outlook
    Any other thoughts?
    Thanks

  • Calendar issues - bugs or do I misunderstand how it should work?

    I'm having a few calendar issues that seem like bugs. I have the latest release installed but I don't remember seeing these problems before updating. I could be wrong though - my memory ain't what it used to be.
    On the calendar week view, if I swipe to scroll down to see the afternoon, I can't swipe back up again. I have to swipe left or right to view a different week before it'll let me view the morning.
    Also, if I go to the month view and open a particular day with an event. If I then swipe on the bottom to go backwards, it shrinks the card and lets me choose another open app (home view?). Instead I would have expected it to return to the previous screen?
    Another problem; I had to tap an event in the week view about five times before it opened the day view. Poor detection?
    Do these sound like bugs? I've only had my Pre for a few days so I'm still learning. Thanks

    Hello and welcome to the forums;
    Going back and forth between morning and afternoon is working fine for me, how many calendars do you have and what kind are they (yahoo, gmail, etc)?
    Going to month view, then tapping on a day and using the back gesture does put you into card mode, because you have not entered a new level of menu, just a different view. If you were to go into a specific event, then you could back gesture to the previous view, but going between day/week/month is accomplished only with the selection buttons at the bottom of the screen.
    Instead of trying to tap a particular event from week view, have you tried just tapping on the date at the top? or somewhere else on the column for that particular day? Do you see the "ripple" on the screen showing that it recognized a screen tap?
    Hope this helps,

  • Ical sync to gmail calendar issues with snow leopard

    I had sync before w/ iCal 3 then it stopped last June.  I'm now running 10.6.8 with the hope that the Sync would be good. Still no luck.  My Gmail account is working find with connection to my Droid just not syncing w/ iCal.  Note I've tried to re-enter the Gmail account with out luck.
    I appreciate the help !
    Thanks

    Harvey,
    The "On My Mac" calendars will not sync, and in my experience are no longer required. They can be safely deleted after making backup copies.

  • Calendar Issues - "Repitition is not working for the item you tried to access"

    I ran into an interesting error when troubleshooting a calendar issue today, wondering if anyone has seen it.
    Exchange 2010 SP2 latest RU, Outlook 2010
    User changes then start time for a recurring meeting, changes in everybody's calendar but hers 9still shows in her calednar as the original start time)
    Logged into OWA to see if her claendar reflected the correct start time there - no, still  shows the old start time.  So I open the meeting, have a quick look, and the following error pops up:
    "Repitition is not working for the item you tried to access.  It's possible either the start or end date are not correct"
    Has anyone seen this error in OWA before?
    TAG

    Hi,
    Please double check whether the updated start time and end time are changed properly in attendees’ calendar. Also confirm whether the updating message is in the organizer’s sent items both in OWA and Outlook.
    Thanks,

  • "Fake event to work around calendar issue"

    I've got a Samsung Stratosphere running Android 2.3. When I search in the Calendar app for an event, it always first briefly shows a list of all events, then shows the search results. Inevitably, at the top of the list of all events is one that says, "Fake event to work around calendar issue." It is set on 01/01/1975 from 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM, with no repeats and no alarm. When I go to that date on the calendar on the phone, there it is, listed on the calendar linked to my e-mail account; but when I check my online Google Calendar, there is no such event on that or any other date on any calendar.
    There seems to be no harm in leaving it there, and I wonder if there'd be any harm in deleting it. A quick Google search showed that this is an event that shows up on many Android phones synced to Google Calendar, sometimes with repeats or alarms. (For example: https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/607134#607134; http://forums.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-x/45510-problems-google-calendar-fake-event-work-around-calendar-issue.html.)
    Has anyone else here experienced this? Has anyone successfully deleted it?

    My little Google search showed it occurring for at least a couple of years now across a spectrum of Android devices from various manufacturers. Which suggests that somehow the big G is responsible for whatever it is. The version history for a 3rd-party calendar app maker suggests that this "bizarre event ... that Google Calendar puts in at times" might be "Bug? Google programmer forgot to remove debug code? Weird kludge by Google Programmers?": http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/PimlicalAndroidVersionAndSlipstreamHistory.htm (scroll down to the bottom). Frankly, striding forward to conquer the world while never getting around to fixing rubbish from years ago seems like Google's M.O. these days.

  • RIM Facebook 1.7 Calendar Issues (with Google sync)

    I know that the Facebook app calendar issues have been documented all over the web and in other posts on this forum; but I still have been unable to figure out the best solution to this problem. 
    I am using the latest version (1.7) of the Facebook app and the latest version of google sync.
    Despite unchecking the calendar sync option for the Facebook app, it ALWAYS eventually hijacks the "device default" calendar for my BB (curve 8330) and adds all my friend's birthdays.  It sometimes happens after a battery pull, other times it seems random.  Despite deleting the facebook cical entry, it will always come back eventually. 
    I am unable to set anything other than facebook in my default calendar option under options>advanced>device default. When I delete the facebook cical, the default calendar selection (options>advanced>default services) disappears entirely I assume that this is because there is no option other than the device default. 
    I have NEVER had a cical entry for my google calendar.  I'm assuming the google sync app does not need a cical entry.  I'm also assuming that the lack of a cical entry is what is preventing me from selecting my google calendar as my default, which is what many suggest to solve this problem.  I cannot select my google calendar as a default, which isn't a problem until facebook hijacks my calendar.
    Previous to FB app 1.7, everytime my calendar was hijacked, google sync would become a one way street (events would sync from the web to my phone, but not vice versa).  To remedy this, I would delete the facebook cical, RSET the calendar manually, and re-sync my google calendar.  This would work fine until the next time FB hijacked the calendar.
    Now (in FB 1.7), despite hijacking my calendar, it does not appear to interrupt google sync in either direction.  My google calendar is now named "facebook," but birthdays do not sync to my google calendar.  It is very odd indeed and worries me that this convoluted setup is going to mess up my online google calendar at some point.
    Unchecking the calendar option in the facebook app should prevent it from creating a cical entry. Period.  This is very frustrating and discouraging to see RIM update this app from 1.5 to 1.6 to 1.7 without fixing this obnoxious issue.
    Has anyone else been able to find a solution to this problem?

    Had the same problem here plus the same event kept getting duplicated 20 to 30 times per day.
    I tried all of the solutions that people suggested:
    removed facebook cical
    set default email to another email address
    battery pull
    none of that worked; there was still a "default" email with all of the replicated events.
    Then I stumbled upon a Blackberry tip to move all events into one email account.  So, I moved everything into my GMAIL account, and the "default" email disappeared.  Apparently, if a calendar account is deleted without deleting the events (as was the case with Facebook) the rogue events stay in a "default" calendar.
    I then used Blackberry desktop manager to create a sync to MS Outlook.  I opened Outlook and did a search for the replicated events (by name).  494 replicated events were found, so I selected all of them and deleted them.  I then went back to Blackberry Desktop Manager, re-synced, was prompted to remove the events and WHAM, problem solved.
    Make sure that you uncheck he calendar feature in the Facebook for Blackberry App options.
    I hope that this helps others!

  • "Fake Event to Work Around Calendar Issue" on Google Calendar

    My husband noticed the following message on two days of his Google Calendar on his phone "Fake Event to Work Around Calendar Issue".  Has anyone else had this experience and if so, why did it happen? How do we avoid in the future"?
    I logged onto the calendar online and it doesn't appear there, just on his phone.
    Thanks

    What Calendar APP are you using? Sounds like an APP issue to me, since you're not seeing it on GOOGLE Calendar online. I am not seeing your error on mine ...

    Hi   n3lka
    Thank you for your question.
    Owing to not respond, you can try to check the mailbox permission.
    “nothing show in the room calendar itself”, you can make outlook in cache mode, then, you can try to uncheck option “Download share folders”.
    There is a similar thread you can refer to by the following link:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cb057c90-9eaa-4ead-8b1d-68e8ae87c0b0/exchange-2007-room-calendar-issues?forum=exchangesvrclientslega
    when nothing shows in the room calendar itself, you can try to make another user schedule a meeting, if another user schedule a meeting successful, you can refer to the following link to solve it:
    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a31af989-aee1-42f0-88bd-c178c6199379/exchange-2007-room-mailbox-and-calendar-issue?forum=exchangesvradminlegacy

  • OS X Mavericks Calendar issue

    After upgrading to OS X Mavericks, when I open my calendar on my MacBook pro it endlessly says "Moving calendars to server account..."
    I cannot acces calendar, and must force quit.  I have restarted my computer and upgraded Firefox and Safari.
    How do I get my calendar back?

    Re-Selecting a "standard" Date/Time/Number/Currency Format using:
    System Preferences > Languages & Text > Formats
    Choose one off the list that is NOT the same as the one you typically use, and Save changes.
    Then try resetting the Date & Time and Time Zone.
    Then change Languages & Text to the settings you typically use and Save changes.
    this resolved the issue.. But in the process i found out that if we select indian national then the time automatically goes back to SAKA and 1935. I suppose this is a bug for the selection indian national in the settings. Apple probably should address this.

  • Calendar issue with Mavericks?

    I just updated to Mavericks... I opened Calendar and I got this error -
    The server responded:

    to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.
    I hit the OK button and then it pops up right away once again, over and over. I can't do
    anything to my calendar, I can't even get to my preferences...

    I hit OK a few times as i attempted to hit the preferences in the 2 seconds the error was gone.. I got to accounts and deleted my GMAIL account..
