Message with sound for events created on iPhone

For the past 2 years whenever I created an event in the calendar on my iPhone 3G (iOS 3.1.3) with an alert, this would sync over MobileMe and create an event in iCal with an alert of "Message with sound".
Suddenly last week this behavior changed to creating iCal alerts of "Message" (no sound).
I am not using the MobileMe calendar beta, just same old iPhone, MobileMe sync, iCal as always. I do not have a default alarm set for iCal (never have).
Anyone know how I can change this back to "Message with sound"?

I have the same problem, but I'm not using MobileMe. When I create an event in my iPhone4 (IOS4.1) with an alert, I want this event to show up in iCal with an alert of "Message with sound" after syncing with iTunes. Otherwise I have to check every new event that I created on my iPhone again on my Mac to change the alert type. Probably some people want it otherwise and would rather have the "Message" (without sound) type of alert, so the best thing would be to have the choice between sound or no sound on the iPhone when entering a new event with an alert.

  • Possible to change default alarm from "Message with Sound" to "Email"?

    I was wondering if there is a way to change the default alarm when creating an event in iCal, from "Message with sound" to "Email". The option is not available in preferences, and I was just hoping that there might be a way to change the default, using Terminal, and if not, perhaps there is another way. If anyone knows of a way to accomplish this, I’d sure appreciate it.
    Thanks very much for your help.

    Your not alone - I'm also looking for a solution to this problem.

  • ICal default alert always Message with Sound? (10.7.3)

    Please, can I have an option to change this setting? If I set the preferences to generate an alert with new events, it always has 2 alerts, one message and one sound (I think it is a recording of one of the mechanical parts of a MBP breaking ). Is that normal behaviour. I see it independent of the backend (local calendar, Exchange, Google, you name it.) Message is fine, but I don't want (any) sound.

  • How to change default alarm sound for events

    I remember initially when setting up ical, it gave an option to set a default sound for messages. I want to change the sound, but cannot find the option to do so. currently when creating a nerw event, the message with sound option shows up with the default sound (Basso) that I selected initially. And I have to change it manually every time a new event is created. Is there a way to change the default sound?

    Settings > Sounds > Calendar. Maybe it was inaudible because yoursound was not turned up.

  • Events created on iPhone not syncing to iCal when I bought new Leopard iMac

    that pretty much says it all... i had a powerbook g4 and no problem syncing. bought new iMac with Leopard. just noticed that events created on iPhone not showing up on iCal. Ideas?

    Ok, this will work.
    1. Turn off .Mac Sync in System Preferences.
    2. Open iCal and back up your calendar. File>Back up iCal. +(Just to be safe.)+
    2. In iCal, export all your calendars as file(s). File>Export. +(Note: You can safe these to folders that are in a similar order to the calendar groups that you might have for ease in importing them back in later.)+
    3. Delete all your calendars from iCal. +(Note: You will need to create a new "temp" calendar as iCal requires at least one calendar. *Also, it is very important to save the URL's of the calendars that you subscribe to for later importing.*)+
    4. Import the calendars you just exported. +(Note: First add a new calendar to iCal and use the same name as the calendar that you are importing. All the data from your exported calendar will be added to your new calendar.)+
    5. Open iTunes sync with iPhone, telling iTunes to reload all the info on my iPhone +(pertaining to iCal)+ INFO Tab>Replace information on this iPhone>check Calendar.
    It's a pain and takes a while if you have a number of calendars, but it will work.
    Good luck!

  • Problem with GarageBand for iOS 6/7 Iphone 3gs / 4

    Problem with GarageBand for iOS 6/7 Iphone 3gs / 4
    Hello,
    On February 16, bought the GarageBand for iOS which was free and so I find and install it on my 3GS .
    Take the demo: Curtain Call Demo
    and within the instruments :
    audio Recorder
    Sampler
    Smart Drums
    Smart Strings
    Smart Bass
    Smart Keyboard
    Smart Guitar
    Keyboard
    Drums
    Guitar Amp
    1.4.1 is the latest version for ios 6.
    Configure my AppleID on a Iphone 4 and install the program , the version I have the Iphone 4 is the orange ( different from 3gs ) icon and put it on the AppStore : ios 2.0.1 for ios7.
    With these instruments :
    audio Recorder
    Sampler ( to download the instrument )
    Smart Drums ( to download the instrument )
    Smart Strings (Download the instrument )
    Smart Bass ( to download the instrument )
    Smart Keyboard ( to download the instrument )
    Smart Guitar
    Keyboard
    Drums
    Guitar Amp ( to download the instrument )
    and if I give what I need to restore tells me if I bought it I did not restore anything and tells me to buy :
    Complete collection of GarageBand instruments and sound at a price of : € 4.49
    As they are 2 different versions ? More than anything I say because I have to pay for the instruments in the 2.0.1 version of the Iphone 4 ... ?
    And besides not wearing demo Demo Curtain Call : (
    GarageBand 1.x If you are upgrading it using iTunes on a Mac or PC, you can restore the original collection of instruments and sounds. There is no need to buy this collection. Press "You've already purchased?" When displayed on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
    this puts on the AppStore but I have tried to restore as I wrote above, and does not work. There is nothing to restore.
    regards

    I've been having the same problem. However, I believe my problem is due to the 3G issues I've been having. I don't have internet access even when the 3G symbol appears, so probably my iphone keeps trying to connect to the network and has its battery drained! Have you been having the same issue?

  • ICal - google calendar no SMS or Message with sound

    Hello,
    few weeks ago I found that I could not add "Message with sound" alert to my iCal's Google calendar which brings me to no SMS alerts.
    Is it anything wrong with my iCal, Google calendars (I can add Message with sound to iCloud calendars) or it is something Apple/Google recently changed?
    If I add Message with sound alert using iCal - it automatically disappears. However, if I add SMS alert on Google side I have SMS alerts even if it does not reflect anyhow on the corresponding iCal entry.

    There is a big discussion on this topic on the google calendar forum: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=7f08411ae09ca8da&hl=en
    As I wrote there:
    I'm suffering the same, but I have some more information about it.  I have multiple delegates, so I have had the "good fortune" to be able to have some of them go bad and still have others to experiment with. 
    The ones that have gone bad are those where I made a change in iCal and then tried to refresh. 
    When I made changes on my google calendars I was still able to refresh in iCal and have the change show up.  But as soon as I made a change in iCal, the refresh gave that error message.
    Also, I just downloaded the newest OS (OS 5) for my iPod touch (gen. 3).  That was yesterday afternoon.. and yesterday evening is when I first noticed this problem.  I can't imagine it's simply coincidence.
    I just discovered one more thing.  Even the calendars that don't work both ways continue to work one way; changes made on Google Calendar continue to show up in iCal, even though the error message shows up that it can't contact the server or has the wrong address.  It's almost like the relationship has turned into "subscriptions" rather than "delegates".
    I have restarted my iMac and repaired permissions with no success.
    iMac running 10.6.8
    Accessing Google Calendar with Safari.

  • Events created on iphone over a week into the future do not sync with mac

    Hello,
    I have the following problem: whenever I create an event on iCal on the iPhone (2.2.1 3G), this newly created event sync backs fine to iCal on my mac (macbook running 10.5.6), as long as it occurs within 7 days into the future. Any events that lie more than 7 days into the future will not sync back from my iphone to the mac.
    Example: today is 3/3. Any events create on the phone for 3/3, 3/4 ... 3/9 WILL sync back to ical on my mac. Events for 3/12 do NOT sync. Events for 3/10 8am did sync, but 11pm did not. Forget about your dental appt 6 months from now. As if there is some arbitrary "7 day in the future" cutoff.
    I called phone support, thinking there may be a hidden setting or so that I overlooked, and that was utterly useless. The Apple rep suggested to look in the app store for an application that might fix this. "Besides", he said, "nobody creates events more than 7 days in the future". ***?
    Looks like a bug to me, but maybe I overlooked something.
    Can anybody confirm this behavior?
    Is there any setting that I can try?
    Any procedure that I should try?
    ny other suggestions?
    Thanks much!
    Erik

    Before i began syncing calendar events over the air with my MobileMe/former .Mac account, I synced contact info direct with iCal on my Mac via the iTunes sync process. I had no problem syncing events created more than 7 days in the future with the direct sync with iCal on my Mac, and I don't have this problem syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account.
    I believe there is a setting under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences for syncing calendar events. I no longer have this available for my iPhone sync preferences since I'm syncing calendar events over the air with my MM account. I know the setting includes an option for syncing events in the past, but I don't recall if it included an option for syncing events in the future. There should be a setting for syncing all events. Is this selected?
    There is also a setting on the iPhone for syncing all events, or events 2 weeks back, or 3 months back, but nothing for limiting syncing events in the future such as limiting this within the next 7 days.

  • Rouge alerts on iPhone for events created on Mountain Lion

    When I add calendar events in iCal the event shows no alerts, but when syncing the calendar with the iPhone there is an alert for 15 hours before. I can delete this alert off on the iPhone but it is a pain to have the computer show no alerts and then have the iPhone show an alert. If I create the event on the iPhone there is no issue.
    Any ideas?? Thanks

    i also should've mentioned that my calendars don't show in Mobile Me either. The headings do but for some reason there are no entries visible.

  • I'm in a group message with 12 people. All are iPhone users, except for the token Galaxy user. I can receive messages, but I cannot send them. How can I fix this?

    Title says it all

    Hey kenth93939!
    Here is an article for you about group messages that has some helpful information and troubleshooting tips for this issue:
    iOS: Understanding group messaging
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
    The Group Messaging setting applies only to MMS messages.
    Your wireless carrier may restrict the maximum number of recipients allowed in a group message with MMS.
    Disabling Group Messaging has no effect on iMessage behavior. Responses to group iMessages are always sent to all recipients.
    Group messaging with MMS requires an appropriate plan from your carrier for use on iPhone.
    Carrier messaging rates may apply when using group messaging with MMS.
    Additional Information
    It is not possible to remove yourself from a group message.
    To add or remove recipients, you must create a new group message conversation.
    If you experience an issue with iMessage, SMS, or MMS messaging, try the steps outlined in this article.

  • Events created on iPhone NOT synching to Calendar - and I'm all up to date

    I'm on a MacBook, running 10.4.10, all software is latest up to date, running iPhone 1.0.1.
    I have a Calendar event I created yesterday for today (3pm appt). I've plugged/unplugged to sync repeatedly, iTunes reports sync is finished, but the event doesn't make it onto the MacBook's Calendar.
    This is deeply alarming as I thought I could count on iPhone created events to migrate to my Mac and .Mac calendars - anybody know anything more about this?
    -mike

    I'm experiencing a hybrid variation of what everyone else in this thread has reported.
    *Calendars*
    I am using Entourage, and have two calendars set up in iCal. One is labeled Entourage and according to the notes, "This calendar is automatically created by Microsoft Entourage" so I'm leaving that one alone. I also created a second calendar named "iPhone". I have my iPhone sync preferences in iTunes set to sync with both calendars. Up until today (I hadn't synced calendars in a few days), everything seemed to move to and fro without any issues.
    This morning though, the items I changed in iPhone successfully synced to both calendars in iCal, but did not carry over to Entourage. Even the "Entourage" calendar in iCal reflects all the changes. Similarly, items I added in Entourage are not making it over to the iPhone.
    In iTunes, I have the preferences set to add new events from the iPhone into the Entourage calendar.
    *Contacts*
    Contacts don't appear to be syncing in either direction.
    Short story long, it looks like iCal and the iPhone are getting along swimmingly, but Entourage isn't syncing. I find this odd since the Entourage-created calendar in iCal looks fine - I would think if Entourage is showing as updated in iCal...then it would be updated in Entourage.
    I did reset the sync history...that didn't appear to do anything helpful.
    Entourage is my main calendar/address book...so this is a bit frustrating.

  • Calendar events created on iphone do not sync to ical...

    I have created several events on my iphone calendar then watched them disappear when performing a sync with my laptop. I have gone to itunes, hi-lited my iphone (when mounted) then gone to "info" tab in itunes, I've selected "home" where it says "Put new events created on this iphone into the calendar" (pull down menu)
    None of these phone-created-events end up in "home" or "work" or any of my other calendars. My laptop ical overrides anything on the phone and deletes it. Is there something else I should be checking or setting? I have the most current version of iphone software that's been offered (1.1.4). I would like to be able to put an event in there and have the sync work both ways.

    Never mind. For some reason it just worked. I guess I really meant it this time.

  • Event created on iPhone does not appear in iCal

    When I create an event on my phone and sync, it does not appear in iCal. Events created on my laptop sync without issue. Contacts sync both ways, but calendar events do not go from the phone to the computer. I am not using MobileMe to sync, simply using the USB cable.
    I have tried the following to resolve my issues:
    * Make sure iTunes and iPhone are up to date
    * Make sure all calendars are set to sync with iTunes
    * Try different USB ports on the laptop
    * Restart phone and computer
    * Reset sync history in iSync and re-sync
    * Follow directions in this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 to do a full reset of sync history and re-sync
    Yet after trying all of those solutions, I still cannot sync events created on my phone to my laptop. Does anyone out there know of anything else I can try that might work?
    Thank you,
    Cameron

    After a trip to the genius bar, I found how to solve this problem, at least for me:
    0) Plug in iPhone
    1) Start iCal
    2) Export all calendars (File -> Export)
    3) Quit iCal
    4) Delete all calendars from ~/Library/Calendars
    5) Start iCal
    6) Import all exported calendars
    7) Start iTunes, configure syncing to overwrite calendars on phone
    8) Sync iPhone
