No Option to Change Calendar Alerts

I just upgraded to a Fascinate after coming from the Droid, and I used the alert feature for my calendar notifications. I don't see the option on the phone to change this. Is it somewhere else on the phone or is this a glitch. I really need this function as the status bar alert is too subtle.

Try this! You can set an alarm to the calendar event. I have provided the steps below.
From the home screen, select Applications
Select Calendar.
Select Menu.
Select Create.
Enter an event title in the Event field.
If an all day event, enable All day then skip to step 15.
 Enabled when a green check mark is present.
Select the From date field.
Set a date then select Set.
Select the From time field.
Set a time then select Set.
Select the To date field.
Set a date then select Set.
Select the To time field.
Set a time then select Set.
Select Calendar.
Select the preferred calendar then select OK.
Enter an event location in the Location field.
 To search the location and attach a map, select the map icon.
To add Participants:
 Specific calendar must be selected.
From the Participants field, enter a name.
 As the name is entered, a matching contact may appear and can be selected at any time.
 Repeat this step as necessary to add additional recipients.
 Alternately, select the contacts icon, select contact(s) then select Submit.
To set a reminder, select Alarm.
Select the preferred setting:
None
On time
5 mins before
15 mins before
1 hour before
1 day before
2 days before
1 week before

  • Can i change calendar alert sounds?

    I have an iPhone 3G. I want to use it as a PDA and need a reasonably loud and long alert sound for some events. Is there a way of changing the alert sound in calendar events from the default short beeps?

    I can't believe you expect people to look up what sound the alert makes before they buy the phone? Really are you a moron? I too am upset with this, I use my state of the art phone that can pretty much do anything for the basic feature of a scheduler and miss everything I put in the **** calender because the alert reminder is so **** quite and only beeps once. Back when I had a 2G jailbroken iphone it was great because I used a hacked program to make a nice loud alarm that repeated up to 3 times in 5min intervals. Much like Palm has been doing for, oh I don't know 10 years! Apple should concentrate less on the marketing side of things with this phone and work more on the functional, it was better when it was jailbroken because you didn't have to wait a lifetime for apple to get around to making the things that people actually need instead of the extra fluff they could live without, at least when it was jailbroken other people fixed all the mistakes that apple left behind.
    I didn't mean to get off on a tangent but it bothers me that a company trying to create such a good product would overlook all the basic necessities to a multimedia device. While I'm at it copy/paste anyone? or heaven forbid AD2P! I mean they did strive to create the best portable multimedia device on the planet you'd think they'd put such a useful feature that even the Motorola razer has!
    Enough bells and whistles guys, next update lets work on something we can actually use for more than a day.

  • Ipad change calendar alert sound

    Is there a way, or 3rd party product, to change the alert sound in the calendar on the iPad? Apple has become way too popular at work, just about everyone has an iPad or an iPhone synced with their outlook calendars. The problem is that when the alert goes off I have no idea if it is mine or someone elses, as they all sound the same.

    Settings>Sounds>Calendar Alerts. There are a bunch of sounds from which you can choose.

  • Changing calendar alert notification sounds.

    I have an iPod Touch 2g and have been able to successfully sync it with the MS Exchange server we have at work. I can set an alarm for it and customize the sound for it so it can change. However, the Calendar event notification sound is on SciFi whenever an event is sent. A search of the forums suggest that the calendar event notification sound cannot be changed, but if this was true it'd be on a more default setting and not on the "scifi" sound, wouldn't it?
    Currently, the only way I can see of changing the event alert sound would be to change the alarm clock sound as this seems to affect it indirectly (the alarm sound was set to sci-fi as well when changing the settings). Is there another way to specify the calendar alert sounds?
    Thanks.

    I've never used it but there is a place to set it on the menubar. Mail > Preferences.. > General tab > New messages sound: Set to one of the built ins or select add/remove to select a custom tone.

  • Calendar Alert Snooze Fix?  PLEASE?!?

    Is there some way to change the snooze behavior in Mountail Lion?  For many kinds of alerts, 9 minutes is useless.  I want to be able to be reminded again in a few hours.  I'd settle for the ability to change all snooze times to 1 hour if possible.
    Apple, I love you, but why must you break things that work and replace them with unified things that don't work?  A 9 minute snooze is great for an alarm clock when you're lying in bed and want just a few more minutes.  When you're at your Mac, trying to get things done, a 9 minute snooze is an annoyance.

    I just found the answer in this thread.  From the Lock Screen in iOS8, you can now swipe left to get the snooze option for a calendar alert.

  • Can Calendar Alerts Be Changed?

    Hi,
    I'm a very happy iPhone user, in fact it is probably the best little device I have ever owned. Apart from the main features it has to offer, alot of the enjoyment I get from it is due to the quirky sounds & tones you can choose for a new SMS, and the sent mail/new mail noises that come with the phone.
    All of these are very subtle and refined, apart from that is the Calendar events reminder alert. In comparison this is clunky and very 'non-Apple' in many ways, if that makes any sense!!!
    I have searched high and low but can't find any way of selecting your own Calendar alert tone, which probably means that its not an option. Does anyone know or have found out a way if it is possible to change it???
    I know its the most minor of quibbles but any help/ideas would be appreciated!
    Many thanks in advance,
    Chris.

    I agree with Fopster. I too have submitted feedback on this issue per your link. Not everyone has a job in a quiet office where they can hear the cute little alerts. Personally, I need something LOUD and Vibrating, that will get my attention when in noisy environments. The ATT Tilt has the best calendar alert I can find.
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • No Option to Change Default Calendar

    I've been struggling with this and can't find an answer anywhere.  On both my iPhone (3GS running iOS 5) and my iPad (first gen running iOS 5), there is no option for me to change the default calendar in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar.  The only options under the Calendars heading on both devices are New Invitation Alerts, Sync, Time Zone Support, and Default Alert Times.  How can I get the Default Calendar option to appear?
    Thanks for any help!

    For what it's worth, I figured it out.
    In addition to my iCloud calendars, I subscribed to CalDAV calendars from my office (from Snow Leopard Server).  For some reason, you can't set or change a default calendar unless you turn off the CalDAV calendars.  At that point, the option to set a default calendar magically appears.  I set the default I wanted, then turned the CalDAV calendars back on, at which time the option disappeared again, but fortunately left my selected calendar as the default.
    Hope this helps someone!

  • Change Calendar default custom alert preference to email with sound?

    Most annoying aspect of the new Apple Calendar is that the preference is pre-set for 2 email alerts at the same time before each event. It's time-consuming to re-set a custom alert time, eliminate the 2nd alert and set my preferred custom alert method every time I add an event.
    I want to re-set my default preference for "email with sound" and have one alert at the "time of the event" unless I choose to add additional alerts.
    Is this possible? 
    Note: I tried changing my Alert preference to "at time of the event" in Calendar Preferences, restarted and the default still shows up as alerting me twice, both 30 minutes before even though it does show as "at tme of the event" in Preferences.

    Hey fberube,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    This feature is currently not available in BlackBerry 10, my apologies but I do not know if or when this feature will be back.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • My iphone calendar keeps changing the alert and second alert times I put in

    Ever since updating to 7.0.2, my Iphone calendar keeps changing the alert and second alert times I input for an event to different times. Why is it doing this and how can I fix it?

    Are you syncing your phone with iTunes and then with iCloud? This can cause duplicates. Sync with one or the other, but not both.

  • What happened to all of the calendar alert options?

    THere were options to get an alert 2 hours, 1 hour, 30 min, 15 min before an event.  Now all I see are Day of 1 or 2ays before and 1 week before.  Where are the other options?

    Thank you so much for the correct and helpful answer to my question!!!

  • Iphone 4s calendar alert issue

    I tend to put 2 alerts on my calendar events, one for 1 day before and the second one for 1 hour before (or some other on the day of event).  I have noticed that when I put in the first alert for 1 day before and then enter the second alert for 1 hour before and click done they have somehow been reversed, the first alert is now 1 hour before and the second alert is 1 day before.  I have to click them again and change them to the proper order, this usually take about 3 tries to get them to stay as I want them.  I can them save the event and all is good.  I was at the Apple store and the staff duplicated this issue so I know I'm not the only one experiencing this nuissance.  Has anyone else come across this?  I do hope the upcoming update will fix it.

    Update since Genius visit:
    1) Apple is working on an update
    2) There is no awareness at Apple of this calendar alert issue as a bug, hence it is not being addressed/worked on
    3) Solutions offered by Genius have not resolved this issue.
    Solutions offered by Genius, in order of which to try first:
    1) Delete calendar data from iPhone: Settings>iCloud>Calendars OFF and then restore data from iCloud: Calendars ON
    2) Reset iPhone settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
    3) Restore to factory settings: Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings, then restore data from iCloud and in-app backups.
    4) Use another calendar app (seriously)
    Of course, if the bug is actually part of the iOS software (could it be?) then no amount of erasing and restoring data will fix the issue.  I completed the first two options with no change, and am not willing to do the third option because I am not interested in going through the process of backing up, then restoring all my third-party apps.
    My solution: raise awareness of this issue with Apple, so that it can be worked on and fixed.   I have reported it as a bug through Apple's feedback module: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html and I encourage-- no, ask-- you to do the same, if you are experiencing this issue.  I provided a link to this forum topic to show the variety and detail of problems.

  • How do I remove calendar alerts on my iPhone that were added when I installed Mountain Lion

    Just recently upgraded my Mac OS X to Mountain Lion.  Did notice though that all-day events in my Calendar now have alerts.  Was able to remove them from Calendar in my MacBook, but noticed that they're still there in my iPhone and iPad even after synchronizing these with my MacBook.  Any suggestions on how to remove the alerts from all the all-day events without resorting to manually removing them one by one?

    re: Mountain Lion adding default alerts that you can't get off you iPhone/iPad
    Found a workaround that fixed the problem for me.  All posts and other help did not work on my MacBook Pro/iPhone 4s/iPad 3....Here's what I did.  First, exported each individual calendar to a .ics file on my desktop.  Then removed all calendars.  Then went to Calendar->Preferences->Alerts and selected "None, None, None".  The check box for "use these default settings only on this computer" is checked and grayed out, so I could not change it.  Then went to System Preferences->iCloud and unchecked Calendars and Reminders, and Documents and Data.  Got the warning that it would delete data on MacBook but that's the only option, so I did it and did not seem to lose any data.  Then opened iCal and imported each .ics file from the desktop.  After that was done, I checked Calendar->Preferences->Alerts again and it had changed back to default alert at 9:00am, so I changed again to "None" .  Then I went to iPhone and iPad and in Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, changed Calendars->Default Alert Times-> to "None, None, None". Then on iPhone and iPad went to Settings->iCloud deselected same Calendars and Reminders, and Documents and Data.  Restarted all...sync'd to iTunes, first time checking replace calendar data on iPhone and iPad (Bottom of "Info" tab)...Then sync'd again and all alerts are gone now on all devices and everything is working like it was using Snow Leopard.  Takes a few steps and a little time, but this worked great for me and no issues since.
    One thing to mention is that I tried all these steps without deselecting "Documents and Data" in iCloud settings, and it didn't work.  Had to do each step in above order to get things the way they were before Mountain Lion.

  • Calendar alerts not happening

    My calendar entries have little yellow bells by them, but the Bb's not giving any kind of audible alert tone or vibration when the appt. is due. I've looked in calendar options, profiles, where my Bb is set to "normal," and settings, but nothing about setting the calendar alerts is there.  It seems like such a simple issue--anyone know how to turn on the calendar alert?
    Thanks so much for your time, and best wishes! 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You have to first click on your profile icon, then scroll down and select advanced. Then click on normal if that's what you use. Then you will see all the things you can change the tone for. Click calendar and adjust as you wish, just remember to hit the back key and save.

  • Calendar alert issue

    Hi all,
    I've got a minor annoying issue. My wife (iPhone 4 with iOS6) and I (iPhone 5 wiht iOS6) share an apple account. On iCloud, we've got two calendars. The first is called "Calendar" which is there for us to put all of our general home stuff (birthdays, vacations, appts, etc) and is intended for both of us to use. I've got a second calendar called "Dan" which is just for me with a bunch of stuff she doesn't care about.
    Here's the issue. In Calendar, she clicked "Calendars" and deselected the "Dan" under "iCloud Calendars". The only other calendar her Calendar app now shows is our default shared calendar. So, anything I put on the "Dan" calendar no longer shows up... yay! HOWEVER, alerts from my "Dan" calendar still appear on her phone. In other words, if I put an event called "test" on JUST my "Dan" calendar with an alert to go off at 1:00, at that time, BOTH of our phones go off and display alerts. The Event still doesn't show up in her calendar though.
    SO, my question is, how can she make it so alerts from "Dan" calendar don't show up on her phone? It's annoying for her, and not cool for me if I want to put in an event that she shouldn't know about.
    Thanks,
    Dan P.
