Removed individual alerts continue to override global alerts?

Hi.. I seem to have run into a bit of an odd one... I think I have figured out the cause, but I can't figure out a fix.. and I'd like to see if anyone else can reproduce my findings.
I have recently turned on global alerts for both of the Buddy Becomes Available/Unavailable events which include the default "speak text" alert. This is working fine for all but a couple of my buddies. After some investigation, it seems that the buddies it is failing for are ones that previously had individual Speak Text alerts set for the same two events.
The implication here is that in the config I now have a "do nothing" configured for these buddies which is overriding the global events. I would have expected that removing the buddy-specific events would have left those buddies with no events, allowing the global event to take place, instead of events that tell iChat to do nothing.
Can anyone else confirm this behavior? Seems like a bug to me...
Assuming it can be confirmed, does anyone have any suggestions for fixing the configuration for those buddies?

Hi Matthew,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion pages
I have not had this problem with Global and individual Alerts clashing like this.
The one sure cure is to delete the .plist involved and reset.
Delete com.apple.ichat.plist from User/(your account)/Library/Preferences
This will unfortunately also lose saved Status Messages, Text chat Bubble colours, Font styles amoungst others.

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.

How do I remove an alert for a calendar item that has long since been deleted? and yet goes off mysteriously, un-deletably, and un-editably every single ****** week !!

How do I remove an alert for a calendar item that has long since been deleted? and yet goes off mysteriously, un-deletably, and un-editably every single ****** week !!

I have the same problem with my iPhone. I set up a recurring calendar event for every Thursday. That event is no longer happening during the summer, so I went in and chose one from the current month and selected Delete. Then it gve me two choices, one of which was to Delete All Future Events of this one, and that's what I chose. I figured, this way, I'll still be able to see the ones from the past, but won't have to see (or hear the alert) for the future ones.
The following week, my phone alerted me to the appointment, and even showed it on the initial screen, even though it wasn't in the calendar. I went in to the calendar and NOTHING was scheduled for that day. So why is this happening?
So I set up a new recurring event, for in the past, then went in and deleted all furture occurances, and it did the same thing... still alerted to an event that was no longer in the calendar.
I hope somebody else has found a fix, or at least a reason for why this is happening.

Can I set individual alerts (tones) for each calendar events/ reminders

Can I set individual alerts (tones) for each calendar events/ reminders

Thanks On my phone, these are the options under Menu>Settings & Tools>Sound Settings>Alert Sounds: 1. TXT Message 2. Multimedia Message 3. Voicemail 4. Emergency Tone 5. Missed Call . And under Service Alerts: 1. ERI 2. Minute Beep 3. Call Connect 4. Charge Complete 5. Software Update. So nothing there for the calendar. And options from the calendar that I can see are Add (here you can change the tone for one event or recurring event, but not set a default tone for the event alarm), View (gives you the options of viewing an existing event in more detail, adding a new one, and the same choices from the Options list on the first screen where you are viewing the entire month), and Options (1. lets you view weekly/monthly, 2. Go To Today 3. Go To Date 4. Search 5. Erase All 6. Erase All Old 7. Send. So as far as I can see, there's no way to do it. I have been through all the Settings and Tools menus... and the Events menu. But...I have just discovered that if I delete ALL my alarms and change the Ringtone for the first alarm I set, that ringtone becomes the default ringtone. I will try deleting ALL my events and starting fresh with a new tone and see if that works!

How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5?

How can I remove individual songs from my iphone 5? Right now, all 2013 songs are syncing. I thought that unchecking the songs in the main itunes playlist would remove them form all devices. Apparently this does not work. Under the uphone 5 sync menu there are no selections for individual songs... only groups of songs. Am I missing something?

I just create a playlist and sync only this playlist.
Then just add/remove from this playlist and sync.
Unchecking songs does other thing such as not playing them in iTunes, not syncing them to other devices and not applying changes

You don't.

Acrobat XI installation removes Acrobat X - continued!

I am an instructor and instruct both acrobat x and acrobat xi. on my pc i first installed acrobat x and then acrobat xi. when install xi it removes x, how do i prevent this?
I got answer from Rave to ignore that Acrobat X is installed in Set-up dialog box, and he closed the discussion (at least I can not reply)
When I install XI via creative cloud no setup dialog appears, it just download, unpack and install in one go. So my problem is not solved!
Regards Britta

No, they said it is not possible to run both versions at the same time. So
I uninstall XI and install X when I need it and afterwards I install XI
again

Why doesn't App Store remove updated alerts

iOS 8.1x App Store continues to retain alert notification AFTER an app has been installed/ updated.
This has only occurred since adding iOS upgrade to iPh 4S.
Thanks
dave

Thanks,
but you You misunderstand- the ALERT NOTIFICATION remains on the App Store icon regardless of the updated status.
That is ridiculous. I do not need an alert telling me about something I have already upgraded. Even after 'Open' of apps the alert does not get removed.
An old alert has only departed after new ones replaced it. Dave

How can I remove calendar alerts from my iPhone?

My iPhone 4 (iOS 6) seems to be adding calendar alerts on its own and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove them. I use iCal on my Macbook Pro (running Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to sync my calendar events. None of my events on iCal have alerts set to them and I have disabled all alerts in my iCal preferences. Yet, for some reason, when I look at a calendar event on my iPhone, an alert is set for it.
How do I remove these properly? I do not simply want to silence these alerts, but figure out how they got there in the first place and remove them completely. For comparison's sake, I've included an image of the event from iCal and the event from my iPhone.

Hi pjdemeo,
I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone. As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer. This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
Organize photos and videos - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.
Cheers,
- Judy

Removing an alert. Changing alert state. Resetting an alert

I received a malware alert in SCCM 2012 R2 and it was quarantined by Endpoint Protection. I am thankful for the alert and the functioning email subscription. Now, I can't find a way to remove, reset, or just simple acknowledge the alert in
active alerts. I need it to go back to normal so I can quickly look and verify that currently, everything is good. Also, under monitoring>Endpoint Protection Status> Malware Detected, lists all of the malware that has been found since we
installed the server. Is there any way of removing these, short of the thought of removing in SQL?

It is not a good idea to remove anything from database unless you are under the direction of MS product support.

How do you uninstall or remove custom alert sounds?

I'm using an iMac and I thought I'd try out some new system alert sounds. I hated them and now I can find them to delete them. The alerts show up in system peferences but they're not in the library/sounds folder. I've done a spotlight search for the sound names and nothing come up. Is there a way to remove/delete/uninstall custom system alerts? Help! I hate them!

I have Lion, but run Snow Leopard and always forget that many are forced into Lion.
When you open Finder, do you see the Macintosh HD in the sidebar under Devices?
If not, go to Finder Preferences and check the box next to Hard disks and External disks.
Then select the Mactintosh HD and navigate to the Library / Sound Folder...

How do you override global variable values when calling oraxsl or xsl.exe?

I am a newbie to oracle xslt.
I have down loaded the latest version of xdk (10.1.0.2...). (Jan 2, 2009).
In the past I haveI used micorsoft's "msxsl.exe" to perform my transformations.
I am looking for a more up-to-date transformation tool.
I found Oracle's version, and thought I would try it out.
I have run the "bin/xsl.exe -hh" command.
I read its help data. It states that variables are
passed by coding a pramater "-V <var> <value>".
I have also examined the oraxls.bat file.
I found the documentation on "oracle.xml.parser.v2.oraxsl" class.
It states that parameters are passed after the "-p" switch.
It says the value of the -p parameter is "a list of paramemters".
I don't find this sufficient information to be useful.
I can spend days guessing, and I might get lucky.
I thought it my be better to ask for help.
I need to pass in (override) values for 3 global variables.
I saw the method
"setParam(namespace, variable, value)",
near the documentation for the "oraxsl" class.
How do you format the options string to communicate more than one param statement?
(in either xsl.exe and/or oraxsl class).
Suppose I have an xslt stylesheet as follows:
==================================================
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.1" xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform' >
<xsl:param name='a' select='"default_a"' />
<xsl:param name='b' select='"default_b"' />
<xsl:param name='c' select="'default_c"' />
<xsl:template match='/'>
this is value for a: <xsl:value-of select='$a' />
this is value for b: <xsl:value-of select='$b' />
this is value for c: <xsl:value-of select=$c' />
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
========================================================
Now as part of the calling of the XSL processor I want to change the value of these
three global parameters.
I want:
a="current_a",
b="current_b",
and c="current_c"
How do I express this using xsl.exe and its paramter string (-V ????).
and/or how do I express it to the oraxsl class ( -p (xsl, a,"current_a"), (....) )???
The syntax for specifying this information is not very clear in either situation.
Of course I am making the "assumption" that by "param" they are
refering to "global parameters" (as in my stylesheet), rather than some other global parameters of XLST.
As an aside inquiry:
I had hopped that the Oracle's xsl Verion 2 routine could handle xslt 2.0 commands
such as "xsl:for-each-group", since it handled multiple xsl:outputs.
From reading some of the documentation it seems it only handles xslt 1.0 syntax/commands.
Is this true? (or is the documentation not up-to-date?).
Any help on passing param values to xsl.exe and/or "oraxsl" class is appreciated.
Thanks.

Here is the line from one of my testing .bat files that passed in one parameter. I can't recall if I've passed in two, but this will give you a starting point for passing in multiple
java -cp %CPath% oracle.xml.parser.v2.oraxsl -p show_image='yes' %ValXML% %ValXSLT% As for XSLT 2.0 support, it appears it does per {thread:id=503445}

Is it STILL impossible to remove individual attachments from Mail messages?
