Setting a profile for calendar event

I would love to be able to set a certain profile for a calendar item. Surely with everything a BB can do it do this and I am just missing the setting.
Any help? Thanks,
Randy

I doubt if you can have such a profile setting. But, you can use the car hands-free to use voice-dialling, instead of scrolling up to the contacts to make calls. Also, you can set up the hands-free profile to answer calls automatically (Settings -> Enhancements -> Car kit -> Auto answer = on). This means, once you connect your phone to the car-kit, you will be able to answer calls without pressing any buttons - neither in the phone or in the car-kit.

Have problem setting Email alerts for Calendar events. Warning message says I need to set up a card in Contacts with my email. I do but it doesn't recognize it. How do I indicate the email I want alerts sent to?

The system of setting up email alerts for Calendar events worked fine in Snow Leopard but since I upgraded to Mt. Lion Calendar won't let me set email alerts. When I try, I get an error message saying I need to set up a card in Contacts for my email. I have a card set up in Contacts for both of my email addresses but it doesn't recognize them. Perhaps the name I have on the card doesn't match a name that Calendar is looking for. Calendar doesn't seem to have a way in Preferences or elsewhere to indicate the email I want alerts sent to. Any ideas how I can get this system working again? Thanks for your help.

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
See if another contact is marked as this is my card.

Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!! SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.

The issue: Outlook to iPhone sync failure – Sync suddenly stopped working for calendar events but continued for contacts and notes.   Finally Fixed!!!
SUPPORT TEAM – PLEASE SEE THIS – Complete explanation of cause and correction steps.
The cause: It is now clear what caused this problem. For years I had several “all-day” events in my Outlook calendar (birthdays, anniversaries, etc.). In May 2012 I decided to make some of them one hour events so I could add alerts to remind me of the event. I did this by dragging them in Outlook to the time I wanted and expanding them to the time slot desired and then adding the alarm.
The symptom: Syncing stopped working for the calendar but continued working for contacts and notes. I didn’t realize sync was failing until months later when I missed two very important phone calls, so when I noticed it the cause was not obvious.
The failed attempts: I’m head of a software firm and my calendar sync is a crucial to my business life so I took this on with a vengeance. From a quick look at events in Outlook and the iPhone I could see that the problem started in May 2012. Events before May were in both Outlook and the iPhone but events after May were only one or the other. Unfortunately I had changed several other things at the same time relating to other events so again the cause was not obvious. MANY calls with AppleCare proved them incompetent so my internal IT guys assisted trying many things. We tried a huge number of calendar changes and several versions of iTunes, iPhone OS and Office as well as both iPhone 4 and 5, all without success.
The fix: After 18 months of frustration, MANY hundreds of $ expense and MANY hours of wasted time I saw a blog that had a calendar sync problem and it indicated all day events were related. I changed the display of the Outlook calendar to the list view, added columns so I could see “all day” event check marks as well as times of events, sorted on the “all day” event column to move them to the top, and for all events that were “all day” events AND had a start and end time, I removed recurrence and then added the annual recurrence back…
After I fixed all events that had BOTH “all day” set and had a start/end time, I tried another sync. It synced for the first time in 18 months!
Problem occurred May 2012 – fixed Nov 2013

Hi, to remove dummy '_ModGrp' entries, rather than crashing the 'Suppr' key on your keyboard, you can use this basic VBA macro (launched for instance from Excel).
It will recursively remove all '_ModGrp...' folders
Sub RemoveFolders_Click()
    Dim oOutlook As Outlook.Application
    Set oOutlook = New Outlook.Application
    Set objNameSpace = oOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    Call CleanFolders(objNameSpace.Folders)
End Sub
Sub CleanFolders(objFolders As Outlook.Folders)
    For i = objFolders.Count To 1 Step -1
        If Left(objFolders(i).Name, 7) = "_ModGrp" Then
            objFolders.Remove( i )
        Else
            If Not objFolders(i).Folders Is Nothing Then
                Call CleanFolders(objFolders(i).Folders)
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

Duplicate alarms for calendar events on N9

I noticed I get multiple alarms for calendar events on my N9. For some events, I get four times the same notification. I also sometimes get notifications for deleted events.
I sync my calendar over bluetooth. Since I had some troubles setting up the sync, I deleted the calendar a few times and synced again. So I have the impression that the alarms of the events of the deleted calendars are still stored in some database. I guess this causes the same alarm to be triggered multiple times and alarms for deleted events to be displayed.
Is there a way to re-generate the internal alarms database?
(I did already upgrade to PR1.1, this didn’t fix it.)

I used BT sync with Windows 7 (64 bit), because I was not able to do USB sync (as N9 is not supported by any Nokia PC sync soft). After that I had a real mess: Each event was multiplied to occur multiple times during a day, thoughout each week, throughour each year, e.g. for example meeting scheduled for 10am on October 20, 2011, occurred a number of times on the same day, and each previous week until 2005 (when my calendar starts). An event that was scheduled back in 2005 occurred each week throughout 2011. The same thing happened to my Outlook. So you can imagine a mess that I got with my calendar after syncing with N9. Thanks that I had intact calendar on my Ipad and was able to restore my Outlook. I had to to manually correct calendar on N9 (because any further attempts to sync with Outlook) resulted in the same mess. When I say manually I mean that I deleted all entries (takes time) and re-entered only ones that I really needed (such as birthdays, other anniversaries and meetings from October 2011 forward). After that I did not risk syncing N9 with Outlook anymore in expectation of a decent sync software from Nokia (which I doubt will come, since even their latest soft Nokia Suite is not supporting N9 (although there some users were able to successfully sync with PC Suite, and some installed previous version of Ovi Suite, upgraded it to Nokia Suite and it works now for them -- but not for my very special N9). Having fianlly lost confidence in Noikia I decided to become a happy user of iPhone (with all or at least most soft needed being put in place by Apple or 3rd parties).

Alarm for Calendar Events

For calendar events, is there any way to hear the alarm beep through the headphones?
I find it incredibly frustrating that I am unable to hear any event alarms when I'm listening to my music.
I have a 1st Gen iPod Nano.
I hope I'm just missing some very obvious setting...!
Thanks in advance.
Powerbook G4 17 1.33GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Unfortunately, the only options available are "beep", "silent", and "off".
"beep" uses the internal speaker, "silent" just displays a message on the screen, and "off" does neither.
I was hoping that someone would know of a "hack" that might give me what I'm looking for. After all, the menu click noise can be made to go through the headphones, so it's not as if the software cannot handle overlaying two pieces of audio.
Maybe it'll be part of a future software update.....

How can I stop notifications for calendar events in a shared calendar?

I have a shared iCal calendar in iCloud. I share it with my wife, so she can see my work schedule. It is a bit annoying though that her iPhone keeps doing all my reminders and notifications for calendar events. I want her to able to see and edit my calendar but she'd like very much not to have her phone buzzing all the time.

Andrei1,
     So are you saying that if I, rather than assigning a uint to the column and row number for each tile, just assigned a string to each one in the form "#_#" then I could actually just assign the "adjacent" array directly to it instead of using a generic object to hold those values? In this case, my click event would simply check the indexes, one at a time, of all tiles currently stored in my "selectArr" array against the column/row string in the currently selected tile. Am I correct so far? If I am then let's say that "selectArr" is currently holding five tile coordinates (the user has clicked on five adjacent tiles thus far) and a sixth one is being evaluated now:
Current "selectArr" values:
       1_0
       1_1, 2_1, 3_1
              2_2
New tile clicked:
       1_0
       1_1, 2_1, 3_1
              2_2
              2_3
Coordinate search:
       1_-1
0_0, 1_0, 2_0, 3_0
0_1, 1_1, 2_1, 3_1, 4_1
       1_2, 2_2, 3_2
              2_3
     Essentially what is happening here is that the new tile is checking all four coordinates/indexes belonging to each of the five tiles stored in the "selectArr" array as it tries to find a match for one of its own (which it does for the tile at coordinate 2_2). Thus the new tile at coordinate 2_3 would be marked as valid and added to the "selectArr" array as we wait for the next tile to be clicked and validated. Is this correct?

Color coded categorization for calendar events

I rely heavily on my calendar to track schedules for everyone in my family and I am really unhappy that the ability to color code categories for calendar events is missing - it has been available on every other Palm product I've owned. Does anyone know how to request a specific function? Or has anyone heard that this issues might be addressed?
I am seriously considering going back to my Centro for the calendar. The fancy stuff is great, but the bottom line for me is a functional calendar.
Thanks

That has been suggested to me but it means I would have to track a separate calendar for each family member and pet, meaning more work, not less, and I have found that I get many duplicates when I use more than one google calendar. It's just not convenient and it doesn't give me the option to categorize (medical appts, vet appts, work travel, different school due dates for different people, etc.) by person AND appt. type.
Again, not as simple, quick, visual or flexible as when the function was in the app.
Thank you for the suggestion, though.

Stamina Mode: LED Notification for Calendar Events

Is there any application I should add to the Stamina Mode exceptions list in order to get LED notfications for calendar events? I have already added the respective calendar application to the list so sound notifications are provided but the LED will still not flash.
I have stumbled upon a relevant thread (http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-SP/Xperia-SP-Notification-LED-and-STAMINA-Mode/m-p/326146/highl... but it is from the middle of 2013 and the information provided therein might thus be outdated.
Hints/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
nvx
EDIT (2015-03-11):
I just noticed that -- even if Stamina Mode is turned off -- the notification LED lights up only after waking the phone up. Is this by design? I mean, the whole purpose of a notification LED is to, well, notify the user about events that they have missed while the phone was locked / in sleep mode...

Stamina mode has been designed to turn the LED notifications off, as an effort to save as much power as possible. However, in products from Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1 and Xperia Z1 Compact and later, the LED illuminates when there is an incoming call or message when STAMINA mode is on.
I tested here and it works like you say, the LED doesn't flash for calendar reminders even when Stamina is off. I will forward that as feedback but it may perhaps work if you download another calendar application as long as Stamina is off.

I wish to set a repeat for an event but I do not get a customise option on my iphone 4s so cannot set the third monday of the month - only day, weekly 2 weekly monthly or annually - how do I resolve the problem ?

Week Cal uses the calender database already on your phone. It's just a different front end.

Is there a way to set an alert for every event in a single calendar?

Hi all,
Is there a way to globally set an event in just one of the calendars showing in iCal?
For example, I have a "Birthday" Calendar with a bunch of birthday events. I want to set the alert for all of them to, say, noon, without having to edit each and every one.
Thanks!
Greg

To generally add an alarm to all events in a specific calendar you would need to program an Automator Workflow that passes all events of the calendar to an Applescript that adds the alarm.
For your birthdays problem is a predefined solution iCal: If you enter the Birthdays on the cards in your Address Book, and enable the "Show Birthdays Calendar Flag", then you will receive automatic email notifications of upcoming birthdays.

"Fix" for Calendar Events displaying one day early

I posted a question about this a couple of weeks ago, but can't find my original post. No way to search by user name, so I gave up looking for it after 10 or so pages. Because there are several others who have posted about the same problem, I decided to start a new discussion describing the fix that worked for me, with help from Apple Tech Support.
Background of my problem: New iPhone 4S, set up as "new phone" -- calendar events synced via MobileMe without any problems. Or so I thought. Discovered a few days later that any "All Day" event was shown on the day prior to the actual event -- US Holidays and Birthdays in particular. Events with specific start/end times were displaying on the correct day.
Checked these forums and was unable to find a solution, so I made an appointment for the following week with Tech Support to have someone call me. Fred first had me try resetting the phone. Didn't fix it.
Note: Somewhere in our troubleshooting, he had me turn off the Birthday and US Holiday calendars on both the phone and iCal on my computer, then turn them back on and do a sync. This did not correct the event dates. If I remember correctly (I wasn't taking notes), this was before changing any settings in iTunes and didn't fix the problem. However... it *might* have played a part in the final fix, so if the following steps don't fix it for you, try adding in the off/on for the calendars before changing the iTunes sync settings.
What finally worked :
Changing a setting in iTunes to overwrite the Calendar on my iPhone and doing a Sync (bypassing MobileMe entirely). Here's how to do it.
In iTunes, go to the "Info" tab and scroll down to the Advanced section. There are 5 checkboxes there and selecting one or more will overwrite the corresponding items on the iPhone during the next sync only. He had me check Calendar, then perform a Sync.
That worked! For US Holidays, but most of the birthdays were still one day off, except ones I'd entered manually in iCal. All of the misplaced birthdays are published by dates I've entered for contacts in Address Book on my Mac.
I went back to iTunes and checked Birthdays in the Advanced area and performed another sync. That overwrote the Birthday calendar on the phone and now all of my Birthdays and US Holidays are showing on the correct days.
Would have been quicker if I had checked Birthdays at the same time as US Holidays, so when you follow the steps, check both Birthdays and Holidays to save yourself some time.
Hope this helps all of you who are having the same problem I was.

All of my dates are out by one day in ical (and address book). I can change them manually (best advice I could get from Apple), but it keeps happening to me. Any help appreciated, I have 10.8.6; macbook pro, iphone 4s and am frustrated. This seems to be a common problem but I can't find a fix.
In the post above advice is to go to itunes, "info tab", Advanced...but I don't see an "info tab" -
Thanks for any help!

[EWS] Setting attendee status in calendar events

I know I've asked this before, but I'm getting a bit desperate so I wanted to make sure there are no updates that would affect this. I've got an EWS application (direct XML, not the managed API) that migrates calendar events into Office 365. I am setting
attendees by adding "<t:attendee> tags to the XML. Works fine but I really need to be able to set the attendee status to "accepted", "tentative", "declined", etc. I can do this in MAPI by setting various properties
of the entries in the recipient table. But for this application, I need to use EWS exclusively. I assume there is no way I can do this via the XML? What about using an ExtendedProperty? I know how to do that for properties of the event, but I would need
an example of how to set the Recipient Table and properties within that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if you can directly manipulate the properties, but I think you could simulate an Accept/Decline/etc. and get them updated that way.

Limited period for calendar event synchronised in BB Link

Hi All,
In Blackberry Link, I wonder how to set the period I can synchronise my calendar event between my iCal and my Blackberry Q5. Indeed, currently I do not have all my past events.
Thanks for help,
Jérémie

Hi Geek,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use a workflow to achieve your goal.
I recommend to use Start Approval Process action to meet your need.
Here are the detailed steps:
Set the “Require content approval for submitted items” to Yes in the calendar list and select “Only users who can approve items (and the author of the item)” under “Who should see draft items in this list”.
Create a workflow associated with the calendar list and set the workflow to start when an item is created.
Select Start Approval Process from Action, then click these users to set the approver(reviewer). Add a Set Workflow Variable action before the Start Approval Process step and change the settings to be: Set Variable: EnableContentApproval to Yes.
Click Approval in the step Start Approval Process, click Change the behavior of a single task under Customization.
Scroll down to the step When a Task Completes, add Send an Email action below the step If Current Task:Outcome equals Approved and step Else if Current Task:Outcome equals Rejected.
Please refer to the picture below:
After that, the approver(reviewer) will get the email and he/she can click Open Task button in the email to review and complete the task. When the approver approve/reject the task, the user will get an email and the rejected events cannot be viewed by the
users who have no permission to see the draft items.
Best regards.
Thanks

Status indicator for calendar events

Calendar events can be set to busy, tentative or out of office. However, there seems to be now way to have a visual clue to what the status of an event actually is. (I am using an Exchange backed email account).
Even in day-view mode there is no textual info that suggest the status. One had to open the event to check.
Color is already used for different calendars, but possibly some other (graphical) clue could help manage such entries more easily and make one more productive.

There doesn't seem to be a question. Boilerplate follows.
