Setting calendar alerts -- What happened to 12 hours?

I always had a 12-hour alert.  Now my alerts are 24-hours out.  That doesn't do me a bit of good and hasn't since ML came out. 
I'm no expert, but normally I can figure this sort of stuff out.  How come I can't have a simple 12-hour notification anymore?  Did I miss something? 

If you open Calendar's Preferences (under Calendars in the menu bar) then choose "Alerts", 12 hours is not one of the default choices, but you have plenty of other choices as shown here:

  • 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.

  • How do I set calendar alerts on iPad for more than 2 days?

    When you add a event it says alert. Tap alert then change to 1 week before.

  • Can't set Calendar Alerts for Google Calendar

    I have several Google Calendars for my work and personal schedules. I've used Apple Calendar (formerly iCal) on my Mac, and the Calendar app on my iPhone to interact with my Google Calendars for years with no issues.
    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can no longer set alerts on any Google Calendar events. When I edit a Google Calendar event using Apple Calendar, I can change any field, including the 'Alert' settings. However, when I click to save my changes, the alert settings are entirely removed.
    In Calendar Preferences, I can set a default alert that applies to all my Google Calendars, but I can't change the settings for any individual calendar event. If I attempt to do so, then Apple Calendar removes all alerts from the event.
    UPDATE: It seems the problem is that Google Calendar doesn't know what to do with a "Message with sound" alert type. You can use "Message" and it works fine (with no sound obviously).

    Strange, I am experiencing the exact problems you describe, however it doesn't matter whether the alert is set as "message" or "message with sound".
    By default, events created in a Google calendar have an alert of "mesage, 30 minutes before". If I try to change the time, add a new alert, or remove the default alert, inevitably it get's reset to the default state.
    Furthermore, If I change the alert using Google Calendar in a web browser, the event in Calendar (aka iCal) doesn't get updated, it stays at 30 minutes. Sometimes I receive the alert an hour before anyway, despite what Calendar indicates. Very Frustrating.

  • Can't share, unshare or add members to a shared calendar. What happened

    I am the owner of a shared calendar but the option to unshare, share or add new members is no longer there. How do I get it back? I set up a family calendar a few years back and all of my family use it to communicate with the other member. I now need to add a new member but when I go through the procedure to add a person the option is not available. In the calendar edit screen it shows me as the owner of the calendar both on my iPad, iPhone and online using my PC. ONline it shows all of the invitees in a list as it should but there is no option to change sharing status or add a new member. As an experiment I added a new calendar and I can set the sharing status on it and add new members.
    What has happened to my ownership status on this calendar and how do I get it back?

    TheMurf1947,
    Not sure if it relevant but I just updated my iPad 4 to IOS 8.1.2 and now I keep getting 'share my location unavailable' when I try and switch the share my location ability off.  I dont have the same issue with my Iphone 5 which is running IOS 8.1.1.  Seems they may have either introduced another bug.
    Its in Privacy --> Location Services --> Share my Location.

  • Why is iphone 5 setting calendar alerts

    My calendar automatically sets alerts on all day events after the OS7 update.  When I go in and delete the alert notification, the delete action appears to save the "none" setting, then the next time I turn my phone on the alerts I already deleted now exist again in my calendar. 

    because you haven't searched this site and read through what causes poor battery performance and how easily it's remedied.

  • Random calendar alerts keep happening from shared calendars

    I work at a 50 person organization. We all have a google calendar.  All staff can see everyone else's calendar.
    On iOS 8.1.2 in the calendar app, when I click "Calendars" at the bottom, I can see a list of all staff calendar.  I can have them ticked to show them, or not.
    When all calendars are unticked other than my own, I only see my calendar appointments.
    The problem is in the notifications.  Without any easy to define pattern, from time to time I will have my phone notify me of random staff members appointments.  These are most often events I have nothing to do with (literally 6am "meetings" to wake up, go for a run etc etc).
    If I click "show details", then quickly go back to the main calendar view, click "Calendars" down the bottom, I'll sometimes see that persons calendar ticked (even though they were all unticked previously) - but not always. 
    This problem has existed only since migrating from a iPhone 5 to iPhone 6. Both were up-to-date on 8.1.2.  On the iPhone 5 I couldn't even see everyone elses calendar so I had no option to subscribe to seeing their calendars in the app.
    When the problem first started happening, it was happening all the time - every 15 minute interval as everyones calendars were reminding them of their next thing.  My phone would buzz like crazy.  It is happening less so now - just a few times a day.

  • Can't Silence Calendar Alerts

    I can't get alerts in iCal to silence. I've turned to "off" the "Calendar Alerts" option in the "Sounds" settings, but to no avail. I use a lot of alerts in iCal on my notebook, which is fine when I'm using my notebook, but I'd rather not have alerts sounding on my iPhone (most of the time). I used to think that only those iCal events that were synced from my notebook were the ones that would sound, but tests show that events created on my iPhone are also oblivious to the Calendar Alerts/Off setting. Searching this forum reveals that this has been a problem since a posting in late July, but 1.1.1 didn't fix it. Does anyone know how to make this feature work? Thanks. (Oh, and if the "Calendar Alerts" setting doesn't turn off calendar alerts, what does it do?)

    Yes, this is driving me crazy. And it's only recent, for me. In other words, it had always vibrated as a calendar alert; I could live with that. Now it's vibrating and chirping too, even though sounds are set to OFF. I've submitted a bug report and encourage everyone to. And if anyone has figured out how to disable this, please let me know. iPhones should be seen and not heard, unless I say otherwise

  • In mountain lion calendar, the alerts on give you a "close" or "snooze" options.  What happen to being able to select how long you wanted to snooze your alert?

    n mountain lion calendar, the alerts on give you a "close" or "snooze" options.  What happen to being able to select how long you wanted to snooze your alert?

    SnoozeMaster is now avaiable from the Mac App Store, for MacOS X 10.8 and up.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/snoozemaster/id614955483?mt=12
    It addresses this exact issue. You'll be able to configure different pre-set snooze times, enter custom snooze times when an alarm triggers, etc. It's what snoozing should've been from the get go.

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Diane.
    I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll.

  • What happened to items that were listed on my calendar prior to 2012?

    Had many items listed in my calendar going back years in iOS 6.  The only ones now listed are from 2013 forward. What happened to those old dates that were listed? Can those items ever be retrieved?

    It's set to " all events." That's not the problem. I am trying to have the calendar list go back before 2013 without going month by month and date by date through old calendars to search for items.   I can go back to an old calendar and see a grey dot on a particular date, June 3, 2008, for example, and if I open that date I can see that date's hourly calendar, plus the item I had listed for that date. But it's not in the master list. The master list only lists events from 2013. Older items haven't  been deleted on the calendar, just from the list.
