Sync calendar alert dismiss across devices

Apple fanatic--iPhone, MacBook, iMac--use all regularly and I use the calendar a lot
When I dismiss an event alert on one device it still pops up on the other, a behavior I can't seem to change
Is it possible to make an alert, when dismissed on one device, NOT pop up on another device?
thanks!!!!

a good workaround is to set mac calendar notifications to "banner" which automatically dismiss as opposed to alerts

Calendar alerts on every device after installing Mountain Lion. How do I stop this? Tech support acted like I was the first person this happened to. Anyone have the solution?

I have Calendar alerts on every device [Mac/iPad/iPhone] after installing Mountain Lion. How do I stop this? Tech support acted like I was the first person this happened to. Anyone have the solution?

Well, whichever device you uncheck = exclude from calendars (and reminders) via iCloud will be excluded as both, receiver and sender. It's an "all or nothing", I guess. Otherwise it'd get more complicated, and the support calls could easily fill an extra forum...
@lmp68: don't think iTunes is it, in the days of iCloud that would sure take quite an extra effort, if possible at all.

Calendar not updating across devices

My calendar isn't updating across different devices using iCloud. It appears that all settings are correct and I'm using the same account on each device. Photos update just fine.

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Syncing of Message changes across devices in Mavericks

Anyone remember a comment made during the WWDC keynote regarding the syncing of changes made to Messages across all of your devices once we got ahold of Mavericks. I am not talking about sending and receiving but deleting and cleanup. Cleanup on one device and it goes away on them all. Haven't seen or read any evidence of it since the release but maybe I am missing something.
Or, could be that I mis-heard; or my oldish MBPro isn't eligible for this feature.
Would from anyone on the subject would be great.
Really enjoying Mavs so far!

Hi,
As far as I am aware and have been able to test this is not a feature in iOS 7.x.x or Mavericks.
I would use the http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html page putting your spec info in the free text area as well.

Trying to sync calendars between 2 palm devices and ical

Hi,
My fiancee and I each have a Palm handheld. Mines a TE and I think hers is a T2. Here is my dream scenerio:
We set up a couple of calendars in iCal, one for her stuff and one for my stuff. When we sync, we can each see both calendars on our respective palm devices.
Does that make sense? Is it possible? We just want to be able to coordinate our schedules, ya know?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Let me say this before you go any further: sharing is difficult. In personal, not technological, terms.
What you want to do is relatively easy, and there are several approaches. The easiest, I believe, is to establish separate user accounts (on a single machine, or—ideally—on separate machines) and share your calendars usingBusySync, with—or without—Google calendars and an intermediate storage 'device.'
You should also consider using the Missing Sync for Palm OS to synchronize your Palm devices to your Mac OS X platforms, as it is a far more powerful and reliable approach than that offered by iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit.

Big trouble after upgrade 10.10 and 4.0: No sync Calendar and Contacts between devices and users

Hello,
it is a big trouble after upgrade 10.10. an 4.0 (i paid 18 € again!):
After the update no sync between devices an user for calendar and contacts possible. Asking a password?
No device manger started. Error code -1!; Open Directory Service no started.
Help?

I ended up exporting all the outlook data to CSV, creating a new PST and reimporting the data. Calendar sync now works, but I sure do hope I don't have to redo this every week.

IPad 2 not syncing Calendar to other devices through iCloud

My iPad 2 is not syncing Calendar events to other devices through iCloud
Devices: MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.2), iPhone 3GS (iOS 6.0), iPad 2 (iOS 6.0)
iPad 2 Settings:
   iCloud settings: Calendars 'ON'
   Mail, Contacts, Calendars: Default Calendar: Calendar; Sync: All events
   Shared Calendar Events: 'ON'
   Within Calendar App: Calendars checked: Home, Calendar
iPhone 3GS Settings:
   Identical to iPad 2 settings
MacBook Pro iCloud Calendar: Home and Calendar checked
I set up the following test event entries for the same date to see what was coming up in each device above:
1-From iPad: iPad to iCloud test
   2-From iPhone: iPhone to iCloud test
   3-From iCloud.com: iCloud.com to iCloud test
   4-From MacBook Pro: Launchpad Calendar App to iCloud test
(The last two entries may be redundant, but I wanted to cover all possibilities.)
I then I checked the Calendar App for each of the above devices for "events" 1, 2, 3, and 4 above.
The iPhone Calendar App had "events" 2, 3, and 4
The MacBook Calendar App through LaunchPad had "events" 2, 3, and 4
iCloud.com had "events" 2, 3, and 4
The iPad, however, had "events" 1, 2, 3, and 4
Only the iPad had all events entered from all devices. This creates a problem, of course, since I almost always have the iPad with me, and that's where I make additions/changes to Calendar, Contacts, Notes, and Reminders. Dependability across the Cloud is pretty important! What can I do to resolve this?
N.B., Contacts and Reminders synced successfully across all devices through iCloud. Notes, on the other hand, showed a different problem. When I created a "Test from devices" note, the iPad and the iPhone showed the additions to the note from each device, including the MacBook. The MacBook only showed what had been written from the MacBook. Hmmmm...
Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Choosing not to sync Known network across devices

Hi,
in my office I have credentials to connect only 1 device to the complimentary wifi. I then choose to connect my Macbook (or iPad) to the wifi.
Unfortunately, iCloud seems to sync the information about known networks to my iPhone, and this results in the iPhone being connected to the wifi with no IP assigned, hence no internet connection, and me not noticing it until a few hours later.
Would it be possible to fix this behaviour?
Is it possible to choose not to sync known network settings across devices?
Thanks

Syncing Jabber across devices

All,
We are running 9.1 CUCM and IMP and I am looking to hopefully sync Jabber IM's across devices (Windows, iPhone, iPad). This does appear to be working and I cannot find any documentation about if this a supported feature or not. Any help is greatly appreciated.

We do not provide such feature. If anything, you'll only get the 1st message someone sends you, as it will "broadcast" it to all the devices in order to determine on which one you're active as you reply, and then it will direct all IM messages to that particular device.

After factory reset information shared across devices won't load

Hello. I recently did a factory reset on my MacBook Air. I backed up my iphoto library and itunes library to external hard drive and was able to load those fine. But I am still having a problem with syncing media and data across devices. Maybe I'm missing something? I set up my icloud; the contacts, address book, etc. seemed to have loaded all the data. BUT: the information that is supposed to load through sharing across my ipad, iphone 5 is not loading. I thought the itunes would load my music just based on the sharing, but it is a good thing I backed it up. Things like ibooks, and the most recent photos I have taken on my iphone are not loaded.
Please help: I need to know how get all my devices sharing again, and/or pushing media through itunes
Any tips would be welcome. Thanks.

Information that is 'shared' via icloud includes calendar events, contacts, todo items, notes, and safari bookmarks. Music that is on an iOS device isn't shared. If it is music you purchased from the Apple iTunes store you can redownload it or it can be moved from the device by using the Transfer Purchases option of the iTunes File menu when your phone is connected to the computer via the cable. iOS apps can also be transferred to the computer this way. New pictures will sync when the phone/iPad is physically connected but I'm not certain how old pictures that exist on the iOS device but not on the computer are handled. You may need to use a third party program to transfer these old pictures - as well as music not purchased from the iTunes store.

Syncing calendars from iPhone5s and iPad. Syncing calendars from iPhone 4 with mac

Can I sync my calendar from my iPhone 5 with my iPad? If so, how?
Also, can I sync calendars from my iPhone 4 with my mac? If so, how?

Hi hpd0203,
There are a number of different ways of syncing calendars between your Apple devices. One of the easiest ways is to use iCloud. See this article for an introduction -

Calendar won't sync across devices and other issues

Hello all,
I am running latest versions of IOS 8 on IPAD Air2, iPhone5S and latest Yosemite on IMAC intel last year model.
There are few issues here....
In Mavericks when I edited an event in calendars it would show up almost immediately on my phone. No more. In Yosemite I would edit an event and it seems like a 50/50 chance it would RETAIN in the Yosemite calendar. And if it does, it does no sync across devices. This is a pain in my ***.
Second issue is when I use the 'shutdown' feature top left corner of OS X, the unit would begin to shut down then the spinning logo would keep spinning and unit would never shut down. The energy saver would take effect. I come from work thinking it was shut down, press the power button on back and the unit 'wakes' and continues with spinning shutdown logo.
Third issue, my iPhone randomly asks for the iCloud password, even though it is enable across all of my three devices.
Other than these issues I love Yosemite and IOS 8, but these are really kicking me from behind.
I appreciate any and all help!
Thanks

OK, are you sure the events you are adding are added to an icloud calendar, only iCloud calendars will sync. Tap the calendar button to make sure all your calendars are iCloud calendars. Are changes making it to iCloud.com

Calendars no longer sync across devices after iOS/Mac OS X updates

Ever since updating my MacBook Air to Yosemite and my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.0.2 (or maybe 8.1.1), my calendars no longer sync correctly across devices. Prior to the updates, any addition or change I made to the calendar on my iPhone would be added to the calendar on my Mac the next time I synced my phone. Now I have duplicate events on my phone, the calendar on my Mac no longer incorporates changes from the phone and I get a dialog box on the Mac 2-3 times an hour about calendar conflicts. No matter how many times I review the conflicts and choose which events/updates to save, the box keeps coming back. I've never had a persistent issue like this with any previous iOS or Mac OS updates and I can't figure out why it won't stop. Help, please!

OK, that was easy enough. Here's what I took from the log when I synced a few minutes ago. I kept the log entry for one of the multiple calendar sync conflicts.

How do I sync calendars across Apple devices?

I have gone through the steps to use iCloud to sync calendars on my computers, iPhone, and iPad. However, not all calendar items on my iPhone show up on the Calendar on my iMac. How can I ensure that events I add on one device are pushed to all other devices? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hey Walter Dalch,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with iCloud calendar, in which events may not be pushed to all other devices. To isolate and troubleshoot these issues, it may be best to follow the steps outlined in this resource:

Pdf sync across devices does not work

is anyone experiencing problems with syncing PDF files across devices? My PDFs are not the same across the 3 devices I use.

So I managed to solve this Problem.
First: Be patient in itunes, as it takes some amount of time for changes to show up there. (after 10s it should be there - I also closed the applications quite often.)
Second make a backup of your calendars in the calendar app - you should have a file with a icbu-ending that contains your data. It's most likely you won't lose data.)
do a filesystemrepair on the basic level - reboot and hold cmd + s to boot into single user mode and type in fsck -fy and wait for your mac to finish the filesystem repairs (if there were any errors to be corrected.)
Reboot and do a parameter reset hold down cmd + option + p + r and wait for the second startup sound.
Turn on iCloud-sync for my calendar within OS X (Mountain Lion 10.8)
Turn on iCloud-sync on my iPad (iOS 5.1.1)
Turn iCloud-sync off on both devices and swipe both calendars. (On my iPad it went through right away - only birthdays from Contacts left. - On the Calendar-App in OS X I had leftovers.)
Checked my Calendar-app and deleted all leftovers and closed Calendar. - I repeted this step a few times until iTunes would only show me one last calendar named "Calendar")
I confirmed that i was close by creating a new test-calendar in the calendar-App named test which showed up in iTunes (Hurra!)
I restored my calendars with the import-function in the calendar-app.
I cleaned up duplicate Google-Webcals.
I synced the calendar with iTunes AND replaced the entries on my iPad.
I synced with my iPhone AND replaced the entries there as well.
I did a last sync with my idevices.
Poooh. Thanks half a day later I'm back to normal. Calendars showing up again on my mac and my iDevices.
