WCS not Emailing Alarms

Hi everyone,
I have been using WCS to monitor the wireless environement and to email me when a failure occurs. I noticed that the emails have stopped being sent out for any alarm. The mail relay is still working correctly and test emails work fine. Has anyone else experienced this before?
Thank you,
Chris

Hi,
Never got the issue. But you can check the email account on the server.
You can also try remove config from WCS and do it again.
Was there any config the network lately that could cause this issue?
What is your version?

ICal/email alarm issue, please help if you can....

Hello. I am just starting to use iCal and have been setting email alarms to remind me of my iCal events. Here is the issue I am having, if mail is closed and the email alarm time has gone by, the email does not show up. Any ideas?
Another thing I noticed is that if I am on my computer, mail is closed, and an alarm time comes by - mail will open up on its own but an email never shows up in my inbox. Any ideas on this one?
Thanks,
Steve

Your problem is that the command you're trying to run includes spaces.
Spaces are used by the shell to delimit arguments, so when you say:
script with command " sudo /Volumes/Adobe CS3 Design Premium/AdobeCS3/Setup.app/Contents/MacOS/Setup"
The shell sees this as the command 'sudo' with four arguments - "/Volumes/Adobe", "CS3", "Design", and "Premium/AdobeCS3/Setup.app/Contents/MacOS/Setup". It's no wonder it doesn't work.
You have a couple of options. One is to escape each of the spaces by preceeding them with a backslash. This tells the shell to treat the next character as a real character, not as a delimiter, e.g. "/Volumes/Adobe\ CS3\ Design\ Premium...". If you take this approach, though, you need to be aware that AppleScript also uses the backslash to escape characters, so you need to escape the backslash itself - the first one tells AppleScript to treat the second backslash as a literal, and so the shell sees the second backslash and can deal with the spaces:
>do script "sudo /Volumes/Adobe\\ CS3\\ Design\\ Premium/AdobeCS3/Setup.app/Contents/MacOS/Setup --mode=silent --deploymentFile=/Volumes/Adobe\\ C3\\ Design\\ Premium/AdobeCS3/deployment/liteinstall.xml"
The other option is to use the 'quoted form of' a string. 'Quoted form' takes a string and makes it shell-safe:
<pre class=command>tell application "Terminal"
set myCommand to "/Volumes/Adobe CS3 Design Premium/AdobeC3 blah blah blah"
do script "sudo " & quoted form of myCommand
end tell</pre>
Depending on what else you're doing, you might also find it easier to eschew the Terminal altogether and just run the command directly via 'do shell script', but the same caveats apply.

ICal randomly doesn't send email alarms

I'm having issues with iCal missing some, but not all, email alarms. I have all my birthday reminders set the same way, to email me 7 days before. Some emails are sent, some are not. I have 4 calendars set up, and emails from other calendars are being missed as well. It seems to be random as I can't find any pattern linking the missed emails.
As far as I can tell I have never missed any pop-up message alarms, only email alarms.
I haven't made any changes to cause this that I know of, it just started missing emails one day. I suppose it could have corresponded with the 10.6.3 update as the timing would have been in the right ballpark, but I really can't say for sure.
I tried deleting all calendars and reimporting a previously exported iCal backup file without luck.
Not sure what else to try. Any ideas?

Hi
I had the same issue here. I solved the alarm sending with this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11602956#11602956
but the other problem was that some random changes occured with the recurrence of the events in my Birthdays calendar. I solved that with this script:
tell application "iCal"
tell calendar "Birthdays"
repeat with Evento in events
tell Evento
set recurrence of Evento to "FREQ=YEARLY"
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell

Can I ical send email alarms through Thunderbird?

Is it possible to use Thunderbird as my default application for ical rather than mail? I haven't been able to figure it out.
If yes, how would I change it? Thunderbird is my default email program but yet mail continues to open when an email alarm needs to be sent out!
Thanks

yvrbos,
I know that you said you have Thunderbird set in your Mail application but since I do not use Thunderbird, the How do I make Thunderbird my default mail program? FAQ says: go to Tools > Options..., click on "General" and check Mail, then click OK.
Another consideration is Resetting Launch Services, by Dr. Smoke. Be sure to read the notes regarding other consequences of using this procedure.

When will email alarms work in iCal 3.0 and Leopard?

I have been trying to follow the Apple discussions of some of the problems in iCal 3.0 under Leopard. Fortunately, I haven't experienced some of them. The one that is bothering me is the inability to send email alarms. This is a feature I used a lot in Tiger and want to use again. My iBook and iMac are syncing pretty well, and my calendars are, too. However, if I create a new iCal event on either computer and then try to set an email alarm, I get this response: "You must add your own card and email address in Address Book in order to be able to use mail alarms" with a link to open Address Book. When I open Address Book, there is no conceivable way to follow the above instruction. Either I am missing something very simple, or Apple has not fixed this bug in iCal 3.0 and Leopard, despite having stated in a knowledge base document on November 15, 2007, (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306907) that as a result of the 10.5.1 update "iCal alarms are now more reliably delivered via email." Has anyone figured a go-around for this problem?

Well, here I am answering my own question. I went into Address Book preferences on my iBook, which was upgraded from Tiger to Leopard, and found that my own card in Address Book was no longer indicated as being "me". I checked the box to indicate that, and then--voilà!--my email alarms worked in iCal. I guess I should have realized that the upgrade to Leopard didn't necessarily create all the preferences that had previously existed in Tiger. Once I check the iMac, which came with Leopard, to ascertain that this fix works on the iMac, too, I will mark this question as answered.

Email alarms

Has anyone had this problem before? Once in awhile, an email alarm I set for an event suddenly generates about 20 alarms. Not only do I then receive 20 reminder emails but 20 alarms are actually listed in the event info window where they did not exist when I inputted the event in the first place.

I have a similar problem, but they're normal alarms -- and it seems to be quite a few of my events doing this. I'm deleting them now, one at a time, quite tedious.
I'm guessing it has something to do with hotsync'ing, but I don't really know.

Hi Hadi,
The Release Notes say the "usermod" command listed in your URL may not work: maybe you can make the file changes by hand?:

Ical Email alarm

Heres my problem. Whenever I add an event on Ical, I always us the email option as an alarm. However, I am never getting those emails.
Could anyone help me with this one?

In most cases if you're using the Mail app. on your computer it needs to be active for the email alarm to be sent. iCal does not have to be active but Mail does. Sometimes on mine when I open Mail an outbox will appear which will have the alarm message in it, then it gets sent a few seconds later. It's a bit hit or miss if you've quit Mail or if your computer has been in sleep, but I believe it always sends the alarm message if Mail is left running.

Event email alarms have no "To:" address, and cannot send

Hi,
A strange thing has happened since upgrading to Tiger: all email alarms get sent with no "To:" address, even though I have selected a valid email address in the event alarm drop-down. Mail pops up with the alarm email indicating that it cannot be sent, showing a blank "To:" line.
The email addresses I have tried are all in "My" card in Address book. I've tried re-selecting the email address and have also removed iCal plist and restarted, but all to no avail.
Searching here hasn't provided me with any direct hits on the problem I'm experiencing. Does anyone have any other pointers on things I can try to get this working again?
OS: 10.4.5
Many thanks,
Mark.
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I am having the same issue. When I click "Reply" to an invitation Mail generates an e-mail without an address in the "To" field resulting in an error. We are using an exchange server but I have tested this with invitation generated with iCal as well. Also, a co-worker of mine, using the same set up as me (PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 GHz, 10.4.6), has no difficulty.
So far, I have deleted both my work (exchange) and home (.Mac) e-mail accounts from mail. I have created a new work account (imap) and re-sync'd with the exchange server. I have deleted both Mail and iCal .plist files from User> Library>Preferences. I have deleted all outgoing mail servers except my company mail server from the server list in Mail>Preferences>Accounts.
I can receive, address and send e-mails fine with mail. When I click on a name in the "Attendees" list in the information pane in iCal I can see a grey'd out list of e-mail address for each attendee. When I select "Send Email" it addressess the e-mail correctly.
In short, I am utterly confused as to why this does not work properly. Out It guy just quit and I am left figuring this out on my own. So, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Email alarms come through as unwanted alerts on iPhone

This is a new issue since updating to the new iCal. When I set an event on iCal on my iMac, I often set up an email alarm to myself. This works fine. However, I also get an alert on the front of my iPhone that corresponds to every email alarm. I really do NOT want this alert.
I do not have a default alarm set in my iCal preferences. I sync iCal through Mobileme.
Any suggestions how to get rid of this iPhone alert?

I have had the same problem with this new ical (I am still using iCal with Leopard. iCal has several options that are not given on the iPhone and don't convert properly when synced to the iPhone (the E-mail {used to work before the new ical} and the alert Option "Message"). Both the "Email" and "Message" act like the "Message with Sound". This is extremely annoying and frustrating. If I want to remind myself to call someone on a birthday, I end up with a midnight wakeup by the annoying beeps when all I want is either a silent "Message" that I can snooze (not on the first swipe though) or a simple e-mail sent to myself. In addition, it would be great if we could add ALL these features to be set for calendar events on the iphone.

Email alarms to different addressees?

Is there a way to set iCal to send email alarms to someone other than the computer "owner" ("Me" in Address Book?) I have been working around this by sending the alarms to myself and having Mail "redirect" the alarm to other email addresses. This seems a clumsy way to do it.
G4/1.6 GHz/1.25 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Joe,
There is only one invitation per event, but the Knowledge Base article states: "If you make any additional changes to the event, be sure to click the Send button again." This implies that you can send it again when you get your 1 day alarm.
It appears to me that you will have to hit send for each subsequent monthly invitation after you get your alarm.
Although the event repeats, the invitation is not automatic and requires action on your part.

ICal: email alarm creation fails with error "You must add your own card..."

When I try to set an email alarm in an event in iCal, it gives an error that "You must add your own card and email address in Address Book to be able to use mail alarms." But I do have such a card in my Address book. E.g., I can use the "Go to my card" command from the Card menu in Address Book. I even exported then deleted my entry and reimported it and marked it as my card again and still iCal will not set a mail alarm for any events. I've also tried setting other cards to be "my card" and iCal still hates me. Help! I need this feature and used this all the time before it broke early this week.
Is there a way to rebuild my Address Book or something?

OK, I finally fixed it. I told Dot Mac to replace all contacts on my computer with the synchronized stuff out on the cloud. I don't know what someone would do if they didn't synchronize -- maybe it wouldn't have happened to them. Anyhow, replacing my contacts with the stuff from Dot Mac or Mobile Me or whatever Apple is calling it now worked.

Email Alarm

It has been on the forum previously how you send yourself an email alarm from iCal. It is so difficlult to find the full skinny I thought it worth posting again.
The basic method of clicking alarms & choosing email invariably gets the confusing pop up saying " You must have your card set up in adddress book to use this' or words along those lines.
There are no instructions as to what this means since most people have their card with their email details in Address Book & simply select it, BUT that is not enough!!
In Address Book You need to select your entry, Card from top menu then select Make this my Card.
Voila it then works.
I remember searching for this info for ages so I hope it helps.

Tested it myself. The answer is yes.

Duplicate email alarms sent when syncing iCal on multiple computers

Hi, I have iCal set up on my laptop, my work computer and my home computer and they all are syncing using .mac, which is great because I can add an event on any computer and it updates everywhere. The problem is that when I have an event that has an email alarm all three computers end up sending me a reminder. As a result my inbox looks like a plate of spam. Is there a way I can suppress email alarms from all but one of the computers?
Thanks in advance.

I sync my iPhone with two different computers. This appears to be something new & unique for the iPhone.
My "Info" data (contacts, bookmarks, calendar, mail) comes from my iBook. My "Media" data (music, podcasts, video) comes from my desktop PC.
I don't believe you can mix the sync data beyond that. In other words, you can't sync podcasts from one computer and music from a second.
When I started doing this, I recall getting prompted to erase all data before continuing the sync in the traditional iPod method of 1 computer to 1 iPod. But hitting Cancel to that question actually continued the sync without deleting the iPhone resident non-synced data. You may have to do that on both systems (the Cancel), but now it seems automatic. The iBook just touches the Info data & the PC just touches the media data.
I also turned off 'auto-sync' in both iTunes for the iPhone. I'm not sure if that made a difference for the dual sync. I just prefer to kick off the sync manually in case I'm downloading new podcasts or just need to charge the iPhone and don't want to go through a sync at that moment.

Emailing alarms to different adresses?

i was wondering if it would be possible to have ical email alarms to email addresses other than the owner of the login account.
in my case; i need to set up the planning for a small department ( <10 ) and i could do this easily in ical with a different calander for each employee. it would be nice if i can assign email addresses to use for alarms for each calander so that each emplyee receives an email for thier own events.
on a related note: is it possible to have ical automaticaly ignore weekends in multi-day events?
i would like to set up events that last several days, but only for working days.
i know i could set up two events, that i would prefer it to be a single event and not two separate ones only because of the weekend...
thanks

As the number is small, it is do-able. You will have to add the email address for each of the employees to your card as if it were one of your addresses. When setting an alarm, select the one you want from the drop down list of "your" email addresses. I don't think you can make the address selection automatic on a per-calendar basis.
I don't see any way to omit days in a multi-day single event.
