Why cant I set an event in calendars to default to an alarm?

Seems too logical. At least at the time of the event so it doesn't pass without even a beep.

How to set repeating event in calendar

I'm using maverick that doesn't exist in the choices. macbook pro retina. Calendar has not setting for repeating appointments. The instructions in help are completely wrong.

Hi,
It may help if you describe what you see when you edit an event, or better post a screenshot of the window.
The instructions I see in Calendar's help are:
1. Double-click the event, then click the event’s date.
2. Choose how often you want the event to occur from the Repeat menu.
Every day:
It occurs every day, at the same time.
Every week:
It occurs at the same time, on the same day, every week.
Every month:
It occurs at the same time, on the same day, every month.
Every year:
It occurs at the same time, on the same day, every year.
Custom:
It occurs at the same time, on custom days. For example, you can set the event to occur on the first Wednesday of every month.
3. Choose when to stop the event from the End menu.
Best wishes

Why can't i add events to calendars shared with me?

After i updated my MacBook Pro, i could not add events to the calendars shared with me. When i try to put an event in another calendar, it is not there.. I have the same problem on my iMac.

I was able to fix this problem with the information I found on the link pasted below. (I had two calendars, and the "default" calendar was not set to my iCloud calendar.)

Setting recurring events in calendar

I have an I phone 4. I am trying to set recurring meetings that occur for example; on the second Wednesday of every month. On the repeat selection, there is no option for that. I find this very odd as many professionals have recurring events and meetings that would need to be scheduled this way.
The only workaround I see is to add it to my desktop Outlook calendar which does have this type of recurring event.

The easiest way, unfortunately, is to make that kind of recurrance in the calendar app in your computer then sync it to the ipad
the ipad calendar app handles a lot of repeat patterns, but not that one.

How to set repeating events in Calendar

The former "repeat" option in the create/edit events window seems to be missing in Maveicks. Anyone here discovered where it's moved to, how to do it?

Hmmm closed Claendar, reopened it and the Repeat option was back.
FWIW, the repeat option also disappeared in Fantastical but returned after restarting the Calendar app

Why cant I set a wallpaper to menu screen?

Itunes says I have the newest available software(4.2.1) for my iPod touch,
but I cant set a wallpaper to home screen, or view open apps, or activate "negative" color view.
What is this? I have deleted all data on my iPod, and reinstalled software, but its still the same problem...

I do not believe that. The 2G and 3G iPod look identical on the outside.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

In iCal, why I can not drag event from calendar to reminder, and 'paste' in reminder is disabled?

The added events in iCal could be dragged freely to reminder before I used iCloud, but now it doesn't work. The situation of iCal is: 1) I can not drag any event from calander to reminder, 2) the 'paste' bottom in reminder is disabled, and 3) sortord in reminder does not work, i.e. I can not change order even if I select 'manual' .
Anyone met these situation before? Please help~

Why cant i set up a mail account?

I have a yahoo account but i keep getting this message when i try and set it up
Cannot get mail - The username or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect
I know the username and password is fine.
What can it be??

i just figured it out
you need to go to mail options in yahoo
http://help.yahoo.com/tutorials/cg/mail/cg_access4.htmlthe go back to iPhone settings
outgoing (SMTP) mail server.
Here are the basic server settings for Yahoo! Mail:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 995)
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (Use SSL, port: 465, use authentication)
Account Name/Login Name: Your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com")
Email Address: Your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., [email protected])
Password: Your Yahoo! Mail password
If you can't add new POP or SMTP servers, you'll need to change your current server settings to access your Yahoo! Mail Plus account. Write down your current settings first—you might need to revert to them later if you decide to send and receive messages from your other email addresses.
Your other email program will give you the option of either deleting your Yahoo! messages from the Yahoo! server after downloading them, or leaving them on the Yahoo! server so you can see them online in your Yahoo! account, too.
add acount: other enter all new outgoing and incoming settings
then you good to go

Why Cant I delete an event ? 10.1.4

Been trying to delete an even ant it just wont go.
Checked the bundled fcp bundle properties and I have full read write access.
But when opened in FCp and the Event is Sent To trash, the Cancel or Continue box appears, click Continue, then spinning beach ball for 5 seconds or so..then ...nothing ..the event just stays there. It just can't be deleted .
It has a Yellow mark next to it, as it says some Proxies are are missing. it seems to have just lost connection with some of the Proxy files .
Any ideas? it was an event imported from another library. I coped two projects to New Library, edited them on the laptop, then brought them back to the main machine .
Opened the "export' library and the original library, dragged the event from one library to the other , copied the edited project t the Original Library, now I want to delete the 'mobile/ export event." but it just wont go,

****, missed the 'editing window.
The first line of the above should read
Been trying to delete an event, and it just won't go.

Why can't I set a relative date for a recurring event in calendar on my ipod touch?

why can't I set a relative date for a recurring event in calendar on my ipod touch?

Because The Calendar app does not support it. There are apps in the App store that do.

Why I cannot set up Lightning with offline access to my Google calendars?

When I set up a new calendar in Lightning, and I choose Google calendar, I don't have the option of 'Offline support'!
I don't have any Cache option among the properties of my calendars either.
So if I don't have internet connection, I cant even see my events in Lightning, let alone editing them.
(I am using Thunderbird portable 31.2.0 with Lightning 3.3.1 on Win 7 Pro 64bit.)
Many thanks for your help!

Thank you for your answer, Duggabe, but this is not quite the solution I am looking for. One cannot always know when they need to access the calendar data offline, and I guess no one is willing to export everything manually every time he/she makes some changes. I expect this to be automated. My factory default Android calendar lets me access and even edit my calendar data offline. Practically, a local copy of my calendar gets synced with Google, and that local copy can be edited any time. Numerous applications manage to sync local copies this way. I think this should be a high priority feature, and to be honest I expected Lightning to do it this way. Especially that there are many sites that guide you how to set up 'offline support'! Like https://www.alansitsolutions.com/blog/2014/06/26/adding-google-calendar-thunderbird/ But as I see, this feature is not available any more. If I choose to add a 'Google calendar' in the most recent version of Thunderbird, the option of 'Offline support' disappears. Which still does not offer offline editing btw, but at least you can access your existing calendar data. And if you go to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changing-calendar-preferences you get the impression, that they are working on some 'Cache'. It is in the experimental phase yet, which is why I could not find this experimental option, probably because I am on the release channel. Anyway, I would be glad to know at least that this 'cache' option is intended to solve exactly what every Android user can already do, namely full offline access. I hope that it will appear soon in a stable release.

Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ? I already actualize LION OSX and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

Why does my phone not save when I add an event to Calendar?

I have been unable to save events on Calendar. Does anyone know why and how to fix it?

Check Settings > Sounds
Look at "Ringer and Alerts" there. Is it set correctly (up a reasonable amount, "change with buttons" = "On"?
Is "Ringtone" set to something reasonable? You can click the actual ringtone and hear a sample of how it should sound.
