Why do my alarms keep disappearing?

I use google calendars to sync with iCal (4.0.4) and my iOS Cal.
For some reason, when I add an new event in iCal, there's a spinning wheel next to that delegate in the lefthand sidebar and then when I look at that new event everything is there except the alarm.
I use alarms a lot, so it'd be handy if anyone could help me sort this out.

I have the same problem but check this out.  3 weeks after they disappeared from my iPad they show up in my Yahoo email account.  Go figure.  Strange thing is that was the first place I looked when I lost them.  Why it takes 3 weeks to get from my iPad to my email account is but another mystery but I am glad they finally showed up.
You might try checking under SETTINGS, then under NOTES to see if you have an account listed there, usually either an email account or an iCloud account.  If so odds are your notes might be in one of these other places.  But you might have to check for some weeks......

  • Why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre?

    I've only noticed this since upgrading to iOS 7.1 and I can't find any answers anywhere on the Internet. As the title states: why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre? Usually after an hour or two. The badge on the app icon will stay and if I get another message, the new one shows up in Notification Centre, again just for a while.

    Salvizuno -
    did you ever solve this problem? i just upgraded to the 5s and my notifications disappear... and it is very frustrating. i have called apple support, gone to the apple store, swapped out my phone but with no luck... can you advise if and how you fixed the problem please?
    thanks!

  • Why do my podcasts keep disappearing after I download them to my computer.

    Since updating iTunes to the newest version, I have been having problems with my podcasts.  Specifically, my episodes keep disappearing.  The first time I figured it was a fluke, but it happened again and again.  Every time I close iTunes and open it again, the podcasts have disappeared even though I have all my podcasts set up to keep all episodes.  The episodes are all still listed, but there is a little cloud with an arrow inside pointing down next to each one.  There are a handful of random episodes that are still there (without the cloud and arrow icon).  I searched for the files in my computer's music folder and even the files are suddenly missing and I know they used to be there.  I don't know why this keeps happening.  Is anyone else having this problem and how can I stop it from happening?

    Same problem. I am a daily Podcasts listener, and podcasts that worked the day before will literally not work the next day.  All the podcasts on my iphone will suddenly be broken. This keeps happening to me, and it's most glaring when I try to resume listening to an episode I listened to half of on the previous day. I suddenly get the error message:
    Episode Unavailable: "This episode is temporarily unavailable from [Podcast name]
    This started when I got the new Iphone 5s (iOS7) and was forced to switch to using the Podcasts app outside of the Music app.  And now it's happening constantly to my regular podcasts. The listened to status is also sometimes wrong. Podcasts I've already listened to, and in some cases deleted, will show up again as fresh downloads.
    I have to remove the corrupted podcasts one by one and download them again manually. 
    RIDICULOUS and UNUSABLE. This Podcasts app does not work.

  • Why do my footnotes keep disappearing on my new Macbook Air?

    My footnotes keep disappearing on Microsoft Word, on my Macbook Air. I have only had the computer (and Word) for a week or so. Do you know why this is?
    The footnotes do reappear when I close the document and reopen it, but it means I am unable to work uninterrupted!

    I agree with -Sheridan- that this is an AutoRecover issue.  I write a lot of Word documents with footnotes and never had the "disappearing footnote" issue until I switched to an iMac and MS Word for Mac 2011 (which I bought together in December 2013).  I tried changing the footnote line spacing to "exact".  I tried unchecking all of the Word compatability rules.  None of that worked.  And, the footnote disappearance happened, like clockwork, at the same intervals as AutoRecover was saving my document (every 10 minutes), whether I was typing anything or not. I could tell when it happened because my document text and inserted photos would suddenly shift out of place and my footnotes would disappear.  (This only happens with footnotes of more than one line). 
    I also agree that it is safer to have AutoRecovery on, but I did not want to have to close out my document and reopen it (and realign the text) every 10 minutes so I turned it off.  I hope the maintainers of MS Word for Mac will see this and fix this obvious bug.

  • Why does my cursor keep disappearing in the Google search bar?

    When using FF or Google Chrome, I've noticed that my cursor keeps disappearing when using the Google search bar. I've tried using all the about:config tips, I've downgraded to earlier versions, I've pressed F7, I've unchecked the "hide cursor while typing" option in my mouse properties, I've checked for driver updates, I've tried disabling all add-ons and plug-ins, and I've checked another computer in our home as well. Same thing there. This seems to have become a problem in the last few days. IE seems unaffected by it. Just FF and Chrome.

    No sir, there are no other tabs open, when it happens. For now, I've found a workaround, and I invite you to test it yourself.
    I've been working on this problem all day. I've noticed that the cursor blinks very slowly in the Google search bar. If you press a key while the cursor is blinking "off", it will stay off until you let go of what key you're pressing. Conversely, if you press a key while the cursor is blinking "on", the cursor will remain visible as you type.
    In IE, the cursor blinks much more rapidly, and blinks more "on" than "off." As a result the cursor remains on, no matter what you type or when, or what key you press, including the spacebar. This is not the case in FF or Chrome.
    It was suggested in the Google forums that disabling "autocomplete" has helped with this problem. I followed the instructions and successfully disabled the "auto-complete" feature on Google. When I did that, I immediately noticed that the cursor blink speed doubled, like what I'm used to seeing. Further, no matter what I did, the cursor did NOT disappear anymore.
    The link for google with autocomplete disabled is http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=0
    Go there and see if you notice a difference in the blink speed of the cursor. On my computer, the difference is drastic. While I do enjoy "auto-complete" and will miss this feature, I generally don't rely on it, and much prefer a consistent cursor.
    I greatly look forward to your feedback on this. If you figure out a way to have Google work normally without this workaround, I will be forever in your debt.

  • Why does my apps keep disappearing?

    Hello, I have a iPhone 3GS on iOS 4.1 and my apps keep disappearing while I download them, but, the 'Install' button still can work. Please help me! (Extra: It is jailbroken.

    Have you setup restrictions in your System Preferences?
    Some setting combinaitions could, for example, allow you to install apps but nor run them (since you have an age limit set up)?

  • TS3899 Why do my emails keep disappearing from my iphone?  These are emails that I have not deleted.

    My emails keep disappearing from my inbox even though I have not deleted them.

    I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail.  The mailbox behavior says:  Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked)  store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
    I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.

  • Why do my podcasts keep disappearing from iTunes?

    So I subscribe to a few podcasts, and I've noticed that since the update only the 10 most recent episodes are staying on my computer. The old episodes are still available in my iCloud but I have to waste internet redownloading them, and even when I do that they still seem to disappear. Any idea on how to stop iCloud from messing with my podcasts, or even better turn it off from iTunes entirely?

  • Why do my Notes keep disappearing?

  • Why does my cursor keep disappearing on Firefox (and nothing else) when it's not being moved?

    If I'm not moving the cursor it disappears entirely, which is highly annoying. It only does this on Firefox, nothing else. It went through a permanently flickering period before this, too.

    Thanks for the advice, AmazingBeast - I think that probably would have worked. I isolated the problem eventually to a particular web page I'd been using a lot and had kept open. Once I closed it everything was fine again, although it means whenever I want to look at that page I have to put up with the Disappearing Cursor!

  • Why do my images keep disappearing?

    Acrobat 9.3, LiveCycle Designer 8.2, Win XP.
    When I create a form in LS, and use the "Image" (not image field) object function, insert the image and save the form.  I then open the document in Acrobat 9.3 and Extend the Features.  The image stays in the document and looks perfectly fine.
    However, when I open the document again in LS (and get the standard message of turning off extended features), the image is suddenly no longer there; instead all I see is a gray "broken object" sign in its place.  If I save the document while in this state, the image no longer appears in the document, and I have to re-insert the image again if I want to see it.  I'm inserting standard JPEG files.
    Is there some kind of setting I need to change, or different image format I need to use, so that the image stays with the document?  It's very annoying.

    No I wasn't...glad to know it was that easy!
    Still, I can't imagine why anyone would want that option...

  • Why do my bookmarks keep disappearing?

    Every couple of weeks, my bookmarks in Safari disappear. They come back hours later, the next day or days later. I don't understand how this happens since I can't find a setting anywhere that makes this happen. I have an iPhone 4S with the latest software. I also have a Macbook Pro but I don't see anything with it that would tell the phone to erase and then retrieve the bookmarks.

  • Why do my contacts keep disappearing?

    My iPhone 3Gs periodically loses all contacts. I restore them from a backup, and a short time later, they are gone again. I do not have iCloud turned on. (Tried it, hated it, turned it off.) Any idea what's going on? The only possible clues I have are:
    1. Once in awhile, just before contacts go away, the phone seems to turn itself off, then back on again. But I'm not positive about the timing of that.
    2. I use Pandora all the time, and the problem may have occurred while Pandora was doing something. Again, not positive, just suspicious.

    Im having somewhat the same thing.. I have a iphone 4 and for some reason it is deleting certain contacts. Funny thing is when you look at those contacts in message the msg's are there but the names are gone and there is a +1 infront of their numbers... Have tried everyth8ng short of wiping my cell clean... So frustrating... not being able to fix this..Oh and I have tried manually readding those contacts and within mins they disappear again...

  • HT3442 Why do my Faces keep disappearing?  Help!

    I just upgraded to iPhoto '11 and am trying to organize my faces however they have disappeared on 2 separate occasions and I've needed to start over.  What could be the problem?

    Perhaps I didn't explain the fix correctly in my response.  While everything seemed to get back working properly, the repair did not actually bring back the faces and identification that I had already done the first time around.  I was able to start over and identify all the faces again --- that's what seemed to work for a couple days until it happened again.  I was not doing anything differently than normal use and iPhoto didn't crash, I just closed it down and when opened it up again, the faces were gone.  I am using an internal drive.  ( I do have everything backed up on an external drive but it's not what I use on a daily basis and has not been connected during these issues.  I appreciate the responses.
