Why Doesn't Mac iCal Match iOS Cal Alert Options?

I have read all the issues with the wacky integration between iCal and iOS Cal integration. My question regards the options to set for alert on an event. I like the default options on the iPhone on 15 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 1 day, 2 days. How can I get iCal to offer this same options when creating a new event on Mac OS X?

I am completely disgusted w/ Apple at this point!!! I've had my iPhone 5 for about a year now and I've NEVER been able to sync it w/ my pc (yes.......I've tried ALL the suggested fixes for my version of Windows, before anyone else starts regurgitating all the crap I've read thru a dozen times to no avail). Basically.....if you want to really address your problem by 'reinstalling' itunes; you'd better have your schedule for the ENTIRE NIGHT clear because you'll be waiting for itunes to download for a good 5 hours. (occasionally you'll read some knuckle head's feedback, who is probably an Apple employee, saying that it "only takes 5 minutes". I'd highly suggest not even paying attention to these morons!!
Yes I realize that I haven't contributed anything productive to this thread.....yes I realize it will irritate some people.....however they'll need to deal with it because at this point, I'm simply using this thread to 'vent' my frusteration w/ Apple. Horrible update!! Horrible support!! Horrible suggested fixes and even worse acknowledgment of your customer base's problems w/ your product!!! I'm seriously contemplating selling my iphone and going android again. Samsung's looking pretty good right about now!!

Random muting of Mac sound. Why doesn't Mac adress this?

I am having a recurring problem with the sound randomly muting. In the System Preferences panel, the volume slider is grayed out and the 'mute' option is checked but also greyed out. This has been happening on and off for a while. Sometimes restarting works but not always. In googling this problem it is obvious that this has been happening to many people since at least 2008. What is going on here and why doesn't Mac fix this problem? It is a huge waste of time when working on a project to have to screw around with this.
Has anyone found a real fix other than just trying to reboot?
I am using a 27" iMac, 2.93 ghz/core i7, Mac OSX 10.7.4.

Why doesn't my iTunes Radio give me the option to customize stations using "play more like this" and "never play this" in the star menu?

You can only "play more like this" on your custom stations. The pre-programmed ones cannot be altered, at least to my understanding

Why doesn't my iPod update iOS 7 if it has the capacity of 6.4 gb

Why doesn't the iCal on my Mac Pro sync with the iCal on my iPhone?

The iCal on my Mac Pro (Lion 10.7.3) and the iCal on my iPhone (iOS 5.1) don't sync - why? Not very impressed with iCloud at the moment.

You're looking on the wrong page, Anne. Look at the top of that screen; you should see Summary, Info, Apps, Music, and a few other buttons up there. Click on the "Info" button. Then you'll find the options for synching calendars and contacts.

ICal / Exchange / iOS-Cal sync creates multiple events and multiple problem

Hi,
I got an iPod Touch for Xmas, so I've rejigged all my iCal calendars to sync via the Enterprise Exchange server at my works. I have three calendars, one for my work appointments, one for my personal appointments and one for other appointments and events.
I expected to get some weirdness from previous iCal experience, but I've found an odd set of behaviours.
Some all-day events become midnight to midnight events on the iPod only.
Some events became duplicated.
Many of these duplicated events do not appear on the iPod, only in Exchange and iCal on OSX.
If I change an event on iOS4 Cal.app, say the free/busy information or a deletion, the event changes as expected on Exchange (as seen via Outlook Web Access etc).
If I change an event on iCal on OSX, the event duplicates itself on Exchange, but not on the iPod.
If I delete a duplicate event (in any exchange synced calendar) on iCal on OSX, the event reappears a few minutes later or on refreshing. If I delete a duplicate event Cal.app on iOS, it stays deleted.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing? I've seen some notes about duplications via MobileMe, but I don't have that feature. Is there a different method of referring to Exchange events used in iCal on OSX and Cal.app on iOS?
Also, when I moved my third calendar to Exchange, it made all the events "Show as Busy". Does anyone know a way of programmatically (e.g. Applescript) setting all those to "Free"? I can't seem to find an event property that matches the value given in "Show As..." when you view the event.

Jeeze, I'm try to sort this out as well. Some iCal Events (but not all), are duplicating within iCal on the MAC. The Mobileme Calendar and the iPhone Calendar seem okay (no Dups).
Could this be a simple matter of turning off (unchecking), the calendar boxes for the Calendars "ON MY MAC" and also minimizing that Directory Tree and leaving on and expanded the [email protected] Directory Tree with Calendar Boxes checked ?
Done that way, MobileMe and the iPhone are being updated.
Having said that, the obvious conclusion is that any New Event entered into a Calendar within the "ON MY MAC" directory tree is not going to be synced with MobileMe nor the iPhone and is a waste of time.
Furthermore, Any New Event entered into a calendar on the iPhone will be synced with its coressponding Calendar in MOBILME, and it's Directory tree in iCal on the MAC - But Not the "ON MY MAC" Directory tree - That never gets synced. Am I right or am I going crazy.

Why doesn't my ical and address book no longer sync between the iphone4S and my MacBook?

Can anyone explain why the new iphone doesn't sync back to my MacBook. My ical won't sync, nor will my address book when I make changes to either device? I just bought the phone today and no one at the Mac Store could provide any assistance. I was told that, "it's too new." and had to set up a call with tech support for next Tuesday. I need to work so if anyone could help with this that would be great!
Thank you!

I think my company updated Exchange on Friday and since then I cannot sync with Mac Mail, Entourage does not seem to be working either?
Any fix found

HT5887 Why doesn't AirDrop work between iOS and OSX?

Apple has almost always never fail to seamlessly integrate its devices, until now? I understand that there is iCloud for content sharing between devices. However, AirDrop was introduced as a simpler way for users to not only share contents between their own devices but as well as other users. I understand that the logic behind AirDrop was practiced by windows users since the creation of modem, though it requires many complex steps and compatibility checks to achieve a simple logic. (and Windows never really bothered with perfecting it over all these years, its improved, still buggy)
My question is, why can't we share contents between iOS and OSX? Everytime I need to transfer some files/content, the quickest way I could think of is to send an email to myself. Just the other day I tried to have my colleague AirDrop a file from his 5S to my MBP. I told him with great confidence that this tech existed long ago, and finally Apple decide to kick some DOS *** and launch a super simple version. And that it should by right work with any device with BT and/or WiFi, but knowing Apple, it would only be for their own products. Not in my wildest dreams it didn't work cross OS.
Forget the embarassment, I want to be pampered by this seamless technology. I want the type of exclusiveness with my fellow family and friends of which majority are Apple lovers. I want to regain the confidence that whenever I step out of my room, whichever device I carry/left out, I can do/resume/engage everything as long as I carry an Apple device.
Music, Videos, E-mails, Docs, Images, iMessages, are all checked. So why not Content Sharing?

We would like to know the answer as much as you would. All you can to direct your questions to the only people who can really answer: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Why doesn't imessage work from ios 5 device to ios 6?

I can't seem send iMessages to my brother who has an iPhone 5 running ios 6 from my iPhone 4 running ios 5. It tries, but always reverts to a text message.
I have not tested this with any other people as I don't know anyone else with the new iPhone. For all I know this is a device to device issue but I'd like to know if anyone else has had this problem.
I will not change from ios 5 to ios 6 as the pros don't outweigh the cons for my needs.

Sounds like a reason to just buy an Adroid phone.
I can bluetooth content to my MacBook Pro using an Android, no problems.

Why doesn't .mac email get pushed to iPhone?

So I seet up a .mac account. But the email isn't pushed to my iPhone. I only get it if I chck mail on the iPhone.
Is .mac email pushed?

I access my .Mac account on my iPhone and a free Yahoo Push IMAP account and there isn't much difference except for the .Mac account having to be checked for new messages but there have been a number of reports here indicating that Yahoo's free Push account does not always Push or work properly. In addition, Yahoo's free Push IMAP account includes advertisements with sent messages - not good.
There are a number of benefits included with a .Mac account - especially with the changes and improvements just announced so you may want to rethink using a Yahoo account instead just due to Push.

Why doesn't smpatch analyze match patchdiag output?

Can someone explain this and if it will change in the future. If so, when ca we expect it?
First, I understand that the patchdiag.xref file is commonly more current than patchdb.zip (by a day) but that's not what I am talking about.
I see across most hosts and OS versions patches that aren't flagged for update by smpatch analyze but are by patchdiag. Many are obviously important files (not obscure), a good example I have seen on other boxes are the SUNWsan patches, sd patches, etc.
Below is an example from a Solaris 10 box.
