Why is iphone 5 setting calendar alerts

My calendar automatically sets alerts on all day events after the OS7 update. When I go in and delete the alert notification, the delete action appears to save the "none" setting, then the next time I turn my phone on the alerts I already deleted now exist again in my calendar.

because you haven't searched this site and read through what causes poor battery performance and how easily it's remedied.

How do I set calendar alerts on iPad for more than 2 days?

How do I set a calendar alert on iPad for more than 2 days.

When you add a event it says alert. Tap alert then change to 1 week before.

Can't set Calendar Alerts for Google Calendar

I have several Google Calendars for my work and personal schedules. I've used Apple Calendar (formerly iCal) on my Mac, and the Calendar app on my iPhone to interact with my Google Calendars for years with no issues.
After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I can no longer set alerts on any Google Calendar events. When I edit a Google Calendar event using Apple Calendar, I can change any field, including the 'Alert' settings. However, when I click to save my changes, the alert settings are entirely removed.
In Calendar Preferences, I can set a default alert that applies to all my Google Calendars, but I can't change the settings for any individual calendar event. If I attempt to do so, then Apple Calendar removes all alerts from the event.
UPDATE: It seems the problem is that Google Calendar doesn't know what to do with a "Message with sound" alert type. You can use "Message" and it works fine (with no sound obviously).

Strange, I am experiencing the exact problems you describe, however it doesn't matter whether the alert is set as "message" or "message with sound".
By default, events created in a Google calendar have an alert of "mesage, 30 minutes before". If I try to change the time, add a new alert, or remove the default alert, inevitably it get's reset to the default state.
Furthermore, If I change the alert using Google Calendar in a web browser, the event in Calendar (aka iCal) doesn't get updated, it stays at 30 minutes. Sometimes I receive the alert an hour before anyway, despite what Calendar indicates. Very Frustrating.

Setting calendar alerts -- What happened to 12 hours?

I always had a 12-hour alert. Now my alerts are 24-hours out. That doesn't do me a bit of good and hasn't since ML came out.
I'm no expert, but normally I can figure this sort of stuff out. How come I can't have a simple 12-hour notification anymore? Did I miss something?

If you open Calendar's Preferences (under Calendars in the menu bar) then choose "Alerts", 12 hours is not one of the default choices, but you have plenty of other choices as shown here:

Why can't I set calendar events with start and end times down to the minute?

Hi everyone
Unless I've missed it, it's not possible to set events that have times that start and end to the minute rather than 5 minute slots. I work shifts that start at individual minutes.
Is there actually a way of doing this, other than on my Mac? Siri is a far too long-winded way of doing it.
Thanks

Do you not get this popup sheet where you can set the number and timeframe?

Why can't you set iCal alarm to email on iOS?

I set iCal on OSX to email me ~12hrs before events, then alert me again 1hr and 30min before. Why can't you set email alerts on iCal for iOS and why are the alerts limited to only two? I feel like the features on iCal for iOS and OSX should be similar but they are not.

Why can't I set a second alert on my iPad calendar app?

Why can't I set a second alert on my iPad calendar app? I can set two alerts per event on the iPhone version, but the iPad version doesn't show the option that pops up after entering a first alert on the iPhone.

You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.

Why am I getting double popup alerts for Google Calendar events on iPhone?

This is happening on both mine and my wife's iPhones (mine is a 4 and hers is a 3GS) which are both on the latest iOS (6.0.1). This is what I've figured out:
On iPhones: Default is to set no alerts/reminder for calendar events
On Google Calendar: Default is to set a popup alert 1 hour before event & email 1 hour before event
When I create a new event on my iPhone: It saves with no alerts set, then after uploading to google calendar it shows as having two alerts 1 hour before the event. If I go into Google Calendar, it shows that 1 popup and 1 email are each set for 1 hour before the event.
When I create a new event on in Google Calendar: It saves with 1 popup and 1 email are each set for 1 hour before the event per the default settings. If I go to my iPhone, it shows that I have 2 alerts, both for 1 hour before the event.
So it seems that the iPhone is seeing both the popup and email alerts and creating two popup alerts on my phone!
Is there anyway to fix this? I've tried setting up the calendar on my iPhone through Gmail account, Exchange account and CalDav account and it's all the same.

I figured it out. It has to do with which calendars you want displayed. Duplications come from multiple calender selections.

How can I remove calendar alerts from my iPhone?

My iPhone 4 (iOS 6) seems to be adding calendar alerts on its own and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to remove them. I use iCal on my Macbook Pro (running Mountain Lion 10.8.2) to sync my calendar events. None of my events on iCal have alerts set to them and I have disabled all alerts in my iCal preferences. Yet, for some reason, when I look at a calendar event on my iPhone, an alert is set for it.
How do I remove these properly? I do not simply want to silence these alerts, but figure out how they got there in the first place and remove them completely. For comparison's sake, I've included an image of the event from iCal and the event from my iPhone.

Hi pjdemeo,
I understand you want to delete all of the photos from your iPhone. As a precaution, I would suggest importing the photos and videos from your iPhone into your computer. This will give you a backup for the images, and after import you will be asked if you want to delete the photos.
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201302
The iPhone User Guide has instructions for deleting photos directly from the device:
Organize photos and videos - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all iOS 8.1 devices that use iCloud Photo Library beta with the same Apple ID.

Latest IOS 7.1 Release - How can I set calendar events to the minute. This was enhanced in ios7 and now has gone back to 5 minute blocks. Why???/

In IOS6 you could only set calendar appointments at 5 minute intervals. This was fixed in IOS7 but has reverted back in the latest release of IOS7.1. Why? IS there any way to override it. It means I have to go back to my old method of putting my actual golf tee time in the description of the appointment.

Design change with iOS 7.1. Tell Apple you don't like this here:

How do you stop calendar alerts from setting themselves on iOS 7?

After my upgrade to iOS 7, my wife's gmail calendar items on my iPhone now all have alerts set for 5 minutes before the event. In Gmail, the none of her events have alerts set. I'd like that to be how my iPhone shows them. I have tried to fix by deleting her calendar account and re-adding. Didn't work. I didn't have this problem before the upgrade to iOS 7. Events without reminders in gmail should not have reminders on my iPhone, right? I have the default alert time set to 5 minutes, but that should only control new calendar items, right? On my work calendar, event alert times are still controlled correctly (if the event has a 15 minute alert, it stays at 15 minutes). One last piece, I successfully upgraded my iPad without this problem happening there. Suggestions?

Did you automatically sync? If so, try manually syncing. At least this way, you will have control of the music you sync. No duplicates.

Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts?

How do I set the default time for calendar alerts? I always want to have an alert 15 minutes before my appointments. I don't want to have to manually set it each time I make an appointment (I just moved to iphone from a windows mobile where this was basic stuff so I apologise if this is a noob question).

I have the same issue. I've searched these forums and found lots of people who have asked this same question, but nobody who has received an answer.
About a year ago, I migrated from a Windows PC and a Blackberry (both of which had very simple default alert options) to a MacBook Pro and an iPhone and have yet to find a solution on this forum or from any of my Apple-savvy friends. Very discouraging.

Why are my contacts and calendars showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated? Help!

Why are my contacts and calendar showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated? Is there anyway to remove them or stop
them from going directly to her phone? Help!!!! Thanks guys

So, am I to conclude from all this that the best thing for one iMac and multiple family devices (2 x iphones, 1 x itouch, 2 x ipods) is to set up itunes account for each family member. We don't use iCloud except for my (primary iphone)
We had similar problems to the above, and since the recent 6.0.1 update we've started getting each others texts, on top of my wife and I's contacts being replicated to our young son's itouch, and a seemingly random redistribution of apps.

Calendar: Setting an alert for more than "2 days before"?

I'm sure there is a way to set an alert for more than "2 days before" when creating a new event. Every PDA out there allows infinite options in this regard, yet I can't do this on the iphone?
How can set my iPhone calendar alerts for "7 days before" or something to this effect? Can I change the defaults? What can I do?

You can set the reminder in your computer, instead of on the iphone as the iphone's longest option is two days.
From the manual:
"Alert time—from five minutes to two days before the event "
