X-APPLE-DEFAULT-ALARM to remove default alarm from iOS 6 subscribed calendar events?

After upgrading to iOS 6, all events in subscribed calendars get a default alarm. Is there a directive inside the .ics stream that can stop this from happening?
Searching the web I found an “X-APPLE-DEFAULT-ALARM:TRUE” directive but it doesn’t seem to work and I can’t find any Apple documentation on it. Can you direct me to the full list/documentation of iOS 6 supported “X-APPLE“ extensions to iCalendar?
Thanks!

OK, so I have had this issue for the past several months. I think it all started when I upgraded to ML from SL and migrated my calendars and contacts to iCloud. That was a couple months ago. But now I am running 10.8.2, and about two weeks ago I upgraded my iOS devices to 6.0.1.
I don't seem to be having any issues with events that I create now, but all those old events that were migrated to iCloud a couple months ago, many of those sound alerts on the iOS devices even though there was no alert defined when the event was originally created. I have always had alerts off by default both in iCal and on the iOS devices.
So here's the question: is there a way to go through and disable all these spurious event alerts? I've been disabling them as the event reminders come up, but it's irritating. It would be nice if there was a way to turn them off all in one shot somehow.

  • HT5510 WHY IN THE HECK WOULD YOU REMOVE APP GIFTING FROM IOS 6???

    WHY would you remove this feature from iOS 6? It makes absolutely no sense why you would add so many great features and then remove such a convenient and simple way to be able to gift an app to a friend or family!!! I bought my little sister an iPad mostly so that I could FaceTime with my niece, but she doesn't have a whole lot of money to spare on even inexpensive apps so app gifting was such a simple and effective way for me to get apps to her.
    Apple has made such an amazing revolutionary device, and gone to such lengths to free the iPad from being a "PC accessory", dependent on a computer to setup, sync, and so on. Cutting it's cord with the addition of iCloud, making the iPad a completely self sufficient device capable of virtually everything which not so long ago required a full fledged computer. I don't even remember the last time I actually even turned my computer on because Apple had done such an amazing job at providing the iPad with the functionality to serve all of my needs independently. So now I suppose I'm thankful I didn't end up selling off my computer like I had planned, since I'll have to dust it off occasionally just to send my sister a $.99 cent app!? Removing app gifting from within iOS is a HUGE mistake not to mention taking a step backwards requiring you to use iTunes on a computer just to gift a simple little app? Come on Apple, this is ABSURD, ADD IT BACK to iOS NOW!!! Ultimately this dumb maneuver has to be cutting into profits so it's a lose/lose for the app developers, for myself and others who gifted apps fairly frequently, as well Apple themselves! It completely blows my mind as to why they would even think of taking that option out of iOS!

  • How can you get the unknown  previous owners on iPhone 5 Apple ID account be removed old device from Find iPhone ?

    After recent update 7.0.3 iPhone 5 started activation after I put in sim and did not accept sim bc of Apple ID of previous owner was still on the iPhone and can't activate it without the previous owner removing the account from find my iPhone .

    No, you first use common sense then you put it in a company IT policy document. So you are saying that you cannot create an Apple ID for each individual, because it is a hassle? So I guess it is also a hassle to create company email accounts because there are many people "coming and going"?
    Have the IT department create an Apple ID for each user with a "temporary" password. Then the user can change it. Once the emplyee leaves, he turns in his phone and gives the password to IT so they can deactivate his Activation lock and reset the phone. Or do what razmee209 has suggested.
    I guess the above might be a problem in your company where it is apparent that people are getting run over by buses all of the time and dying every hour.

  • Apple TV unable to remove tv shows from favorites

    After the latest upgrade I am unable to remove tv shows from favorites and when I rearrange the icons they go back to the previous order after a few minutes.  Is anyone having this issue?  Any ideas on a resolution or is this just another of the many bugs in the latest release?

  • Heartbleed: Remove Certificate Authority from iOS device

    Hi,
    I am in the process of changing SSL certificates after the Heartbleed bug. As I wasn't able to find a reliable cross platform way to revoke my internal certificates (e.g. Chrome doesn't check CRLs), I'm planning to reissue new certificates based on a new internal certificate authority (CA) and to remove the old CA from all systems. This should render all previous certificates as untrusted.
    This is easy for Linux, Windows and OS X, but how can I do this for iOS 7 devices? I believe the CA certificate was originally deployed to the iOS devices through a configuration profile. However, when I go to Settings > General > Profiles, there is no such profile listed. The iOS Safari shows my internal HTTPs pages without certificate warnings, thus the device must somehow have remembered that CA as trustworthy.
    Here are my questions:
    How can I view and/or modify the trust settings of CAs on iOS 7 devices?
    Where did the configuration profile with the CA go (I know that's a little weird to ask here) and why is the CA still active?
    Why are internal Https pages still trusted even if there is no configuration profile for that?
    This absolutely puzzles me! I always thought that for a custom CA to be active on a iOS device a configuration profile was required to be present. But that does not seem to be the case.
    Thanks for your help!

    The workaround seems to be the following:
    Go to the iPhone Configuration Utility
    Install the profile (again)
    Go to your iPhone and deinstall the profile that was just installed in Settings > General > Profiles
    Certificates signed by that authority are not trusted anymore.
    I consider this to be a major security problem in iOS if there is a way that profiles enable CAs and then get lost sometime later (maybe through an iOS upgrade?).

  • Apple TV update 7.03 brakes Airplay from IOS 8 device

    Our Apple TV worked fine prior the latest update.
    - after 7.03 it works fine from MacBook 10.10.2
    - IOS device: you can see and select, but Airplay does not happen.
    Suggestions?
    Tried iPhone and iPad.

    I'm having an issue with my AppleTV's not even showing up on any iOS device's AirPlay menu. The iOS device and the AppleTV/s are on the same network, the network is functioning and I can see that the AppleTV's are present on the network. But no matter what I do, I can't get the AppleTV to show up as being selectable for AirPlay. This problem has only started after I upgraded to 7.0.2. I was hoping 7.0.3 did something to resolve this but the issue remains the same. This has made all of my AppleTV's running 7.0.2 and above un-usable.
    Meanwhile, my older 2nd gen AppleTV's running 6.1.2 are still working perfectly. What can I do about this? I've factory restored the device/s many times to no avail. I have (of course) restarted the AppleTV's and have also tried using ethernet but that doesn't work either. Unfortunately most of my classrooms using AppleTV don't have ethernet connections available so we have to rely on the WIFI.
    What other solution is there? No network changes have been made that could specifically relate to this to my knowledge - and again, AppleTV's running 6.1.2 work fine. Unless something has changed on the networking side of the coin with the 7.X.X firmware? I can't find a changelog that specifically addresses what bugs are fixed (if any) or changes made. Desperate for a solution here.

    As Dah•veed said, you can delete an app on one divice, and still have it stay on another. The syncing only applies for downloaing apps when you have "Sync Purchases" enabled for the App Store. This goes for the iTunes, iBooks, and Podcasts apps as well.

  • Is it too much to ask from apple, an option for different volumes levels from different apps, including alarm, text, email, basically from every posible app?

    Is it too much to ask from apple, an option for different volumes levels from different apps, including alarm, text, email, basically from every posible app?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • How to Change the Projector's Default Background. I would like to change the default backgound from the Apple Starfield to plain black

    I want to be able to change my projectors default background while using my mac book pro. Currently it is showing Apple's signature background. I would like to change it to a plain black background so that when I disengage mirroring the screen the audience sees will go black; thus allowing me to make any necessary changes/switch programs and then engage mirroring. Any suggestions besides using a video switcher?

  • Remove default value from dropdown list

    I am currently working with Acrobat XI Pro version. I want to know whether it is possible to remove the default value from a dropdown list.
    When the list has less than 4 items, it is possible to deselect the default value by pressing the whitespace below. However, when there are more items, this is not possible anymore.
    I have read that you should include a whitespace as item in the item list, however, then you will see an empty list item when people are working with the pdf which is not preferable.
    So, does anyone know how to remove the default value from a dropdown list?
    Thanks!

    Ok, I found a perfect workaround for my problem using FormsCentral for Acrobat. Here is what you should do:
    Step 1:
    -   Open FormsCentral
    -   Create New Form (Choose Blank Form)
    -   Click on the dropdown icon to create a new dropdown
    -   Fill in the list items by clicking on the edit (you also can add a label if you want)
    -   Click: File > Save as PDF Form...
    Step 2:
    -   Open the saved PDF (you now see a blank pdf with a dropdown menu)
    -   Click: Tools > Forms > Edit Form (when a popup shows that you should save a copy of the document in order to make changes, press "Save as a copy" and open the pdf copy file with Acrobat)
    -   Select the dropdown, copy the dropdown and paste it in the desired document
    Now you have a dropdown menu without a default choice. Keep in mind that you cannot edit the items in the dropdown, because a default choice will be chosen and you have to use the pdf copy file again. As long as you don't click on a list item, it doesn't choose a default choice.
    It is not a perfect solution, but it works for me.
    Good luck and thanks!
