Re: Mac OS Sonoma: Calendar View Changed

['Jason J.G. White' via MacVisionaries]

Two suggestions:

  1.  Lodge a support case with Apple.
  2.  Try installing the latest MacOS public beta, and if you can reproduce the 
problems, report them there.
Realistically, that’s all you can do. The software is not open-source. Only 
Apple’s engineers can change it.

Subject: Re: Mac OS Sonoma: Calendar View Changed
Hi,
this seems to be a new bug introduced in Sonoma. Let’s hope Apple won’t let us 
wait for a whole aeyr to solve it.

I additionally experience VO jumps randomly out of a day with which I was 
interacted.

Has anyone an idea for a good and accessible calendar app to replace the nativ 
calendar app?

Thanks and all the best
Jürgen

It seems to me that I can no longer navigate week-by-week in the month view of

I like to use VO table navigation keystrokes to move up/down through the 
calendar, just like it is a grid or table. That allowed me to jump to the next 
or previous day in another  week.

Now I cannot get that grid to come back. All my navigation is strictly 
vertical,, and if I want to jump to the next week, I need to arrow down through 
all the days of the current week.
This behavior seems to be permanent in Sonoma OS, when in Ventura it was 
sporadic.
Any tips for me?

Mac OS Sonoma: Calendar View Changed

It seems to me that I can no longer navigate week-by-week in the month view of 
the native calendar app.

I like to use VO table navigation keystrokes to move up/down through the 
calendar, just like it is a grid or table. That allowed me to jump to the next 
or previous day in another  week.

Now I cannot get that grid to come back. All my navigation is strictly

Hi,

Hmm.  Interesting indeed.  Check your own settings in Zoom to make sure that 
you’re set to join with computer by default.

Re: Clicking on Zoom link in Calendar app

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

That means that the creator of the Zoom session set the default as a phone 
connection for audio.  Not sure why, but, whatever.  Instead, when you navigate 
to the web address in the calendar invite, after VO announces it, press 
VO-shift-c, which will copy the last phrase announced by VO.  Go into Safari, 
press cmd-l then cmd-v to paste that announced address into the address field.  
Press return and follow the prompts.  It should bring up a dialog asking you to 
allow the opening of the Zoom app, press Allow and you should be in.

Hi Tim,

There is a join button but when I click on the button, it doesn’t take me to 
the Zoom app. Instead, it tries to make a phone call.

Re: Clicking on Zoom link in Calendar app

['Tim Kilburn' via MacVisionaries]

Hi,

Normally, the Calendar app recognizes that it’s a link to a Zoom meeting, and 
there will be a Join button in the calendar displayed info.

Later…

Clicking on Zoom link in Calendar app

[minh Tam ha]

Good morning everyone,

I have a few standing Zoom meetings on my calendar, but I am unable to click on 
the link in the Calendar app on the Mac to get the meeting started. Is this not 
possible through the app?

Thanks,
Minh

Re: .ics invites and Google Calendar

[Jonathan C. Cohn]

Hello, Ics files are plain text files, though I don't remember the date format 
they use for dates. The apple mail calandars do not actually automattically 
import ICS when they open dem but instead present a  dialog where you can 
review and choose a calindar to add them to or cancel i'mport. 
I expect the thmat has progressed some but these have been around for about 10 
years.

Re: .ics invites and Google Calendar

['Jason White' via MacVisionaries]

If Apple’s Calendar application can access Google Calendar, then you could import the meeting invitations into Apple’s Calendar application. I suspect this is the default application for handling the file if you open it from the Finder or from a terminal with the open command. Thus the first step would be to add your Google account to the Mac so the calendar can access it. On 11/2/21, 14:52, "'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries"  wrote:When someone sends me a calendar invite via a .ics file, what's myeasiest path to add that data into Google Calendar? Frankly, what's the easiest way to see the date and time proposed forthe meeting while in Mail? Thanks for all suggestions. Janina --  Janina Sajkahttps://linkedin.com/in/jsajkaLinux Foundation FellowExecutive Chair, Accessibility Workgroup:  http://a11y.orgThe World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)Co-Chair, Accessible Platform Architectures  http://www.w3.org/wai/apa-- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list. If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. Your Mac Visionaries list moderator is Mark Taylor.  You can reach mark at:  mk...@ucla.edu and your owner is Cara Quinn - you can reach Cara at caraqu...@caraquinn.com The archives for this list can be searched at:http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries@googlegroups.com/--- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to macvisionaries+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/macvisionaries/YYGIz4PIU9SyZIBX%40rednote.net.

.ics invites and Google Calendar

['Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries]

When someone sends me a calendar invite via a .ics file, what's my
easiest path to add that data into Google Calendar?

Frankly, what's the easiest way to see the date and time proposed for
the meeting while in Mail?

Thanks for all suggestions.

You can also do VO O at any time to bring up the notification center and 
dismiss it that way.

Re: Yet another question; this time about calendar

[Greg Wocher]

Hello,
Use the command vo plus command plus spacebar when you hear the calendar 
announcement. This will bring up a list of actions you can take on the 
notification. You can then arrow down to close and select it. This should make 
the notification go away.

Re: Alternative Calendar app

[David Chittenden]

Yes, I had this problem for a few years when using Apple Calendar with an 
MS Exchange calendar. It corrected when I started using Google Calendar on 
my iPad. I no longer use the Apple calendar for creating appointments.

Kind regards,

Re: Reading Attachments Included In Calendar Events

['Andrew Lamanche' via MacVisionaries]

Pete,

If you place vo cursor on the name of the pdf file, try to invoke contextual 
menu with vo+shift=m and see whether it would give you any choices like save or 
open attachment?  I have no idea whether it will work but it’s worth testing it.

Re: Reading Attachments Included In Calendar Events

[Pete De Vasto]

Absolutely no apologies necessary. I’ve mis-read more stuff in my lifetime than 
I’d like to remember. This is the first time in all my years that I have ever 
had something like this happen, where I just get the invitation, no e-mail. And 
what’s amazing is that I cannot find any documentation. Apple praises the idea 
that you can have all the info you need for a particular meeting in one place, 
but it sure would be nice if they told you how to look at the contents of any 
files that are included.

Go have yourself a wonderful evening!

Re: Reading Attachments Included In Calendar Events

I’m so sorry Pete.  I thought you had a PDF file emailed to you with your 
calendar invite.

I don’t know if you can save files sent to you in a calendar invite but you can 
do this now in Windows.  I thought you could do the same in the Mac.  But I 
think I read your mail wrong.

End of the day for me.

Kawal,

These instructions will not work for me. I did not get any e-mail about the 
invitation, it was only on my calendar. Is there something I’m missing where I 
somehow can link e-mail to the calendar?

Re: Reading Attachments Included In Calendar Events

['Kawal Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries]

Hi Pete.

Here are some instructions.

Save attached file in a folder, may be downloads.

Then go to dock and context menu control shift M and highlight the pdf file and 
cursor to open.

The file will open in preview.  Interact with the PDF file and it should read 
it or do VO a to make the file read automatically.

If anyone thinks I have got it wrong please correct me.

Thanks.

Kawal.

Re: Siri and Calendar: how to turn off automatic Emailing of invitations

[Jürgen Fleger]

This is what I do as well. But does anyone know why on earth Calendar does this 
without assking back the user? To me this is an extremely annoyying behavior 
using Siri. 
A person told me it should be polite to do so in the US and very impolite don’t 
to send invitations for events. Can you confirm this? I once ran in a very 
embarrassing situation because of this.
Thanks and all the best

Siri and Calendar: how to turn off automatic Emailing of invitations

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello, 
I am running IOS 13.3 on my iPhone 8. I find using the on screen keyboard slow 
and inaccurate and so use Siri instead.
I recently said to Siri “schedule lunch with Bob”.Siri then asked me for the 
date and time which I provided. Siri then asked me which of the 2 Bobs in my 
address book I meant. I thus chose the right Bob. This was all excellent  
except that unknown to me Siri sent an invite Email to that Bob which rather 
mystified him. 
Is there any way to turn off this automatic sending of these invitation?
Many thanks…

How to stop iCloud calendar spam and junk mail, Apple Insider

[M. Taylor]

How to stop iCloud calendar spam and junk mail
By: William Gallagher
Monday, August 26, 2019 3:15 PM 

If you're suddenly being bothered by iCloud calendar spam invitations, here
are the steps you need to take to get rid of it all in Apple Mail on Mac and
iOS.

Apple generally does such a good job of cutting out spam that we don't even
have to think about it. Yet, sometimes there will suddenly be a new tidal
wave of the stuff that breaks through. While Apple did seem to have dealt
with the biggest one some years ago, attacks are on the rise again.

Here's what to do about it -both to rid yourself of the events today and
hopefully never get any again.

Calendar invitation spam
This type of spam will come in two flavors. One is when you get some junk
email and it includes an invitation alongside the usual Accept, Decline, or
Maybe buttons. The problem here is that whichever of these buttons you
click, it sends a notification back to the sender.

Which means that sender now knows your email address is a real and active
one. Accept, Decline or Maybe are each just the same way of telling that
spammer to target you more.

So you can't press any of the buttons. You could just delete the email, but
there is a better way -and it's provided by Apple.

When that happens, and it's an iCloud invitation, Apple has you covered. In
the email, right under those buttons, there will be a line that offers you a
way out. 

"Do not recognize this sender? Report Junk," it says. 

Click on Report Junk and then delete the email.

The harder, more intensely irritating spam event, is when this invitation is
not sent over email but is instead pushed out by an assailant. If an event
has appeared in your calendar without you adding it, that's what has
happened.

When that's the case, though, this event hasn't just been added to your
overall Calendar, it's actually been added to one calendar in your set of
them. If you've never tried dividing work and home events into different
calendars that get displayed together, you may not even have known that you
can do this.

As well as, for instance, "home" or "work" calendars, though, you can create
as many as you like and name them in any way you want.

So create one called Spam.

You can create a new calendar and move all spam into it. Then either don't
display that calendar, or delete it entirely -along with those events

On the Mac, you do this by:
.   Open Calendar
.   Choose File/New Calendar
.   In the Calendar sidebar, click to name this new calendar

On iOS devices, you instead: 
.   Tap Calendars at the bottom of the screen
.   Tap Add Calendar
.   Name it
.   Tap Done

In either case, you now have a new calendar and by default, it's always
displayed alongside your regular one. You could choose to stop it being
displayed by just unticking it, on the Mac or iOS, and so never see anything
in there.

To get of these errant events, though, click on one and assign it to your
Spam calendar. Do that to as many as you have, and then do delete the
calendar.

On the Mac:
.   Right click on the calendar
.   Choose Delete
.   From the dialog that appears, choose Delete again

On iOS:
.   Tap Calendars
.   Tap on the i button next to your Spam calendar
.   Scroll to the bottom
.   Tap Delete Calendar

In either case, you have removed that calendar -and also all of the spam
events in it. And you didn't send the junk mailer any notification.

Stop it from happening again
Apple changed its systems specifically to help stop you getting any more of
this, and it did so by altering Calendar's preferences -on iCloud.com.
There's nothing you can do, not officially, on a Mac app outside of Safari,
or on iOS device, but you can set a preference online.

It'd be good if this were a setting in Mail on iOS or Mac, but at least here
in iCloud it should catch spam events before you see them
.   Log in to iCloud.com
.   Click on Calendar
.   Click on the cog icon at bottom left
.   Choose Preferences
.   Click Advanced
.   Select Receive event invitations as an Email

Now if someone wants to spam you, they'll have to try to call you and hassle
you that way -and we've details on how to reduce those calls, too.

Re: How to use Calendar with Siri in iOS, iMore

[Jürgen Fleger]

Hi,

Calendar and Siri works great. But there are two things I don’t like about it 
in my german versions. I don’t know whether this is the case in the US version 
as well:
• If I start creating a new event by telling Siri „create new Calendar event“ 
it very often appears as „New Event“ in the event title. I need to make a 
correction afterwards or just except the title „New Event“.
• If I use a name from my contacts in the event title using Siri, for example 
„Meeting with Thomas“, Siri sends an invitation to Thomas without asking back 
if I would like to do this? And if there are more then one person called Thomas 
in the contacts Siri asks too who Thomas she should send the invitation. Siri 
doesn’t except if I say „none of them“. Siri will repeat to ask this question 
until I choose one Thomas or stop the request.

Do you experience these behaviors in the US version of iOS as well? Someone 
told me in the US it should be a matter of politeness to send an invitation and 
so this setting was on purpose. Is that true?

Thanks and all the best
Jürgen

How to use Calendar with Siri in iOS, iMore

How to use Calendar with Siri

Siri is not just voice commands on all of your Apple devices-it's your
personal digital assistant as well. And with a digital assistant, you'll
probably want to use Siri to manage your hectic schedule. After all, chances
are high that we all have meetings, appointments, and scheduled events to
keep track of every day, so keeping them all together on your iPhone, iPad,
or Mac just makes sense.
However, while inputting everything in manually is totally possible, using
Siri to add, update, and even cancel events just makes your life much
easier, and who doesn't want that?
So here's everything you can do with Siri when it comes to managing your
hectic schedule.

How to create a calendar event with Siri
When you're out-and-about, it can be a hassle to open up Calendar, create a
new event, and then fill out all of the details. In fact, it's much easier
to just tell Siri and have her add it to your Calendar for you.
1.  Activate Siri by holding down your Home or Power button, or just say
"Hey Siri".
2.  Tell Siri what you want to schedule, including date and time, along
with a name if applicable. 
For example, say "Schedule a call with Lory Gil tomorrow at 12 pm." Of
course, you'll replace the names and date and time with your own info.
If you have multiple calendars and want your event to go to a particular
one, make sure to mention it to Siri. Otherwise, it will just go to your
default calendar.
3.  Siri will then display a preview of your event and ask you to
confirm.
4.  If there is something wrong with the event info, you can tell Siri
to Change to edit details.
5.  You can also Cancel the event if you change your mind.
6.  If you want to add it to your Calendar, just say Yes when Siri
confirms.

How to update a calendar event with Siri
Sometimes you'll need to make adjustments to your scheduled events because
of last-minute changes and whatnot. We get it, stuff happens, and it's often
a very common thing. Siri can help you make changes to your appointments,
and it's super easy!
1.  Activate Siri by holding down your Home or Power button, or say "Hey
Siri".
2.  Tell Siri that you want to move or reschedule an event. 
Simply say something along the lines of "Move my 3 pm meeting tomorrow" or
"Reschedule my doctor appointment to next Tuesday."
3.  When you have multiple events in one day, Siri will ask you to
confirm the event you want to update. 
If it's a recurring event, Siri will ask if you want to modify just that
event or all future events. You can tap on the options or speak them to her.
4.  Let Siri know what details need to be modified. 
For example, you can say "Move my meeting on Thursday at 10 am to tomorrow
at 3 pm."
5.  Once you give Siri a new time and date for an appointment, she will
ask you to confirm with a Yes, either verbally or by tapping the button.

How to cancel a calendar event with Siri
If you no longer need to have a meeting on your calendar, just cancel it
completely. Siri is happy to assist with that as well.
1.  Activate Siri by holding down the Home or Power button, or just say
"Hey Siri".
2.  Tell Siri which event you want to cancel. 
For example, you can say "Cancel my lunch with Ryan tomorrow at 4 pm."
If you had multiple meetings with someone, Siri will ask you to confirm the
specific one that you want to cancel.
3.  Siri will want you to confirm what you just told her, so just say
Yes or tap the button.

How to view and check your Calendar with Siri
Sometimes we're just crazy busy and forget what's on our calendars. Don't
worry, you can just ask Siri if there's anything scheduled on a particular
day.
1.  Activate Siri by holding down your Home or Power button, or just say
"Hey Siri".
2.  Tell Siri something along the lines of, "What's my schedule for
today?" or "What's on my calendar for Saturday?" or "What's on my calendar
for May 20?"
3.  After you specify a date for Siri to check, she will tell you if
there is anything scheduled, as well as display and read off what they are.

How to use Siri with third-party calendar apps
In iOS 12, Apple added Siri Shortcuts, which allows you to quickly do
everyday tasks with your favorite apps just by asking Siri. This means you
can have Siri work with your favorite third-party calendar apps, like
Fantastical, just by asking. Siri will also learn your routines over time,
suggesting common tasks on the Lock Screen or in Search. But you can add
them manually through the Settings app.
1.  Launch Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
2.  Scroll down and tap on Siri & Search.
3.  Take a look at Suggested Shortcuts and see if there is one for your
preferred third-party calendar app.
4.  If it doesn't appear in the suggest

calendar

[jean parker]

Regarding the calendar, I have been having trouble getting it to add dates with 
the correct time zone. Every time I hit more options to change the time zone 
the app closes.

iphone not creating calendar events

[Sarai Bucciarelli]

Hi all:

I am using Siri to schedule appointments. I make sure confirm is chosen.
Appointment says it is created; however when I ask what appointments are on
that day, or go to the day in the calendar, there is nothing scheduled.

I've powered on and off the phone, as well as turned off and back on iCloud
syncing options.

How to customize your Calendar settings on iPhone and iPad | iMore

How to customize your Calendar settings on iPhone and iPad

With Apple's built-in Calendar app, you have lots of customization options
to make it work the way you need it to.
By Lory Gil, 19 Jan 2018

The built-in Calendar app on iPhone and iPad is not only Apple's specially
designed event tracker, it's also a gateway to many other productivity apps
that sync with it to provide useful information for your daily life. Even if
you use a different calendar service, like Google or Microsoft, you can link
those services to your Calendar app to get the most out of your daily
planning. Apple's Calendar app has lots of dedicated customizations that you
can use to help make it work for you. Here's how to set them up the way you
want.
.   How to set up calendar accounts
.   How to change the default time zone for calendar alerts
.   How to select an alternate calendar type
.   How to turn week numbers on and off
.   How to turn invitee decliners on and off
.   How to manage calendar syncing
.   How to set default alert times
.   How to set the start of your week
.   How to set a default calendar
.   How to turn location suggestions on and off
.   How to turn Events Found in Apps on and off

How to setup calendar accounts
Whether you're using iCloud, Gmail, Outlook, or a dedicated IMAP account,
you can set it up to sync with the built-in Calendar app on iPhone and iPad.
Note: If you've already set up your email account, you may have already
completed these steps.
1.  Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2.  Tap Accounts & Passwords.
3.  Tap Add Account.
4.  Select an account service like iCloud, Google, or Outlook.
5.  Sign in with your account login credentials.
6.  Turn on the Calendars switch to sync that account's calendar.

How to change the default time zone for calendar alerts
By default, your iPhone and iPad will automatically change time zones as you
move about the country. However, you may want your calendar information to
stay in the time zone you live or work in. If you want to change the default
time zone, you can override it in your Calendar's settings.
1.  Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2.  Tap Calendar.
3.  Tap Time Zone Override.
4.  Turn on the Time Zone Override switch.
5.  Tap Time Zone.
6.  Search for the city you want to change the time zone to.
7.  Tap the city to change the default time zone for your Calendar app.

How to select an alternate calendar type
If you usually follow the Chinese, Hebrew, or Islamic calendar, you can make
that your default calendar type instead of the western one.
1.  Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2.  Tap Calendar.
3.  Tap Alternate Calendars.
4.  Tap Chinese, Hebrew, or Islamic.

How to turn week numbers on and off
By default, the Calendar app numbers each week in the year. For some, this
is a useful way to quickly see how many weeks have gone buy, but for others,
it's unnecessary information. You can turn this feature off or on to your
liking.
1.  Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2.  Tap Calendar.
3.  Turn the Week Numbers switch off or on.

How to turn invitee decliners on and off
If you're big on inviting others to events, you may want to know everyone
that has confirmed and declined the invitation. You may, however, not have
any interest in who is not attending your event. You can turn this feature
off or on to your liking.
1.  Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2.  Tap Calendar.
3.  Turn the Show Invitee Declines switch off or on.

How to manage calendar syncing
In order to keep data usage and internal storage to a minimum, your iPhone
and iPad, by default, only sync back one month. If you're likely to be
looking for older event information from your various calendars, you can
change how far back your accounts are synced.
1.  Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2.  Tap Calendar.
3.  Tap Sync.
4.  Tap the time frame you want to sync back to.

How to set default alert times
You can specify what time you want to receive an alert for an event on your
calendar. This does not override any events that you have manually selected
a notification time. It's for default event notifications for Birthdays,
timed events, and all-day events
1.  Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2.  Tap Calendar.
3.  Tap Default Alert Times.
4.  Select the alert you want to set a default time for.
5.  Select the time you want to receive the alert.

How to set a reminder to leave on time
You can also enable the ability to receive an alert to remind you what time
you should leave in order to make it to your event based on typical travel
time for events where you have an address included.
1.  Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2.  Tap Calendar.
3.  Tap Default Alert Times.
4.  Turn the Time to L

A Quick Question About Customizing iOS Native Calendar App Alerts

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,

When I create a new appointment in the native iOS Calendar app, on my 8
Plus, there does not seem to be a way of customizing the appointment
reminder alerts.  

For example, I would like an alert reminder for 4 days.  However, in the
app, the options go from 2 days to 1 week.

Question, is there a way to customize the appointment reminder alert from
within the native iOS Calendar app, itself?

I ask this because, if I create an iCloud calendar appointment via Microsoft
Outlook, I can customize the alerts to anytime I like.

Sometimes, I'll create the appointment on my phone, when out-and-about, then
modify it, later, when I'm back at home, using Outlook on my Windows PC.  It
would be nice to skip this second step, if possible.  

Just so you know, the iOS app honors any alert settings set via MS Outlook.

Thank you,

Mark

Re: alarms with calendar or alternative app?

[Jonathan Cohn]

I use calendar in the following way  to create items:

1. type command-N to create a new item.
2. This brings up a smart insert fields.
3. Type something like Leave at 5:30pm  and then hit enter
4. type command-i and use VoiceOver to review the calendar entry.

There is a button to do recurrences and it can be a little confusing for
more complex ones, but at least give that a try.

Now reviewing items in your calendar is much easier done on the iPhone.

Best wishes,

Jonathan

alarms with calendar or alternative app?

[CHUCK REICHEL]

Hi List,
Looking for a way to utilize these steps on my mac book air for calendar or a 
more VO friendly application to accomplish these steps below:
My Mac book air experience using the calendar app was very convoluted trying to 
execute these steps;
Any recommendations?

How to Set an Alarm on MacBook
By Avery Martin
While the App Store provides several options for installing an 
alarm clock on your Mac, you don't need to look any further than the Calendar 
app already installed with OS X Mavericks. Set alarms for birthdays, to wake up 
after a nap, remind you about important meetings or set up a one-time alarm for 
special occasions. The Calendar app even allows you to use a snooze feature to 
repeat the alarm after a delay of 15 minutes. Using the Calendar app also 
allows you to get alerts on your other devices, if you set up iCloud on your 
MacBook and other iOS devices.

Set your Calendar alarm to go off on all of your devices.

Set a One-Time Alert
Step 1
Click the Calendar icon located in the Dock. If the Calendar icon doesn't 
display in the Dock, click the "Go" menu, select "Applications" and 
double-click "Calendar."
Step 2
Double-click the date that you want to use for the alarm. Type a name for the 
alarm in the "New Event" text area.
Step 3
Select the date and choose the time that you want the alarm to go off in the 
"From:" field. You don't need to change the information in the "To:" field.
Step 4
Choose the "Alert:" drop-down menu and select "Custom."

Step 5
Select the "Message With Sound" option from the first drop-down menu.
Step 6
Choose a sound from the list of options in the second drop-down menu. 
Alternatively, select "Open File" and choose an audio file on your hard drive 
to play when the alarm goes off.
Step 7
Select "At the Time of Event" from the last drop-down menu and click "OK." You 
can also select the "Minutes Before" option and enter a numerical value to have 
the alarm go off before the set event time.
Set Events and Birthday Alerts
Step 1
Launch the Calendar app, select the "Calendar" menu and click "Preferences..." 
from the drop-down menu.

Step 2
Click the "Alerts" tab.
Step3
Select the "Events" drop-down menu and choose "At Time of Event." You can also 
choose another option, if you want the alarm to go off before the event.
Step 4
Select the "All Day Events:" drop-down menu, followed by the "Birthdays:" 
drop-down menu and select when you want the alarm to go off for both settings. 
You can select an option to set off the alarm on the day of the event, the day 
before, two days before or a week before.
Step 5
Uncheck the "Use These Default Alerts On Only This Computer" if you don't want 
the alerts to sync with your other iCloud connected devices.

Re: Problem editing calendar on El Capitan e3diting

[Jonathan Cohn]

Paul,

I don't generally mess with calendar entries in Calendar on my work El
Capitan since once a co-worker complained that I sent out 50 meeting
accepts. But in looking at it right now, what I find best is once the
appointment is highlighted, I press command-i (for info) and then I have no
difficulty tabbing around and editing fields.

Is this a standard iCloud calendar or another source? Also, is there a
specific view / sequence you have been using to view  the entry? I noticed
when in Month View, interacting did not always tell me anything about
individuals appointments on a specific day.

Hello Paul,

Sometimes, interacting makes these fields easier to edit. I’m on Sierra now so 
can’t test it for you.

Problem editing calendar on El Capitan e3diting

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello, 
I am running the latest El Capitan on my late 2008 iMac. 
I cannot edit either the event title or any notes to update a calendar entry. 
VO does not speak the characters in either of these fields as I arrow over 
them. Do others have this problem? If updating edit fields in calendar entries 
works for you then what VO speech verbosity settings an what VO navigation 
settings do you have? 
Many thanks.

Calendar Office 365 Web UI?

[Kevin Chao]

I’ve became quite productive with email in mail.o365 (web Office 365).


However, I find the Calendar UI to lack keyboard shortcuts, ARIA, and
accessibility.


What’s the tip or trick to using Calendar in Office 365 Web UI? With MacOS
and iOS VoiceOver?


Thanks!

Re: Configuring calendar alerts in IOS

[Donna Goodin]

Hi Jonathan,

Sorry for taking so long to answer this.  

Thanks also for the offer to write a script.  I think for now I'll just stick 
with things as they are.  As much as anything, it just kind of surprised me.  I 
mean, if you can set one default alert, it seems only logical that you should 
be able to set two.  But then I suppose there would be people who wanted three, 
four, etc. and I guess it has to stop somewhere.  :)
Cheers,
Donna

Re: Configuring calendar alerts in IOS

[Jonathan Cohn]

Yes, that appears to be correct. It appears that the Mac version could be 
scripted to add a e-mail alert 48 hours before the event if that is what you 
desire. So I could probably set something up that would scan all your messages 
in TempHome calendar, add a second notification, and move the calendar to the 
Home calendar. I don't believe it could be run automatically on new calendar 
events, but probably could get something to run every time you login to the Mac 
or on a semi regular basis while logged in.

It would be an interesting project.

Best wishes,

Jonathan

Hi Simon,

You can still do that.  I'd like to set up two default alert times, but it 
looks like you can only set up one.

Hi Donna,

 There used to be this feature in the calendar of the phone  in apple calendars

Hi all,

Is there a way to set up default behavior for calendar alerts?  For example, 
can I set it up so that I get one alert two days before, and a second alert an 
hour before any time I schedule a new event?

Re: Configuring calendar alerts in IOS

Hi donna,

If you go to settings.calendar?default alert times, you can set the primary 
time you will be alerted before an event. If you want to have a second alert, 
go into the calendar app itself, to the event, and you should be able to 
schedule a second one there.

Fighting iOS Calendar Spam

November 25, 2016

Tech Tip

By J. D. BIERSDORFER

Question:
I have been getting spam invitations to my iOS calendar recently. They come 
from Chinese accounts and their subjects are for super-discounted Ray-Bans and 
the like. Is there any solution to this?

Answer:
Many iCloud users have recently reported an influx of spam in the form of iOS 
calendar events and iCloud Photo Sharing invitations. While the delivery 
mechanism is different, the calendar and photo-sharing invitations traffic in 
the same old suspect offers for cheap goods as the junk mail and text messages 
that came before. Unlike those older forms of spam, which can be filtered, 
blocked or deleted, invitation spam usually offers Accept, Decline (or Maybe) 
as your options — all of which notify the spammer that your account is live and 
ready for more unsolicited offers.

While an Ignore button is currently not available so you can quietly bury these 
unwanted invitations, dedicated users have come up with least two workarounds 
for the calendar garbage. (For the junk photo-sharing offers, turning off the 
iCloud Photo Sharing feature in your iOS Photos & Camera or iCloud settings 
seems to be the only avoidance option at the moment.)

To ditch calendar spam you have already received, open the Calendar app, tap 
the Calendars button at the bottom of the screen and then tap the Edit button. 
On the next screen, select the Add Calendars option and give the new calendar a 
name like Spam, Junk or something therapeutically snarky. Tap the Done button 
at the top of the screen a few times until you arrive back on the Calendar 
screen.

Select the spam invitation and move it to the new calendar you just made, and 
then repeat the steps for all the unwanted invitations. When you are done, tap 
the Calendars button at the bottom of the screen. Tap the lowercase “i” icon 
next to the spam calendar, and on the next screen, swipe down and tap Delete 
Calendar to flush the added spam without responding to it.

To make the spam invitations go to your iCloud mail — where they can be 
filtered or deleted more easily — instead of going right to your calendar, log 
onto your iCloud account on the web. Open the Calendar app, click the 
gear-shaped Settings icon in the lower-left corner and choose Preferences. In 
the Preferences box, click the Advanced tab, and under Invitations, click the 
button to have all calendar invitations go to your email account instead of 
your calendar. Click the Save button before you leave the screen.

Subject: A Question About Spam Calendar Event Invitations

Hello Everyone,

Just so you know, I am cross-posting this email.

Earlier today, I received a calendar sales event invitation from an unknown 
sender.  Upon opening the invitation from within my iOS Calendar app, it was 
clear that this was a spammer as I could see the list of invitees all of which 
were just variations on a theme, for example b...@icloud.com, b...@icloud.com, 
etc.

The event invitation was promoting a weekend sale for sunglasses and the like.  
As a result, the event appeared across three different days, corresponding to 
the length of the event/sale; extremely annoying, to say the least.

The only buttons I could find upon which to act was either Accept button, the 
maybe button, and the decline button.

I did not want to activate any of these buttons as doing so would send a 
response to the sender, confirming the existence of my account.  

Try as I may, I could not discover anyway to simply delete the event 
invitation, itself, or the corresponding events from my Calendar, in iOS.  

Just so you know, When I activated the button that linked to the sender, whose 
account/email address consisted of Chinese characters, all I could do was to 
either add the sender to my Contacts List, share my location, etc.
There was no option to block the sender nor anyway to report the event 
invitation as spam.

Believe it or not, the most annoying thing, however, was not that the event was

Fighting iOS Calendar Spam

Q. I have been getting spam invitations to my iOS calendar recently. They come

the like. Is there any solution to this?

A. Many iCloud users have recently reported an influx of spam 
<https://9to5mac.com/2016/11/09/icloud-photo-sharing-and-calendar-spam/> in the 
form of iOS calendar events <https://support.apple.com/kb/ph2682?locale=en_US> 
and iCloud Photo Sharing <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202786> 
invitations. While the delivery mechanism is different, the calendar and 
photo-sharing invitations traffic in the same old suspect offers for cheap 
goods as the junk mail and text messages that came before. Unlike those older 
forms of spam, which can be filtered, blocked or deleted, invitation spam 
usually offers Accept, Decline (or Maybe) as your options — all of which notify 
the spammer that your account is live and ready for more unsolicited offers.

While an Ignore button is currently not available so you can quietly bury these 
unwanted invitations, dedicated users have come up with least two workarounds 
<http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/258424/spam-icloud-calendar-invitation>
 for the calendar garbage. (For the junk photo-sharing offers, turning off the 
iCloud Photo Sharing feature in your iOS Photos & Camera or iCloud settings 
<https://support.apple.com/kb/ph2613?locale=en_US> seems to be the only 
avoidance option at the moment.)

To ditch calendar spam 
<http://www.tomsguide.com/us/iphone-stop-icloud-calendar-spam,news-23829.html> 
you have already received, open the Calendar app, tap the Calendars button at 
the bottom of the screen and then tap the Edit button. On the next screen, 
select the Add Calendars option and give the new calendar a name like Spam, 
Junk or something therapeutically snarky. Tap the Done button at the top of the 
screen a few times until you arrive back on the Calendar screen.

Select the spam invitation and move it to the new calendar you just made, and 
then repeat the steps for all the unwanted invitations. When you are done, tap 
the Calendars button at the bottom of the screen. Tap the lowercase “i” icon

A Question About Spam Calendar Event Invitations

[M. Taylor]

Hello Everyone,

Just so you know, I am cross-posting this email.

Earlier today, I received a calendar sales event invitation from an unknown
sender.  Upon opening the invitation from within my iOS Calendar app, it was
clear that this was a spammer as I could see the list of invitees all of
which were just variations on a theme, for example b...@icloud.com,
b...@icloud.com, etc.

The event invitation was promoting a weekend sale for sunglasses and the
like.  As a result, the event appeared across three different days,
corresponding to the length of the event/sale; extremely annoying, to say
the least.

The only buttons I could find upon which to act was either Accept button,
the maybe button, and the decline button.

I did not want to activate any of these buttons as doing so would send a
response to the sender, confirming the existence of my account.  

Try as I may, I could not discover anyway to simply delete the event
invitation, itself, or the corresponding events from my Calendar, in iOS.  

Just so you know, When I activated the button that linked to the sender,
whose account/email address consisted of Chinese characters, all I could do
was to either add the sender to my Contacts List, share my location, etc.
There was no option to block the sender nor anyway to report the event
invitation as spam.

Believe it or not, the most annoying thing, however, was not that the event
was added to my Calendar, for the duration of the event, it was that it
showed as an event to which I needed to reply.  This means that the number 1
was constantly displayed on the Calendar's badge-app, icon.  

I called Apple Care but, after waiting on hold for what seemed like an
interminable length of time, I decided to go it alone.  

At first, I thought about firing up my Mac and seeing if I could discover a
way to delete the event from there.  However, to be honest, my luck with the
Mac OS Calendar application, has never been spectacular.  Add to that, the
fact that I was extremely angry at Apple for not providing some way to
delete an event invitation without having to select an option that would
alert the sender that any action on my part, had taken place.

My solution?  

I simply fired up a Windows 7 PC that has the iCloud Control Panel for
Windows installed, launched Microsoft Outlook 2007, located the offending
invitation, and hit the delete key on the keyboard.  Not including booting
up the PC and launching Outlook, the deletion process took less than 10
seconds.  

When next I looked at my iOS Calendar, the invitation, along with its
corresponding footprint, had been deleted, as expected.

Question:  Have any of you encountered spam Calendar event invitations?  If
so, how did you handle it?  Were you able to delete the invitation without
activating the Accept, Maybe, or Decline buttons?   

The only thing I wish I had attempted, before resorting to my beloved
Windows PC, was to have explored the iCloud.com website to see if, perhaps
there may have been a delete button somewhere that would have accomplished
my goal.

I look forward to your replies,

Mark

Re: calendar app on i phone

[David Chittenden]

Go to the top left of the display and locate the back button. One right flick, 
or explore to the right, to locate the list button. It is probably selected. 
Double-tap to unselect it. This unlocks the month view.
Double-tap on the current date after locating it via exploring the display.
Find the list button and double-tap to select it (if not already selected). The 
desired view should now be on the display.

Kind regards,

calendar app on i phone

[Caitlyn Furness]

Hi,
I am trying to help my husband with his i phone.  He’s having trouble with the 
calendar app.

Basically, we want all his appointments to be displayed in a list, with the 
date as a heading and the vents underneath that.  Right now, he’s getting the 
days of the month, and it says “one vent, etc”, if the day has an event, but he 
has to double tap on the day to see the events.

Now, my calendar is set up the way we want, but since I did that ages ago, I 
can’t work out how to get his to do the same thing..

Help!

Thanks,
Caitlyn

For me, there’s always been a .ics file attachment. If I open that attachment, 
it adds the event to Calendar and from there I can accept or decline.

Re: Is there any way to accept an Outlook Calendar invitation in Mail?

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

Some time ago, I sent a calendar invite to my Flute Teacher for to add lessons 
to her calendar but I never got a acceptance back and I wondered why so now 
after this conversation, I am to conclude that window and mac users can’t send 
each other a calendar invite?  My flute teacher does not have an exchange 
account, just an outlook account.

I read Mark’s article that he sent, but I’m more confused now!
I’ve had a long day at work so I’m not sure what Mark’s article is trying to 
convey.

Thanks.

Kawal.

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

Well, I was hoping that the attachment would just be an ICS file, which would 
then open in Calendar.  Can’t imagine why this wouldn’t work.

Anyway, yeah, really what you want is Mail’s sanctioned banner notification.  
Perhaps you’ve found that now.  Also be aware that Exchange doesn’t follow the 
usual rules for email servers (naturally, this is Microsoft) so there is much 
deeper integration going on there for the collaboration stuff.

Re: Is there any way to accept an Outlook Calendar invitation in Mail?

[Donna Goodin]

That calendar banner was exactly what I was looking for, but I didn't see it.  
I don't have the calendar invite any longer, but I'll send myself an invite via 
my exchange account and give it another try.

Re: Is there any way to accept an Outlook Calendar invitation in Mail?

[Donna Goodin]

Interesting.  So it sounds like had I just added it to Calendar, it would have 
notified the other parties of my acceptance.  I still think I'll give it a try 
on an unimportant event, before assuming that that works. :)

thanks Mark for finding this article.  When I wrote to the list, I just figured 
there was something obvious that I had somehow missed.  Nice to know that 
wasn't the case.
Cheers,
Donna

There's an object called "Calendar banner" that appears in the user interface
when you view the message in Apple Mail. If you interact with it, you can then
find the controls that will enable you to accept the invitation.

If you have an Apple iOS device, you can accept invitations there as well.

[Simon Fogarty]

Does the invite not actually show up in your mail client as an email / alert 
and then you click accept or decline via the email, if you accept it then gets 
added to your calendar?

I know that's how things will work through outlook on a windows machine via 
exchange.

RE: Is there any way to accept an Outlook Calendar invitation in Mail?

[M. Taylor]

Hello Donna,

I just performed a quick search for you and came up with the following article 
that I will paste in this post.  The URL to the article is located at the end 
of the text.

Given that Outlook is the primary client of choice for mainstream business 
users, I am certain it is possible to accept an Outlook invitation from within 
OS X El Capitan Mail.  It’s just a matter of discovering how it is done.  

Mark

Mail (El Capitan): Add events, contacts, and more from messages

Add events, contacts, and more from messages in Mail

When you receive emails that include invitations, dates and times, addresses, 
phone numbers, or other types of information, you can use that information in 
other apps, such as Calendar or Contacts. For example, Mail can detect dates 
and times in a message and suggest an event to add to your calendar. 

Add events to Calendar

You can add events and invitations you receive in messages to the Calendar app. 
If you have an Exchange account, you can reply to invitations sent from 
Calendar, Outlook, or Outlook Web Access. 

Accept a Mail suggestion: Click Add (you can review the suggested event before 
adding it to Calendar). To decline the suggestion, click the close button . 

Add events yourself: Move the pointer over a date or time anywhere in a message 
until an outline appears around the information. Click the arrow, then click 
Add to Calendar (shown only if you have already set up an account in Calendar). 

Add events for an Exchange account: In the banner at the top of the message 
containing the invitation, click Accept, Decline, or Maybe. If the event is 
being canceled, click OK. To view the invitation in Calendar, click the 
Calendar button in the banner. 

Mail sends your reply to the event organizer and updates your calendar on the 
Exchange server and in Calendar, when it syncs with the server. 

Have Mail add events for you: Choose Mail > Preferences, click General, click 
the “Add invitations to Calendar” pop-up menu, then choose Automatically. 

Add information to Contacts

When you read messages, you can add email addresses and other contact 
information to the Contacts app.

Accept a Mail suggestion: Click Add (you can review the suggested information 
before adding it to Contacts). To decline the suggestion, click the close 
button . 

Add contacts yourself: Move the pointer over a phone number, email address, or 
street address anywhere in the text. Mail outlines the information; click the 
arrow, then choose an option from the pop-up menu. Or simply force click the 
outlined information. 

Add a contact from a Smart Address: Move the pointer over the Smart Address, 
click the arrow that appears, then choose Add to Contacts. 

Add a contact from the message list: Select a message in the list, then choose 
Message > Add Sender to Contacts. 

Add passes to Wallet

The Wallet app on your iPhone or iPod touch (with iOS 6 or later) lets you 
store “Wallet passes” such as boarding passes, coupons, movie tickets, and so 
on. When you receive a Wallet pass in Mail, you can add it to Wallet on your 
iPhone or iPod touch. The pass is also added to Wallet on Apple Watch, if 
Mirror iPhone is on in the Apple Watch app.

Hi Donna and Kawal,

I feel like we’re having a mini mobile speak reunion here. :). For me, when I 
open calendar, interact with the day, and then press VO space on the event, the 
very last item is a pop up menu where I can select accept, decline, or maybe.

Any attachments in the message?  Maybe if you could merge iCalendar events.

One would think, but I saw no way to accept the invite.

Can’t you just accept an invite regardless if you are sending from Windows or 
Mac?  I’m fine thank you.

Re: Is there any way to accept an Outlook Calendar invitation in Mail?

[Kawal Gucukoglu]

Hello Donna.

Hope you are doing well.  When you make an appointment in Calendar there is 
something which says invite invitees.  So press that button and see what it 
does.  If you are in Windows it says send an invite, something like that but am 
not sure as I don’t do it much at work.

Hope this is helpful.  If this is not correct, please let me know and I’ll make 
an calendar appointment and see if I can find the correct button.

Thank you.

Kawal.

Re: Mac Calendar & iCloud

[Marc]

I am not 100% sure exactly what I did to make this happen but here are some 
of the steps I took. Sorry, I cannot remember the exact order in which I 
performed them.

 

I signed out of iCloud on both the Mac and the iPhone

I removed my Apple ID from the family sharing that I was a part of

I signed back into iCloud on both devices

I had my wife invite me back into the family sharing group

 

I followed somebody’s advice that said to close the calendar event after I 
had created it. To do this is not so obvious. For example, here’s what I 
did:

 

Command N to create a new event

Name the event and add the date and time followed by Enter

Adjust the details and VO right arrow to the show button and VO space Bar

At this point, the calendar event disappears and you are back on the 
calendar

However, you still need to press command accent to switch windows within 
the application to find the calendar event dialogue

Now press command W to actually close the event dialogue 

 

Now I can create new events on the Mac calendar and they appear on the Mac, 
the iPhone, iCloud, and Google calendar online. It worked for both my 
“home” iCloud calendar and the family shared calendar. I haven’t gotten 
around to trying to see how important it is to actually close the calendar 
event dialogue as described above. 

 

Hopefully this helps out somebody else in the future.

Re: Mac Calendar & iCloud

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

I had this problem, too, until I learned to press the close button in the 
calendar appointment.

Until you do that, the change is not submitted to the server.  Yes, even if it 
shows up in the flaming list as booked.  Even if you quit and restart Calendar, 
and it continues to show.

Here’s something you should know: the client is responsible for interpreting 
the iCalendar document.  The file is picked up from the server and interpreted 
locally.  So anything you see locally is law.  Doesn’t matter what some other 
client says.  Relying on some other client to provide an accurate description
