Hi Byron, I was thinking too that it might be the default alarm settings in iCal that made those double alarms, but the thing is that the default alarm in iCal is set 15 minutes before the event and my double alarms all show up 10 minutes before (which is the default setting in gCal).
To explain a bit better my problem, I tried the following use cases this morning : 1- default alarm in iCal off, default alarm in gCal off : - an event created in gCal turns up in iCal after synchronization with a pop-up alarm 10 minutes before the event - an event created in iCal turns up in gCal after synchronization with no alarm 2- default alarm in iCal on (15 minutes before, pop-up), default alarm in gCal off : - an event created in gCal turns up in iCal after synchronization with a pop-up alarm 10 minutes before the event - an event created in iCal turns up in gCal after synchronization with a pop-up alarm 15 minutes before the event 3- default alarm in iCal off, default alarm in gCal on (10 minutes before, pop-up) : - an event created in gCal turns up in iCal after synchronization with two pop-up alarms 10 minutes before the event - an event created in iCal turns up in gCal after synchronization with no alarm 4- default alarm in iCal on (15 minutes before, pop-up), default alarm in gCal on (10 minutes before, pop-up) : - an event created in gCal turns up in iCal after synchronization with two pop-up alarms 10 minutes before the event - an event created in iCal turns up in gCal after synchronization with a pop-up alarm 15 minutes before the event As you see from my tests, the synchronization from gCal to iCal systematically adds an alarm 10 minutes before the event. Is there a hidden default alarm setting somewhere? I have turned on alarm synching in Spanning Sync, but it seems to me that it only regards synchronization from iCal to gCal. Can anyone confirm this?
