How to strip alerts from a downloaded calendar? - Gutenberg - 06-17-2011
I downloaded the Orioles' schedule from MLB.com. On my iPhone it has an annoying alarm for EVERY SINGLE #%€£?! GAME. Not only that, but the alarm sounds twice. Since the events don't repeat, I can't strip the alerts that way. I don't want to stop alarms on my other calendars. Is there any way to strip the alerts from just the MLB schedule? Thanks, Gutie

you using ical to subscribe to the calendar, I assume?
Re: How to strip alerts from a downloaded calendar? - Gutenberg - 06-17-2011
Thanks. I guess I have a different version of iCal, because my choices are "Ignore Alarms" and "Events affect availability." Checking "Ignore alarms" does not make a difference. My iPhone still beeps to remind me that Baltimore will be playing the Nats at 7 p.m. tonight.
I am running Snow Leopard and my iCal version is 4.04.

hmmm. I'm running 10.6 and ical 4.04 as well. Since making the change (i.e. ignore alarms), did you re-sync your iphone?

No. I will try that. Thanks!

I would delete all of the entries and use the subscribe to function in iCal using the URL from MLB. Then you get the window shown in Clay's post. I have done this and set it to update daily. Neat thing with this is that it updates played games with the final score.

Got it! Clay, thanks, and thanks macphanatic--I had downloaded the calendar, not subscribed to it. I deleted, subscribed and my sanity is restored. Plus I get past scores, which is depressing but not as depressing as last year! Thank you both.
Cheers, Gutie

"It just works" is the Apple way.
Or so I've heard.
