    Reminders not sounding or showing on screen

    I've set up a *daily* reminder on my iPhone. It transferred successfully to my watch. I shut down my iPhone. It's usually off as I rarely use it. At the right time, the alarm sounded on my watch and the reminder appeared on the screen. Fine! Thought all was working. Next day, the...

    Calendar notifications disappear due to sleep

    This is new. My Calendar alerts are gone whenever I wake the Mac from sleep. This is pretty bad for me since I often set Calendar (all day) alerts for my most important to-dos of the day as well as appointments. Has anyone seen that behaviour before? Settings are set to alerts and I'm on 12.5.1.

    Reminders app: What time is "tonight"?

    I am new to Monterey as I've just upgraded from Sierra. I noticed that reminders alerts now have to option to "Remind Me Tonight". But what is "tonight"? Can I change what "tonight" means for me anywhere?

    Calendar Automatically Adding 1 Day Before Alerts

    For example, I’ll create an event with a 15-minute alert. But then a second 1-day alert will automatically be added later on. If I edit the event(s) and remove the alert, it automatically gets added back. Any idea why this is happening?

    iPhone Looking for Family Urgent / Emergency Alert App

    Hi, I'm looking at coming off Android to iPhone. I used to have an app that if a keyword was SMS'd in, my phone would wake up, and play a continuous alert sound even if the volume was down or DND was enabled - and the sound would repeat continuously until I acknowledged the alert. It was very...

    Was updating my Apple Watch to the latest firmware and left it on the charger while I did something else in the house. I unlocked my iPhone but automatically just pressed the ok button on the alert. I kind of remember it saying something about 30-60-90 seconds or something. I’m assuming it’s...

    I'm running High Sierra, but in the past few days I've noticed no alert sound when an email comes in. The swoosh-at-send is audible, but that's about it. Any fixes?

It seems fairly important that if you accept an invite to an event, that you actually show up...and for me that means an alert...
