Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

iCAL Alarm Defaults

Environment:
MacBook Pros, all 10.6.3
Google Apps Calendars

Assistant is connected to her own calendar, the CEO and the CFO's calendars.

When assistant creates a new calendar item on her calendar, the alarm defaults to "Message with Sound" 15 minutes before the meeting, however when she creates a calendar item on either the CEO or CFO's account, it defaults to the following:
-Email : assistant's email address, 10 minutes before
-Message: 10 minutes before
-Message w/ sound: 15 minutes before

I have checked the CEO and CFO's iCAL settings and the only thing set is the 15 minute alarm for all new events. I can not find where to disable the "Email" and "Message" alarms, and/or where to change it from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. The assistant does not need to get an alarm for the CEO or CFO's calendars.

I have looked for a solution through the Apple Forums and through Google and can not find a solution.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Hi,

I suggest you take a look a the Google Calendar online and check the reminders preferences there. In my Google Calendar (not using Google Apps) it's under Settings menu > +Calendar Settings+ menu item > Calendars tab > Notifications link (for the calendar you are interested in) > +Event reminders+ section.

Let us know how you get on.

Best wishes
