How do you snooze calendar notifications more than the default 5 min?
In Catalina, you could long-press the Snooze button and get a choice as to how long the notification was snoozed. I tried it in Big Sur and I don't get the list.
iMac 27″, macOS 10.13
No, the manual just says that if the notification has the Options button, click Options then click Snooze. There is no option to long-press Snooze to get different snooze durations. They used to have long-pressing Snooze to get different durations in the Calendar documentation for Big Sur, but they changed the documentation shortly after 11.1 was released. They have removed references to long-pressing which tells you that it isn't a bug; they actually removed the ability to get different snooze durations. Do NOT expect to see it come back with the next release. If you want to see that ability to come back, file Feedback with Apple as they do not check this forum. This forum is strictly user-to-user support. Here is where you can file Feedback: https://www.apple.com/feedback/calendar.html
They clearly thought about it but instead of bringing it back as before have, for some unknown reason, decided to omit the 2 hour option. I wonder why.
Reinstating the original was far too simple for them.
I set up a test calendar notification for tomorrow, but can someone who knows about snooze options in Big Sur 11.5 let me know what options they have restored? And is it as it was to access the options…holding down the mouse or trackpad?
It's a start, but what about the other options that were so useful for planning purposes? A common situation for me is a reminder to make an airline reservation for an event a few months away. When a notification pops up 4 weeks in advance I might need to wait until the following day in order to have adequate time. The snooze for one day option was perfect. Given the new options, I would need to snooze it every hour for the next 24 hours. The "2 hours before" setting was also useful for prepping for a meeting. With the old settings, I could easily snooze it for a day. It seems as though Apple has never heard of the old adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Amen. The two hour option was perfect for reminding you to get dressed and pack your briefcase to drive to a meeting across town. The one day and one week snooze options were perfect for longer-term events like booking a flight or starting a project. Sad.
I'd prefer to have the old options back but at least I'm not going to have to be continuously irritated because of that reminder popping up over and over and over again. I had started setting up the reminders in my calendar so I think I'm going to end up doing both now.
Still very dissatisfactory! Please keep sending feedback directly to Apple... everyday! https://www.apple.com/feedback/calendar.html
I remember when Apple was something to be in awe of for its user friendliness and efficiency, but now, "for me/ in my opinion" (quotes added for Idris Seabright's benefit) it STINKS: it has the worst apps in the world for Calendar (Notifications), Contacts (Notes) and Messaging (forwarding, deleting before recipient reads it, etc). I've never used Mail because of its inefficiencies -- and now I've to contend with the .HEIC format in Photos when sharing images. I could make writing feedbacks to Apple a full time job...
to sword 19 -- I use GMAIL (Google Mail) -- you can chose it as your default and copy all the information now in Mail to GMAIL (that will not erase what is in Mail.). You can also set it so any other email addresses you have, be it gmail or other, go to the same inbox, etc. So although all my emails, old and new, appear also in "Mail," I do not access them in Mail at all. You can authorize Gmail to access your Apple contacts and this way you don't need to duplicate entries, or you can enter them in Google Contacts, too. Your choice. As you become more proficient in using Gmail you will find out that it offers many more features that Mail does not. Its "search" function is far superior than Mail's.
Why would Apple discontinue suchg a useful feature? It doesn't make sense. The 15 minute option is only useful if you only want to snooze a reminder for 15 minutes, otherwise it's maddening having it come up every 15 minutes. Anyone know if Google Calendar has the same snooze option Ical used to have?
Amen! I remember when mobile me came out and it was amazing like google drive before google drive existed then it got scrapped . Apple could have really capitalised on that. And then iWeb... so great now we have wix
Sorry but even though your first link applies to Big Sur and states that long-pressing the Snooze button offers a list of choice, this just doesn't work.
This change is ridiculous. Bring back the options, Apple!!!!!!!!!!!
This should be a very easy fix by Apple! Hard to believe it hasn't already been accomplished as many people aren't happy happy with the snooze function.
How do you do that though??
ya! it is a pain in the butt DUHHHH!
I've tried it over and over too. If I don't have that option I'll probably miss half of my appointments. I started using Alexa for it when I'm home.
