Calendar notification snooze in Big Sur?

In the meantime while we wait for them to fix the issue, you can open to the Calendar App, and from the drop down menu go to:

Calendar > Preferences

then under the "Alerts" tab, select "None" for the events that have been clogging up your notifications.

Imperfect fix, but it will stop you from being repeatedly interrupted.

This has to be a software glitch. Why would they remove the snooze option and think it was an improvement ?

The option needs to be reinstalled in an update.

Not anymore, because they were STUPID enough to remove the 5-Minute reminders!!!! Not only they removed ALL of the snooze options on iCal, but THEY ALSO REMOVED THE 5-MINUTE REMINDERS ON REMINDERS!!!! Thanks god there is still some options to snooze reminders on the "Reminders" app unlike the "iCal" app!

Based on what happened here with iCal in Big Sur and what happened with Mail on the Catalina release, I have a feeling they put trainees on some of these app upgrades. They really need better oversight, and to keep some of these people on a shorter leash!

@Sortly, that makes a lot of sense, and that hadn't immediately occurred to me. It would seem natural that Big Sur unifies Calendar with iPadOS using Catalyst. That being said, I would not expect Apple to address this until a future large development cycle because it affects both platforms, and it will have to be a release where the iPadOS and macOS release dates coincide. That being said, I would not expect the Snooze issue to be resolved until macOS 12 (and that's assuming our pleas sufficiently motivate them).

Unfortunately, this feature isn't included in Big Sur, which I consider a major blunder for Apple. I just confirmed with Apple Support and they know of no plans to reinstate this feature, so we all need to complain and complain loudly. Reinstate the different time options for Calendar notifications!

Everything crossed that I don't have to go through the hideous mess of reinstalling Catalina.

What it means is that this was not something that was a thoughtless little "oopsie", something that can be fixed with a simple flip of a switch to bring back the feature, or cut and paste a few lines of code. It means that some actual, deliberate thought (twisted or uninformed, perhaps, and done without consulting anyone with real familiarity how people actually use their product) went into the change. So, it was probably something done with repercussions throughout the code base, maybe because it made some things easier for the coder to deal with in the implementation of a larger code change, maybe for another reason. But it was a relatively involved thing. So, now that they're seeing they made a mistake (*if* they're seeing and understanding that), they need to not just undo what they did. If it really was part of another more involved change that this was just a side-effect of, they have to figure out how to bring back the desired feature AND keep whatever code structure they were putting in place. In other words, they have to do the much harder work of undoing their screw-up while keeping the other stuff that went along with it.

In short: Don't hold your breath. When the Mac OS removed the simple, one-click column sorting features of Mail in the Catalina release (another prime example of a thoughtless removal of functionality), it took another major OS release, Big Sur, to bring it back. And even then, it wasn't exactly as it had been before.

I can't believe we still have some developers utopian version of what he feels is a reasonable snooze time. I have fixed appointments that the built-in snooze is fine for, but then I have flex appointments ALL THE TIME that I want to snooze for an hour or a day or a week.

Despite what the dev team thinks, why would you even take this away? What did you save by doing so? Did it save precious bandwidth? No. Did it save confusion? No. Did it force MANY users to have to figure out a new way to manage their calendar because of your limited view of how the world works? Yes.

Put back snooze for 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 1 day and 1 week. Just do it already.

With each new release of MacOS it becomes harder and harder to justify upgrading. Sure, you get some new cool toys to play with but they inevitably break something that you need or like. And this one was just ridiculous and makes zero sense whatsoever for why it was removed.

Apple is starting to act more like Microsoft and just willy-nilly does stuff and doesn't give a single crap about what the users think or want, just what the developers think they need and want.

And yes, I posted on the feedback site, not that anyone will actually read or do anything with the request. Again, Microsoft.

You have to fix this. I have YEARS worth of recurring alerts and this is DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!

Thanks. I just submitted feedback. see what happen ✌🏻

'REMINDERS' give you better options for snooze than the current Calendar! .. Guess the Reminder programmer had more lateral thinking for the end users!
