Calendar notification snooze in Big Sur?

Totally agree to all of your posts...

Same here, this situation is unbearable and to be honest it's kind of ridiculous keeping in mind that we all are running a product provided by one of the most visionary and innovative technology leader of the 21st century.

Apple, please listen to your customers and the community... Take it up and fix it!

Thx!

I, too, have submitted feedback requesting a restoration of the variable snooze time. I encourage everyone to submit such feedback. Like someone else, I wasn't sure whether to post it as a "bug" or "feature request" or some other type of report, but "bug" seemed like it might be best.

In the past, I've often set multiple alerts. For instance, if I have a dental appointment in 6 months, I set one alert for one week before, one for one day before, one for 15 hours before, and one for 2 hours before. In the past, I've always just snoozed for an appropriate time, never just dismissing the alert. But maybe this is a workaround for our problem: set up the multiple alerts. Then, when the first one appears, let's say it's the "one week out" alert, I dismiss it. Will the "one day out" alert appear one day out? I'll try that and if it works, I'll repost this potential workaround.

Indeed. Even just explaining it that way gives me headache... I couldn't fathom setting up multiple alerts for a single iCal event. I agree its a work around maybe for the most important alerts and a good solution... but again... this comes back to just how dumbfounded I am Apple could have missed this in Big Sir. Also, dumbfounded just by how something so simple we all have used... is now effectively missing... and causing an actual real daily problem to mainging time. Its so strange in a way! Who would have thought. After using the features of snooze and choosing your times to manage yourself and how the alerts work... its such a small, abeit importnt part of my day. And now I'm just super frustrated it isn't working! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh LOL

But let's be honest about this workaround. It relies on you knowing in advance how much of a 'snooze' between alerts that you will need AND remembering not to just dismiss the final alert (thinking there's another one coming). The multi-time option snooze was excellent, because I often would only know how long I wanted to snooze for based on what I was doing when the alert popped up. A regular alert could pop up and sometimes snoozing for just a few minutes was ideal, whereas on other occasions, I'd want to snooze for a few hours.

I'm not knocking the idea of temporary workarounds, but let's not let Apple off the hook thinking we'll just work around their crappy decision to remove an important feature from Calendar.

If I had known I would lose my Snooze notification timer I would not have downloaded Big SUR. The thing goes off constantly every 5 minutes as I have a lot of appointments. I'm spending half my time snoozing. Please send a fix for this and while you are at it fix the email. I have three email accounts for my business and personal it is a jungle to get through.

This Calendar makes me regret having upgraded to Big sur. A 5 minute pop up and that's it. Pop ups all over my screen. Had to disable. Very bad move Apple and the guy that came up with this should be fired

It is SO RIDICULOUS that Apple changes all these USEFUL features at random! They did same thing with Mail in Catalina by removing all the columns! Glad that was restored in Big Sur. I hope they restore these useful Snooze options ASAP in the next patch. I just cannot imaging who in the right mind would think of removing such features when it has been around for years!!

I totally agree @Teuchter867. I had to do it because Mail was TOTALLY messed up in Catalina! I wish I had gone back to Mojave but then you would be so far behind. I hope they fix this ASAP. I am definitely NOT going to jump to next OS so quickly!!

Come on Apple - FIX this calendar ASAP.

Very true @acancell2. It is a big loss of daily workflow :-(. Thanks for that link. I will fill that out also. Everyone who is frustrated should fill that out & inundate them with messages. Hope they bring all those back ASAP in 11.3.

I’ve also went to the Apple link a few times to voice my complaint. Not to mention actually calling them. It’s to no avail. I know they hear us. Just refuse to comply. New update last night. Waiting patiently!!!

Unacceptable! Just found out at Mojave, that a Click and holding ist offers that, what I used in former versions and what changed to this behaviour.

I was lucky, because this is the only logical thing, to tell the system, if and when it should happen to remind me again.

The a jump to Big Sur (because of the purchase of an M1 Mac Mini)

WTF????

Why, why do apple want to rule their user in this unlogical way.

WE WANT OUR REMINDER OPTIONS BACK!

Unbelievable.

Hi madshen, I suspect things like the 1 day option will be there, as they were before, because with the old snooze you only got offered options for snooze lengths that would happen 'before' the actual event happened. In the example you shared, the event is 'Today at 10:30 AM' so you cannot snooze it for 1 day, as that would take the snooze past the time of the event itself. Does that make sense?

Hi Phil, as I remember snooze past event time was possible with Catalina and before that. The event could be "Call friend". When it comes up I want to wait but not forget., Here snooze for 1 day comes in handy.

Exactly madshen - those features where you could snooze "5 mins before", "1 min before", etc. were extremely useful. Not sure why Apple keeps deleting comments that mention anything about the new version. VERY SAD to lose those useful features :-(. I hope they bring it back ASAP.

Weird, but if we can that's great. I certainly recall with Catalina that the 'options' for how long I could snooze weren't always the same and didn't always include the longer snooze options like 1 day or 1 week. I presumed that was based on how far in advance the actual event was, but maybe there's something else that affected these options.
