Turn off shared calendar alerts; Mac 2012; Catalina

Hello,


When I right click and select Get Info on a calendar shared with me, I can check/uncheck the Ignore Alerts button. However, it doesn't matter if the box is checked or unchecked. I am still getting Alerts from the shared calendar.


Please advise.


Thank you,

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Hey MarekBogiem,


Thanks for those screenshots. In the Calendar app, choose Calendar from the menu bar and then Preferences > Alerts choose the drop-down for the calendar these events are being created on, then look at the default alerts. What is set here? If nothing, do you sync this calendar with more than one device?


Here's some information about this: Change Alerts preferences in Calendar on Mac


We look forward to hearing back.

Greetings MarekBogiem,


For help mangling alerts on your calendars, follow the guidance found here:


Keep track of events in Calendar on iPhone - Apple Support


"Turn on customized notifications for specific calendar events

After customizing your calendar notifications, you can choose if you want these notifications to appear for various types of events.

  1. Scroll down and tap Customize Notifications.
  2. Turn the specific customized notifications on or off."


Take care.

Hi Dustin,


Thank you for the help.

I do not have an issue with Notifications.

I'd like to stop receiving alerts from a calendar that is shared with me.

Please see the attached screenshots. I have checked the box that says ignore alerts. However, I still am alerted when my fiancé adds something to her calendar. It's not showing up as a notification. It's showing up as an alert.


Please advise. Thank you.
