Unchecked Calendars still show events in Notification Center

Well I'm one of the guilty ones that I'm ashamed to say has complained about this for ages in threads but neglected to do anything about it via Apple feedback.

I am happy to report that enough is enough and I have just done so.

I hope any previous or new posters to this thread follow suit from now on and send in feedback.

We can't keep relying on other people to take action!

It took me all of 2 mins to fill in the feedback form, so there are no excuses like my previous tardiness.

I'm even including the link again below so all you've got to do after reading this is click and feel better about yourself 🙂

I have the same problem, along with other people in this discussion thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3390836?start=0&tstart=0

it seems it is oficially a bug

I'm seeing this too. I use Google Calendar over exchange. No matter which calendars you hide in the 'Calendar' app, you see events from all your mobile subscriptions in the calendar widget in the notification center.

The way I have worked around it for now is that I went to http://m.google.com/sync and unchecked the sync box for all the calendars except my own. This doesn't unsubscribe me from seeing them on the web, just unsubscribes my phone from seeing them.

It's not ideal because it's convenient to be able to look at my co-worker's calendars on my phone, but it's a workaround for now until Google or Apple fixes this.

I'm having the same issue--calendars turned off on my iPhone (even in iCal on my MacBook Pro) are showing up in the Notifications Center. But, I'm not even using Google Calendars, or have any shared calendars--just iCal and MobileMe. An obvious oversight, I'd say...

I'm having similar problems with the notification center except I have duplicate entries. On the calander app I have only selected the icloud calenders. In the calander app all is as i would expect. However in notification center one calander is showing duplicates but the others are okay??????

I find that by entering notification center and clicking on a calander event that appear to turn on thecalanders from my mac when i only want icloud calanders. Once the dupilcate is on my iphone the duplicate entries work thier way through icloud and back to my mac. I then have to go back into the setting on my iphone calander and turn off all the mac calanders, thus correcting everything on icloud and my mac.

Notification center appears to have a glitch, or I'm just being stupid.

I tried turning off all calanders on my iphone. Entered notification center and there were still calander entries showing. If I click on an entry it takes me to the calander app and the entry is in there. I then look to see what calanders are showing and it appears to have turned on the clanader for which the entry was made. As nearly all my entries were made on my mac I can see this being a reoccuring theme.

I thougt that I was going mad! I hope they make a quick update as it is an every day problem.

Check your events of the day.... click one one, and make a multiple copy and swicth your local calendars back on!

Please, a quick update within an app or "something" an nobody would notice.

This has been a problem since they first developed the notification center in iOS 5 beta. It was infrequently brought up in the dev forums but I guess for some reason was never formally addressed. Hopefully with all of this talk, they'll come out with a quick update. It seems like a simple enough fix to have check boxes to select which calendars you'd want displayed.

My phone was doing this as well, I figured it was because my phone had already had my calendars synced to itunes and when it updated the phone to iOS5 it saved those on top of what icloud was doing. The glitch that appears to happen is that itunes then thinks icloud is doing everything and therefore says itunes calendar sync is off. What I tried to fix this situation was sync calendars with itunes, it gives you a message trying to stop you but if you carry on it will sync then you will have two copies of iTunes calendars and one copy of iCloud. Then what you do next is tell itunes you dont want to sync with iTunes calendars and it will ask if you want to delete the calendars. It will delete all previous itunes synced calendars. Say yes and you'll only have iCloud Calendars (one set of events). Hope this helps.🙂

There's no way they're unaware, blissfully or otherwise. A ton of us have reported this via feedback, and I have to imagine at least some of the developers or whoever are using iPhones and have seen this for themselves. Which means it's either a bigger issue to fix than we think it should be, or for some reason, they don't think it's a high priority to address.

I love Apple and their products, but their resolute silence is so incredibly frustrating. With the way they don't address or acknowledge anyone's concerns, ever (until they're fixed), it's a wonder any of us have stuck around. Maybe it's policy, but it's also horrendous, arrogant customer service.

(This calendar notification thing really riles me up 🙂 )

Frustrating that now as we are at iOS 5.1.1 there is still no fix for the issue. I called Apple a little while back and the representitive made a mention as to that this was a 'feature' of the notification center and not a bug. I think 'features' are supposed to make for better usability, not an inability to use a function. With that said.. any workarounds? Right now, I'm doing the following: My brother and my wife both share their calendars with me, iCloud to iCloud. I started two iCloud accounts, one for the intended purpose of iCloud (syncing all of my calendar events, contacts, etc.) and one simply for their calendars to be shared to. I've included that iCloud account only on my iPad and turned off calendars in the notification center on the iPad. So if I want to see their calendars I can now use my iPad for that purpose.

Please also send a bug report to Apple if this issue is bothering you --- discussion forums are just that, for discussion.

Thanks for any advice you can provide about the above and for any other work-arounds!

I'm not sure if this contrivene's NDA, but since its Apple's forum and in the interests of satisfying Apple customers (which can only be a good thing), I just noticed an additonal switch in iOS6 where-by you can turn on or off "Shared Calendar Alerts" :-)

I did take a screen-shot to post, but I decided that might be going too far.

I wish it didn't have to be optimism, and it would go back to "things just work with Apple products." although they make some pretty great products, I'm seeing greater issues in their newer products overall.. Battery life trouble with Mountain Lion, difficulty with iPhone 4s battery, glitchy software... This seems like a small detail (to fix calendar settings) but that was the beauty of Apple.. The attn to small details.....

Here's to being optimistic...

These things kind of things can get fixed if we bring them to Apple's attention.

I'm seeing the same thing. Played around but found no obvious way to stop this from happening. Happens with call calendars I have (google, exchange, local, etc)
