Can't select snooze time in ical events

I just bought the brand-new Macbook with OS X 19.9.4, and did update everything possible.

Still I came here because I DO have this problem, so this threat is by no means solved since over 2 years !

Your wrong answer makes me wonder if you either din't bother to check for yourself, or are employed by Apple.

It is even documented in Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_(Mac_OS)#Removed_2 that the

"Ability to select variable snooze durations [is removed in Ical]. Only 15 minute snooze available."

That is a sad sign of negligence for "the largest publicly traded corporation in the world by market capitalization,

with an estimated market capitalization of $446 billion"

Mac 101

Thanks; I did search in there for "calendar", "ical", and/or "snooze", but again only this solution came up:

Calendar: Repeat an event alert which states:

"When an alert appears for a Calendar event (in Notification Center), you can dismiss it or have it remind you again later.
In the alert, click Snooze. The alert reappears in fifteen minutes."

So yet again we are on square one, and yet again it is confirmed that there is only one fixed 15 minutes snooze alarm possible in ical.

Except this is not "solved". Yes Apple DID update things to add in a few different options to snooze the alerts. But not anything like what it used to be. They need to give that old ability back! And, yes, I HAVE submitted feedback to them numerous times for this.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Apple will NEVER, NEVER, NEVER put back a feature that they removed. It would be admitting that they made a mistake, that they didn't know what they were doing. They have become Microsoft of the 1990's unfortunately.

I do not understand why this thread continues. variable snooze is right there. i use it ALL THE TIME. apple fixed this a long long time ago.

the only difference is that if you set an alert for your event b4 the event, you cannot snooze past the event. once the event occurs, you can again snooze for minutes, hours or days. you just hold down the button and select from the drop down menu. if holding down the snooze button is NOT giving you a drop down menu then something is wrong. Test it using an alert One Day Before. you should get options to snooze for various minutes and hours or "until start time" "until end time". your options will diminish the closer you get to your event. once the event happens, you can snooze again for hours or days.

sure its different implementation, but it sort of makes sense that you should not want to snooze past the actual start time, and maybe a lot of people were doing this accidentally.

The thread continues because it is NOT fixed. There is no drop down menu in the "Snooze" button in the alert that pops up in the upper right of the screen, no matter how far out the event is or whether it passed or not.

Click and hold on the snooze button. Relax.

I've tried that on all different types of alerts and there is never a drop-down that appears.

(Re-) Install Yosemite.

I'm running ML and this is a ML thread.

Well, then. In my comment the parenthetical "(Re)" should be ignored.

So the point remains that in ML there is no variable snooze feature available. And to me, and the hundreds of other posters across numerous threads, that is a huge f-up on the part of Apple. Its one more example of how they continue to remove/change features in perfectly functioning apps for the sake of change. As I mentioned previously, they have adopted the Microsoft approach of the 1990's.

Well, yeah, if you don't count the system updates after ML, then of course its still not working. It seems to be an odd point, since they fixed it in subsequent system updates. That sort of proves they listened.
