calendar alerts don't have snooze

Carlo TD--

Thanks for your reply, but I don't understand your answer. I have this ON - but when an alert in Calendars (formerly iCal) appears, I used to have the choice to click on the alert and snooze 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, etc - 1 hour, 2 hours, 1 day. (It was rather limited, but at least I could snooze and have the alarm re-sound). Now I don't see that.

Let me know if I'm missing something-- if I click on the alert in Notification Center - it just takes me to my original event - but not to a "snooze".

Best regards,

Carlo TD--

After just writing my reply above I realized that I had the Notification Center alerts set for banners for Calendars. Okay I reset this for alerts.

Now I have the choice for a snooze but it seems that snooze is by default just 15 minutes. I have no choice of 30 minutes, one hour, two hours, one day. Or am I missing something?

Thanks for any feedback.

Regards,

Steve

Me too!

But I sure hope there is a way to snooze for various times-- if not this is a major (negative) change from iCal which I've used constantly for the past 10+ years--

It seems Calendars only allows for 15 minute "snoozes"-- very sad that - I'll write to Apple

From the Calendars Help screen:

Repeat an event alert

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.

Please let me know if there are alternatives which are linked to iCal. I guess I mean Calendars now. Ideally this would be a shell for calendars that would simply have additional features like alarms with snoozes.

I have already submitted a request via the Apple feedback website. Hopefully this will be addressed soon, but perhaps this is a limitation of the rather basic Notification Center in Mountain Lion. I believe it is also somewhat limited so that it meshes with the I OS iPhone and iPad systems.

With some 10 years of history of Events stored on the former iCal now calendars I kind of hate to abandon that now for a new calendar and schedule program. In the year 1993 there was a wonderful program "Daytimers" but they never upgraded to mac OS X.

Thanks and regards,
