Am i doing something wrong? Worked fine and was easy before maverick, i used the help menu and did it the way it said to do it. Do events only work if the calendar is open now?

Hello there, Charles.
Calendar alerts in Mavericks should provide a notification even if the application is not running. This Knowledge Base article offers up some good review information on setting up an alert:

Additionally I would review Notification Preferences to see if something there is set to not alert you:

If the issue persists, you may want to test the Calendar app by using another user account:

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Ok, i'm not doing it wrong then. But it still doesn't work. How do i fix it?
No longer works for me either, so it's not just you. Frustrating, since I rely on alerts (or I did - having missed an event last week I don't any more).
I depended on them too. Can't believe that nobody knows how to fix this. I grieve for the loss of my G4 titanium. I wanted a computer that worked without the dreaded blue screen. I didn't want the cloud. I didn't want to sync with other devices. I didn't want targeted advertzing from a relationship with google. And i think i'm careful enough to use java and pdf's without the machine freaking out. I wanted a computer that worked doing basic things, like calendar notifications. ***!
Why don't ical alerts work on marverick
