multiple alarms are a little funny
I've had zero luck with multiple alarms. Specifically, I wanted an email sent to me and at another time have a message displayed for the same event. Well, I received no alarms for a while and so I called Apple. They told me I had to choose one or the other and if I wanted multiple alarms I would need multiple events.
multiple alarms are a little funny
I use multiple alarms (successfully) all the time. I typically send an E-mail alarm several hours before an important meeting and a Message (with sound) about 10 minutes in advance. The key is that your Mac must be awake with your account logged on for an alarm to work.
me too
I can vouch for that.
me three
But I leave iCal open all the time, stay logged in, and have my computer set to never sleep...
me three
I allow my laptop to sleep at night, but have ordered it to wake up before my alarm goes off by setting
System Preferences>Energy Saver>Schedule>Start up the computer "Every Day" at 7am
This seems to work. In the morning I usually wake up to some nice music.
I stand corrected
I tried this again on my G4 at home and it works fine. I haven't tried it on my iBook yet but am guessing something was just weird. It's funny that Apple told me I'd need multiple events, though.
multiple alarms & how to set them
I think the confusion arises from a design bug in iCal: when you make a new appointment [which has no alarms, of course], the place you quite naturally choose to click is the word "alarm". |
