yes its turned on

 

[Infiniti7]

So if it says it's turned on and still not working what could it be?

in your event details make sure you have your Alert set accordingly 5 minutes before, 10 minutes before, 1 day before etc. etc.

Why does it have to be 5 10 20 ect mins before? Why can't you just set it at the exact time you want?

 

[BLiNK]

ok, try "At time of event" within your Alert setting

there has to be a reason my alerts are not going off? its on and everything and my sound/ speakers work perfectly fine for every other thing like text music ect

I am having the same issue with my iPhone 4. I sync with Outlook weekly.

Make sure the mute switch is not set and the volume is turned up. Also make sure there are no headphones or Bluetooth connected.

Check Settings->Sounds->Calendar Alerts

Go to Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars->Time Zone Support and make sure it's correct.

All setting are correct.

There still should be a notification on the lock screen, like a missed call, right?

i had this issue and found the answer was to take my calendar reminders off banners and onto alerts

settings>notifications>calendar>alert style

hope this helps.

Calendar alerts vibrate but. No noise

Verify that your device is not set on silent mode.

I've had this problem on my iphone 5 from day 1. Sat on the phone with Apple for over an hour & didn't solve the problem so they sent me a new phone coz mine was only a few days old & guess what..... It's still doesn't work. It's something I used all the time with my previous iPhones with no problems so I've had to start using the reminders app. Can't understand what the issue is & why it's still not sorted even after all the updates.

Make sure the basics are covered:

1. Settings-Notifications Scroll down to "Calendar Alerts" and then select the Alert Tone you want to use OR
2. Settings-Sounds Scroll down to "Calendar Alerts" and then select the Alert Tone you want to use.
3. Check the "Do Not Disturbed" times. Settings-Notifications-Do Not Disturb.
4. Settings-Notifications-Calendar and make sure that the "Alerts" feature is enabled under the "Alert Style" option.

I can say mine were only randomly working before i got rid of my 4. But that was only a minimal issue lol

No headphones or bluetooth? You're kidding right? If the alerts do not work when you are using headphones then there is a major problem. Suggesting this as though it is a fix is a really sad. I know it is not your fault, but how about saying this "Sometimes it doesn't work when you have headphones connected which is a problem for Apple.

I have an iphone 5 and I was just having the same problem. The ringer was working but everything else was silent (vibrations still worked). I fixed it by opening the music app and turning the volume up. I guess that's how you can control the volume for everything besides the ringer (the side volume buttons only adjust the ringer volume).

I find reminder to be buggy sometimes but as long as you follow the above and still have problems like I do sometimes just use your calendar app for important things

Funny if I set a reminder using Siri I never have a problem
