Re: Calendar alerts in Mavericks
Hi Paul — I’m not particularly happy with some of the changes in Mavericks Calendar, but I’m able to modify alerts using the following steps. Note that none of my calendar events are google-based, so I’ can’t speak to possible differences in behavior that might be related to google calendar events viewed in Calendar.app. Also, while I do have several google mail accounts, I use my me.com account for email alerts in Calendar. 1. Highlight the existing event in Calendar. 2. Press Cmd+i to open the Inspector. 3. Navigate to the existing alert(s). 4. Press VO+Spacebar to activate the alert’s popup button. 5. Scroll to the bottom of the popup list and select Custom. 6. Here I am presented with the following list of choices: Message, Message with sound, email, or Open File. Selecting one of these provides additional options depending on context. 7. Make the desired changes and press OK to save them.

Re: Calendar alerts in Mavericks
If you trying to have the reminder notify you at a certain time or date then click the reminders inspector button then click the time to choose a time or choose a date then choose how many times you want the reminder to repeat from the repeat menu then choose done button. If you trying to be notified using the calendar then you will have to drag the reminder to the date in the calendar.

Calendar alerts in Mavericks
Hello, Does anyone understand how to set/modify calendar alerts in Mavericks using VoiceOver? I inherited most of my calendar from Mountain Lion where I could easily set the type of alert e.g. Email, message, or none and the time of the alert. these previously set alerts all work OK on Mavericks but I cannot work out how to modify an existing alert. I can, for example, change an Email alert 10 minutes before the event to a message alert, but then cannot change that back to an Email alert. It may be relevant that my calendar is on gmail. Many thanks.
