How to Delete iCal Alarms
ICal is one of the many applications that comes with the Mac OS X operating system, allowing you to organize your schedule and keep track of appointments. ICal has several alarm features, including messages that appear on your screen, emails and opening specific files. ICal also lets you set alarms to remind you in advance before an actual event and recurring alarms for things you need to remember on a regular basis. As alarms are set individually for specific or recurring events, you must delete alarms in iCal separately.
