how can i disable alarms in iCal for automatically synced Entourage 2008 Calendar items?
i have Entourage 2008 set up to automatically sync my calendar with iCal. this is a great feature, since it lets me schedule my personal calendar items in iCal (while checking to see if they conflict with my business calendar items from Entourage, which in turn syncs to my Exchange Server at work).
however, for every calendar event scheduled in Entourage that has an alarm associated with it, i am now getting TWO alarms for the same event -- one in iCal, and one in Entourage!
so my question is, is there a way to disable iCal alarms ONLY for the items automatically sync'ed from Entourage? (ie. disable all alarms for the "Entourage" calendar in iCal).
thanks for your help, satisfactioneers!

Inappropriate?Unfortunately, no, it's not possible. It's all or nothing.
The best solution i making a private calendar in Entourage and stop syncing with ical.

Hopefully apple will address this in a future release of iCal. it's a potential issue for anyone loading multiple calendars into iCal from different sources! -
Inappropriate?I have the same issue. I get around it by setting iCal to only display alarms when the app is open. I mostly use Entourage and only open iCal occasionally, so most of the time I don't see the iCal alarms.
When I do open iCal, all the alarms are listed in a single display window so I can close all the ical alarms with one click by just closing the window..
I’m fine

Inappropriate?Also have problem. Temporary Sol'n - I use iCal Cleaner from http://www.busymac.com/utils/icalclea... to remove alarms. This is manual, and not a great w/around.
