One of the little-known features of iCal is the ability to schedule future alarms along with an AppleScript action. AppleScript is Apple’s consumer-based programming language that allows you to write simple scripts that will automate repetitive tasks on your Mac.

Alarms are a great feature of iCal and the MobileMe Calendar; alarms can help keep you on track for your various daily activities.

We found a simple work around that can help you until this bug is fixed by Apple.
