copied!<p>Not quite the answer to your question that you wanted, but...</p> <p>Why do you have so many alerts? It sounds like you might be overusing them. Apple is quite clear in its Human Interface Guidelines about how you should use UIAlerts:</p> <blockquote> <p>Avoid creating unnecessary alerts.</p> <p>These alerts are usually unnecessary if they:</p> <ul> <li>Merely increase the visibility of some information, especially information that is related to the standard functioning of your application.</li> </ul> <p>Instead, you should design an eye-catching way to display the information that harmonizes with your app’s style.</p> <ul> <li>Update users on tasks that are progressing normally.</li> </ul> <p>Instead, consider using a progress view or an activity indicator to provide progress-related feedback to users (these methods of feedback are described in “Progress View” and “Activity Indicator”).</p> <ul> <li>Ask for confirmation of user-initiated actions.</li> </ul> <p>To get confirmation for an action the user initiated, even a potentially risky action such as deleting a contact, you should use an action sheet.</p> <ul> <li>Inform users of errors or problems about which they can do nothing.</li> </ul> <p>Although it might be necessary to use an alert to tell users about a critical problem they can’t fix, it’s better to integrate such information into the UI, if possible. For example, instead of telling users every time a server connection fails, display the time of the last successful connection.</p> </blockquote> <p>If you're overusing alerts: don't. Then your original question may become moot.</p>
