ALarm clock and sleep behavior

I am using Alarm Clock 2.3.8 with my G5, which wakes the computer up at a specified time and plays music to wake me up, but one issue I noticed on testing it. I have a password set to wake the computer from sleep and screen saver, and when the computer wakes up, if the password is not entered within about a minute, the computer goes back to sleep, which I know is a normal behavior, but in this application is kind of annoying. But also, when this happens, it effectively puts Alarm Clock in snooze mode so the G5 wakes back up a few minutes later and continues like this.
Is there any way to change the sleep parameters so that it won't go back to sleep if the password is not entered on wake?

LOL. You could buy an alarm clock.
While waking to music may be nice, I find the alarm function of my Nokia phone to be the absolute best alarm clock I've ever used: it starts out at a low volume and then quickly escalates to an ear-splitting level that I find impossible to sleep through. It also has a snooze function, though the alarm is so effective that it wakes me from even the deepest sleep.
Most cell phones have alarm features, so you may want to try that if you have a mobile and want to eschew an alarm clock.
Good luck!

My alarm clock and other apps no longer play any sound. My ringer stills works, so what is causing that?

My alarm clock and other apps no longer play any sound. Ringer is still working and i can not find any settings that are turning off the sound. What could cause this?

I know for a fact apple doesn't want carriers fixing their phones. My carrier even warned me that they can't fix the phones only apple stores can fix them. Well guess what I just wasted my whole day by driving to an apple store they "fixed" my phone I got home and it started doing the same **** things they didn't fix **** now I have to waste even more time by finding a ups store to ship my phone to apple so that means I'm going to be out of a phone for over a week because they never fixed it or replaced it like they should have. I'm so upset with apple that if this new phone does the same things were dropping apple and are going to samsung. I wasted 4 hours driving and $40 in gas and 6 hours of my time for nothing. Apple needs to put in more store around the country if their not going to let the carriers fix the phones them selves.

5G Oddities - Alarm clock and audiobooks

My 5G ipod is a wonderful toy but I've noticed a couple of oddities that I wonder if anyone else has experienced. They both relate to switching away from video playback - i.e. I had been watching a video on the ipod before ...
In both cases the iPod is sat in a powered dock.
1) When watching video & using the sleep timer to turn it off (falling asleep infront of a very small TV) the alarm clock doesn't seem to sound the next morning. When I fall asleep to music it works fine.
2) When navigating away from a video to an audiobook (through the audiobook menu - though not if chosen as a "song" or "album") the audiobook plays back like an old 45 set on 33.
(for you "youngsters" who have never played with vinyl records that means "slowly" ).
Can anyone else reproduce this?
iBook G4, Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks, I had searched for the alarm clock issue but only remembered the audiobook one as I was writing it. Unsurprisingly that's the workaround I came up with.
My guess would be that the same problem is affecting the alarm clock operation
so when they fix one they'll probably fix both. In the meantime I should probably just stop falling asleep to video if I want to get woken up by my iPod.
Thanks again.

Issues with Alarm Clock and Calendar Notifications

I have noticed that when I am using the Alarm clock, it will not go off when the calendar is showing a meeting reminder....
Is there any way to dis-activate this? My alarm clock will not work.. and there are too many appts in my calendar to go thru them to change...

I also have the same issue. If the alarm is set and the calendar sends a notification just prior to the alarm time, the calendar notification prevents the alarm from going off. I understand it is a bug, but when will it be fixed? What is the bug ID? how do we track known bugs so we know they are being fixed? The problem is with the iPhone's included clock and calendar apps, so it is not a 3rd Party application issue, right? Thanks!

Ipod alarm clocks and similar accessories useless with protector case?

I am frustrated. My child bought an Ipod Touch 5th gen. We spent the money buying a good protector case for it so it will actually last and then she received an alarm clock that will charge the Ipod when docked. BUT, you have to take the Ipod out of the case to charge it. So it makes the alarm clock accessory useless. Plus, I found an adaptor so that it could be plugged in, it fits, but aparently it is not "certified" and won't charge (it seems to fit fine!! but is being blocked?). I have looked at every docking aparatus out there and none work with a proper protector case and any good case does not come off quickly or easily to dock. Nor would you want it to as its tough for the case to do its job if it is not on the ipod.
Anyone found any work arounds that I can't find? Why doesn't Apple make a dock extender? Why do they block after market extenders?
I don't know any adults let alone children that keep their ipods/iphones etc out of a protector case so why bother making accessories that can't be utilized?
For such a large company with such a market share, why hasn't this problem been solved? (OK maybe it has been solved and I am just unaware. If so I take back most of the negative things I am thinking. Someone please tell me I'm wrong!)
If there isn't a solution out there, are there any other brands of tablets etc out there that are more durable and functional with accessories than the i-products? We have more people in our household that will utilize a tablet of some sort in the near future.

The previous discussion cites/provides link to a certified Lightning extender

E63 Alarm Clock and Date problem

Power off E63, when alarm clock ring, power on. The system date change.This problem happen almost every Sat. and Mon.. FW version 102.21.001

in my opinion this is a media cache issue.
activate Mass Storage mode and connect your device to your PC.
using the Explorer of the PC, view the Storm's two harddrives and especially the hidden files. You should see a file named BBThumbs.dat in every folder that contains a media file. Delete all those BBThumbs.dat files.
those files are media cache, and they may sometimes get corrupt. Deleting them will force the Media Manager to recreate the cache entirely.

Alarm clock and Reminder

Is there any alterative for the alarm clock app coz it doesn't seem to have a proper snooze option and also the reminder app of the new ios is difficult to use, so can anyone suggest me alternatives for both the aps ??

"What is the advantage of having this new email account?"
It is simply an extra email if you wish to use it. You don't have to.
"Also, the iPad is considered superior to other tablets because of the wealth of apps available (140,000). Isn't that a little hyped?"
No. It is actually +600,000 apps.
The 140,000 is iPad specific apps. You can also run iPhone apps and universal apps just fine.
Sure there are lots of duplicates and a bunch of apps are lame but there are definitely plenty of very good quality apps.

Alarm clock and calendar event failed when we entered 1 Jan 2011 today!

This morning my alarm clock didn't work and the iphone just didn't recognise that an alarm was set. And the event alarm set for today in the calendar didn't work either. Obviously there are buds that paralyse these functions when we entered into 2011. Anybody knows how to fix it?

There's no fix as it's a bug. The only work around is to either set repeating alarms only.
Supposedly the problem will go away on it's own on the 3rd.

Alarm clock and snooze option

Hi,
With my old phone (a 6280) i was able to change the amount of time the snooze option would turn the alarm off for.
with my n95 i cant find the option to change it. and the default is 5 minutes. which is **bleep**.
can it be changed on this phone or am i stuck with it?
Thanks

I think Time Machine is the cheapest - I think I paid US$5 .. which is practically free given current exchange rates
Reasonably good product, too.

Problem With Alarm Clock and Ringtones

Two nights ago i set my alarm for 5:00am on my Blackberry Storm2. The next morning the alarm did not go off. When i checked the phone i tested the ringtone associated with the alarm and it came back with an error message that said the phone could not find the ring tone. I then noticed that all ring tones did not work, my phone did not ring when called, the phone also did not make any alert sounds. I tried several different ring tones and I received all the same messages.
I did a battery pull on my phone and that seemed to fix all the issues so I did not thing anything of it. I tried it again this morning and the same thing. I did not do the battery pull this morning as I was going to leave the errors on the phone to bring back to Verizon. I even tried calling the phone this morning and it would not ring or sound any alerts. All of a suddent about 3 hours later my phone starting ringing from a phone call and alll the ring tones started working
I have not added any ring tones to my phone all of these ring tones are the factory installed ones. Both nights I have the phone on my dresser face down and not attached to any charging wires. I did add music to my media card 2 days ago using the ITunes Snyc but have not created any ring tones at all.
Would anyone know what is causing this issue?

Ipod nano 2nd gen and dock/alarm clock

i have read through alot of the posts and have not seen anything similar to my question.
i got my daughter an ipod nano for xmas.
we really dont leave the computer on alot and she was wanting a docking station/speaker setup. i found one that charges it/ has speakers and is also an alarm clock.
she likes the idea of having the alarm clock with it.
this is the model she got: curtis iMode ip210 link to where it was bought http://hhgregg.com/ProductDetail.asp?SID=0B568914D18A4CBEB2E80A95E8C46043&Produc tID=17180
we have not hooked it up yet because of a small problem maybe. (hooked up to power that is)
it came with a bunch of different adapters for the different ipod versions. well the nano one is incorrect. i guess due to ours being a 2nd gen version.
the ipod goes right on the dock fine with out it.
the little plastic adapter i got with the ipod kinda works in the slot of the radio but would need a little modification to snap in. the difference is the outside shape and would just needed some sanding. i have called the support number for the radio and all i could get from the was its not compatable. and i am not too sure why.
from what i have found out is all the ipod dock connectors are the same and there is no difference. not sure about this just what i have noticed.
i tried to call my local apple store and ask them but that guy started talking about firewire and problems. i told him how it docked and what it was and he still insisted on talking about firewire and those problems. i hung up as it didnt sound like he knew anything.
so now would i be ok in useing the adapter i got with the ipod and makeing some slight mods(sanding outside edge) to it. or is the something totally different between the 1st gen and 2nd gen that would mess up the ipod if put in this unit.
the reason i want this unit as it will replace her current alarm clock and she has a loft bed and its the only unit that we have seen that will fit and is in our price range.
thank you for your help

ipod nano 2nd gen Windows XP

The dock adaptor that came with the iPod is meant to fit Apple's universal dock and not a 3rd party accessory.
The reason you are having issues is because although the dock connectors on iPods are all the same (the pins are in the same place), the connector on the second gen nano is in a slightly different place than on the first. If you look at it from the bottom with the iPod face up, it's slightly more to the left. This, and the fact that it has a metal case with rounded edges, has made the new nano incompatible with almost all these type of accessories.
It's been mentioned here several times, and a few people have been able to get the manufacturer of the dock to supply them with an adaptor.

Alarm clock on ipad/iphone

sometimes I will open my ipad alarm clock and notice that it is showing the day of the week as the wrong day, for instance, today Sunday was highllighted instead of Tuesday, meaning my alarm clock didn't go off for work. The calendar does show the right day, and if I restart the ipad, the alarm clock will show the right day of the week again. Anyone know why this might be?

Something weird is going on. Close all apps on the iPad and reset the device. See of that corrects this situation.
Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails, reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. No data will be lost but all of the device settings must be needed again.

Accurian alarm clock screen issue

Hi,
I checked the discussions before posting this, and I'm surprised no one's posted anything regarding this issue.
I just bought an Accurian alarm clock at Radio Shack (very retro, love it!). I'm very impressed with the sound, but the screen will not shut off, the iPod stays on all night. This cannot be good for the iPod's screen, I'm afraid it will shorten the display's life. I've tried to turn the screen off manually; it does turn off, but turns right back on as long as it's docked. I have not contacted Radio Shack, so I thought I'd check here first. Does anybody else have this alarm clock, and have you figured out how to make the screen shut down? If I can't work around this, I might have to return the item. I'm just too scared about the display life. Anyone out there figure this out yet? Thanks for any help.

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
That sounds strange.First of all try to clear data for clock under settings > apps > all > clock > clear data. Restart your device and try again.
If the behavior persists, I would suggest that you try to boot your phone into safe mode to see if the problem may be related to any 3rd party app that you have installed in your phone:
