3g iPhone alarms not working - going off at odd times, despite turning off/on and reset...
Hello, My ancient - i.e. more than one year old - 3g iPhone has been affected - again - by Britain fiddling about with timezones. Having had all the weekly set alarms go off at 3am etc and other annoying times, I removed all 16 alarms, turned the 3G off, turned it on again, looked at the time zone, and reset that, just for fun (London, England) and then input all the alarms again... still going off at the wrong time. Any ideas? Thank you.
Oh apologies, I am currently in the United Arab Emirates and my carrier is Etisalat. I have called them and they gave me the reset network and the airplane mode fixes which i have tried multiple times and have not worked

IPhone alarm not working when phone is switched off
Is this right? My Nokia alarm always used to go off at the desired time even if the handset was completely switched off, but my iPhone doesn't appear to be able to do this?

the iPhone won't be completely off then since it keeps the time adjusted and working, so it is running in the background!!!
it is a matter of a software update!!
if the iPhone as u guys claim is OFF OFF then u need to set up the time each time u turn it on!!
that's what I know
The iPhone is also not completely off, but it doesn't do anything noticeable when off (such as disturb others in a movie theater by sounding its alarm).
But then of course nobody would surely be so stupid as to set an alarm to go off when they're going to be in such a place. -
Alarms not working going crazy
Hi All,
The alarms in iCal are not working AT ALL for me, no matter if iCal is open or not. I practically tried everything that was suggested in these forums. I usually setup alarms to pop-up a message and play a sound before an event. However, everything is silent for some reason. No pop-ups and no sounds even when iCal is open. Here is what I tried so far:
1) I deleted all iCal preferences from library/Preferences/ and restarted iCal.
2) I made sure that iCalAlarmScheduler is in the login items and that is is loaded.
3) Tried again with open iCal, but no luck again.
Just FYI, I am on a MacPro, with Mac OS X 10.4.9 and ALL the updates installed, running iCal 2.0.5 (1069).
I am SO frustrated!!! This seems to be a VERY common problem since iCal 1.5 and Apple obviously can't find a solution for it. Is it THAT hard Apple engineers?
Please help! I REALLY need these reminders. Without them I am lost. Thanks!alexbet,
I am glad to hear that you resolved the problem.
You said: I really don't understand why it didn't work before and it did this time, but thank you for "making me" do it again.
Did you have iCal running when you previously tried the plist removal?
I suggested a specific order to ensure that you did not have iCal running when you removed the appropriate plist files. Plist removal is more often than not, unsuccessful if the application concerned is running or the application is restarted before a log out/in or system restart is accomplished.

[FIXED] iPhone alarm not work issues..
New Year’s 2011 breaks (non-recurring) iPhone alarm clocks (update: auto-fixes)
Fixed:
http://iphonefunny.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-years-2011-breaks-non-recurring.html
The iPhone alarm bug will fix itself on January 3, but if you want to fix your phone now you can simply fix it by editing the alarm and setting it to repeat for multiple days.

Many Thanks For the Fix!! -
My touch screen screen is not working properly. I touch one App or icon and an different App/icon opens. It is an ultra sensitive touch screen, any idea on how to solve this issue?
Yes! Stop using the charger! My husband noticed it was worse when plugged in. One apple guy told me "restore" ... I did all that and it did not help. After I stopped using the charger, it stopped messing up. I used my husband's charger and all is well.
Later, an apple employee told me to bring in the charger for a trade in, because they had a recall on some of them.
I haven't traded it yet, but I plan on it.
Good luck! Let me know! -
Ical to Iphone alarm not working
Maybe i have a bad combination. I'm using the iPhone 3 running OS 3.1.3 since 4 slowed the poor little down so much.
I have iCal events which i have no problems syncing between several laptops and the iPhone, but I can't seem to get the thing to pop up an alarm on the iPhone. I can get it to do it on iCal.
So I've tried Growl and OmniGrowl... first i started w/ the growlit.scpt and tried to get the event in iCal to read that script but I got an error that says connection is invalid... then I bought Omnigrowl thinking I needed something with the word Omni in it... :-) Got other pop ups on my laptop, but not on my iPhone.
Any suggestions? is there a "start over" button?
thanks
gDid you have any luck solving this problem? I have the same issue too, but I have an iPhone 4. Would greatly appreciate if you had any feedback. Thank you.

Why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 is turned off
why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 for is turned off works fine when on most other phones work when off
The only phone I've ever had that would turn on and sound the alarm is a Blackberry. So, I'd hardly say "most phones" have this function.

I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?
I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue. -
IPhone 4 alarm not working since 01.01.2011
iPhone 4 iOS 4.2.1 alarm not working since 01.01.2011. Tried different settings such as turning off automatic update and changing location. Nothing seem to be working. Any solution?
Same for both mine and my wife's iPhone 4 4.2.1. Her work woke us up. I found a short fix while testing it out. If you setup a repeat alarm for the day you want it to go off it works. I don't know why but it works, if I don't set the repeat the alarm does not sound. Hope it helps some people but Apple... Fix it please!

My iphone is not working when i plug off from charger.
My iphone is not working when i plug off from charger. Evenmore when it is on the charger and it still not working, it asks to connect to i-tunes but i can't and i can see only emergency calls. What should i do?
If it only works when connected to a charger, that would indicate a battery issue.
As for the other issue... do as it suggests and connect to iTunes then restore. There is no logical, intelligent expectation that anything on the device can be accessed as long as the "Connect to iTunes" screen is displaying. -
My phone was stolen, what can I do to recover? He is off then the app "Find My iPhone" is not working. I'm desperate, because not even finished paying and is ma warranty.
For Find My Phone to work, you must first turn it on in Settings > iCloud before the iPhone is stolen, and the iPhone MUST be turned on and connected with the Internet. If not, it is not possible to locate it. Report the theft to the police, change all passwords associated with accounts on the iPhone, contact your carrier in case the can blacklist it.

Certain iCal Event Alarms Not Working on iPhone
I have certain calendar event reminders that are not issuing on the iPhone (3GS, latest iOS 4.3.5) after syncing from iCal on the desktop with a CalDAV calendar running on Mac OS X 10.6 Server.
Most appointments do issue alerts properly, but I've noticed ones that have some or all of the following attributes are a problem:
1 - recurring on alternating weeks
2 - alarm set for day before the event (e.g. 7pm the night before or "5 hours before all-day event" as calendar sees it)
3 - alarms that do not conform to the short list of pre-set iPhone calendar alarms (5 min, 10 min, 15 min,... 2 hours before, 12 hours before)
I have a feeling it's #3 or a combination of all. I've tried deleting and re-adding the calendar on the iPhone. I've also verified that the time zones match between phone and desktop iCal. In my case, the alarm never happens for these specific events, not that it happens much later or something.
Anyone experience this issue?
Thankswhy so many views of this question and nobody had replied with an answer?

After updating my iphone 6 to ios 8.0.2, the iphone is not working at all!!
after updating my iphone 6 to ios 8.0.2, the iphone is not working at all!! the apple logo shows up for a few seconds. then the screen goes red !! after it restarts and it do the same!! please help.
Well, just for future reference, any time you do an iOS upgrade, it is a good idea to back up your device just prior to doing the download. You can back it up to iCloud or to iTunes. Personally, I prefer to back it up to iTunes, and then to do the download via iTunes as well. Doing a Wifi download can, by the very nature of the OTA environment, run into more issues than a hard-wired one via iTunes.
If it is just a version release (like 8.0.1, or 8.0.2), then I might download it via Wifi, since the content is not likely to be very large. But for any major new release (7 to 8, etc.) it is always a good idea to do it via the USB cable rather than OTA.
I would also suggest that you set up your device to do automatic iCloud backups. Whenever it is turned on (i.e., not manually powered off - it can be "asleep"), plugged into a power source, and connected to Wifi, it will do an automatic backup every 24 hours. Mine usually backs up at night.
But even with my iCloud backup in reserve, I still did an iTunes backup before I upgraded to iOS 8. I like having the extra security of that second backup to choose from, should I need it. Here is a support article comparing the two types of backup:
Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
Sorry you lost your stuff. Hope then next update goes better for you!
Best of luck,
