Alarm clock: wake to music or radio?

Please help: I want to set an alarm in my iPhone3G and wake up to an internet radio station or iPod music. Anyone know how I can do this?
Is there a general way to scrip some iPhone3G functions at a scheduled time? Like a chron job for instance.
Thanks for you help...

Can't be done now, but a nice idea. You can submit a feature request to Apple.

Alarm clock - wake up to music

On my good old iPod I can set the alarm clock to wake me up to one of my playlists or anything else in my music library. This is not the case with the iPhone. Can someone get word back to Apple that future versions of the alarm clock should allow this. It seems to me there should be no technical reason not to do this, so why not?

Alarm Clock - Wake to a playlist

I think Apple should enable the alarm clock to allow you to wake to a playlist, in addition to the ringtones. I love to listen to music in the morning and I miss how my 1st gen nano could do this but 3 years later the iPhone cannot. I think Apple usually thinks of everything, so I was really surprised when I couldn't wake to a playlist. Please, make this a feature for a future update.

Have you provided feedback to Apple?

Otherwise even if Apple doesn't supply it when the 3.0 update comes around App's are meant to be getting access to the Playlist/Music so i'm sure one of the alarm clock app's will have it

Music Alarm Clock

Hi. I was wondering if there is any way to use the ipod touch as an alarm clock that plays music. With my ipod video, it could either play a playlist, or my ihome alarm clock could play it. But with the touch, it cant play music with its own alarm, and the ihome cant wake it up and play it all at once. Does anyone know if there is something that will work? (why would apple take out something thats actually useful like this?)

I played with this a bit tonight after discovering that my son's Touch apparently didn't wake with his iHome iH8.
I think that turning off the automatic screen lock on the Touch will prevent it from locking up, and allow the alarm clock to wake up the Touch to play music. I've run a couple quick tests and they seem to corroborate that. I'll let you know how it goes in the morning...
So, you've got a choice: hassle of no music via your iHome, or hassle of disabling the screen lock.

Internet radio alarm clock

Is there a way to get the alarm clock to play a internet radio station or a podcast instead of a mp3? I have saved a .RAM of a webstream to my phone but alarm clock does not seem to want to play it.
I think this would be a really good feature and not too hard to implement.

i don't know if this has been brought up before but anyways on the topics of docks...i am getting the bose dock for christmas. but i wish someone would make a cable that would connect your ipod to your dock because i am almost positive that i will need to take my ipod out of its case to put it in the dock. i believe that if i am willing to fork out 300 dollars for an ipod and another 300 for a sound dock that i shouldn't have to take the case off of my ipod to listen to it.

AppleScript: AirPort Alarm Clock

I have been programming with Unix shell scripts for some years but following is my very first AppleScript (modified through trial and error from public domain script). This script is used together with timer application Aurora as alarm clock to stream music from iMac in living room through Airfoil utility and AirPort Express to Bose speaker in bedroom every morning. It was edited in Script Editor and saved as application. Whenever the script is invoked, I notice old Mac OS 9 style of beach ball appear on display. Obviously it has been saved as carbon instead of native cocoa application, may I know how can I turn the AppleScript into native cocoa application ? (through Script Editor / XCode ?) I have Intel version of Mac OS 10.4.9 installed on iMac Core2Duo with all Apple updates applied as of today.
I find this script rather useful for streaming any playlist to any remote speaker through Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil utility and AirPort Express. It can be kept on desktop for convenient access as well. Note Apple AirTunes bypass any audio plugins installed in iTunes (SRS iWOW and Volume Logic in my case), hence Airfoil must be used instead. Let me know whether any improvement can be made to the script.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
--Set target speaker with name of base station and playlist
set newSpeaker to "Bose"
set newList to "Party Shuffle"
tell application "Airfoil"
--Find iTunes
set pathToApp to (POSIX path of (path to application "iTunes"))
--Create a new source and set it to iTunes
set newSource to make new application source
set application file of newSource to pathToApp
--Set the source
set (current audio source) to newSource
--Set the speaker volumes
set (volume of speaker newSpeaker) to 1
--And finally start transmitting
connect to speaker newSpeaker
launch
set visible of every window to false
end tell
tell application "iTunes"
play (some track of playlist newList)

set visible of every window to false
end tell

Encapsulate Apple Script in "Run Apple Script" module of Automator.

One stupid question! I can't find how to put my alarm clock ringing tone

One stupid question! I can't find how to put my alarm clock ringing tone - music (you have bad tunes out there.)
I hope very much that I was mistaken
<Edited by Host>

Here is just one of the many articles explaining how to make your own ringtones.

If that one doesn't help, just google it.
Best of luck.

Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock? I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on and start playing that Radio Station from Sleep mode at spec

Any App or plug-in that does that?
Many thanks

Turning your Mac into a clock radio.
1. In iTunes create a playlist that contains just the radio station you want to wake up to.
2. Export the playlist (as .m3u works well). Get Info on your playlist file and look at the Open With entry to make sure it points to iTunes, VLC or some other app that will stream your station.
3. In iCal create an event entry at the time you want to wake up.
4. Right (or Control) click on your wakeup event and select Get Info.
5. For "alarm" select Open File.
6. Now under Open File there will be a place to add the file to open. It will probably be some default entry (like iCal). Click on it will allow you to select "other." Then use the file dialog to select your playlist file.
Your Mac will wake you up at the appointed time. You don't need to keep iCal running. If you want to put you Mac to sleep for the night then there is one more thing you need to do. Open System Preferences to Energy Saver and click on the Schedule button. Check Start up or wake and set the wake up time to slightly before your iCal alarm time.

Music alarm clock battery draining

I like to be wake up in the morning by music and in windows8 I can choose music for alarm but sound volume cannot be regulated(too loud for me). So I installed aplication music alarm where sound volume for alarm can be regulated but it drain my battery for around 25% during night in flight mode. If I use windows alarm it doesn't drain battery but it is too loud. Does anybody knows better ap or anything else what I can do.

I played with this a bit tonight after discovering that my son's Touch apparently didn't wake with his iHome iH8.
I think that turning off the automatic screen lock on the Touch will prevent it from locking up, and allow the alarm clock to wake up the Touch to play music. I've run a couple quick tests and they seem to corroborate that. I'll let you know how it goes in the morning...
So, you've got a choice: hassle of no music via your iHome, or hassle of disabling the screen lock.

Alarm clock with Radio on 6230i

Hi,
Has anyone used the alarm clock function with the radio to wake you in the morning/evening..?
Is it possible to use the alarm to play the radio for 15 mins and turn it off say to go to sleep with. The kinda opposite of snooze.??
Gratful for any info..or 3rd party app maybe?
Crispy

No honest ...try it! :-)
I use it all the time as a morning wakeup alarm! I just wanted to know if it would do the opposite...can't find it yet but I'm sure it would..I suppose I will have to develop the app for it!
This phone has hidden depths and I don't think there is anyone that knows it fully yet...

Any indicators for 3rd party Radio alarm clock docks and iPhone 5?

Has Apple created any guidelines for the iPhone 5 when using an older radio alarm clock dock, using the lightning to 30 pin adapter ? My iPad is no problem, but my iPhone 5 (when I have it in hand) might be. Any ideas?

For Apple to see this you need to repost it at

Alarm Clock not repeating custom music

Hello,
so maybe, this is not an issue for most people, but i have to know, if other recognize this change to.
I´m not waking up so easy in the morning, so I used the Alarm tool of my iPhone daily and was happy, when Apple gave the opportunity for using your own music as wakeup tone. Before updating, I used a regular track for waking up. This constantly repeated itself, as long as i turned it off or used the snooze button. This was very convenient, because I´m not waking up on the first play, so i liked, that my iPhone was not giving up.
But after updating on iOS 8.3, the music stops after he plays the track ones and never repeat it again. If I look on the screen after a while, he still shows the option to use the snooze button, but no tone.
It´s frustrating, because i oversleep twice because of that, so I wondering, why Apple change that. I don´t think, that this is an Software issue, because all of my iOS devices (Phone, Pad, Pod) working the same way now.
Does anyone noticed that change too?
Regards, Appledomer

Use IHome Sleep. It is great!! You don't need an IHome either!!

IPad Air and Music library as alarm clock

Is there a way to use the music in my library on the iPad Air as alerts, like, for an alarm clock? Is there an app or something that will allow me to do this?
thanks!
Andy

Further to above
Progress Notable!
But before I outline the details, I wish to apologise to APPLE for laying the blame at their doorstep for loosing or misplacing those PDFs I have on the iPad 1, when I set up my iPad Air , by restoring from the backup of iPad 1, thus copying all data from the old to the new.
NOT REALLY THEIR FAULT AT ALL
Because a lot of the many PDFs had the same name, ie PDF.pdf, probably my fault more than anybody else's, so I can't blame APPLE for that. Just goes to show one should be a little more precise in creating these portable documents.
No wonder the poor program " lost its' marbles" when doing the updating and conversion/transfer.
However, I was able to recover most of them by personal email, and extracting and RENAMING the PDFs as I located them in their new home.
Those PDFs that we're locked an thus not email-able , I will deal with by
Viewing
Photoeing (if that's how you spell it).
And re-building the PDF from the photos, in unlocked format, after transferring these files either by Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, from the old to the new iPad.
So all is not lost, and I am thankful that my cautious approach to this matter in the first place, gave me the ability for this successful recovery.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I hope this little story of my saga/experience may prove helpful to others yet to cross the chasm of updating.
Regards to all, including APPLE.
NICE STUFF YOU MAKE.

Alarm clock dock speeding up music

Hey folks.
Got a new iPhone 4 8GB running on iOS 5.0.1 stock and an iPod touch 2nd Gen 32GB running jailbroken 3.1.2.
Both these devices, when the alarm goes off with music, the music is slightly faster then normal. Somewheres between 1.1X-1.25X the speed of what the song should be. (checked with friends, they notice it too, so I'm not crazy!) This happens on both devices, been happening on the ipod for probably a month or two, just got the iphone a few days ago. Restored the iPhone after noticing the issue is still happening, and it made no effect.
This only happens when the alarm goes off with the devices connected, and will actually still continue to happen on the devices themselves for anywheres from 4hours-2 days. I don't power off or power cycle my devices daily and can't figure out what stops the song speed up from happening.
I hit the reset pinhole switch on the bottom of the alarm clock, then took out the power cable and batteries, left it like that for an hour. Still happening after.

That is the alarm clock there, I honestly cannot figure this out. Been poking Google and Bing but nothing yet. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and take the iPods and dock.
If you look at the dock connectors on the iPods do they look damaged? Like bend contact or broken plastic pieces?
Also, are you fully seating the iPods in the dock?
