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

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.

Would like to use an alarm clock. I need the alarm clock to function from the sleep mode. A review said that MAC products will not allow a program to wake up a Mac. Is this correct ? Are there any products in the Mac store what will function from the sleep mode ? How do I check this out ?

You can set times for your computer to turn on or wake from sleep in the Energy Saver system preference pane using the Schedule... button.

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 from Sleep mode and start playing that Radio Station at specific times of the day?
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.

How can I turn my Mac using iTunes into an alarm clock?

Here's my question: How can I turn my Mac, using iTunes, into an alarm clock?
I want to be able to put my Mac to sleep but have it set up so that when it wakes up at the predetermined time iTunes will open and start playing the music I've selected....
A "musical alarm clock"...
A friend suggested using the Energy Saver option in Sys. Preferences to wake the computer at the right time. He said that then I could use iCal to start iTunes. I would then have to use an Apple Script to get iTunes to play the song I want.
But is there a SIMPLER way to do this? Are there any programs out there that do this already??
Thanks for any help....

I recently got a copy of AlarmClock Pro from MacWorld UK. It is shareware, I think it is (USD?)19. I haven't had a chance to try it out much, but it does look quite good. I have an older version. The latest version looks even better.
I'm sure there's plenty of freeware apps out there. You might also want to try looking here for an applescript here Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes

Looking for a specific Iphone alarm clock app

Hello,
I have been looking on the apple store for an app that I came across a while a go. It's an alarm clock app with a calculator for morning tasks, so it will ask the user how many tasks and how long each task is going to need, and then it will calculate the total time the user need in the morning. It also has an alarm clock to wake you up according to the time calculator. If you have 5 tasks:
brush up ---------------------------10 min
prepare breakfast----------------10 min
eat breakfast-----------------------5 min
read news---------------------------5 min
driving to school--------------------40 min
the total time is 1 hr 10 min. Then you enter the time school starts, 8am for example. The alarm clock will wake the user up at 6:50am in the morning on that day.
Does anyone have this app and would like to share the name of the app with me? I have been desperately looking for it and regreted not saving it to my wishlist on the first time.
Many thanks to the apple community!!!

1password is FREE for a limited time, and it allows you to store login info and notes(you can use as journal) and then lock the application with a passcode. And lockbox does about the same thing, it's free too.

Looking for an Alarm Clock app where you do math problems to turn it off

Someone told me of an application for the iPhone that is an alarm clock in which you can use a mode that, when the alarm sounds, you need to solve a math problem or other visual test in order to cease the alarm. That way the user is more awake by the time the alarm is stopped. Sounds annoying, yes, but would be just what I need.
Anyone know which alarm app this is? Or if it even exists?

There's another app that got a lot of press recently called *Proactive Sleep*.
It works similarly to the math app mentioned above but you do a 30 second visual game when you wake up. It also records your score as well as your sleep patterns and can give you recommendations and other feedback to improve your sleeping habits.

Problems with 'Alarm Clock'

Good day.
I use my Ipod as Alarm Clock - it's pretty good to wake up while listening to the favourite music. I made it to start playing playlist without beeping.
I don't know why, but sometimes (after watching video, listening to the music before I go to bed) my alarm clock doesn't work correctly: when it's time to wake up, it just shows a message *wake up* as usually, but without playing music, so I'm being late for some times already...
Please, tell me what to do, how to fix this problem, 'cause I hate ordinary beeping alarm clocks.
P.S.: Sorry, if my english isn't very good.

Pick a sound, song, etc. for the alarm and make sure it is not the default one.

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?
G5 Dual 2 GHz and iBook G4 14-inch 1 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

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!

Using my Mac as alarm clock

Hi- I notice in the Sys Prefs under Energy saver you can get the Mac to Startup (or Shutdown) at specific times.
The problem is you can only set Weekends, Weekdays, Every Day or ONE day in the week. I work Saturdays but not Mondays, so I need to set the Mac to wake at 6:00 on Tues-Sat inc, and not on Sun/Mon.
Can the Mac do this on it's own (Automator?), or will I need a bit of shareware?
Thanks muchly!

There's nothing more reliable than a windup alarm clock that you set every night... What if there's a power outage?
Here's another one that looks pretty good (never used it myself) and it's donationware.

If you leave your Mac ON all the time (using only display sleep) like I do, you can create a repeating event in iCal that sounds an alarm. I think it can also run a script, which can be used to launch iTunes and play a specific playlist. But I don't think iCal will wake up your Mac if it is sleeping.

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 apps?!?!?!?!?!?

This is quite ridiculous. The clock app that comes with the iPhone has absolutely NO customization options whatsoever when it comes to alarms, and its just flat out lame. (Apple really outdone themselves to keep everything absolutely simple, they failed, as in functionality, on this criteria this time)
I went on to search for alarm clock apps on the app store and found this free version of Alarm Clock Pro and tried it out, I liked it a bit, it offered a bit of customization than the built in clock app the iPhone comes with. So I went on ahead and bought the Pro version for .99 because the ads on the free version were annoying.
But wait, you have to leave the alarm clock app opened throughout the whole night for it to work to wake you up in the morning? HUH?? WHATS GOING ON?? I always wake up to find that half of the battery from my iPhone is drained because of the alarm app!!!! Ridiculous! I previously owned an android phone and was able to quickly find a free alarm clock app on the market that offered even more customization and all for free, and you dont need to have the app opened for it to work!!
Someone please tell me there is something else for the iPhone that can be like that, while I already wasted .99 cents on the suppose BEST alarm clock app for the iPhone, I'm even willing to pay for a new alarm app that offers the same exact thing the android has to offer.

Unfortunately no alarm clock app will wake you up to a mp3 from your library when it's not open.
This is something Apple has not allowed. We tried to come up with a solution ourselves with our alarm app but as other developers realized it cant be done . We are still working on a solution though; not giving up!
Our app if interested is alarm app that wakes you up and speaks short weather reports to you http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sleep-fm/id388631053?mt=8#

Alarm clock problem and question

My son is having problems with the alarm on his iPhone 3G. Sometimes it simply does not go off. He has tried resetting, it didn't help. I searched the forums and noticed that some other people have had the same problem. Perhaps the upcoming software update may help.
In the meantime, here is my question. There are several alarm clock apps in the app store. If he downloads one of those to use, will the battery drain be increased? He has heard that non apple apps like alarm clocks really drink up the battery life.
Any hints, clarifications, etc. greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I'm in Iraq and I use my alarm daily, to wake me up. I haven't had a problem, until I updated my phone to the 3.0 version software. I'm going to try to email support to see if there is a fix coming out; and if not, to notify them of the problem. I suggest anyone with this problem, do the same.
