Alarm fails to go off

It seems like my iPod Video's alarm clock function fails to go off if it isn't connected to a power source, and if the alarm is set to more than a few minutes away; as though it goes into a power-saving mode, from which the alarm functionality can't wake it up. This never used to happen...

i had this problem..
when you go in to the clock feature- where it shows a list of the clocks you have, make sure the clock is black and not white. if its white it means its out of sync with the actual time and date you have set on your ipod.
i had some trouble with this, but it seems to only happen if i go a while without hooking it up to my computer

My alarm isn't going off in iOS 6. Anybody else? Any fix?

I have had at least 2 occurances where my alarm has failed to go off in the morning. Anybody else have this problem?

You have posted to the iTunes Match forum, which your question does not appear to pertain to. You'll have better luck posting to either the Using iPhone or Using iPad forum.

Nokia 5800 v31 calendar alarm fail

HI!
I have upgraded my 5800 xm to v31.
Now i have the clock bug, the alarm always goes off 3 or 4 minutes after the hour i expected.
Worst than that is that every time i set a calendar alarm it doesn't do anything! When i go to calendar it says:
"1 or more calendar alarms failed due to hour change"
Does anyone have the same problem? Is there a way out?
Best regards
Sandgrain

There has also been cases of users changing snooze time from 5 to 10 min ( just the changing, whatever time you set it to) and solves the alarm for a little while. The bug is totally random.
My first 5800 on v30 had this issue - did a reset and it fixed the alarm for about 4 days before it continued to go off a couple of mins late. My second 5800 on 31 did not have it the first 3 weeks untill one night... You might be lucky or you might not be. It's totally random so chanchans advice getting a 3rd party alarm would be the thing. V40 solves it.

Alarm clock sometimes going off hour early.

I was under the impression that this alarm clock bug was only affecting people in other countries after daylight savings. However, it is happening to me in Chicago right now!
I noticed this yesterday when an alarm I use everyday, woke me up an hour early. it just did the same thing again today. I tried to "trick" it by setting an alarm this morning for an hour later, but strangly it went of at the time I actually set it for.
Anyone else having this problem in the USA?

Yes, since last weekend, an alarm is now going off an hour early every day. Hope you get an answer.

How to disable alarms when iCal is off

Hi all,
I might be missing something here, but I believe there used to be two settings to turn off alarms in 10.4 and 10.5:
1) disable all alarms
2) disable alarms when iCal is off
Did option 2) disappear in 10.6? I am really missing this feature.
Thanks for your insights

I too would like to know a way around this problem. In the prior version of iCal, you could enable alarms only when iCal was running. I routinely sync three computers, sometimes hours to days apart. So unless I remember to turn alarms off prior to shutting down the machines, the alarms are not properly updated upon syncing when an idle machine is turned back on.
Hope this makes sense. Either way, it would have been better if Apple had not gotten rid of this feature in the new iCal.
Eddie

ICal alarms will not turn off

I have duplicate calendar entries and alarms i cannot turn off. I have:
deleted the entries driving the alarms
deleted the calendars containing these entries
uninstalled iCal
removed Calendar Cache and all files from ~\Library\Calendars
created a clean account on my Mac and synched that with MobileMe to clear my MobileMe calendars
I have had a completely "clean" iCal and it just regenerates and then duplicates
Any ideas?

More or less the same problem. No iCal even installed anymore on my computer, alarms keep popping up. OS X 10.6.8...

ICloud Backup failed. Turn off Airplane Mode or use Wi-fi.

iCloud Backup Failed. Turn off Airplane Mode or use Wi-fi. Airplane mode is turned off and I am connected to wi-fi but still I can't backup. What do I do now?

Hi Barbara,
I just had the same issue.
resolution:
get to your network settings - disable wifi, then enable 3G and cellular connection
Now get back to icloud backup menu and try to enable. of course it wont work. back again to network settings switch wifi back on, and got to icloud again. This time it will allow you to set your backup
cheers :-)

Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Alarm failed Jan1 2012

Alarm failed to activate - was set after midnight new years Jan 01 2012. Is there a fix or just or are we still neck deep in conjecture?
(version 4.2.1 (8c148)
Luckily my colleagues have a sense of humor

Is this a joke, or did it actually fail to activate?
I suggest you report it.

IPhone's alarm didn't go off

Hello, this is not the first time, but my alarm didn't go off today morning... I always have two of them, two minutes apart, those aren't working (maybe once or twice)... but my late night alarm is always working. So what is the problem? Got iPhone 4 with 5.1.1.

Do you have the volume turned up?
If it's only those specific alarms that aren't working, try deleting them and creating a new one.

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

Is there a way to fix this problem?
pplease let me know

Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

ICal Alarms Fail Repeatedly

Since upgrading to Leopard (currently 10.5.7), iCal alarms have failed to appear several times. That is, they work for a while, then stop working. This didn't happen at first. But when it was clear iCal alarms were not working (I ran several tests) I called Apple. The expert had me delete a number of files (Cache folder and several plists) and restart the computer. Problem solved.
Or maybe not. About a week later alarms failed again. I called Apple again, and talked to two experts. The first had me restart the computer. An alarm popped up. Then she had me delete several things and try another test--no alarm. I restarted the computer again and an alarm popped up. A test in a new user account worked, so apparently the software is OK.
Next she passed me to expert #2. He had me make sure iCal and iCal Helper were in the list of startup items. He was certain this would solve the problem. 2 tests (iCal running, iCal not running) both produced alarms. Problem solved.
Or maybe not. Another week has passed and alarms failed again. Tried a test--failure. I restarted the computer and alarms DO work again. But why is that necessary when for years (in earlier versions) it wasn't?
I'm about to call Apple again. But does any expert not employed by Apple have any ideas?

Charles,
Hopefully, Apple will come up with a solution as I'm obviously not the only person having this problem.
I concur, but in order for Apple to be informed of this problem you should also Provide iCal Feedback.
;~)

I have downloaded the latest software but it has set my phone to the incorrect time, 8 hours earlier than it is so alarm didn't go off this morning as I hadn't noticed! Won't let me change time. Apps look like cartoons designed by a child. V unhappy

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.
