Alarm Problem - 1hr delay

Since the hour change of last Sunday my alarm that was set for 6am went off at 7am. NO WORK!!!

Hi,
same problem here in the UK. Got the iPhone 4 in June...British Summer Time - BST - ended on Saturday night...our iPhones failed to wake us up this morning because although they had automatically updated to the correct time, the repeating alarms continued to think it was an hour later...
I wonder how much money companies will have lost this morning due to iPhone users turning up late for work! ;-/
I have called the UK iPhone support today (0844 209 0611), which costs £0.05 per minute if you are beyond the free 90-day support allowance...and they suggested resetting everything in settings! Or maybe doing a 'restore'. If you're reading this, please call the support line because when I rang they said they had not had any calls about the problem. So the more people who lodge a complaint, the more likely it is that Apple will do something to help us. Have you see forums elsewhere on the internet? It seems this is quite a problem for a lot of people.
Obviously this is not the end of the world but it is a slightly irritating bug

I have problem with delay in serial port

I have problem with serial port. I have connected two computers by serial port and I need to create program in Labview for transfer strings using start bits and stop bits. My problem is that my program is working quite well ...when I press start bit it starts to concatenate strings and if i press stop bits it stops...this is the purpose of this program...but problem is that it working only with delay...and need that this program dont need delay, because it can only concatenating data depends on delay from start bit....I wana solved problem with delay...I dont want using delay process in my program, but allways when I try to delete this delay it stop works correct
here is my program

Ok this should be simple - if I understand you correctly.
You have the VISA session initialized with read termination character enabled. So reading the number of bytes at port is NOT the correct way to read from the port. Set the read number of bytes to something large (say 4096) and the read will return as soon as a termination character is received (or timeout).
You'll need to make sure the sending device is configured to send termination character on writes (you can set that with a VISA property node) and that you are sending the correct termination character. The default is 0x0A (newline).

Missed a flight due to Alarm Problem!

I don't know why apple didn't send out any warning messages to users about this issue. Apple really upsets me!

No, January 1st is NOT when the i Phone alarm problem hit -- Apple has known about this problem since it first showed up on iPhones in New Zealand in October. see this Apple Insider report from last November:
"The new support document [<http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3542>]*, published on Wednesday [11/03/10], comes days after Apple made headlines with an iPhone bug that caused repeating alarm clocks to go off late across Europe. The issue occurred because of a change from daylight saving time, and could repeat itself in the U.S. on Sunday when America concludes daylight saving.
Apple's documentation notes that users can resolve the issue by setting the repeat interval on an alarm to "Never." If users reset their alarm every day, the daylight saving bug will not affect them.
The support note says that after daylight saving ends in the U.S. on Nov. 7, users will be able to set their alarms to repeat again. The iOS issue affects the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G, as well as the fourth-, third- and second-generation iPod touch models.
In October, the same bug caused alarm clocks in New Zealand to go off an hour early. Apple said it was aware of the issue and had already developed a software fix, but it has not yet been released.
This week, Apple released the golden master of iOS 4.2, the next software update for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, to developers. Golden master status suggests that the software is finalized and a release to the public is imminent. It's possible that Apple could release the software update before this Sunday, allowing users who update their iPhone to iOS 4.2 to avoid the daylight saving bug."
*Apple Support doc: <http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3542> posted November 3, 2010, which said:
"Symptoms
In some regions, shortly before or after the daylight saving time (DST) change, repeating alarms created in the Clock app may work incorrectly.
Products Affected
iPod touch (2nd generation), iPod touch (3rd generation), iPhone 4, iPhone 3G, iPod touch (4th generation), iPhone 3GS
Resolution
To resolve this behavior for existing alarms, set the repeat interval to Never. You will need to reset these alarms for each day you need them.
After November 7th, 2010, you can set your alarms to repeat again"
NB: This Apple Support doc was posted 11/03/10, and has not been updated since.
But the problem didn't "fix itself" on 11/07/10, after the DST change, and it didn't fix itself today, January 3, 2011 -- Apple's next promised date that the iPhones would "fix themselves," -- as both my daughter in CT, and my son-in-law in KC, KS can attest: their iPhone "wake-up" alarms both went off an hour late, in different time zones.

iPhone alarm clock glitch: Still not working; iOS bug FAIL
By Richi Jennings. January 3, 2011
Despite Apple's promise that it would fix itself by today, the iOS alarm clock glitch is still making pomaceous owners oversleep. iPhone and iPod Touch alarms stubbornly persist in not working due to yet another bug with alarms. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers rub their eyes in disbelief.
From SkyNews, 01/03/11
An Apple spokeswoman released a statement to Macworld on Jan. 2 saying it was aware of the problem and that the alarm on the £499 ($773) handset would begin functioning normally again Monday.
However, the firm has yet to release a further statement on the problem.

from CNNTech, 01/03/11 ,http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/mobile/01/03/iphone.alarms.mashable/index.html?hpt= Sbin>:
"Apple said yesterday that the failure of its clock app only happens when you set a one-time alarm, and it will somehow fix itself on January 3.
"We have made a call and sent an e-mail into Apple asking why this happened."
From PC Magazine: <http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2374971,00.asp>:
"iPhone Alarms Still Silent On January 3 "Self-Fix" Date"
"Just two days ago, we reported about a frustrating glitch for those using various permutations of iOS 4 on Apple's iPhones—specifically, an annoying bug that was preventing one's mobile alarm from ringing on either day.
"The bug allegedly only affected single alarms set for either January 1 or January 2. According to Apple itself, the company was aware of the issue and was advising users of a crafty workaround—setting recurring alarms for either day, which would bypass the issue for whatever reason. And according to said Apple spokesperson, the bug would allegedly go away on its own come January 3.
Or so we all thought.
"Reuters is now reporting that some iPhone users are indicating that the alarm issue persists, a claim that's being slowly backed up by affected users' Twitter posts."

Yahoo News, UK & Ireland, 01/03/11: <http://uk.news.yahoo.com/22/20110103/ttc-uk-apple-asia-fe50bdd.html>
"Some iPhone users in Asia and Europe complained of malfunctioning alarms on the first working day of 2011, even after Apple reassured users that its phones' built-in clocks will work from Monday.
"Bloggers, Facebook and Twitter users complained they missed flights or were late to arrive at work, as the alarm built into Apple's iPhone failed to go off for a third straight day for some users."

iPhone alarms hit by New Year glitch
Setting New Year single alarms was to no avail
A glitch on Apple's iPhone has stopped its built-in alarm clock going off, leaving many people oversleeping on the first two days of the New Year.
Angry bloggers and tweeters complained that they had been late for work, and were risking missing planes and trains.
Apple has acknowledged the problem and says it will be fixed by 3 January.
The reason has not been given but the glitch appears to affect single alarm settings on the iPhone 4 and earlier models with software updates.
“According to the company, the problem will resolve itself on 3 January, but that is two days late for many people”
Jonathan Fildes
BBC Technology reporter
A similar problem hit the iPhone alarm when the clocks went back in November, again causing many users to be late for work or for transport arrangements.
"We're aware of an issue related to non-repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2," Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison said in a statement quoted by Macworld.
"Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3."
'Two days too late'
"BBC Technology reporter Jonathan Fildes says the problem is embarrassing for Apple, not only because of previous problems that came to light when the clocks changed, but because the company prides itself on the simplicity of use of its products.
"This seems like another simple error, but it cannot afford to have too many before its reputation becomes tarnished, he says.
"Apple should have learnt from that example and seen this one coming, he adds. According to the company, the problem will resolve itself on 3 January, but that is two days late for many people.
"More than 1.7m people around the world had bought iPhone 4 handsets by June 2010, in what was the company's most successful product launch."
DEAR APPLE DISCUSSION GROUP MODERATORS:
This is not a rant, I'm simply reporting the news regarding the situation with the iPhone Alarm function as it stands this morning, 01/03/11. People claiming that this was a new problem as of 01/01/11 are simply wrong, as your own TS doc <http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3542> of November 03, 2010 clearly attests.
It would certainly be helpful to know the latest Apple timetable for the iPhone alarm problem to "fix itself," or if Apple has managed to come up with any workarounds, other than the third-party alarm clock apps that are available for the iPhone.
Best of luck.

Alarm problem ios 8 malfunction

Since upgrading, my alarm won't go off. For years, I've kept my iphone on do not disturb and I still get woken up. My sounds setting is with the volume all the way up and the setting of Change w Buttons is off. At first I assumed it was a wifi problem because I deleted my stored music. So, yesterday I downloaded my wakeup song. Again, today no wake up. No vibration, even though the vibration is on. I haven't found any complaints about this bug. When I finally do wake up, the Alarm function is on the screen, but no vibration or song. Help!

Re: Alarm problem ios 8 malfunction
Yes, I have the same issue. Song only plays once and that's it. (mine is also iPhone 5s on iOS8)
The whole alarm thing on the iPhone is very substandard in that one actually has to find the right buttons/sliders when still half asleep and eyes and mind half closed. Impossible for me, so I still rely on my good old Nokia phone (no SIM card in it but it still does many functions without) as a reliable alarm. It beeps, I press Snooze and it repeats after 10 minutes etc. Easy!
I think the Apple guys should work a bit harder on this topic as I am sure many folks rely on their phone to wake them up. But it is too fumbly and unreliable which is not good enough for such an expensive product.

6120c & Outlook - reminder alarm problem

Quick problem with appoinment alarms.
I have my appointments in Outlook on work PC.
I connect the 6120 to the PC and use Nokia PC Suite to sync it. This works fine and my diary appointments come to my phone calendar nicely.
HOWEVER on the PC I have set many all-day events. When they go to my phone, they come with a reminder alert set, for an all-day event this is 0600. So if I have a reminder such as "Rostered day off" I get woken at 6am to be told about it!
When I go to sync'd appointments on my phone, created in Outlook not ones created on the handset, there is no option anywhere to edit the reminder alarm – but the appointment shows a reminder icon is present!
In outlook, the work day is configured to start at 0800 so I had hoped that that would be the earliest alert time, but no.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Sorry to recover such an old post, but I suffer the very same problem and this is the only information I have found on the forums. I own a Nokia 5310 Xpressmusic with software v10.10, which is synced to Outlook 2010 using Ovi Suite 3.0.0.29. On every friend's birthday, I get woken up at 6am. I searched the forums, specially the Ovi forum, but this is the only reference I found and with no answer.
Is there any update on this problem? Or any configuration to be set in Outlook or the mobile, so alerts get delayed?
Thanks for any help!

ICal alarm problem

I set alarms for most calendar events. They work fine if I have the computer turned on when the alarm is scheduled to go off. However, alarms will not show up if they are scheduled to go off when my Mac is not turned on. For example, if I set an alarm for tomorrow to go off at 10am (for an event later in that day), and I start up my computer at 11am, the alarm doesn't show up. I have the "turn off alarms when iCal is not open" box unchecked. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any help.
The Entourage alarm will show all alarms that were due (or overdue) when I start up my Mac. I'm assuming that iCal should function the same way? Other than this alarm business, I prefer the Mac Mail/iCal/Address Book system, so I would like to continue using them.

Not really, as it works for other people. The next thing I would try is to make a new user, log on as that user, make sure that iCal and Scheduler are in the startup items, and create a couple of events with alarms. Shutdown and restart after the alarms should have fired and log in as the new user.
If the alarms fire, the problem is in some setting or file in your normal account. If not, it is something system-wide. Post back anyway. You can get rid of the new user again - some people keep a spare around for tests like this, but I think it is better for such tewsts to be run in a newly-created account.
I will be away for a couple of weeks, likely with no internet access, so I suggest you start a new topic with a summary of everything tried so far. Maybe someone else will spot something.

5800 alarm problem

My phone has a problem with the alarm, it doesn't ring at the right time, sometime 2 min. late, sometime 15 min. late & sometime even 30 min. late.
I have upgraded the firmware of my phone from v21 to v31 formatted the memory card & the hard reset the phone before update & after update.
It was working properly before the firmware update, is this a problem in the new firmware, if so it needs to be fixed as soon as possible, cause I depend on my mobiles alarm to wake up fro office (currently using my wife phone fro that purpose)

The point is to change it and put something else there. Altering the snooze time has been known to put things like this right.
FWIW, I never had problems like this on V21 but I'm now plagued with them on V30 and then V31. The alarm goes off at the wrong time, the phone exits timed profiles late if at all, and scheduled backups happen only randomly. The firmware is buggy, there's no denying that.

Alarm Tone Loop Delay

The other day, I made a custom ringtone loop and loaded it onto my iPhone. In iTunes, the loop sounded perfect; when I tried the tone as a ringtone, it also worked perfectly. However, when I try to use the same tone as an alarm tone, there is a short pause before the loop, which causes the tone to not loop seamlessly. Is there a reason for this, and is there any way I can fix it, such as editing the tone file?
I tried searching for this on the web, and I kept getting results either for online custom tone makers or the old iTunes ringtone maker.

Alarm problem solve

Most likely it the app notification. Settings nitivications apps and check alarm app and turn nitivications back on. This did it for me. When I got the phone, I turned of some of them and the problem started

E72 CALENDAR ALARM PROBLEM - PLS HELP

I am using a Nokia E 72. sometimes when I set alarm for anniversary event at 9.00 AM the alarm is saved for 14.30 hrs. If I try to edit the entry to correct the alarm time, then also it is being saved for 14.30hrs.
Is it a bug in the SW? Are you also experiencing such problems. Please help me to correct this as the alarm goes on at inconvenient time for most of the entries.

This is what I am getting

Alarming problem with alarms

One of my kids thought it would be amusing to set a raunchy .aif file as an iCal alarm. While it was funny the first time (and at home), it's not something I wanted to keep. I deleted the .aif file and thought that was the end of it. The problem is that the audio file still exists in some sort of cached form somewhere. It still appears as a sound alert in iCal and I can't seem to find any way to delete it from the list of available sounds. Worse, it seems to have taken over the alert sound from every other calendar event. For example, I have a recurring event set to alert me with the Basso sound, yet this vulgar outburst plays instead. It's very embarrassing in the office. I've taken to muting my MBP, lest I get an iCal alert while I'm away from my desk.
Does anyone know where I can find the iCal audio files and how I can blow it away once and for all?

Thank you for you're reply matthieu.
This is what I was fearing, but I guess it's the only option. It's strange though that this possibility doesn't exist. Alarms from PLCs and other equipment is often transferred as bit information in for example some kind of integer. I guess NI has some improvement potential on this one.

Blank Alarm Problem - Can't get rid of them

Hi - first post. I'll dive right in. I have 2 alarms that open up when I start iCal. The problem is neither of them have any writing in them or any of the usual 3 buttons. The only option I have is to close the alarm using the red x in the top left. Of course, this means that every time I start up, the blank alarms come up. Any help would really be appreciated!

Austin,
I got a script error when I hit run. I decided to exercise the nuclear option. Problem is now fixed! Here is what I did:
1 - I exported my 3 calendars: personal, travel and babies (expecting twins in a month!).
2 - I created a new "temp" calendar and deleted the other 3. I quit and re-launched iCal app. No blank alarm... problem temporarily fixed!
3 - I re-imported personal calendar (personal.ics). I quit and re-launched iCal app. The blank alarm re-appeared.
4 - I went through every To Do item and did the following:
a - check "due date"
b - made sure "alarm" was set to "none"
c - unchecked "due date"
At least one "to do" event had an alarm set even though the "due date" had been unchecked. I probably set an alarm and then unchecked due date. I believe this may have caused a corruption somewhere.
5 - I quit and re-launched iCal app. No blank alarm.
6 - I re-imported my other two calendar files (travel.ics and babies.ics). I quit and re-launched iCal app. No blank alarm!
Clearly the corruption was in the "personal" calendar.
FWIW - here is the AppleScript Error I received when I ran the 2nd script you posted: "Can't make «class wr1s» of item 4 of every «class wret» of item 1 of every «class wres» of application "iCal" into type string."
Thanks again for your help. It spurred me to dig deeper.
