Alarms not working in iOS8

My weekday morning Wake-Up Alarms are not working. I have 2 alarms set for 5:00AM and 5:20AM, both set to only go off on Weekdays.
I am wondering if it is because of the Do Not Disturb from 11PM - 6 AM feature, that is on, but it worked fine on iOS 7 and below.
This has started since the upgrade to iOS8 on my old iPhone5 32GB, and now has continued on my iPhone6Plus 64GB phone.
This morning I set an everyday alarm for 5:58AM and it worked, I am gonna try a few more permutations to see if I can narrow it down.

SOLVED for me by restarting my iPhone 5. Power off completely and powering back on.
I had the same issue after updating to iOS8 on my iPhone 5.
No Airplay and Remote Control doesn't work anymore. It worked for a day and then ,,, stopped working.
The Airplay button didn't show up, Remote control couldn't find my iTunes (the screen told me to turn on my Home Sharing, which is, and has been, on)

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.

HondaLink Apps not working in iOS8, was working in iOS7

HondaLink Apps not working in iOS8, was working in iOS7. Any fix?

Easy fix. Rename your iPhone so that the word "iPhone" is not part of the name.
Hondalink will immediately recognize the device. Just spoke with Honda customer service and this is what they suggested. It worked right away.

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!

Alarm not working again??

Hmpf! Hoping someone can help me please!
As per details in previous threads, not long after I got my phone, the alarm started being temperamental - not going off all the time, going off at wrong times, then not working at all. After checking & rechecking everything, installing an alternative alarm to try to resolve it, updating software, etc, I was told to wipe my phone.
Well I think it's been maybe a couple of weeks since I 'wiped' my phone & the alarm was working again, but as of yesterday, it's quit on me again!! Actually the alarm that was already installed when the phone was new is currently still working, but the 'My Alarm' app that I installed has stopped.
Haven't changed anything in the phone in the last week, except that I changed carriers & had to get my phone reactivated to go online, message bank, etc. When I wiped the phone, it wiped the service books & my original carrier couldn't help me(not BB specific plan).
And also, since wiping, the sms icon that comes up on my homescreen with a number to let me know when there are new sms's was visible with '1', regardless of whether there were new sms's or how many. Now, since activating the phone with the carrier, it shows '4' or '5' all the time!(??)
If you're wondering, I have asked my carrier, but their Indian call centre is shocking - I've spent around 4 hrs on hold in the last week & a lot of time repeating myself & having them repeat themselves because we can't understand eachother! When I finally got thru to them yesterday about this, they said general tech support couldn't help & they'd put me thru to the BB specific team, which would be another 25 mins wait on hold.... I went mad & they promised to have them call me back instead, within 2 hrs, which they failed to deliver on.

Location based reminders not working in IOS8 on iphone 5s, please help?

Location based reminders are not working when using Siri since upgrading to IOS8. Asking Siri to "remind me when I get home" also turns off reminders in Location Services. Please help

I have the same issue with Siri turning off the location setting for reminders. In fact my location based reminders do not work at all. IPhone 5s, ios 8.1, upgraded to 8.1.1 and that did not fix these issues.
SEems like Apple does not test the location setting every other upgrade to iOS. They break it, then fix it then break it etc...

ICal alarms not working for delegates

I have a Mac OS X Server 10.5.4 running iCal server. I have successfully setup a couple of users and a delegate for one of the users that has write permissions. The alarms are working for the user but not for the delegate.
I have searched the Mac OS X Server/iCal list and the iCal list with no answer to the issue.
Thank you in advance for your help.

This issue has been solved with the following from Cyrus Daboo. Thank you Cyrus.
I believe that by default iCal ignores alarms on delegate calendars. I think you can change that by selecting the calendar in the list and selecting Get Info from the menu and then toggling an option in the resulting dialog box.

ICal Alarms not working in iPod

Around six months ago iCal alarms stopped working on my iPod.
They do not even show up when I view a To Do or Event on my iPod. This happened all of a sudden and I have never changed any settings other than installing standard updates. I cannot recall if it was around the same time as an update. I use iCal 2.0.5 (1069). I was using a 60G iPod when this occurred. My new 80G has the same problem.
Any ideas? I have searched everywhere(!) to no avail.
I am very keen to get this feature back. Any suggestions most welcome. Thanks in advance!
(This is my first post/question on here. I apologise if I have posted in the wrong place or asked a stupid question.)

Believe me when I saw I have tried everything! I am not technically minded though I have covered all bases. I am just anxious to get this great feature back. It just seems strange that I am the only one with issues. This happened with my 60G then right through to now. I am actually on my second 80G as the first's battery failed after a month.
Is it an issue with my Power Book? I seriously have not change any settings - EVER. Except for the standard updates.
Thanks again for your quick reply Anyone got any ideas?!

Alarm not working correctly

I am having the same problem. I set my alarm for 6:30pm on 12-31-2010 and it failed to ring. I did not think much about this and I set another alarm for 1:15am on 01-01-2011 and it sounded. I set another alarm for 01-02-2011 at 5:15am and one for 5:25am and neither one of the alarms sounded and I was late for work. I also tried setting the recurring days and it worked but I never had to do this before this. I have relied on my phones alarms for almost 12 years and I hope that I do not have to revert back to an alarm clock. Help

Apple has told Engadget that it is aware of the iPhone alarm glitch. "We're aware of an issue related to non repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2. Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3," the Apple spokesperson said.

Hand gesture for closing apps not working in ios8

Since updating to ios8 (latest update), the hand gesture for closing apps (3 or 4 fingers) does not work most of the time On my gen 4 iPad. I have to use the 'home' button to close apps and I hate that it now takes two steps to close a web page in Safari.

its a problem of iOS 8, initially I thought it was because I have an iPad 2 which got ruined by the update, but I then noticed that it appens on the iPad air of my partner to. Moving around with one finger or swiping notification or Center down or the other up restore momentarily the functionality.

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.
;~)

Siri, sounds, video, alarm not working. Need help with backing up my iPad so I can do a factory reset....need help doing that also.

Siri,sounds,alarm, videos not working. How do I back up my iPad and how do I do a factory reset?

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
(How to update your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623)
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new first (to isolate cause of the issue). Then from backup if necessary.

ICal alarms not working after upgrade to Tiger

After upgrading to Tiger my iCal (v 2.0.2) alarms were not working. The solution that worked for me was to go to the preferences file in my home folder and remove "com.apple.iCal.alarmsCache.plist" and "com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist". I removed both at the same time but you may want to try one at a time. Quit mail and then reopen it. After of couple of tests with a message alarm and an email alarm it seems to have solved the problem.

Vicki,
Force Quit iCal, from the  menu by choosing >Force Quit...>iCal.
Paste this text ~/Library into the Finder Menu>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
Then open the Calendars Folder which is in that Library Folder, and move any any files with "Cache" listed in the name field to your Desktop.
Next open the Preferences Folder in that same Library Folder and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
Log out/in or restart and open iCal.
