Clocks App Unusable

I set an alarm to wake me up at a certain time. I know that I set the alarm to make certain sound when it went off. When I woke up, I grabbed my phone to look at the time and I see that my alarm is going off and has been for the last two hours. Aparently, even though my phone was not making any noise or vibrating, the screen that has "tap to snooze" and so on was showing. For some reason, I hit the "tap to snooze" button. When the alarm went off this time, it had sound.
If I wanted this to occur, is there anyway I could make it happen? If not, has anyone else had a similar problem? Have you found a solution or do you just not use your iPhone as an alarm clock?

YES I have this same problem and it is INFURIATING! I have tried every kind of setting. Deleted alarms and reset. Tried setting alarm through Siri voice commands. It only actually makes sounds maybe twice a week if I am lucky.
Every day without fail it shows that YES the alarm is activated and I have the option to snooze, but there is NO SOUND or VIBRATING happening. Sometime if I snooze then the sounds will happen, but almost never will it make sound at the initial time it is set for.
So much for Apple products "just work".

Problem with Timer in Clock app in IOS 8

I've noticed an interesting change, a bug I suspect, in the Timer part of the Clock app in IOS 8. If I set a timer for say, 5 min, and I happen to check the timer before the alarm sounds, so it is showing on the iPhone, the alarm goes off, But I cannot stop it, cancel it, whatever. I have to go back to the home screen to tap done. This wasn't the behavior before. I suspect is shouldn't be now. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas on how to fix it?

I have a reproducible bug with the alarm in iOS 8.0.2 on iPhone 5. If the alarm goes off when the phone is sleeping I normally can silence in 3 ways: 1) use "tap to stop" on lock screen; 2) use power button to return to sleep mode; 3) use vibrate switch to turn ringer off. However, if I inadvertently swipe down to access notifications when the alarm is going off, when I return to lock screen the alarm can no longer be silenced by 1 & 2 listed above (only 3 will work). Powering off will also work, although I have read here that some are having the alarm remain on even after reboot. I can reproduce this problem as often as I attempt.

Problem with alarms in clock app

I set an alarm for 7:30 am for Saturdays and Sundays, but the alarm sounds at 6:30. it shows up as "weekends" properly, and my phone is set to the correct time and time zone and daylight savings is correct. I checked to make sure that it was from the apple clock app by changing the sound, and I tried deleting and adding a new alarm, but it keeps going off an hour early.
is there a better solution than switching to a 3rd-party app?

I'm having this exact problem too

I would like to know, on the ringtone page, where you can select songs out of your music library, is there a way to remove a song from the list after its selected? I would thin there would be a way to "delete" the songs from the list. (Clock app)

Let me explain:
In the clock app for ios 6.0.2 I am a little confused. It allows you to go into your music library, and create a ringtone using any songs you choose. However, I cannot find a way to remove a song from this list, just like I cannot delete one of the preset ringtones (which I'm not trying to do, but just as an example)
Thanks for your time! If you need more information just ask.
(I believe both my iPod and iTunes are up to date)

I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
Hope it will be helpful

First day of week in Clock app - Alarm

I changed the first day of week to Monday in Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Start Week On. However, it still shows Sunday as the first day in Clock -> Alarm -> Repeat -> Weekdays. How can I set Monday in the Clock app? Thanks.

Here's an old post, don't have time to confirm still true
'm been looking around and trying to find out about the function
"firstDayOfWeek", but I now finally found out it is much easier than that.
Solution:
Find the CssResources_xx.properties file (where xx is the language you
want to change for) in the
tomcat\4\webapps\gw\WEB-INF\classes\com\novell\webaccess\templates\css
directory.
Look for Calendar.Week.startDay=1 and change that to 2 for Monday. Do
this for all language properties files you need.
Stop and start tomcat and voil*.

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.

Ios7 clock app I can no longer see the time or cell signal at the top of the screen.

I just updated to ios7 I have the iphone 5.
I can no longer see the cell signal or time at the top of the clock app. I actually have to leave the clock app to see what time it is or try to read the analog clocks in the time zone section. I have a friend with a 4s, and they can still see the stuff at the top of the screen. Help? Is this a bug, or is there a setting I can change?

This is what it loks like...no time or cell signal at the top

Daylight saving & Clock App

In Australia we have just switched to daylight savings time and my 3G iPhone running version 4.1 change the internal clock perfectly. The odd thing is that the alarm function in the standard clock App supplied with the phone, is going off an hour early!! Has anybody else experienced this and if so is there a fix?

We are having the same issue in our house. We have 3 Iphones (two 3GS and one 4) and reseting like this unfortunately does not fix the problem. The problem exists only with alarms that are set for a repeat (i.e. weekdays) and has only happened since daylight savings kicked in on Sunday morning . If you set an alarm on its own with the setting "never" in the repeat field the alarm should work fine. This is obviously a software issue that needs to be fixed and can't be fixed by a simple reset. I have tried everything from creating a new alarm to reseting the phone etc without any success. This problem is mostly likely linked to another issue users are having of alarms not going off at all over this weekend in Australia and also the issue of Iphones in Queensland changing time automatically even though Queensland does have day light savings.

Trouble with Alarm Clock app

anyone out there use the Alarm Clock app? it looks great its easy to set up but mine didn't go off this morning (good job i had a back up!)
it says to set the alarm and leave it running in the background i did this but nada - nothing
anyone else have this problem and did you find a solution please?
thanks!

Are you referring to the built in clock app that comes on the phone, or a 3rd party app from the app store? I've had mixed results with anything other than the inbuilt clock app when it comes to alarms.

Ipad clock app ios7 accidentally deleted

I deleted my clock app on my ipad mini using ios 7.1, Can anyone advise me how I can restore it to my home screen. The only way I can open it at the moment is through siri. Thanks

It's a built-in app so it can't be deleted (or you shouldn't be able to), and I'm not aware of Restrictions settings that will hide it. Can you find it via the iPad's spotlight screen : pull down the centre of the iPad's home screen ? If not then have you tried a soft-reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Clock app stopped

I noticed yesterday that the clock app that came with the phone will just go to blank screen when i try to use it. Then it comes up with an error "Unfortunately, Clock has stopped". i have very little apps on my phone, and haven't installed anything new in over 30 days. so it isn't a new app causing it to crash. I have rebooted twice, pulled the battery waited for about 5 minutes, put it back in and i am still getting the same problem.
anyone else having this issue?
i did notice the alarm i had set is still showing up in the task bar at the top of the phone, but i have no way to access it to turn it off or adjust it.

Hi godfatherdaddy!
Lets get to the bottom if this alarm error! First, go to Settings>Applications>All>Alarm clock, then clear cache/data. This will reset the app and correct the error message.
Keep me posted!
Thanks,

Clock app: How can I shorten the time that the alarm goes off?

I use the alarms in the basic clock app. They always work. The problem is when the ipod is not in my immediate possession. I have an alarm set to go off at noon. Today it chimed until I could get to it at 12:11. Isn't there a way to tell it to ring for 15 seconds, 1 minute, etc? It just goes and goes until I get to it.
All other third party apps look like you need to remember to leave their app running. If I would remember that, I probably would not need the alarm, unless I used it exclusively for waking up.

Sorry it is not possible to adjust the alarm ring time.

HT1688 So i realized that I deleted the standard Clock App on my

I realized that I accidentally deleted the standard Clock App from my iphone..I was not aware that this app could even be deleted but one day, it was no longer on my phone! How can i get this app back?

More likely is you've moved it or put it in a folder collection. Do a search.

Is it safe for iPhone to run alarm clock app and be on all night, every night?

Is it safe for the screen to be on all night every night running an alarm clock app? Yes it is plugged in and charging.

I use the builtin alarm clock app all the time without any problems.
I don't plug the iPhone in because it appears to use very little battery while it is sleeping.

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#
cheers
