Editing the alarm setting

When I place the cursor into the numeric field that specifies the number of hours/minutes/days before firing an alarm, I find that I can't entirely delete any number that's already there. It's as if the field won't -- even momentarily -- allow itself to be entirely empty! I either have to fumble my way to "select all" the previous data before typing in what I want, or append what I want and then go back and delete the unwanted digit. It's curiously irritating. I'd think that, if the goal is to prevent its being empty, it might at least wait until focus has left the field.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks,
Chap
PS - normally I'd search the forum before posting but as you know, search is off.

Noticed it? It drives me bonkers on a regular basis. And 10.5.5 did NOT fix this.
Do the following:
- create a new event, tab thru till you get to the "from" field. It automatically jumps to the AM/PM field rather than the date or at least the time first.
- keep tabbing. Again, the tab jumps not to the time but to the AM/PM field in "to".
- keep tabbing till you get to "alarm" and the number field for the alarm setting. Type "2," realise you made a mistake because you wanted to press "3" and press "delete" - doesn't work.
- press tab again and enter the increments field (minutes, hours, day, etc.). Choose "minutes before" then shift-tab back to the number field. You can now overtype the 2 with a 3. However, if you realise now you wanted a different number, there is no way to change it, short of a shift-arrow combo to highlight the number. You can't delete it.
This is completely lame and feels like a cheapo crap app from the 80's.
Apple, fix this!

Is it possible to edit the alarm popup menu?

I notice that, when I set a new event or to-do, the alarm popup menu has two sections: the top one describes "methods" (Message, Message with Sound, etc.); the bottom one lists a few odd combinations (for example, "Message with sound (Frog) 15 days before").
The items on this second list seem to have been "saved" from earlier choices I made when I set alarms for particular events. But I'd like to edit this list: add certain combinations I like and remove ones I don't use.
Is it possible to do this?
And by the same token, is it possible to edit (add,etc.) options in the popup menus for those little screens that actually "perform" the alarm (stating the message)?
Thanks,
Stuart Sherman

The 1st question might be able to be partially addressed by deleting the preferences files (resetting the defaults)? I'm assuming Apple set some defaults. Alternatively (or additionally) a call to 800-apl-care might get you more info.
The 2nd question: No way known to me.

Does the alarm ever time out?

I have the alarm set daily to wake me up for work. Tonight I accidentally left my phone at work and it's not convenient for me to go back and get it before I go to work tomorrow morning. If it goes off in the morning, will it keep going indefinitely until "Dismiss" is selected? I always turn it off right away and have no idea how long it can go on for.
Hoping I don't have to rush in at the crack of dawn so it doesn't bother all my early-bird coworkers!

Our ADF project Integrated with OAM for SSO, if we set the OAM session time out time is 40 minutes and ADF project session time out time 30 minutes Are you referring to the OAM idle session timeout or total session limit? My guess would be you are asking about the idle session timeout.
and when the ADF project reach the session time out then we relogin the ADF project , and at this time does OAM session time out time will reset to 40 minutes or just left 10 minutes?If there is any update to the session, then the idle timeout counter will be reset to 0.

Nokia E72: "alarm set for later than entry starts"...

Hi,
I have bought recently a E72 nokia.
It replaced my old E50 ...
I have used a lot the "To Do" calendar entry feature to plan some actions on my old E50 Nokia.
I was not well impressed by the E72 "To Do" because if I'd like to re-schedule the ToDo entry I cannot do it and I'm receivieng all the time the "alarm set for later than entry starts" error.
It is crazy because I cannot do anything but just close everything ... abd go to the default screen.
Is this a bug or it is a bad "feature" of the new Nokia E72 ?
How can I re-schedule a "To Do" ?
Is there a different understanding from software point of view between E50 "To Do" and E72 "To Do "?
Thank you for support.

I do experience the same issue with my TODO in Nokia E72. NOKIA are you listening here?

Alarm setting not working since time change.

I use the alarm setting regularly but after the time change for daylight savings time it is an hour off. Does anyone know how to correct this?

Do a reset. Go to Settings>General>Reset. Reset all Settings. You won't lose any files, just some preferences.

Nokia 301 set the alarm tone

Hi,
is there a way to set different clock alarm tone? (I didn't manage to find it in the user guide)
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

farby is righ....
When you are setting the alarm time, if you scroll down there is an option to set the Alarm tone - Standard, Radio, Open Files, Tone downloads.
Use Open Files > Alert Tones and there are some different tones you can use there.
Edited to add: And while mucking about with it myself, up popped the message that you can switch your phone off at night and the alarm will still go off to wake you up. That's a nice feature.... though considering all the questions about battery life, how will that work!? Just checked the 206 does this too, is this a general feature of Nokia phones?

Changing the alarm window printout (Set!)

When an alarm comes in I need it to only print the alarm and not the (reset) and (acknowledge) or better yet a way to add 3 unique characters after the Set! In the printout. This is for an external dialer to be about to distinguish between alarms and a reset. Thanks Kevin

Hello Kevin,
I don't think there's a way to edit which Alarms are printed in Lookout. You can filter out events, or even certain columns that are printed, but to only print some alarms isn't an option. There's also no way to add characters to the printout of the Alarm.
Are you printing directly to the printer as Alarms and Events occur? What do you mean by an external dialer?
Regards,
Vineet A.

Yes we are printing alarms only to a Zetron 1570 dialer, this device looks at the ASCII text stream and when it detects a pre-selected string it will start dialing on the call list for that alarm. The problem that I have is that (Set!) is the only part of the alarm that indicates a new alarm. So I need to use (Set!) as the search string then the description can be used for the type of alarm. By only being able to use one indication of a new alarm, limits this dialer's ability to use more then one call list. If we only used the description of the alarm, this would allow us more than one call list. But when the alarm is (Reset) and (acknowledged), Lookout sends the string out again so the dialer thinks it is a new alarm and starts the dialing all over again. This is the reason for the need to be able to add more characters to (Set!) or eliminate the reset and acknowledge printout.
Thanks Kevin

Can I edit the size of my photo when setting up an email signature?

Can I edit the size of my photo when setting up an email signature?

Not sure what you mean by "photo screen?" Do you mean your Photo Stream?
In the Photos app there are several ways to view the photos. Tap on Albums. Your Photo Stream is one Album but there may be others including the Camera Roll, albums made on the iPad with photos from the Camera Roll, and albums of photos copied to your iPhone by syncing with your computer.
To remove albums from the Camera Roll, tap on the Camera Roll album to see the small thumbnails of the photos there. Tap on Select, tap on the photos to delete, then tap on the trashcan. The photos will then be moved to another album called Recently Deleted. They remain there for 30 days to allow you time to reconsider whether you really want to delete them or not. After 30 days they will automatically be deleted from your iPhone. But if you are sure you want the photos deleted from your iPhone delete them again from the Recently Deleted album.
Albums created on the iPad with photos from the Camera Roll can be deleted in the same way.
To delete albums copied to your iPhone by syncing with your computer running iTunes are deleted by doing another sync. But before you click on Sync deselect the albums in iTunes. Then when you click on Apply or Sync the albums will be removed from your iPhone but they will remain on your computer.

My iPod touch 3rd generation won't play on my iPod dock when the alarm I set goes off. It plays normally and charges, but it won't work with the alarm. Could it be the iPod dock or my iPod?

My iPod touch just recently started doing this: I plug it in to my Sony iPod dock/alarm clock/radio. It charges fine and plays music fine, but when I set the alarm for it to go off, it doesn't go off. I can see that the dock is indicating that the alarm is going off, but the iPod isn't playing music. Could it be my iPod or the dock?
Also, there were 2 times when I plugged in my iPod to charge (once with a wall charger and once with the dock) and it said that it was fully charged. But it wasn't fully charged. I bought one of those iPod wall chargers from Target. It's not an Apple charger, but it is for iPods. Could it be that?
I'm going to try to reset my iPod and see if that helps any.

I have contacted apple support and Bose support. When I have heard back will post for everyone. I do encourage everyone to contact both companies until we get an answer to hopefully solve this issue. The more people who contact them about the issue, maybe the better chance they will help fix the issue.

I have several recuring alarms set up on my calendar for each day of the week. In the past few weeks, an alarm will occasionaly notify me roughly 15 minutes to an hour and a half late. These daily alarms are identical and repeat every day.

I have several recuring alarms set up on iCal for each day of the week. In the past few weeks, an alarm will occasionaly notify me roughly 15 minutes to an hour and a half late. These daily alarms are identical and repeat every day and there seems to be no apparent pattern to why or when an alarm happens after the event is past.

I assume you meant iCal rather than iTunes? Yes, iCal the time zone is correct. The delayed alarms only happen sporadically. Since I posted this message, the problem stopped happening every day at the same time, but it still happens occasionally with no rhyme or reason as to when. It's gotten so that I can't depend on my iCal alarms anymore.

I want to set the mailto app for google apps gmail.

Set 3 related config values to "true" as per instructions (network.protocol-handler.expose.mailto ; network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto ; AND, third, gecko.handlerService.allowRegisterFromDifferentHost.
Does not work, no Google Apps in the mailto app spot.
Tried javascript method in address bar without success:

Any light anyone can shed will be appreciated. Cheers, jlf

Great howto Steve! This further increased my understanding of the MVC patterns used by BC4J.
Some remarks:
[*]Select New Business Components...
This should be 'New Business Components Package', or you won't be able to add business components.
ename as "Name",
sal as "Salary"
from emp
where empno = ?That should be deptno.

Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone?

Is there a way to pre-set the alarm volume on iPhone? Every evening I have to remember to adjust the volume to 3 bars, versus full volume during the day.

I cannot believe this problem hasn't been rectified yet!
If I use the pre installed ringtone as an alarm and set it low so I don't jump out of my skin, then my call volume is too low the next day, so have to change it.
If I use a song as an alarm, I have the same problem, but its when I watch a video. I set it quiet, then jump out of my skin the next morning if I've left it tuned up after watching YouTube. Also works the other way if I've watched a video with the sound down, and forget to turn it back up, then I don't hear my alarm, which makes me late!
It could also do with an ascending volume option, so it starts nice and quiet to wake you gradually. My old phones from pre iPhone days had these features and they worked great.
Surely this isn't that much of an issue to sort out. Yet I've seen posts back as far as 2006 complaining about it.
Come on apple pull your finger out!
