How do I select an alarm song without it playing?

First off I live in a dorm with two other people. Occasionally when I go to set my morning alarm I find myself needing to choose a new song (once I've gotten used to a song I can sometimes sleep through it). However upon selecting the song my phone can't seem to help but play the entire thing without ceasing, at a VERY loud volume; a particularly annoyig problem when setting an alarm at 11:00 at night. The silence switch doesn't seem to help and neither do the volume control keys. Any way to select an alarm without it playing the song you've chosen?

This is what page 139 of the manual says
Change sound settings: Go to Settings > Sounds. Available options include:
Set whether iPhone vibrates when get a call.
Set whether iPhone vibrates when you turn on silent mode.
Adjust the ringer and alerts volume.
Prevent the side buttons from changing the ringer volume.
Set the ringtone. To set a ringtone for a person, go to their card in Contacts.
Set alert and other tones.
Turn on keyboard clicks and a sound for when when iPhone locks.
Those settings have everything to do with what happens when the phone receives a call nothing to do with the alarm

    I could not find an option to "report a problem".
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • Recently downloaded a whole cd on itunes. However, as it was downloading one of the songs was interrupted and didn't fully download. How do i get the whole song without having to pay again?

    I recently downloaded a whole cd on itunes. However, as it was downloading one of the songs was interrupted and didn't fully download. How do i get the whole song without having to pay again?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music then you will need to contact iTunes Support - try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • How do I select only certain songs from itunes library to upload to my iphone?

    Trying to free up some memory and my whole itunes library is loaded on my phone.  Is there a way to select only certain songs to sync with my phone?

    When your iphone is connected to iTunes, go to the phone section, go to options and then select "Sync only checked songs and videos".  Then go to yotur iTunes music library, and check only the songs you want.  If you are viewing the library in the "songs" option the check boxes are next to the songs.  If you are viewing from the "album" view, you have to right-click each song and select check.

  • How do you get iTunes purchased songs to automatically play one after the other

    How do you get iTunes purchased songs to play automatically one after the other without having to hit play for each song ? Also I lost all my pictures on my iPad when I installed iOS 7 upgrade. Any way to get them back? Thanks. Dr Ron.

    Hi Dr. Ron,
    By your question, I am wondering if you are playing your music from the iTunes app rather than the Music app?
    In the Music App, you can go to any of the options at the bottom and click on a song to play and it will then continue to play the songs in that category. You can also select "Shuffle" to shuffle them.
    As for your Photos, did you have them backed up anywhere?
    Cheers,

  • Is there a way to choose a song without altering play mode?

    I recently got an Ipod Nano 16g and its my first i-product. I gotta say, the whole searchable database method of organizing songs is kind of counterintuitive to me, especially in how it relates to play mode and song searches.
    For example, I downloaded the recent series of Mp3's from Phish's 3 days in VA. There are three different albums, each with multiple discs. If I use the album browsing feature where you tilt the thing sideways to look through the albums and their cover art, its easy enough to find the first of the three albums.
    Ok, great, it plays. But it only plays the first disc worth. I want it to continue to the next one.
    Is there any way to enable a mode so that no matter what song you choose to play, it will "just continue to the next song in the 'all songs' playlist"?
    That's all I really want to do. I have a lot of MP3's and unless I'm listening to a specific album, I like keeping it on "random". Sometimes I want to listen to a specific song, but no matter what method of search I do for that song, it seems to change the play mode.
    Like, I search by album as described above, it will only play that album. If I search by artist, it only plays songs from that artist. If I search for a song, it only plays that one song, even if I have random mode enabled. If I go into the "now playing" playlist, I can click forward and backward until I come across the song I want but that is crazy tedious when there's 2k songs to go through.
    All I want to do is be able to search for a particular song, play that song, then continue on with what it was doing before, either "all songs" or songs from a particular playlist. Every other media player I've ever encountered, including my car stereo (via USB flash drive) works that way. I'd set up the ipod in "disk mode" for my car, but then I couldn't use the ipod as an ipod, not to mention the car stero recognizing the ipod as an ipod so I couldn't access the songs anyway.
    I'm hoping there's something simple I've overlooked, maybe one of the menu options I don't fully understand.
    Thanks for any help!

    There are several points in your post.
    I like keeping it on "random".
    If you want to play any list in shuffle mode (which is random order), go to the Settings screen on the iPod and set Shuffle to Songs.
    Ok, great, it plays. But it only plays the first disc worth. I want it to continue to the next one.
    In iTunes, you can create a new playlist. You do so by clicking the + (plus) sign at the bottom left corner of the iTunes window (or from the File menu). Name the playlist appropriately. Put all the songs you want (in this case the songs in this collection) in the playlist, by dragging and dropping them (to the playlist) from the main iTunes music library. After syncing the iPod, instead of playing the album, play the playlist.
    You can also change the way this particular collection is categorized in iTunes. Go to the main Music listing under LIBRARY in the iTunes sidebar. Click on the list heading for Artist (or Album ) so that you can see all of the songs from this collection together. You can edit what iTunes has in the album field for each song so iTunes that considers all the songs to be in one album, if you want to do something like that. How the songs are organized on the iPod depends on how they are organized in iTunes.
    it will "just continue to the next song in the 'all songs' playlist"?
    You will have to show a list on the iPod (either a playlist or a by-artist list or a by-album list) that shows ALL the songs you want to eventually play. Then the iPod will play that list, either sequentially or in shuffled order. If you want it to continue playing after playing through the list, you can set, on the iPod's Settings screen, Repeat to All.
    All I want to do is be able to search for a particular song, play that song, then continue on with what it was doing before
    I think creating playlists is the answer. Then you'll get your favorite songs.
    However, if you want to pick a starting songs and make it play continuously through your entire library randomly, its
    Music -> Songs -> pick song to play
    To make it play that list in shuffle mode, set the Shuffle setting to Songs.
    If you just want to start a shuffled sequence at a random song, select +Shuffle Songs+ from the iPod's main screen. With the 4th gen nano, you should also be able to shake it to start a shuffled sequence. This plays all of your songs in a random order.
    There is also the Genius feature, where you can choose a starting song and let the iPod create a playlist of 25 songs that +work well+ with that starting song. A very cool feature I use often.

  • How coan I add a new song to now playing by double-click in Creative Medis Source

    This is my problem. Can I change it somehow in settings?
    I used to use PlayCenter or other Creative players
    and it always worked like that by double-click
    I was able to add a new song directly to ,,now playing list".
    In MediaSource 5 when I double-click on a song
    this softwere automaticly earase all the songs in ,,now playing".
    So playings songs from f.e. C:\music.. by double-clicking
    always delates all the list

    "Don't you think that double click should play the track immediately rather than add the track to the Now Playing list?"
    Thats not exactly what he is saying....when you double click a file it should play immediately AND add it to the playlist. I agree with what the original poster is saying...MediaSource 3 and all other previous versions did this...and now MediaSource changed it for the WORSE.

  • How do I select an e-mail without opening it?

    Sorry if this is already answered, I couldn't find it anywhere.
    When I get a new e-mail I go to the inbox and see that it's junk mail. It has the blue dot next to it showing that it has not been opened. How do I send it to the junk folder without selecting/opening/reading it? This is a problem because I am led to believe that the spammers know if their message was read and will send more. If I control-click on it and send it to Junk it still marks it as read.
    Thanks.

    Hello Ariel.
    The Mail.app does not support requesting a delivered or read receipt for messages sent by the Mail.app nor does it provide a delivered or read receipt without your knowledge when requested by the sender so this is no concern with the Mail.app.
    To protect yourself from spammers, do not automatically render all HTML received. If a spammer's HTML includes embedded images and/or objects, there is a potential you are notifyng the spammer your email address is valid when any HTML is rendered. This is often done by embedding your email address in the HTML links (particularly for graphics). When your mail application connects to the Internet to load graphics from the spammer's Web site, the spammer can log your address as "known good."
    If the Mail.app automatically marks a message as Junk, it will not automatically render any HTML included in the message when the message is opened but if you prefer to tightly control your email address, turning off HTML rendering is a good idea. If the HTML is not rendered, then no request is sent to the spammer when viewing the mail.
    If you choose to turn off HTML rendering, beware that clicking any link in the unrendered message may compromise your identity. When viewing a spam message, do not click on any link that contains any portion of your email address. If the link appears to include encrypted data (looks like random characters), this could also be your email user name.
    Follow these steps to turn on or off HTML rendering, as desired:
    1. Open Mail.
    2. Choose Mail > Preferences.
    3. Click the Viewing icon in the Preferences window.
    4. Select or deselect (as desired) the checkbox for "Display images and embedded objects in HTML messages".
    If there is a valid message that contains HTML that must be rendered from a remote server, select the Load Images button at the upper right of the message window below the message header.

  • How can I select and delete messages without T'bird opening each one as it is selected?

    Well, that says it.... if I select a message, say, to delete it because the subject line says "If you open this message, your computer will be instantly infected with every known malware" - - woops! the Thunderbird setup just opened it.
    -- I need to select for deletion without opening -- Am I totally missing something??

    Under the heading of my "totally missing something", I had a suspicion that T'bird would guard against what I was concerned about.... Nice to have that confirmed.
    Also good to have the F8 tip for future use.
    Thank You - from the cowtown -

  • HT203433 I purchased a song and only the first 10 seconds downloaded.  How do I download the entire song without paying for it again?

    A purchased song only downloaded the first 12 seconds.  I do I download the song again since it is already been paid for.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • How do I select to simultaneously stream (airtune) and play on my computer?

    Hi everyone. So I keep reading that as of last January '06 (6.0.2) iTunes will let you stream to remote speakers and play the same song simultaneously on the computer's speakers. How do I do this?!? I have searched everything and everywhere (these forums, macosxhints, the usenet forums) for over 30 mins now and no one mentions "how" to do it, just that it can be done. That is, once everything is setup, is there a mystery screen that says "click here for both at once"? Am I supposed to right click on anything in particular?
    iTunes only lets me select one at a time - on the bottom right of itunes, I have the box that lets me choose my remote speakers ("livingroomstereo") or my computer speakers ("computer"). But again, it only lets me click on one, not both...
    I have: iMac G4, iTunes 7.0.2. My airport express is at v6.2 firmware. I use a linksys wrt54g as my base, and the airport express works perfectly as a client.
    What is the mystery! I feel that something is missing since no one describe how to select multiple ones at once so that it must be totally obvious. And that leads me to beleive that I am not "missing" it, it just isn't there....
    Here is the useless Apple FAQ:
    Can my AirTunes stream play through my computer's speakers at the same time?
    Answer: Yes. With iTunes 6.0.2 or later, you can play through both the computer speakers and multiple remote AirPort Express units, provided that each AirPort Express has the latest AirPort firmware (available here). The maximum number of remote AirPort Express units is three to six in typical conditions. The number that works for you will depend on your environmental conditions (such as building composition and local radio interference), distance to the remote AirPort Express units, and available network capacity relative to your other usage.
    I hate things that tell you that you can do a particular thing, but then dont tell you how to, or at least don't tell you how to find out how to do it...
    Thanks!!!

    Ah man. thank you.
    I hope Apple fixes the indirect problem with their FAQ. On their faq (that I excerpted below) they provide a link to check and DL the newest software and firmware. I went through their "check" and gave me the thumbs up...
    Thank you for pointing out the problem..

  • How to remove an Alarm Song from Alarm Sound list?

    When using the standard Clock app, how do I remove an alarm song from the Alarm sound list under Edit Alarm? I can add new songs, but cannot find a way to remove unwanted ones.

    The two most played songs are added by default, & there is a limit of 5 songs that can be added. The only way to remove a song is to keep adding a new song until the one you want removed is removed.
    Tell Apple you want better control of this here:

  • TA26488 My iPod Classic 160GB goes from song to song without playing.

    I have an new generation (less than 1 year old) iPod Classic 160 GB that will not play any songs.  All the artists and songs appear to be on the hard drive, but will not play.  In fact, when you press play or shuffle it just continuously goes on to the next song without ever playing.  Any ideas...?

    Reset the iPod, it wont delete any music in your iPod.
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
