IOS 4.2.1 Alarm Problem

So there was a bug with the Alarm system in iOS where the Alarms would go off an hour later than expected after the clock change in the UK. iOS 4.1 allegedly fixed this: however I have a repeating alarm (every Thursday at 8:30am) which STILL triggers at 9:30am. Even today!
Now I have upgraded to 4.2.1 I have been woken for the last two nights by an alarm at 5:00am. This alarm is not even listed in my alarm list (it was one I used in June/July of this year and then disabled before upgrading to 4.0). I cannot access this alarm as it isn't even listed!
I have tried to fix this by deleting all alarms and creating new ones, but my 5:00am alarm still triggered.
Please fix this Mr Jobs!

You are not alone in this matter James. My alarms trigger 30 mins after since 4.2 upgrade.

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.

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."

"iPhone alarm problems persist
By Hayley Tsukayama
Call it Y2K-11. When a bug kept iPhone and iPod touch alarms from sounding on Jan. 1 and Jan. 2, Apple suggested that those having trouble should set recurring alarms, and that the alarms would fix themselves by Jan. 3, the first work day of 2011."
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."
BBC: <http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12104890> 10/02/11, updated 09:14 ET 01/03/11:
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.

Nah... there simply is not iOS 6 Wi-Fi problem with the 4S. I have not experienced any issues and neither has anyone else I know with iPhones.

What is the exact problem or error message?
If you're having issues connecting to the app store, is this the only connection issue? Can you connect to itunes store?
Cannot connect to iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
Try rebooting your ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
Go to settings/itunes and app stores, tap on apple id and sign out. Reboot the ipad and the sign back in the same way.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

I updated my iPad to iOS 6 I face a problem to retrieve my books in the iBooks and the videos as well all the other apps are fine , I am sure I did back up, the books appear for a second in the iBook then disappear? Thanks

I updated my iPad2 to iOS 6 I face a problem to retrieve my books in the iBooks and the videos as well . All the other apps are fine with full data. I am sure I did back up to my friend's mac book pro .The books appear for a second in the iBook then disappear? Thanks

They gave me a brand new phone and I logged into all of my iCloud stuff, etc...
When I try to go onto the Internet it will say its loading, loading, loading, then give up. Pandora has given up after one song. All other apps that need to connect to Internet or networks load and load and then give up. I will double tap the one button and close out all the apps and it may work for a second but no more. Then I will turn the phone off and the same thing happens.
I have run out of ideas.

Since installing iOS 6, I have had problems receiving calls and messages. Calls go straight to answerphone and messages do not appear until I switch off and on again. I have also installed iOS 6.1.1

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons simultaneously, ignoring the red power off slider, until the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. This should not affect any content on the iPad, it is similar to rebooting your computer.

Vivaz alarm problem

Ok so i bought a new Vivaz and because of my working hours i need 2 daily alarms. My problem is even though i press the stop key the alarm will repeat itself at random intervals, sometimes after 15 minutes other times after 37 or 23 minutes, one day the alarm repeated itself after 4 hours and 22 minutes i looked in the settings but i didn't find anything, i even reinstalled the phone software. And the second problem i have is that sometimes when i start the camera and want to make pictures it says that there isn't enough memory and i should stop some applications, but the camera is the only one that is running.
if anyone can help it will be gratly apreciated, thank you

even after updating the software the alarm problem remains ??
whats ur default storage for camera ??
i mean when u take a picture. is it saved in the phone memory or sd card ??

Alarm clock not working in iOS 7 with multiple alarms set.

I usually have two alarms set on my phone, both using the stock clock app. One about an hour before I need to get up (so I can turn the heater on and crawl back under the covers), the other for the time I am supposed to get up. The second alarm works just fine, but the fist one has not gone off for several days. They are not recurring alarms because I need to change the time each day due to my work schedule.
The phone is *usually* in a speaker dock which is plugged into the wall, and works just fine for the purpose of playing my second alarm or any of my music. When not in the dock, it is still plugged in to the charger but uses the built in speakers.
Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone know of a possible fix?
iPhone model: iPhone 5
iOS Version: 7.0.2 (will be updating to 7.0.3 when I return home from business on Nov. 1st)

Use IHome Sleep. It is great!! You don't need an IHome either!!
