IOS 7 forgets set alarm sound

After syncing with iTunes my alarm sound is always changed back to the default alarm sound.
I'm using the pick a song option. It is frustrating I have my music to sync manually and I'm not deleting the song from the device.
Was wondering if anyone is having this problem it just seems like an annoying bug with iOS 7. Since I rely on the alarm clock function and I don't want to miss
an alarm.

I have the same problem on my 5. Before the IOS7 update I always used a song as my alarm tone with no issues. Now, with IOS7, my alarm goes off and it has somehow switched itself right back to the default "Radar" tone. Sometimes it doesn't make a sound at all, just vibrates. Which I've heard others having the same issue.
It's very frustrating because I happen to like waking up to a song that I picked instead of some annoying tone and I really don't want to have to use a secondary app. Especially when the alarm app worked just fine before the update.
Another weird glitch: When I change the alarm tone back to my song (alarm>edit>sound>pick a song), like when you are choosing any tone on a phone, it plays it so you know what you are picking, but it keeps playing the song even after I have saved changes and left the app. I have to close out of the app completely to get it to stop playing.

Cannot set a song as alarm sound

Hey there,
I have been trying to set a song as my alarm sound on my Xperia Z but have not been having much luck. I followed the advice that I found on a thread on this website, but it still is not working.
So far I have created a file named "Alarms" and placed a song in that file. The song then appears in my list of potential alarm sounds, but when I select it as the alarm sound, and the alarm goes off, it just plays a default alarm sound, rather than the song that I selected.
I have tried rebooting the phone and clearing my media data as well, but the song still does not play when the alarm goes off. Any other ideas?
Thanks!!

Are you able to play the same song using the Walkman player?
Which build number are you running on?
Have you tried this with other songs as well?

5230: agenda alarm sound: how to set (lower!) volu...

I can't find how to set (lower, it's way too loud for me) the volume of the alarm-sound for the agenda on my 5230.
Anyone ?
I also noticed there is no place to set the 'default' sound, seems the agenda-alarm-settings are "nowhere" (not in profiles anyway, I think) ?

All you can do is adjust the volume on your current profile, go if you want to reduce the volume of your alarm tone, change profile when you set the alarm, and set the ringing volume on the new profile at a volume you are happy with !

How delete Songs in Clock Add Alarm Sound?

In ios 7 under Clock<Add Alarm<Sound, there's a section at the top named 'Songs,' which I don't recall seeing before. There are 3 songs there from my iTunes, and I don't recall ever adding them there. How do I delete them? There's no Edit button there, and the songs are not listed under General Settings<Sound<Ringtones.
Thank you,
William

I was not aware of the fact one could use ringtones as alarms, this will suffice! Although I foresee some very awkward times as the sound does not stop once I respond to the reminder (it keeps going for good five - ten seconds after I "stop" the reminder), but it's better than missing it altogether!
Thank you very much!
Regarding the Alarmed app, doesn't it have to be running to actually remind you?
-Modular747: I don't know anyone who actually reads the terms of service agreement, those things are usually up to thirty, small print pages full of legal jargon. Rules, I do read - not the legal documents (also they often contradict the laws in my country, but that's a whole different story).
I agree with you - the average customer support consultant mostly cares about keeping his job and earning his salary (don't we all?) and thus racking up completted tasks (i.e. getting rid of customers as fast as possible - in a good mood). The "threat" none the less is real, if a cell phone causes me more trouble than it is worth, I will indeed throw it away (I have done so before) - and recommend a different brand to anyone willing to listen.
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple and I've been faithfully using and recommending their producs for twenty years now, not because of fanboyism, but because they earned it. This calendar issue, however, is like a toaster that doesn't automatically eject the toast at the set time. I see it as a major flaw and after googling around a bit I see that it's been around since at least 2007 (THAT'S SEVEN YEARS!!) so I strongly believe they are aware of this problem by now, but are choosing to ignore it for some mysterious reason and it really ****** me off.
I will send the feedback but based on my observations I suspect the Send button is merely a cleverly disguised Delete button.

Anybody else gone to ios 6 and lost sound?!

Upgraded to ios 6 just then and lost all sound?! No idea why...

Hi everyone... I had this issue but seemed to fix it!!Try this...
Go in to the 'Clock' App...
Edit a previously set alarm (may also work if you set a new one)...
Sound...
Select a song from the 'Songs' section...
Save...
As soon as I did this, my volume buttons began to work, and the volume bar was visible in the Music App.
Good luck!

How do you get rid of unwanted alarm sound songs?

Hey guys. I'm stumped. I have an iphone 5 that I recently set back to factory settings so it's cleared out of music. And I don't sync my phone with my itunes library on my macbook as I don't want music on my phone.
BUT I noticed there's 246 songs on my alarm sounds area, where you can pick what alarm sound you want. And they all have the icloud with arrow symbol to the right of them? I don't use icloud for music. I only use icloud for contacts and find my iphone.
How do I delete these 246 alarm songs from my phone?!? I accidentally touched the icloud with arrow symbol on one of the songs and it housed it permanently in my phone's songs app. Help!!!

Not sure how iCloud music with an iCloud icon meaning it has not been downloaded can appear with Show All Music off.
When you restored the iPhone with iTunes, did you restore from the iPhone's backup or as a new iPhone or not from the backup?

Ipod Touch 3G no longer plays clock alarm sounds and just pauses and shows alarm messages.

All of a sudden, I am no longer able to hear clock alarm sounds like I used to. Until recently, I was able to just play a music file, set the clock alarm with any sound from the selection while being able to preview the sound before I saved it, and then have it play at the time I set the alarm. Now, whatever music I'm playing just pauses while the alarm goes off and the alarm messages are visble on screen. I went to settings--->general-->sounds and everything is on. What happened here?

Yes, I did. All I needed to do was raise the volume from zero to above using the *actual buttons on the side* of the device instead of just the touch screen volume control. If you try to adjust the volume using *only* the touchscreen volume control, the sound of your music and videos will be affected directly as you desire, BUT if the volume control from the *actual buttons on the side* is completely down, the alarm clock will not sound.
I hope this helps. It may not make sense right off the bat but do give it a try.

Alarm sounds in my ear when I'm on the phone

I was wondering if there is a way to program my phone so the alarm doesn't sound loudly in my ear when I'm speaking on the phone. Sometimes I receive calls before my alarm goes off. In the middle of the call, the alarm sounds loudly. Is there a setting I can change so that when I'm using the phone the alarm is silenced automatically?

There is no setting for that. You can make a suggestion to Apple at http://www.apple.com/feedback/

How to change the alarm sound for CALENDAR events?

I missed an important meeting today, thanks to the almost-inaudible and incredibly short alarm sound in the Calendar app.
Is there a way to change the alarm sound for events in Calendar?
Setting another alarm in Clock is viable but obviously inconvenient.
Thanks in advance!

Settings > Sounds > Calendar. Maybe it was inaudible because yoursound was not turned up.

Any way to adjust Calendar alarm sound?

Is there any way to adjust the Calendar alarm sound from it's default "Time Passing" setting? Would prefer one of the other ones, but can't see where to change it...

After going to the Apple store I found out that it is not possible even though the manual says it is.
I don't know if they inteded to have this feature and "forgot"..lol...or if they never intended it and just copied and pasted wrong.
It's my biggest peeve with the itouch....hoping they fix it soon...I can't hear the stoopid thing. I also want it to keep sounding the alarm--like it does on the alarm clock so I can make sure I'm actually reminded.

Does the iPhone display turn on when the iPhone is asleep anan alarm sounds

My iPhone was asleep when its alarm sounded. It was in airplane mode (I didn't want someone calling me during the night). When the alarm sounded, I heard the alarm sound and the phone vibrate, but the display itself was still off; I had to press the on/off/sleep button to see it.
Is that as expected?

It's weird -- I set an alarm, put the phone to sleep, and this time the display did turn on when the alarm sounded. Hmm...

X6 wake-up alarm sound getting way too loud

Hi.
First post here, and think last 'cause I haven't found any annoyances besides this.
Using X6 as an alarm clock for everyday wake up call.
The alarm sound just keeps getting too loud that it comes an annoyance in a few seconds (I tend to keep X6 next to me on a bedside table).
Have searched from the phone, but is it so that the Clock alarm "Ringing type" can not be changed as one can change the Incoming call ringing type in Profiles-section (possibilities are here: Ringing, Ascending, Ring once, Beep once, Silent)?
Seems so that those two mentioned aren't even connected to each other, so that if I set Incoming call ringing type as Ringing, still to no avail, because this doesn't affect Clock alarm in any ways (and Clock alarms in Ascending-type).
Any advice on this?
(And could someone tell me, why this has been designed as is now?)
Cheers

wow people normally complain its to low
the volume for an alarm tone is standard it cant be altered the only thing possible is to select another tone thats not high pitched

Can i change the default alarm sound on Iphone 4s

Can the default alarm sound be changed for new alarms. My mother got an Iphone 4s recently and she can use Siri to set alarms for her, however the default alarm sound is always chosen and that is just not a loud enough sound. And it takes a some messing about to change the sound of the alarm and my 60 year old mother has trouble with changing it.
Is there any way i can make it change perminently, any help would be much appriciated.

The default alarm sound is the last sound you used.
