IPhone 5 alarm clock failing

My iPhone 5 fails to go off with sound at my set alarms, but some work but others don't. And suggestions?

I have the same problem, except my phone wasn't plugged in. I leave it next to my alarm clock when I sleep and every few minutes I hear static - not like when the phone is on vibrate, but static like from a radio. I used to put my 4S in the same spot and never had the problem and my clock radio is off. The sound is definitely coming from the iPhone 5.

IPhone alarm clock fails when volume off

I set my alarm to wake me up this morning. It went off, but made no sound. I'd turned my iTunes volume low.
Surely it makes sense for the alarm clock to, by default, make a sound?

Not sure if you figured this out yet, but on my iPhone 3gs, I am able to turn the system volume all the way up (using the physical buttons on the left side), then turn my music on in the iPod app, lowering the volume using the iPod volume controls. Even when volume is set all the way down in the iPod app, I still hear the alarm as loud as my system volume was last set. Try it out, hopefully it works for you too.

Iphone alarm clock makes no sound

The day after daylight savings my iphone alarm clock stopped making any noise. Its very stressful and im sure its not on silent, do not disturb. The ringer and volume are all turned up it just doesnt even vibrate. Its not that it doesnt say there is an alarm, the screen will turn on and say an alarm is present but it just wont make any noise or vibration ): . This happened right after daylight savings and ive had enough is anyone else having this issue. I really dont want to restore it just is so much work. I mean i will if i have to but has anyone come up with an easy solution?

Have you tried resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Slide to Unlock screen redisplays, go into your Alarm, edit it, and see if the sound is playing correctly when you select the alarm sound.
You can also try editing it to a different alarm sound to see if that is working.

IPhone alarm clock via speakers

Hey,
I wanted to ask if the sound of my iPhone alarm clock is transmitted to speakers while it's connected with the Apple Universal Dock. I tried it with a 3.5mm wire but no sound was transmitted.
Does anybody have some experience with the iPhone alarm clock and speakers?
Thank you very much
Philipp

you should get a Kicker and download the kicker kickstart app great sound loud sound and an alarm

Alarm clock fails on 2011

this morning my alarm clock fails to set-off almost causing me to be late for work.. and i've been trying to set it off but it still doesnt work, did anyone has the same problem?

Hi, all...
The iPod Touch alarm function is, indeed, failing on many machines as of January 1, 2011. The current fix, according to several blogs, is to set a repeating alarm that includes the first two days of 2011--so Saturday and Sunday. This fix worked for me.
Apparently the problem is to be dealt with by January 3, but there is nothing on Apple's website that confirms this rumour...

My iPhone alarm clock is not working. Anyone else?

My iPhone alarm clock is not working. I have the latest software: 6.2.1. I set my alarm at 11:30 pm to go off at 12:30 am and 3:30 am, neither went off. I actually wok up right before 3:30, open up the clock app to see if my alarm was on and both the alarms were set to off. I have been having trouble with alarms similarly the last week or so.

Hi Homer,
I would suggest a re-install of the iPhone to fix this issue.
Make sure to do a full backup of the iPhone before you do this otherwise you may lose some of your data

Alarm clock Fails to ring

There is an annoying bug with the Nano alarm clock whereby it fails to ring, and I hope there is a fix for it.
I get this behaviour mostly by doing the following:
Set a recurring alarm to say 7
After midnight on the date of the alarm and before it is due to ring, change the alarm time to one hour earlier.
result is that the alarm fails to ring.
This is a 5th gen Nano. Any fixes out there?

thx, but it has external speakers though it is hooked up to a Bose system overnight.
The alarm does work the mojority of the time, but in some situations (such as outlined above) does not

Iphone alarm clock didn't work this morning

I set a one-time alarm two days ago and it worked (it went off at 8:20am). This morning at 1:00am, I turned this alarm on again. But it didn't go off. So I did a test: set the alarm time to 10:00am and the alarm didn't go off. Fortunately, I used my wife's phone as a backup.
So the alarm problem is not fixed by itself (The claim by apple that it would be fixed automatically after Jan. 3rd is not true). It seems that this problem only happen during weekend?
The clock app on iphone is just a toy, don't count on it!!! Apple don't have any programmer to fix this problem or just don't care about the users. Apple is becoming another Microsoft.

Apple does care about this issue, the problem is being worked on.
For anything remotely important ALWAYS use a real alarm clock. Never depend on any cell phone for critical functions.
The alarm clock on my iPhone is working perfectly.

IPhone alarm clock display order

Is there a way to change the list order of alarm clocks?
I'd like them to be listed in chronological order, with the soonest date/time first.
The way it is right now seems to be based on time only, not taking the day/date into account at all.
I use the alarms like a task/to-do list sometimes, and it'd be more helpful if it showed me the list in "upcoming order".

No, the order cannot be changed.

IPhone Alarm Clock issue after iOS4.0 upgrade

This is a strange one;
Upgraded to i0S4.0 couple of days ago, and since then the default alarm clock app has gone haywire. It has duplicated each of my alarms (I must've had about 9 in there fore various things) about 50 times.
If I try and delete them, they disappear but if I exit and then re-enter the app, they're all there again!
Any suggestions?
Cheers.

I'm having the same issue. I had 8 or 9 legitimate alarms set, as well, but now there are somewhere between 1500 and 2000 with a couple hundred duplicates of each one. The number of duplicates is growing, too, but I can't tell if the additions happen each time I sync the phone or each time the clock program is reloaded on the phone. I noticed this first on my 3G after upgrading it, and it is also happening on the iPhone 4 having all my data transferred from a backup made of the 3G running 4.0. I've also noticed that if I try to delete them from my phone, at some point the clock program becomes nearly unresponsive causing even other programs than the clock to crash and requiring the phone to be resynced.
I've seen a couple of people mentioning similar issues in other threads that sound like they could be related or even the same, and they are always talking about upgrades on the same phone. There doesn't seem to be anyone affected who transferred directly from a 3.x device to a new 4.0 device.
While not a solution, here's at least my suggestion of why it's happening. I've poked around a bit in the backup files stored on my laptop from this phone (under ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync), and I've found two different plist files in the same backup storing the alarms in two slightly different formats.
This is purely conjecture, but I would guess what happened is the location & format between 3.x and 4.0 of where the alarm data is stored changed. The "upgrade" isn't a complicated process that mulls over and handles situations like this during the install. It's just a wholesale firmware replacement. Any changes like this would probably need to be handled by the actual programs themselves when they're running on the phone. Something in the upgrade process that's supposed to translate the old format to the new format is broken leaving behind the old data instead of removing it after the conversion, and every so often some trigger in the clock program (like a check for new data after a sync or just the initial loading when the phone restarts) is causing it to see that old 3.1 style data still there, redo the conversion process, and reimport what it finds as another set of duplicates.
That's only a guess, though, and as it's a one-way backup-only folder I can't edit them and resync to see if cutting them out of the data files on the laptop will remove them from the phone. Even if this is wrong, though, I can't imagine how it could be anything too far different from this. That would be a very simple bug to introduce into the code that would be specialized enough to be easy to overlook in testing. Again, that's all just a guess.
While I'm making wild speculations: I'm guessing the problem with the phone needing to be resynced when deleting several alarms is from one of these files on the phone storing the alarm data getting corrupted. If I was a betting man, I'd say this is likely due to corruption making the XML of the plist malformed from different threads writing changes to it simultaneously because it's so huge from all these entries and seeking through the file to update it is taking longer than anyone would reasonably expect and test for or program to protect against. Because, honestly, who thinks while coding something like this, "I need to make sure the user is safe when editing 2000 alarms..."

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.

Alarm clock fails as of Jan 1

Both iPhones in the house (3GS) failed to execute the alarm function this morning (v4.1 and 4.2.1). Please post a bug fix or workaround.

I'm dating a new girl that I offered to drive to the airport this morning at 6am for a flight to Puerto Rico (vacation).
My non-reoccurring alarm didn't go off. Bug. We missed her flight. The new, last minute flight cost us $600 extra this morning.
People now use their phones to wake them up. It's a simple feature. They're battery backed-up. Apple knew about this issue before it cost me $600 and made an incredibly awkward and rushed morning. They could have emailed everyone they knew had an iPhone with iOS 4 OS about this, or had AT&T send a txt message. Something. They did nothing.
No more iOS devices for me. This one error cost me more than the phone. More than my iPad.
