Less time to turn off alarm in ios7?

Has anyone else using the stock alarm app noticed that the time you have to reach your phone and swipe it to turn it off has been drastically reduced with the ios7 update? After the update, my phone's screen goes black very quickly after the alarm goes off and I can never get to it in time to "swipe" the alarm off. I'll hit the power button thinking this has turned off the alarm, but it only snoozed it and it will go off again in 10 minutes. Because there is so little time to swipe to turn off the alarm, I have to turn on the phone, open alarms, and toggle my daily alarm off and on to ensure it is really off.
Just wanted to know if others were having this issue.

easy peasy, double tap the home button like you used to.  but instead of holding the icon just swipe the preview window away towards the top of your device

  • Turning off alarms for past events

    I use .Mac to sync my iCal calendars among three computers. Two are laptops which are not always on and one is a Mini which is always on. I use alarms for most of my events and the Mini sends out these alarms just fine. The problem is that when I open iCal on one of the laptops, it sends out a bunch of alarms for past events.
    I have the "Turn off alarms when iCal is not open" box checked on both my laptops. And the iCal scheduler (can't find the exact name) is not running on the laptops and is not in my login apps list.
    What I want is to able to continue to sync iCal but not have the laptops send out alarms. I don't want to delete events after they have past because I like to see past events in the calendar.
    Is it possible to continue to sync via .Mac but turn off all alarms on the laptops? Or is it possible to delete the alarm associated with an event after the event is past? This would not work 100% of the time since I could open iCal on the laptop before the latest sync occurred and the alarm would still be there but it would cut down on the number of old alarm events. This may require an AppleScript and I am totally ignorant about coding AppleScript.
    Thanks.

    Assuming you mean that you performed the repair yourself, it would seem that you either obtained a defective screen or you did some sort of damage when you replaced the screen. You can try asking for assistance on ifixit.com, a site dedicate to those attempting their own repairs, or you can take the iPad to a shop and pay them to try to correct the problem for you. Apple will no longer touch your iPad now that you've attempted your own repairs.

  • Why is it that every time I turn off my wifi on my phone my 3G dosen't work? Help :(

    So every time I turn off my wifi  from my iPhone 5c  at home My 3 G Doesn't Want To Work? And a 1x keeps popping out?

    Could be cause I just got my phone like 2 days ago. Lol and sometimes it has a mind of its own. Like when I'm trying to text it starts to push random letters and it will go home and then go in to my contacts and then a app with out me pressing anything. Like if it was a glitch or something?

  • How do I stop Firefox reverting to standard settings every time I turn off my PC?

    I set up my preferred icons history, print, home etc in the places I like them yet every time I turn off my PC the next day they are back to the standard set up & I have to do them all again, more than a little bit irritating as it has never been a problem before & only started happening when I upgraded to 33.1
    Things like this seem to happen every time there is an upgrade, it is getting to the point where after years of using Firefox I am seriously considering looking around for a new default browser.
    As if to illustrate my point when I just restarted Firefox after installing the troubleshooter add-on all my custom icon settings are gone AGAIN.

  • How to turn off alarms when iCal is not running

    iCal-Version 4.0.4 (1395)
    Imagine giving a lecture supported by powerpoint in front of an audience, all applications turned off except of powerpoint, and suddenly popping up the iCal alarm message "meet her (xy) in the pub". How can I turn off alarms when iCal is NOT running?
    cheers
    knatterton

    Hey!  I was DJ'ing and an iCal alarm went off even though I'd selected to have alarms not go off when iCal is not running.  Now that option isn't there anymore!  Can I revert to the previous version of iCal?  I don;t see any other new features that are worth not having interruptions during DJ'ing and presentations!  I know that if I turn off all alarms, I will forget.  I'd create an alarm to remind me to turn it back on, but...  This is REALLY annoying.

  • Turn off alarms when Ical not running! Bring it back

    It seems that the option to turn off alarms when Ical not running has been removed. The only option now is to simply turn alarms off (then you forget to turn it back on!). i am a professional speaker and when an alarm rings when I'm using Keynote it knocks keynote off the screen. That is a real pain when you are speaking to 1000 people! Anyone got any ideas. And Apple, please bring it back.

    I sure hope the developers at Apple as well as the management team who can make product impacting decisions are reading this thread - do they realize that this makes the *alarm function unusable by professionals* who do presentations? I was in front of a small group doing a powerpoint tonight and the alarm went off in the middle of it - not a good thing.
    So, I will choose to turn them off completely at this point - it is the only option. And I am not going to manually turn them on and off - that's a ridiculous prospect.
    I can only guess at the reason for removing the earlier functionality of turning off the alarms when the application was closed, but this is absolutely a requirement if alarms are to be functional at all for those of us who do presentations.

  • Why do I have to reconnect to my Network manually every time I turn off my laptop? But yet it stores my password.

    Why do I have to reconnect to my network every time I turn off my laptop? But yet it stores my password. It has been happening ever since I upgraded to OS X Lion. I have two default wireless routers I connect to (my home and work) and yet everytime I turn on my computer I have to manually select which network I want to join from the drop down menu at the top of my desktop. Any suggestions? I dont want to have to manually choose, it should just look for those two networks automatically and connnect to whichever one is available.

    It was already set to Automatic......and still it doesnt connect to my network.

  • Time Capsule Turns OFF on reboot and wake up

    I'm using the latest versions of everything on this iMac and AirTime Capsule. For the past few weeks I noticed that when the desktop wakes up Time Machine is OFF in System Preferences or when I reboot the Mac, Time Machine turns OFF also.
    Reading other posts, I started to look for a com.apple.TimeMachine preference in the Library but I could not find any reference to that file.
    It's annoying because I expect my stuff to be backed up during the day while working. At night, before the Mac goes to sleep, SuperDuper does a full backup on a different drive.
    If you could help resolve this issue, I would appreciate. TIA.

    Thanks for your reply. That's what I've been doing to delete in Library the TimeMachine plist file. I even lock after the first reboot the SysPrefs panel of the Time Machine to ON. Then on second reboot, Time Machine reverts automatically to OFF. Same thing the next day waking up after sleep. The Mac wakes up and Time Machine is OFF again.
    I am puzzled and confused as to why it does this. Time Machine has worked superbly since last July, then around the end of December it started doing this trick. I update religiously my Macs whenever Apple Software Update tells me to, so I'm running now on this iMac 10.6.6 and on the AirTimeCapsule 7.5.2.

  • Time-based turning off of bluetooth keyboard

    I'm using an Apple bluetooth keyboard with my iMac. If I forget to manually turn off the keyboard, the batteries in it drain 20% overnight. Is there no setting that says: Turn off the keyboard if there's no activity for 5 minutes? I notice that Windows 7 allows me to do this, even for my Apple keyboard (since I'm running W7 on my mac). Thanks.

    No, there's no announcement when it sleeps, only when it connects/disconnects.
    Here is Apple's description:
    The Apple Wireless Keyboard requires just two AA batteries — one less than the previous model. And its intelligent power management system conserves battery life. So when you’re not using the keyboard, it automatically powers down. The instant you start typing, it turns back on. Use the on/off switch when you're away from your computer for a long time.

  • Turning off Battery Percentage iOS7

    Hi there, quick question. I'm trying to turn off the battery percentage but no matter what I do, it won't go away. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a fix to it?
    Any and all suggestions welcome. Also, sorry if this is a common occurance but I did Google it before hand and found a little less than nothing (that was relevant, anyhow).
    Thanks again.
    Not a clue if this matters but my phone was jailbroken up until I updated to the newest iOS.

    My device is no longer jailbroken. It is counted as a regular, run of the mill iPhone. Yes, I've voided my warranty, should I ever have had one, but I'm still able to post about my iPhone as it's no longer jailbroken. I merely added in the fact that it used to be jailbroken incase it was relevant information.
    Doesn't matter. Once your phone was jailbroken at any time it is pretty much jailbroken forever. Just because you restore it doesn't mean it wipes out all traces of the jailbreak.

  • I lose my Wi-Fi network settings every time I turn off

    Hello, and thank you for your time. Just bought my iPod Touch yesterday, and am loving it.
    One problem I'm having, though. I can't keep the settings for the network I want to use.
    I configured my router's network on it. Put in WEP and the security key. I was connected to Wi-Fi just fine, no problems.
    Then I turned the iPod off. When I turned it back on, even though the iPod is configured with the router (which is on private network, so my "lovely" neighbors don't leech off it), my network disappears. My PlayStation 3 that I'm not using for a network appears every time I turn on and off. But, every time I turn the iPod on, I have to put in the information for the network I want to use (name, security, password) all over again.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry if there's an answer here already and I missed it. Thank you.
    Walter

    You need to select to "remember" the access point so it automatically reconnects unless by "private network" you mean that you're not broadcasting the SSID. If that's the case, it won't reconnect automatically-it's a feature, not a bug. My advice, broadcast the SSID and set a strong password. Hiding it doesn't do much for you from a security standpoint. Setting a 40 digit random password does.
    If this doesn't work, do a Restore.
