MacB ook Pro Alarm Clock?

I just wondered if there's some sort of alarm clock built into MacBook Pro. My alarm clock just went on the blink, and I need to get up early in the morning.

Hi David,
Try this free application. It'll wake you with any song from your iTunes library and will even wake up your Mac if it's asleep.

HT3964 my macb ook pro will accept disc and then rejects

Help me to find out how to insert discs and play. My Mac book pro accepts and then rejects discs

It could be a dirty lens or it could be that the HDD has failed. If lens cleaning does not solve the problem, take it into an Apple store genius bar for a free definitive diagnosis.
Ciao.

Ihandy alarm clock pro no sound

I have used the ihandy alarm clock for a few years on my 3GS no problems.
It's great as you can set the alarm to your choice of music and give the phone a shake to snooze rather than push buttons
Since upgrading to an iphone 5 the alarm has failed to go off on three occasions... slept in once, wife's alarm got me off the hook the other twice
The first time I thought I had forgot the alarm or had the sound turned off. All other sounds on the phone were silent. A reset fixed things
The second time the display showed that the alarm was running but there was no sound. A reset was required to get any sound out of any application
On both occasions the sound button was set to on.
I wasn't able to reproduce the problem and neither was the person at the Apple store but they replaced the phone THANK YOU
That was a week ago and it has been fine till this morning... same problem, saved by my wife's alarm
There are a few posts about similar irrefular problems but no apparent conclusive solution
Any ideas please?
Thanks
Peter

I've had the same problem with the iHandy alarm clock on my iPhone 4. Sometimes the alarm works fine, but randomly (twice per month?) it will appear to be alarming, but with no sound. Once that happens, there's no sound from any app, and I can only fix it by rebooting the phone.
I've tried checking the sound on the phone every night before going to sleep, but even that's not a reliable precaution. One time the alarm sounded normally at the alarm time - I pressed snooze and went back to sleep - then the alarm failed to sound at the snooze time.
I switched back this week to the "12,24 Alarm Clock Sleep Music" app - it's an older app and doesn't have as many features as iHandy, but I haven't had reliability problems with it.
I wonder if iHandy's "background alarm" functionality somehow conflicts with the iOS? The 12,24 clock doesn't have that feature, which is one of the reasons I switched to iHandy clock - but it's more important to have a reliable alarm.

How can I turn my Mac using iTunes into an alarm clock?

Here's my question: How can I turn my Mac, using iTunes, into an alarm clock?
I want to be able to put my Mac to sleep but have it set up so that when it wakes up at the predetermined time iTunes will open and start playing the music I've selected....
A "musical alarm clock"...
A friend suggested using the Energy Saver option in Sys. Preferences to wake the computer at the right time. He said that then I could use iCal to start iTunes. I would then have to use an Apple Script to get iTunes to play the song I want.
But is there a SIMPLER way to do this? Are there any programs out there that do this already??
Thanks for any help....

I recently got a copy of AlarmClock Pro from MacWorld UK. It is shareware, I think it is (USD?)19. I haven't had a chance to try it out much, but it does look quite good. I have an older version. The latest version looks even better.
I'm sure there's plenty of freeware apps out there. You might also want to try looking here for an applescript here Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes

Alarm Clock apps?!?!?!?!?!?

This is quite ridiculous. The clock app that comes with the iPhone has absolutely NO customization options whatsoever when it comes to alarms, and its just flat out lame. (Apple really outdone themselves to keep everything absolutely simple, they failed, as in functionality, on this criteria this time)
I went on to search for alarm clock apps on the app store and found this free version of Alarm Clock Pro and tried it out, I liked it a bit, it offered a bit of customization than the built in clock app the iPhone comes with. So I went on ahead and bought the Pro version for .99 because the ads on the free version were annoying.
But wait, you have to leave the alarm clock app opened throughout the whole night for it to work to wake you up in the morning? HUH?? WHATS GOING ON?? I always wake up to find that half of the battery from my iPhone is drained because of the alarm app!!!! Ridiculous! I previously owned an android phone and was able to quickly find a free alarm clock app on the market that offered even more customization and all for free, and you dont need to have the app opened for it to work!!
Someone please tell me there is something else for the iPhone that can be like that, while I already wasted .99 cents on the suppose BEST alarm clock app for the iPhone, I'm even willing to pay for a new alarm app that offers the same exact thing the android has to offer.

Unfortunately no alarm clock app will wake you up to a mp3 from your library when it's not open.
This is something Apple has not allowed. We tried to come up with a solution ourselves with our alarm app but as other developers realized it cant be done . We are still working on a solution though; not giving up!
Our app if interested is alarm app that wakes you up and speaks short weather reports to you http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sleep-fm/id388631053?mt=8#

Using the alarm clock

I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the Alarm Clock feature on my iPod. If I set the alarm for a time that's only a minute or two in the future, it seems to work just fine. However, if I set it for ten minutes (or more) in the future, then just set it down, the iPod times out and shuts off after a few minutes of non-use. Then, when the alarm time comes around, nothing happens.
Is the alarm clock supposed to be able to "turn on" the iPod when it is off? If so, why wouldn't it be doing it? If not, how do I prevent my iPod from turning off, so that the alarm will work?

Go to Extras > Clock > Sleep timer.
Try setting it to off.

Alarm clock start time

Guy please can you set you alarm clock and have your computer with the second running in the clock... and look at the time the alarm goes off.
I have set my alarm to 8:00am and the alarm goes off at 7:59:55 or so a few seconds before is this the same that you guys get?

can some please try this one out for me. Does the alarm ring a few like 3 to 4 seconds before the time set...?
for this you have to monitor the same with your mac-pro/book having seconds turned on in the clock

Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock? I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on and start playing that Radio Station from Sleep mode at spec

Any App or plug-in that does that?
Many thanks

Turning your Mac into a clock radio.
1. In iTunes create a playlist that contains just the radio station you want to wake up to.
2. Export the playlist (as .m3u works well). Get Info on your playlist file and look at the Open With entry to make sure it points to iTunes, VLC or some other app that will stream your station.
3. In iCal create an event entry at the time you want to wake up.
4. Right (or Control) click on your wakeup event and select Get Info.
5. For "alarm" select Open File.
6. Now under Open File there will be a place to add the file to open. It will probably be some default entry (like iCal). Click on it will allow you to select "other." Then use the file dialog to select your playlist file.
Your Mac will wake you up at the appointed time. You don't need to keep iCal running. If you want to put you Mac to sleep for the night then there is one more thing you need to do. Open System Preferences to Energy Saver and click on the Schedule button. Check Start up or wake and set the wake up time to slightly before your iCal alarm time.

My iPhone 4 no longer connects to my car or alarm clock after a recent sync to my computer. The message at I get when trying to. Connect is "this accessory is not optimized for the device" or something like that. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hello there philp_69,
If I understand correctly it sounds like your phone hasnt been recognized in iTunes on your PC since the last couple of updates. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article which will walk you through the steps one by one.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

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!!

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.

Looking for a good sound dock/alarm clock for iPOD Touch 4

I saw one other post asking about a sound dock here and out of the 3 responses, I think only the Bose was mentioned.
I was just curious if and/or what sound dock/alarm clock combos you all would recommend? I just got a hold of the White Noise app and I would like to be able to use it through a sound dock in my bedroom as I sleep with a fan at night and the audio output on the iPOD Touch itself is not loud enough.
I don't want to spend an arm and a leg either on a sound dock/alarm clock if at all possible.
Thanks,
Whiteice

Altec Lansing. Im using the 'inMotion compact' and for its size it gives a h*ll of a punch with bass wise. As for as price goes, its reasonable.

Looking for an Alarm Clock app where you do math problems to turn it off

Someone told me of an application for the iPhone that is an alarm clock in which you can use a mode that, when the alarm sounds, you need to solve a math problem or other visual test in order to cease the alarm. That way the user is more awake by the time the alarm is stopped. Sounds annoying, yes, but would be just what I need.
Anyone know which alarm app this is? Or if it even exists?

There's another app that got a lot of press recently called *Proactive Sleep*.
It works similarly to the math app mentioned above but you do a 30 second visual game when you wake up. It also records your score as well as your sleep patterns and can give you recommendations and other feedback to improve your sleeping habits.

Help, since my update to my Iphone 4, it will no longer charge on my alarm clock docking station. The station I purchased four months ago from Target.

It will still charge my ipod,but not my iphone. I keep getting a message on my phone when I put it on the dock, saying that it is not supported by this divise. Please help. I am not going to go out and spend another 35.00 on an alarm clock when this one works perfectly fine, my phone is just being picky. Please help.

Talk to Toyota. The fault is in their in-car system. Talk to Toyota corporate. The dealers are clueless. Your system needs to be updated.

Ipod nano 2nd gen and dock/alarm clock

i have read through alot of the posts and have not seen anything similar to my question.
i got my daughter an ipod nano for xmas.
we really dont leave the computer on alot and she was wanting a docking station/speaker setup. i found one that charges it/ has speakers and is also an alarm clock.
she likes the idea of having the alarm clock with it.
this is the model she got: curtis iMode ip210 link to where it was bought http://hhgregg.com/ProductDetail.asp?SID=0B568914D18A4CBEB2E80A95E8C46043&Produc tID=17180
we have not hooked it up yet because of a small problem maybe. (hooked up to power that is)
it came with a bunch of different adapters for the different ipod versions. well the nano one is incorrect. i guess due to ours being a 2nd gen version.
the ipod goes right on the dock fine with out it.
the little plastic adapter i got with the ipod kinda works in the slot of the radio but would need a little modification to snap in. the difference is the outside shape and would just needed some sanding. i have called the support number for the radio and all i could get from the was its not compatable. and i am not too sure why.
from what i have found out is all the ipod dock connectors are the same and there is no difference. not sure about this just what i have noticed.
i tried to call my local apple store and ask them but that guy started talking about firewire and problems. i told him how it docked and what it was and he still insisted on talking about firewire and those problems. i hung up as it didnt sound like he knew anything.
so now would i be ok in useing the adapter i got with the ipod and makeing some slight mods(sanding outside edge) to it. or is the something totally different between the 1st gen and 2nd gen that would mess up the ipod if put in this unit.
the reason i want this unit as it will replace her current alarm clock and she has a loft bed and its the only unit that we have seen that will fit and is in our price range.
thank you for your help

ipod nano 2nd gen Windows XP

The dock adaptor that came with the iPod is meant to fit Apple's universal dock and not a 3rd party accessory.
The reason you are having issues is because although the dock connectors on iPods are all the same (the pins are in the same place), the connector on the second gen nano is in a slightly different place than on the first. If you look at it from the bottom with the iPod face up, it's slightly more to the left. This, and the fact that it has a metal case with rounded edges, has made the new nano incompatible with almost all these type of accessories.
It's been mentioned here several times, and a few people have been able to get the manufacturer of the dock to supply them with an adaptor.
