My alarm doesn't sound, starting today 1/1/12

My alarm has worked fine for the past 1.5 years. Starting today, 1/1/12 (not sure if that has anything to do with it), the alarm does not go off. I've tried several things on the settings and the only thing I can get to work is to set it to Repeat -- then it sounds. Problem is, I'd like it to work even for 1-time alarms.

It's not a fix as such and it's only temporary untill I can find a permanent fix but changing the date to any date in 2011 in Settings means the alarm works. Like I say, it's not ideal but it means I can wake up for work on time!

Alarm doesn't sound on some occasions

Hi there,
I am having issues with alarm on the iPhone 4, I have set an alarm with the following settings :-
Repeat               Weekdays
Sound                Alarm
Snooze               On
Label                 Alarm
Time                 7:00
I set my volume to full
On some occasion, the alarm doesn't sound although it does vibrate - what is causing this issue?
Any ideas?

You'll need to report that directly to Apple as they don't monitor these forums. http://www.apple.com/feedback

Alarm doesn't sound

On occasion, the alarm that's set will visually be working, but no sound to actually wake you up will happen. Snooze, etc comes up on the screen, but there's no alarm sound. Resetting the phone does not resolve the issue. I have determined the problem to be that when an e-mail arrives a moment before the alarm is to activate, the sound from the e-mail arriving will over-ride the alarm wake up sound.
This is an issue that hasn't been fixed. I've run into this issue before on my previous generations iPhones (4S, 5 and now 6).

The alarm doesn't sound a second time though the snooze IS enabled

Whether I pick up my phone 10 min later or an hour later it shows the alarm screen where it says tap to hit snooze or slide to shut off (or whatever it is). Like it's still set and the alarm is going off and it's waiting for me to shut it off (though there's no alarm sounding). It goes off the first time and that's it. The snooze is enabled, the volume is up. I have fallen back to sleep multiple times as I rely on my phone alarm. I have gone through the settings of the alarm and everything is set perfectly.

Submit a "bug report" on the Apple Feedback page. Sounds like something they should fix.

The sound no longer works in my husband's iPad and it keeps shutting itself down. This started today. We checked all the settings and everything looks right. Is there something we might be missing?

Try a reset first: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
If the reset doesn't fix it, try a restore:

My Mac Mini was not sending a signal to the monitor. I powered down using the power button and now it will not start. When i power up I get a strange 2 tone sound, like a warning alarm. The fan starts, and the light comes on, but no screen

I have tried with a wired USB keyboard and mouse using a single screen. Powered up with option pressed. No change.
Reset SMC no change

Run the Apple hardware test to see what it tells you. Run the extended test when prompted, which can take awhile.

When Firefire open a siren sound starts. Started today. How do I stop it. If not resolve must return to IE.

Siren sounds when opening Foxfire. Started today. How do I stop it? Loud annoying. Renders Foxfire useless. Will return to IE if not resolved.

We have a report of this issue on an XP workstation sp3. However, it is affecting Internet Explorer. Firefox is not installed on the PC so I doubt it's solely a Firefox issue.

AirPort Express (first Generation) doesn't get recognized with latest Itunes. (everything has the latest updates). This is on WIndows 7. Just started today after getting latest Itunes Version.

I am sure this has been addressed, but I will ask again, and then start sifting through prior posts.
I have Windows 7, AirPort Express (First Generation), and the latest Itunes (11, I believe). All updates are current on the both the Itunes and AirPort Express. All of a sudden today, when wanting to play music off of Itunes (it does show that I have both outlets checked and in blue [my computer & airport]) after about a minute it displays a statement saying "The Network Connection Timed Out". And then finally plays on my computer. This just started today. It has always worked, and now, not sure what to do. I have unplugged and plugged back both the airport express and my router.
Any help would be so much appreciated. This is truly why I hesitate to get the newest version of Itunes. There always seems to be an issue. Anyway...HELP!

A bizarre update.
Decided to use the XP VM to handle the iPhone and it was downloading the latest update when it failed.
At that point Windows 7 iTunes popped up to say it had found an iPhone in recovery mode. I let it try a restore which also failed (VM couldn't complete the restore either).
Plugged the iPhone back in to my old PC to complete recovery and restore and then plugged it back in to the Windows 7 PC - which now can't see the iPhone!!
So it detected it when in recovery mode but not when it was functioning normally.
Are older versions of iTunes available to allow the backout of 10.4 which just seems so flaky on 64 bit Windows 7?

When I load Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. No matter what web page I go to the content stays darker than the navigation bar. This just started today. All other applications work fine.

When I bring up Safari on my IPAD2, the web page comes up, but I can't scroll down the page. This just started today. No matter what web site I go to, the content is darker than the navigation pane.

If it's happening on all sites, then assuming that it's Safari that you're using, have you tried clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (other browsers should have similar options, possibly within the actual app instead of within Settings). You could also try closing the app completely : from the home screen double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app (or whichever browser you're using) to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it's only happening on a particular site then there may be content on that site that isn't supported on the iPad e.g. flash, java, silverlight

Window 8.1 lost connectivity to Exchange 2013 (started today)

I've done a few searches for the errors we are getting, but things that I have tried (corrupt user profiles, registry edits on the client pc, etc) have all been unsuccessful.
Our environment mainly consists of Windows 7 machines. We have three Windows 8.1 machines (there are only three on our network) that we have been testing with before we roll them out. These Windows 8.1 machines have been talking to Exchange 2013
for months (since our roll out in Summer 2014). One Windows 8 machine is connected to the domain, the other two are not. Starting today, all three computers have started prompting for passwords. Nothing has changed (no patches/config changes,
etc) on the server and its last reboot was three weeks ago. The Windows 8.1 machine that is joined to the domain has Office 2007. The Other Windows 8 machines have Office 2013. We have many Windows 7 machines running both Outlook 2007 and
2013 with no problems at all.
The user account can log into OWA. We can set up the profile on a Windows 7 box with no problem. The only common thing is Windows 8.1. iPhones/iPads/Android devices still work, too; with the tested user account (three accounts).
I ran through most tests on the Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer and everything passes.
I've turned on Outlook logging, but since it doesn't get past authentication, the logs really do not help much (if I'm looking in the right "outlook logging" folder under the AppData/temp directory.
I've tried looking at the HTTP logs on the exchange server, but they do not seem to point me in a direction.
I'm grasping at straws and not sure what to look for next. I'm going to install patches on the Exchange Server this weekend and reboot it, but I'm really thinking something on the Windows 8.1 client is causing the issues. Any thoughts or directions?
Regards,
JA

Hi,
According to your description, I noticed that the issue only happens to three Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 users. And the issue doesn’t occur when setting up the problematic user’s Outlook profile on a Windows 7 machine.
If that is the case, the configuration in Exchange server side should be OK because the client user can connect to mailbox in Windows 7 machine. Please check the following settings in Windows 8 machine:
a. Start Microsoft Outlook.
b. Click File > Account Settings, click Account Settings.
c. Click the E-mail tab, click the Exchange account, and then click Change.
d. Click More Settings, and then click the Connection tab.
e. “Connect to Microsoft Exchange using HTTP” should be checked, then click Exchange Proxy Settings.
f. Note the checkbox for fast network and slow network should be both checked:
g. Make sure the Proxy authentication settings is set to NTLM Authentication.

At what level does your sound start coming through?

Hello, I have had a look at previous discussions regarding sound issues but have not come across an answer for this particular one. On the bar level, my sound starts coming through at about the 6th one from 0%, is this normal for a brand new Intel core 17"? I only found this out by playing a CD today and wondering why there wasn't any sound even though the sound level was halfway....When do your sounds start coming through? My G3 sound started a lot earlier and halfway was loud enough so I am finding this a bit strange
Btw, I have looked at the System Prefs and it all seems OK.
Thanks

I have one iPad 3. But it is frequently hanging. More over the sound disappears. I have to restart the device to bring back the sound. Today I can't even restart as none of the icons are responding to touch. Why this is happening?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Shortly after starting Firefox the "music" reminiscent of Pac-Man starts. It is only on Firefox (haven't tried Thunderbird) even following an uninstall and re-install of Firefox. Just started today. Am using XP Home SP3.

How to get rid of Pac-Man sounds
Shortly after starting Firefox the "music" reminiscent of Pac-Man starts. It is only on Firefox (haven't tried Thunderbird) even following an uninstall and re-install of Firefox. Just started today. Am using XP Home SP3.
== This happened ==

Dear Firefox:
I am not amused with the pac-man music. I spent the entire trying to find a virus on my computer. I might have tolerated this as an April Fool's joke, but this "celebration" was completely unnecessary!
And to others trying to fix the problem ... I just uninstalled Cool Previews and that did the trick. No more bat-shit-crazy pac-man music.

Buzz Player doesn't sound with IOS 07. Why?

Buzz Player HD in mi Ipad 2 doesn't sound with new IOS 07.
Do you Know why?
Many Thanks from Spain

First try this ... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that didn't work, Do you have sounds in other apps, do you have keyboard clicks? If you don't, you have system sounds muted.
If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
