My Iphone 5 clock alarm isnt going off when its "on sound", it acts as if its on vibrate and doesnt wake me up. Started with the IOS upgrade. Is there a bug?
My new Iphone 5 clock alarm isnt going off where I can hear it. Its started on my 4S when I upgraded to IOS6 and even on the Itouch too. I set the clock alarm, turn on sound (not silent), the alarm goes off, but no sounds comes out. I have to reset home to get it to recognize its off, but that doesnt always work, it did it on both my Itouch and Iphone5 I almost over slept this morning because never of them went off and woke me up. Acted as it the sound was down (which it wasnt) and it was on silent mode (which it wasnt) Is there a bug with this? I cant trust my phone now to wake me up. Any help? Thanks Tracey
Same problem here. Me and my girlfriend swapped iphone 5's (she has white, I have black) in may and I rely on the alarm every morning to wake me up for work. It hasn't let me down.
A few days ago I set 2 alarms very early in the morning to wake me up for an early morning flight. Neither alarm made a sound & I missed the flight!!
We then swapped our phones back & she has just had exactly the same thing happen & has missed an important meeting at work. Again, quite an early morning alarm. The odd thing is I have a black iphone 5, also latest OS, never had this happen to me...
Has anyone solved this problem. I can't make it repeat (reset the same alarm for a different time & it goes off fine).
Does I need to buy her a dedicated alarm clock!?!

Lightroom 4 crashes when trying to open the slideshow module. I spent over three hours with both Adobe and Apple tech support and we know it is a permission issue but have not been able to get it solved. It started with the last upgrade to 10.8
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar. -
Alarm Clock, Alarm Never Goes off, Please Test
I can't get any alarms I set to go off. Currently under the Nano's clock I have Los Angeles listed. I set the alarm, and it shows a little bell for the alarm on. Nothing happens, no sound, no music nothing. the time just goes by.
If the nano is off it doesn't turn on, and if it's on nothing happens?
Any suggestions? Normally should the alarmclock work if the nano is off?
Can anyone verify that their nano alarmclock works?
Also can I switch between AM & PM without having to scroll through the entire 24 hours?Sorry for the apparent simplicity, but how do move to the hour part of the alarm function ? I can change the minutes using the click wheel, but I just can't get to the hour part. Please dont tell me I have to scroll around all the way to the time I want to set the alarm for ?
sorry but yes you do, please report feature request as i do to get separate selection for scrolling hour selection. -
My iphone 3g running ios 4.2.1 goes off when it is idle
i need help,
My iphone 3g running ios 4.2.1 goes off when it is idle and i have to reboot it before it starts work.
it does not go off when it plays music..... or plugged into the PC.It's likely running slow because of iOS4, not because of apps being open. Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
If still a problem restore from your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
You'll most likely need to restore as new to get it running as good as it can. A 3G will never run as good on iOS4 as it did on iOS3. -
I dropped my iphone 3gs now it goes on when connected with a charger but battery show 0% battery. as soon as i disconnect the charger the phone goes off....
Your the one saying it won't work properly, so yes it is broken.

Alarm not going off in Lumia 520
Recently I updated my Lumia to WP8.1 and a couple of days later I find my alarms not going off at all, or they do so on random days.
It is really a big issue for me cuz I have to wake up early quite often and without an alarm its impossible.
Please do help or suggest an alternative
Solved!
Go to Solution.If its the Built-in Alarm, I don't think there is any Volume setting for it .. Its independent of the Ringer+Notification as well as Media+Apps Volume. BTW, do you atleast see the Alarm screen displayed when the time is reached ? If yes, did you try selecting any other Tone ?
Try a Soft Reset : Press and hold Power + Volume(down) keys until the phone vibrates (about 8-10 seconds). Phone will reboot. Then check whether it gets resolved ... -

When FT is full screen, camera goes off when swiping to a different app
When FT is full screen, camera goes off when swipping to a different app or the desktop. This is frustrating to the other person. We were having a discussion and I said I wouls look it up and when I swipped to Safari, the camera went off. It makes the other person think the connection has been lost. Anywhere to report issues like this to Apple?
In reading other threads, I found a few that recommend a hard reset to solve the issue. I have tried it, and thus far haven't expereienced the problem again. Hopefully that's it then

i have been getting this message " no sim installed " too many times then my phone goes off , its iphone 4S , its really a problem i cant get calls or anything and im not sure how to take the SIM out then insert it again , what to do ??
Use the sim tool that came with your phone or a safety pin and just insert it into the hole at the side of the sim tray and push it in and then pull it out. It is no more difficult than that and then just close it again.

My display goes off when Battery being charged on Acer E5-511 after upgrading to Windows 10
I upgraded my window 8.1 to Window 10 on Acer E5-511 machine yesterday. I notice that when I switch on power to charge its battery, a beep sounds and display goes off. when power is again switched off the display comes back with a beep again. However, when the machine battery is allowed to charge for some time, either it goes to hibernation mode or stops working since display does not come back even after switching off the power supply. This peculiar problem did not existed when I had used this Notebook with windows 8.1 for past eight months. Can any one help me to solve this problem as i am being forced to charge the battery only when Notebook is not powered on.

My wifes 3GS's alarm keeps going off constantly. There is no alarm set on the phone but it keeps going off dozens of times a day. She has tried the soft reset with no luck. The constant alarm is killing her battery life. Any ideas?
Have you had a quick look through the forum for all the other posts regarding this, or read the newspaper or watched TV in the last couple of days?
Please do a serch and join one of the other hundreds of posts on the same subject rather than starting a new one.

The bell that goes off when you tap the microphone on and off in iOS7 is very loud. Can it be turned down or off?
Hey, the name of that tone is Sonar. If you are using iOS 7.1, its under Ringtones>Classic>Sonar.

After I upgraded my Iphone 4 with the ios 7.1.1 it locks up while sending text messages. I can usually send a few then will have to restart my phone(often more than once) to get it to send and receive messages again. I have done a back up and complete reset and that has not fixed the problem. Have been told that the ios 7.1.1 just isn't compatible with the Iphone 4 so that's why it is locking up so often, but I am hoping someone else may have a better answer since it can't be undone. Thanks!
7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss) -
