Pre Clock changing time - Alarms repeating

I have about 10 daily alarms set on my Pre. I've kept to this alarm schedule for about 2 months now. After update 1.4 came out a lot of my alarms would go off twice within a minute. It seems as though my clock ticks back a minute every few hours. I'm not sure if this is to fix the previous problem of the time wandering off by as much as 7 minutes like my phone was doing before version 1.4. This double alarm issue is getting to be rather annoying.
eg: I have an alarm set for 12:30. The alarm goes off so I pick up my phone to dismiss it. When I look at the phone the time says 12:30, then jumps back to 12:29. I dismiss the alarm only to have it go off again when the clock says 12:30 again in a minute.
Please help as I have to keep to this schedule for another 4 months or so.

You're very welcome--- In fact, these are very GOOD questions and I happen to have an answer to each of them.
For Question 1. Normally , in the calendar they only ask for the time, not the time zone. So, the times will not change in your calendar unless you adjust them yourself.
Question 2. As in Question 1, You will have to adjust the time in your calendar to whatever time zone you are in.
Question 3. If you manually set your alarm to a specific time and you change time zones, your alarm will NOT adjust to the time zone you are in. That will only happen if you have the time zone set to automatic.
Lastly, If you do not have your time zone set to automatic then your time will not adjust at all. Therefore, you will not lose/gain any seconds.
Hope I have answered all of your questions that you have for me today.
I'm waiting on your reply!

Clock changes time randomly

Has any one had any issues with their clock changing time randomly on their iphone 5c? it will go up in time then back several times during the day. I am the only one in the house that this is happening to

If "Automatic Time" is turned on in Settings, the time is coming from the cell towers. Contact the carrier to address.

Changing the default Repeat Times list in iCal Alarms?

Has anyone ever figured out a way to change the default "repeat times" list on iCal Alarms?
[img]http://img.skitch.com/20091129-xe9qr7yt94d8e6bq5pp3nya574.jpg[/img]
I'd love to add a few to iCal's current offerings, like "4 hours" "8 hours" etc.

Dear Rich
Welcome to Apple Forums,
I'm not sure about either of these but it used to be that you could rook the finder into opening in which ever view you wanted by double clicking on your hard drive icon on your desk top changing it to the view you want and then resizing it slightly. If you then close it and reopen it it should open to list view again. Again i'm not sure that this still works but its better than nothing. Also there is a free program called Cocktail that might do it for you( i have an old version and there for the newer version might have it when might doesn't). I hope one of these two ideas works out for you.

[E61i] Alarm-Clock / buzzer / timer doesn't work anymore
Hey there, I use an E61i with the newest firmware and since some months ago (it seems ~the installation of the new firmware) my alarm clock sounds goes off, but not hearable. It's not loud, it is almost not even hearable if you're near to it.
All my other sounds work just fine, call rings, sms notification, ringtones, music, all fine.
But just the alarm clock doesn't work.
I checked ALL options at least twice, I tried to change almost every option and made several test rounds concerning the alarm clock. I just don't know what happened, why it happened and how I can repair it.
I can provide you with more information, what do you need?
Thanks in advance & kind regards.

Odd clock drift since summer time clock change

This is a weird one. Since the clocks changed back for daylight savings time (here in the UK, on Sunday morning from BST to GMT) I've been getting a strange error: while I'm editing a file in vi(1), occasionally when I come to save it tells me the file has changed on disk (it hasn't).
I thought I was going mad until a colleague said he's seen the same warnings on his machine in Eclipse. It seems to me like the clock is constantly drifting/being adjusted - I'm syncing with NTP to time.euro.apple.com, and I am seeing a lot of NTP updates in the logs:

These are big jumps - a second, half a second, much more than I'd expect to see. Given it's happening on a colleagues machine we can rule out my clock battery or other local hardware/software issues, it's happening both when I'm at work and at home (on two different networks), and it's only happening since the summer time change on Sunday.
Has anyone else seen this? This is on 10.6.4, on two machines that have not been rebooted since the clocks changed.

I have a similar problem - when I start up my clock has advanced about 13 hours. It seems to have been doing this since daylight savings changed. It has the right time zone and I have unlinked synchronisation but it keeps happening even when it is locked.

How can I change the alarm clock sound on my iPhone

I can't figure out how to change the alarm sound on the Alarm Clock in my iPhone? Anybody got an idea for me?

What's wrong with you? Oh, now that you realized you made a mistake and I didn't say "Alarming"? The app tited "Alarmed" is the first thing that pops up if you search the App Store using the search term "Alarmed". It is also the name of the app as it appears on the screen of my phone. Oh, and the developer refers to it as "Alarmed" on his website.It may not have occured to you but, it is possible for more than one app to have the same name. Most of the people here are smart enough to figure out which one is the alarm clock by reading the description. But, we've already covered the reading comprehension thing,

Clock/Timer/Alarm for iPad

I just got my new iPad and am disappointed it doesn't have the iPod clock/timer/alarm. Does anyone know of a good app that will turn my iPad off after a certain length of time? Like if I fall asleep using something on my iPad?

Need help with my alarm clock, with Timer task and Timer classes

k everything is almost complete to get this alarm to work. It goes off and everything. But the thing is that it has a start button and when you click it to start the alarm the text changes to "Stop". This way if the user wants he can turn it off. Yet it works fine, the only problem is when the alarm actually goes off, the button text doesnt change back to "Start". Im not sure how to control private data members in classes from other classes. This is very fustrating, help would be apprieciated. here is the code that i have so far:

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

Is there a possibility to adjust pre and postroll-time?

Hello,
finally CS6 arrived and I am testing.
First impression: Very happy about the multiple clipboards!
Also, on first glance, the rest seems fine, better than 5.5.
BUT!
Is there a more detailled way to adjust pre and post-roll times?
Did I get this right: You can mark a part of the clip and click a few seconds before or after this area to adjust the pre- and post-roll?
But what if I want pre-roll 0.5 sec and postroll 20 minutes?
If you now ask why I should want that?!?
This was my workaround in Audition 3 to get the cursor play over highlighted areas without stopping: I had pre-roll on 0 sec and post-roll on 999 sec.
When I edited some part of the waveform (e.g. amplifying) I highlighted the area, used the effect and hit the spacebar to play. Normally the cursor stopped at the end of the highlighted area and I had to click in the waveform again. But with pre and post-times I could just hit the play-button after using the effect and everything was fine. This saved much time.
So. Does anybody know a way (or workaround) to change the pre and post individually in CS6?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Simon

Thank you ryclark,
this is definetely a good tip. I didn't know of the de-highlight-function with "g". I now made a macro with the logitech keyboard driver, making the space-bar a "space-plus-g"- bar.
I just have to remember to deactivate that makro when typing text
Perhabs some extra controller or another button on the keyborard might be handy as a stop/play toggle.
So, thanks again and all the best!
Simon
OFF-TOPIC:
Just got an idea about using my korg padkontrol as a controller for the keyboard shortcuts in audition.
Maybe this will be a new dimesnion in my workflow!
Worth a try...

Problem Changing Time Zones

Why does the Pre calendar change timezones automatically when traveling across the country? This is very frustrating! If I am in Los Angeles on Monday and get word of a meeting in New York at 12:00pm (noon) on Wednesday, I want to simply put the meeting into my calendar for Wednesday at noon. But after traveling across the country, my appointment for Wednesday has shifted forward 3 hours on my calendar because it thinks I had the meeting scheduled for 12:00pm WEST COAST TIME. The meeting now shows a start time of 3PM. If I change time zones again, the meeting on my calendar shifts again to reflect the change. My old palms didn't do this. The iphone doesn't do this. I think it is simply too much to ask of us to have to make time zone calculations in our heads before entering appointments. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP.

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

This feature can be turned off so the time zone will not be updated but the time still will be.
If you open your launcher and then look for date and time(normally on the 3rd page). Once in here turn off "network time zone" this way the time zone will not update when traveling anywhere.

How to change the alarm sound for CALENDAR events?

Is there a way to change the alarm sound for events in Calendar?
Setting another alarm in Clock is viable but obviously inconvenient.
Thanks in advance!

Why automatically [automatically change time] setting in win8?!!

in win8 that I have been install it on my macbook pro, system time automatically change after each time i set correct local time.
i was disable automatic time in win8 configuration, but that's not work.
i have a same problem with my previews system between osx 10.7 vs win7. on that case win7 time was ok, but osx time wrong.i try several times to set osx time but each time changed time after restart. I was disable all automatically options from both OS but my problem not solved.
now i need a help to manual set time in osx 10.8&win8 without automatically change...

The problem isn't so much that the time is changing as much as how Windows and OS X deal with time. It will never be correct for both. Windows sets your internal clock to "local time" which is the actual time you would use. OS X uses a Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) offset. Basically, OS X will set your internal clock to Greenwich Mean Time and then, based on your geographic location, it will add the correct number of hours based on your time zone. So, for OS X, your internal clock will always be the same time regardless of where you are in the world and the OS adjusts it to display the correct time. Windows actually sets your internal clock to your actual time.
So there is no way to have them both be correct... especially if you turn off auto updating. If OS X was the last OS to set the time (so your internal clock would be set to GMT) and you switch to Windows (this should only happen with BootCamp by the way) Windows will display the GMT (which would not be correct for your local time). Likewise, if Windows were the last OS to set your internal clock (so it would be set to your local time), when you switched back to OS X, OS X would "think" the internal clock is set to GMT and apply an offset so it would be however many hours your are from the GMT timezone hours off.

How to change iCal alarm defaults

I have one frequent event that requires an alarm when I put it on iCal. However there is no consistency to when that event occurs so each must be entered manually. This event can occur up to 6 times a month. When I set the alarm each time, the default is 11:45 the night before. I would rather have the default be same day at 8 am. Is there a way to change the default so I don't have to change each alarm event manually?

If it takes a while to input new information, it might be quicker to duplicate the event and change the due date & time. I don't think you can specify a time in the default, just minutes prior to.
