Series 60 alarm problems

i have had 7 s60 devices in my time:
3650
6600
6630
n70
n73
e65
n95-8gb
during owning these i've only ever had one problem i couldn't fix, neither with a firmware update nor, more recently, a little hack.
the alarm sometimes fails to go off in the morning.
at first i thought it was just me sleeping heavily, but i tested a few times and it sat in front of me and went past 9pm and the alarm didn't even make an attempt to go off.
this has been the case with all my s60 devices with the exception to the n73 which i didn't have long enough to even try the alar,
surely i'm not the only one????

Followup Info:
The long time to boot only occurs, or so it seems, when Airport is turned on. It does not seem to matter if there is a wireless network available or not. Turning Airport off before shutting down or logging off and not turning it on till after the log in process has completed seems to result in normal operation.
Why would Airport block the login process for a half hour or more????

Mac Pro (early 2008) - a series of problems

Like many people here, I've been hit with a series of Mac Pro (early '08) issues. I've had the machine for a little over a month and I love it when it's working. But recently, the aforementioned "series of problems" has arisen - ATI graphics card freeze, reboot from sleep, etc.
But the weirdest, and perhaps most troubling issue is one with my main hard drive (Hitachi 1 TB) in Bay 1 (I have another 1 TB drive [Seagate] in Bay 2). The temperature of my Hitachi drive hovers around 101-106 degrees when active, and stays in mid-90s when relatively idle. I was wondering if this is considered a normal temp range for a hard disk? The Segate drive in Bay 2 runs around 88 degrees at its hottest (according to the iStat widget). While it's not used as much as the start-up drive, I am a bit alarmed by the difference in the temperatures of the drives...
Possibly related to this is the fact that my start-up drive (Hitachi) has some disk repair issues pop up when I ran Disk Utility. This might be due to all the hard shut downs I had to do because of the ATI graphic card freezes, but I was dismayed to see it happen so early in the computer's lifecycle.
And finally -- and I know this is a long post; I appreciate those you have stuck around -- I noticed on my Hitachi drive that I seemed to "lose" about 25 gigs of data. Not stuff that I lost because it was deleted, but rather it was as if I had transferred a huge 25-gig file onto the hard disk which took up the space.
For instance, earlier in the day, it said I had 490 gigs available, but several hours later, after transferring nothing to the hard drive, it mysteriously said I had 469 gigs available. Has anyone experienced anything like this before?
Thanks for your time...

When I purchased my Mac Pro in mid-January from the local Apple store, I also bought two Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 1 TB drives from the Apple Store which they installed. I configured these drives as a Raid 0 array for use with Final Cut Studio 2. This Raid array of two 1 TB Hitachi drives has worked flawlessly. My OS is located on the 320 GB Seagate that came with the stock configuration of the Mac Pro under heavy A/V application use. The Hitachi 1 TB drives are known to run a little hotter than other drives, but I don't have any software that monitors the temperatures on my Hitachi drives so I cannot say if they are running as warm as you have noted. Here is a link to a review of the 7K1000 that showed an operating temperature of 31-39 degrees Centigrade in moderately heavy use:
http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=2969.
Based on what you have reported here is what I would do: (1) Erase and zero your Hitachi 1 TB system drive. This will take several hours but will map out any bad sectors on the drive. (2) REinstall your OS and applications. I would not restore from TM because you may have backed up the problems that were existing on your system drive.
The Hitachi 1 TB drives are thermally protected. Here is the complete data sheet on the Hitachi 1 TB drive: http://www.hitachigst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/techdocs/67A68C59B27368FC862572570080 FC70/$file/Deskstar7K1000010307final.pdf
It really does not sound to me like your drives are the problem and that they are probably operating within normal limits, but a call to Hitachi tech support would probalby clear that up firmly.

I am unable to find the Listener problem because at present it listener is up.
Please help to find the root cause because there 3 Listener.ora

Missed a flight due to Alarm Problem!

I don't know why apple didn't send out any warning messages to users about this issue. Apple really upsets me!

No, January 1st is NOT when the i Phone alarm problem hit -- Apple has known about this problem since it first showed up on iPhones in New Zealand in October. see this Apple Insider report from last November:
"The new support document [<http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3542>]*, published on Wednesday [11/03/10], comes days after Apple made headlines with an iPhone bug that caused repeating alarm clocks to go off late across Europe. The issue occurred because of a change from daylight saving time, and could repeat itself in the U.S. on Sunday when America concludes daylight saving.
Apple's documentation notes that users can resolve the issue by setting the repeat interval on an alarm to "Never." If users reset their alarm every day, the daylight saving bug will not affect them.
The support note says that after daylight saving ends in the U.S. on Nov. 7, users will be able to set their alarms to repeat again. The iOS issue affects the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 3G, as well as the fourth-, third- and second-generation iPod touch models.
In October, the same bug caused alarm clocks in New Zealand to go off an hour early. Apple said it was aware of the issue and had already developed a software fix, but it has not yet been released.
This week, Apple released the golden master of iOS 4.2, the next software update for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, to developers. Golden master status suggests that the software is finalized and a release to the public is imminent. It's possible that Apple could release the software update before this Sunday, allowing users who update their iPhone to iOS 4.2 to avoid the daylight saving bug."
*Apple Support doc: <http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3542> posted November 3, 2010, which said:
"Symptoms
In some regions, shortly before or after the daylight saving time (DST) change, repeating alarms created in the Clock app may work incorrectly.
Products Affected
iPod touch (2nd generation), iPod touch (3rd generation), iPhone 4, iPhone 3G, iPod touch (4th generation), iPhone 3GS
Resolution
To resolve this behavior for existing alarms, set the repeat interval to Never. You will need to reset these alarms for each day you need them.
After November 7th, 2010, you can set your alarms to repeat again"
NB: This Apple Support doc was posted 11/03/10, and has not been updated since.
But the problem didn't "fix itself" on 11/07/10, after the DST change, and it didn't fix itself today, January 3, 2011 -- Apple's next promised date that the iPhones would "fix themselves," -- as both my daughter in CT, and my son-in-law in KC, KS can attest: their iPhone "wake-up" alarms both went off an hour late, in different time zones.

Computerworld IT Watch
iPhone alarm clock glitch: Still not working; iOS bug FAIL
By Richi Jennings. January 3, 2011
Despite Apple's promise that it would fix itself by today, the iOS alarm clock glitch is still making pomaceous owners oversleep. iPhone and iPod Touch alarms stubbornly persist in not working due to yet another bug with alarms. In IT Blogwatch, bloggers rub their eyes in disbelief.
From SkyNews, 01/03/11
An Apple spokeswoman released a statement to Macworld on Jan. 2 saying it was aware of the problem and that the alarm on the £499 ($773) handset would begin functioning normally again Monday.
However, the firm has yet to release a further statement on the problem.
Read more: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Technology/iPhone-Users-Say-Alarm-Clocks-Yet-to -Be-Fixed/Article/201101115878764
from CNNTech, 01/03/11 ,http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/mobile/01/03/iphone.alarms.mashable/index.html?hpt= Sbin>:
"Apple said yesterday that the failure of its clock app only happens when you set a one-time alarm, and it will somehow fix itself on January 3.
"We have made a call and sent an e-mail into Apple asking why this happened."
From PC Magazine: <http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2374971,00.asp>:
"iPhone Alarms Still Silent On January 3 "Self-Fix" Date"
"Just two days ago, we reported about a frustrating glitch for those using various permutations of iOS 4 on Apple's iPhones—specifically, an annoying bug that was preventing one's mobile alarm from ringing on either day.
"The bug allegedly only affected single alarms set for either January 1 or January 2. According to Apple itself, the company was aware of the issue and was advising users of a crafty workaround—setting recurring alarms for either day, which would bypass the issue for whatever reason. And according to said Apple spokesperson, the bug would allegedly go away on its own come January 3.
Or so we all thought.
"Reuters is now reporting that some iPhone users are indicating that the alarm issue persists, a claim that's being slowly backed up by affected users' Twitter posts."
Washington Post 01/013/11:
<http://voices.washingtonpost.com/fasterforward/2011/01/iphonealarm_problemspersist.html?wprss=fasterforward>
"iPhone alarm problems persist

Call it Y2K-11. When a bug kept iPhone and iPod touch alarms from sounding on Jan. 1 and Jan. 2, Apple suggested that those having trouble should set recurring alarms, and that the alarms would fix themselves by Jan. 3, the first work day of 2011."
Yahoo News, UK & Ireland, 01/03/11: <http://uk.news.yahoo.com/22/20110103/ttc-uk-apple-asia-fe50bdd.html>
"Some iPhone users in Asia and Europe complained of malfunctioning alarms on the first working day of 2011, even after Apple reassured users that its phones' built-in clocks will work from Monday.
"Bloggers, Facebook and Twitter users complained they missed flights or were late to arrive at work, as the alarm built into Apple's iPhone failed to go off for a third straight day for some users."

iPhone alarms hit by New Year glitch
Setting New Year single alarms was to no avail
A glitch on Apple's iPhone has stopped its built-in alarm clock going off, leaving many people oversleeping on the first two days of the New Year.
Angry bloggers and tweeters complained that they had been late for work, and were risking missing planes and trains.
Apple has acknowledged the problem and says it will be fixed by 3 January.
The reason has not been given but the glitch appears to affect single alarm settings on the iPhone 4 and earlier models with software updates.
“According to the company, the problem will resolve itself on 3 January, but that is two days late for many people”
Jonathan Fildes
BBC Technology reporter
A similar problem hit the iPhone alarm when the clocks went back in November, again causing many users to be late for work or for transport arrangements.
"We're aware of an issue related to non-repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2," Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison said in a statement quoted by Macworld.
"Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3."
'Two days too late'
"BBC Technology reporter Jonathan Fildes says the problem is embarrassing for Apple, not only because of previous problems that came to light when the clocks changed, but because the company prides itself on the simplicity of use of its products.
"This seems like another simple error, but it cannot afford to have too many before its reputation becomes tarnished, he says.
"Apple should have learnt from that example and seen this one coming, he adds. According to the company, the problem will resolve itself on 3 January, but that is two days late for many people.
"More than 1.7m people around the world had bought iPhone 4 handsets by June 2010, in what was the company's most successful product launch."
DEAR APPLE DISCUSSION GROUP MODERATORS:
This is not a rant, I'm simply reporting the news regarding the situation with the iPhone Alarm function as it stands this morning, 01/03/11. People claiming that this was a new problem as of 01/01/11 are simply wrong, as your own TS doc <http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3542> of November 03, 2010 clearly attests.
It would certainly be helpful to know the latest Apple timetable for the iPhone alarm problem to "fix itself," or if Apple has managed to come up with any workarounds, other than the third-party alarm clock apps that are available for the iPhone.
Best of luck.

¿Cual puede ser el problema con unos calendarios importados a icloud que se sincronizan perfectamente con mi iphone pero no con mi mac?.

¿Cual puede ser el problema con unos calendarios importados a icloud que se sincronizan perfectamente con mi iphone pero no con mi mac?. Aclaro que no es un problema de la configuracion ya que si añado nuevas entradas al calendario si se sincronizan. Mas bien parece que las entradas importadas originalmente tuvieran algun problema interno que solo afecta al MAC.

La aplicaciones que compraste con la cuenta vieja solo podran ser actualizadas via la cuenta vieja. No hay manera de "fusionar" las dos cuentas.
Las aplicaciones (y canciones etc) estan atadas a la cuenta de la cual se ejecuto la compra.

Vivaz alarm problem

Ok so i bought a new Vivaz and because of my working hours i need 2 daily alarms. My problem is even though i press the stop key the alarm will repeat itself at random intervals, sometimes after 15 minutes other times after 37 or 23 minutes, one day the alarm repeated itself after 4 hours and 22 minutes i looked in the settings but i didn't find anything, i even reinstalled the phone software. And the second problem i have is that sometimes when i start the camera and want to make pictures it says that there isn't enough memory and i should stop some applications, but the camera is the only one that is running.
if anyone can help it will be gratly apreciated, thank you

even after updating the software the alarm problem remains ??
whats ur default storage for camera ??

Alarm problem ios 8 malfunction

Since upgrading, my alarm won't go off. For years, I've kept my iphone on do not disturb and I still get woken up. My sounds setting is with the volume all the way up and the setting of Change w Buttons is off. At first I assumed it was a wifi problem because I deleted my stored music. So, yesterday I downloaded my wakeup song. Again, today no wake up. No vibration, even though the vibration is on. I haven't found any complaints about this bug. When I finally do wake up, the Alarm function is on the screen, but no vibration or song. Help!

Re: Alarm problem ios 8 malfunction
Yes, I have the same issue. Song only plays once and that's it. (mine is also iPhone 5s on iOS8)
The whole alarm thing on the iPhone is very substandard in that one actually has to find the right buttons/sliders when still half asleep and eyes and mind half closed. Impossible for me, so I still rely on my good old Nokia phone (no SIM card in it but it still does many functions without) as a reliable alarm. It beeps, I press Snooze and it repeats after 10 minutes etc. Easy!
I think the Apple guys should work a bit harder on this topic as I am sure many folks rely on their phone to wake them up. But it is too fumbly and unreliable which is not good enough for such an expensive product.

Line chart with more than 15 data series - color problem

Hi all,
I've built a line chart with 32 data series (user can control, which of them are displayed at a time). For series 16 to 32 I did manipulate the URL in the browser directly, because Application Express does only display parametrs for up to 15 series. This works fine so far except of displaying the colors. For each sieries I defined a different color. 29 of my 32 series are displayed in the desired color. But series 29, 31 and 32 are displayed in a default-color (#0099CC). It seems that this is a SVG-problem. In the SVG-source I find the wrong color. When I export my application, I see the right color.
Thanks for help,
Chris

Hello,
Which version of APEX are you using?
Go to your Flash Chart attributes - get into your series (click the icon) in the section of Series Query you'll find the maximum rows.

ICal alarm problem

I set alarms for most calendar events. They work fine if I have the computer turned on when the alarm is scheduled to go off. However, alarms will not show up if they are scheduled to go off when my Mac is not turned on. For example, if I set an alarm for tomorrow to go off at 10am (for an event later in that day), and I start up my computer at 11am, the alarm doesn't show up. I have the "turn off alarms when iCal is not open" box unchecked. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for any help.
The Entourage alarm will show all alarms that were due (or overdue) when I start up my Mac. I'm assuming that iCal should function the same way? Other than this alarm business, I prefer the Mac Mail/iCal/Address Book system, so I would like to continue using them.

Not really, as it works for other people. The next thing I would try is to make a new user, log on as that user, make sure that iCal and Scheduler are in the startup items, and create a couple of events with alarms. Shutdown and restart after the alarms should have fired and log in as the new user.
If the alarms fire, the problem is in some setting or file in your normal account. If not, it is something system-wide. Post back anyway. You can get rid of the new user again - some people keep a spare around for tests like this, but I think it is better for such tewsts to be run in a newly-created account.
I will be away for a couple of weeks, likely with no internet access, so I suggest you start a new topic with a summary of everything tried so far. Maybe someone else will spot something.

5800 alarm problem

My phone has a problem with the alarm, it doesn't ring at the right time, sometime 2 min. late, sometime 15 min. late & sometime even 30 min. late.
I have upgraded the firmware of my phone from v21 to v31 formatted the memory card & the hard reset the phone before update & after update.
It was working properly before the firmware update, is this a problem in the new firmware, if so it needs to be fixed as soon as possible, cause I depend on my mobiles alarm to wake up fro office (currently using my wife phone fro that purpose)

The point is to change it and put something else there. Altering the snooze time has been known to put things like this right.
FWIW, I never had problems like this on V21 but I'm now plagued with them on V30 and then V31. The alarm goes off at the wrong time, the phone exits timed profiles late if at all, and scheduled backups happen only randomly. The firmware is buggy, there's no denying that.

Touchsmart 310 1110 uk. Intel (R) 6 Series chipset problems.

What are these issues?
Although the site explains it reasonable well it isn't crystal clear, in fact the graphics are terrible, if I didn't know beter i would think that they didn't want me to find out if I have a PC with chipset issues.
Is there a place to go to automatically test and diagnose for the presence of these chipset issies?
I have only recently discovered this and according to their site I have to act within 15 days, I have 2 days left. I think that's a bit naughty anyway. Surely when you register your product they should have automatically informed me that there may be a problem. I do think that a have these problem chips.

@TheFamilyTech
Here is the driver page for your notebook which includes the HP customized drivers.

As you mentioned that the update utility was not working for you, try uninstalling the existing driver and use the one from here and see if it works for you.

Not sure what this is and the Itunes help has not been able to solve it. Downloads seem to work fine till about 110MB (about a fourth of the TV show) and then it refuses to download anymore.
Anyone else encounter this problem? What worked?

Hi, yes there is a way to you your TV series on your other mac and, if I'm not mistaken, even your laptop.

Series Downloads problem

Hi everyone,
I am having trouble downloading a TV series onto my Windows Laptop from itunes.
I have already downloaded 1 episode of the series through iTunes and it wont let me download the remainder of my purchase. It keeps saying that I have not downloaded the first episode, but I have, and then it tries to download the first episode again, with no sign of the other 23.
I have removed the download and tried to start the series download again, but no luck. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Kaz

try this:
in iTunes, access your *purchase history* via your account in the iTunes store,
find the file(s) in question, and click on the *report a problem button*. report the problem.
clicking here should take you directly to your iTunes store log-in window.

Alarm problem solve

Most likely it the app notification. Settings nitivications apps and check alarm app and turn nitivications back on. This did it for me. When I got the phone, I turned of some of them and the problem started
