Why Doesnt The @#$% Alarm Go Off?

Does anybody else have a problem with the Alarm function in iPhone clock not working?
Last night a little after midnight I set the alarm to ring at 5:30 this morning. I chose "5:30" from a previous use by just turning the slider by that number "on."
Come 5:30 this morning.... NADA.
The sound switch on the side of the phone was turned "on" and the volume was turned up. Even if it was off, the thing should have vibrated.
Just to check, at 6:55 I re-set the alarm to ring at 7:00. Five minutes later the alarm went off.
I'd hate to think this is some unsolvable, intermittent bug. I mean, what f'ing good is an alarm you can't actually rely on?
Thanks,
--PS

Did you make sure to check that it was marked with AM? Sometimes I accidentally hit the AM/PM portion and the alarm was switched to PM instead of being AM.
Looking again at the list of times I selected from, I see the time listed as "5:30 AM." And there is no way that can see to obtain any further info about the setting.
One question - for the alarm you set by just moving the slider, were there any days listed under the alarm time? If repeat is set to a specific day or days, and the alarm is turned on, it will only sound on the specified day(s).
There are no days listed for the time that failed to go off. I've never set any repeats on an alarm, either.
So it's still a mystery.
Thanks,
--PS

    why doesnt the sound play off my speakers when i mirror my laptop to my apple tv?

    Answers can only be as helpful as the details provided.  And none were given here.  It is likely an issue with the device settings, and or a conflict with the type of audio encoding used in the video and the device(s) [tv, stero, amp, etc.] actually playing the audio.

  • Why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 is turned off

    why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 for is  turned  off works fine when on most other phones work when off

    The only phone I've ever had that would turn on and sound the alarm is a Blackberry. So, I'd hardly say "most phones" have this function.

    This is usually an indication that your headphones/earbuds are not plugged all the way in.  Double check the connection and make sure that no metal from the jack is showing.

  • Why doesnt the youtube and imessege work on my ipad

    why doesnt the youtube and imessege work on my ipad

    For iMessages there is some troubleshooting on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2755
    Has the YouTube app previously worked on the iPad, and have you ever synced the iPad with your computer ? This page for YourTube (which refers to a "Cannot connect to YouTube" error message) says :
    To use certain services, iTunes must download and install an authentication token on the device. Because iPad and iPod touch do not require an active Internet connection to activate, these tokens may not be downloaded and installed during initial setup.
    You can resolve this issue by verifying that iTunes has an active Internet connection. Use the following steps:
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    Verify that your Mac or PC has an active Internet connection by accessing the iTunes Store in iTunes.
    Connect your iPad or iPod touch to your Mac or PC.
    After the sync completes, verify you can access YouTube.

  • Why doesnt the smart filter mask move with the smart object?

    OMG Why doesnt the smart filter mask move with the smart object?  Yikes Way PITA

    If you look at the other tread about transform Again and smart Object layers you will find I found there seems to be two flavors of Transform and some bazar behaviors when it come to smart object layers. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4611500#4611500
    However for this problem here I think I can not show you how to do it.
    First target the smart filters Mask.  In fact so you can see what is happening Alt+Click on it so Photoshop displays the mask rather then the the composit image.  Then  use Ctrl+T free transform then just for a test hold down the Ctrl and the Alt keys and drag in a cornor to constrain and srink the Mask thee release the keys and press enter to commit the transform.
    Next target the smart object layer then use the short cut Ctrl+Shift+T (Transform Again) on a PC the smart object layer will be transformed to match the filter mask transform.

  • Why doesnt the netflix app have a continuous playing mode? I shouldnt have to select the next episode every 24 minutes.

    Why doesnt the netflix app have a continuous playing mode? I shouldnt have to select the next episode every 24 minutes. Even the cheap PS3 Netflix app supports this. 

    Compared to what?
    Does Netflix behave differently on other devices?

  • Why doesnt the Canada music store....

    why doesnt the Canadian music store have movies and TV shows and is there some way to make my itunes card work for the US store
    thanx

    You will have to address this issue with the Canadian copyright holders for this content as to when they will make it available to Apple for download, As to using the US store, you will have to have a US credit card with an attached US billing address to use the US store. This is again due to restrictions placed on Apple by the copyright holders who do not care for cross-border sales.

  • HT4623 why doesnt the ipad2 have siri app if when you do the download it said you will have it

    why doesnt the ipad2 have the app siri when you do the update

    The iPad 2 cannot run Siri. It lacks a piece of hardware to make the software work. If the 2 could have handled Siri, it'd have gotten it a year ago.
    And if you read the footnotes on the iOS7 release, you'll see that it clearly states that Siri is not on the 2.

  • Why doesnt the iPhone keep a few percent of battery life up it's sleeve to allow the alarm to go off?

    Fifteen years ago, and for ten years running, spanning Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Ericsson and a couple of cheapies, I had the ability to set an alarm and it would wake me in the morning. Even if my phone went flat! I know none of these devices had the same drain as an iPhone, but surely the clever people at apple could design some code that will "kill" the phone at 5% battery so it's got enough charge for the alarm to function.
    Knowing some people would prefer that the phone doesn't shut down at 5%, a setting could be applied in an "alarm clock " section of the "settings" app, or it could be applied only when an alarm is active.
    I just don't think that an iPhone should lack functionality that was available to be on a Nokia 5110 ;-)

    Submit your feedback requesting this feature directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    In the meantime, if you plug the iPhone in at night, you shouldn't have a problem.

  • New iPhone 4 doesn't always sound or vibrate when the alarm goes off

    I use the alarm every morning. This morning, when I woke up two hours late, I looked at my iPhone and saw that the screen showed that the alarm was going off. But there was zero sound or vibration being produced which is what it usually does.
    I immediately went into a game app that I know produces sound to make sure nothing was wrong with the speakers and it was fine.
    This is the second time this has happened in two weeks. The first time was with a recurring alarm. This morning was with a one-time only alarm.
    Anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?
    Thanks.

    STILL NOT **&&!*** WORKING, APPLE.
    how hard can this be?
    "It just works!"  No.  It doesn't.
