Geek Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/iphone-alarm-new-years-bug.jpg" alt="iphone alarm new years bug" title="iphone alarm new years bug" width="320" height="106" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11427" /></p> <p>If you rely on an <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/iphone/">iPhone</a> alarm clock to wake up in the morning, pay attention: your alarm will not sound after New Years Eve. MacRumors <a href="http://www.macrumors.com/2010/12/31/iphone-clock-bug-prevents-alarm-triggers-after-new-years/">says</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>Apparently a bug in the iPhone clock app prevents non-recurring alarms from properly triggering on New Years day. I was able to confirm this after a couple of false starts. For the bug to show itself, your iOS device must actually tick over from 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2010 to 12:00 a.m. on January 1, 2011. </p></blockquote> <p>They also say the bug will resolve itself after January 3rd for no apparent reason. Presumably this bug effects all iOS devices and not just the iPhone, so if you use your iPod touch or iPad as an alarm clock this will likely effect you as well. So what are you to do? There’s a fix, sort of:</p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">Fix for the iPhone Alarm New Years Bug</h2> <p>The fix is easy and similar to the iPhone daylight Savings Time bug that surfaced earlier in the year: simply <strong>set up a new alarm as a recurring event</strong> (ie: make sure the alarm is scheduled for every day), this is said to cause the alarm clock to active as intended.</p> <p>Oh, and Happy New Year!</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/HWducRB3Bdyq5nl87E6NzAScQ8U/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/HWducRB3Bdyq5nl87E6NzAScQ8U/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/HWducRB3Bdyq5nl87E6NzAScQ8U/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/HWducRB3Bdyq5nl87E6NzAScQ8U/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=CEbKTRW3M5k:Wx4iQL2nEfA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=CEbKTRW3M5k:Wx4iQL2nEfA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=CEbKTRW3M5k:Wx4iQL2nEfA:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=CEbKTRW3M5k:Wx4iQL2nEfA:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=CEbKTRW3M5k:Wx4iQL2nEfA:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=CEbKTRW3M5k:Wx4iQL2nEfA:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=CEbKTRW3M5k:Wx4iQL2nEfA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/CEbKTRW3M5k" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
