For the first two days of the year, neither is mine. Apple is promising to have it fixed by Monday, so make sure connect to the software update. Apple and the BBC said, “We’re aware of an issue related to non-repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2,” Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison said. “Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3.”


The anomaly appears to affect single alarm settings on the iPhone 4 and earlier models with software updates, the BBC said.

The alarm will reportedly start working fine again starting tomorrow January 3rd, but in the meantime, a fix has been spread on the Web.  Here are the instructions: 

  1. Tap clock
  2. Tap Edit
  3. Tap your alarm
  4. Tap repeat
  5. Set an interval repeat
  6. Tap save

Make sure you set an old fashioned alarm clock in the morning! 🙂
