Nov 8th, Alarm Bug not fixed...

[Orion126]

Mine worked great since I set my alarm daily (even though I wake up at 5:00 AM every weekday).

With all the media coverage telling you how to fix it I think it's your fault. If not then you should've at least tested it AND set a backup just in case.

And you know this how?

It doesn't matter if you delete and recreate alarms, it still does not work if it is a reoccurring alarm. I set two, both for 7am. The non-reoccurring alarm went off at 7am, the repeating alarm went off at 8am. There's no excuse for apple not to have fixed this other than their arrogance.

Based on the posts on this and other Alarm threads on Macrumors, It appears that some people continue to have an issue with recreated, recurring alarms and others are not having the problem IF they recreate a repeating alarm AFTER 11/7.
Until I know for sure, I'm just going to set my alarms daily. Not an elegant solution, but effective.

I can confirm that I've just tested a new repeat alarm today and it has gone off at the correct time. I tried exactly the same test last week (the clocks went back in the UK a week ago) and new repeat alarms were still going off one hour late.

I'm still going to use a single event back-up alarm tomorrow, just in case. 😉

In the States and it went off at the wrong time today.

The support document everyone is overhyping clearly states "AFTER November 7th, 2010", which may be today or next week.

In case you aren't aware, http://dictionary.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/after

See, and when I read a quote of the support document on another site it said "AFTER DST on November 7th, 2010" which led me to believe that if I set brand new alarms late yesterday, I should be in the clear. Either it was a typo or Apple changed the support doc. Of course, I can't find said article on "another site" and all the test alarms I set today work fine. I'm still not taking chances and am downloading a free alarm as a backup until iOS 4.2 comes out with the supposed fix.

Still not impressed...

It's only a bug for weekdays, your alarms seem to recurr every day (You mentioned yesterday...Sunday) Other folk have troubles with the M-F only alarms.

I have both type of repeat alarms and both work.

Damn it, its weekdays I need to wake up on time for work.
Anyone find a fix for this yet or just go in and set it up an hour early so it goes off the correct time?

Just deleted all of my alarms this morning and set up a test-recurring weekday alarm this morning (11/8) and that in fact DID work for me.

I am going to set an extra morning alarm an hour earlier, but I am thinking my new 'on-time' alarm will indeed work based on my test.

The alarm on my iPhone 3G running iOS 3.1.3 works perfectly without all this fannying around. 😀

Apple has a fix and it's in 4.2. They weren't going out of cycle just for this.

it's funny how many people don't realise this...

It's reported that if you delete the alarm, then recreate it today, it will work fine. The issue was with the entire day of Sunday it seems.

Ok, I deleted the weekday alarm and then went in and readded them.
Lets see how it goes tommorow morning🙂

My (repeat) alarm went off on time this morning. 😀

Seems like it's fixed itself.

My re-added M-F alarm worked as it should this morning too.

 

[TumbleDryer]

Want to stay in bed an extra hour?

"There's a bug for that!"

 

[Loonytik]

I added an alarm an hour early this morning just to be safe and it went off on time. I would rather have it wake me up an hour early than not go off at all.

Fixed!😀

 

[vong]

just deleted my alarms and set them up again as m-f @ 6AM hopefully it'll work

Yes, same here.
I was up on time🙂

 

[swirlybee]

i changed my alarm to 1 minute later and it worked.

I have a recurring alarm that goes off every morning to remind me to clock in at work. It went off an hour late on Monday. I just turned off the alarm, and turned it back on again. It's worked fine ever since. Didn't have to delete and recreate the alarm.
