Alarm song

I downloaded a song and chose it to play with an alarm. But the alarm is silent. Any solutions?

Hi, I'm having this same trouble as well, however there's a catch. I've went in and changed the alarm to a song that's not downloaded as Apple Lossless, and it works just fine. However, when I change the song to one that IS downloaded as Apple Lossless, the alarm is silent and causes no vibration, even though I have vibration selected. Any ideas on that?

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities Idfp,


We understand you're not hearing the song you've selected to play as your alarm.


If the song is in your library as a streaming track try downloading it.


Should the issue persist, test a different track to see if the same issue occurs. If it's isolated to one song, try removing the track, then re-adding and redownloading it.

We hope this helps!
