Alarm goes off an hour early when set for weekdays

There are two settings for the Time Zone. One is Settings>General>Time and Date>tIme Zone and the other is Settings>Mail Contacts Calender in the Calendar section at the very bottom of the scrolled screen. Are both set correctly?

I've just run into this problem on an iPod Touch 2nd Gen. We've just switched from British Summer time and suddenly my alarms are an hour late. I've been using alarms for years and never had this happen. I'm guessing this is an iOS4 feature (like the battery only lasting 2 days instead of a week and a half).

This just started happening to me too. Except we have not gone through daylight savings time yet. thats next week. I just did set another alarm, and yes it too went off an hour early. The ipod alarm has worked flawlessly for a long time and this morning it woke me up an hour early. I couldn't believe it. I just stared at the screen and couldn't understand what was happening. Yes my time zone is set correctly, yes everything is normal. This is apples fault. They better fix this soon or there will be a lot of people who are going to get really really mad when their beloved apple starts waking them up an hour early.....

Same problem here.
UK went back to GMT on Sunday morning, now ALL my repeating alarms are going off an hour later than they should.
I've checked the time, and the time zone on both the clock settings and the calendar settings. All appears fine.

One-off alarms work at the correct time - make them repeating and they go off an hour later.

Strangely enough - the settings for THIS forum think UK is still on GMT+1. Come on Apple - sort this bug!

Same issue. Both time zones are correct and Daylight Savings Time has been changed a year or so ago to match the US that recently adopted a new way of recognizing DST. It goes off an hour earlier than expected.

Would have posted earlier but my previous forum login seems to email me a password reminder that never gets sent.

Lk.

Same issue here.
Both iCal alerts and repeating clock alarms trigger at unexpected times (one hour early or one hour late). Single alarms work as expected. My timezone is CET and we recently switched from DST.

After some experimenting, I found also that non-repeating alarms go off at the right time. Repeating alarms are off by 1 hour, UNLESS you make the alarms repeating for all seven days of the week, than it works again OK.
All of this crap started to become visible after the device switched back from daylight saving time, which happened last Sunday here in W-Europe.
I am sure that over time thousands of operating systems have been built which provide correct daylight saving time routines. Isn't it a shame Apple releases in 2010 - yes, in 2010 - an OS which shows this kind of behavior?

It's comforting (perhaps?) to know I'm not alone, although I already knew that because my friend with an iPhone 3GS, same version of iOS, has reported the same thing: namely, in my case, an iPod Touch, iOS 4.1, had an alarm set that has consistently sounded an hour late since the weekend. This occurred just after the switch from DST to GMT so I thought it might be the reason. Then I programmed a new alarm and it worked fine. (However, modifying the time of the "bad" alarm didn't fix it.)
I assumed this was something to do with the way the first alarm had been stored - which was prior to the clock change. However the clues here seem to suggest it may be a "feature" of the weekday repeating setting. I'll do some more checking because the faulty alarm happened to be a weekday repeat, whereas the working one was a one-off alarm! Whatever the reason, not good: late for work!

Both my I phone... and my Ipod- the alarm is not working. I had mine set daily, and it started waking me an hour early, and one day it didn't go off at all. My ipod doesn't matter what I set it on, weekdays, a daily- it stopped working completely. My iphone- i changed it from daily to weekdays, and not it seems to work. Apple needs to get some people on this. I didn't pay all this money to keep having issues like this.

I have used my I-pod Touch for my morning alarm since I got it a year ago. AFter upgrading the OS I , too, am awoken an hour early every morning. It doesn't matter if I set it for one day, multiple days, etc. All times/time zones etc. are set correctly. The Touch time is correct, the clock time is correct, the alarms are screwed up. Very frustrating. Jan

Does Apple have a fix for this? I guess setting the alarm to go off every day might work? My alarm goes off 1 hour late once we set our clocks back last week. I also confirmed that if I set the alarm manually, it works properly. But recurring alarm does not.

This just started on my iPod as well and this is HIGHLY annoying. None of my settings have been changed, they're still set the way I chose almost a year ago. The only difference is iOS4 is on my iPod. This is ridiculous of Apple to make this kind of mistake and it's yet another issue with them that I know have with them.

Hopefully they will acknowledge this and send out a fix asap. I dislike being woken up an hour earlier or not hearing it at all as I'm a heavy sleeper.

I have the same problem with my ipod touch 2G
