iPhone 4 alarm not working since 01.01.2011

As most people have mentioned, recurring alarms remain operational.

I wondered if it was a date thing and tried a few dates, Jan 1 and 2 don't work but Jan 3 one off alarms work again...go figure.

Maybe Steve wanted us to sleep in on the first weekend of the year?! hmm

Woke up this morning and discovered I was totally LATE for work due to the alarm error. Came online immediately and realized I wasn't the only one. Although repeating of alarms did work but it was too late.

What a way to start off the year. Thanks, APPLE.

What compensation will Apple offer for those of us unfortunately enough to be working this morning 1st Jan, and 2 hours late to work?

None whatsoever

Look forward to your reply Apple..

You'll be looking for a long time. Theses are user to user forums.

It will start working again on the 3rd.. untill then if you get desperate, just manually change the date to the 3rd.

Just wanted to say that changed date on phone manually and now alarm works well Thank you for being able to supply a quick fix .Happy New Year to all

Calender reminders don't work either. And I really don't want to change the date manually to fix this problem, I want Apple to fix this. Preferably now.

I missed my flight to go snowboarding this morning. I am a light sleeper and I have never once missed a flight because of sleeping in. we had 2 alarms set on 2 iphones. Useless. Not happy !! How could apple let this happen!

Apple is kidding with it's iOS bugs or what ?????
I almost late to my work Today, thanks to my old phone which rang (I've backup alarm on it).
I confirm if I set alarms on repeating, they set on.

As a fellow computer programmer, allow me to congratulate all related Apple folks for this unexpectedly surprising muse of a feature.

As an iPhone4 user who paid Apple a tonload of money to buy their product,
and relied on their product to catch a health appointment somewhere in Europe on 8am on this January 1, 2011,
and missed that appointment due to the said feature,
allow me to express my disgust and disdain. For it is tiny, unbelievable instances like this that pinpoint what incompetence and decadence is really about.

Hopefully, Mr. Jobs will not be missing any appointments this morning, if he were to have any. Thanks to the far-out west time zone he is likely in, unlike me he is probably already aware not to rely on his iPhone4 for alarms in the following couple of days.

Happy New Year with wishes for good health and well-being to all,
Alexander Kolovos.

Hi, I saw this software bug on iOS 4.2.1 in the following way
1. The calendar app on main screen stayed as 'Friday 31'
2. When you selected the calendar app, the time/date showed correctly within the app
3. When you exited the calendar app, it showed the wrong date still ie 'Friday 31' as a icon

Cheers b

I've had 4 workers late for work due to no alarms which meant lost work. Does that mean you will compensate businesses and individuals for lost wages or production? No apple of course you won't what a joke never buying an iphone again!!!

iPhone: 3GS
Os:4.0.1
Alarm: not working
