Alarm clock fails as of Jan 1

Hi!
On top of the alarm issue I find that all the birthdays set in my Contacts have been moved forwards a day or more. In addition the date wheels used to set the date are a day offset from what ends up displaying in the saved contact. Like I have to set 1 November on the date wheel to get the contact birthday date to show 31 October. I haven't checked all yet, but its jolly annoying when my contacts is supposed to be the 'safe' place to keep this info.

LOL, not real creative but a little funny.

The temperature sensor has gone out in my oven, a GE. Time to replace it, guess I should scratch GE due to poor engineering, etc, etc.

"guess I should scratch GE due to poor engineering, etc, etc. "

No, not if it's just your oven. Only if every GE oven in the world developed the same fault and the company didn't appear concerned.

Sorry I can't answer your question Nigwil but I searched in the box on the right for 'birthdays day out'. I saw a few threads concerning this problem and from what I read they don't resolve it. The most comprehensive I saw, with 59 replies, is

while others fizzled out after one or two replies, such as

though that suggestion of a time zone issue sounds to me like an explanation if not a fix. You may have some luck repeating your post on one of these threads or maybe someone will come back here with a solution; I do hope so and wish you well.

Thanks deggie sounds great, that's the best value I have ever seen mentioned in the same paragraph as the word iPhone We seem to be overcharged for everything in this country 🙂

Just let me know, I suggest you avoid July and August. It is a bit hot here at that time.

No, not if it's just your oven. Only if every GE oven in the world developed the same fault and the company didn't appear concerned.

And if your oven burned a $600 roast on a holiday when you had 10 guests waiting to eat, we would be supportive of your desire to complain about it on a GE forum. Even if theoretically other ovens could fail in a similar way (but haven't).

But metaphors suck, and I doubt you'd be so emotionally attached to an oven to irrationally support it.

Thanks jijij for the helpful response. N

... and thanks nigwil for this lesson for Apple in how they should have behaved - I didn't solve your problem but I acknowledged it, admitted I couldn't fix it, had a quick look at where you might find help and made a couple of suggestions without implying you were to blame. And you were happy with that.
