A bunch of saved alarms disappeared

I don't have an answer to your question, I just thought I'd report having the same problem. It happened to me twice within the last 12 hours.
iPhone 3GS iOS 5.0.1 as well.

Same thing. The alarms were all there last night, including the one set for 6 am. I woke up around 4 amd and decided 6 am was too early and they were all gone. Set a new one for 6:30 am but the one at 6 am still went off.

I had the same problem this am. I have 4 alarms set in my phone. One daily, one for saturdays and one for sundays. The 4th was not turned on. After i edited the 4th one & hit save, all the other ones vanished. So I quickly re-set them up. After all that, at the time the one i edited was supposed to go off, IT DID. i know it was the original one due to the name i gave it. So now what? My phone shows 4 alarms, but now i possibly have 3 other hidden ones?? this is very annoying and there doesnt seem to be an answer to our problem. Nothing else had changed. I plugged in my phone to charge last night as I always do. My regular daily alarm woke me up today. No updates happened. I want my alarms to reappear. Because now what it looks like is that tomorrow (Saturday) i will have two different alarms going off at the same time. ARGH!

Somebody somewhere at Apple must know about this bug (or at least its potential) because there is a fix. It's not elegant, but it does the trick.

Create at least one new alarm. Then delete all the alarms. There seems (in my experience) to be a clean-up process that happens when you delete the last alarm, it removes all of the "hidden" ones as well. This is either good programming by a paranoid programmer or a tacit acknowledgement that the problem does exist and that this is a workaround to solve for it.

Thank you so much!! Sounds odd but I will try it as soon as I get home!

Same here - lost 6 or 7 alarms. Just installed iOS 5.1.

This has happened to me 4 seperate times when I go and edit an alarm. Every single alarm deletes. This only happened since the iOS 5.1 update. When I search Apple support for a solution, they want to charge me for help.

Hi, It happened to me as well, too many times and I am really nervous about it. Does the solution suggested by tvjames really work for somebody? I used to have tons of alerts in there, and it's unforgiveble to lose them. Thanks

yes - delete all alarms & re set them up & the problem goes away. I havent had a problem since

I decided to try fixing it by restoring it. So far so good. But the disappearing alarms are speratic. I will update if this doesn't work. I didnt try what tvjames suggested. Good luck.

Me too! iPod Touch 4th Gen. iOS 5.1.1

I edited one of my alarms and then they were just all gone!

Happened again this morning. Alarm was set for 5:50 am, but I decided that was too early. So I edited the alarm for 6:30 and then forgot to hit "Save." When I woke up at 7, I pressed the home button, entered my password and it returned to the alarms page (where I could see the unsaved 6:30 am alarm.) I set it for 7:15 am and pressed Save.

It went off correctly at 7:15, I silenced it somehow (not snooze) and pressed the top button to turn off the screen. Then I realized I ought to re-set it to 5:50 so I pressed the home button, entered my password and it took me to the World Clocks screen of the Clock app. I went to the alarms page and it was blank again.

I'll try to be more mindful of what I did just prior to them disappearing next time they all disappear. I probably had 9 alarms that I need to recreate.

Me too! I'm running and iPhone 3GS iOS 5.1. I had about 20 alarms in my list. Maybe 7 of them turned on. I edited one this morning, it took me back to the Alarm screen and they're ALL gone! Just a blank screen.

This is the second time it has happened to me. It happened about 2 weeks ago too. I've only just activiated iCloud Calendar 2 weeks ago. Could iCloud have anything to do with alarms getting wiped?

(Note - I'm not referring to event reminders for calendar items, but alarms in the Clock app, like everyone else in this forum.)

Has happened two or three times to me; I want to say twice before iOs 5.1, and now once during 5.1.

I had like 12 alarms (busy schedule) and I just added another one and *poof*, all the alarms were gone.

Hope Apple fixes this bug soon, it's very frustrating to remember what all the alarms were for, and when.

This just happened to me. I have (or had) maybe 20+ alarms. I use this for everything. Went to add a new one, hit save, and the whole bloody lot disappeared. I can't believe it. I can't remember what they all were, that's why I set the alarms to remind me! I am going to be lost for days now wondering what I have forgotten. I am never going to remember them all. This is pretty much a disaster for me. Thanks Apple. 3GS, iOS 5.1.1
