[teejay08]

hi guys.. i have an ipod touch 2g with 4.1 firmware and the alarm is not working. it used to work very well actually until yesterday it stopped making alarms. i didn't install any new apps before it happened that's why i was wondering what caused this problem to occur.. what i mean is that even if i set an alarm on, it doesn't alarm at all.. what do you think is the problem guys? can anyone help me?

Hay I think I know what happen. It's because of new years. Engadget said so yesterday at 10:00 pm here's what they said


PSA: iPhone alarms not working come New Year's Day 2011

We're not exactly sure of the cause of this fancy new issue affecting Apple's super cool iPhone line of cellphones, but apparently you've got trouble come 1/1/2011. According to an explosive stream of frustration-filled tweets on the Twitter microblogging service, when the clock strikes midnight, one off alarms will cease to sing out. The issue sounds eerily similar to recent Daylight Savings Time trouble we witnessed back in November, although we saw both repeating alarm and single alarm failures.

So how can you fix this potentially life-ruining problem? Well until Apple patches its OS -- and it's currently unclear if this is just iOS 4.2.1 or earlier versions as well -- you can simply create a recurring alarm at the time you need to be woken up, and then disable it once your dreams are completely ruined. We're taking a deeper look into the issue and have contacted Apple -- if we get more news, you guys will be the first to know. In the meantime, feel free to commiserate in comments, and... happy new year?

Update: 9to5 Mac says that the bug will get fixed all by itself once the calendar hits January 3rd. We haven't confirmed this, but if it turns out to be the case, that's pretty good news. In less good news, the issue seems to be affecting iOS 4.1 and 4.0.2 as well.

Update 2: Apple responded to us on the issue, though they didn't offer any surprises:
We're aware of an issue related to non repeating alarms set for January 1 or 2. Customers can set recurring alarms for those dates and all alarms will work properly beginning January 3.














Hey that what they said maybe that will help. if it does not work Then try to restore it, update it to iOS 4.2.1, or call apple and talk to them. Ok tell if any thing works
