Alarm Glitch on the iPhone

iPhone has a glitch in its alarm clock. The glitch is in the operating system where it will cause recurring weekday alarms to ring on time on Monday morning because of the end of Daylight Saving Time, which occurs at 2 a.m. on Sunday in the United States.

To iPhone users who use the alarm to wake them up should create one-time alarms specifically for Monday morning, said Apple spokeswoman Natalie Harrison. Or can opt delete and reset their iPhone's alarm clock. The iPhone's alarm app doesn't recognize the time change and will ring an hour late if users don't go into the program and manually reset the alarms.

"We suggest customers set nonrepeating alarms for now and reset after November 7 to resolve the issue," Apple will release an updated version of

its mobile software, iOS 4.2, later this month which will permanently fix the problem. Harrison said to CNN

If you're in the United States and want to create an iPhone alarm that will work Monday, follow these steps:

1. Open the Clock application.

2. Click on the Alarm icon at the bottom of the screen.

3. Click the "plus sign" icon in the top right corner.

4. Create an alarm and make sure you have the "repeat" option set to "never." (The glitch only occurs with repeat alarms, such as those workers set to wake them up at the same time each weekday).

5. Select the appropriate time and sound, and click "save."

6. After November 7, you can again create repeat alarms without trouble, but you should delete any recurring alarms that you set before that date, Harrison said.
