Boss, the iPhone Alarm Was Late

There is a software glitch which will make iPhone alarms late this Monday. Apple iPhone users in the United States must remember to delete and then reset their phone's alarm clock -- otherwise they may say the above line on Monday morning -- for being an hour late for work.
This glitch in the iPhone's operating system will cause recurring weekday alarms not 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.

The phone's alarm app doesn't recognize the time change and will ring an hour late if left as it is.
If you depend on the iPhone for your wake up call, then you should create a one-time alarm specifically for Monday morning! Similar event affected users in Europe on Nov 1 2010. Later this month, Apple will release an updated version of its mobile software, iOS 4.2, which will fix the problem.

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.
