Re: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
As far as I know, you can change the native alarm clock app to alarm for example, Monday through Friday and not go off on Saturday and Sunday or only once a week if you like but as far as I know, you cannot set up the alarm clock to go off on a specific month and date.

Re: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
The only thing I can think of is something like setting a repeating alarm say for Monday through Friday at 6 AM for example and leave Saturday and Sunday turned off. That would give you the ubiquitous Monday through Friday schedule and that would repeat until you changed it Regards, Alan Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All!

Re: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
Thanks. I really thought I done this in iOS6, perhaps not with Siri but at least in the Clock app itself. I may be mistaken, though.

After all, before we had iPhones and used regular alarm clocks this is what you would do. I just had a look and the only option for an alarm that is more than 1 day ahead is to set a repeating alarm.

This would set a 7 AM for every Monday and I would just have to delete or turn off that alarm if I only wanted it once. At best this would allow you to set an alarm for up to 6 or 7 days in advance. If you were concerned you forget to set an alarm the evening before you needed it you could always tell SIRI to remind you to set the alarm on a specific day in the future, then when the reminder goes off the evening before you just hold down the home key and say Wake me up at 6 AM and it's done.

Re: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
Hello Alex and all, it is possible to edit and change the date of the alarm in ios 7. For already set alarm do the following: 1. Open clock app and double-tap edit button on the top left of the screen. 2. find the alarm you want to edit. There is something like for example:alarm 7:00 on/off (it depends whether the alarm is active) or not. Just double-tap on the alarm and by flicking right you can find and change hours, minutes and other things. I hope my explanation makes sense.

RE: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
Hi, Actually, in the clock app, you can change the day (as in day of the week) on which an alarm repeats but you cannot change the date. If you want an alarm on a specific date, you would have to do that in calendar or reminders.

Re: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
Open the clock app. Double-tap on the alarms tab to select it. All alarms will be listed with their time, and on / off status. Double-tap on edit in the upper left corner. Now, double-tap on the alarm to be modified. Double-tap on repeat to enter the day selector. Double-tap on any day to change its status. This has always been the case in the clock app for setting alarms. Just because Siri cannot set an alarm for any day past tomorrow does not mean the functionality is not there.

Re: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
A few people have already pointed out that you can select the days of the week the alarm will go off in the repeat options, but I think Alex was wanting to have an alarm go off at 7AM on December 28, and I don't see this ability in the clock app. I'm sure Alex will correct me if this isn't what he was looking for.

Re: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
Actually, I also seem to remember that before iOS7 one used to be able to set a day of the week without having to use repeat but yes this does work. Also you can do repeat alarms with Siri such as: I want to set an alarm for 9 AM every Saturday. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen Lord.

RE: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
Sieghard and others, I can confirm that setting an alarm more than one day in the future does not work with Siri and Pre-iOS 7. I'm running iOS 6.1.4 and just asked Siri to set an alarm on December 27th and she came back with I can't set an alarm more than one day in the future. Would you like to set a reminder?

I seem to remember that I tried this once and SIRI told me it couldn't be done and to consider using a Reminder instead. I find this not such a big deal, after all, mostly you either have a recurring alarm if you get up at the same time each weekday, for example, or if you need a special alarm then I find it to be fairly normal and intuitive to set it the evening before. After all, before we had iPhones and used regular alarm clocks this is what you would do. I just had a look and the only option for an alarm that is more than 1 day ahead is to set a repeating alarm. For example, it's Wednesday now and if I want to set an alarm for next Monday at 7 AM I could select 7 AM as the time, then tap on Repeat, Never and select to repeat the alarm every Monday. This would set a 7 AM for every Monday and I would just have to delete or turn off that alarm if I only wanted it once. At best this would allow you to set an alarm for up to 6 or 7 days in advance. If you were concerned you forget to set an alarm the evening before you needed it you could always tell SIRI to remind you to set the alarm on a specific day in the future, then when the reminder goes off the evening before you just hold down the home key and say Wake me up at 6 AM and it's done.

How might I change the date of an alarm? Unless you are talking about a third-party app? Again, I know there are plenty out there, I just would like to use the default one if I could since I have had trouble in the past with alarm apps not always working. Plus there's Siri, but for now that seems to not be an option.

I never realized the native Clock app had this feature. If I were going to schedule something for the future, I'd just use the Reminder app or place an event on my calendar. This does sound like a nice feature, but I guess the clock app is still as useful as the alarm clock next to my bed, where I can't set an alarm for the future. If I need to set an alarm to wake up at a different time, I just need to remember to set it the night before.

Re: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
Well, could you use the repeat in clock and then get rid of it after the day you want has gone by? For example, say you want an alarm for Christmas morning. You could set it and choose repeat every Wednesday and then get rid of the alarm or at least the repeat indication after Christmas. I know it's kind of roundabout but ought to work. Also, is it possible to set the alarm using calendar or reminders? Actually, it does appear that tomorrow morning is not a problem; you should be able to do that either with clock itself or using siri. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Re: Setting alarms for future dates in iOS7
Okay, yes, tomorrow does work, sorry. I am thinking of future days. For instance, I will need to be up at 5:00 on December 28, and a reminder can't sound an alarm until I interrupt it. Plus, I'd rather it be an alarm, not a reminder, since not only is this not a reminder, but it will cause my Mac and other devices to sound as well since reminders are synced. The repeating alarm idea should work, but it irks me that Apple has removed such a basic feature as selecting the day of an alarm.

Hi, haven’t used it for a long time. There was an app called Alarmed that I think it would do what you want.
