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.

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. > >> On 12/17/2013 10:37 PM, Alex Hall wrote: >> Hi all, >> In iOS7, I can't seem to set an alarm for even one day in the future. What is the point of using the iPhone as an alarm clock if I can't tell it to wake me up tomorrow morning, or on a date in the future I know I'll need to be up early? I did this all the time in iOS6, but now I can't seem to. I really hope I'm just missing something basic, but I have a bad feeling I'm not. Of course there are third-party apps, but I miss being able to just tell Siri to "wake me up tomorrow at 5" for instance. >> >> >> Have a great day, >> Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini) >> mehg...@gmail.com > > -- > Christopher (CJ) > chaltain at Gmail > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. > > Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing viphone@googlegroups.com. > > Search and view the VIPhone archives by visiting http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/. > > Reach the VIPhone owner and moderators by emailing viphone+ow...@googlegroups.com. > > Unsubscribe and leave VIPhone by emailing viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > > More VIPhone group options can be found by visiting http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. > --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. > > Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing viphone@googlegroups.com. > > Search and view the VIPhone archives by visiting http://www.mail-archive.com/viphone@googlegroups.com/. > > Reach the VIPhone owner and moderators by emailing viphone+ow...@googlegroups.com. > > Unsubscribe and leave VIPhone by emailing viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > > More VIPhone group options can be found by visiting http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to viphone+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out.
