You Have About An Hr.
To Figure This Out

(CBS News/CNN)- When most people turn back their clocks Saturday night or Sunday morning, iPhone users may have to have a backup alarm.

According to CNN, there's a glitch in the alarm clock app that will keep iPhone alarm clocks from recognizing this week's time change in most U.S. states. CNN's Tech reporter spoke with an Apple spokesperson on Friday. Natalie Harrison told CNN that users who depend on the iPhone to wake them should "set nonrepeating alarms for now and reset after November 7 to resolve the issue." The bug only applies to "repeating" alarm settings, such as those that are set to go off at the same time every day. Apple posted information on its support page about the problem.

Daylight Savings time officially ends at 0200 Sunday morning, returning most of the country to Standard time.

I don't mind the changing the clocks thing, mostly (although it does seem to be a waste of time) Except For the cd player in the Ford. Being new, (the cd player, not the Ford) it is loaded with features. And two buttons have multiple functions, depending on which order they are pressed in, how long they are held, what direction they are pushed in, and possibly the phase of the moon. How to set the time is not an intuitive procedure. A more accurate description would be "pain in the ass". And my male ego won't let me just leave the damn thing alone and know that it's an hour fast.

Noticed when resetting the time that we hadn't changed the date in the little window of our "wristwatch" since Sept. & its 30 days.
