As we reported earlier, a bug in Apple's official Clock app on the iPhone caused some alarms to stop working in the New Year, and that the company's prediction that the alarms would start working again on Jan. 3 was wrong.

Over the weekend Apple reps told some media outlets the company was aware of the problem, and that it should fix itself by today, which was clearly not the case. Apple hasn't responded to our requests for comment yet today, but there appears to be an easy fix to the issue of alarms that don't go off: just delete the alarms and create new ones.

Reports all over the Web say this fixes the problem, and our own testing confirms it—at least on our phones.

The problem first arose when the clocks switched over to 2011 in New Zealand, giving other parts of the world advance warning as users began to flood Twitter with their frustrations; it affected owners if iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPads. The issue was said to neutralize only non-repeating alarms—recurring alarms should be unaffected.
