I am sincerely sorry to offend "Steve Jobs" and his lack of documentation.

A "c-ch-k-ka - zillion" alarm settings are available - in EVERY software configuration."

Let us go back to the basics:
What platform - your processor and memory and HD?
What is your system - operating software - what date and upgrades?
Why?? You need to time a three-minute-UK-egg...or are expecting your next supervisor's drop-in.

IF - "John in Kansas" has not responded (he logs in every 4 hours around the clock 24/7 365 a year....

Sincerly,
Gargoyle

You are BS (an Idjet) if one of the clones does not MOVE YOU .... well ... you are on Mudcat.

You've probably got cron with OSX. It could be used to play a sound or pop up a message at a given time.

I was looking for a similar computer alarm clock and downloaded Pester. Very easy to use. You can set it to go off in X minutes, or at a particular time.

DUH?

There are MANY...MANY better places ... that embrace Mac newbies ... than Mudcat.

Given the choice between MAC Id-Jets ...or UK pathetics ... well it is a toss up.

No, but I have relocated it. Went into Help in header-menu of Quick Time Player & searched for 'alarm'; which has brought up a pop-up on my desktop, a black with white lettering little app headed Alarm Clock Bell.caf, with one of those switch-on/off triangle-on-its-side thingies* that you get when you get up any youtube vid or whevs, which when switched to 'on', i.e the two vertical parallel lines instead of the ► , will play a volume-controllable bell sound.

What I am seeking is some way of setting this device; so far unsuccessfully.

It was online, found on Quick Time Player. Can't find it again instantly, but think I might just have found some alternatives by googling further. Will come back if they do not succeed. meanwhile, many thanks for your help, ~r~

Michael, is it on a computer or a hand held device?

Many thanks, Rags. But, tho this could make a good waker-up [my wife has a similar mini-device which plays a CD], it doesn't explain how to trigger the alarm-bell system which is part of Quick Time Player, which is what I am actually seeking ~~ not necessarily for morning waking, but for shorter-term necessities: the other night, when I posted this question, I had wanted at 1830 hrs to remind myself of a job I had to do at 2000; an accessible mini-reminder device would have been v useful, & I assumed my Mac must have some such. But, tho a search revealed this alarm on the QTP, I could find no means to set & trigger it.

Hence this post

My Mac "Quick Time Player" will produce an alarm-clock sounder. But nowhere in its preferences, or in general Applications, can I find any guidance as to how to set it.

Anyone, please?
