Problems?

If you are experiencing problems with iHome Radio, try these quick steps:

- Update app on the App Store. Visit the App Store to see if there is an update available for your app. Update if needed.

Problems continued...

Still having an issue?

- Multi-tasking audio - iHome Radio requires iOS 4.1 or later in order to support multi-tasking background audio support that allows you to listen to internet radio while surfing the web or using other apps.

- iPad - iHome Sleep is primarily designed for use on the iPhone and iPod touch. While you can download to an iPad running iOS4.2 or later, the interface is not optimized for iPad screen resolution.

- Poor Station Reception - We recommend using a Wi-Fi network and selecting stations with the greatest signal strength available when using iHome Radio. Station reception is affected by the strength of your iPhone's data connection, the Wi-Fi network connection, the bandwidth of the selected internet radio station, and issues with Tuneln's indexing. Visit ww.Tuneln.com for issues with available stations.

- Doesn’t support my local AM/FM broadcast radio station - iHome Radio currently supports TuneIn-listed internet radio stations in the MP3, AAC, and QT formats only. Visit www.TuneIn.com for station listings. In the US, many popular local radio stations owned by Clear Channel are only available via the free iHeartRadio app.

Troubleshooting

1. My app is crashing:

Crashes can happen for reasons in and out of our control.

Sometimes they just happen, and you can reload the app, and never see it again.

If your app is crashing, there are three methods for fixing the problem.

A) Update the Firmware of your iOS device.
B) Update app on the App Store.
C) Delete & re-download the app.

Sometimes there is an error with a file download, during installation, or when updating an app. When this happens the only way to fix it is by deleting and re-downloading the app. You will lose all the data programmed and stored in the app if deleted.

2. Overnight News doesn't work:

Overnight News only supports news feeds from your Facebook & Twitter friends/followers. In order for this feature to work you must have a valid Facebook or Twitter account and you must input your login information under 'Accounts' in app settings. We use Facebook Connect and Twitter client servers and do not store or share user passwords or account information.

3. My alarm did not sound at the specified time:

A. iOS4.0 Multi-tasking limitation for Background Alarms - App alarms may not sound if you do not leave iHome Sleep in the foreground. While we do support iOS 4.0 multi-tasking, background alarms is a beta feature and your alarm will not always sound depending on if your iOS device is used with a charger or used with an iPod speaker system. When iHome Sleep is used in the background the alarm is limited to a single minute of push notification alerts. To ensure the most reliable alarms we recommend using app-enhanced device alarms or keep iHome Sleep in the foreground.

Please note: In iOS5, locking the screen will also puse iHome Sleep to the background. If you slide 'Bedtime' before locking the screen your alarm sound will still function.

B. Silent Alarm or Volume - Make sure that the alarm is not set to Silent or that the volume of the iOS device is not set at 0

C. Improper Setup - iPhone is not docked properly or iHome App-enhanced system's AC adaptor is not plugged into a working outlet or into the power jack on back of unit.

D. non iHome App-enhanced Speaker Docks - If you dock your iPod or iPhone into a speaker dock overnight that is not an App-enhanced iHome sstem, the speaker dock must be powered ON all night to hear your alarms in the morning. Because of Apple requirements for devices that both charge and play audio, the iPod/iPhone/iPad's built-in speaker is deactivated and will cause your alarm not to sound if you do...

...not leave the power ON. This is another reason why we suggest customer's use iHome App-enhanced Speaker Systems to make sure you don't have to remember to leave the power on before going to bed.

4. iHome+apps iOS device support:

The iHome Sleep App only works with iPad, iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 4.1 or later. It will not work with iPhone 1G, iTouch 1G, nano, shuffle, or the iPod classic.
