Do Not Disturb Function not working on new iPod on iOS 8

DinoF — Wed, 24 Dec 2014 23:25:26 GMT

So have just set up my sons iPod for his Xmas present however I cannot get the Do Not Disturb function to work properly?

I have the 'Manual' option set to 'off' so that I can schedule a time for it to come on, however, when I then set the scheduled time, when that time comes around , the 'Manual' option ALSO turns itself on as well???

i just can't seem to set a scheduled time for it to come on, WITHOUT having the 'Manual' option also coming on (this is how it is set up on my iPad 2 - I have scheduled times for it to come on with the 'Manual' option turned off).

Is the iOS up to date? Try turning the iPod on & off again then try again the procedure you wish to,do as it may need a wake up

Does the little half moon symbol show on the notification bar?

Hi DinoF

Take a look through the Apple Help Pages.

Unfortunately, Do Not Disturb (Scheduled) is just not working for me.

It is a brand new current gen iPod Touch (literally opened up this morning!) on iOS 8.1.2.

Whenever I set a scheduled time for Do Not Disturb to activate, when that time comes around, it does indeed activate and also shows the half moon icon, HOWEVER, it ALSO activates the 'Manual' switch to 'On', at the same time. This means that when the scheduled time for Do Not Disturb to de-activate comes around, it does NOT de-activate because the 'Manual' switch was turned on as well????

My other son's current gen iPod Touch (still on iOS 7) does not do this so why does the iPod on iOS 8 not work correctly???

Morning @DinoF

I've just tested this on my iP6+.

DND activated at the time I set and De Activated again at the time set. I'm on iOS 8 on the iP6+

So I don't see it being an iOS 8 bug !

A conundrum.

Does it work ok on your iPhone 6 ?

.....yep, works fine on both my iPad 2 and iPhone 6 - both on iOS 8.1.2.

It's not a massive issue I guess but just weird that it chooses to also switch on the Manual setting as well?!!

Is the iPod linked to any other devices using the same ID?

The last resort I can suggest if none of the above advice has worked is do a full restore of the iPod via iTunes on a pc or Mac but make sure you back up first so as not to lose anything already on the device

The question I would ask myself would be is this an important feature I'd be using on my iPod to warrant time and effort.

I understand this should work and is frustrating.

Simple solution. .....take the thing back.

....weirdly, this issue seems to have now resolved itself!!

Initially, every time I set a scheduled Do Not Disturb, the Manual option would also turn itself on as well, once the 'turn on' time came around, rendering the scheduled time useless. I basically could not turn on the scheduled time without the manual time also turning on as well.

However, last night, I just thought, sod it, I'll just turn on the scheduled times (turn on at 8pm and turn off at 8am) and just leave it and see what happens. So checked after 8pm last night and the Do Not Disturb did indeed activate as soon as 8pm came around but so did the Manual switch as well (as stated in my OP).

I figured that the Do Not Disturb function (to turn off at 8am) would now not work as the Manual switch had also been activated but I just left it to see what would happen. Low and behold, when I then checked the iPod after 8am, the manual switch had turned itself off meaning the Do Not Disturb had indeed now correctly worked - it turned on at 8pm the night before and turned off at 8am the next morning.

It seems that for whatever reason (unless I have missed something completely obvious?!!), it is now working correctly?!!!

Ain't that just Sod's law. 😄

A good outcome however. 😉
