Customize defaulttimes in Calendar and Reminders?

I posted this before in Mountain Lion but didn't get any response. I'm trying to get Calendar and Reminders default times changed somehow. Any method of doing that? I thought it was possible...

Differences between Calendar and Reminders

Hi, anybody can give help and let me know the differences between Calendar and Reminders? I found the Calendar got all functions of the Reminders. If I want to mark an appointment, which one I should choose? Calendar or Reminders?

I look at this way. The Reminders app is sort of a To-Do list for simple tasks. It's like writing yourself a note electronically ... Pick up milk on the way home, let the cat out, don't forget to stop at the post office.., things like that.
The calendar app is a more robust app that allows you to share your meetings and appointments with others - if you need to or want to do so, it has the ability to repeat recurring events ( with some limitations), it has the option for multiple alerts (2) and more customization than the reminders app. You can select from and use a number of different calendars in the calendars app as well.
if it were me, I would use the calendars app for appointments,

How do I backup iCloud calendar and reminders without a Mac?

I rely quite heavily on calendar and reminders to organise tasks and events.
I cannot see any way to make a backup, however. What happens if I accidentally delete a calendar or reminders list? What happens if something gets corrupted?
The instructions given here are all well and good for owners of a Mac, but I don't have one.

The way that EAS(Exchange Activesync) this is not possible on the device side. Your IT might be able to see if there is a way to do that on the server side.

How can I open two application together ? Ex. Calendar and reminders ?

How can I open two application together ? Ex. Calendar and reminders ?

When you are in one app, press the home button and open another app. You can't see more than one app at a time, but you can have as many open as memory will allow.
To quickly switch between the apps, double-click the home button. Active apps will be shown in the order you last used them. You can slide the active bar to see more of recent apps.

Calendar and reminders take forever to load with ios5

Since I upgraded my iPhone 4 to ios 5, my calendar and reminders take forever to load. Sometimes they crash rather than load. Any suggestions? This is extremely frustrating. By the time they load, I forget what I was going to write. Even once they open and I start entering data, they usually stall or crash during the time I am entering information (e.g. setting alerts), so it takes a very long time to enter each appointment or reminder. Help please!

I'm having the same issue. Ay fixes? Bought ATV today, music streams but videos don't and mirroring doesn't work either. Start mirror and severe lag then just drops. Been trying for couple hours. About ready to return it.

Dear Al
Thanks for your reply.
I have just found out what's wrong. I went to the 'more info' section of my Chitchat application and it took me to a link where it explained that Yahoo Chat has ditched chatting with the Java protocol and chatters can now only chat via the Yahoo Messenger protocol, which is Yahoo Instant Messenger with Voice. Unfortunately Yahoo doesn't provide a platform for Yahoo Voice for Macintosh computers. Though the original link I went to provides another link to a thing called 'Adium' from which a Mac can access Yahoo Chat's new protocol, although it's not fully developed yet.
Oh...and thanks so much for letting me know about the Java update release. I did not know that I have to upgrade my system first to recieve the latest update information.

Tina

IOS 7 Notifications, Calendar and Reminders ?

Trying to learn the ropes with the new ios 7 but can't seem to figure out the calendar and reminders within the notifications drop down.
At 23:00 when I was trying to work through this my calendar on notifications showed 1 line with 23:00 that was blank (pointless?) I have things on my calendar for the morning, is there a way to just display actual entries from my calendar rather than a blank 5 hours ?
Just as an extra here it's now past midnight and my clock says 00:03, my summary says 'The first thing on your calendar is xxx at 9:00am: in 25 minutes ? Where on earth is it getting 25 minutes from ?
As for reminders, I have them inside the reminders app but I'd like them to show on the swipe down notifications too... in settings I have the switch to green for reminders, not sure what else I can do re settings to get these to show up ?
One last thing in my notifications - All and Missed are blank, I assume missed is for calls which is fine but All ? Surely something should be showing in there ?
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem too. When I add an event on my mac it syncs with my iCloud account but the changes never reach my iPhone. If I make a change on my iPhone it could sync with my mac without any problem. I tried some solutions from this page (iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Reminders and Tasks) and it didn't work. And now, after i disabled iCloud sync on my iPhone and enabled it again, not only it doesn't sync but also I can't even add a new event or new reminder.

Why did my calendar and reminders usage climb to 10 GB after iOS7 install?

I can't find anyone who has posted this question, or an answer. I upgraded my iPhone and iPad to iOS7 this week. The phone seems fine, but my iPad is giving me fits. After the install, I got the STORAGE IS ALMOST FULL message. When I checked, my Calendar and Reminder Usage were at 6+ GB (same data on my phone is 600MB). I tried to turn off calendar and delete data - let it run all night, but the usage was increased to over 8GB.
Next I did a full factory reset. First attempt bombed out on the new iTunes update (a known problem from my google search). I did have another computer with the older iTunes that allowed me to reset the iPad. When I first checked usage, I was only using a total of 3GB on my 16 GB iPad. Now, after a couple of hours of use, the Calendar and Reminders usage is over 10GB!
Anyone have any ideas what is going on? My settings for calendars are the same as on my iPhone 5 (my iPad is the iPad3). I don' t want to spend the next 3 hours resetting it to find it does this again.
Help?

I am having the SAME EXACT problem on my iPhone. This is really taking a toll on what I am able to do. I have deleted apps i didn't want to. I barely have music on my Iphone since the update. My overall quality of life w/ this phone is taking a nose dive. Really need a solution to this. When i connect my iphone to my computer is says that my documents and data is taking up a bulk of the space; Under the usage section of the settings....my calendar is taking 7GB. Not sure how this is possible since i have nothing stored in my calendars. SMH.

Why does Apple separate calendar and reminders?

I may be alone here, but I can't stand the way Apple separates the calendar and reminders/tasks into two separate apps. I want to see my task list in my calendar. If I have a task that needs to be completed by a certain date, I need to see it in my calendar with my schedule/appointments. Otherwise, how can I effectively manage my time? That's why I am sticking with Google Calendar, and refuse to use Apple's calendar or reminders. Ok, I'm done now... I know I am probably the only one that gives a crap about this.

Had to wipe and restore 5S now calendars and reminders are not showing

No calendars or reminder lists are showing on the 5S and can't seem to be able to create one (+ is greyed out) even Fantastical 2 can't create event. iCloud synch is turned on but nothing.

There are no calendars and reminders mostly because that you had not backed up to iCloud or iTunes before you wiping your iPhone. If you had backed them up to iCloud or iTunes, then after wiping your iPhone, you can restore your iPhone with the backup file.
And you said that you can't even create event, I can see that the iOS version 7.0.2 on your iPhone is low, to ensure your iPhone works properly, you should update the operating system to the latest version.

I updated my iphone 4 yesterday but my calendar and reminders arent working?

My calendar and reminders have lost the edit buttons - ive restored the phone twice and ive reset the phone several times. Please help

My problem with iOS5 on 4S was that I had not turned on MobilMe on phone. See these instructions:
Thanks to a message on this board, I found the solution. It involves turning on MobileMe calendar synching in Settings.
Explained in detail on this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/
After you update your iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 4 (or later), follow the calendar syncing setup instructions below.
For more information about iOS software, visit the iOS Software Update webpage.
To set up calendar syncing on your iPhone or iPod touch:
If you have iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 4 (or later) and MobileMe Calendar syncing is turned on, MobileMe Calendar is set up automatically.
1.          On your iPhone or iPod touch Home screen, tap Settings.
2.          Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
3.          Tap your MobileMe account. If you don’t see your account, make sure you’ve set it up on your device.
4.          Make sure that Calendars is on.
5.          If prompted, choose “Merge with MobileMe” to make sure the calendars already on your device are not duplicated.
6.          Press the Home button, and then tap Calendar. Your MobileMe calendar is displayed in the Calendar application on your iPhone or iPod touch. It may take a few minutes to appear.

Calendar and Reminders app crash upon opening iPhone 4s, iOS 7

My wife's iPhone 4s is acting up.
Recently it won't open either Reminders or Calendar.
Calendar makes the screen white and Reminders black.
Both apps freeze the phone for a bit, making it necessary to pound the Home key a few times to get a response.
Anyone else have this problem?

Double tap Home button, delete all the apps in multitask-list by swiping UP the apps preview.
Then do a reset.
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

HT4901 Can I restore my calendars and reminders from iCal? If not, can I restore them from Time Machine?

Apparently I allowed iCloud to delete all of my calendar and reminder information from my Mac.
Can I restore it from iCloud, if not can I restore it from Time Machine?

It sounds as though it's not in iCloud anymore.
You may find that restoring from Time Machine results in the information simply disappearing again. You might try this: disable iCloud syncing, restore from Time Machine, re-enable syncing and choose the merge option when presented.

Can't see the "plus" sign on calendar and reminders after ios5 update

Since I have update my iphone 4 I can see the "+" sign on the calendar and also on the reminder app. Also when I go to settings and into mail / calendars the phone screen tends to freeze! I have restored the phone twice but that has not solved the problem.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Was thinking if I want to redownload the ios5 update and reload / restore. Thanks.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
