Double reminders!

Greetings. I've moved over to imail & ical completely since the update to Lion and 5.0.1 on my iphone & ipad2.
I've also moved my account to icloud.
So far so good. I've taken Outlook 2011 out of the system.
1.--Simple problem I but annoying. When an event comes for a reminder, I always get TWO on my computer screen!.... (perfect double).
Any ideas?
2. -- My ipad & iphone do NOT update automatically until I open ical in either of them. If an appointment is made on my mac in the office, it doesn't seem to upload to my iphone unless I physically open ical. Then in a moment it updates. Problem is, I might have already missed the appointment.
Settings issues here? ...... I've check everything.
Hope someone knows the answer to this!..
Thank you in advance.

Any responses to this query? I have the same problem. There are not two events in ical, I just get two reminders on MBP.

Duplicate reminder emails for the same event

Some of my users are experiencing duplicate reminder emails for the same event. These duplicates have the same bodies, different message-id headers and posted at exactly the same time.
Has anybody seen this sort of behavior and know a fix.

We had the same problem. At us I noticed the start/stop from the server went wrong. There were double processes running from the server. You should have 1 admin process, 1 notify process, 1 enpd process and (same as your cpu count) httpd processes.
When the other ones are more then 1, restart the system.
This receiving double e-mail reminder problem, you will only find at people who have AND event notifications on AND event & task reminders on! People who don't have BOTH activated, don't receive double reminders.
Also watchout that your test calendar system can't send e-mail notifications to your production users. But this you can see by reading the headers from the e-mail .. the system where it comes from is then different.
Hope this helps.

Calendar alert problem?

I'm having a strange new issue with Calendar:
When creating an event I usually send myself an email alert. I am no longer able to do this - or add an invitee. I receive the following message: "You must add your own card and email address in Address Book to be able to use mail alarms."
I have never had this message in the past and I have my "own card in Address Book".

Singingsister,
Were you able to "stop this madness?" My calendar is doing the exact same thing. I will set the reminder to NONE but it adds the first alert at 10 min before as well as a second alert for 10 min before. And if I forget to go in and manually change it I get crazy double reminders. Ah I just went in to change a repeating event and I had the alert at NONE yet it added 2 alerts.. I swear my phone is possessed. HELP ME PLEASE!!!

I've downloaded the 5.0 update and not all the new features are there. Just the news stand, reminders and videos. I double checked on the update and it says it's up to date. What should I do now?

I've downloaded the new 5.0 update and not all the new features are there. Just the newsstand, reminders and videos icons plus icloud. Everything else is the same as before. What should I do now? It says I have the latest update. ???

Hummmm, you might not be missing anything... From what I understand, really the only new visible add-on apps type programs are Newstand and Reminders. The Notification Center seems to be about how your info and alerts are pushed to your screen and you control that thru the phone settings>General>Notifications, the panel is accessed by swiping downward from the top of your screen. Weird I know, should be more obvious. Enjoy!
Don't forget, you can now use the volume button on the side of your phone to take photos. I really like this!

I can't edit my iCloud reminders in iCal

Hi all,
I've got my MacBook set up with Lion 10.7.2, and my iPad and iPhone are now running iOS 5. I have an iCloud account set up and am happily syncing reminders back and forth. My problem though is this: I can't seem to edit reminders in iCal on my MacBook. I can edit them on the devices, just not on the computer.
I can doubleclick on an iCloud reminder just fine and its bubble pops up, but there's no way I can see to actually edit the data there. Same if I select the reminder and then choose "Edit Reminder" from the Edit menu. It looks like this screenshot:
So does anyone know if I may have set something up wrong, or if I've stumbled across a bug of some sort? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

I tried to include a screenshot in my original post, but apparently it didn't work.
I can edit regular reminders just fine doing what you describe. However, when I try to do the same thing for a repeating reminder, the popup that comes up is not editable. That's the frustrating part.
I suspect the theory espoused earlier on the thread is correct, i.e., that iCal hasn't had real support for repeating reminders built into it yet. I can work around the problem so far by updating the reminders in question on either my iPhone or iPad, but that particular workaround is useful only if you have an iPhone or iPad.

Double events in iCal

I took the plunge and moved my contacts, calendars, reminders, etc. to iCloud. Now almost all of my events are doubled in iCal. ***?

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here, so I've asked the hosts to remove your email address, postal addresses and phone numbers from your post.
I'm not entirely sure what you are saying, but if those apps are crashing then have you tried toggling them 'off' and 'on' via Settings > iCloud ? And if that doesn't fix it then try closing them via the iPad's taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
You could also try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it's a different problem ... ?

I accidentally deleted the Reminders only on mac section in the reminders.app on mountain lion. How do I get it back?

I accidentally deleted the Reminders only on mac section in the reminders.app on mountain lion. How do I get it back?
I checked @ http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#reminders and it says under Multi Accounts: "Reminders works with CalDAV services like Google Calendar and Yahoo! Calendar. You can also create reminders that appear only on your Mac."

Quit Safai (double tap the home button, hold the app icon until it wiggles, tap , double tap the home button gain)
Settings > iCloud > Turn off Safari > Delete from phone then turn Safari back on

I have two birthday reminders for single contacts?

Firstly, I apologise if this has been asked elsewhere but it was proving difficult to search through all the other threads.
Ok so for some reason i've got two different birthday reminders for some contacts. I'm using Windows Live Mail and I synced all my contacts from there onto my ipod and the birthdays have carried over (I think, not sure if all of them but hey). I am sure that I did manually put the birthdays in for a couple of contacts a while before I synced all the contacts from WLM so that could be the reason for some, but there are definitely others which I couldn't have done - reason being I don't know the date of their birthday. One has a red dot next to it, the other is a picture of a present/gift.
Here's a screenshot:
Now if possible, I would prefer to have them all just as the one with the present next to it... so anyone know what's going on here?
Also, some of them show up with the nickname instead of the full name (I fixed them all before I synced). I double-checked in WLM and in the contacts folder in my document and this guy had an empty box for 'nickname' on both accounts.... yet it still shows up as his nickname
So anyone know how to fix this? I'm a bit of an OCD freak so it's driving me insane haha
Thanks

Not to worry. When you imported your calendars from Windows Live, it synced the birthdays you had there. Since you also entered the birthdays for some of the same people on their contact information as well, it shows up twice because it automatically pushed the birthday to the calendar. You have to choose between Windows Live calendars or your device's conatcts. Essentially speaking, it would the best decision to choose the one that has the most birthdays already entered. I'll give you both scenarios, however:
If you want to get rid of the Windows Live birthday:
-Tap the event that has the dot next to it
-Edit the event
-Delete the event (and all recurring events)
**I believe this will also delete the event across all other devices that have the Windows Live account synced
If you want to get rid of the contact's birthday that you entered manually:
-Go into your Contacts on your iOS device
-Go to the contact that has the birthday that is repeated (for example, the pictures that you included: "Calum Leask.")
-Edit the contact
-Remove the birthday from the contact
I hope I was of help

Using e-mail reminders with Gmail

My e-mail account are all Gmail, and apparently this causes my e-mail reminders to go into my gMail web mail but not get forwarded to my Mail.app because they were sent by "Me." Is there a workaround this in iCal, Mail or Gmail?

Try turning the account off and on and see if they disappear : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Ios5 Camera Button/ Reminders-location

Hey,
Does anyone know how to set the Camerautton to the lockscreen on iPad? I try to double click the home button but nothing.
As well as the location function at reminders, I just can set a time - but no location.
Ios5 update with no problems.
Thanks,
Denes

And do you know about the iPod touch ?
Thanks,

TS3274 How can I keep my items on 'Reminders' in the order that I enter them?

...they won't stay in the place that I put them.

You sure shouldn't have to do anything special. And I assume that you mean they don't stay in the order that you type them or arrange them afterward.
I can't think of any reason why they would be jumping out of order, and really can't think of what to do to correct it, so try something really simple and basic. Close the reminders app and reboot the iPad.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Siri not working with reminders

Suddenly Siri has stopped being able to set reminders for me. Started using her with reminders about 2 weeks ago and everything worked fine. Today she has suddenly developed a problem with using her on my iPhone. She still works perfectly on my ipad.
Have tried switching her on and off and even rebooting the iPhone and there still seems to be a problem
Any suggestions how to solve the problem?

So today I read on another post to close all the apps running in the background by double tapping the home button and deleting them. I did this and now Siri is working so it appears that one of the apps was intefering with Siri. Before that I tried disabling Siri and restarting and enabling again, changing the language to another English one, restarting the Network, every other tip I read except resetting all settings. This one closing all open apps working in the background was what did the trick.
I wish that there would be one central place where we could go and get the tips rather than to have to search through multiple postings. Something Apple could do to be proactive about helping us out. All in all I do love my iPhone 4s but that experience with Siri was unexpected. I should have read more before buying the iPhone 4s so at least I would have been prepared.

Reminders app in iOS7 (Notes section in Reminders)

Hi
Some of my Reminders have a lot information in the notes section of each reminder.
When I have gone into Reminders and then into the notes section of a reminder I can modify the text, add more in or delete words or lines. No Problem.
If hit 'return' to create a new line, a new line is inserted however no matter where the new line has been entered the screen automatically scrolls down to the bottom of the section, so the new line has now dissapeared up the screen and cant be seen. If I type, the text is put in but I cant see what I am doing as the text being entered is out of sight.
If I scroll back up the screen to the new line, the keyboard dissapears, I tap on the new line to get the keyboard back and the screen scrolls back down to the bottom.
Very frustraiting and it makes the Reminders app un-usable for me.
Thoughts?
Thanks

Hello Geozyg,
It sounds like you are experiencing some unexpected behaviour from the Reminders app. I recommend startign by closing all the running apps on the device:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the app again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

I had 18 reminders for today and now I have 6-- and no future reminders that I set. I didn't do anything and now I can't seem to get them back.

I use my reminders all the time. I had 18 for today and now there are only 6--ones I had added previously that are overdue. There are no future reminders. I did not touch anything! And nothing I seem to do will get them back...

Try this as well.
Quit the reminders app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Double reminders!
