How do I manually sort reminders in iCal after upgrade to 10.7.2

I used to use the iCal "To do" list to have an ordered list of things I needed to do. I would choose to sort manually (by right clicking in the to do area) and then I could drag the items into the order I wanted to do them.
After upgrading to OS 10.7.2, "To do"s has become reminders and although the option to sort manually is still there. It doesn't work. The syncing with my iphone would be great, but without the ability to order a big list it's pretty much useless to me.
Anyone know how to get this back?

The newest Version 5.0.1 (1547.4) of iCal, for Mac OSX Lion (Version 10.7.2), has the Sort Manually option for Reminders. As stated in the preceding reply, however, this option is not available in the iCloud Calendar. Therein lies the problem, apparently.
Yesterday, I was on the phone with Apple Support for an nearly two hours, trying to get to the bottom of this issue. Not knowing the answer, the first person I talked to referred me to someone in the iApps department. The person in the iApps department could not resolve the problem either. So, I was referred to a senior technician in that department. After a lengthy diagnosis, this person confirmed that this is a system-wide problem in which the function is missing. The case was forwarded to the engineers, and I will be notified when they have a response.
Once, I get the response, I will update this discussion thread.

  • Manually sorting Reminders in iCal does not work

    On my Mac, within iCal, I can not sort Reminders manually.  I've deleted iCal Prefs and started over, but still cannot sort manually.  Any ideas? Thanks!

  • Unable to drag to manually sort reminders list in iCal

    Hi and thanks in advance for your help.
    I run Mac OS X 10.7.5.
    I find myself unable to manually sort reminders in iCal by dragging them up or down. If I click on the text of the reminder or the checkbox, I am able to drag it anywhere but I can't "release it". If I release my click, it goes back to it's original position and doesn't bump the other reminder down the list. I hope I am making sense.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks!

    Any help?
    Thanks!

  • How do you manually sort photos in Photo Stream?

    How do you manually sort photos in Photo Stream?

    This worked for me.
    I created a new photo stream for the pics I intended to share. For this project is was pictures of my parents new apartement. I needed them to be in a certain order, not in the order I took the pictures. I shared this photostream with my parents Apple ID.
    Created a photo album of the images I wanted to share in a specific order in iPhotos on my Mac.
    Put the pictures in the new desired order in the photo album.
    Selected all the pics in the album and did a batch change of the date. I put them in 1 minute incriments.
    Then selected all the images in that album and shared to the to the desired photo stream.
    Seems to have worked like a charm.

  • How do I copy the Mac OS Lion after upgrading?

    How do I copy the Mac OS Lion after upgrading. I upgraded to OS Lion and now I want to do clean install because my macbook became slower since i installed lion.
    Please, help! Thanks.

    You need to get on a Snow Leopard system, log into the App Store with your Apple ID, then download the Lion installer. The re-download is free. After the installer is downloaded it will start automatically. Now, quit the installer. You can now make a copy of the installer that you will find in the Applications folder.
    Now, you also may be able to get this to work: Open the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key while clicking on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. This is supposed to activate the Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. Clicking the Install button will then re-download the Lion installer.

  • How come calendars and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    How come calandras and contacts vanish from iPhone after upgrade to iTunes 6.1.2?

    Hi, Did you work out a fix for this?  All my calender dates (past & future) and the last 12 months of new contacts gone!!!!   And yes i too back up regularly. 
    Previously when the great 5 upgrade happened, i did loss everything, and although I was doing backups none of that info was relative in an English way. A whole life of important, unreplaceable information gone!  Never to be found.
    All of my products are apple, but it seems that little people dont matter to them, with no recourse for the damage to my personal or professional life.
    Extremly disappointed again!

  • HT4528 How do I restore all my photos? After upgrading my iPhone all photos were gone.

    How do I restore all my photos? After upgrading my iPhone, all my photos were gone.

    What photos?
    Photos taken with the iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore.  If you failed to do this, then they are likely gone.  You can try restoring from backup.
    Photos synced from your computer should still be on your computer an in you regular backup copy of your computer.

  • How do I manually sort the bookmarks toolbar?

    I cannot sort my bookmarks toolbar now. I normally manually sort but, presumably after an auto update, they are sorted alphabetically. I cannot drag and drop any more.
    I have changed the settings in Library view which apparently change the settings, but they have no effect on Firefox in use.

    P.S.
    My '''bookmarks toolbar''' does normally '''allow drag and drop''' of bookmarks to permanently reorder them, and it does allow that in the new profile. I have that open at present and have just checked it works. This current profile does not.

  • How do I go back to Snow Leopard after upgrading to Mountain Lion ?

    After upgrading from Snow Loepard to Mountain Lion, a key piece of Firewire equipment (a Tascam FW-1082) no longer works. The computer (and Logic Pro) doesn't show that it's even connected now !? The manufacture no longer produces or support's it, so a driver upgrade is out of the question. HELP !!! I want to ditch Mountain Lion and go back to Snow Leopard . . . I don't have a Time Machine image to go back to, I just want to know How best to re-install Snow Leopard from the upgrade disk I purchased, or even get my Macbook back to how it was the day I bought it and then once again upgrade to Snow Leopard. Many THANKS !!!

    You'll need to erase your disk. Be sure to create a backup.
    Use SuperDuper or CCC. If you purchased the retail SL upgrade you can use that, but you'll sill need your original install disks for your iLife apps. After that on the first boot of the new system, in Setup Assistant choose to migrate only your user from the clone.
    If the backward migration presents any problems, you can do it over and just drag your own data manually. Then you have to re-install any other software you purchased.

  • How or where do I retrieve my photos after upgrading to ios5

    How or where can I retrieve my photos from as they have disappeared after upgrading to ios5

    Your photos should be backed up on your computer's hard drive, and that hard drive should be backed up to another medium. If you have a camera, you don't keep all your photos in it, do you?

  • Mail not sending Event to iCal after upgrade

    I did the same as everyone else and upgraded as soon as I saw the message to upgrade mobileme ical. Now when I try to create an event in iCal using a date in an email after clicking on "Add To iCal" the popup just freezes. I've quited and rebooted Mail as well as iCal and no luck.
    Anyone else have this issue? Better yet, did anyone else find out how to fix it?
    With 4 boys I rely on that convenience big time!
    Maria

    The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts (all languages) with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Find and remove all duplicates also.
    Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
    Don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from Office 2008, including those related to an Equation Editor installation.
    By all means be sure any 3rd party apps AND plug-ins are Snow Leopard compatible.
    An additional measure is to clear the existing font caches:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/139383/2009/03/fontcacheclear.html
    That said, 10.6.2 release notes have this to say about fonts:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3874
    Fonts fixes provided for:
    • an issue with font spacing
    • an issue in which some Fonts are missing
    • font duplication issues
    • an issue with some PostScript Type 1 fonts not working properly
    Good luck in any case.

  • Why can't I find events by name in iCal after upgrade to Lion?

    I just upgraded to Lion on my MacBook Pro and have moved to iCloud. Now iCal (version 5.0.1) no longer allows me to find events by typing the event name in the search bar. This is frustrating. Has anyone else had this problem, or am I overlooking something simple? (I have checked iCal help and read how one is supposed to be able to find events, but nothing seems to work.)

    Do you see the folder if you are using the system navigator instead of the application navigator in JDeveloper?
    Check your project properties->content and sub nodes to make sure the TopLink directory is included in the project.

  • How to recover missing content of mail folders after upgrade to Maverick?

    When I upgraded my Mac computer to Maverick I lost the content of my mail folders.  The folders are there but there are no emails filed in them.

    Try to re-index:
    Repair & Reindex All Messages in Mail app
    You may encounter an alert from Mail app telling you that the mailbox must be repaired, but you can also do this manually. This is particularly helpful if the search functions of the Mail app have become unreliable.
    Quit out of Mail app and go to the Finder
    Hit Command+Shift+G and go to the following path:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Delete every file that begins with “Envelope Index” (optional but recommended: back up these files to the desktop just in case something goes awry)
    Close the MailData window, then relaunch Mail app to force reindexing
    Like rebuilding the mailbox, the reindexing process can also take a while, depending on how large the mailbox is and how much mail is stored on the computer. Be prepared for a lengthy re-indexation if you have tons (thousands+) of messages in Mail app. When finished, try the search or perform the task that you had issues with before and things should be working as usual again.-These two solutions will fix most common mailbox related issues encountered in OS X Mail, so try them out the next time Mail app is performing strangely. On the mobile side of things, iOS does not have similar forced rebuilding and reindexing options, and thus to resolve similar issues you often have to remove the account from iOS Mail settings and then re-add it to resolve like problems, but that’s a topic for another article.
