Icloud and reminders

Ive been syncing iCal through my icloud and my iphone. Great. Ive a number of calendars to help me sort out different kinds of appointments.
One of these calendars, "Hold", appears to have slipped into the 'Reminders' list on left hand side of window in iCloud Calendars.
I dont know how this happened, or why. But I would like to restore "hold" as a Calendar.
Can anyone advise.
Many thanks

Oh, one other thing, when I have Reminders turned on in iCloud on my iPad in the Remider app is shows a gray bar with iCloud written on it black lettering and then the Tasks and Reminders Categories show up under it. If I turn off the Reminders in iCloud the bar disappears.
That's normal.
If you've been through all the troubleshooting steps in the linked article, including confirming that you can open a secure website with your iPad, force closing the Reminders app, turning Reminder off, then on in Settings>iCloud, and changing the Sync setting in Settings>Reminders and it still doesn't work, then it's probably time to make an appointment with the Genius bar at a nearby Apple store to have them take a look at it. I don't know what else to suggest.

How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

Dear wise & wondeful people:
How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

Try force-closing the Reminders app and reset your phone: double-tap the home button, locate Reminders, swipe up on the image above the app icon to close it, tap the home button again. Then hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release and wait for it to restart. Then check your reminders again.

Reminders not syncing properly with iCloud and iOS 8

I have an iMac running OS X 10.9.4 and an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2. I use Reminders on both my iMac and my iPhone and iCloud is turned on for both devices.
If I create a reminder on my iMac, I can see it immediately when I log in to iCloud.com and go to Reminders. It does not show up on my iPhone. If I edit this reminder on either the iMac or iCloud.com, the changes sync immediately between the iMac and iCloud.com but NOT my iPhone.
If I create a reminder on iCloud.com, it immediately shows up on my iMac. It does not show up on my iPhone. If I edit this reminder on either the iMac or iCloud.com, the changes sync immediately between the iMac and iCloud.com but NOT my iPhone.
If I create a reminder on my iPhone, it shows up on my iMac and iCloud.com. If I edit this reminder on either the iMac or iCloud.com, the changes sync immediately between the iMac and iCloud.com but NOT my iPhone.
In order for any edits/deletes to sync to/from the iPhone, I either need to create the event on the iPhone, at which point it syncs any other changes, or I need to create a new dummy event and then delete it, at which point it syncs any other changes.
Basically, it seems like the iPhone needs to initiate a "hey iCloud, here are changes from my end. Oh, there are changes from other devices? OK, I'll show those changes" protocol, otherwise it just doesn't receive any updates from iCloud.
I don't think it's an issue with my iCloud account, since Reminders on my iMac and Reminders on iCloud.com sync just fine.
On my iPhone, I have tried:
-Force quitting and re-opening the app
-Changing the Reminders sync options (Settings -> Reminders -> Sync)
-Turning Reminders off and back on under Settings -> iCloud -> Reminders
-Turning the iPhone off and back on
None of those methods have fixed this issue.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue or is this unique to my iPhone?

Hi mrbofus,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that you're experiencing issues with iCloud syncing your reminders on your iPhone. To troubleshoot this issue I'd like you to please follow the steps below.
General troubleshooting
Check the System Status page to make sure there aren't any issues affecting iCloud Bookmarks or Reading List.
Make sure you've fully enabled iCloud Calendar & Reminders for the client you are using. For more setup and troubleshooting information, see the additional steps for iOS, OS X, Windows, and iCloud.com in this article.
Check iCloud Help (help.apple.com/icloud) for possible information about the issue you are experiencing.
Check your settings and preferences, because something may not be set up correctly. For example, having incorrect date and time settings can cause issues that are easily resolved by entering the appropriate settings.
Troubleshooting Reminders on iOS devices
If you're having trouble with Reminders on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch) and iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
Make sure that you're using iOS 5 or later. If you meet these requirements but your issue continues, try installing the latest version of iOS supported by your device.
Make sure that your iCloud account is configured correctly in Settings. For instructions on setting up iOS for iCloud, see iCloud Setup. Reminders is a separate data type on iOS. It must be enabled via the Reminders setting in Settings > iCloud.
Make sure your iOS device is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud Reminders will not update in Calendar. Learn about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
Open a secure website to test if ports 80 and 443 are accessible. Reminders requires port 443 access to iCloud to push and fetch updates to and from the iCloud Calendar and Reminders servers.
If recent changes don't appear in Reminders, try forcing a refresh. In iOS 7:
Open the Calendar app.
Tap the Calendars tab to load the Calendars list.
Pull down on the list to refresh both calendar events and reminders.
If recent changes simply don't appear in Reminders, try forcing a refresh. In iOS 6 and 5:
Open the Calendar app.
Tap Calendars in the top-left corner to load the Calendars list.
Tap the Refresh button in the lower-left of the Calendars list.
Quit and restart the Reminders app on your iOS device.
In iOS 7, press the Home button.
Press the Home button twice to see preview screens of the apps you have open.
Find the Reminders preview screen and swipe it up and out of preview to quit the application.
Quit and restart the Reminders app on your iOS device.
In iOS 6 and iOS 5, press the Home button.
Press the Home button twice to open the multitasking menu.
Press and hold the Reminders icon until it jiggles.
Tap the red circle in the upper-left corner to quit the app.
Press the Home button to get back to your Home screen. Wait a minute before reopening the Calendar app.
Change the Sync settings for your calendars:
In iOS 7 and iOS 6, tap Settings > Reminders.
In iOS 5, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then scroll down to the bottom to the Reminders section.
Tap Sync. If Sync is set to All Reminders, set it to a specific duration, such as Reminders 1 Month Back. If it's already set to a specific duration, set it to All Reminders.
Wait several minutes and refresh again, as described previously. Then open the Reminders app again.
Turn iCloud Reminders off and back on:
Tap Settings > iCloud.
Turn off Reminders. Choose to delete data only if your reminders exist at icloud.com/#reminders and on one or more of your devices. Otherwise, choose Keep Data.
Wait a few minutes before turning Reminders back on.
Restart your iOS device: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears, then drag the slider. After the device turns off, turn it back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.

HT202297 iCloud and outlook: tasks vs reminders or both?

Okay, based on the information I've read about the labels 'tasks' and 'reminders' in iCloud and outlook.... Iif you are using both systems should I dedicate to one or the other? I use PC outlook an iPad and iPhone and also have google and yahoo accounts. It's getting a little crazy!!

Hi lan,
Did you find a solution for this?

ICal and reminders on Macbook don't sync with iCloud

Just now when iCal crashed on my MacBook Pro I realise that it hasn't been syncing with iCloud (lost al lot of appointments).
Any change made on my iPad, iPhone and on icloud.com syncs perfectly; even back to my macbook!
The rest on my laptop (notes, iWork apps, mail, contacts) all seem to work and sync perfectly with iCloud.
However iCal and Reminders made on my laptop just don't sync to iCloud!
The other way around works nicely (reminders and calendar appointments from iPad, iPhone and iCloud.com appear promptly on the macbook).
I have tried everything i could find (restarting computer, resetting icloud prefferences, log out and in from icloud, starting new calendar, checking icloud account). Nothing works...
Any change made from my macbook just doesnt make it to other devices. From other devices back to my mac do work.
On my macbook all calendars I have are in iCloud.
iCloud is active (with same login as for other devices)
Would be great if someone could help me with this one!
Thanks!

I have something similar and i will try to explain with my rusty english.
I have an ID on iCloud but i can't sync the iCal events.
On my mac there is everythign (appointment, notes birthdays and so on). On my iCloud there is nothing.
I suppose was something related with the old ID (one just for ichat, not one of the ID that you pay to receive extra services or a @me.com account).
Now, as soon as the icloud features was installed on my Macbook Air I signed a new ID and initially everything worked fine. Emails on Mail and contacts were syncronized properly but with the new ID. i did not check iCal account.
So i tried also with the old one (the ichat ID) and all was sync. So i realized that maybe Apple recognized same account or name and merge all the ID in just one.
I was wrong.
The 2 ID's are not linked.
further checks add also this new weird stuff. in any case i cant sync ical accounts. i tried to switch from one to another ID. no way. i checked preferences in iCal on the mac. everything is fine. no way.
do uu have any idea?

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.

Looking for a good document on family syncing with iCloud and multiple iOS devices

We have recently migrated off of Android devices for the whole family except for a Kindle Fire HD for my daughter. We all have an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch type device that we want to sync our family calendars/reminders/notes to. Is there a good document on how to setup this family environment so that our notes/reminders/appointments are all in sync on each other's device. That way we all know what each other is doing. Do we each have to have a separate Apple ID or do we all share the same Apple ID to make this syncing work. I think I get how to make this work between my PC, 2 - iPhones (work and personal) and iCloud Web. Now how do I layer on my other family members into my calendar digital Cloud? HELP ME PLEASE. I HAVE A DIGITAL MESS.
Right now I have a personal Apple ID for my personal devices, new iPhone 6 Plus coming. I have a separate Apple ID for my Work iPhone 4s. My wife and kids have iPhone 5s. Wife and son have an iPad.
Please tell me I don't have to go see Rush Limbaugh to figure out how to make all this work.
Thanks,
Bob

You could each have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs, and also share a "family" account for syncing a family calendar, notes and reminders. That will allow you to maintain still keep your contacts, and other data and photo streams separated while having access to the shared the family data in the secondary account. It also gives everyone their own free 5GB of storage for their backups, etc. The shared family calendar, notes and reminders will appear alongside your other calendars, notes and reminders in the corresponding apps on your devices. You'll just need to be sure to select the correct account within these apps when entering data to ensure it is added to either your personal or the shared family account.
To do this, create your primary accounts in the usual way, by going to Settings>iCloud and signing in with separate IDs and turn on the data sets you want to sync with iCloud. Then create a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with a different ID and have everyone add this account to their devices as a shared family account. You can sync mail, contacts, calendars, notes and reminders with the secondary account, although you may want to just turn on calendars, notes and reminders.
You can continue to share the same iTunes store ID on all devices if you wish. It does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud. Also, each person should use their own ID (such as the primary iCloud ID) for iMessage and FaceTime, otherwise you'll end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.
If you don't want to do all of this, and are primarily concerned about sharing your calendars, you can do that as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a8694.
Another option to consider is to look into the new Family Sharing feature of iOS 8 if all of your devices will support iOS 8: https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/. The details on this haven't been released yet but should start to appear after it is released tomorrow.

ICloud and Multiple Apple ID Mess

Hi,
I seem to have made a mess of my iCloud and AppleID accounts. Here's the timeline:
Years ago when I got my first iphone (3G), and being a canadian customer,
1) I signed up for a US appleID with primary emailA so I can access the US iTunes store
2) I signed up for a Canadian appleID with a secondary emailB
I start using my US appleID as my primary account purchasing apps and eventually setting up an iCloud account when it came with my US AppleID
Recently, I decided to switch to my canadian appleID as my primary account. At that point, I didn't know you could change the country of the appleid account so what I did was this:
1) change my US AppleID email to a third emailC
2) change my Canadian AppleID email to my primary emailA
Start using my Canadian AppleID with the new primary emailA with my Apple devices.
I've since run into a few issues:
1) my icloud.com email was automatically reserved for my US appleID account. Is there anyway I can release that so i can register it with my Canadian AppleID?
2) Siri and find my friends, and other icloud related services are all screwy since I updated to iOS 6. Siri can't launch any of my apps (she can't find apps), thinks my home address is somewhere in the US (when I say navigate home), and I constantly have to log back into find my friends and game center when I launch the apps.
I think a bunch of iCloud services are still tied to my US appleID and because I am logged into my canadian appleiD account in itunes/appstore, things go screwy.
Can anyone advise on what I can do to fix all the broken iCloud services?
is there a way to get them tied to my Canadian AppleID.
Can I merge my US appleID account with my Canadian appleID?
Should I switch the emails back and then change the country of my US appleID?
Thanks!

Hmm... sounds like I should undo the email switchroo and revert back to my american appleID as my primary appleID account and then change the country for that account through official itunes/appleID processes.
then I'll have two canadian apple IDs. And unfortunately, I just put money into my original canadian apple ID that i'll no longer be using.. =(
This raises a few related questions:
1) Is there a way to move money between accounts? I assume i could ways just "gift" apps from one account to be owned by the other. Anything cleaner?
2) How tied is Siri to my iCloud account? I have a lot of siri issues since upgrading to 6.1. it can't find apps when I try to launch them, even default apps like clock or calendar. If siri is not tied to icloud at all, then maybe it's not as critical to have access to my icloud account. I don't use it for anything except the todo/reminders app.
Thanks,

Lost contacts, notes and reminders

HI! Today I lost contacts, notes and reminders on my iPhone. I checked on my iCloud account and everything is there, then I checked iCloud settings on my iPhone and all options are off except for Find My iPhone. I did not turn on everything because I am worried that I could lose information on iCloud. How can I restore my contacts, notes and reminders to my iPhone from my iCloud account?

Hello jguevara.diaz ,
I see why you did not want to turn those on. Fortunately, you will not lose your information on iCloud by turning ON contacts, notes and reminders.
Have a good one!

Can't turn off iCloud and F'd up my Calendar

I have an iPhone with my Work calendar Synced with my work computer (outlook Calendar). Also, I have iMac 27" i5 with my Home calendar (iCal).   This has worked fine and separetly for the last 3years. My home calenders allow me to organise my life with payments and is very important. My work calendar, well that speaks for it's self.
I install iOS5 on iPhone and Lion on the iMac which unbekownence to me have iCloud syncing on and doing stuff that has totally corupted my iMac Home Calendar.
My home calendar has my work calander mixed in with my home calendar and reminders popup every few minutes that I have already dissmissed. They won't stop popping up. The same one over and over and they go back a month or more.
Additionally, when I try to add an event it sometimes puts it in very day instead of a monthly re-ocurring event and then it won't delete the event when I try to fix it.
I've tried to turn off iCloud, and it does all the right things and appears to turn off but then when I go back in it is on again.
The Work Calendar (Windows 7 Office 2010) doesn't show any symptoms and has kept working as it should on my work computer as on the iPhone. Neither appear to be effected
I've tried all the delete files and reinsralls but iCal seems to just get more confused. It renames calendars and is totally out of control to the point of no return.
I can't find any where which shows how to delete iCal and do a fresh install of iCal and not have iCloud sync.   I have searched Google for months and months with no joy.
What I need is to stop iCloud and **** it off permently as it appears to be a problem for how I use my apps. I do not want to use iCloud for calander or anything just yet.   I need to get my original .ics backup in iCal that I have and working on it's own and with out the cloud or syncing.
Help anyone ...
P.S.   I have only one profile, Admin.
          I've tried another profile and it replicates and operated worse than the Admin account with iCal.
          Also I have time machine back to August 2011. I've tried all the Google fixes and none have worked

Hmmm!
Sorry for taking so long to get back. But the thing was none of the instruction where able to get the iCloud turned off. If anything it is for someone who moves between the Local and the iCloud than turnng off iCloud.
I want to turn off iCloud syncing in my System Preference and iCal. iCal is syncing with iCloud and I do not want that. My iPhone is syncing with iCloud and I don't want that either. I never enabled these options and had to find out where they were before I could even start trying to turning them off.
My iPads do not I’m unsure why
Is it possible to un-sync and turn off all iCloud activities on my iMac with Lion 10.7.3?
I think I made up a word (Un-Sync) to re-turn back to the original state before the first sync

My iphone 5 has been deleting my calendar. This is the third time- now it deletes my contacts, notes and reminders as well. Why is it doing this, and how can I restore everything?

My iPhone 5s has been deleting my calendar. First time, just the calendar, then next time the calendar and contacts, then yesterday, calendar, contacts, notes and reminders. The phone is only 6 months old or so and is on iOS 7.1.2 (although I need to update it- but have to do some storage management first...)
I have looked at my calendar in my icloud account and it is a week or so out of date, even though it supposedly backed up from my phone on Friday. I am becoming very frustrated by this. Am I doing something wrong? Advice would be much appreciated. In the past I have deleted my icloud account from my phone and then re-signed in, as well as sharing my calendar with myself to restore it, and it works eventually.

Sorry I misstyped- it is an iphone 4s.

OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 download, where are my notes and reminders?

I downloaded Mavericks 10.9.1 and my Notes, that used to be apart of mail, and Reminders, that used to be a part of iCalendar ,have disappeared into the depths of cyberspace. Anybody tell me where how I might get them back or where they might be in the system?
Notes also disappeared from my iPhone 4S at the same time but have since magically reappeared.

I'd doublecheck the settings on the phone and the mac.
Make sure you have the same iCloud account (Apple ID) for both.
Then try logging out of and then back into iCloud on the mac.

Need info on whether iCloud and Siri can be disabled on the phone.

Hello all, supposed to receive my phone this week and have read the online manual from cover to cover at least 3 times so I know what questions to ask when I take it into the store to have it activated. I am still confused about iCloud and Siri. I know what Siri is but am not sure about the Cloud.
It seems (the Cloud that is) like something that I don't want to mess with at this stage in my learning of the phone. The manual never really says anything about shutting it off. Is there a way to disable it so it is not running all the time or at all preferably? I won't have a ton of contacts and reminders and such that will use up memory so it really doesn't seem something that I need. If anyone knows how to keep it disabled, I'd appreciate knowing how.
Basically, it is the same with Siri, it is a lot more likely that I will use that service evenutally but I need to learn other things about the phone first (this is my first smartphone by the way). Is there a way to disable this or is it something that is always availalble if you want to use it? Seems like these two apps would use battery life and the Cloud would use data as well as it is checking for alerts to all your other apps. I have no other apple products that I need to sync too.
Any information you can offer would be a great help to me and thanks in advance,\
Mike

Thanks for a great answer. As for iCloud, if I would choose to leave it on, does it access the web all the time the phone is on or just when I change something on the phone? I am worried about using too much data and going over the 2GB in my plan and having to pay for more. I don't plan on using the web much unless I have wifi available and am just concerned that the iCloud app will constanting be connecting to something online ( a server I guess) and that will be used against my data?? You can tell that I never had a smart phone before and am not sure how much time online 2GB is. Everyone says it is plenty of data unless you are streaming a lot of stuff (don't plan on that unless with wifi). If you can understand what I am trying to ask and have anymore advice, I'd appreciate another reply. Thanks again for your first reply and have an awesome day.

In settings there is an option to turn iCloud backup on or off...if you turn it on it will automatically back up certain things only when the iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi. So as far as iCloud (backup) goes, you don't have to worry about it using your data plan. If I'm not mistaken, the only time you would have to worry about that is if you choose to stream from your iCloud account while on the 3G network versus waiting until you are on wifi.
