Mavericks, Reminders and icloud

Since loading Mavericks, reminders on my iMac won't sync with icloud although my iphone does . Contacts sync fine though .....any ideas , guys ?

Well, some good news and some bad. The good news is I think I stumbled onto the solution. The bad news is applecare said they could not help me because I would not give them a password for my icloud account...giving them full access to my account for troubleshooting. (I can't believe they even asked really) What seems to have fixed reminders for me was the firewall setting. I had been setting the firewall in stealth, but when I changed from stealth to just firewall on but not in stealth, the reminders window started opening...and syncing. I still can't find any info about this on apple's site, so, see if this fixes the problem for you and let us know. If that is the issue, it would be nice if apple would let us in on the prereq's for reminders and icloud sync. Good luck!

Reminders on iCloud, and iCal on Mac

I'm currently trying to get to grips with iCloud across all my devices, home Macbook (running Mountain Lion) work MacPro (running Lion) and iPhone (iOS6).
My problem is with the duplication of events in iCal. I use Reminders as my to do list and I use the iCloud version as the interface is a lot more usable than the tiny Reminders on iCal. So I create a new Reminder on iCloud, it appears in iCal's Reminders pane, and I'll use this to populate my working week in iCal. Reminders on iCloud pushes to iCal Reminders on the MacPro then I can plan my working weekly schedule, and all this gets pushed to my phone. My only problem is when I drag Reminders from iCal's pane on to the calendar the events keep duplicating. Anyone any idea what I'm doing wrong. I use to work like this in Snow Leopard with no problems

ical on your phone does not go away. What ever events you put in your icloud.com account will sycn with your iphone and vise versa.it woks best when you add other Apple products that way all your calanderevents will stay in sync reguardless the devise you enter them on. hope this answered your question.

How to sync reminders in icloud station with ipad and iphone?

HI Alish1979!
Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your iCloud Reminders, and has different sections for troubleshooting this issue on your iPhone, iPad, and Windows computer:

My contacts, notes, reminders and all iCloude features gone and I should restart my iPod!!!

few often al iCloud feature such as contacts , notes, reminders and ... disappear and I should restart my iPod to solve this problem!
whats wrong with it?

I would try to delete your account from your device and then add it back again (Settings > iCloud > Delete Account). If this doesn't fix the problem, I would recommend to make a backup and to store all your important filles, and then to proceed with a reset of your device.

Reminders and Calendar not synced with iCloud

At some point, Reminders and Calendar no longer sync with iCloud. They were working fine when I first installed Mountain Lion (a fresh install on a new drive, not an upgrade with preferences from a previous install), but sometime recently they stoppped syncing. This may or may not have occurred when I updated to 10.8.2; I don't regularly use them, but when I do, I need the info synced.
Other programs work fine: Contacts, Notes, and Safari all sync with iCloud. I can create/update items on my iPhone, and it's reflected on my Mac, and vice-versa.
This is frustrating, especially because it was working well at one point. I've tried unchecking/re-checking the "Calendars & Reminders" option in the iCloud system preferences, as well as signing out and back in again. Each time, I've always chosen to delete the data on my Mac.
I'm out of ideas - short of a full reinstall, which isn't feasible. Has anyone else experienced this and solved it?

I have developed the same problem. Calendar and Reminders no longer sync, nor can I enter any new items via iCloud.com. My iPhone and BusyCal on my MAC no longer sync. I was tempted to try turning sync off on my MAC but, like you, got the warning that it was deleting all data on my MAC. So I backed off.
Using my MAC, I signed onto my wife's iCloud account and experienced no problem; all works as it should.
I keep sending the error messages to Apple. So far in the last two days they have not responded.

Enabled Reminders for iCloud and lost most of my reminders

Hello all:
My primary Apple device is my iPhone 5. I use Reminders to keep To-Do checklists which I use almost daily. To be able to access these from my Desktop/Laptop, I decided to enable iCloud this morning and turn on Reminders thinking they would sync so I could interact with them on those machines. After enabling it, I went into my Reminders and noticed that most of them were gone. It looks like it had reverted to a much older state and subsequently removed a large portion of my Reminders. After noticing this, I disabled/re-enabled to see if that had any affect, but the result was the same.
How can I retrieve my old Reminders list or do I have to disable the service and restore from a backup and cut my losses?

Thank you for your support.
I apologize. I was a bit short with everyone today. I won't make excuses.

Is there an alternative method to sync Safari bookmarks without using iCloud? I am running the latest versions of Mavericks, iOS and iTunes.

Is there a method to sync Safari bookmarks from my Mac to my iPhone WITHOUT using iCloud?

Hi Mary ..
Afraid not but if you decide to use iCloud and you're iPhone is running iOS 8, (according to your profile), hold off until you can upgrade your Mac to Yosemite.

My macbook pro is running 10.10.1 and has stopped syncing reminders and calendar events to iCloud.

My macbook pro is running 10.10.1 and has stopped syncing reminders and calendar events to iCloud. Changes made to iCloud directly DO update to my machine, so the communication issue is one way only. When I make a change to the calendar or reminders on my machine, it will often bog down and run slowly. I have done several trouble shooting steps without result. these include:
Restarting my computer.
Running Disk Utility diagnostics for both permissions and disk verification.
Checking that my internet and network is working.
Checking that I am properly logged in to iCloud with my ID on my machine and that I have set everything to sync.
Checking my iCloud settings to stop syncing Reminders and Calendars and then setting them back to sync again.
Any suggestions?

1. Calendars in the On My Mac or On My iPhone/iPad/iPod category, and calendars that sync with other network services such as Google, will not sync with iCloud.
2. Back up all data, then take all the applicable steps in these support articles:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
iCloud: Advanced Calendar and iCal troubleshooting
Nearly all sync issues should be resolved that way. Please make sure you've taken all the steps and tested adequately before continuing.
3. If there are any calendars on your Mac that you don't synchronize with iCloud, export them by selecting them in the calendar list and then selecting
          File ▹ Export ▹ Export…
from the menu bar. Quit Calendar.
4. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Calendars
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move that folder to the Desktop.
5. Launch Calendar. Your calendars will initially be gone, but they should resynchronize with iCloud. If they don't, uncheck the boxes marked Calendars and Reminders in the iCloud preference pane, then re-check them.
6. Import the calendars you exported in Step 3, if any, by double-clicking the files.
7. If the issue is resolved, close the Finder window you opened in Step 4. Delete the exported files and the Calendars folder on the Desktop.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

In the calendar side bar, the groups titled "On my Mac" and "iCloud" will not merge?

I recently updated my Macbook to Mavericks and my phone is already updated to IOS7.
In iCal, there is a side bar, and there are 3 groups...
"On my Mac"
"iCloud"
"US Holidays"
Since all my main events are in the group "On my Mac" they do not sync with my phone because they are not in icloud.
I need to find a way to merge the groups "On my Mac" and "iCloud" in order for my events to sync with my phone.
Thanks

Errors when saving contacts locally and syncing them between MacBook and iCloud

Last night I detected that the synchronisation of contacts between my MacBookPro (Yosemite, 13" Retina, late 2013) and iCloud is no longer working. Sync between iCloud and iOS devices (with iOS 8.1) works fine.
The problem effects the exchange of information from MBP to iCloud as well as the other way around. However, the issues are slightly different.
No matter what changes (changing existing contacts, creating new ones or creating/changing groups) I do directly in iCloud (which I usually don't do – I was just testing), none of them get synced to my MBP (though they do sync to all iOS devices).
If I do work on my MBP the situation is a bit different:
If I change any existing contact, those changes are not synced.
If I create a new contact in the "all contacts" group, it syncs to iCloud. If I make changes to that newly created contact, they are again not synced.
If I create a new contact in any other group, the contact does not sync.
If I create a new group, that group is displayed in iCloud as "new group", i.e. the name I gave it is lost on the way... If I add contacts to this group (again on the MPB), they do not sync.
If I create a new group using the option "create group from selected contacts" those contacts are synced to iCloud but the name of the group is again only "new group". Contacts added later to that group also don't sync.
Worst of all, everything that does not sync to iCloud, is lost once I close the Contacts app, meaning this information is not even stored on my MPB. OS X does not display any error messages. However, looking into the console, I found this message repeatedly whenever I was making changes to contacts etc (not only upon closing the app):

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I don't know if this is applicable for you, but this solved it for me.
My initial situation was the following, Ipad, Iphone and iMac where syncing well. But not my Macbook Pro. So I did this Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support and this Sync Services: Advanced troubleshooting for contact and calendar syncing - Apple Support . As result all my contacts, even the view I had where gone on my macbook. I tried rebooting and restartting but nothing helped.
Then I did the following. I backuped all the cards from contacts on my imac (by moving them into a folder) and backuped them by export as archive.
Afterwards I disconnected from icloud on my imac, then reconected and deleted all contacts from the addressbook. I double checked if they where gone on icloud.com too. Afterwards I just moved them back from the folder to the address book. again double checked on icloud.com and the my macbook started syncing properly.
Which of the things I finally solved it, I don't know for sure. But I assume it was the one with deleting and restoring everything on another machine.

I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing.

I sent in my iPhone 6 for repair. I used restore on the loaner phone I was given, and the contacts, texts, reminders, and Safari pages all showed up. My phone is back, and when I used the restore function again, those items are missing. I do not use iCloud because I have no wifi at home, limited data available for regularly backing up, and I have a 64GB phone and don't wish to pay to upgrade from the 5GB iCloud storage. Am I doing something wrong? It worked so seamlessly on my loaner phone that I am completely stumped as to why it will not restore those items to my original phone again.

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service. Your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have chosen to sync.
If you have failed to do this, then they are likely gone.

Apple's stance on ML problems - Reminders and Notes.

Hello, all.
I must confess I am puzzled with Apple's attitude towards its customer base and how neglectful it has become as a company.
I just recently upgraded to Mountain Lion for the sole reason I wished to use Reminders and Notes. These are applications I use for BUSINESS and I use them every single day to manage my professional life.
After I upgraded to Mountain Lion I was shocked to learn that Reminders and Notes can only by synchronized via iCloud. Notes was synchronized via cable through iTunes before. Why change it ? And why offer Reminders with a single sync option ? Many users are in the same situation I am in. As a healthcare provider I am required by law to ensure all my data is maintained private and confidential. Why would Apple choose to offer only one single sync option ?
I have been strugling for the last two weeks trying to find a way to address Apple's design flaw (perhaps not a flaw but an intentional design decision). I can't seem to find a way to sycn these two apps without the use of iCloud and can't also find third party applications that would be good replacements for them.
Aside from switching to a Windows-based phone (and perhaps even to a Windows-based computing platform) I don't know what to do. It has finally sunked in the idea I have heard before from so many long-time Mac users like me. Growth would prove challenging to Apple and perhaps condemn the company to becoming more like other mediocre companies that produce mediocre products. Apple no longer listens to customers like me who have been loyal customers for 30 or so years.
I can't believe that with all the complaints out there Apple chooses to remain silent and do nothing to address the issue. This is indeed very sad. It is sad to see a company who made such great products in the past begin to decline.
To those who have any knowledge of it, please I need help.
IS THERE ANYWAY TO FIX THIS MESS ?
IS THERE ANYWAY TO SYNC REMINDERS AND NOTES BETWEEN THE MAC AND IPHONE (IPAD) WITHOUT THE USE OF ICLOUD ?
Thank you in advance for any help.

I think most users including those who don't face the legal requirements that I do will agree that offering more than one choice to sync data would have been the right thing to do.
Yes, I agree with that. And you do have more than one choice to sync data: (1) iCloud, and (2) OS X Server. That's not counting third-party options.
This is not true. OS X Server is not a choice. The average user shouldn't be expected to pay for the client version of OS X and then pay again for the server version only to make two applications sync when they should do so right out of the box. The payment isn't the worst part. The labor involved in implementing OS X Server is the most difficult part. To expect the average user to use OS X Server as an option to sync Reminders and Notes is nothing short of absurd.
It's not clear what you mean. Notes didn't exist before ML. It's an entirely new application. So is Reminders.
This is not true. Notes existed before as part of the Mail application. I used it under Lion and was able to synchornize it via cable with iTunes. Mountain Lion removed Notes from Mail (a good choice in my opinion) and made it an independent application. However, it also removed the ability to sync it via cable.
My intention was to search for help and perhaps input from others who have experienced the same issues. I don't have an agenda and don't wish to criticize Apple for any retaliatory reason. I am truly disappointed that a company this large would have made such an amateurish mistake and shared my perspective hoping it may help others and spark some changes. I have had other problems with Apple in the recent past when it failed to stand behind its products and the customer service I received from the company was the opposite of what I would have received 15 years ago.
I have also contacted the company and provided feedback. The company has yet to respond and I don't think it will, which is quite sad.
In regards to HIPPA I have already done my research and have it covered as long as Apple allows me to manage my data in the way that best fits my work requirements instead of trying to push a single solution because it wants to promote its iCloud service.

Mail keeps asking for password and icloud setting do not load in system preferences

Hi,
I have a mac mini server with mavericks, i have 2 iMacs as clients running mavericks too, when i use iMac (A) mail app and icloud work fine, them i take iMac (B) and mail app start asking for password , it just won't take the password, icloud do not load and cannot use anything else on system prferences because it locks system preferences, i need to force quit system prefrences , so I return to iMac (A) and i get same behaivor as iMac (B), i would appreciate your help for finding a solution for this.
All network users get the same behaivor, local users do not get this behaivor.
Thanks
Hector

Hector;
I have the same problem. The solution is to log into your client, open Keychain, run Keychain First Aid under file menu. If it fails to find your keychain, note the path, mount the disk that it is looking for, and rerun.
In short, you need to have the disk that your keychain is sitting on mounted. While your user account is mounted, Maveriks cannot match the reference path. Looking like a bug.
Example:
my folder sits on a second disk on server. It is properly setup in the mavericks server.
On the server, it is locally referred to as: /Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user. I can log in to mail on the server when I log in with my user name.
In the workgroup manager, the same location is referred to as:
afp://my_server.local/Users/my_user (or smb)
/Network/Servers/my_server.local/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user
So this is the network path. So the client should be looking for that. But instead, it looks for the local disk, which is not mounted as such. In other words, it looks for:
/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user/Library/Keychains
instead of
/Network/Servers/my_server.local/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user/Library/Keychains
To eliminate this problem, you mount the volume on the client, so it can find. I will keep the editorial to myself, but this is not quality software.

Notes Deleted on Mac and iCloud

I think my Notes have been deleted from the Mac and iCloud by accident. Is there a way to find the deleted Notes? There is nothing on my computer and iCloud does not appear to have any previous data. Does iCloud retain a prior day's data for recovery?

thank you Eric, but any of those solutions works because on Maverick the options on itunes: "Tap on the Info pane, then De-select the option to Sync Notes" is not longer available. Also, I have tried all those steps about de-select sync notes on iphone and mac. I need a solution that consider working on Maverick.
