My reminders are not working

I recently bought a 5s, and since I have had it none of my reminders which are set to repeat, work. If I set a one off reminder, it works fine, but not if set to repeat. Before this phone I had a 3GS, and  it had the same problem which started in August. I assumed that because the phone was old it was a fault with the phone and it was one of the reasons I finally decided to upgrade. Only to find I still have the same problem... I depend heavily on repeating reminders to stay organised and the app is really letting me down. I doubt it's an iOS 7 specific problem like some have suggested as my 3GS was iOS 6 and had the same issue.
I've also tried testing with iCloud switched on and off. Doesn't make any difference...
Any help really appreciated. I've tried looking online for a solution, but only a few people have raised this issue and no solution seems to have been found.
Cheers
Nathalie

Hello there, Nathalie.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some great recommendations for troubleshooting your issue:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Reminders and Tasks
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4000
Particularly:
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, tryinstalling 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.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

  • My Reminders are not working at all on 8.0.2

    Can't get the reminders page, only the New List and Scheduled pages.
    Even in these pages I can't add a new list and if I type anything into Scheduled, there is no response when I press the
    Siri can't even set a reminder.
    Can't find anybody else having these problems on the web.

    Hey Stu,
    Same here. First I was under iOS 8.0.0, brand new 6 plus. Reminders had the same problem: I can't add any task and can't add a new page, can't change the name of the blank page I have in front of me, my reminders are not synced with the computer.
    The only thing I can do is clic on the alarm icon (half-hidden) and when I do it's also blank and I can't add anything, Siri can't either.
    I tried updating to iOS 8.0.2, I tried turning on off the phone, turing on/off the sync with iCloud, restarting the app... Nothing worked.
    I added a screen shot of both the only screens I can see (in french, but "Nouvelle liste" means "New list" and "Programmé" means "Scheduled" so you should recognise the screens).

  • After updating to Mavericks, my reminders are not working?

    I have update my system OS to Mavericks and my old reminders are stopped working, why this happened?
    how to resolve it? why my reminders stopped?

    Back up all data.
    In the iCloud preference pane, uncheck the box marked Calendars & Reminders if it's checked. You may get an alert that one or more calendars will be deleted from your computer. Confirm. The calendars won't be deleted from iCloud. Leave the preference pane open.
    Quit Reminders if it's running, and also quit Calendar or iCal.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:  
    ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache  
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
    Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
    If you unchecked the box in the iCloud preference pane, check it again and close the preference pane.
    Launch Reminders and test.
    *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, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Uploaded mountain lion and iCal and reminders are not working, can I reinstall if purchased online?

    They keep showing program loading like they have stalled, and then turn off.

    I made sure I backed up on my external hard drive back up before downloaded.  Everything hung up for so long, from trying to upload iCloud to the other problems my Mac got VERY HOT, so I shut it down for tonight and when we are both cool in mind ( the Mac and me) I will restart and tell you if it worked.  Thanks

  • My calendar and reminders are not working

    the reminders have nothing to press on except the "edit" button & when I press it, the ipad returns on his own to the home screen
    The calender have no buttons to press, no "+" button and nothing happen when I press and hold in any day
    I don't know where the problems is as it's a new ipad (with retina display)
    that happened in iOS 6.0.1 and also exactly the same with iOS 6.1.3 after updating

    Thanks, it works now but actually the problem was that i didn't log in to my account wit my ipad before as i had it only 2 days ago
    So when I logged in all things worked ok, it's like that they have found an account to sync these events with or to save them on it
    So thanks a lot for the help

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

  • Text messages ringtones are not working in the Storm Two

    Device:  Storm Two running OS version 5.0.0.713 on the Verizon Wireless network.
    Recently, I upgraded from a Storm One to a Storm Two because of a multitude of issues with the Storm One; not enough memory, constant lock-ups; dropped calls, etc.  On the Storm One I had customer ringtones for contacts; so when a contact calls me the phone will sound a specific ringtone for that contact; the same for text messages from that contact. Now that I have the Storm Two the text message tones for the contacts are not working. In fact, even when I select a ringtone for text messages for a contact the phone will ring the generic ringtone that comes with the phone. If I go into the sound profile and change the generic ringtone to one of my own and the contact sends me a text/sms message the phone will ring the ringtone that I selected in the profile that is being used at the time. This is not the way it worked on the Storm One.  On the Storm One; if I have a specific ringtone for the contact and that contact sends me a text message it will sound the text messages tone for that contact. These ringtones have worked for previous devices including my Treo and Palm devices. The ringtone files worked well in the previous Storm One.
    So to make a long story short; I want to know why my text message ringtones are not working as designed/setup-up. If a contact calls me the phone will sound the ringtone for that contact; but if that same contact text me it will not ring the ringtone for the contact. This is annoying and I am at my wits end trying to find out why this is not working.

    Hi Jain....
    Field separator is for separating the fields.That means it will effect every field in the node.
    But end separator is not like that.It will apply at the end ofall fields of a node.It will effect node not a field.
    according to ur scenario if u use data.endseparator 'nl',output will come like this
    2008/0701$101
    2008/0701$102
    2008/0701$103
    2008/0702$105
    if u want new line for every field try to insert a separate node for second field.That means
    MT_DATATYPE:
    Data -
    1:UnBounded
    . .OrderDate----
    1:1
       <Data2>                   1:1
    . ....OrderNo -
    1:1
    now give data.endseparator  'nl'
                data2.endseparator 'nl'
    if possible try like this....

  • Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords are not working now can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS

    Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari '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 Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is 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.

  • Keyboard and trackpad are not working, Keyboard and trackpad are not working

    I'm using MBP 15" late 2008 with Maverick OS. A couple of days ago, the internal keyboard and trackpad are not working at all. I did all the troubleshooting. I even reformat it; installing the snow leopard and re-installing the maverick but no good result. I believe there's no problem with my keyboard because i can still do PRAM on my lappy. Everytime i'm booting up my MBP, it always looking for bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. I have not used those bluetooth peripherals from day 1 i've started using MBP. I just read on the internet about the same problem has happened on MBP 13" retina and APPLE fixed it by updating the software. I wish Apple will also do something for the old MBP to fix the intermal keyboard and trackpad problem.

    Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
    You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.
