REMINDERS and OS4

The thing I've missed most about my Treo is the reliable reminders (and re-reminders) function. Now that OS4 allows for background apps, does anyone know of an effective reminders/TTD/Calendar application. I am specifically craving an application that will remind me of overdue items daily.
Thanks in advance!

Still looking. Desire that app that will give me a visual and auditory reminder for scheduled tasks (not events). Now that OS4 is out, I had anticipated multiple options. Alas, have yet to find one.
Anyone have any insight or similar wishes?

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.

Notes, Reminders and messages closing app syndrome

Hi,
I noticed on ML that REminders and Notes do not have the 'normal' OSX behaviour, i.e. when you close the window, the app exits. Is this normal ? Why ?
More annoyingly messages does the same if you only have an imessage account active, so I need to keep messages window open to stay connected.
Any thoughts ?
See you on the bitstream, Alain

Hi,
Most of the time in any app this seems to depend on the number of windows that an App has.
It also seem more common in Apple apps.
System Info (previously System Profiler) seems to Quit on Closing the window.
As does Keychain Access, Network Utility, Calculator to mention a few.
I tested Calculator in Snow Leopard and go the same action so it has been there for some time
In Messages the iMessages account only would tend to only show the CMD + 0 "Messages" window where the Contact and text messages appear.
However I Logged Out (Disabled the "Enable this account" setting ) on all my other accounts and then went to close the Messages window and the app did not Quit.
I can't repeat the last bit of your post.

Reminders and notes.. why?

I'd consider myself a busy working person with two young children to look after single-handed but I still can't honestly believe that people operate in the way Apple thinks we do.
Does anybody REALLY have a daily reminders list with..
"Don't forget the milk"
"Don't forget the laundry"
"Dinner at 6"
"Bedtime at 10"
And why have reminders AND notes?? I can see there may be the odd occasion where making a quick note might be useful but to have it laid out SO precisely?? Life's too short!

It may come as a great surprise to you but different people have different ways of dealing with their busy lives, different needs for capturing and organizing information. Not everyone is just like you.

I have downloaded IOS7 on my 4s and everything worked fine. Now I downloaded IOS 7.0.2 and my notes, reminders, and contacts are gone. How do I get them back?

Hi kamcop68,
If you have a recent backup available (even pre-iOS7), you may want to try restoring your data from there. You may find the following article helpful:

While notes, reminders and calendar are working fine, keynote (beta) and pages (beta) are not responding, they are sticking. What should I do? I would appreciate help. Thank you.

Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

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!

Hi EmmeElle,
Is it an iCloud reminder or a third party reminder like from an Exchange account(maybe your company provides this service together with mail etc..).
In the first case you should definitely be able to delete it by right click->delete or via https://www.icloud.com
In the second case there might be a browser based settings page from your company or the provider of the service (i.e. Exchange) itself. Otherwise you can go to your System Preferences -> Internet Accounts and deactivate reminders for this account. WARNING: this also deletes all other reminder lists and reminders from this service on your mac.

Why have reminders and calendars stopped syncing automatically?

why have reminders and calendars stopped syncing automatically?

If you upgraded the iOS version on them to iOS 7, and you haven't upgraded your iTunes to at least 11.1 then that could be the cause of your issues.

Hi All, i recently done a back up and update & restore, but ive lost my notes, my text messages and my reminders and notes on the calender, i also have lost the data i had in an app which was very important to me. Please Please help me, i,m total novice.
I did this back up because i was instructed by my service provider. This was supposed to sort out my losing connection problem, which it didn't, it instead gave me a new problem. If there is anyone out there who can help me to retrieve my lost information i would appreciate it.
Thank You in advance.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Reminders and Notes Mountain Lion

Hello,
How do I sync Reminders and Notes in Mountain Lion with my iPhone ?

Same issue.
On my phone I have iCloud calendar and reminders turned on.
On my computer I have iCloud Reminders turned on as well as Exchange "Calendar & Reminders" turned on.
The only thing showing up on my computer seem to be task and reminder events being pulled from exchange. And on my iPhone the only thing showing up are items that I composed on the phone. When attempting to add new reminders on either system no syncing occurs.

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.
