Reminders app: "lunch" is always noon by default

Is there a way from keeping the auto-scheduling of events by word matching from happening?

Are you using the native iOS Reminders app? Because I've neer seen it do what you are describing. Even the function to set it for a specific day has to be turned on for any give reminder entry, much less a specific time matched to a key word.

IOS7 Reminders app keeps changing color

With the updated version of the Reminders app in iOS7, users now have the ability to set a color scheme for each list they have created. However, the color of my default list keeps changing back to orange every time I either add a new task or mark a task as completed. Regardless of how often I manually change the color option back to any other color (I'd prefer red for my default list), that particular list always reverts back to orange anytime the list is modified. Although its not huge issue, its becoming increasingly frustrating that I cannot set the color of the Reminders list that I use all of the time.
Anyone else experiencing this issue and are there any solutions?
Thanks!

Hello SofaKeenGrad,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the Reminders app will not keep the color you select for some reason.
I have a few recommendations for you here:
First I would start by closing all the running apps on the phone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that, next I would restart your iPhone.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists after that, I would try backing up your phone to iTunes, then restore your phone.

Before you restore your phone from your backup, try setting it up as new, and verify the Reminders app works as expected. Then restore from your backup, and test the issue again.
All the best,

Reminders App in iOS 7

Is anyone else having MAJOR issues with the iOS 7 version of the Reminders app?
Here are some things i've encountered.
1. In settings, when you set the default 'list', and then go to reminders, it always goes to the last list you were on, not the default.
2. (and i'm shocked that apple messed this one up)... There is no longer a "+" sign to create a reminder. You have to scroll down to the bottom of your list in order to add a reminder. And when you are in the 'scheduled' reminders, the 'return' key does not allow you to create another reminder.
Has anyone else had these problems or know a solution? I just feel like this app took two giant steps back instead of any steps forward.

Same problem. I contacted Apple and a customer service agent tried to help me. I had them go through the same process and they agree it is flawed. They put in a request to management to fix it but who knows how long that will take. Ios7 made reminders worse.
Also everytime I delete a reminder instead of marking it complete, it scrolls up to the top of the page. Little thing but so annoying. Have to scroll all the way back down.
Becasue you cant edit in the notes areas of Reminders, another pain is trying to copy any text from. You cant even do that if you want to bring it to another app to edit, without having a headache.

How can I set the Reminders app so that it does not shown my AppleID password as the header for my lists on my desktop or laptop screen?!?

My Reminders app which I sync with iPad shows my AppleID password as a heading for my lists when I have it open on my screen of my laptop or desktop. The iPad does not reveal the password the same way. Desktop is not so worrisome, but I don't understand why this would happen and is especially weird if I have the app open in public on my laptop. Is this a default? What do I do to make sure the list does not show by password? I understand that sharing the Reminders via the iCloud may cause a need to show what Reminder lists are being shared between a device and laptop, but why not a user name instead of the PASSWORD!!!?

Where in the Reminder's window are you seeing the password. Here's what my Reminder's window looks like?
That's Reminders V2.0 on 10.9.4.

Can't Set Time in "Reminders" App

This seems like a really basic question that should be a non-issue, but I can't figure out how to set a specific Time for the "Reminders" application on my Macbook Air 2012 (with Mountian Lion).
I can creat New Reminders, name them, I can make a reminder go off "by day" or "by location".
When I try to set a reminder "by day", I can name the note - then I have the ability to make the note "show info", where I can adjust which day on the calendar the note will be for. I can adjust the date by clicking the date, which opens up a calendar.
However, if I click the time, nothing happens. It seems to automatically set the time it will go off as the start of the following hour.
Is there a bug with my app or am I doing something wrong? What am I missing?
Thanks for much for your help

First of activate Speech & Dictation from System Preferences,you will be offered a warning! If you do activate Speech & Dictation then open the Reminders app, place your cursor in the list on the right, tap the fn key twice then say what you want... Call mother 29th of September at 4 PM press fn key once to finish.
Note: the fn key is the default activation key but it can be changed to suit your needs.

Problem with Reminders App

I have a locational reminder that won't go away. Every time I come home the reminder banner pops up, but when I open the reminders app the task is not there for me to complete or delete - any ideas?

So is this the way Apple works now? Not solving customers problems? I'm sure so many users have had this problem. I've had, and I reinstalled Mavericks 3 times. Works fine for some days and then several Apple Apps stop working. Is that a way to force us ti update to Yosemite? (I don't want to) and then pay to update some third party programs (i.e. Pro Tools). Also, there are so many 15" MacBooks Pro with graphic problems and of course the guys at the Apple Service Centers always say: "It's the logic board, you can have it replaced, but it's so expensive I would recommend a new Mac". I really, really miss Steve Jobs!

I bought a used macbook air, with reinstalled the OS without iMovie. How can I get iMovie on App free of charge as a default in macbook air ?

Unfortunately, as recommended by the lady from CA, as long as the Mac is still associated with the Apple ID of the original owner, you can't even buy those iLife apps with that Mac. You will always get the alert to download them with the original owner's Apple ID.
As suggested by the chavo from España, you need the original owner to contact Apple Care* and request that the OS and the iLife apps be disassociated from his Apple ID. Then you should be free to OS X Recovery to resinstall the most recent version of OS X that shipped with the Mac and install the iLife apps. Afterward, before using any of the iLife apps you need to open the Mac App Store (MAS) to the Purchases pane and Accept these apps into your MAS account's Apple ID. If you use any of the iLife apps before you have accepted them into your account, as per the app's Terms of Use, they all become one-trick-ponies that can not be downloaded onto another Mac or updated.
OS X Recovery -

*If you bought the Mac from a 2nd hand shop and don't have access to the original owner, you may need to provide Apple a purchase receipt to offer proof of sale.

Reminders app stopped working

iPhone 5 (GSM) on iOS 8.3.
I noticed that my Reminders app wasn't syncing with iCloud via wifi or LTE, so I turned off/on the setting in iCloud. The app stopped working at all after that. When I open the app, nothing shows up at all, not even a default list. When I try to use Siri to remind me, Siri will say that the reminder cannot be made.
I tried restoring iOS then restoring the backup, same thing still happened.

Hello gotlactose,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you continue to have issues with Reminders either launching or syncing, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

How do I delete a list in the Reminders App?

I added a new list in the Reminders app on IOS5 (on my 3GS). The list is listed under my Google Apps account, and the default list is listed under iCloud. Now I want to remove the list i created, but that doesn't seem to be possible.
Does anyone know how you delete lists?
I also don't know where on my Google Apps account the list should appear. If I did, maybe there is where you delete it?

I did that but it doesn't give me the possibilty to delete lists, just add new ones. I tried to add another list so I have two, and now when I tap the Edit button it gives me the possiblity to delete lists, seemingly both ones. But I can only delelete one of them. It's like it's forcing me to keep one list on my Google Apps account. It should be enough to have just the default one on iCloud you would think.
Or is the trick to somehow remove my Apps account from the Reminders app all together? But how do I do that?

Reminders App

   Hi there,
     I was trying to figure out how to use the reminder app with its share features and was kinda stumped that notifications were not working. Only when the other user physically opened the reminders app did they see that it had been updated. I explored this a little further and found that the only way for notifications to work was to set a date and time for each reminder.
   My question is, is there a way to just put in your reminder on a shared reminder list and have the other party immediately get a notification without setting up date and time or location for each one?

A couple of weeks after installing iOS 5 in my iPhone 4 I have notices some lag happening all around the system, that was definitely not there in the first days after the install. Core apps, like Mail, Messages and Photos work fast as usual, however the camera, the browser and the Reminders app work with some lag.
The Reminders app in particular dysfunctions very often- it is always now very slow and sometimes it will stuck while creating a new item. Only a restart of the device fixes the issue and then only temporarily. In trying to solve this, I turned off Location Services for the Reminder app, but in vain.
I think an update on iOS 5 is much needed...

I cannot open "Show in Mail" link in Reminders app

Hello Everyone,
I can drag emails over to my reminders app no problem but when I click the "Show in Mail" link. It makes an error sound and doesn't do anything at all.
My default email reader is set to Mail 6.0 in the Mail preferences.
Anyone know what the problem is?

Use Mail to access your emails and not a web browser.
If you have not done this before you can probably get instructions about setting up Apple Mail from your email provider's web site.

Reminders App: badge icon wrong count.

The badge icon that displays the number of reminder alerts is a welcome addition for me in iOS 6. However, I'm somewhat annoyed that it always seems to be incorrect. After a new reminder alert takes place in notification centre, you would expect the badge icon to update, but it doesn't. Opening the App and closing it does nothing either. The only way to update the count, is to re-boot the iPhone. Can anyone tell me how I can submit a bug report for this? Many thanks!

Hi, I wanna share my experience with the wrong badge count.
I had all the task completed but even deleting from Reminders I had number 1 on badge stuck on the App. I had it for months since yesterday when I could reset the counter, here what I did.
1) Initially Reminders was synced with iCloud;
2) In Settings I set up "All Reminders" the Sync;
3) I turned off the syncing on iCloud (Settings Menu);
4) I launched the Reminders app and immediately in the Today I saw the very old task (hidden until that);
5) I deleted the hidden task and the wrong badge disappeared immediately;
6) I turned on the sync with iCloud and now it works flawlessy.
I don't know if it can help but I hope so.

Reminders app iOS

First, where can a person post a wish list for an iOS app, such as Reminders?
For discussion: I really like how Reminders will put Tasks into Outlook, which I'm forced to use at work.
I would like the ability to reorder the Tasks by dragging and type in landscape mode.
Thoughts?

I have a similiar but slightly different problem. My badge won't go away in iCloud unless I "activate" it. This affects both Calendar and Reminders apps and only in iCloud. When I first log in, if I have no reminders I get this odd default # of calendar alerts and reminders. If I create an event that sets off an alert, the badge for the calendar will reset to 0 like its supposed to. If I do the same with a reminder, then the badge for the Reminders will reset to 0 like its supposed to.
Really, really annoying for apps that I use constantly. Unfortunately there's not really a good, simple replacement that doesn't require some other cloud service. Also, I do have one shared calendar and one shared reminder list.

How to tell Reminders app where my home is?

The Problem: When I'm at home my GPS location is always about 50 to 75 meters too far in the south. It's always been like that with all iPhones and iPads and Macs I ever had since I moved to this place. It's got to do with the building. So my iPhone thinks I'm not at home when I actually am.
The Reminders app uses the location from my own address book entry but obviously this doesn't work.
Is there another way to tell the iPhone what to consider as home?

There are several ways,
I prefer this one:
File f = new File (System.getProperty ("user.dir") + "\\myprop.properties");//or something similargreetz,

Reminders app is Dismal

I can understand why having the Reminders app on the Mac would make new users moving from an iPad feel more at home.
But what about the rest of the Mac users that have been users for decades???
I think the problem I'm having is that the To Do lists (Reminders) have been removed from the right side of iCal (Calendar in Mountain Lion) in favor of this new dismal 2nd app strategy… I see no reason why the new reminders app couldn't co-exist with Calendar and it's right side To Do list column so that we the users have the choice.
The Reminders app even has a "Calendar" in it, proving that Reminders should maybe still be in the Calendar app and not separated out.
Another problem is that if I use separate lists to organize Reminders, the app doesn't even have a way to see all my reminders at one time? What a pain! In iCal I could not only see all my reminders I could color coded them by Calendar (list).
Also, 99% of my Reminders never have any Time, Date or Location info associated with them, so the nice new notification center dos not show them and I'm stuck forgetting about them because they are out of sight hidden away in the new awful extra Reminders app…
On an iPad or iPhone with the limited screen sizes, I can see the need for separating the info out into another app, but the screen size of most Macs is not an issue so it makes no sense to take away what was working perfectly in favor of the iPad way of doing it.
The layout and function of iCal in Tiger was the best for Efficiency and Workflow and I would love to see that return.
The way it is now just makes me sad at how much time I wast at clicking extra buttons to edit things or swapping apps or windows around on screen.
Very Sad.
Anyone else feel the same?

I gave it a try for 30 days and altogh it is what Apples iCal/Calendar should be. Some anoyances about it as well as the price made me end up not stick with it. Things like the tab key moved between days instead of events,
Moves between events on mine, alway has,
There was a constant sync indicator blinking and spinning in the calendar list, etc.
I see the indicator during a Dav update or a Sync, but not constantly, only when things change
It just didn't feel polished enugh yet.
I don't share your opinion on that one.
