Reminders app - memo to Apple

When you create these new apps, you should make it possible for users to remove them.
When I need a reminder, I just use the alerts on my calendar. There may be a lot of useful apps, but not for everyone all the time.
Borrow an idea from Barnes & Noble Nook, you can archive books to save them, without having every unused item visible on your device. Same could go for these built-in apps. I have an iPhone and iPad. This applies for both.

Thank you for the reply Don. I actually tried that, and a lot more. None of it made a difference until I tried what I was dreading...RESTORE! I did a restore, clicked "New Phone" and now everything is back to normal. Even my calendar events that all disappeared from my phone magically returned!
Now the only problem I'm having is wrestling with two appleIDs as are many others.
I'm glad your fix wasn't as involved as mine.
Take care!

Apple Reminders App not reminding

iphone 5S T-Mobile
iOS 8.2
I've created several date and time based reminders in the Apple Reminders App, but none of them are triggering i.e. actually notifying me. I have removed all of my reminders, lists and entered them again with new dates/times but they are still not being triggered. How can I get the Reminders app to work? I have already attempted a restart and reset.

Outlook tasks completed in iOS Reminders app regenerate 'orphaned' reminders endlessly in Outlook.

Our small business runs up-to-date (iOS 8) Apple devices that sync via MS Exchange with our email, contacts, reminders, etc.
I create a task in Outlook and include a reminder. The task and reminder sync to Reminders on my iPhone and iPad. When I mark a task complete on mobile, the reminder disappears there as it should... but it regenerates the reminder in Outlook! The Outlook task is complete, but the reminder pops up at the top of the list in the Outlook reminders pop-up window. Marking it complete there is an option, but it just regenerates a new reminder. The only way to remove this 'orphan' reminder is to dismiss the reminder or delete the task.
The iOS 8 Reminders app would be very useful but for this bug. It's even better that it puts my work tasks and home tasks (we use a Mac at home so no problem there) in one place. But as it is, the app is not a time saver, but a time-waster and a source of frustration.
Please advise!

I do not know the answerr. Ik also have same question

How can i save multiple locations to my reminders app on the iphone 4?

I want to be reminded to do a task when I arrive home. Is it possible to save my home location (and other useful locations) to the reminders app? This is more useful than guessing when I will arrive at a location and setting a reminder for then.
If not possible at the moment, Apple please include this in the next iOS update. Thank you.

Yes, this is possible. Go into your contacts list and choose yourself (hopefully you're in there and set up as the user on the phone.) Then enter in your addresses (home, work, school, etc.) and next time you set up a location based reminder those address will be in there.

Are the bugged badges for the iOS Reminders app a known issue?

I've seen quite a few posts covering many years on this issue, and it seems to have gone ignored by Apple.
The issue is badges not showing up for the Reminders app, even though they are turned on in the Notifications Center. It does not seem to be that they are simply broken, because if you change the priority of a reminder, or physically go in and "Snooze" a reminder, then it seems to force the app to pull up a badge.
I'm not totally sure what I expect out of another discussion, since most of the ones I have found ended with "yep, it's broken", but if you happen to know of a fix, or have heard that maybe Apple is aware of it... I'd love to hear it!
Thanks!

The Hosts read posts if they are notified by users about possible Terms of Use violations.

What's a good replacement for the reminders app?

Hello everyone, thanks for your input.
I've been on the phone with Apple support about this for some time and it seems that this was a core change made in Yosemite and since I "upgraded" to icloud drive, I can't just back to Mavericks and still having things sync via icloud.
The reminders app no longer supports grouping of completed tasks by the day they were completed, and instead just shows a big list of every reminder ever completed in that list. I have to note what proofs and designs I make on a time sheet at the end of each pay period and to do that I need to know what task was completed what day. Reminders was a very slick way to keep track of both the things that still need doing as well as see what was completed when. Now that I've installed Yosemite the only way to see completed reminders organized by day is to log into the icloud web interface on an OSX or windows computer and I'm concerned that that's not going to be an option for much longer since iOS 8 and Yosemite have both removed it.   It's a small change but its absolutely core to what I do. It's one of those little workflow things that seems inconsequential but has the potential to accumulate and just totally screw up your my Sundays and delay my pay checks if not done right. All the solutions I'm coming up with, from tally them in an excel sheet to noting them in the calendar app instead of reminders, to just writing them down on postits are all kind of a clumsy, error-prone steps backward to the point that rolling back to Mavericks is looking like the best option (a painful option but at least it's just a 1-time pain)
Before I start the mess of going in and rolling back to Mavericks and all that that entails I just wanted to see what other options are out there? Surely there's a 3'rd party app that does what reminders used to do.
Ideally I just want it to do 3 things
     1. let me add simple reminders from OSX, ipad or iphone
     2. sync them to all the devices.
     3. let me organize the completed reminders by what day they were completed.
Thanks!

Wunderlist
I would love to see reminders with better snchronization features... Not just between ios and OSX but also between ical-google cal etc...
A good alternative right now is Wunderlist from the Mac app store.
Pretty much does the same thing..
It has Notification and widget snchronization with Yosemite.
It also syncs between Ical Google Calendar, android and ios....
Reminders needs a lot of work in my opinion.
Wunderlist does what Reminders should be doing.
It definitely addresses 1, 2
3 is also done... You will have to check it out to see if it does it the way you want....
If its for bussiness I would suggest you use the pro paid version for added functionality.
Free version is however great also.

Hi, we just bought a Macbook air and we can't find the 'reminders' app in the applications or through the spotlight search. Is there a link to download the app? I can't find it online or through the app store. Please help!

Reminders is automatically installed with 10.8 or above. A new Mac should have 10.9; it's possible that, with a third-party vendor, you have an earlier OS. Check under the Apple menu in the top left and click About This Mac. That will tell you what version of OS X you have.

IOS 5 Reminders App Bug

I would like to report a bug with the Reminders app on iOS 5.1. I had this issue on iOS 5.0 and 5.0.1, but thought it should be fixed by now.
Here are the steps I take and what happens:
I create a new reminder, let's say "Pick up stuff from locker" on a certain day at 3 PM, and set it to remind me every day until I do it.
It reminds me every day at the right time, with no problems.
I finally get the reminder done, and pick up stuff from my locker. I then open the Reminders app.
I check the checkbox next to "Pick up stuff from locker", and wait a few seconds.
The reminder stays on the Reminders page. I swipe to the right to reveal the Completed page, and I see "Pick up stuff from locker" there.
I swipe back to the Reminders page, and STILL, the reminder "Pick up stuff from locker" is there, and this time it's unchecked.
I repeat steps (4) to (6) with no end in sight. At this point, I have duplicates of "Pick up stuff from locker" in the Completed page, but the reminder still will not disappear from the Reminders page. It's not until I actually have to manually delete all the duplcates AND the original reminder from the Reminders page do I see things go back to normal.
I think this is a serious bug, and I would like to see it finally fixed in the near future.

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!

On restart Launch Pad, Reminders, App Store and Notes appears back on Dock

I have installed Mountain Lion and loving most of the features.
I am using the five finger pinch shortcut on the trackpad to get to the Dashboard.
Its a great feature so now I have deleted all my apps on the dock.
Instead I have put my many folders on the dock.
However, on restart of my macbook pro the Launch Pad, Reminders, App Store and Notes appears back on dock
Is there a way I can switch this annoying push to have to use Apple apps on the dock?

I noticed it sometimes happened when I am on Lion.
I don't use all the Apple software, and some never even opened them to use.
But they end up back on my dock again which is super annoying.

How do I get Exchange Tasks to display on the Mountain Lion Reminders app?, How do I get Exchange Tasks to display on the Mountain Lion Reminders app?

I am trying to get Exchange and iCloud to play nice. I am trying to get iOS Reminders and OSX Reminders to be in sync with Outlook 2011 Tasks.
Here's the situation:
Outlook 2011 Tasks sync with iPhone's Reminders app (via Exchange), and vice versa -- this is a work account.
OSX Reminders syncs with iOS Reminders (via iCloud) -- this is personal account and Apple ID account.
OSX Reminders will NOT sync with iOS Reminders.
I don't care if it's through Exchange or iCloud, just as long as Outlook Tasks sync with iOS Reminders and OSX Reminders.

I accidentally deleted the Reminders only on mac section in the reminders.app on mountain lion. How do I get it back?

I accidentally deleted the Reminders only on mac section in the reminders.app on mountain lion. How do I get it back?
I checked @ http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/features.html#reminders and it says under Multi Accounts: "Reminders works with CalDAV services like Google Calendar and Yahoo! Calendar. You can also create reminders that appear only on your Mac."

Quit Safai (double tap the home button, hold the app icon until it wiggles, tap , double tap the home button gain)
Settings > iCloud > Turn off Safari > Delete from phone then turn Safari back on

Can't set time in reminders app in OS X ML

hey,
according to apple's instructions at: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11838,
setting a time for a reminder in the OS X Mountain Lion is just like doing it on an iDevice:
4.Click the time to enter a different time.
But not so, when adding a reminder in the Reminders.app on my mac and trying to modify the date, for instance,
it does let me change it, but when clicking the time it doesn't react.
and clues?

For some reason SpeedGrade updated through the Application manager. I tried downloading the updates from adobe's website but it won't install. Prelude's update fails before it can even get started whereas the extension manager does install but it doesn't seem to be updating.
I've done as much investigation as I can think of and I'd rather not create a new user just to check that out but if I have to I will. How exactly do I create a new user on a mac?

Reminders.app locations

I can't seem to get reminders.app to update the list of location-based reminders. When I type "home" in a location based reminder, it pulls up two old "home" addresses I had listed...I tried changing my contact card to another one then changing back, but it didn't seem to refresh. I couldn't find a pref file or anything else that I could delete...any help?
It seems like it is caching addresses somewhere.

Well it turns out it can't be done. This strikes me as odd as the buildup of unwanted locations makes the app cumbersome to use. If you have the same problem may I suggest you file a complaint with Apple here.
