Reminders not syncing properly

Reminders sync from my iphone to my mac if i create a new list. But if i create a new list on my mac, it doesent sync that list to my phone. But it works the opposite way, please help.

Try this:
When you send old reminders to Completed, they apparently stay on iCloud and are counted as part of the total number of reminders there.
There is a limit, rather small, to the number of reminders that can be accommodated on iCloud.  You cannot transfer new reminders between devices when the limit is reached. 
But if you remove these completed reminders (and maybe lists that you do not need), the sync works
In the future, use the Delete function by highlighting the reminder and right clicking to get the Delete function.
Worked immediately for me.  Apple's bad.

  • Reminders not syncing properly with iCloud and iOS 8

    I have an iMac running OS X 10.9.4 and an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2.  I use Reminders on both my iMac and my iPhone and iCloud is turned on for both devices.
    If I create a reminder on my iMac, I can see it immediately when I log in to iCloud.com and go to Reminders.  It does not show up on my iPhone.  If I edit this reminder on either the iMac or iCloud.com, the changes sync immediately between the iMac and iCloud.com but NOT my iPhone.
    If I create a reminder on iCloud.com, it immediately shows up on my iMac.  It does not show up on my iPhone.  If I edit this reminder on either the iMac or iCloud.com, the changes sync immediately between the iMac and iCloud.com but NOT my iPhone.
    If I create a reminder on my iPhone, it shows up on my iMac and iCloud.com.  If I edit this reminder on either the iMac or iCloud.com, the changes sync immediately between the iMac and iCloud.com but NOT my iPhone.
    In order for any edits/deletes to sync to/from the iPhone, I either need to create the event on the iPhone, at which point it syncs any other changes, or I need to create a new dummy event and then delete it, at which point it syncs any other changes.
    Basically, it seems like the iPhone needs to initiate a "hey iCloud, here are changes from my end.  Oh, there are changes from other devices?  OK, I'll show those changes" protocol, otherwise it just doesn't receive any updates from iCloud.
    I don't think it's an issue with my iCloud account, since Reminders on my iMac and Reminders on iCloud.com sync just fine.
    On my iPhone, I have tried:
    -Force quitting and re-opening the app
    -Changing the Reminders sync options (Settings -> Reminders -> Sync)
    -Turning Reminders off and back on under Settings -> iCloud -> Reminders
    -Turning the iPhone off and back on
    None of those methods have fixed this issue.
    Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue or is this unique to my iPhone?

    Hi mrbofus,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I see that you're experiencing issues with iCloud syncing your reminders on your iPhone.  To troubleshoot this issue I'd like you to please follow the steps below.
    General troubleshooting
    Check the System Status page to make sure there aren't any issues affecting iCloud Bookmarks or Reading List.
    Make sure you've fully enabled iCloud Calendar & Reminders for the client you are using. For more setup and troubleshooting information, see the additional steps for iOS, OS X, Windows, and iCloud.com in this article.
    Check iCloud Help (help.apple.com/icloud) for possible information about the issue you are experiencing.
    Check your settings and preferences, because something may not be set up correctly. For example, having incorrect date and time settings can cause issues that are easily resolved by entering the appropriate settings.
    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, try installing 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.

  • The reminders app in my iPhone and the reminders in Mac are not syncing properly

    I use the Reminders app and Notes app extensively to keep track in both my Mac and iPhone. However the reminders app in my phone does not immediately sync when i made changes in my Mac and later when i make a change in my iphone Reminders, it over writes the reminders in Mac. Please help so that my work syncs smoothly from Mac to iPhone and vice versa without any loss of information, just as Apple advertises and takes pride in being able to do so. 

    There are a couple threads out there with this issue.  I had the same problem. Try this link for the answer...
    Re: Reminders not syncing properly with iCloud and iOS 8
    At the bottom - one person has the answer...On your iPhone remove your iCloud account.  Then add it back.  It's not as painful as it sounds it only took me less than 5min to add everything back

  • I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly.  How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

    I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly.  New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs.  It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update.  How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

    Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

  • ICal not syncing properly w/ iPod Touch

    I believe this is an iCal problem, not an iPod issue:
    My new iPod Touch is not syncing properly with my iCal calendars. I notice after syncing "All Calendars" that some of my appointments in iCal were showing up, but most were not. And some events on my iPod were not on my laptop. I tried the "Replace Information" option under Info in iTunes, but it didn't help. Then I noticed something even weirder -- the list of Calendars that appears in the "Selected Calendars" list in iTunes is NOT my current set of calendars. The iTunes list includes some calendars that I have deleted or renamed, and is missing some new ones. So I guess I'm not surprised by the events being out of sync, but how can this be? How can iTunes be picking up an obsolete set of calendars and events?
    I tried a backup within iCal, then deleted every calendar one-by-one, leaving just a new calender named "empty". I quit iCal and iTunes, and also deleted four files in my Prefs folder and the iCal folder in Application support. Then I did restored from my iCal backup, and quit and restarted both iCal and iTunes. After all that, iTunes still shows the old list of calendars.
    I'll also mention that iCal itself has been very squirrelly for quite a long time. Every so often it will just "run away", chewing up CPU and memory until I force-quit. Haven't solved that one, yet, either.
    Any suggestions?

    PROBLEM SOLVED: I backed up my iCal data (from within iCal); quit; deleted all prefs, iCal cache files, and the whole Calendars folder in my Library; then relaunched iCal and Restored from my backup file. iTunes then showed the correct list of calendars when I connected my iPod touch, and I got a proper sync. Who knows, maybe this will also fix the frequent runaway crashes I've been having.

  • Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

    Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly.  Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync.  Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.
    Solutions?

    No, I never really found an easy solution.  I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device.  In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs.  A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup.  It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad.  But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost.  When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might.  If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
    None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it.  I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
    Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

  • My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

  • My ipod touch is not syncing properly.

    My Ipod touch is not syncing properly.  I download podcasts and it will not allow me to delete some shows after they have been listened to.  It is a neverending cycle of deleting unwanted podcast episodes from itunes on the computer, plugging in my ipod, syncing, and then it always takes the already listened to episodes, and puts them back into itunes on the comp.  I then delete them on the comp again, sync the ipod, and it again pulls them over from the ipod.  I have it set up to only sync unlistened to episodes, and beyond that, only checked things, but it does not seem to matter.  The only thing I can do to get the episodes off the ipod for good is to do a factory reset, and that absolutely should not be necessary!  Any ideas for something I am not seeing that is allowing this to continually happen?  This just started happening a couple of months ago.  Not sure what changed, but would like it fixed!  Thanks for any ideas in advance!

    I have a similar problem, all since the ios update i think, my podcasts do not seem to sync, I have a song purchase via the ipod which no longer plays (just sits on the screen) this also doesnt sync back to itunes.
    Its a complete mess. Seems everytime Apple push out an update my ipod becomes less useable.

    5. Use backup copies of my music in case the music files had been corrupted.
    6. Checked numerious mac community forms that report simular issues.
    7. Tried another macbook pro that I have
    8. My wifes account which has about 8000 songs did no have the issue. My account seems to have the issue sobeservices2. I beleive this to be account specific. My account has 11481 songs and about 100 to 100 show with the status of "waiting"

    16. Called Apple Care and spoke with a Senior Advisor who told me he would have to escalate a ticket and he to thought I had done all the tsing possible and that it was up to the engineers to figure out a solution.
    I have been working on this for about 4 weeks now. All my trouble shooting has pointed it to be an account specific issue.
    Any advise from the community

    Hi
    I have had a similar set of issues.  8000 songs, 800 in waiting.  All ripped from CD into Apple Lossless - mainly classical so most didn't match directly.
    First I ripped all these 8000 songs for my father first on his laptop from his CD collection.  Eventually got them all matched or uploaded to his Match account (except one) by the usual tricks people suggest (e.g. recoding as AIFF or MP3 etc, deleting, re-adding blah blah). Though of course I shouldn't really have to waste my time doing this.  One song absolutely refused to upload. Tried everything - including buying a pristine downloadable version off the publisher's website.  Still resolutely refuses to upload.
    Anyway - main problem is now with my PC. I copied all these 8000 tracks over. Re-installed everything etc.  800 remain in "waiting" (even though they uploaded Ok on a different account).  When I rip my own CDs even some common stuff (e.g. Bowie/Stones) gets uploaded instead or matched and often with one or two tracks stuck in 'waiting'.
    If I then look at my IPad (with Match enabled), it will show these waiting tracks as if they were already downloaded to it (which of course they are not). If I try and play one of them it just skips over it.

  • My iPod Touch 5th Generation will not sync properly

  • My iPad is not syncing properly with my calendar on my computer.  Everything is a day off on the IPad.  Any suggestions?

    My iPad calendar is not syncing properly with my computer.  Everything in the iPad Calendar is one day off....any suggestions?

    Susan,
    Also note that the calender can be set to preserve a time zone by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and turning ON Time Zone Support - but then your flight times will be correct for the local time zone...found that one while on travel and the calender was showing a flight time that was an hour earlier than I thought it was.  I had not turned on Time Zone support and it moved the time I had entered at home to the time of the local zone.
    Convenient as long as you pay attention

    I think it is just a bug, but it in very frustrating. I was using just now for about an hour and suddenly the correct artwork appeared for what was playing....but then all went wrong again!!
    Apple, please, please issue a patch for this. It surely cannot be too complicated to correct.
