Reminders show on calendar MacBook but not iMac?

Hi everyone,
I've recently installed Mountain Lion (version 10.8.3) on my late 2009 iMac and miss the to-do list that showed up on the sidebar of iCal in Snow Leopard.
I now see that there is a separate Reminders app but nothing from my calendar shows up in it.
When I look at Calendar on my late 2011 MacBook Pro, the reminders show up on the left hand side of it, why doesnt that also happen on my iMac?
MYOB uses Calendar to add bill due dates but its often more difficult to view whats due when and in what order, well at least a little more difficult than when I could see it in a ordered list and check them off as completed in Snow Leopard.
I know this is probably one of the more trivial questions but its really annoying me!!
Any help you can offer would be appreciated. I just dont understand why the layout isnt the same across the iMacs and MacBooks?
Thanks
Kristy
n.b. I am using an icloud calendar, not an On My Mac calendar.

Thanks, yes I have iCloud set up.
My question is why do reminders (or to-do's) not show on my iMac calendar they do on my MacBook Pro?
I do not need to sync from the iMac to any other devices. I just want the Calendar and Reminders app on my iMac to sync, and would really like to learn if there is a way to have reminders show up on the calendar itself.
I just checked my MacBook Pro version and its running Lion which still uses iCal. Possibly thats the reason they are different.
I will admit I'll be disappointed if this is just something thats not included with Mountain Lion.

Pdf docs will load on MacBook but not iMac

I have an iMac and a Macbook Air. Both bought in the past three years. I am running a proprietary back end database which uses a browser as a front end and is Java dependant.. Both have current versions of OS Mavericks, Java, safari and mozilla. The database contains pdf docs that are displayed with the standard pdf icon. When I click on the icon in my MacBook, they load into Word or Adobe on a separate page. When I click on the icons in my iMac they do not load. Does anyone have and ideas?

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. I realized I was not clear. The docs are resumes. If they are Word docs, they open in Word. If they are pdf, they open in Adobe Acrobat Pro. These open fine on my MacBook Pro, but not the iMac. When I try opening them on the iMac, I get a Java error message. Any ideas?

Downloaded (free) CalenMob app to sync to google calendar, and it only shows my calendar entries but not the entries of my coworkers I share the calendar with. How do I sync to google calendar so I can see the entries of people I share my calendar with?

I downloaded the free CalenMob app to sync phone with shared google calednar at work, but I can only see the calendar entries of some of my coworkers but not all - even though all of our calendars are shared. Is CalenMob the best app to use for syncing to google calendar? Do I need to enter the coworkers' gmail account info onto my phone in order for their calendar entries to show up on my phone calendar?

Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

Messages Notifications working on Macbook but not iMac

So I update to Mavericks two days ago and everything is working great except for Messages. Now on my macbook, Messages works completely fine. I get a Notification when I get a new text from iMessage on my iOS and the syncing is great. But the problem I have is that on my iMac at work, Im not able to receive notifications for Messages. The syncing with my iOS is completely fine but I don't receive any Notificaitons. All of the settings are completely the same on both computers. And I've tried rebooting my phone as well.
Any suggestions?

HI,
In Applications/Utilities open the Activity Monitor
Find the Notification item and highlight it.
Now use the quit option top left and confirm Force Quit.

Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud 2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel. I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version).
The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.” After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
Sound familiar? Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue? Thanks much in advance!

I have a Rocketfish mini display port to VGA adaptor cord for a macbook pro, it was working fine the first week, now it does not show what I am seeing on my laptop on my lg Flat screen tv. It only shows the space background but not any icons. Any help??

Is there anything I should do to the TV or any settings i should do from my actual Macbook? It only shows the space background but not any of my icons or what i am seeing on my laptop screen. It is a new adaptor which was purchased last week.

It seems as though though it may be a connection issue, possibly hardware or adapter. Make certain the connections are TIGHT.
For software you may try a smc reset:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
Try a pram reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If no joy you can take it in to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation make an appointment first.

Duplicate calendar entries - but not related to any kind of sync

I went on holiday for 3 weeks and during that time my iPod touch discharged completely. When I came back and charged it up again I saw that it had reset its date back to what I presume is the factory default of 01 January 1970. I set the date and time to the current date and time - and then discovered that all my MONTHLY and YEARLY repeating calendar entries (but not the WEEKLY ones) have all been duplicated. This is not the result of any kind of sync up since (following a complete system rebuild following a virus attack) I have not yet reinstalled iTunes on my PC and I have not knowingly synced with Outlook because I almost never use it. If I delete an entry that has been duplicated then BOTH entries are deleted. Has anyone seen this behaviour and can tell me how I can remove the duplicate entries? I have looked for posts relating to duplicate calendar entries but they all deal with syncing-related problems whereas mine is not. Thanks.

I have a similar issue. I bought an ipod touch last week and today I synced my entourage contacts, and address book. The address book entries are fine, but I have duplicates on my calendar. Now, its not duplicating per day, its duplicating the previous or next day. For instance, I have a birthday listed for today, it will also show for yesterday or tomorrow. What is causing this? I've checked the calendar on entourage and ical and both show correctly. (ical copies items from entourage)

Files show up in downloads but not in Finder

Files showing up in downloads but not in Finder I am running OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro. I am having a problem with Finder being able to display all the files in folders, if any. The files show up in downloads for instance but when I go to my downloads in Finder, the folders are empty.

The screenshot doesn't show the downloads…
It may also help to know what you are expecting to see in there - for example Application XXYY says I downloaded AABB, but I can't see AABB.
Certain apps have their own settings for where to store files - more info needed.

If it's an Audiobook, then it's probably in the Audiobook section of your iPhone. Have you set your iTunes to Sync Audiobooks with your iPhone?
Alternatively, if the Audiobook was imported into your iTunes Library as as Music, then it's going to be in the Music section of your iPhone. If so, then it will be in the Music section of your iTunes Library. To move it to the Audiobooks section, select it in the Library and choose File/Get Info/Options>Media Kind where you can change it.
You can change it to a Podcast, but since something is only a Podcast if it is delivered to your iTunes as a Podcast download (which is a process for delivering files without you having to go and find them), then your audiobook is not a Podcast and you may forget (in the future) how you obtained the book in the first place
