Syncing reminders between devices

I use the Reminders app on my ipad - creating lists in the Exchange area - therefore seeing uncompleted tasks on Outlook when I log in, which is great.
My query is, if I was to purchase an ipod touch, and set up using the same apple ID, would all my reminder lists sync between the 2 devices or is this where iCloud comes into play?  I notice I can create lists in the Reminders app under the iCloud option - but I like the fact I get a prompt in Outlook - hence why I create them under the Exchange area.
Hope this makes sense!
Many thanks

ps, just tried this from another thread:
I was having this problem. I changed the syncing range on the phone (under Settings > Reminders) to sync "All Reminders". I then logged into iCloud and opened the Reminders tab. This actually caused the reminders on the phone to match the ones in iCloud.  I then made changes on my phone while that tab was still opened and the changes started to appear in iCould (sometimes takes a few seconds - up to 20 or 30) and synched on my iPad as well. After that, all of my changes started to sync across all devices - iPhone, iPad,Mac and in iCloud, regardless of where I made the initial change.
This works to some degree but just deleted all the reminders from my iPhone that hadn't been synced to the iCloud. Hmmmmm... Not a fix I'd recommend but I guess it works

  • Unable to sync reminders between devices

    hi, why is it that i am unable to sync my reminders app with my imac, iphone and ipad using icloud or itunes?

    Hello Melvin,
    It is definitely important to have your reminders synced between your devices. I found an article that assists with troubleshooting reminders that are not syncing properly: 
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Reminders and Tasks
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4000
    I would pay attention to only the sections that are relevent to your devices: "General Troubleshooting," "Troubleshooting Reminders on OS X Mountain Lion," and "Troubleshooting Reminders on iOS devices."
    I hope this helps you get back on track!
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • IBooks bookmarks syncing incorrectly between devices

    I have a book I am reading on iBooks on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks, my iPhone 5s with iOS 7, and my iPod touch 4g, which has iOS 6. I have each device set up to sync bookmarks and collections between devices, but the bookmarks keep syncing incorrectly. For example: I am reading on my iPhone, and I drop a bookmark 2 pages away from the end of chapter 40. If I open the book on my iPod touch it does not show the current bookmark, but an old one from earlier in the chapter. Another example: I am reading on my iPod touch, and I drop a bookmark two pages away from the end of chapter 40. This time, I open the book on my iPhone, and it has placed a new bookmark at chapter 39! I open the book on my MacBook Pro after that, and a bookmark has been placed at the beginning go chapter 40!
    So, there you have it. I place a bookmark on one device, and the other two devices place bookmarks in completely different places on the book.
    All of my devices have the same Apple ID, and both of the mobile devices are synced with iTunes.
    Has anyone else experienced this?
    Thanks.

    The only info that syncs via iCloud for iBooks is collection lists (not the books themselves), Bookmarks, and Notes.
    The Books themselves can be automatically downloaded if they are coming from the store.  On the iPhone, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Turn on Automatic Downloads for Books.  Same thing can be done on the Mac in preferences.
    Since your Books are not from the store, the only way to get them on both devices is to download them to both devices.  This will never occur automatically.  This also goes for PDFs you add to your iBooks
    Hope that helps solve the mystery.

    If you buy a book on your Mac, it’s automatically available on all of your iOS devices with iOS 6 or later.
    You can even synchronize your bookmarks, notes, and collections across your devices.

  • Syncing apps between devices

    I'm having difficulty syncing some apps between devices so that data is saved. I recently purchased an iPad mini for my daughter and want her to have some of her existing game apps to play, and then delete from my iPad. Anyone encountered the same, or any solutions?

    I'm having the same problem with apps not syncing between my iPhone 5s and iPad Air. I made sure under settings > iTunes & Apps Store that automatic Download is on and selected for Music, Apps, Books, and Updates. Have you gotten a resolution to that issue?

  • Syncing emails between devices

    i would like to have my emails synced between devices. if i delete on my imac, they should delete on my iphone and ipad. isn't this what syncing is supposed to do?

    No.
    This is what IMAP does.  You need to use an IMAP account (versus POP) and then mail is stored on the mail server and you will get the same mail in the same state on all devices.
    Who are you using for Mail?  Not every service provides an IMAP account.  But iCloud mail is IMAP, and is available for free from Apple.

  • HT5372 Does icloud sync bookmarks between devices?

    Hi there,
    Previously, when I synced my iphone to my macbook pro using itunes, the bookmarks in safari including those in the bookmark bar, were synced too. Does icloud sync bookmarks in safari between devices? Thanks.

    Thanks. That worked. Unfortunately, I guess the way I did it, it synced in the wrong direction so I've lost all the bookmarks I'd added to safari on my laptop since the last time these synced. :-(  That's one aspect of icloud I find scary and frustrating.

  • What if you don't want to Sync Reminders Accross Devices?

    We have several iOS devices - my sons both have iPods, my wife and I are both using iPhones, and I use an iPad for work and school.  I am constantly updating my reminders for my own personal tasks (school work, phone calls to make, tasks at work, etc.) and my wife and kids both don't like that they're getting reminded to do things that I have to do.  Is there a way to turn off syncing for devices with reminders?  I would just delete the reminders app for all of them if I could. 
    Thanks for your help.

    To disable reminders sync, on the devices, open Settings > iCloud, and turn off Reminders

  • Syncing Contacts between devices

    I want to sync Contacts between an iMac (OSX 10.6.8), an iPad (ios 5), an iPad2 (ios 6), and an iPhone 4s (ios 6).  I'd like to combine all of them without creating duplicates, if possible.  After the initial combination, I'd like to be able to make entries on any of the devices and re-sync the others using the iMac as the master.  Any suggestions? Also, if there's a better forum to post this question, please let me know.

  • Firefox sync not syncing data between device

    Although Firefox sync syncing, data does not advice.

    It worked!! Thank you so much! Now, may I ask what happened? I feel like if this sort of thing happens again in the future I will have a better understanding of exactly what '''services.sync.clusterURL''' is and why resetting it resolves syncing issues. FYI I deleted some empty folders that were created when this whole issue started and forced an immediate sync and the problem device was no longer a problem. I performed this action on my laptop i.e. the problem device and on my desktop PC so I could thoroughly test the two-way communication and after syncing on either device the changes were reflected on the other.

  • HT5225 Syncing data between devices vs. sharing data and drop box files.

    As you most likely kwow, I've been told that only Lion will allow one to use the cloud to share music, contacts, photos, and etc. between one's phone, iPad, and computer. Let's say I have 4000 photos on my desktop; and I don't wish to see all them on my other devices. Can I choose only the ones I need by connecting the iphone to the pc or iPad by using iTunes- or should I drag and drop all contacts,etc. that I wish to put in icloud - or should I use my drop box for all or some files? For instance, none of my iPhone phone number contacts came with there existing email addresses. I should say that I have many contacts and songs on an older version - leopard that is not compatible with iCloud. What would do?

    Having played around more with PadSync, I find that I can drag files into PadSync (which then sync to the iPad), but when a revised version is synced back to PadSync, I can double click the icon to open the file in the mac's native application, but I can't drag the file out to a destination folder or use any other means of getting it out of PadSync.
    Am I missing something?
    ---- ah, I found the way. I was looking at the files in PadSync using icon view. When I switched to list view, I can then drag files out of PadSync. Funny, I can't drag files out using icon view.

  • Error syncing iBooks between devices

    Anyone else having trouble with iBooks syncing between iPhone and iPad?  The book on iPhone doesn't reflect my place in the book on iPad.  It used to!  "Sync bookmarks" and "sync collections" are checked on both devices.

    Nowadays you have to install the iBooks.app in your mac to manage any books you want to sync or add.

  • Trouble syncing iMessages between devices

    My iPhone 5S had its OS erased by the update yesterday, but most things were synced to my iPad so it wasn't too bad. My iMessages from before my phone crashed are visible on my iPad, but they are not syncing with my phone. Can I get them back on my phone somehow, through iCloud or something else?
    Also, before my phone crashed, my iMessages used to arrive simultaneously between my phone and my iPad. Now, they are only visible on both devices if they are sent through my phone - otherwise, they are only visible on my iPad. How can I fix this?
    Thanks so much for your help.

    I'm having the same problem with apps not syncing between my iPhone 5s and iPad Air. I made sure under settings > iTunes & Apps Store that automatic Download is on and selected for Music, Apps, Books, and Updates. Have you gotten a resolution to that issue?

  • ICloud would not sync Reminders to devices at all

    I cannot get iCloud to sync my Reminders to my iPhone or iPad. I am running Yosemite on a Macbook Air 13.3" mid-2012 and have an iPhone 6, iPad Mini 2 both with iOS 8. Both would not receive updated/new Reminders from my Macbook. I already tried turning off iCloud and back on, unchecking Reminders and rechecking, restarting devices on all three devices I have.
    It worked fine before I updated to iOS 8 or Yosemite.

    I just spent an hour trying to figure out why my iPhone had stopped syncing to my Mac or to iCloud. (Mac and iCloud were syncing fine with each other.) The fix suggested by piperskow above would work, but only once — I had to repeat it every time I needed a sync.
    Next I tried all the steps in this (outdated) Apple support document. None worked.
    Finally on the iPhone I went to Settings > iCloud and turned off Reminders (which Apple suggested in the support doc). Then I had it delete all the reminders on my iPhone (which Apple did not suggest). I waited a couple of minutes, per instructions, turned Reminders back on, and it's been working smoothly ever since.
    YMMV!
