Drag and drop Reminders ti iCal calendar

I can no longer drag and drop Reminders ti iCal calendar.


The new system to way too slow and labour intensive to use in meetings.

We put all the items to do and handle into the Reminders list and then drag the ones that need scheduling into the iCal calendar.


Does anyone know how to fix this or is it no longer doable?


Thanks for considering



iMac 27", macOS 10.15

Hello Susie G,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're having trouble with Reminders on your Mac. I'd be happy to provide information that may help.


Instead of dragging and dropping the reminder, try using the "Add Date" box to add a date to the reminder.


You may find this article helpful: Add, change, group, or delete reminder lists on Mac.


Take care.

Thanks Allen A,

Good of you to reply.


I think you're suggesting to add a reminder via the info box - is that correct?

If so, it's incredibly slow and doesn't result in a visual calendar display of the works to be done - so we have to do the calendar separately and then it has no notes in it? We can no longer click on an Event to see the notes we generated.


Am I correct in thinking that the drag and drop feature no longer exists? It dragged in the Reminder as an Event with notes etc so that we can schedule and see our week at a glance in colours eg Green for Billable Hours, Orange for Unbillable, Blue for Prospective Business etc. We would make a Reminder list of all the actions to do from a Client briefing and then drag the actions into the Calendar. I thought everyone worked like this. If this is no longer doable - do you know how to make a suggestion that this is re-instated?


And what is the point of Reminders if you can't schedule the actions? Surely it's just a list, the same as Notes? When Reminders were brought out our excited trainer showed me that with Apple you can make client lists of all the upcoming actions and then just drag and drop them into the calendar.


Is there a work around without having to use the dreaded Outlook?


Forgive the rant - maybe you would know who to suggest this to?


Thanks,

Susie G
