whereas the sync of reminders between my iPhone 11 (with iOS 15.1) and my iPad mini (with iPadOS 15.1) work quite well, so it doesn't sync with my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012 with macOS Catalina 10.15.7).
I followed already the instructions as described in https://support.apple.com/de-at/HT203521 but without success.
Any help most welcome

Have to tried in System Preferences >> Internet Accounts >> iCloud and wishing there - disable Reminders. Restart the computer and reverse the previous steps - this is an attempt to force Sync to do that.
Should above not work try signing out of iCloud completely. Again, restart computer and Reverse above actions by signing back into iCloud. Same attempt to force the syncing process.

Just reading another question on Wifi issue and interference from other Wifi access point is the area. Have a look at @ BobHarris
posting and see if anything there applies to your situation
... sorry to come back again, but the solution worked only for one day and since yesterday it is as before.
The only way for the moment is to force the sync by switching off and on the Reminder-App in System Preferences > Apple-ID (iCloud).
Hmmm?
Sorry the issue has returned.
Honestly, have seen this issue appear but with Older Versions of macOS syncing to newer versions of macOS but never seen from iDevices with newest iOS versions to older versions of macOS.
Do not know of a permanent solution - yet.
If a solution is found - will keep your posting in mind and post back.
Many thanks.
I've again tried and now it seems, that sometimes it works ok and sometimes not.
I tried also to differentiate between iPhone and iPad and new entries or changes (eg date or time) - but there is no difference.
I'll continue to find out any possible reason why it sometimes work and sometimes not and will come back in a few days.

Hi again,
after several attempts and tests during the last days trying to find out a pattern i give up for the moment.
There is no pattern when it works and when not.
On iPhone and iPad it works fine, but on MacBook it works sometimes and sometimes not.
Please keep me informed once you find out a solution.
Thanks & BR Gerhard
Actually not other than the Catalina and iOS 15 not working well with each other.
I do remember when running an older version of macOS on Old Mac mini circa 2011 with High Sierra and older iMac circa 2012 with Catalina - the Reminder sync between the two just never worked.
Thank You for your answer and repeatetly answers and attempts to help me although the bad expectation to get the problem not solved.
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year
Very best regards - Gerhard
Thank You for the prompt and helpful reply.
I followed your first advice and it seems to work.
Thanks again & very best regards - Gerhard
Welcome and Thank you too !
Do come back to the ASC Forums if / or when addition question arise.
After some new attempts I've a suspicion:
the reminders sync only when I'm working with the MacBook e.g. it's switched on but not when I leave and it's in stand-by-mode.
Thanks for the hint, but I'm sorry to say, that it does not apply to my situation.
Am beginning to believe, the issue is really Catalina macOS 10.15 is not playing well to Sync With iOS 15. This is only guess work thought.
... any new ideas or bug-fixes to expect?
Hoped the answers supplied were better but alas - they are what they are..
Very Best to you and family
