Reminders not Syncing from Mac

Same problem here. Reminders syncs across all devices and the iCloud web app, but not desktop. Desktop gets the latest but can't push any changes you make on it. Problem just showed up one day and never went away. I was hoping installing the latest OS (Sonoma) would fix it but no such luck. It's been over a year now...

Same here. It is bothersome to keep turning off and on reminders in icloud to keep app updated. I bought a Mac to have complete integration with my ios devices. Please fix this.

I HAD SAME ISSUE AND DISCOVERED IT WAS BECAUSE WHEN I SET A NEW REMINDER ON MY IPHONE, THE DEFAULT LIST ON MY PHONE SETTINGS WAS 'LOCAL' REMINDERS RATHER THAN AN 'ICLOUD' REMINDERS LIST. HOPE THAT HELPS?

Having the same problem here.

I have:

1. Checked software updates, my iPhone is running latest software and my 2020 MacBook is as well
2. Turned iCloud on and off again for Reminders on both the MacBook and the iPhone
3. Created new items on my iPhone, hoping it will push to the MacBook
4. Created new items on the MacBook, hoping it will push to the iPhone
5. Completed new items on my iPhone, hoping it will push to the MacBook
6. Completed new items on the MacBook, hoping it will push to the iPhone

None of this works! It's infuriating.

This is not complicated software, and shouldn't be such a freaking problem.

Apple has gone WAY downhill.

Actually I was just able to fix this. From everything I was reading it seemed that some sort of corrupted reminder was likely causing the issue so I went into my desktop reminders app and deleted a bunch of lists and reminders, including a few daily recurring ones. Suddenly it started syncing!

I suggest going in and cleaning house on your Reminders to see if you can delete the culprit.

I have the same problem with Reminders. It's been ongoing

I am facing the same issue here since a long time ago.

Hey Willssr,

If your Reminders don't sync as expected, the following steps may help.

"Things to check first

1. Check the system status of iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders for services outages or connection issues.
2. If a reminder isn't showing up on some of your devices, make sure that your iPhone and iPad have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, or that your Mac has the latest version of macOS.
3. Make sure that you're signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all of your devices. Then, check that you turned on Contacts, Calendars, and Reminders in your iCloud settings.
4. Check that the date and time settings on your device are correct for your current location. " If your iCloud Contacts, Calendars, or Reminders won’t sync

Sincerely.

I had the same problem as many of you: reminders created on my MacBook weren't syncing with my phone app, and none of the suggested solutions online were helpful. Then I realized that my iCloud storage was full! As soon as I deleted some unnecessary files to free up space, it synced within a couple of minutes.

For those who still have this problem, I highly suggest having at least 2GB of free space on your iCloud for smooth syncing between devices. Thanks 🙂

Take care.

I went thru a load of stuff before the culprit was found. My iCloud store was nearly full. Had to upgrade to get it to work. Space needed in iCloud for some reason.

Hope this helps

WORKED!! I just updated my MacBook Air Early 2015 to Monterey 12.7.4 and iPhone 15Pro to IOS 17.4.1. I also turned off Reminders in iCloud on my MacBook only and back on and everything now syncs. It took a few minutes because I was going to reply that it didn't work but it ended up working. I've tried several test; adding reminders on my MacBook and then when they appear on my iPhone, deleting them and also resorting the different reminders list and everything seems to be syncing up fine now. Thanks for the suggestions from others!
