Reminders not syncing in the cloud

I've got the same problem. Would love to get some feedback.

Same here, only not syncing from iPad to iPhone.

You have to put the reminders in your iCloud Reminder list not just the reminders on my phone. Just click on your reminder then edit it and change the list.

I thought reminders synced all lists not just to dos in a particular list. Sort of defeats the purpose if you can't organize lists and sync them across devices.

But it gives you the option to sync the reminders across all devices or just keeping it on one device. Kinda nice if you have a reminder you only ant on your phone and not every where else for what ever reason.

Make sure that you are signed into iCloud on both devices. Go to Settings/iCloud and and make sure the account is the same and then that reminders are turned on.

Thanks all. ... Started to play after your comment and found it will sync the list names. Had to create the additional reminder groups on my iMac through iCal and it all started to sync across multiple devices. Just have to make sure the groups are created under iCloud vs my Mac (local). All is good now :-)

I just received my iPhone 4S and have set up my iCloud mail on it. I am able to create reminders that appear in a list titled "Home". I have a calendar in iCal that corresponds (at least to the best of my knowledge) to "Home". When I choose "Get Info" about that calendar, it clearly shows it as an iCloud calendar named "Home". Yet my reiminders just appear on the iPhone. Any thoughts?
Thanks

If you enter a reminder on your iPhone under the home list does it show in your iCal? What I found is that it seems to distinguish between icoud list and those that are only local. If you enter items under the local list they don't sync but if you do it to an iCloud list it. Works. I tried creating a new iCloud list on iCal first by selecting File, new reminders list, then iCloud. It should immediately sync. If not check to make sure the same icoud account is set up on both your Mac and iPhone.

Doh! That worked. Didn't realise there were local lists.

thanks for the clarification tklmom. I didn't see the different between the iPad Reminders section and the iCloud Reminders. I selected Reminders under iCloud, entered my reminder, then saw it within a minute or so!

So now for those of us who had them on local iphone, is there a way to "move" them over or do we have to retype them? I opened a reminder item that was tagged local and tried to click on the icloud icon but did not change anything.

Thanks

Tap on your item, then on "Show more..". You will then be given the option of selecting which list you would like the item to belong to. No retyping required.

I have the same problem, but the solution still evades me. I can create and sync iCloud reminders between my iPhone and the cloud, but I don't have an option on my desktop iCal (where all my current reminders are) to enter a new iCloud Reminder. When I edit an existing one or create a new one, my only choices are "home" and "work" and "Gmail calendar." The calendars themselves all sync just fine, though, so I can see all my events, but not the reminders. Help?

Responding to an old thread, but just now attacking this problem.

What if I have 10 items on my list and I want to move the whole list to iCloud? I'd have to first create a list there, then move every item to it. As I recently bought an iPad, I'd like to move all my phone-only lists to the Cloud, but this is more daunting than it should be.
