Mountain Lion not syncing reminders or messages from iPhone.

Any one else having this problem? All the reminders that have shown up on my Macbook are all months old. Nothing is syncing....

Messages isn't syncing either.


All settings are turned on under iCloud on my phone.


please help?

I had the same issue with the Reminders app on my Mac, it was the only one that was not syncing... until i discovered that it was actuallt my fault.. lol


Here was my problem:
In my iPhone "settings" -> "mails,contatcs, calendar" i had one my eMail accounts to use "reminders" when i should not.. removed it and set ONLY my icloud account to use it, and that solve it. All my reminders now appear on my other iDevices.

Thanks very helpful!


To complement:


One scenario to add which worked for me: Go to icloud on the iphone settings and turn synch OFF and back ON. This did the trick for me, although turning off the iPhone was not enough. Also did not turn off calendar and reminder on the mac as it seemed to be a major one (ie deleting all content on the mac).
