Reminders and notification center messed up

Strange thing: Just recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and the first few days the Notification Center showed my upcoming Reminders very well. But on starting up my MBPro today, the NC is showing only one task, and that from OmniFocus! My Reminder tasks do not show up at all! I went into OmniFocus and deleted all my tasks [since I'm now using Reminders all the time, I needed to do that anyway] and deleted the old OF sync calendar in Calendar [since OF doesn't support syncing to Calendar anymore]. BTW- OF is not available in the NC preferences, so that is not the problem.

My iPad and iPod are showing the tasks in Reminder as they should be. It is just that NC in Mountain Lion that is messed up.

Any suggestions as to what may be happening? Any ideas how to rectify the situation?

MacBook Pro (17-inch Early 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.3), 2.66 Ghz, 8G Ram

I think I can see why. Even though in settings it says "show recent 5 items" etc... It will actually only list reminders with alerts set for the current date.

If your reminder has no alert set, it will not show in notification center. Shame.

Same with calendar, it will only show events scheduled for the current date, not tomorrow etc...

Right, but that isn't my issue. I've got an Omni Focus task in reminders, which is odd because I no longer use Omni Focus and OF isn't even listed in the Notifications preferences!

I've had some problems with Notifications and Reminders. iphone4 and MacBook running Mountain Lion.

I sent a test from my phone, it shows up in Reminders on my mac, however not in Notificatons on my Mac.

I sent tests back and forth and found that Reminders were not showing up in Notifications on my Mac.

My solution:

Sign out of iCloud on your Mac, delete everything when prompted. Don't worry, it's all stored in the cloud so you'll get it all back.

Then, delete your account on you iOS device. Turn off your iPhone/iPad.

Then, turn on you iOS device and sign in to iCloud.

Then, sign in to iCloud on you Mac.

Everything shoud work.

Let me know if this works for anyone?

Hello,

Not quite sure I understand your question, reminders should not show up in Notification Center unless they have a "remind me" time set. Notifications should not appear if you are simply creating a reminder.

Seems we're talking about different things. My main concern was that OmniFocus reminders were showing up in the notification center even though I removed all tasks in OmniFocus and in fact had not used it for some time. That issue has resolved itself. Others may want to start a new discussion based on their particular issue.
