How do I share a Reminders list?

Been using shared reminders since iOS 5 came out. Went to go make a new list today and saw that the functionality was removed from both mountain lion and icloud.com. I hope that MightyMac is right and this will be restored in a few days. Otherwise, we all need to contact apple until it is restored because I rely on using it with my wife and my secretary.

Spent an hour on the phone with Apple yesterday where the "Senior" technician assured me that it was something I was doing wrong; but failed to figure it out himself... I really hope this issue gets resolved this week.

BalckiPad, no need to buy a new computer and forget the Reminders app. Someone in this list suggested to me to switch to Wunderlist and I did. Its even better looking and has a better functionlity (sharing accross different plattforms, cloud synch, beautifully looking web site, Windows program etc etc. - all free).

A more complicated app is Ilium's ListPro that can generate sub-lists and has more of a functionality of lists in form of databases.

So, forget Apple's Reminders.

you can do it from OSX through the iCal app.

Just start iCal, if not visible open the Reminders windows pane, click on the lists and you will see that each icloud list has a ' broadcast' icon. the rest should be no problem.

this is no longer the case.. there are no longer reminders in the iCal app.

Hoefnix,

thanks for your tip. our concerns surround the lack of sharing in iCal 6.0, bundled with Mountain Lion and iOS6.

thankfully, as reported above 10.8.2 DOES have sharing from within the reminders app.

This is outrageous!

Despite the fact that you cannot even d/l compatible versions of some software but have ot update to iOS 6 first, I cannot for example d/l iMovie to 5.1.1 on a brand new iPhone 4S, this withdrawal of a very useful function is getting sigificant for apple - to push the users in to new releases. iOS 6 offers me nothing new that I find useful, except that it cuts me out from certain SW updates. That they cut off functions without warning is just silly. They are getting too confident in my mind.

Well at least I have been able to recover the functionality with the ML and iOS upgrades. I see the sharing is now done from within the Reminders app on ML. Since the reminders app on iCloud is also new, I wonder if Apple intends to add it there as well and the feature was delayed in their rollout of all the latest changes?

Eventhough funcionality has been returned in 10.8.2., I sent feedback to Apple and agree that everyone that visits this thread should do so as well. Siri integration and shared lists are killer features that I cannot do without now, and I have retired all my other todo apps as a result. Reminders has a lot of room to grow and I hate seeing it get stripped down and lose functionality. Hopefully it is just an oversight by Apple and will be updated soon. iOS 6 allows you to share Calendars and Reminders should have gotten the same treatment.

So how do you share a reminder list in 10.8.2? I don't see it.

Therefore somebody at Apple decided it was too confusing to show reminders in Calendars on icloud.com and that nobody should be able to share reminder lists. This is just a very stupid way to think. Too focused on how something looks than it's actual functionality. Once you've exposed functionality live with the consequences of your decision don't take something away just because you don't like the way it looks.

The way my wife and I created a shared list was rather simple.

We opened up the Reminder app on our computer, created a reminder, then moused over the right hand side of the newly created reminder. This brings up a hidden icon that looks like a little broadcast symbol. Click on it, then add the iCloud email of the person with whom you want to share the list.

Once they accept the invitation sent to thier email, you have created the list.

This is really unfortunate for those folks that don't have a machine running 10.8.2. Seems like a huge oversight by Apple.

A great app is 2do. It have calender and places notifications among many other things. Negatives are that it can seem a bit complicated (at first at lest), pricey, and you cannot share notes easily.

Another thing you can do is use Siri to add to it!

Apple... seriously. We get it. Siri and the dictation function is good- that makes reminders quite useful. We are so proud to be apple users, and love Siri. However, separating reminders from ical is like taking spell check out of word processing. Yes, i can look at a dictionary. Yes, i could even go to another application and search for the word. But integration is also good when the feature is so integral to planning. Also, the sharing feature on the remnders was a nice touch. I was sharing reminders with my wife, and a co-worker.

Now, reminders is frustrating.

I is insane that every fruit and can a green beens that my wife checks off the list triggers an email. I had 25 emails "ketchup", "bread" etc. this afternoon. I talked to support to no avail. They suggested I turn off notifications entirely for Reminders. Sounds like a Microsoft solution.

I have an idea I might try. If you look at the sender of the email it is noreply@icloud.com. So if I am going to try and create a filter to dump all emails from that adress in the trash. I will post my findings.
