Sync Reminders from OS X is iOS?

The "Reminders" app in Mountain Lion doesn't appear to have a way to sync with the corresponding app in iOS. It appears you can import, export, email and share Reminders, but I'd prefer to sync reminders as I do with Calendars, Contacts, etc. It seems odd that this functionality doesn't appear to be part of the latest version of iTunes. If this isn't possble, does anyone know if it's scheduled for future development?

Thanks,

-Brad.

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Hi,

Have you checked both the OS X System Preferenced/iCloud settings and the iOS Settings/iCloud settings?

Regards,

Bud

This works fine for me with 10.8 and iOS 6. It has always worked. Are you on the right versions? Do you have iCloud set up on each?

Thanks! I didn't have it enabled on the iPhone. I was using iTunes to to sync Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks and such. I guess I'll break down and start using iCloud syncing and make things easier.

For whatever reason, "Reminders" doesn't show up in the iCoud list on the iMac, but enabling it on the iPhone did the trick.

Thanks,

What we have here.... is a failure to overcome selective perception.

Thanks!

You are welcome. For my own information and learning, did that fix the problem? Gee, I've never done selective perception. 😁😁

Eric,

I think what actually enabled Reminders syncing was when I turned it on in the iPhone as suggested by an earlier post. This was already enabled on the iMac, but I thought it only applied to the Calendars due to the icon in the iCloud System Preference - I totatally didn't bother to read the full description that says "Calendar and Reminders" - I just "perceived" Calendar. Nevertheless, this has all helped me make sense of the settings and my reminders are now syncing away and nagging me with hardly any effort on my part! Thanks again!
