All my reminders have disappeared - how can I retrieve them?

I lost all my reminders in the last iPhone update July 2017. All my mileage was stored in there for five months. Then I go to find out that you can only retrieve the past 30 days. In the past I've lost my contacts. I'm to a point where I don't want to download the upgrade anymore. As tech savvy as iPhone is you think they'd get this figured out.

I just lost all of my 65 reminderd and all my info on each of the 6 lists I had. I had added a couple items to a list and all was fine. Then boom 💥 everything is just zeroed out. This just happened this am and I had changed nothing except adding those items to a list. Anyone else's magically disappear this morning 12/3/17 app 10 am or so? I use my gmail for my iCloud account. Always have. Nothing changed. That was literally yeats worth of reminders following me thru new phones.

HELP!!!! They are gone off iPad too. Seems iCloud zeroed out and synced to devices as all zeroed. Again. Please HELP if you can.

Are you 100% sure the reminders were in the icloud section? Were you previously able to see them at icloud.com?

Do you have a backup?

SEveral times om my iPhone 4G(or is it 4S), and ever since updating to IOS 7.0.3, my reminders have periodically disappeared. Nothing I've researched on the support forums solves my problem. It's odd because sometimes the reminders are there and other times it'll tell me that I don't have any! That's bologna! Background refresh is turned off, iCloud account, yahoo, and gmail accounts all have reminders activated.

IM open pen to suggestion. I'd like a permanent solution to this rediculous problem.

My reminders dissapeared for no reason last night. I was using them earlier in the day and they all were gone in the evening. I have an iPad and iMac and they both show all of the reminders (luckily because I have many!)

I too have not found a fix for this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Yes, I solved my own reminders from disappearing totally. Here's what worked for me...

[i use an iPhone 4G]

(1) open reminders from you app on your iPhone. Most likely you'll see the word REMINDERS and nothing in your list.

(2) click the "+" sign at the top right.

(3) give your new fake list a name (like TEST 1).

(4) make another fake list name (like TEST2).

(5) all of a sudden a list of all the reminder lists will appear.

(6) scroll through you list of 3 or 4 lists of reminders and open the one with YOUR NAME....example: "john_Doe" and your reminders will be there.

THIS WORKS FOR previously named lists of reminders as well.

Let me know if this helps you.

Resetting the sync settings (switched from sync 1 month to sync all) for Reminders and turning the Reminders icloud sync on & off restored mine. I also noticed beforehand, that all my lists were there and everything was in the "completed" list, which I usually keep hidden. No idea why they were all marked as completed, but they were there.

LSHAW3457 This absolutely worked!!! THANK YOU!!!!

I have the same problem and tried doing what you suggested but it won't let me add a reminder. The option is grayed out??

If you have a list titled "Reminder" just add to that list. If not, is there a + sign anywhere to add anything be it a list or an item as part of a list?

Same thing for me - It won't let me add a list at all, and there is no reminders list to add to. There is just nothing.

I also tried changing the sync setting to 6 months, and also turning iCloud reminders off, then back on.

Nothing seems to be working...

When you go into the iCloud settings and turn reminders on then exit and go back in is it off again?

If so, make sure to turn the Calender on with Reminders.

My reminders totally disappeared on my iPhone 4s a few weeks ago. I couldn't create any new reminders, but today I decided to turn the Calendar on with Reminders as well and this made everything work again.

While this makes no sense to me, it actually worked. The + sign recommendation above did not work for me but turning off calendar and then back on, did.

This worked for me. Thank you!
