Since upgrading to Mavericks, not only did i loose some reminders, but I can't set repeat on my reminders.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
I have exactly the same problem. The 'repeat' option is gray and there is no way to edit it. I hope Apple can fix this.
Hi ctojaga
In fact it's there:
1° create your reminder as usual
2° go to the reminder section and there you can select a "repeating reminder"
Hope this helps solve your problem.

The option is there - you just can't use it. It was fine before Mavericks. Now it does not work.
This works for the 'Reminders' under 'On My Mac' category. But it doesn't work for 'Tasks' under 'Exchange' category if one uses Exchange account for reminders/tasks.
It doesn't work anywhere on my mac.
No fix yet. All my previous reminders now useless. No option anymore to repeat?
No fix yet. I'm limping by waiting.
I was reading solutions for Mountain Lion on this matter and I am trying one of those ideas, which was to simply copy a reminder that has the function available from before the upgrade and then overwrite the information I want as a "new" reminder. I wanted the "repeat" option, which I think only appears on the old reminders that have the "due date" option. Anyway, I tried it, and it works to get the "old reminders" back that have the "due date" and "repeat" option. WHAT A HASSLE! Note: I did start out with Lion in 2011, so apparently that's why I have the reminders that have both functions. I am irratated that I can't choose the "repeat" option like "every first Thurs. etc. that I had on my original "tasks" way back when. Grrrrrrrr!
I have been using this work around for a while. The problems of dates changing is still a major issue. I am hoping for a fix soon.
Remember to click the check box "On a date" first.
After that the repeat option will appear.
I know. But when I do that, the repeat option is there, but it is gray and there is no way to use it. See above...ChangZi and I are both having this issue.
I discovered the same issue as changzhi. The repeat function works for iCloud based tasks, but not for Exchange based ones.
I agree with Chagzi and Personalnadir - thanks! "Repeat" works in "Reminders" but not in "Tasks".
Since upgrading to Mavericks, I can't set repeating reminders.
