Calendars appear as empty Reminder lists?!

Dear Apple Support Community!

Occasionally my Calendars appear as a new list within my Reminders app. This never happen before. (Before I bought the iPhone 5s updated to iOS 7.0.3! With my iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.3, it never happened!)

Yesterday the Reminders app showed me my main Calendar "Private" as a new empty Reminder list. I deleted it, because I thought it made a failed syncing of my main Reminders list, also named "Private". After that, I realized that I deleted my main Calendar "Private". 😮 Luckily I made a physical backup on my Mac of the Calendar "Private".

Today the Reminders app showed me again all my different Calendars as new empty Reminder lists. Strangely enough they disappeared after a while. (Without deleting my different Calendars!)

As the iCloud System Status page is not showing any know issues, I suppose that it’s a new iOS 7.0.3 bug.

I’ll feedback this to Apple, but nevertheless I hope that other users may have found a solution for this annoying and dangerous bug.

Yours sincerely,

Marc

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.3, 32 GB (Space Gray)

Actually I have the exact same problem - and also made the mistake of deleting the reminders list. It too deleted my whole calendar of the same name.

Are you using Busycal by any chance? I do, and I'm wondering if that is a factor.

Cheers,

Greg

I had exactly the same problem! Talk one hour with the apple support that was telling me this is not possible and that reminder lists have nothing to do with calendars and that I have propably deleted the calendar somewehere else! So very happy to see that I am not alone on this one.

I had also an iCal archiv backup. But when I imported the archiv back to iCal on my MacBook the calendar that I deleted would appear only on my machine but won't sync to iCloud and my other devices even if listed under the iCloud calendars and after trying to restart all the iCloud services with logout / login.

Same thing has happened to me. A shared calendar suddenly appeared as a new reminders list. I deleted it and lost the entire calendar with it. BUG!!!!

I had the same problem on iPad2 with iOS 8.4.

A shared reminders list appeared as a shared calendar and a shared calendar appeared as an empty reminders list..

I solved by disabling Calendars and Reminders in Settings->iCloud, rebooting the iPad and reactivating the Calendars and Reminders switches.

I hope it's helpful.

This is definitively a bug. I have this issue since 3 years now. The apple support team worked on this using my apple ID for some months beginning of the year but could not find out why this problem occurs. From time to time an empty reminder appears in my calendar list or vice versa a calendar appears in my reminder list. I just let it there and after a while it is gone.
