"Scheduled Reminders" Not Appearing In My Calendar List on Mac

I am trying to view scheduled reminders on Calendar on my MacBook Pro. "Scheduled Reminders" does not appear on my Calendar List like all the tutorials say it should. I have gone through Calendar Preferences and System Preferences and I cannot find anywhere where this would be disabled. I am running Big Sur version 11.7.10 on a 13-inch MacBook Pro from 2020, which I've found is supposed to support Reminders in Calendar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.7

Hey! It looks like you're having trouble seeing your "Scheduled Reminders" in the Calendar app. Let's try these steps:

  1. Check Reminders Settings:
    • Open Reminders app and make sure your reminders are set to appear in Calendar.
  1. Check Calendar Preferences:
    • Go to Calendar > Preferences > Accounts.
    • Make sure your iCloud account is listed and connected.
  1. Enable "Show Reminders" in Calendar:
    • Open the Calendar app.
    • On the left side, make sure you see all calendars, including Reminders. If you don't, click on View > Show Calendar List.
  1. Update macOS:
    • Go to System Preferences > Software Update to check if there’s a newer update that might fix this.

If this still doesn’t work, try restarting your Mac, and check again. Hopefully, it shows up for you!

Hi,

If you can't find the option to enable "Scheduled Reminders" in Calendar, here's a detailed way to ensure things are set up correctly:

  1. Enable Reminders Sync in iCloud:
    • Go to System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud.
    • Make sure Reminders is checked.
  1. Check Calendar Preferences:
    • Open the Calendar app.
    • Go to Calendar > Preferences > Accounts.
    • Ensure your iCloud account is listed and active. If not, add it and ensure Reminders are synced.
  1. Show Calendar List:
    • In the Calendar app, click View > Show Calendar List.
    • Check if there’s a section for Reminders. If not, it might indicate syncing is incomplete.
  1. Rebuild Calendar Data:
    • Quit Calendar.
    • Go to Finder > Go > Go to Folder, type: ~/Library/Calendars.
    • Move the contents to a backup folder and restart Calendar.
  1. Update Reminder Lists:
    • Open the Reminders app.
    • Right-click any list, select Info, and ensure Assign to Calendar is enabled.

If you’ve tried these steps and it’s still not showing, the issue might be related to macOS 11.7 limitations. Let me know if that’s the case, and we’ll explore further options! 😊
