Displaying due iOS reminder on PC?

Terry, East Grinstead, UK What calendaring system are you using to share between the different devices? I use Google calendars and am able to get notifications across many devices, although not tried windows 10 yet. Apple's iCloud Calendar and iCloud Reminder apps installed on all. Ok. So the settings you showed elsethread are windows' own calendaring systems. They won't change anything, as you're finding out. You need to check the settings for icloud on your windows machine. I don't use icloud so can't help on the specifics I'm afraid. Thanks, that explains my confusion. Still hoping to hear from someone who has it up and working. Terry, East Grinstead, UK Hi Terry, Just tested a calendar event created with Fantastical 2 on my iPhone. Asked for a 5 minute before the event reminder. This did indeed pop up as desired on Windows. Check those settings I mention. Works fine over here. Hi Peter, Thanks for those three replies, pleased to have you on the case! However, I'm not really clear I understand some of your questions. "I use iCloud and have Windows 10 synced with my iCloud account as well. I didn’t notice about the past due popup as most of the time I use a MacBook. I get past due popups on my Mac all the time." So you're using a Windows PC and a Mac? I would expect no problems using iCloud entirely on Apple computers. I guess we need to confine the discussion to your experience on your Win 10 PC. I use both a Windows 10 PC and a MacBook. I have an iPad Pro and an iPhone 7 Plus. On that iPhone and on the Mac I used Fantastical 2 which interfaces with Apple's Calendar and Reminders. If I create a calendar event and I ask that event to popup a message 5 minutes before the event it will do so on my Windows 10 PC as well as my Mac. What's running on the Windows 10 PC? I am using the built in Mail app that came with Windows 10. I am not using Outlook. There are settings you should check in two places: 1. All Settings System Notifications & Actions: In there you will see a heading labeled as follows: Get Notifications from these senders. There will be a lot of these. Look for Calendar and make sure it is set to ON. 2. Open your calendar and select: Settings Manage Accounts iCloud Options for Syncing your content. And make sure you have a schedule set to sync your calendar. I use every 15 minutes. -------------------- "You setup a one-time iCloud password for use in Windows 10 for your email account, which should setup the calendar on Windows 10." But as mentioned up-thread, I don't use Outlook or other calendars. (My email and newsgroup reader is Forte's Agent.) But I do *have* Outlook and GMail accounts, set up years ago. So if it's a possible way to solve my problem I would willingly experiment with my Outlook account, even though I never use it to receive or send email. You need to setup the Windows 10 calendar with iCloud so that the iCloud events and such will be feed into Windows 10. Here is how to do that: 1. Go to iCloud.com 2. Log in, which might require 2-factor authentication 3. Choose the Settings icon 4. Select Manage ID 5. Select Generate App-Specific Passwords. 6. Fill in a reminder name, like "My Windows PC" A password will be created. Copy that password. 7. In windows 10, go to the mail app. 8. Choose Accounts Manage Accounts Add Account 9. Choose iCloud 10. Type in your name, your iCloud email address and then paste in that app-specific password you created in step 6. This will create an email / calendar / contacts sync between iCloud on Windows 10 without needing Outlook. Could you step me through exactly what you did to create this 'one-time iCloud password' please. Why would that not affect my *existing* iCloud password (my 'Apple' password)? -------------------- See above. "Are you on the latest Windows 10 which I think is now 1803?" Yes, I updated yesterday to 1803 (17134.48) Perfect! -------------------- "Do you get the Windows 10 notifications from Calendar on other calendar’s, like from Outlook.com?" I have not tried that. I just use iCloud if I am going to use the web, since iCloud is my mail. I don't use any other calendars. I'm confused enough with *one*! Yeah I hear ya. I ended up using iCloud as my Calendar, Notes, Contacts, etc because I mostly use the Mac. I use both but if I had to pick ONE computer it would be the Mac.

Terry, East Grinstead, UK https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...4-7c195f5594b8 "Trekkie (below) was correct - if you have two-factor authentication active on your iCloud account, that's what's stopping you from successfully syncing your iCloud with your People/Calendar/Mail in Windows 10. Since Windows doesn't prompt for the Apple 4 digit one-time code, you need to login to your Apple account at https://appleid.apple.com then click on "Manage your Apple ID". Then go to "Password and Security" and scroll down until you see "Generate an app-specific password". Click on that, and enter the details (I called mine "Windows 10"). Click on "Generate". Delete any iCloud accounts you have on Windows 10 (they don't work anyway, right?). Set up a new iCloud account, but this time, use the password you just generated. Should work like a charm. Good luck! " "Have to remove 2 factor authentication to continue to see iCloud services on windows phone. the phone keeps asking for password but doesnt enable the account for email, contacts or calender. Back to 1 point authentication fixed it after 3 hrs wasted time. " I'm not sure what that all means (what the history of the topic is), but it smacks of purposeful brokenness. Shirely the code can detect the difference between the two methods, even if it chooses not to use one of the methods out of spite. Paul |

Much appreciate your patient help! Hi Terry, Okay you missed the part where I gave instructions for creating an app-specific password. That's the problem you have. You can't enter your Apple ID password. Let me repeat that. You CANNOT enter your Apple ID password. That's not the correct procedure. You have to create an app-specific passord. 1. Go to iCloud.com 2. Log in, which might require 2-factor authentication 3. Choose the Settings icon 4. Select Manage ID 5. Select Generate App-Specific Passwords. 6. Fill in a reminder name, like "My Windows PC" A password will be created. Copy that password. 7. In windows 10, go to the mail app. 8. Choose Accounts Manage Accounts Add Account 9. Choose iCloud 10. Type in your name, your iCloud email address and then paste in that app-specific password you created in step 6. Apple's security doesn't allow the use of your AppleID Password on non-apple hardware and software. To use Windows 10 mail, calendar, and contacts access you'll have to create a one-time app-specific password. Follow the steps above and fix that. You'll see this works after that. And make sure you have a schedule set to sync your calendar. I use every 15 minutes. -------------------- "You setup a one-time iCloud password for use in Windows 10 for your email account, which should setup the calendar on Windows 10." But as mentioned up-thread, I don't use Outlook or other calendars. (My email and newsgroup reader is Forte's Agent.) But I do *have* Outlook and GMail accounts, set up years ago.

This will create an email / calendar / contacts sync between iCloud on Windows 10 without needing Outlook. Could you step me through exactly what you did to create this 'one-time iCloud password' please. Why would that not affect my *existing* iCloud password (my 'Apple' password)? -------------------- See above. "Are you on the latest Windows 10 which I think is now 1803?" Yes, I updated yesterday to 1803 (17134.48) Perfect! -------------------- "Do you get the Windows 10 notifications from Calendar on other calendar’s, like from Outlook.com?" I have not tried that. I just use iCloud if I am going to use the web, since iCloud is my mail. I don't use any other calendars. I'm confused enough with *one*! Yeah I hear ya. I ended up using iCloud as my Calendar, Notes, Contacts, etc because I mostly use the Mac. I use both but if I had to pick ONE computer it would be the Mac. Terry, East Grinstead, UK https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...4-7c195f5594b8 "Trekkie (below) was correct - if you have two-factor authentication active on your iCloud account, that's what's stopping you from successfully syncing your iCloud with your People/Calendar/Mail in Windows 10. Since Windows doesn't prompt for the Apple 4 digit one-time code, you need to login to your Apple account at https://appleid.apple.com then click on "Manage your Apple ID". Thanks for the research, Paul. But the above step is as far as I get, as 1. I don't use two-factor authentication 2. I do not see "Password and Security" after using "Manage your Apple ID", as you see from this screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cbwsf345dq...count.jpg?dl=0 Then go to "Password and Security" and scroll down until you see "Generate an app-specific password". Click on that, and enter the details (I called mine "Windows 10"). Click on "Generate". Delete any iCloud accounts you have on Windows 10 (they don't work anyway, right?). My iCloud account works fine in all major respects apart from 1. Popping up that annoying and spurious message about my settings being out of date (and not fixing them with its provided link). 2. POSSIBLY preventing Calendar & Reminder alerts on my PC, as currently under discussion (and the reason for my original post). Terry, East Grinstead, UK Set up a new iCloud account, but this time, use the password you just generated. Should work like a charm. Good luck! " "Have to remove 2 factor authentication to continue to see iCloud services on windows phone. the phone keeps asking for password but doesnt enable the account for email, contacts or calender. Back to 1 point authentication fixed it after 3 hrs wasted time. " I'm not sure what that all means (what the history of the topic is), but it smacks of purposeful brokenness. Shirely the code can detect the difference between the two methods, even if it chooses not to use one of the methods out of spite. Paul |

Displaying due iOS reminder on PC?

But how do I get the alert message to pop up on my Win 10 PC when due please? After much research I?m frustrated that I?ve still not found a solution. Terry, East Grinstead, UK What calendaring system are you using to share between the different devices? I use Google calendars and am able to get notifications across many devices, although not tried windows 10 yet. Apple's iCloud Calendar and iCloud Reminder apps installed on all. Ok. So the settings you showed elsethread are windows' own calendaring systems. They won't change anything, as you're finding out. You need to check the settings for icloud on your windows machine. I don't use icloud so can't help on the specifics I'm afraid. Thanks, that explains my confusion. Still hoping to hear from someone who has it up and working. Terry, East Grinstead, UK Hi Terry, Just tested a calendar event created with Fantastical 2 on my iPhone. Asked for a 5 minute before the event reminder. This did indeed pop up as desired on Windows. Check those settings I mention. Works fine over here. Hi Peter, Thanks for those three replies, pleased to have you on the case! However, I'm not really clear I understand some of your questions. "I use iCloud and have Windows 10 synced with my iCloud account as well. I didn’t notice about the past due popup as most of the time I use a MacBook. I get past due popups on my Mac all the time." So you're using a Windows PC and a Mac? I would expect no problems using iCloud entirely on Apple computers. I guess we need to confine the discussion to your experience on your Win 10 PC. I use both a Windows 10 PC and a MacBook. I have an iPad Pro and an iPhone 7 Plus. On that iPhone and on the Mac I used Fantastical 2 which interfaces with Apple's Calendar and Reminders. If I create a calendar event and I ask that event to popup a message 5 minutes before the event it will do so on my Windows 10 PC as well as my Mac. What's running on the Windows 10 PC? I am using the built in Mail app that came with Windows 10. I am not using Outlook. There are settings you should check in two places: 1. All Settings System Notifications & Actions: In there you will see a heading labeled as follows: Get Notifications from these senders. There will be a lot of these. Look for Calendar and make sure it is set to ON. Yes. (That's Window's own 'Calendar', not Apple's 'Calendar'. I know that's what you mean from the subsequent context, but it's an ambiguity found throughout most of the stuff I've researched, and contributes to my confusion!) 2. Open your calendar and select: Settings Manage Accounts iCloud Options for Syncing your content. OK, this is clearly where the going gets hard. I've been through this area several times over recent weeks in an unsuccessful attempt to fix the annoying notification that pops up randomly saying 'Your iCloud settings are out of date'. Here's what I see after Settings Manage Accounts: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ickxdmw10n...dar-1.jpg?dl=0 Selecting iCloud gives two options: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r40nibs59a...Cloud.jpg?dl=0 Respective results for each of those: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5mm7o25sbn...unt-1.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/zrxln41nif...ngs-1.jpg?dl=0 So I'll pause here as I can't proceed confidently with your further instructions. Much appreciate your patient help! Hi Terry, Okay you missed the part where I gave instructions for creating an app-specific password. That's the problem you have. You can't enter your Apple ID password. Let me repeat that. You CANNOT enter your Apple ID password. That's not the correct procedure. You have to create an app-specific passord. 1. Go to iCloud.com 2. Log in, which might require 2-factor authentication 3. Choose the Settings icon 4. Select Manage ID 5. Select Generate App-Specific Passwords. Hi Peter, Thanks for staying the course so far! I cannot get beyond step 4 as I do not have any reference to 'Generate App-Specific Passwords' on the Manage ID page: I've included some annotated screenshots below in the hope that they provide further clues: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cbwsf345dq...count.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/ryl1amkvao...ces-1.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/sq6f3cc3r0...ces-2.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/apfmonop6y...dPage.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/l5xvag8wqe...erent.jpg?dl=0 Note also that I don't use 2-factor authentication.

In windows 10, go to the mail app. 8. Choose Accounts Manage Accounts Add Account 9. Choose iCloud 10. Type in your name, your iCloud email address and then paste in that app-specific password you created in step 6. Apple's security doesn't allow the use of your AppleID Password on non-apple hardware and software. But I can use my Apple pw on my PC. I had to do so several times when preparing those screenshots. For example: Tray icon Go to iCloud.com Settings (opened in Edge) Manage Click right arrow alongside my user name NOW HAVE TO ENTER PW. Terry, East Grinstead, UK ==================== To use Windows 10 mail, calendar, and contacts access you'll have to create a one-time app-specific password. Follow the steps above and fix that. You'll see this works after that. And make sure you have a schedule set to sync your calendar. I use every 15 minutes. -------------------- "You setup a one-time iCloud password for use in Windows 10 for your email account, which should setup the calendar on Windows 10." But as mentioned up-thread, I don't use Outlook or other calendars. (My email and newsgroup reader is Forte's Agent.) But I do *have* Outlook and GMail accounts, set up years ago. So if it's a possible way to solve my problem I would willingly experiment with my Outlook account, even though I never use it to receive or send email. You need to setup the Windows 10 calendar with iCloud so that the iCloud events and such will be feed into Windows 10. Here is how to do that: 1. Go to iCloud.com 2. Log in, which might require 2-factor authentication 3. Choose the Settings icon 4. Select Manage ID 5. Select Generate App-Specific Passwords. 6. Fill in a reminder name, like "My Windows PC" A password will be created. Copy that password. 7. In windows 10, go to the mail app. 8. Choose Accounts Manage Accounts Add Account 9. Choose iCloud 10. Type in your name, your iCloud email address and then paste in that app-specific password you created in step 6.

Terry, East Grinstead, UK You could try activating the two-factor authentication. I’d bet the steps I outlined would then work for you. You can also call Apple. I called them once when I could not figure out why my iPad stopped getting SMS text messages. Couldn’t find that answer anywhere just like you. Now I get it, but I’d have never figured it out on my own. The answer to that is on the iPhone, not the iPad. The support guy wouldn’t give up. We talked for about an hour before running into the solution. The answer is out there somewhere. I’d bet you simply have to have the two-factor because Apple might not otherwise allow it. The trick is knowing how to ask the question. I hate how hidden it. Try unsubscribing to an app on your iPhone. It’s insanely hidden how to do this. Once you’re paying for something they want you to keep paying. Even now I sometimes get lost looking for the subscriptions and I basically know where to look. Some things are not part of the intuitive plan it seems. I don’t remember how I turned on two-factor. You could call, with my steps in hand and ask why that doesn’t apply to you. Ask why you don’t have the same settings I have and if those are needed for using Windows 10 mail. It prior versions of Windows this didn’t work at all. Once it works it does integrate seamlessly with Windows 10. I have my contacts, calendars, and email. The email doesn’t take advantage of Active Sync though. You have to set it up to cycle every xx minutes. Outlook can be set to catch email as they arrive. -- Peter Kozlov |
