    I was already setup the way you described, however none of my reminders are showing up on my Mac. I see my reminders on my iPhone, iPad, and on my acc’t at iCloud.com. The reminders on the Mac seems to be ignoring all the other devices. I’ve checked on other sites (including Apple forums) and they all seem to say the same thing. Do you have any other suggestions?
