Was able to share this video into reminders. Great use when researching travel for a different city to add in sites to a reminder list to see or travel blogger videos
Talk about sticking around to the end. I have a daily reminder to complete a simple work related task. I then generate an email to finish this. Now I can add that step directly in reminders. Thanks Gary. Nice change of shirt as well
I never thougth that the reminder app is such a great app. Mostly I use the notes app for a lot of things, but the reminder app is for a lot things even better. Together they are a great team. Thank you Gary for this good info again.
Gary....Do you still recommend not turning off your computer overnight and putting it into sleep. I recall a year or two ago, that you mentioned while your computers in the sleep mode, Apple does certain updates, etc. Thank you.
Great video. I need to learn more about Reminders app. I usually rely on the Calendar App to set repeating reminders since it lets me sent notifications AND email reminders, and I set them to auto repeat, say monthly, or whenever. I did not rely on Reminders App for these since I don’t think you came set repeating reminders, and also have them send reminders as an email instead of a notification. Is it possible to get Reminders app to send email reminders and to have them repeat on a fixed schedule? Or is Calendar App the only option for that?
@ Thanks Gary. I was hoping that with the improvements being made to Reminders, Apple would finally add the ability to receive reminders via email in addition to just notifications, that frankly, are not that helpful since if you are busy doing something else when a reminder comes in, it will go away and it is easy yo forget the reminder. With an email notification, one can keep it in the inbox, or put it in a To Do list folder as a constant nag to do it. Am the only one that finds the Reminder app not very good at providing useful reminders?
It would be great if Apple could provide consistency for the share button across apps. Seems a no brainer to have the option in Mail etc. Thanks for the workarounds.
My new iPad Pro M4 keeps shutting off and I have to do a hard restart headed to the Apple genius bar and they just reloaded everything but it doesn’t seem to fix it. They did a diagnostic on it and they said everything is all right as far as the iPad itself, can you give me any insight on what might be happening?
Great tutorial, learned a lot as always. Thanks Gary. However I couldn't replicate the PDF link. Everything looked the same as yours with the file path but the link never worked. When I pressed it I got a blip sound indicating an error. Not sure if there is a setting somewhere that I have missed.
Gary, Another great video! 👏 I found it particularly helpful since I think most Apple sites don’t do a very good job about communicating about the Reminders app. You’re quite the exception. 😀 For example, my favorite new feature in iOS 17 was the groceries list in the Reminders app. I didn’t know anything about it until I saw an article on the Flipboard app about it. None of the usual sites I follow mentioned it. The groceries list is awesome since it has cut down my shopping time by 2/3 and I no longer buy duplicate items.
I like to use the copy link in the share icon in notes vs the contextual menu. For example if you copy some text in a note and right click to share, you cannot create a link to copy, BUT, if you use the share icon in the tool/menu bar then you have the option to copy a link to paste in to the url section of reminders, calendar app, etc. Unfortunately, there is no option to create this process and share to the calendar url unless you copy the link as outlined above. Also, how do you create the reminder from an email in iOS? You can drag the email, but it really doesn't create a link to the email, just the reminder text...
@ thank you for responding. After much manipulation and practice, dragging an email from the iOS mail app to the reminders, does in fact create a linked reminder.
Not sure what you mean. Handbrake would be one window and Finder would be another window. Maybe you mean Desktop space, not Window? So perhaps you have one of the two in Full Screen mode? Either way, you can still drag from one to the other. (Not sure what this has to do with the video here though).
I tried to add an URL to a file in my Documents folder and get a message that says Reminders doesn't have permission to open file. I tried different setting but can't bet it to work. The URL works fine from Spotlight Search. Any ideas?
I tried it with a pdf file in my local files folder (not iCloud) and got the same error message. The other problem I had was if a file path or file name had a space in it, the url was truncated at that point, so it did not work. Also a text file with no spaces worked just as you demonstrated using the 'share' button, but if there was a space in the file name it truncated also.

Never thought reminders can be so useful as shown here.

The Calendar app does that, not Reminders.

Another good video explaining some basic features of built-in Apple apps that have (at least to me) advanced aspects to them. Thanks Gary!
I think that I will be coming back to this video soon, oh maybe a reminder is now the time to make one
Gary you are amazing
Cool. Great workarounds.
Good info, thanks! You ALWAYS show me something I did not know before! 👍🏽😎

Sorry, impossible to troubleshoot something like that from afar. If it still isn't working ask Apple Support for a replacement.

Not sure. Have you tried different PDFs in different locations, like local vs iCloud Drive?
Great. Does share menu works in other browsers?
Try it in the browser you are using and see.

It should create a link to the email. Watch carefully in the video where I show you how.

my new MacBook Air m13 will not allow the handbrake app to be in the same window with the finder. So how do you put a video in the handbrake app?
Not sure what you mean. Handbrake would be one window and Finder would be another window. Maybe you mean Desktop space, not Window? So perhaps you have one of the two in Full Screen mode? Either way, you can still drag from one to the other. (Not sure what this has to do with the video here though).
A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️
That's why there is the URL field. I considered it very weird before
So you can include a link in your reminder. Why would that be weird?
I tried to add an URL to a file in my Documents folder and get a message that says Reminders doesn't have permission to open file.
I tried different setting but can't bet it to work. The URL works fine from Spotlight Search.
Any ideas?
PS The link is to a PDF file and it should open in Preview.
Where is the PDF file located? Local? iCloud Drive? Another cloud service?
@@macmoston iCloud in Documents folder.
@@wimbeekhuis4494 Did you try in other places? A local file in your Home folder (not iCloud), for instance?
I tried it with a pdf file in my local files folder (not iCloud) and got the same error message. The other problem I had was if a file path or file name had a space in it, the url was truncated at that point, so it did not work. Also a text file with no spaces worked just as you demonstrated using the 'share' button, but if there was a space in the file name it truncated also.
