I asked this question before but didn't get answers that helped, so I'm trying again. Reminders doesn't pop up on my desktop ever, not when a planned event is nearing or even when I boot up. Sometimes it doesn't even register events I've entered in the
Calendar. I am literally missing or almost missing appointments because of this. I downloaded Office 2011 in July 2013, so I'm past MS's miserably short warranty period, but Reminders has never worked properly from the get-go. Didn't do anything about it because
life was getting in the way, and now it's too late. I have OS X 10.6.8, the OS and Office are always fully updated. As far as I know, Reminders is the only function that doesn't work right, and if it doesn't work it's pretty much useless.
Office Reminders isn't reminding me at all. Unlike Office Notifications in Entourage, Reminders in Outlook never pops open on my screen at all, much less the reminder-in-advance time. Yes, I have it turned on, the time is right and the calendar is right
- all settings available are correct. But Reminders does not pop open on my screen, ever. Not when I wake the computer from sleep and not even when I restart. I have to remember to click it to see what's coming on my schedule, and I have actually missed appointments
because of this. I could rely on Notifications - Reminders is utterly unreliable. I've looked everywhere I can think of for a setting that will make it pop open, but can't find anything. My wife's Reminders works just as it should, so what's wrong with mine?
I miss Entourage.
I miss Entourage.
For some events, I like to have two reminders but I want them both to be device reminders. It looks like I can add two reminders but they have to be different types, one device reminder and one email. Is that right or am I missing something?
Thank you.
Like many of the repeating threads on this forum, Outlook 2011 reminders suck hard.
Whenever I get an invite from a PC Outlook user to an event, my reminders will keep coming back over & over again for past events even when they have been dismissed. I have rebuilt my database numerous times and trashed all my preferences. Since its an
invite to a recurring event, I cant really delete them and recreate them without going through a huge issue of declining and being asked to be re-invited. If I simply click delete, the event comes right back.
Please, Microsoft, for the love of god fix reminders.
I continue to receive reminders for events that have been removed from my calendar. I have tried deleting the reminders preferences file and the cache.
For example, today I had an appointment for 9:00 am. I received 3 reminders. I know the cause is that this particular meeting had been added, deleted, added, deleted and finally added again.
Any thoughts on how to resolve?

When I click on the link "View Details" in the email I get this message on the web page, "Calendar error
The calendar you requested could not be found. Please make sure you are logged in to the correct account and have not deleted the calendar."
When I click on the link "Stop Getting Notifications", I get "
Outlook Calendar has new and improved reminders
We've listened to your feedback and know you'd like better reminders with more flexibility. So, now you can:
- Set up multiple reminders for each event and send them to your email address.
- Set up different reminders for each one of your calendars. New events that you create on each calendar will get those reminders by default. (Don't worry, you can still set different reminders for individual events.)
- Get notified when someone updates an event or task on a shared calendar.
I think that Microsoft has a back up somewhere from an old calendar and the sync didn't happen when I deleted that calendar.
How do I stop reminders?
My reminder notifications don't show up. I have reminders turned on...where are they? I can't find the reminders I created and they don't appear when due. How do I get them to display? How do I find where they are? When I used Entourage a pop up box
would appear at the time I set for the reminder.
P.S. I finally did have one reminder did show up, but it only stayed on the screen for a moment and then the pop-up disappeared. I obviously need reminders to stay "on" until task is complete.
I have recurring reminders pop up every day for meetings that I didn't call and to which I wasn't even invited.
I dismiss them every day. I have cleared the cache (or tried) for the offending calendar (one for a meeting room that we have) but that doesn't work.
I can't edit the events because I didn't create them.
Any suggestions?

I have Outlook 2011 on my Mac. There are a series of Reminders that always pop up, no matter how many times I Dismiss them. I just switched computers, from my old Mac to a new Mac, and I have imported the .olm file. The reminders are once again popping
up. I Dismiss them; they just come back. Please help!
Hi All,
My office reminders, that I have previously dismissed both individually and as all continue to persist and reappear whenever I open Outlook for Mac. Any advice on this?
Thanks,
Monte
