Hello Keith, Siri is excellent at adding reminders to whatever ToDo list you have setup.
For instance, I have created a ToDo list called Groceries. This list lives in iCloud so I have access to it from anywhere on any of my devices. Now, when I want to add an item to my groceries list via Siri, I simply say to Siri, "Add milk to Groceries list" or "Add milk to my groceries list". It's really that simple. By the way, to the Windows users out there, The Groceries list is merely a named Task list that will appear in the iCloud section of the Outlook tree assuming you have installed the iCloud add-in to MS Outlook 2007 or later.

I was unaware of being able to set a reminder without a time. Well, come to think of it, I think I know how to do it from the keyboard, but can it be done using Siri? When I think of something to do, I often just grab my phone and tell Siri to remind me of what it is.

It can sync with Macs, but I don't know about Windows devices. Still, give it a try. To sort things, just create new lists. I have several lists, and even a shopping list my family shares so that we can all add to and check items off on that list and our changes sync to the rest of the family members' iOS devices and Macs. >> On Oct 30, 2013, at 11:26 PM, Keith Bundy <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hello, all.
