Have you accidentally deleted an important reminder on your iPad? Don't worry; you're not alone. Many users experience this issue and wonder: "Can you recover deleted Apple reminders?" The good news is, in most cases, you can retrieve deleted reminders through several proven methods. This guide will show you how to recover deleted reminders from iPad step by step. Let's look together.

Part 1. How to Find Deleted Reminders on iPad via iCloud.com

If your iPad is synced with iCloud, there's a high chance that your deleted reminders are still recoverable via the iCloud website. This method works best for recent deletions (within 30 days) and doesn't require your iPad to be connected.

Here is how to recover lost reminders from iPad via iCloud.com:

Step 1. Go to www.icloud.com on your computer browser.

Step 2. Log in using your Apple ID and password.

Step 3. Click your account name > "Account Settings".

Step 4. Scroll to the "Advanced" section and click "Restore Calendars and Reminders".

Step 5. From the list of available backups, choose a version before the deletion occurred.

Step 6. Click "Restore" to recover lost reminders.

Part 2. How to Recover Deleted Reminders on iPad from iTunes Backup

If you've backed up your iPad to your computer using iTunes (or Finder for macOS Catalina and later), you can restore your reminders by recovering the entire backup. While this is a reliable method for iPad reminders recovery, it will overwrite all current data on your device. Make sure to back up your current data before proceeding.

Here is how to recover deleted reminders on iPad from iTunes backup:

Step 1. Connect your iPad to the computer using a USB cable.

Step 2. Open iTunes or Finder on a newer Mac.

Step 5. Choose a backup that was created before your reminders were deleted.

Step 6. Click "Restore" and wait for the process to finish.

Part 4. FAQs on iPad Reminders Recovery

Q1. Why can't I find the "Restore Calendars and Reminders" option in iCloud.com?

In the latest iCloud update, the previous "Restore Calendars and Reminders" feature has been simplified. You'll now only see a "Restore Calendars" button, but this will still recover both your calendars and reminders. If you don't see this option, it's likely because there are no recent backups available in your iCloud account.

Q2. What to do if iPad reminders are not syncing to iCloud?

If you find that your iPad's reminders are not syncing with iCloud, you can try the following solutions:

• Check network connection: Make sure your device is connected to a stable Wi-Fi or cellular data network.
• Re-sign in to iCloud: Sign out of your Apple ID in "Settings" and then sign back in to see if syncing is restored.
• Restart the device: Try restarting your iPad to see if that resolves the syncing issue.
• Check iCloud storage space: Ensure your iCloud account has enough storage space to sync data. You can check your storage by going to "Settings" > [Your Name] > "iCloud". (iCloud storage full?)
• ...

Q3. How to avoid losing reminders on iPad in the future?

To avoid losing reminders, you can regularly back up your device:

• Use iCloud Backup: Make sure that iCloud backup is enabled in your Settings, so your reminders can be automatically backed up daily.
• Use iTunes or Finder Backup: Regularly back up your device's data through iTunes (or Finder on macOS) so that you can restore it when needed.
• Regularly check sync settings: Ensure that the reminders sync feature is enabled in iCloud, so your reminders stay synced across multiple devices.
