Notes Doesn't Sync with iCloud

Same here. I have Notes checked off in the iCloud window on both my iPhone and iPad but when I make a new note on the iMac, it does not appear on the other 2 devices. So is there some setting in System Preferences on the iMac that I am missing? Other than having Notes checked in the iCloud window which I already have done? This is pretty frustrating for me as well Shiblee. I thought I would put in my 2 cents worth, just to let you know that I have the same problem.

Hello!

Our little problem seems to be vanishing under a tide of new entries so I thought that I would bring it to the fore in the hopes that someone out there has a solution to the problem that is vexing Shiblee and myself to no end.

Hi all,

First, try restarting your computer. Make sure your iCloud preferences in the computer and device(s) are set with Notes checked, then do the restart. Then create a new Note on the computer, and see if it shows up in the device.

If that doesn't work, reset the device. Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears. When the home screen comes back up, go into Notes and create a new Note and see if it shows up on the computer.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

OK, try signing out of iCloud on the Mac, and then signing onto it again.

Hi Shiblee,

Where were you "deleting" the iCloud account? I was asking you simply to Sign out of iCloud on your Mac....

GB

Sorry - just tried to sign out myself, and saw the message....

OK, so now you are signed back on and everything is checked again, right? And you have gone into iCloud.com to verify that everything is still there, right?

But you are still not seeing a new Note sync to your device, right? (let me know if any of my questions are NOT right...🙂).

Yeah, sorry about that.

So where exactly are we at this point?

Hi,

OK, go into your Mail app, and click on Preferences, and then on the Accounts tab. Is your iCloud account showing up there?

I don't see any reported System Issues on the System Status site, but it has happened before. However, I was looking at the iCloud support manual, and Mail/Notes are together under the same help section. This leads me to believe that you need this iCloud account set up in mail in order for both (or either) to work.

Not absolutey sure about that, but I can tell you that as we were going back and forth, I added a new note to my Mac, and it showed up immediately on my iPhone (like instantly) - same the other way around....that doesn't mean that a server somewhere isn't having a problem, and yours may be one that is.

But, can't think that it would hurt to try to put add your iCloud account to your Mail account to see if it clears the Notes problem up....

If you do try it, and it works, can you let me know?

Cheers, and best of luck with this!
