Q: Why is icloud not syncing all my notes on all devices properly?
I have iCloud syncing of the new desktop/mobile app - "Notes" turned on in my desktop Imac, my Ipad and my Iphone.
All I want iCloud to do is simply mirror and sync all three of these Notes platforms so that the latest versions of all existing and new notes are identical in number and content on all devices.
Is that not what this great complicated,bug-prone iCloud is SUPPOSED to do ????
I had, over a long time (pre-iCloud and Mountain Lion), accumulated 61 separate notes on the Iphone, as this is where I create and refer to most of my notes.
Despite my having these 61 Iphone notes, only 17 are appearing on the desktop - and, indeed, it appears iCloud has gone and DELETED most of the notes I had previously synced up to the desktop from the iPhone using both iCloud and the old Itunes syncing,.... which of course has now no longer available..
Please, someone, how do I get Icloud to stop being selective and having a mind of its own about what it deletes and syncs and, instead, very simply do what it'as touted to do and mirror all notes in identical fashion on all 3 platforms. ?????
- Iam frustrated and on the verge of just shutting it all down and giving up on the Cloud - it is so poorly explained !!!
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1), iMac 2.7 GHz core i5

It is simple and does EXACTLY that - for stuff that is in the cloud or that you put there. It can only do what you tell it to do. What you exclude, it won't do, and what you don't add to the cloud, it won't sync.
