Q: Old Notes missing after upgrade to new Notes app iOS 9

I just upgrade my ipad to ios 9 today.

And first thing I tried is Notes, because one of the most app I used since ios 6 is Notes.

So, I choose to upgrade my notes in the new Notes app, fyi I have 3000++ notes that I collected since ios 6 and it all synced to my iCloud account.

But after I upgraded my notes, only 182 notes that sync to my ipad, where did the rest of the notes go?

I've tried to turn off notes option in iCloud settings and turn it back on, but still only 182 notes is synced.

If I know this what will happen if I upgrade my notes, than I'll never upgrade it.

Can someone give me advice how I can get the rest of the notes?

iPad Mini, iOS 9.0.2

    Check to see if some (hopefully all) of the missing notes are under a different notes account:

    Tap the back arrow at the top-left side of the screen until your reach "Folders". If you have multiple notes from multiple accounts, they should be listed here. Tap on each folder and verify their contents for the missing notes. The number of notes contained in each displayed account (or folder) will be shown so you can judge which folders may contain your missing notes.

    UUnfortunately I only have one account for notes, which is my iCloud account.

    there is no other folder except iCloud.

    maybe the notes are still being sync, I mean not finish syncing because there are spinning circle beside iCloud folder.

    but it's taking very long time but still only 182 notes synced.

    and I'm sure my Internet connection is not the problem, so maybe apple server ? Idk
