iPhone6 suddenly won't pick up Notes even though it has done so successfully for months. The iMac and Macbook are 10.10.5 and the iPhone is 9.0.2. Settings are unchanged. iPhone does pick up mail, contacts, etc. just not Notes. What happened?

What do you mean that it "won't pick up Notes?" What happens when you try? What are you seeing exactly? What troubleshooting have you done?

If you updated your iPhone to iOS 9 and then upgraded to the new Notes features and you have not updated your Macs to El Capitan (OS X 10.11), that would explain why Notes are no longer syncing. See Before you upgrade your notes - Apple Support
