Notes App - images/pdfs loading forever

I have a note in my Notes App with many PDFs and images scanned into it of recipes.

I cannot open any of them. They have the word ‘loading’ and the white circle loading for many hours.

The note sits inside of a folder that is shared with three other people.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Many thanks

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13

Attachments in Locked notes lost! I save a lot of attachments into notes such as PDFs, screenshots etc and for sensitive information such as banking details etc, I lock them. To my horror, most of these are now not there anymore. I either have a small thumbnail but that's all and can't view that thumbnail anymore at full size or I have a blank space where I would of previously had the attachment. It seems to be an issue that is only happening to locked notes specifically. The affected notes are the same both on my Mac and iPhone and the same issue whether I'm on 3G/Wifi etc. I should also say that some of the attachments show up as 'LOADING' but nothing ever loads. Has anyone else come across this? I am using a macOS Monterey 12.6 and iOS 16.02.

Image turning blank in Notes App Has anyone ever seen something like this in the Notes app. The images I've attached are disappeared while some others remain there. I'm not able to click on it to try to load it back, they've just gone blank and I can't do anything about it. Any tips to possibly save these images? (Btw, this happens on all my apple devices, can't access them either on iCloud.com)

Notes app is only opening the folders screen and showing I have zero notes or folders I’m trying to open my notes app to record the stats for my latest run, however when I open the app it is displaying the folders section which is empty, despite me having folders. The only button it shows is the “new note” button and if I write a new note it doesn’t seem to save or go anywhere. Any advice on what to do here would be greatly appreciated!

Hello BestUse,

Thanks for that info and for choosing the Apple Support Communities. If I understand correctly, you are unable to load images and PDFs that in the Notes app. To help with this, please see if the steps in this Apple resource help with your situation, and then contact Apple if you need any further assistance.
