notes disappear in front of my eye

I took some notes early in the morning, then I went back home and open the notes in my mac. i was reading the notes and suddenly it just jumps to different notes. i tried to look for the notes and it's gone. It's not in recently deleted or anywhere. I tried to search by the name and return no result

In notes preferences , if the box of enable the on my Mac account is checked and you create some note in the folder it will get saved , but not synced with iCloud .

If you open system preferences > Apple ID > iCloud and uncheck the box of notes they will start disappearing from the notes application .

Once again the notes box is checked they will again start downloading / syncing from the iCloud server , it will take hours to sync all of them, high network speed is essential , also depends how much notes data is stored .

If iCloud storage is exceeded from present storage used and you continuously add the notes they won't save , also if notes are continuously added in a folder created in iCloud section see the example screen shot , at certain limits the note will not be saved the data will move up and down ( you can see in bottom end of that folder ) .

Hello supersam666,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're experiencing an issue with Notes. You mentioned that you created the note this morning; was it created on the Mac you're using now? Have you checked to see if the note appears in Notes on iCloud.com? If not, would you mind taking a look?


View notes and locked notes on iCloud.com


Best regards.
