It's been a few weeks now. This started after the macOS Monterey update, with the hot corner feature, I've already turned off that feature. The note app doesn't open and a dialogue box pops up saying the notes app isn't responding. What to do?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0
Firstly - is the user profile accurate and running Monterey 12.0 ?
If so - the current version os version 12.2.1 Brings several bug and security fixes and maybe related to this issue.
Otherwise suggest the below starting with #1 and work through in order >>
1 - Suggest restarting in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
2 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
3 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.
4 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then this appears to be a System Wide issue.
5 - Suggest downloading the Application Etrecheck directly from a well Respected ASC Contributor. And Safe to use.
The application is free or paid from added features.
Run the application with Full Disc Access ( Security & Privacy - Full Disc Access ).
It will take a Snap Shot - both the hardware and software.
The Report will Not Reveal Any Personal Information.
Post back the Full Report - copy and paste - using the Additional Text Icon ( 3rd Icon to last )
We can have a look at the report for possible issues and may have possible suggestions to resolve the issues.
Any Third Party Applications that will interfere with the normal operation of the OS, alter, modify, remove or delete or attempt to do so is an invitation for disaster and may require a Reinstallation of the OS.
This includes AntiVirus, Disk Cleaners, Disk Optimizes, UnInstaller etc.
This will included Norton Antivirus
The The Built in Security is all that is required.
Hi there. Here are some things to try:
1) If you haven't tried already, power off your Mac and power it back on, then launch Notes and see if the issue persists.
2) Go into System Preferences >> Apple ID (at the top) >> Turn off iCloud sync for Notes and then re enable it (if you want your Notes to be synced across your devices).
3) This is possibly a macOS Monterey bug. Are you updated all the way to macOS 12.2? If so, report the bug here: Product Feedback - Apple (scroll down under macOS Apps and choose either macOS or Notes to report the bug)
Notes App keeps on crashing.
