Notes limit

Thanks for that clarification, Geldy47.

Unless you are trying to add that note on the iCloud website, your available space there won't have an impact on your ability to make it directly on your Mac. How much free space does your Mac itself have? Check this article for assistance in determining that: See used and available storage space on your Mac. Also, please make sure you restart your Mac as that can help with a lot of unexpected behaviors.

Let us know what you find out, please.

We're glad you were able to successfully add a note from the iCloud website, Geldy47.

With the issue continuing after those steps, the next step would be to reach out to Apple. You can find their contact details via the link below.

Contact - Official Apple Support

Prior to contacting Apple, you can test to see if the issue persists in a new admin user account, notate the results, and provide the results to Apple. This can help guide them through additional steps. To create a new admin user account, click the Apple logo towards the top-left, followed by System Preferences > Users & Groups, if the lock icon is closed, click the lock icon to unlock, followed by the plus (+) sign to add a new admin user account.

After creating the new admin user account, click the Apple logo towards the top-left, followed by Log Out [your user account], then log in to the test user, sign in to iCloud via the steps in the article below, then see if you're able to create a new note.

Sign in with your Apple ID

Take care!

Geldy47,

If you try to add a note from the iCloud.com website from a computer are you able to there? Are you able to create new notes on your Mac instead of your iCloud folder? Here's a resource on how to set that up: View your notes on Mac

This will help us isolate your issue. We look forward to hearing back from you.

Take care.

Hi Geldy47,

What specifically happens when trying to add a new note? If you receive a specific error or message, let us know.

Also, are you trying to create this note at iCloud.com or via the Notes app on your Mac? Let us know, and we'll continue based off that info.

Cheers!

Geldy47,
