iCloud Notes not updating

Notes in Ventura or in iOS don't appear in iCloud Notes. No system I'm logged into, iPadOS or even Monterey, will update iCloud, and consequently nothing syncs across platforms. Notes are switched on in Apple ID iCloud on all devices. System Status is Ok. The last note that appeared iCloud was on Nov 30. Other iCloud systems, Mail and Calendar, are all still syncing. The problem seems to be only in Notes. Does anyone know how to overcome this? Is there some switch for iCloud to sync aside from those on the various platforms? It's a huge problem for me if Notes doesn't sync.


Thanks very much for any assistance.

Colton at Apple support suggested reinstalling the OS. I reinstalled 13.0.1 on top of the existing system. It allowed 13.0.1 Notes to upload to iCloud. I message could be deleted and disappeared from iCloud. Once that was done the log jam was broken and all the devices and various OSs could send to iCloud and populate across all the systems. Glad to have gotten past this hurdle. Good luck to others with this problem.
