Hey there Raid3n87,


Thanks for providing those additional details.


Just to clarify, when you say that you noticed that your notes were not syncing to iCloud, did you not have Notes enabled for any email accounts or iCloud in Settings > Notes > Accounts?


If you did not have any accounts enabled to sync your notes, did you by chance have the "On My iPad" Account enabled in Settings > Notes before enabling iCloud? If this setting was and is still enabled, try opening the Notes app, tap "Folder" in the top left corner of the display, and choose the Note's folder under "On My iPad" to see if the note appears there.


If you did have Notes in iCloud enabled, but the note disappeared after you started syncing your notes, then we'd recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly from this link here: Get Support


We hope that's able to help.


Have a great day!

Hi there Raid3n87,


If you're missing notes from your iPad, check the account settings below to see if that helps:


Check your account settings
If you store your notes with a third-party account or email service, like Gmail or Yahoo, check your settings:
1. In the Settings app, tap Mail.
2. Tap Accounts, then tap the email account that you want to check.
3. Make sure that Notes is on.
If you use Notes with more than one email account, just repeat the steps for each account. If your account is missing, learn how to add an email account to your device.

You'll find that information and more steps to try here: If you're missing notes on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Take care.

Hello buddy. I am talking about brand new Ipad Pro 2022! First of all when I finish my setup I also have been interested why I not see notes I have saved on my another devices(in Icloud). Installation and setups was the same as I am doing always! I have 3 another devices with same settings! All working fine! But when I went in my account and I found that my storage hasnt been synchronised with Icloud I did it and this is the result - lost forever document! 😡😡 Do you know what in this case sucks? Definitely not me! And definitely a glitch in the Ios for which nobody ever heard about!
