Someone else's Notes appearing on my iPhone. I'm using version 5.0.1. I assume there is some type of over-the-air sync problem happening?
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1
Thanks for the advice but my phone has been set to "iCloud > Notes Off" since I got the phone a month ago. Any other thoughts or do I need to go into an Apple store at this point? I'm a little freaked out to have someone else's content randomly appear on my phone and it makes me wonder if my content is appearing on other people's phones.
Doing a restore will more than likely resolve the problem. Plug the phone into iTunes, select your phone under DEVICES, and press Restore. This will restore your phone to factory settings. Now, after the restore is complete, you have two options:
1) Restore from Backup
This will let you restore all of the content you had on your phone but may also restore the other person's notes and their ability to sync notes to your phone.
2) Set Up as New iPhone
Your data will not be restored, but you can always sync content back later as long as it is in iTunes. On the positive side, this would positively remove any setting that would allow someone else's notes to appear on your phone.
You will be presented with these two options after the restore. I recommend restoring from a backup first so you won't lose your data, but if it doesn't solve the problem, proceed to restore as a new phone.
Do you share an Apple ID with anyone?
I don't share an Apple ID with anyone. Based on the slang and content I can tell that the Notes definitely do not belong to anyone I know.
Well in that case you can go to Settings > iCloud > Notes OFF.
