Where do iPhone notes sync to on my Mac?

Notes are part of your iCloud email account. That's why they appear in Mail.

Apple have announced that Mountain Lion (the next OS for Macs) will come with a dedicated Notes application just like iOS devices.

Both iPhoto and iMovie are much more fully featured applications than Image Capture. Most people want to manage, organise and edit their photos and movies which Image Capture doesn't do. For the features they offer, iPhoto and iMovie cannot be beaten for the price. That's probably why they were recommended to you. Have you even spent a few minutes exploring the applications, to see what features you may find useful?

The only thing I wanted was a way to get my iPhone to sync content via iCloud.

That's the first time you've mentioned that. So far you've only been talking about importing photos from your phone, no mention of iCloud until now.

By the way, if I don't need iPhoto to use iCloud

Who said that? iPhoto (or Aperture) is required for PhotoStream as that's what it syncs with on a Mac.

If you're using iCloud:

1. Make sure you've synced your iPhone notes with iCloud

2. Open Mail on your Mac

3. You will see a copy of your notes in your Inbox as well as in Notes

4. Select a note you want to export

5. File > Save As... > Choose "Rich Text", "Plain Text", or "Raw Message Source"

6. Select the location you wish to save to and click "Save"

7. Repeat steps 4-6 for each note as needed

Note that if you select all notes in step 4, your notes will be exported combined as a single file. In either case (single or combined) the file you export will contain email headers which make it appear as though the note were emailed from your iCloud account (From, Subject, Date, message).

You can also find them on Gmail online. There should be a folder called notes.

In Mountain Lion Notes are not in MAIL anymore - I wish it was - mine was syncing automatically with my iPhone. Now i'm trying to figure out how to sync the new NOTES app from the Comp to my iPhone without goint through the cloud -

Any tips

Thank you...

Yes ! Thank you randers4 ~ all those answers to everything but the question and you hit it right on the nose. I have to make a note on my iphone to tell me where to find my notes on my MAC ~ heehaw ~ oh apple-heads

Just to repeat randers4 ~ i believe this answers the original question:

"I believe they are synced to mac Mail, on the left sidebar under Reminders (at the bottom)."

Thanks yo

An alternative, especially useful if you don't actually use the Mail app which comes with the Mac, is to simply email the page of NOTES to yourself and pick them up on your mail website or app.

Bottom line is software needs to be updated on all devices. If you are using icloud, only new notes will sync over to your computer. Notes created before icloud was turned on will need to be re-entered or they will not sync. As long as your mac is up to date notes will have a sister-application that supports ios notes. And yes, iphoto or aperature is required to access photos from your photo stream. Outside of icloud, notes will sync through your email.

You can also Look in the Mac's mail app.
