Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I use notes quite frequently to write down ideas. Lately I've noticed something weird and annoying though. Everytime I start the app and add to a note, another copy of the note is saved. It's getting so I have 10 and 12 copies of some notes.
I do not have sync notes on iTunes checked and I don't think it's happening becasue of my iCloud backup becasue I have notes switched OFF.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a glitch or am I doing something wrong?
Yeah, that was a real drag. I hope someone deletes that advice.
That deletes all notes. Can you take down that advice?
So do we get answers to these or we just telling eachother what we struggling with?
I managed to solve this (for myself) yesterday. I was being regularly prompted to login to a Google/GMail account which is not my main account. I think for some reason I've managed to link this into my email client - Apple Mail. The notes saving problem appeared after an iOS upgrade. anyway logging into the Gmail account through iOS preferences has stopped the multiple saving antics of Notes. I hope this a help to someone else. I was getting very disappointed and not being able to use Notes.
Cheers,
Mike
I resolved this by changing the default account to the icloud. I think it was trying to auto save and that was why it was duplicating. All my messages are still there but I am no longer getting duplication.
Brutal, don't follow Lionel's advice. He fail to warn that it wipes out all notes. I also just lost years worth of notes
I had this problem on my macbook air and iPad. I am running OSX 10.9.5. Default account was iCloud. ganged this to "on my mac" and back again to iOS. Multiple saving no longer happens!! I wonder how long that will last?
WOW Thanks for the heads up about all our data being deleted, you should have told us to back up our notes first. #garbage
I can't believe you would put this here. So many people have lost data because of you, including me. This is awful advice, you have ruined so much for me.
Are you insane? I lost years of important data because of your advice!! ridiculous !
tell me how to undo this now!
This is a pretty sick joke to play on people.
Thanks for deleting all my notes.
Multiple copies of notes keep saving
