Sync Notes option GONE from iTunes after ML Update?!?

yup ... same problem with my Mac ... trying to find a solution 😟

Wow, that is really upsetting. I have like 70 notes in iCloud, and 250 on my phone not synced. I really hope you guys find a solution.

okay here what I got after pulling lot of my hair ... it may be user (myself) specific !!!
1. Old notes are not being synced to and fro iphone - Mac - iCloud

2. Made one new note in iPhone and one new in Mac.

3. They synced well across eachother plus to iCloud ... TADA !!!!

4. I copy pasted all the old notes ( luckily 6 only) into new ones.
5. Synced like a breeze both to Mac and iCloud ( under the email section)

6. Breathing normal again !!!!

P.S.1

As far as "notes" option in iTunes is concerned, it is irrelevant now as I am also not getting it but sync is automated the moment any change is made in either of the machines and they being connected.

P.S.2

Beau Thomas, I wish you best of luck with those 320 notes 👿 ... I hope there would be a better automated solution somewhere ...

Same problem here!

I have a ton of notes "on my iPhone" and no easy way to merge them into iCloud

Help??

I hope they restore the feature to locally sync notes so that people who wish to opt out of iCloud syncing can.

I use Notes on my iPhone and iPad and was used to syncing these devices through iTunes which worked very well. I was looking forward to ML as a huge upgrade in connectivity between my MacBook Pro, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Then I find out that Notes sync in iTunes is completely gone, my MacBook Pro is a late 2010 model so it won't work with Airplay mirroring so I have just upgraded my MacBook Pro and degraded everything I had before. I only use an Exchange server for email, contacts and calendar due to business issues so I can't sync notes thru an email account. Does anyone have a solution to this?

I upgraded to Mountian Lion

Now in iTunes, under the 'Info' tab for my iPhone, I can no longer see the 'Sync Notes on this iPhone with Notes on this Computer' option.

The checkbox & heading has COMPLETELY gone.

I'm assuming this has something to do with ML now having a native Notes.app but this is of no use to me.

The bulk of my notes on my iPhone were created before iCloud existed. And so they belong to the account 'On my Phone'. So even when turning on iCloud syncing for notes on the iPhone, these old notes do not transition to iCloud (A well known flaw amoungst many users I've seen on here).

Does anyone know how else to Sync notes from an iPhone to a Mac running ML?

Once on the Mac, I can simply turn on iCloud syncing for Notes on the Mac, then drag & drop the Notes from 'On my Mac' to 'iCloud'.

I did what you just said (drag & drop) and ALL of my notes dissapeared off ALL of my devices AND iCloud!!!. Fortunately I had backed up my iPhone 4 iOS 6 and still have all my notes in the iTunes backup file. I restored that file (including my notes) and as soon as phone restarted, it re-synced with the empty iCloud Notes and notes disappeared again from my phone. This is absolutely REDICULOUS!!! And I'm still using Lion with latest iTunes update so I still have Sync Notes option in iTunes, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK!!! Somebody at Apple has been drinking WAY too much.
