iOS 6 Syncing Notes Issue (iCloud)

I'am having the same problem. I talked to a rep at Apple yesterday for about an hour and the problem could not be resolved. Interesting that when I updated my wife's 4S there was no problem. Her notes sync just fine with the iCloud. The Apple rep is going to call me back this afternoon to check if the problem fixed itself. So far, it has not.

I'm also having this exact same problem. I haven't figured out a fix so far.

I am having a more complicated version of the same issue - my notes are not syncing on either my MBP (Mountain Lion) or on my iPad. What I type into iCloud directly will show up on my iPad. But what I type on my iPad or on my MBP stays there.

When you say "Delete Account" what account are you talking about? Also, in System Preferences, I have Notes checked under iCloud, but every time I close notes, System Preferences unchecks it.

A third, very related question. When I set up my iPad with iOS6 last night, it asked me to create a @icloud.com email to sync notes. I did that. On icloud.com, that is called my Apple ID. But I have another Apple ID that I have used for everything else and in fact that's how I logged on to this support. Which Apple ID am I supposed to be using?

I'll apreciate any help help. So far, ever since Mountain Lion came out, I have had nothing but problems with Notes and with Reminders.

I'm joining the rest with the same ISSUE.

I tried deleting acct > erase on iPhone and reinstalling iCloud w original apple id with no success. It doesn't even let me select 'On', it prompts me instead to create new iCloud email. I refuse to create another iCloud email cause I fear I will lose notes.

I have very highly sensitive material in ALL my notes and this type of dependency on 'tech' is what scares me about the future.

Other than this issue my 4S is very quick and snappy!

Hours after installing ios 6 on my 4S my notes vanished. It kept prompting me to create new icloud email. I did and notes finally turned on, but it was completely empty.

I had no choice but to create a new icloud email and now I could turn on 'notes'. after I realized that theres '0' notes.

I think i loss all my ******* sensitive notes!!! Im so ******* ******!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Toasted,

I tried your fix and it did not work for me. I still can't get my notes to go to the cloud or getting new ones created in the cloud to go to the phone. I talked to another tech about this issue and he has referred my case to their engineers. They are going to find 'my' server and try to figure what's wrong with it. He said he would get back to me when they get back to him. Supposedly, takes a few days. Time will tell. Glad you fixed your problem.

Anyone else out there that's got an idea on how to fix this issue?

In my personal case, my iDevices reveive correctly the new notes from my Mac but previous notes of my iDevices (before iOS 6) are not synced to the Mac (10.8.2). There is a workaround: copy/paste_in_new_notes on the iDevices.

Anyone has a better tip or an "official" worflow to sync in both directions the notes created in iOS 5 once the idevice is updated to iOS 6 ?

Thank you.

Hi, I have exaclty the ame problem: my macbook air sync perfectly with icloud, iphone 4s io6 doesnt...

My biggest issue is the calendar, even when creating new calendars on my iphone 4s io6; these DONT appear in icloud!

Deleted icloud and activated again (lost a lot off appointments grrrr) , to no avail.

help!

cheers

iOS 6 wrecked my phone...I've been trying to get everything straight for days now. 😟 iCloud won't sync notes and b/c I'm on a 4, they're telling me I have to go the store to try and fix this. I really would rather just have a solution...but it seems that a lot of people are in the same bind. No good. 😟

Same for me - iphone 5. Adding on the phone to either Notes, Reminders or iCal doesn't add to iCloud or MBP apps. Adding on icloud doesnt update phone even though the phone says thery are connected.

Turning on or off sync for notes, or anything else ,just spins until the phone battery runs out.

Removing and readding icloud a/c on phone makes no difference, neither does hard-closing and reopning app.

So now I have no calendar, contacts, notes, reminders on my phone, along with maps that get me lost. The most expensive and amazingly well built pile of ****e I have ever owned.

Its been now well over a week and the Apple Engineers have yet to resolve this 'not syncing notes' problem.

Their representative tells me that many users are having this issue and it appears to be a coding problem.

Anyone else have an update or aware of a fix?

What I found that works for Notes is to make sure that the notes are going to icloud instead of "on my iPhone" (locally). I checked that there were some notes that were under "on my iPhone" instead of icloud and thats why those notes were not syncing. Go to Accounts in Notes app to see where your notes are.

Turn on your notes sync in Icloud.

Create your new icloud email address. (yes another account)

Open one of your notes on your phone, and copy it.

Then make a new note and paste it there.

In a couple of seconds it will appear on the icloud and on your phone and visa-versa.
