upgraded to new itunes and no longer able to sync my notes in outlook with my iphone 4s

I use outlook notes and in itunes 10 you could sync notes when you plugged in your iphone and opened itunes. after itunes 11, you cannot sync notes via usb so how can i sync notes from my desk top to iphone and vis versa? The only thing i have not tried is to make sure the iphone and my desk top are on the same network at the office. I would be so simple if Apple would leave this function which worked great alone or just give us the option to use either or. I read that in order to sync, both the desktop and iphone have to be on the same network but if your desktop is connected to the net via the network port how can both devices be on the same "network"? I must be having a moment of stupidness! Please explain for us simple fokes.
