    Hi dryingyi!

     

    I have an article for you that will help you get the iCloud notes to show up on your PC. In order to have Notes syncing into Outlook on your PC, you will need to enable your iCloud mail account. This can be done by following the instructions in this article:

     

    iCloud: Set up iCloud Mail on your devices and computers

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2621

     

    I have another article that can give you some basic information about Notes in iCloud as well, and that can be found here:

     

    iCloud: Notes overview

    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12081

     

    Please be aware, that as it says in the last article:

    Note:   In Microsoft Outlook, you can see your iCloud notes by expanding your iCloud account in the sidebar, then selecting the Notes folder for the account. You should add and edit your iCloud notes only from an iOS device, a Mac, or the Notes web app at icloud.com. If you add or edit iCloud notes using Outlook, those changes don't appear on your iOS 6 devices, your Mac, or icloud.com.

    To use iCloud Notes, your iCloud account must have an @icloud.com email address. You can create one by turning on Notes in iCloud preferences on your Mac or in iCloud settings on your iOS device.

    In order for any of this to work, you will want to have the iCloud Control Panel installed on your PC, if you don't already have it installed. If you need the download link for that program, it can be found right here:

     

    iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 for Windows

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

     

    Cheers,

    Braden
