Notes won't sync between iPhone & MacBook Pro.

Excellent point. Very important.

THis sorted my issue.

Had this problem. Nothing helped. Then the common sense prevailed.... go to icloud on iphone, check whether the "Notes" option there is turned on or not. Green means on else its not on.

this helped me. :-)

i have tried this but did not help !!!

i have tried logging out of my iCloud accounts on both my iPhone 6 and macbook pro circa 2012, nothing happened, notes app is on both my devices !

please help !

Bit of a chaff, but this solution worked for me with my Mac to iPhone - thank you. Going to check the iPad now to see if that has done the business !

I'm honestly starting the think the accounts claiming this was solved for them are fake. 😐

What worked for me is finding that on icloud the set of notes that was way more complete, that I had on my iphone, was there. But the limited notes seen on my mac pro, were not. I went on my mac pro to system preferences to icloud and as suggested, deselected notes and immediately rechecked it. It worked!! Suddenly all my iphone notes were downloaded onto my mac pro! Thanks!

Apparently, you have to upgrade to El Capitan if you want your notes to work on the Macbook, and have upgraded to ios 9 on the smaller devices... Ramming it down our throats...

Before you upgrade your notes - Apple Support open this in new tab....

El Capitan 'upgrade' is required (aka ios 10.11 to sync notes on to the Macbook from devices running ios9. Most likely, you updated your phone or ipad with the latest ios 9.x and did not update your laptop device. El Capitan gets great reviews from most of the sites I trust on whether an upgrade is worth doing.

It's not clear what you have done, so you might have already done a few of the following steps.

1. On you Mac, launch System Preferences and click on the iCloud icon
2. Check the ballot box to the left of Notes
3. Launch the Notes app
4. From the View menu, select Show Folders List. You should now see a column like below
5. 
6. Your "Mac notes" are "On My Mac" that only reside on you Mac.
7. To get the notes on to iCloud, click on Notes under the On My Mac section.
8. Click on one of the notes, and then go to the Edit menu and Select All (command = A)
9. Click and drag them all to Notes under the iCloud section. They should now appear on you iPhone and iPad.

Going forward on your, create new notes within Notes under iCloud

HTH

Found a solution to my problem. I'm using El Capitan on my rMBP. IOS 9.3.2 on iPhone.

Notes created on Mac were not syncing to iPhone.

It turned out that in Notes on the Mac, in the sidebar on the left, I had selected On My Mac > Notes. I should have selected iCloud > All iCloud when creating new notes.

So I copied each of the notes one by one from On My Mac, the selected All iCloud, created a new note, and pasted it in there. Each note immediately appeared on my iPhone!

If you alway want the notes created on the Mac to sync with iPhone, you have to create them with All iCloud notes selected.

Hello Sabatica. I've manually copied all of my locally stored notes into icloud folders, still no syncing. I have also turned notes off, then on again in iCloud to re-set, but to no avail. I have read many forums on this problem and have yet to find any solution!

You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.

Have you tried signing out of iCloud and then back in?

I have this question too I have OSX 10.9.5

If anyone's still having this problem, the only thing that solved it for me is upgrading the software on my MacBook to match the upgrade on my iPhone and that solved the problem.
