Is there any way I can get my old notes out of Outlook and onto my iPhone and iPad? Since I've been using Outlook 2013 notes no longer sync. Thank you.

Hi,

Until recently I'd been quite happily syncing my Outlook notes between my PC/iCloud/iPhone/iPad. However, when I transferred to Outlook 2013, where notes are still stored but no longer supported, I've found I have several notes in my Outlook notes module which can't now sync to my devices.

Is there any way I can get those notes still left in Outlook 2013 into my iCloud account and therefore onto my iPad and iPhone?

I have tried forwarding a note to myself as an email attachment but I can't open it in a form which would allow be to save it as a note once I receive it. I can export my notes as an Outlook.PSD file or as a CSV file; but I don't know if it is possible to get that data into separate notes. The best alternative I can think of myself is opening the iCloud.com page and copying and pasting note information into new notes. That would be laborious, but possible I guess.

I'd be really grateful for any help.

Thanks very much.

Hello Karen

Check out the quoted section below to see if you any subject line is causing the issue of them not syncing.

Unable to sync notes with Outlook

If notes are not syncing from Outlook, verify that you don't have any notes with no content or subject in Outlook. These notes can prevent Outlook from syncing as expected; removing them or adding a subject should allow syncing to resume
