Hi chrisfrmga,


I believe that the information in the following article can help you address this concern:


iOS: Syncing Notes

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4191

Duplicate notes

Syncing Notes both over the air and with iTunes can result in duplicate notes appearing in the Notes application. Use the following steps to resolve the issue:

  1. Connect your device and select it in iTunes.
  2. Click the Info pane and deselect the option to Sync Notes.
  3. When prompted, select Delete Notes to remove the duplicates from the device.

If you want to sync notes with iTunes instead of using the over-the-air feature, disable Notes sync for the account using Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud.

Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
