Q: Notes not syncing from Mac to iCloud

My Notes app on my MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012, running OS X 10.10.3) doesn't seem to be syncing with iCloud. The notes on my iPhone show up in iCloud and vice versa, but there seems to be no uploading or downloading between the computer and iCloud.

 

I originally had my notes syncing through my Gmail account. When I tried using iCloud for notes instead, I was prompted to create an iCloud.com email address. I did so, and now I can turn on the Notes switch on both my computer and my iPhone. My Gmail address is still my primary email address for iCloud (the one I sign in with), but the new iCloud.com address shows up on both devices as an alternate, and I no longer get the prompt to create an iCloud.com address when I flip the switch on either device.

 

I moved all my notes from the Gmail folder to the iCloud folder on my computer, but they just won't show up on iCloud.com or on my phone. Also, a new note I created on my phone does show up on iCloud.com but not my computer.

 

I've tried flipping the iCloud "Notes" switches on and off on both devices to no avail — I can't seem to jumpstart a sync of my notes between my computer and iCloud. Any ideas? Sorry if this question has been asked and answered; I tried Googling the issue.

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
