Sep 17, 2015 9:26 AM in response to bobseufertby SergZak,I seem to have missed the iPad 4 or greater requirement. Lots of stuff going on and hard to keep track of all the changes and requirements.
Thanks, Bob!

Sep 21, 2015 2:21 PM in response to Chenbmacby epereira,I had the same problem with my iPad3. Cannot draw sketches in Notes for IOS9 on the iPad, but I can draw them on an iPhone 5. I checked for an alternative. I also use Microsoft OneNote in the iPad (version 2.16 2). This application allows me to draw sketches on the iPad. Clearly, it is not a hardware problem, but an Apple decision. I can then see the sketches that I created on the iPad on my iphone and on my Macbook Pro (I had created an account with Microsoft for the free cloud storage). Since this is a Microsoft application, I can also see them on my Windows laptop that I use for work. I cannot understand why Apple excluded that feature in Notes for this version of the iPad.

Sep 22, 2015 11:22 AM in response to epereiraby mveras1972,....and I have an iPad 2 so I am laughing at this LOL! so what can I expect? I'm surprised iOS 9 runs at all! I knew Apple would pull a low blow like this to its loyal fans like they've done in the past. A sneaky way to force people to ditch more money for an expensive iPad that does the same thing that your old one can do, just so you can get the new iOS features. Luckily I've been using Evernote for a long time so no reason for me to switch apps.

Sep 22, 2015 4:41 PM in response to asboitesby Chenbmac,In the iPad 3rd gen and earlier models, this feature is not available. Many users are reporting the same thing.
What generation is your iPad?

Sep 23, 2015 10:57 AM in response to asboitesby mveras1972,Asboites, That does not seem to be the complete/ correct answer. I have two iPads, one is the iPad 2 and the iPad Air 2. Both of them connect to the same iCloud account and I do not have notes stored locally on the iPads. Please explain how on the iPad 2 I don't have an option to sketcn but on the iPad Air 2 I have the sketch options, and remember all notes are on iCloud. Is it that on the iPad 2 notes need to be stored locally and on the iPad Air they can be on ICloud? That doesn't seem to make sense.

Sep 23, 2015 4:39 PM in response to mveras1972by bobseufert,The iPad 2 could store Nores in the cloud but you needed a iCloud.com address to do it. With the updated Notes (iPad 4 and above) you no longer need the iCloud.com address.

What does this mean? I know that you can store notes locally and on the icloud on any iPad version. It just depends on how you have it configured.

Sep 25, 2015 7:04 AM in response to mveras1972by bobseufert,.Before the update you needed a iCloud.com address to turn Notes on in iCloud, no longer.

Sep 25, 2015 7:28 AM in response to Chenbmacby TugMariner,I have an iPad Air 2 and had a similar issue after upgrading to IOS 9. I found a solution with the help of Apple Support:
Issue is that the new NOTES program is having an issue with some data in your existing notes and is therefore not showing all the formatting options.
Resolution Steps:
1) Backed up ipad to my PC via iTunes
2) Signed-in to iCloud.com and copied all my notes to MS Word
3) Deleted all notes from NOTES in iCloud.com
4) On iPad, went into Settings/Icloud and turned off NOTES in icloud
5) On Ipad, went into Settings/General/Reset and did "Reset all Settings"
6) Manually re-keyed notes from MS Word back into Notes in icloud.com. I did not copy n paste for fear I might also copy whatever data is causing the issue to begin with.
7) On iPad, signed back into icloud and then turned on Notes (in icloud).
8) My notes appeared on my device with with all formatting options present. ISSUE RESOLVED.
Then had to re-enter my various settings and logins for my apps and accounts on the device. Didnt take too long.…

Sep 25, 2015 7:28 AM in response to bobseufertby mveras1972,I'm sorry, but that still doesn't make sense to me. What you are saying sounds like you no longer need an iCloud account in order to store notes in iCloud, but how can anyone store anything in iCloud without an iCloud account?
