A:

Then the fact that you are running 10.10.5 and upgraded to the new Notes on your iPhone would be the problem.

 

Again, see the quote below. That and more information is in: iCloud: Notes overview

However, if you upgrade your iCloud Notes account on an iOS 9 device or a Mac with OS X v10.11:

  • Your notes on those devices and on iCloud.com aren’t kept up to date with notes on any of your devices with iOS 8.4.1 or earlier, OS X v10.10.5 or earlier, or Windows.

    Thank you for help. I review the info, but I am still unable to get Notes created on MacBook Air to sync with iPhone. I assumed Notes application would work like Reminders, Mail, Calendar, etc. in synchronizing information.

    It should. However the signature in your original post states MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8 which is why I included the quote about older versions in my previous reply. You may want to reply with what version of OS X on your Mac and what version iOS on your iPhone that you are using if it isn't 10.6.8

    Sorry for my miscommunication. My MacBook Air is version 10.10.5. My iPhone 6s is version 9.2.1
