Q: Notes won't sync to iCloud.
The Notes application on my Mac won't sync to iCloud, so isn't picking up changes made on my iPad or iPhone.
Any ideas what to do? It hasn't synced in about 2 months
MacBook, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

Are other similarly synced applications like Calendar and Contacts syncing normally? What do you see in Notes when you go to iCloud.com?
What is the version of iOS on your iPad/iPhone?
I would consider 2 further troubleshooting steps.
- re-update to OS X 10.11.4 using the "combo" updater.
- make a new user on your MacBook and use the same iCloud credentials that you use on your iPad/iPhone to connect to the syncing services. The goal here is to see if the "new" user can sync Notes properly, which would suggest that some setting on your ordinary user account is problematic.
You are aware of this Notes issue with El Capitan, right? Particularly the upgrade process.
Please let us know how it goes.
