Q: I entered the wrong Apple ID on my iMac and iPhone 6s + and unable to communicate with other devices
I must be able to have "Notes" available on all of my devices because I have very important medical information that my wife must have access to. Six months ago I had a heart attack and I was transported to our local hospital and upon arrival a nurse was asking me for a list of my meds and the doctors who prescribed and any known allergies. I have all of our personal information in NOTES along with information on all projects and of course multiple shopping list. My wife and I had two iPhones, one iPad and two iMac 27s all in sync with iOS 9.3.5 and what ever the OS X was. We used her iPhone 4s and my iPhone 5 and the iPad Air most of the time and everything worked fine until I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS10.0.? We lost NOTES syncing at that time and the Contacts and Calendar were still in sync. Both of our iPhones were starting to suffer from heavy use and low data availability. We had a family vacation coming up in late September 2016 so we decided on buying two iPhone 6S + with 64 G of memory and I was hoping that we would gain the use of NOTES, but it wasn't to be. For some strange reason NOTES is no longer available when we look at our iCloud accounts. It use to be there and it should be there!
I am getting up in my years and I really need to find a way for us to be able to sync our NOTES.
The reason this is screwed up is that I forgot to enter my Apple ID account in her iMac and iPhone. I understand there is no way to remove the original Apple ID with a new one. I just don't understand why others aren't complaining about being unable to sync the NOTES Account along with the Contacts and Calendar. It isn't even available with "Family Sharing".
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.2), Parallels, Win7, Safari, FCP, A.TV
