Any good note taking apps that don't use the cloud to sync to PC?

I'm looking for a note taking app that has an iPad client and a PC client that also acts as a server. I want to be able to keep my ipad notes in sync with my PC notes for work without using any cloud-like services. My iPad is connected to the same corporate network as my PC.
Any suggestions? I'm not fussed about special features like handwriting, images, colours, formatting, etc. folders and tags would be nice though.

No, I don't sync via iTunes any more, but the option is clearly still there, with a warning about what might happen if I turn it on.

Looking for a good note taking app: Are there new features for the Notes app in iOS6?

Hi,
I've read that the Notes app with Mountain Lion will be available for OS X as well, and I was wondering if there will be any significant updates to the Notes app coming in iOS 6?
The Notes app in Mountain Lion supports, as far as I know, text formatting, images and attachments. The Notes app in iOS 5 does not have any of these features, yet still it is claimed that the OS X client will sync with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. This means that there must be some rather significant updates coming for the Notes app in iOS 6 to match up with the features of its Mac counterpart. Still, no updates to the Notes app are listed in any of the iOS 6 feature lists I've seen so far.
I'm looking for a good note taking app for OS X and iOS. I don't like how Springpad works, neither did Evernote work out for me, it's just too complex - I like Simplenote a lot though, it's just that its approach is too radical in my opinion. I was thinking that the Mountain Lion Notes app might be a good alternative because it combines simplicity with rich text formatting and attachments. I kind of hate the skeuomorphic user interface though.
best, Ian

You are only addressing other iPad users here & no Apple employees. We have no way of knowing, so you'll have to wait until iOS 6 is released.
Here's some general info.

I downloaded IOS8.1 and Itunes 12.01.26, now i can not add any music to my iphone that isn't in the cloud.

I've restarted everything, resigned in and out of everything and re downloaded iTunes, ITunes won't see any music that is currently on my iPhone 5c and it will not let me put any music on my IPhone that isn't in the cloud.

Are you trying to sync with a different computer?
The iphone will sync with one computer. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases. File>Transfer Purchases

What if I don't want to use the cloud to sync?

I don't need the cloud nor do I want to use it. I was perfectly fine with syncing contacts and notes from my Mac to my iPhone using iTunes. Apparently that feature is gone now with the release of Mountain Lion? Is there any way around this?

No, I don't sync via iTunes any more, but the option is clearly still there, with a warning about what might happen if I turn it on.

I bought a used iphone. I installed ios 7 before I realized that the previous owner's email and password are still in the phone. How can I remove them so that I can use the icloud and "find my phone" feature?

Thanks so much! It will be kinda weird to contact the person directly, but I guess I will give it a try. Is there anything that I can refer her to in this discussion to let her know I am legit, and not a creeper? Also, I don't know if you can answer this or not. When I plug my phone into itunes, and it says that it is backing up, does that mean that it is going into the other person's cloud, since I cannot access it?

HT1311 I have two iPhones on my account, but I want each to use a different iTunes account so that the directory for one iPhone does not end up on the other when both use the cloud to sync. How to do it?

I have two seperate iPhones on my cellular carrier, but since I unwisely used the same AppleID for both phones iTunes, the two different users end us seeing each other's apps and directories of phone numbers (when each is sync'd through the cloud).
How do I take one of the two phones and move it to a different Apple account?
Thanks

To move one of the phones to a different iCloud account (if that's what you want to do), go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data to Off. When prompted, choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from the phone but not from iCloud so the other phone will not be effected. Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn iCloud syncing in Settings>iCloud back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new iCloud account.
You will then have to go to icloud.com and sign into each iCloud account separately and delete any unwanted data that you don't want on the phone syncing with each account.

Whats the point of Photos if you don't use the cloud?

I find iPhoto useful as quick reference library for my images. Most of the time I use Lightroom & Photoshop, but iPhoto and Aperture have their uses. Given my experience of the apallingly poor (virtually non-existant) synchronisation using iCloud with Pages, Numbers and Keynote that I have experienced over the past few months despite repeatably checking that I have the latest versions etc. I will NEVER store my images on someone else's servers. To that end, what is the point of Photos?
I own a number of 2TB & 3TB hard drives which store my images and backup reliably and which I have already paid for. Why would I want to pay Apple to store yet more copies and suffer the inevitable loss of control over retrieving them, which is what I have experienced with Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
As regards synchronising with all my devices - no thanks. I can easily copy images to my iPad via iTunes. No doubt Apple will remove this option at some point to force us to rent space on the Cloud. When that happens I will abandon Apple totally. You have been warned Apple execs!

What I don't understand is your comment that you use iPhoto as a quick reference library for your photos? Why would you not use Lightroom for that purpose - a much better photo management tool than iPhoto is.
As to why you would use Photos - again it would depend on your answer to the above question. The same way you import your photos into iPhoto you can import them into Photos and use it as a "quick reference tool". And you don't have to enable iCloud Photo Library, just keep your photos on your own computer/drives. I don't use iPhoto (my wife did) and I used Aperture and Pixelmator (a Photoshop-lite alternative). I plan on using Photos (and the iCloud Photo Library) to the photos that my wife and I take with our iPhones (and the ones we decide to save from Facebook) mainly. I occasionally will add some photos from Aperture (or Lightroom when I get around to migrating to that from Aperture) that my wife wants access to.

Any Ringtone creator App that lets me use tones without iTunes sync?

Theres got to be one...Im trying to create a Mortal KOmbat Ringtone, yes from the movie...the one that screams "Mortal Kombat" then starts playing the techno beat, actusly thats exactly what i have in mind when my ringtone goes off...im far away from home so i cant sync through iTunes...need that app!

Why does Apple make it soo difficult...everything we do with the iPhone is always tied with iTunes...thats Apple for ya...oh well back to the old fashion way

How do I cancel an app sunscription? I use the cloud, so I can't go to my account in itunes on my computer

I subscribed to a news paper and am having too much trouble with the app to continue using it. I'd like to cancel the subscription, but can't figure it out.

I don't subscribe to any newspapers or magazines but a quick Google search led me ta an article that stated .....
Go to the App Store, tap on the featured tab, swipe down to the of the screen to where your Apple ID is on the left side. Tap on your ID, enter your password and then tap on View Account. Scroll down to manage subscriptions and you can turn off auto renewal in there.
Read about it here.

I don't use the cloud, have canon 7D mark 2. how do I get LR5 to see camera for raw images.

can I download upgrade to LR5.6 for seeing Canon 7D Mark 2?

The point updates are free, so yes, just install the 5.6 or 5.7 updates.

Any free third-party apps that work with Photos.app?

Since iPhotos no longer work with iOS8 I was looking for a free good third-party app that could work with the Photos.app like the Photo Kit ones.
I would really appreciate if someone could tell me.

HT201272 I changed my apple ID and password because my credit card was hacked. Now the apps that I purchased with the old ID cannot be updated, nor can I sync them to my new iPhone. Is there a way I can retrieve apps that I purchased?

I have a different apple ID and password and now I am unable to sync my apps to my new iPhone. How can I retrieve some of the apps that I purchased using the old ID?

Go to Settings>Store (or iTunes and Appl Store) and sign out and sign back in. If problem go to Settings>iCloud and make sure you are signed into the new iCloud account. You may have to create a new iCloud account.

Query don't use the right index when using bind variables

Hi people !
I need some help because I have an issue with a query that don t use the right Indexes as it should
First of all, I have mainly three tables :
ORDER : Table that contains description for each Order (approximately 1 000 000 Records)
ORDER_MVTS : Table that contains the tasks made (called movements) to set up each Orders
with quantity of packages prepared for each product (approximately 10 000 000 Records)
PRODUCT : Tables that contains the products (approximately 50 000 Records)
When I launch the query with hard coded values, it brings back response very fast
because it uses the right index (ORDER_DHR_VALID) which represent the date and hour of the order
(with format 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'). The selectivity for this index is good.
NB 1: I have to use the trick " >= Trunc(date) and < trunc(date) +1 " to filter on a simple date because
the index contains hour and minutes (I know it wasn't probably a bright idea at conception time).
NB 2: The index on ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE is'nt discriminating enough because there is'nt enough different products.
It's the same for index on CUSTOMER_CODE and on MVT_TYPE so only the index on ORDER.DHR_VALID is good.
Here is the correct explain plan when I execute the query with hard coded values :
SELECT SUM(ORDER_MVTS.NB_PACKAGE)
FROM ORDER_MVTS, PRODUCT, ORDER
WHERE ORDER.DHR_VALID >= TRUNC(to_date('14/11/2008 10:04:56','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'))
AND ORDER.DHR_VALID < TRUNC(to_date('14/11/2008 10:04:56','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')) + 1
AND ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY'
AND PRODUCT.CODE = ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE
AND ORDER_MVTS.ORDER_CODE = ORDER.CODE
AND ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = 'ADIDAS'
AND PRODUCT.CODE = 1234
Rows Row Source Operation
1 SORT AGGREGATE
2 NESTED LOOPS
4 NESTED LOOPS
2 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378548) --> PRODUCT_PK
4 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER
777 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 378119) --> ORDER_DHR_VALID
2 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER_MVTS
30 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 377784) --> ORDER_MVTS_ORDER_FK
Now the problem is when the query is used in a Cursor with bind variables.
It seems like Oracle don't use index on ORDER.DHR_VALID because he can't figure out that he have
to actually filter on a short period of time (only one day).
So Oracle uses the index on ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE which is'nt a bright idea (it takes 10 secondes instead of just one)
Here is the bad explain plan :
Rows Row Source Operation
1 SORT AGGREGATE
2 NESTED LOOPS
722 NESTED LOOPS
2 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378548) --> PRODUCT_PK
722 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER_MVTS
1790 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 377777) --> ORDER_MVTS_PRODUCT_FK
2 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER
1442 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378439) --> ORDER_PK
Now I have found two solutions to this problem :
1) using a Hint to force the use of index on ORDER.DHR_VALID (with /*+ INDEX(ORDER ORDER_DHR_VALID) */ )
2) Using Dynamic SQL and keeping the date hard coded (but not the other values except mvt_type)
For example :
QUERY :=
'SELECT SUM(ORDER_MVTS.NB_PACKAGE)
FROM ORDER_MVTS, PRODUCT, ORDER
WHERE ORDER.DHR_VALID >= TRUNC(TO_DATE('''||To_char(P_DTE_VAL,'DD/MM/YYYY')||''',''DD/MM/YYYY'')) '||
AND ORDER.DHR_VALID < TRUNC(TO_DATE('''||To_char(P_DTE_VAL,'DD/MM/YYYY')||''',''DD/MM/YYYY'')) + 1 '||
AND ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY'
AND PRODUCT.CODE = ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE
AND ORDER_MVTS.ORDER_CODE = ORDER.CODE
AND ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = :CUSTOMER
AND PRODUCT.CODE = :CODE ';
These two solutions work but Number 1 is bad in theory because it uses a Hint
and Number 2 may be difficult to code.
So my question is : Does someone knows another solution to force the use of index ORDER_DHR_VALID that can be simple and reliable.
Thank you very much for support

What version of oracle you have? CBO work is different in 9i and 10g.
Usually cost based optimizer do not want to use index for >< condition with binding variables because optimizer can not use statistic to determine selectivity, and by default selectivity of <> operators is low.
(As I remember '>' selectivity by default is 5%, you have two conditions > and <, therefore resulting selectivity will be 0.05*0.05=0.0025 as two independent events, but selectivity of other conditions
ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY' or ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = 'ADIDAS' looks much better for CBO)
The best solution I see is do not use binding variables. Actually your query looks as searching query, which executes not so often, therefore you will not have perfomance win along of skipping execution plan creation.
