Cannot sync Notes FROM my Mac TO my iPhone

I am an experienced Mac user but a new iPhone 3GS owner. I am not able to sync notes TO my phone from my Macbook Pro (w. Leopard 10.5.7). I am able to sync notes FROM my phone TO my Macbook Pro, however. Is there a simple solution to this problem? I have tried changing the synching settings in iTunes to "replace" info on the iPhone with info on my Mac, to no avail..
Thanks in advance for any help.

There is no direct work around for these Notes sync problems -- its just not working properly at this time for Mac users -- which is the first time I have EVER seen something work better between iPhone and PC than with iPhone and Mac...
Try doing an iSync>preferences>Reset sync History from iSync in your applications folder and see if that works.
You will get a lot of responses to this of people finding one way or another to work around this -- try them all, because there isn't a single consistent "fix" for notes sync. It just plain old doesn't work right.

HT4967 I can sync data from my Mac to my iPhone and iPad and from my iPhone to the Mac and iPad, but cannot sync data from the iPad to either device. My iPad is configured to Push. Is there another setting than I'm forgetting?

I can update data from my Mac to my iPhone and iPad, and from my iPhone to my Mac and iPad, but cannot get data to update from my iPad to either my Mac or my iPhone.

If new calendar events entered on your iPad do not appear on icloud.com, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar on your iPad and be sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default and not something else like On My iPhone, a Gmail or Yahoo calendar, etc. If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now.
If your settings are correct and new events still aren't appearing on icloud.com, add any missing calendar events from your iPad to your calendar on icloud.com. Once the calendar on icloud.com is up to date with your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (they will still be in iCloud), then after a 15 seconds or so, turn Calendars back to On. Then add a new event on your iPad and see if it appears on your calendar on icloud.com now, and on your other devices.

Cannot sync notes 'From My pc' on my iPad

I am having difficulty syncing notes with my iPad. I have an iPhone and this is okay as it has the option to sync 'From My PC' but my iPad doesnt offer this option. How do I get notes from my PC to my iPad?
Many thanks

How can i sync notes created on my mac to my ipad?

By making sure that you have the same settings on both your mac and your ipad for icloud- with the same apple ID for both. Then they should sync automatically.

Cannot sync notes from MacBook Pro w/Mavericks

I've had no problems sharing Notes info between my MacBook Pro and iCloud until just recently. Now the Notes app on my MacBook Pro will not connect with iCloud. My other devices, iMac, iPhone, and iPad, all communicate with iCloud, but not the MacBook. When I open Notes in the MacBook it says "updating" which goes on seemingly forever without capturing the notes that I know are in iCloud, as verified by going to icloud.com. Also, in Mail, when running the Mail Connection Doctor everything connects ok except for iCloud IMAP, which is what Notes uses. The details posted for the failed connection are
INITIATING CONNECTION Mar 09 20:32:55.268 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:p02-imap.mail.me.com -- port:993 -- socket:0x6000002c83b0 -- thread:0x60000146a000
CONNECTED Mar 09 20:32:55.410 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:p02-imap.mail.me.com -- port:993 -- socket:0x6000002c83b0 -- thread:0x60000146a000
which seems to indicate that a connection to iCloud via imap is, in fact, made, but yet I get the failed connection red dot, and don't get any download of the Notes data stored in iCloud. Driving me nuts. I've tried shutting down Notes, unchecking Notes, restarting the computer in hopes of forcing a connection, all with no luck so far. Driving me nuts.

OK, thanks for that. It may indeed may be the problem, but let's check a couple of things first.
1. On the printer: Setup > Network > Print Network Test. Is the printer connected to the network? If it is not:
a. In the Network menu, Restore Defaults
b. In the same Network menu, run the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your network.
2. On your Mac, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
3. Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

How to sync iBooks from my Mac to my iPhone?

Hi Everybody,
I'm expecting that when i add a book or pdf file to the iBooks application in my mac, it shall appear automatically in my iPhone.
Am I expecting something correct?
Or do I must insert it to iBooks then sync from iTunes?
Thanks for your help,
Abdelaal,

Automatic downloads only works if the ebook/pdf was purchased from Apple, otherwise add it to iBooks on your Mac and sync it across to iPhone using iTunes.

How can I sync Notes from my iPad to my iPhone?

Hi,
I am trying to sync the Notes between my iPad2 and my iPhone4 "over-the/air".
I don't have MobileMe (well, I have only Find My iPhone).
Strange thing is that they were syncing until a few days ago, but now it doesn't work anymore. Maybe I changed some setting by accident.
Thank you for any help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

How do you sync calendars from your mac to your iphone

I am having a problem getting my calendar on my macbook pro to sync with the calendar on my iphone 6. I have icloud turned on for calendars on my phone but when I sync the items I have entered on my macbook pro are not uploaded to my iphone 6. I do most all my inputting on my macbook as it is easier to see the dates and my schedules than on the iphone. I have tried sync'ing both over wi fi and cellular but nothing is happening. At some point the calendars did sync as I do have stuff on my iphone which is on my macbook but I am not able to sync anything now.
thanks for your help
Sheri

Howdy sheribe,
As I understand it, you have iCloud setup to sync Calendar data on your iPhone and your MacBook Pro but it doesn't seem to get across to the phone on either device either using Wi-Fi or cellular data. I would check www.icloud.com to see if the calendar data is there that you entered on your Mac. If it is, use the iOS troubleshooting section of the following article. If it is not, then use the Mac section instead:
Get help using iCloud Calendar
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How to merge notes from my mac to iPhone

I am trying to help my husband sync Notes from his Mac to his iPhone 5S. I think when he set up his new phone he clicked not to merge with iCloud and this might be the reason he can't sync his Notes. Is there a way to now allow the merge with iCloud for Mac/iPhone/iPad? I don't know how to pull up this option now. I am not very tech savy . .any suggestions/help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Where are your notes currently located? Perhaps they are in an email account such as Yahoo or GMail?

I cannot get "Notes" from IPhone 5.0 to upload or sync with the ICloud?

Hi there PGMiller,
You may find the information in the article below helpful.
iCloud: Notes overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12081
iCloud Notes uses your @icloud.com email account to store your notes. If you don’t have an @icloud.com email address, you can create one by turning on Notes in iCloud preferences on your Mac or in iCloud settings on your iOS device.

How to sync Notes from Mac to iPhone?

Hi.
First up .. is Notes supported in Mavericks as I see no specific forum here?
My question is How to sync Notes from Mac to iPhone?
I have lots of Notes written in the Notes application on my iMac.
All these Notes also appear in my iCloud Notes page via Safari. So far, so good.
BUT if I want to sync Notes to my iPhone (iOS 7) my iPhone settings tells me iPhone Notes is default and that if I turn on Notes on iPhone all my iCloud Notes will be deleted.
HOWEVER, I cannot see a way on my iPhone to set the default Notes to iCloud.
I am unsure if this is a OSX question or an iOS question .. but it is a NOTES question.
If you can help, it would be appreciated. Else I will ignore Notes on iPhone (as it seems from other Forums I cannot delete it).
C'mon Apple .. you are losing the ease-of-use mojo.
Michael

These are fun, call apple care and ask for a senior advisor, Both Mac and ios can help. But I can't help you on here it's just too detailed. Expect to spend about 30 minutes with a senior advisor.
