HT4859 Notes won't sync

I have 2 desktops, an iPhone and an iPad.  ICloud on all of them.  However, I cannot get Notes to sync on one of my desktops.  When I go to System Preferences>iCloud and click on Notes, it tries to sync and then tells me to try later.  Later doesn't work.

I have an iPhone 3GS with the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

    Hi vichochile,
    If you are having an issue with syncing your new iPhone with the information that is in iCloiud (and on your other devices) we should make sure that iCloud is set up correctly on the iPhone. See this page for directions -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Notes won't sync from either iPad or iPhone to Macbook Air

    So here is my problem. I have a yahoo account that allows my notes to go between my iPad and iPhone no problem, email works great too. BUT my notes won't sync up to my macbook, I've tried creating a new email account but every time I select the "notes" box I get the same error...
    IF the stupid error is unknown then is there anyone out there that can tell me the mysteries of this magical unknown error so I can access my notes on my computer..please help. The account is a pop account, does that matter, should it be changed to imap? There are heaps of discussions about this and most of them are rabbit trails.

    Which Mac OS and which iOS are you using? Are you having trouble with USB sync or wifi sync or both?

  • I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud

    I downloaded iOS 7 and now my notes won't sync with iCloud.  Also, all of my notes on iCloud aren't on my phone anymore, but they are still on my computer. Can somebody please advise how to fix this issue?  Thank you!

    Sounds like they are being overwritten by the server as soon as you reconnect.  With some effort you may be able to prevent this and recover your notes if you try the steps in Winston Churchill's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22600445#22600445.

  • Notes won't sync between MacBook and iPhone/iPad

    I have my MacBook, iPhone (5S), and iPad (Air) all set up to use the same iCloud account but some of the notes won't stay in sync between the MacBook and IOS devices. Both of the IOS devices stay in sync with each other, but changes I add on the IOS devices doesn't sync to the MacBook and changes on the MacBook don't sync to the IOS devices. Any ideas? I am a new Mac user and can't figure this out. I have read many of the related forums and the answer is almost always "they won't sync if the notes aren't in the iCloud folder" but that isn't my problem. The notes are in the iCloud folder but still won't sync.
    Any ideas?!

    Back up any notes on your Mac that have not been synced to your other devices by opening each note clicking that arrow icon on the bottom right, choosing email this note, then email it to yourself.  When you're done, go to System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, uncheck Notes, restart your Mac, then go back and check Notes again.  Then add a new test note on your Mac and confim that it syncs to iCloud now.  If so, recreate any missing notes by copying and pasting the text from the emails you sent earlier into new notes created in the iCloud account.

  • Ios8 - contact and calendar notes won't sync with Outlook

    After the ios8 upgrade, I have found that any note in either a contact or a calendar entry made on my iphone 5 won't sync with my office Outlook account, nor will any changes made to notes in a Contact in Outlook, update on my phone.  All worked fine pre-ios 8.  Anyone have a solution - have tried deleting accounts, re-booting, etc?  Thanks

    KB23978 should help you with the "calendar not installed" problem
    As for removing the facebook calendar, just go into options > advanced > service books > find "Facebook [CICAL]" and delete it

  • My notes won't sync from a google account with the macbook air, but they sync fine on the ipad air and iphone 4s??

    I keep getting this message when I try to sync my notes in a google account this message keeps popping up... mail couldn't discover the account settings.  My mail shows up, contacts and calendar sync fine, and notes from other emails sync fine.  But this one email will NOT let me sync?????? Any suggestions? 

    Go to Settings>Mail Contacts Calendars
    Scroll down to Mail section and find Show. Selecting something different here may solve your problem. Mine says "50 Recent Messages". You may need more.

  • HT1386 I just loaded the latest version of itunes and now my Outlook notes won't sync and notes no longer appears in the advanced section of the info page

    I just loaded the latest version of itunes and now I cannot sync my notes from Outlook 2010 to my iphone.  Notes no longer appears under the advanced section of the info tab.  Since I have not had luck syncing in the cloud I always check the boxes and tell the sync to sync from my computer to my phone.  Does anyone know how to get this to work.

    When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
    After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
    PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.
    Sorry for any incorrect info, i have an ipod touch, but i've had experience with an ipod

  • Notes won't sync with other devices

    No problems sharing notes, calendar entries, and contacts info until just recently.  Now the Notes app on my MacBook Pro will not connect with the iCloud.  My other devices, iMac, iPhone, and iPad, all communicate with each other with the cloud, but not the MacBook.  When I open Notes in the MacBook it says "updating" forever.  Also, when running the Mail Connection Doctor everything connects ok except for iCloud IMAP.  The details posted 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
    Now, Calendar and Contacts communicate to and from the MacBook through iCloud ok, but still not Notes.  Driving me nuts.  Any ideas? 

    Notes syncing uses IMAP.  Try going to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Notes, choose Delete from Mac (your data will still be in iCloud), restart your Mac, then go back and check Notes again.
    If that doesn't help, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in.  (This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac but not from iCloud.  Your data will download back to your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • Mountain lion notes won't sync with iPhone notes

    I must have a setting messed up but I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and iTunes 11.0 and I want to move the notes I have on my iPhone to my Mac.  I am having trouble syncing the two devices.  I didn't see anything in iTunes 11.0 to force a sync nor did I see anything in the setting of my phone that would solve this issue.

    I have the same problem after updating it 2 days ago, used it for the first time today with my iPhone plugged in for sync.
    I don't think that you messed up anything. This is a terrible user interface. Much harder to use than the privious one. Who approved such a bad one?

  • Notes won't sync between iPhone

    Maybe I need to wipe my phone and reload everything.
    Notes created on my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1) don't sync to my Mac (Lion OS X 10.7.3). Notes created on my Mac sync to the phone, where I can edit them and they will sync back to the Mac.
    I wish I hadn't bought Apple Care to go with this phone... I've put in 4 calls to them and haven't managed to get a single suggestion for what to do or anything to try.
    Is it my imagination or has Apple changed a lot since Steve Jobs died? I used the tell people Apple tech support was excellent but after getting this iPhone my opinion has changed. Forget Apple Care and just use the support communities. You get faster response and better suggestions.

    One other thing to try.  Do you have a Yahoo email account on your phone?  If so, Notes that I create on my iPhone are synchronized to my Yahoo account instead of Mail.  Notes that I create in Mail stay synched in Mail, however!
    To change this, on your iPhone, go to Setting -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> (select your Yahoo account).  Then set Notes to Off.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: This will erase your notes off your phone and from your Yahoo account!  Make sure to email each of your notes somewhere safe (such as to your home email) before making the above change!  Then recreate the notes either on your iPhone (where they will now sync to Mail) or in Mail (where they will sync to your iPhone).

  • HT4191 What do you do if Notes won't sync with iCloud?

    I've set Notes up on my iMac, iphone 5 and iPad (3).   I recall that they used to all sync with icloud just fine....but now, when I add to my Notes on my iphone, it no longer pushs to either my iMac or my iPad.
    I've set everything up according to the directions from Apple...but still they will not push.
    Any suggestions?

    Sounds like they are being overwritten by the server as soon as you reconnect.  With some effort you may be able to prevent this and recover your notes if you try the steps in Winston Churchill's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22600445#22600445.

  • Updated devices to iOS 7, noteworthy my notes won't sync between devices

    Please help. My iMessage and apps have synced between my iPhone 5, and my iPad 3. But my notes which used to sync between my phone and iPad on iOS 6 no longer do. (Both devices on iOS 7.)
    Thanks!

    Have you checked that note syncing is still on at settings > iCloud on both devices.
    Do you know if either device is syncing with iCloud, you can check this at iCloud.com.

  • My iCloud notes won't sync to all my devices, an error to change preferences keeps on appearing although the notes sync box is ticked in iCloud preferences

    Is anybody else having trouble with icloud notes syncing on the mac air to other devices? The preferences are all ticked to sync although an error message to change preferences in Icloud keeps on appearing when I open notes. I have attached a picture of the message I receive

    After 2.5 hours on the phone with Apple last night, I have the solution, and it's incredibly simple: Change your iCloud password. Really...that will fix it. The tech said the password request could be all it needs.
    You'll need to go here: https://appleid.apple.com to reset password.
    Then you should back-up all you contacts, notes, calendars and documents locally. Then log out and back in to your iCloud account. Restart you computer and you should be back in business.
    Sounds simple and stupid, but it fixed the problem for me.
    Hope this helps!
