IPad Notes Architecture

I'm having difficulty with Notes .. It may be I don't understand it's overall file architecture.
I create notes on all of my devices .. iPad, Mac, iPhone. On my Mac, I use mail.app to create them using my imap account. These show up in my Notes folder there.
But it seems that when I create notes on my iPad using the Notes app, the notes do not synch correctly .. Sort of like they use their own storage, rather than my imap account.
Could someone outline the way Notes on iPad and iPhone integrate file-wise with my Mac Notes, which appear to be mail based?

iTunes does have Notes synch on.
You may have hit on the problem, however: notes I create on iPad do end up synching, but I make notes everywhere! .. iPhone, Mac Book (Mail.app), iPad, .. and because on the Mac Book its mail (IMAP) oriented, I can immediately see them anywhere I have mail, even on a web interface to my IMAP account.
So my expectations were simply this: Notes are managed by mail everywhere. And syncing shouldn't even be necessary: creating a Note on iPhone/iPad should just use a mail back-end, at least as an option.
I do believe my iPad synch is broken in that if I edit a Note that was not created on the iPad, it does not synch.
But I'm starting to think Notes is just broken: it needs to be web based so I'm starting to look for an alternative, possibly Google Docs or an AppStore notes taker that uses either IMAP or similar protocol I can set up on my ISP.
Thanks for the help.

  • IPad not recognized by iTunes

    I have the following problem:
    My new iPad is not connecting to iTunes. When I insert the USB cable I hear the USB-connect sound of windows, but in iTunes nothing happens.
    However my previous iPad and iPhone are connecting without any problems. I followed all the steps in the guide on the Apple Support page, including completely deleting and reinstalling iTunes. Nothing helped.
    My stuff:
    OS: Windows 7
    Itunes: latest version
    iPad with retina display, iOS 6.1 - the new one that will not connect
    iPad 2, iOS 6.1 - connecting without problems
    IPhone 4, iOS 6.1 - connecting without problems
    Can anyone help me and solve this problem of my new iPad not connecting to iTunes?

    I found a solution. It seems that Windows had a setting selected that drivers are not automatically installed if not available on the computer. So I changed this setting and my iPad was immediately recognized.
    For people with the same problem: I went to: Control Panel > Devices and printers. Under Unknown I saw my iPad, so I right clicked and selected: Solve problems. Then it said something about missing drivers so I chose to install them. In addition the problem solve wizard pointed me to the setting in windows that drivers are not automatically installed.

  • 2nd hand ipad not showing as associated device on itunes

    Hi All,
    I bought a 2nd hand Ipad a couple of weeks ago from a shop (all legit). As I'm pretty useless with all things tech they synced most of my pics/vids and music from my Iphone using their computer in-store.  As my Iphone has more space than the I pad, I bought extra ICloud storage (not realising that this wouldn't create more space in the Ipad - told you I'm stupid when it comes to tech stuff!).
    Anyway, after spending saving my pics,vids and music to an external hard drive via Itunes, I then synced my favourites to my Ipad to give me more space. I first noticed that there was a problem when trying to play some of my songs, it would say "this device is already associated an an apple I.d.. if you download past purchases with your id you cannot automatically download past purchases with a different id for 90 days".
    Two issues with this.. The first being that the songs it is saying this for were NEVER purchased from Itunes - they were ripped from c.d's onto my Itunes library (and have always played ok on my Iphone and Ipod shuffle).  Secondly, I have only ever had/used one apple i.d for my computer, Iphone, Ipod shuffle and now this Ipad.  The Ipad has been fine using my apple i.d for everything else.. ie, apps, Itunes store and also buying extra i.cloud storage, so I'm not sure why it is viewing it as a different i.d?
    After looking on my Itunes account I noticed that under "manage devices" it is only showing my Iphone and computer as an associated device (I'm not too bothered that it doesn't show my Ipod shuffle because I only sync my music occasionally on that). Is this because it's second hand, and if so what can I do about it? Although I bought this primarily so I can view my pics and home vids on a larger screen than my phone, I don't want to worry about losing music from Itunes if it's viewing my Ipad as belonging to someone else, or an authorised device etc. By the way, the shop I bought the Ipad from is legit, they ask for proof of ownership before buying anything - this Ipad was one someone received free as part of a phone upgrade before selling it so it can't be an issue with being blocked etc.
    Thanks - any help and/or advice on how I can sort this out would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for replying Ralph,,
    I just tried that - still no difference. Ipad not showing up as an associated device on itunes, and on my Ipad when I try to turn automatic downloads on it comes up with the same message.. already associated with an apple ID.. 90 days etc etc.
    It makes no sense as the extra icloud storage (and the money they've taken from me to pay for it) has been done using this ipad, my usual apple id and payment details and has been synced to my itunes account (which is associated with my id and authorised). If you have any other ideas (or alternatively know which dept I should contact in Apple) I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks :-)

  • Why is my iPad not able to download mail for hours at a time while the iPhone next to it has no problem?

    Why is my iPad not able to download mail when the iPhone next to it can and the iPad may be able to do it 24 hours later with no change in settings?  This happens with multiple email accounts at the same time in several locations on many occasions.  The setting is to check emails every 15 minutes.   It says it is checking but nothing comes up while it does on my Mac or iPhone

    I have exactly the same problem here.
    Can see new email appearing straight away on the iPhone and Windows pc, but very erratic on the iPad.  Sometimes the emails appear immediately on the iPad, other times they don't appear for hours. 
    One thing I have noticed if I go and change the "delete messages - remove" setting to something other than what it was set (for instance from "never" to "one month") it seems to jiggle something and the outstanding emails all suddenly appear.

  • Ipad not recognized in itunes

    I'm sick of this....iPad is recognized by Windows 7 PC, but not in iTunes. Latest versions of all software - Windows 64 bit, iTunes 64 bit. I uninstall iTunes and reinstall, and it recognizes my iPad, but after computer shutdown and reboot, it's back to the same problem. I thought apple was supposed to be great?

    Hello Netski1961,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    I have 2 recommendations here. First from article iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430:
    Restarting your iOS device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If you are unable to continue, try resetting the phone with this from the same article:
    Resetting your device
    If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • ICC Profiles:  Does the iPad not recognise them?

    Is the iPad not colour aware in the sense that it recognises and uses ICC profiles embedded in images?
    Secondly, it's a great shame the display can not be calibrated. So much for portfolio display or any work that is colour sensitive.

    I.didn't say anything about editing. The photo app is Apple app for displaying photos.
    Somebody needs to write and app to calibrate the monitor. The problem with this is third party apps can't run in the background. So Apple would have to make it a system preference. They would be the one to make this happen.
    You could write a feedback to Apple requesting this feature:
