Issues with iCloud - syncing Notes between iPhone and Macbook

Why won't my Notes sync between my Macbook Pro (Mountain Lion) and my iPhone 5?  The iPhone and the Macbook Pro are both linked to the same account, iCloud is turned on on both, and I've tried signing in and out of iCloud.com, but it doesn't seem to work.

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 I sync Notes between iPhone and Macbook, preferably using a cable?

    I was running Lion before I upgraded to Mavericks.  I would sync notes via iTunes using a cable. 
    My understanding is that you have to use WiFi and iCloud with Mavericks, which if true is a really dumb limitation and a problematic one.  I do not have WiFi at home and often not when traveling.  But I do have a cable and my Macbook.
    Is there no way to sync Notes with a cable?

    At a standstill on a solution so I retried other suggestions I have found on various threads.  I have done this specific process multiple times but luckily this time it worked.  What helped was - on MBP went to Settings > iCloud then unchecked Notes.  Said ok to delete Notes from MBP (my most recent version is on my iPhone).  Waited about 5 min then went back to Settings > iCloud checked Notes, said ok to merge and now my Notes on iPhone and MBP are the same.  Will have to see what happens.  I had my phone connected to MBP vis USB and used wireless during process.  Hope this helps with your problem also.

  • Safari bookmarks not syncing to Mac via iCloud - Syncing works between iPhone and iPad.

    My iPhone and iPad both have the Safari iCloud option set to 'ON' in my devices settings. My bookmarks sync between my iPad and iPhone correctly but bookmarks do not synce between my Mac and my two devices.
    In iTunes, when I have either my iPad or iPhone connected it says: 'Your bookmarks are being synced over the air from iCloud.'
    What setting am I missing to get my bookmarks to sync properly from and too my Mac?

    Go to the Apple menu >> system preferences >> icloud.  Make sure you're logged in with the same apple ID as you are on the other two devices.  If you're already signed in, you can click on Account details to verify that.
    Then, make sure you have safari checked off in the icloud preferences.  If you already do, uncheck them for a minute or so.  Then recheck them.
    See if that helps.

  • Syncing Contacts between iPhone and Macbook

    I recently added contacts on both my iPhone and on my Macbook. However, the new contacts placed on the iPhone won't sync to the address book contacts and the contacts on my Macbook won't sync to my iPhone. How can I go about resolving this problem?

    Assuming you have sync contacts with the Address Book selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, try resetting the sync history on your Mac. This is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application if your Mac is not running Lion.

    Notes sync is turned on right?
    Can you view your iPhone notes online at iCloud.com?
    Sign out/sign in to iCloud on your Mac.

  • Syncing audiobook between iPhone and MacBook

    Hello,
    is it somehow possible to sync the current position of an audiobook between MacBook and iPhone?
    E.g. if I listen to an audiobook on my MacBook and want to continue on my iPhone I need a way to sync the current time.
    Does anyone know, if there's a way?

    Assuming you have sync contacts with the Address Book selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, try resetting the sync history on your Mac. This is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application if your Mac is not running Lion.

  • Sync Mail between iPhone and Macbook?

    I'm brand new to Macs.  I typically read my emails from the Mail app on my iphone.  However, when I open Mail on my macbook, all of those emails that I've already opened are marked as unread.  Does anyone know how I can sync my phone and computer so that everything I open on one device is open on the other device?

    You need an IMAP account.
    With an IMAP account, all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server automatically with each email client used to access the account.
    For received messages with a POP account, there is option to not remove the messages from the server when downloaded by each email client used to access the account. With the Mail.app on a Mac, this is available under the Advanced tab for the account preferences. There is a Never option for POP account preferences with the iPhone's Mail client.
    You can email this message with an attachment to yourself to be received by the Mail.app on your Mac after selecting Never for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the iPhone's Mail client.
    On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Select the POP account.
    Select Advanced for the account settings.
    Under the Incoming Settings section, select Never for delete from server.

  • Syncing emails between iphone and macbook

    E mails currently arrive in my inbox on the Mac, and on the iphone. Can anyone advise what settings I need to use so that when I delete an email from either phone or Mac, it will also delete from the other.
    Thanks

    You are in the wrong forum. This forum is dedicated to Numbers '09. You also have not mentioned what type of mail account it is. Some mail account types cannot be set up to sync, you have to delete emails from each device independently.

  • I cannot sync notes between iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both devices are running iOS 5.0.1.

    I am unable to sync notes between iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both devices are running iOS 5.0.1. Any solution?

    So, my DNS is comming from my ISP.  It's the same list of IP addresses for all our other devices that are working: 2 PC's 2 Laptops, a PS3 and a WII, an iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0 and an iPhone 4 running IOS 5.0.
    The ONLY two devices that are having issues are my iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0.1 and my iPad 2 running IOS 5.0.1.
    Soooooo,  there is something incompatible with my ISP's DNS and IOS 5.0.1? 

  • How to sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?

    Hello,
    How can I sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?
    I'm still using MobileMe, but I will stop soon.
    I'm using my iPhone in India a lot to create new events or to add new contacts. At the end of the day I would like to able to sync it with my MacBookPro without using MobileMe. Internet Connection is often very bad in that area. The iPhone I only use without UMTS and all that Data Transfering stuff. Best for me would be to sync directly by wire or Bluetooth if possible. If you have a solution with and without Internet Connection, that would be very helpfull to me.

    On the Mac, in iTunes with iPhone attached, click on the iPhone section. Go to the "info" tab. There you will see a list of items that can be synced. Make sure that "sync addressbook contacts" is checked, along with the appropriate choices under it.
    Don't know what else to say, it works fine here.
    Hope this helps.

  • What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?

    What setting will make sync make my iPhone and MacBook Pro contact cards alike?  I've been having to key in changes to both devices because sync doesn't sync. 

    If you really are running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and iOS 6.1.3, you should be able to sync through iTunes, but in current releases you need to use a central contact service like iCloud.
    Did you have it working and then not working, or have you never had it working?
    Are you trying to use iTunes, iCloud, or something else?
