New iCloud Notes Sync: Advice Needed

Signing on to my iCloud account this morning I now have Notes and Reminders files, as I expected to find them. Looking first at the Reminders file, I found all my Reminders, completed and open, over 350 of them. Everything looks great and I really like the ability to amend them on my iMac. Great!
I opened the Notes file hoping to find all the (many) notes I have on my iPhone and iPad. Nope, not there! Upon further investigation, it seems I created those notes on the two devices using my Gmail account. I did not realize I was doing that, but now on the iPhone under Accounts I find three listed: Gmail, iCloud and my dot me account. The iCloud account shows zero notes, the Gmail has a great many and the dot me account has three.
My question for the group is, how can I move ALL my notes over to the iCloud account and going forward be assured I am creating new notes using the iCloud account so I can utilize the versatility of this new service? (I can tell you that my notes have been synchronized between the iPhone and iPad. Thus, I assumed I had been using iCloud all along and iCloud Notes has been enabled on both mobile devices all along.)

Okay, I have tested the system since updating my iPhone and iPad to IOS 6. As mentioned above, I set the default on both devices for future Notes to be iCloud. I created a note on my iPhone and it did show up on the iPad (completely expected that as that has been happening all along) AND it showed up online via my iMac by going to my iCloud account.
So, this question remains and is now refined to be -
How can I transfer all Notes created via other platforms (Gmail or my Dot Me account) to the Cloud?

ICloud not syncing IE bookmarks from PC

iCloud not syncing IE bookmarks from PC
I don't even use IE but since the Firefox app won't open the bookmarks in Safari, I thought I'd just copy my Firefox bookmarks to IE, then use the cloud sync. (I am syncing and backing up to iCloud, and not my PC)
I did this all last night: backed up and then synced to iCloud Another thread suggested that you shut down IE so I did that. Someone else had suggested on a different thread that un-checking and re-checking the Bookmark check box in the iCloud Control panel would trigger a re-sync...did that all last night in hopes it would sync and it didn't.
I manually deleted everything in the Safari bookmarks in the Phone that it would allow, but now strangely enough in addition to the "Reading List" and "history" folders, I have TWO "Bookmarks Bar" folders with identical contents.
So I'm trying to be patient and thought maybe it takes some time for it to re-sync so I left iTunes up and running on the PC overnight...as usual....so I tried again this evening. I still have my old bookmarks on the iPhone (4S), and they've never pulled in.
Thoughts?

Gee, I don't know what to tell you....I can open IE, add a folder, resync my iPhone to the iCloud, and the new folder appears. I even tried it while leaving IE open (I had read on another thread that closing it might help, but it had no adverse impact on my ability to sync).
Well, all I can suggest is to give Safari a try, or use the Firefox app (unfortunately it's a multi-step process to open a link through Safari, but that might not bother you)
Or, just run through these checkpoints one more time to make sure nothing is missed.
Are you running Windows 7 or later, and have you downloaded the iCloud Control panel for Windows?

Do you have Bookmarks turned on in iCloud settings on your iOS device?
You may have done exactly this, but if not, give this a try (and may help others in the future)
Deselect Bookmark syncing in the iCloud control panel     on your PC.
Deselect iCloud Bookmarks on your iOS device. It should     then prompt you to take action with the previously synced bookmarks on     your device. Choose "Delete from my iPhone (or whatever delete option     it gives you).
Sync manually to the cloud through your iOS device. You should have no bookmarks on your device.
Now turn everything back on...
In the iCloud control panel, re-select     Bookmarks/Internet Explorer
on your iOS device, re-enable iCloud Bookmark Syncing
Now manually back up your iOS device to iCloud

Why does iCloud not sync mail rules?

This seems like a no brainer. When I view my email on my Iphone, I see all my Spam, which would already be dispatched to the Junk box on my desktop, had I looked there first. Why does iCloud not sync my Mail rules, and is there a solution for this?

It is not Mac to Mac.
Why not look up iCloud support, it was never offered as anything outside iOS 5 supported devices.
Maybe if you would stop reading into things what isn't there.

ICloud not syncing when you change default folder

Hi,
there seems to be an issue with iCloud not syncing photostream when you choose a different folder to store your pictures. Though if you'd still like to have your photostream pictures in a different folder, use my solution:
1. Close all apple executables from task manager (ApplePhotStreams.exe, iCloudServices.exe)
2. Remove C:\Users\<Username>\Pictures\iCloud Photos
3. Create a symbolic link to the folder you'd like to use:
     Start a command prompt, and use the following command to create a symbolic link:
     mklink "C:\Users\<Username>\Pictures\iCloud Photos" "<newpath>"
     Where <newpath> is the path where you'd like to store your pictures.
4. Start iCloud and sign out
5. sign in again and apply settings
6. Enjoy!

No, what I am saying is that the ones that have it on by default seem to work properly. The ones that you have to go in and enable the feature do not seem to save to iCloud once that option has been enabled. I've ran into several:
Don't save to iCloud (Have to go in an toggle the setting)
Anomaly Warzone HD
Zombieville USA
Cut the Rope experiments
DO save to iCloud (Setting is on by default)
Bards Tale
Batman Arkham lockdown
The Incident
Infinity Blade

ICloud not syncing anymore on Mac

Hello everybody,
I use iCloud for saving all my documents and files with nearly all compatible applications. Theses last weeks, I saw that iCloud stopped syncing my GarageBand projects. The new projects show "Waiting..." and the old ones are greyed out and can't be opened. I tried to manage my iCloud Storage under System Preferences but I can't see files that are on my iCloud account. This issue is bothering me because it means that I'll loose all my files if something goes wrong as they are not saved on the cloud. Notes is syncing very well between my iPod and my Mac. I tried to disconnect my iCloud account and reconnected it but nothing helps.
I need your advice...Thank you !

Can it be, that the GarageBand .app is still open on your iPod? Then the sync will be waiting.
What happened directly before this problem started? Did you update or upgrade any software?
Which versions of GarageBand and operating systems are you using on your Mac and on your iPod?
On your Mac you'll find the GarageBand iCloud projects in your user library. Open the folder
~/Library/Mobile Documents/
and check the subfolders
~/Library/Mobile Documents/some-cryptic-code~com~apple~garageband10
and
~/Library/Mobile Documents/some-cryptic-code~com~apple~mobilegarageband
These folders contain the projects that are synced to iCloud, and they are also included in your TimeMachine backups. If you backup to TimeMachine, or use clones to backup your system, you should be able to restore these projects from the backup.
You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house) in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
Enable "Show Library Folder".
Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to ~/Library/Mobile Documents

New Photos not sync'ing to iTunes

I think this happened before... I noticed that the Photos on Mac is changed. Though I don't really like the interface, I am trying to get used to it... however, once again, the photos are not sync'ing properly to iTunes... I need help... For example: there are more number of photos on my laptop after importing from my phone... Then I grouped them into different Events. However, I am not seeing these being sync back into my phone via the iTunes.
I happened before, and for some reasons, it get fixed by itself. DO you acknowledge these is a problem?

HI,
Maybe try it this way this is what I did with mine because I did not migrate and didn't know about that either.
and really have the sidebar so because it will help you get the pictures organized
Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
For Duplicates if you have a big pile in a row and I mean not like every other picture of the same pictures on the keyboard Hold down the shift button. or the other way is to Hold down the Command buttom that is right by the space bar then on the trackpad or mouse click once on the picture you want to delete and do a bunch at a time then on the last picture of that pile either right click the picture and delete or go up to the edit button which is next to file on the top left and click delete in edit.
when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings.

Icloud not syncing photos HELP

Since one day my iPad New Gen isnt syncing the photos that I take with my iPhone, I researched information and the configuration of my icloud and my devices is correct. NOTE: I have the folder of PhotoStream but no with the new ones... Can someone help me PLEASE!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.

ICloud not syncing Bookmarks _BAR_

So iCloud is a fail so far - 2 Macs (one a home, one a work) and they are not syncing bookmarks. At least not any bookmarks in the Menu Bar. But I keep ALL my bookmarks in the menu Bar.
Anyone have a clue when iCloud will be able to sync all bookmarks between Macs?

This iCloud sync problem has been resolved... (at least on my two Apple devices).....
My iPhone would not sync the bookmarks or bookmarks bar from my iMac. I have a new iPhone 4s that I just purchased recently and my iMac is about a year old. My iMac was using the latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard operating system.
I did some research and discovered that in order for iCloud to work properly (to sync bookmarks and the bookmarks bar) between my new iPhone and older iMac that I needed to purchase and install Apple's newest operating system: OS X Lion. I purchased and downloaded the newest version OS X Lion, (version 10.7.2) and now iCloud works flawlessly between my two Apple devices.
Apparently iCloud does not work properly with Apple's older operating systems, though iCloud did sync my contacts, calendars and reminders it would not sync my bookmarks or bookmarks bar until I upgraded the operating system on my iMac to OS X Lion.
It's a shame that I had to pay for and download a whole new operating system on my iMac before the iCloud system would work correctly on both of my Apple devices but at least now iCloud works the way it is supposed to.
I hope this info helps others with the same problem I was having with iCloud bookmarks.

ICloud not syncing on all devices

iCloud is not syncing any documents I make through pages, whether I create the document on my iPad, iPhone or my Macbook Air. It says it is syncing, but never does. I started a document earlier this week on my Mac and finished it on this last Friday, and only 2/3 of it is available on my other devices. I created a new document on my iPhone today and it is still syncing, or trying to.
Devices and computers have been restarted and checked. I have enough storage. I would think that I cloud is experiencing issues but Apple is showing green lights across the board.
Is anybody else experiencing any issues? or maybe have a solution?

To change the iCloud account you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
If the old ID is not an earlier version of your new ID and your password is not accepted when you delete the account, you will have to contact the Apple account security team for assistance resetting the password: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

Is there a way to have iCloud NOT sync rules in Mountain Lion Mail?

My wife and I each have our own MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion and we share an iPad on iOS 6. We use OS X Mail as our mail client for our accounts on our ISP mail service. We have iCloud enabled on all three devices but we have Mail disabled on all three.
Every time either of us makes a change to a Mail rule on our MacBook, it is pushed to the other MacBook. But we need different rules since we have multiple mail accounts and have different interests in each of them. I finally noticed by clicking the little ? icon in the rules window that the rules are synced if you have Documents and Data selected in iCloud NOT Mail. We also use iWork on all three devices so we want Documents and Data enabled for sharing documents between the devices.
So is there a way to keep from screwing up each other's Mail rules without losing access to our iWork documents??? The only thing we have come up with is prefacing every rule name with our initials so for example my rule can file a message and hers can move it to Trash. But this is also a pain since you cannot sort the rules by name in the rules window.

Hello Tom:
To my knowledge, no.
