Notes.app in Mountain Lion leaves multiple messages on Google Gmail account!?

Hello, I've set up the Notes app in Mountain Lion (10.8.2) to sync with Google Gmail Notes and I've come across something rather peculiar. I typed a Note into the Note app, it created a message in the Gmail account with the label "Notes" like I read it was supposed to do. (I'm still baffled why they designed the Notes sync this way but that is besides the point.) Then I proceed to update the note in the app and it updated the note in Gmail. I though, "sweet, it's working," so I began typing away. After imputing a bunch of notes into the Notes app, I went over to Gmail and clicked on "All Mail" and to my surprise there were HUNDREDS of partial messages left behind by the Notes app! Apparently everytime a note is updated and the Notes app syncs with Gmail (which is every few seconds), it creates a new message.
I know that a work-around solution is to just use iCloud, but I haven't found an easy way to sync up iCloud Notes with an Android. I know, I know, I should just get an iPhone and call it a day, but for those that use Gmail Notes, has anyone found a solution? It's so annoying!!
(I wonder if Apple did this on purpose so users will switch to the much easier iCloud and iPhone. Hmmmm.)

Good day all,
I had the similar issue. I did the following to recover my notes before the upgrade:
You need to locate the StickiesDatabase under your Library folder.
Once you have a copy of your StickiesDatabase under
/Users/<insert_your_home_directory>/Library/StickiesDatabase
Export stickies created by Stickies.app
Install National Velocity (NV) - http://notational.net/ and start the application
In Finder open your Library folder and locate StickiesDatabase
Drag StickiesDatabase into the list of notes in NV main window
After you are able to see your notes in NV, it is up to you how to transfer them to Apple Notes. You could export as HTML/RTF etc or copy paste manually... I have decided to use NV from now on.
The instructions above is from the following page:

Mail Badges Do Not Clear in Mountain Lion (and Missing Messages)

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my new message badges do not clear automatically after reading my email. If I get 5 new messages, and then read them all the app shows the message itself as being read, but the badge next to the account and in the dock shows 5 new message.
Also, sometimes Mail will not show any messages when I switch accounts or folders. I have to close the app and reopen to see my messages.

You could try deleteing and re adding your mail account. But make sure your account type is "IMAP" before doing so. If it is a "POP" account, you will loose all of your messages so it is important you make sure the account type is IMAP before deleting and re adding.

Existing IMAP notes not available in notes app after mountain lion installation

After today's mountain lion upgrade (from lion) my notes stored on an IMAP server are not available in the new notes app. The folder of the IMAP Account itself is shown but appears empty. On my Iphone all notes of the IMAP Account are shoen correctly as well as on another mac still running lion.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Okay, I assume there are some different reasons for the syncing problem.
I got my notes syncing again by just losing the prefix on my iPhone and renaming the existing notes folder. For those with a similar problem, here's how:
Old situation:
Within OS X Lion I used a Gmail account with notes (IMAP). To avoid a messy layout with the Gmail folders I used [Gmail] as IMAP Path Prefix (found under Accounts, tab Advanced).
Under iOS5, 'Notes' was ticked on under the Gmail account. The result: Apple created a IMAP folder '[Gmail]/Notes' to store all notes.
New situation:
After upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion I ticked 'Notes' under the Gmail account within system prefs, 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars'. The new Notes app remained empty and didn't show my existing notes that were still on my iPhone.
Logging in to www.gmail.com reveiled a new folder created by Mountain Lion: 'Notes'. The existing notes folder was named '[Gmail]/Notes' - because I used the [Gmail] prefix - and contained al the existing notes.
So Mountain Lion syncs with the IMAP folder 'Notes' and the iPhone syncs with the folder '[Gmail]/Notes'
In Lion the Mail settings were used for both Mail and Notes. So the IMAP prefix applied to both.
In Mountain Lion, the IMAP prefix only applies to Mail, not to Notes.
New situation, fixed:
As Mountain Lion can only use a folder called 'Notes' for syncing, I had to change the folder my iPhone was syncing with: '[Gmail]/Notes'. I removed the newly created folder 'Notes' via www.gmail.com under the label settings and renamed label '[Gmail]/Notes' to 'Notes'. After that I removed the IMAP prefix '[Gmail]' from my iPhone Gmail (advanced) account settings, making the iPhone sync notes with the folder 'Notes' instead of '[Gmail]/Notes'. That's it.
Btw, I maintained the use of the prefix within Apple Mail under Mountain Lion as that is totally separated from the Notes section.
Hope this helps.

Anyone having RAM issues with Notes.app on Mountain Lion?

I have installed ML a couple different times. All is well except for Notes. Once Notes is running and after it has synced therough iCloud there is a process that continues to run named "com.apple.NotesMigratorService" and it gobbles up RAM until there is no space left on the drive. The last time I watched in Activit Monitor and killed it but within a few minutes it would start up again. Currently, after running Notes, killing the process twice then quitting Notes, and now some 20 minutes later, I have ...
183,217 Page Ins
4,380,504 Page Outs
Last time all the drive got eaten I had ...
687,422 Page Ins
15,363,792 Page Outs
MacBook Pro (early 2011)
2.2 GHz i7
8 GB RAM
256 GB SSD

This issue is a big problem on my Mac, I can only imagine that it's affecting many more people than the few who've posted in this forum. 'timothylance' has indicated that Apple has contacted him and they're running diagnostics/addressing the issue. I certainly hope so.
This problem is affecting my early 2009/dual quad-core Mac Pro. I had two notes on my iPhone before I installed Mountain Lion. The notes were sync'd to my Mac, two MacBook Pros, and my iPad. I installed ML on my two MacBook Pros, and didn't notice any problems.
When I finally installed ML on my Mac Pro, I noticed a lot of hard drive activity. Applications were locking up left and right (I was running out of RAM). Eventually I had to kill a bunch of applications, and the hard drive activity was still high. I restarted the computer and had the same problems. Eventually, a window pops up stating that you've run out of 'disk space'. I checked the Activity monitor and saw that the 'com.apple.NotesMigratorService' had eaten up all my available Real (RAM) and Virtual Memory (Hard disk space availabe to use as Virtual RAM/swap space).
You can use the 'Activity Monitor' application to locate and Force Kill (quiting doesn't seem to work/help) the 'com.apple.NotesMigratorService'. This should immediately frees up the Real and Virtual memory being eaten up by this process. A Force Kill also stops the process from restarting, until you launch/restart one of the applications which triggers the activation of this 'com.apple.NotesMigratorService' process.
So far (in my experience), it seems that the following actions trigger the activation of the 'com.apple.NotesMigratorService'
- Launching the Notes application.
- Launching the System Preferences application and accessing the iCloud preference. (Note: My Notes preference in the iCloud pane is checked/synched, but I can't get Mail checked/synched via iCloud. This may be unrelated/a different problem.)
- Launching the System Preferences application and accessing the Mail, Contacts & Calendars preference.
(FYI - In Safari 6.0 the bulleted list view doesn't display properly. The paragraph above was drafted/originally posted as a bulleted list, but appears without any indentation or list bullets when viewed in Safari 6.0. I edited it to add hyphens and hard breaks to simulate a list view.)
Hopefully Apple will patch this soon. I find it extremely annoying that I have to continuously monitor my 'Activity Monitor' to watch for this process. If I find additional triggers for the process, I'll reply to my entry here.

How do i get the notes on my iphone to the notes app in mountain lion

Upgraded to Mountain lion. I have an iphone 4S. In Lion i had all my notes synched and viewable in the Mail app as (on my mac). Now all the notes from "on my mac" are gone but they are still on my iphone under "on my iphone". I cant seem to figure out how to synch my notes to get all my notes from the Iphone in the notes app on my macbook. any ideas?
Thanks

Notes between devices sync with icloud so if you signing in in icloud in iOS and choose icloud as default account the new notes you create should sync and appear in your computer.
About the ones on my mac try use my mac by default then and/or sign out and in with icloud may then they sync but no sure ..
In the future better use just icloud.

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my AOL messages sometimes, but not always open with a blank page. If I open AOL in Firefox, the messages open fine. This does not happen with any messages by any means, and it is not any type of certain message. In fact, in the same screen I can often open an email from the same sender with email intact. This is weird. Sometimes I close the page and open a new page. Sometimes that works and sometimes it does not. It is a very annoying thing.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

Hello royalaqua,
I do think you should ask yourself if upgrading to Lion is the right course to take.
Snow Leopard is an excellent OS and Lion has literally been frozen out after barely a year. Remember too that some of your apps may not work with Lion (those that have Rosetta, for example) so that could mean more new purchases. Plus you may need to uprate your RAM too.

How to configure Mail app on mountain lion to not download all my emails in hotmail server. I need only just 1-2 weeks

Try going to the web based site and see if you can set up a temporary folder there. Move anything you don't want to download to that folder.

App Store not showing OSX Mountain Lion as already purchased.

I previously purchased OSX Mountain Lion and now need to redownload the installer. When I go to the App Store, Mountain Lion shows as needing to be purchased again. What is going on?

If you have made purchases in the past, but do not show any purchases on the Purchases pane, then you are likely not signed into your account. You sign in and out of your account in the Store pulldown menu of the Mac App Store toolbar.
If you don't see View Hidden Purchases you haven't hidden any.

App store does not function since mountain lion upgrade

Like others I am continuinly getting an account error message ("cannot verify a secure connection with the app store") on logging on to the app store since upgrading to Mountain Lion. I am using an admin account and other suggested remedies have had no effect. The option to "cancel or continue" gives a black screen with either option. Is there any solution to this?
