Notes app not syncing properly

I have Yosemite on a Macbook Pro and an iPhone with iOS 8.1 installed.
My notes are on my iPhone and on iCloud.com
My notes are in the Notes app on my mac too, however, many of them are blank. The list of notes is correct and complete, but when clicking on the notes, many are blank.
I have signed in and out of iCloud multiple times on all devices and have specifically turned on and off syncing for Notes in iCloud settings many times.
Syncing seems to work fine with new notes created on either my phone or Mac and edits work.
EDIT: I realized I could try adding a space on my iPhone to each note that showed as blank on my Mac to initiate a sync. Sure enough, the notes successfully updated and were no longer blank. I had under 10 notes, so it wasn't a big deal, but I am posting this nevertheless as a bug report for Apple.

Try a Restart.
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. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

My ipod touch is not syncing properly. I have updated the software to the latest (2.2.1) and have even resored it. Itunes says it is working and updated but will not sync and apps. Error message says that app will not sync because a newer version needed

The reminders app in my iPhone and the reminders in Mac are not syncing properly

I use the Reminders app and Notes app extensively to keep track in both my Mac and iPhone. However the reminders app in my phone does not immediately sync when i made changes in my Mac and later when i make a change in my iphone Reminders, it over writes the reminders in Mac. Please help so that my work syncs smoothly from Mac to iPhone and vice versa without any loss of information, just as Apple advertises and takes pride in being able to do so.

There are a couple threads out there with this issue. I had the same problem. Try this link for the answer...
Re: Reminders not syncing properly with iCloud and iOS 8
At the bottom - one person has the answer...On your iPhone remove your iCloud account. Then add it back. It's not as painful as it sounds it only took me less than 5min to add everything back

Not Syncing Properly with Gmail

Hello fellow Mac owners/fans,
I am new to Snow Leopard. Just upgraded from Tiger today. Such a nice improvement! Anyways, as such, I was setting everything up when I ran into a problem with Mail
Mail is not syncing properly with Gmail. My Gmail account has roughly 5800 total messages and 1900 unread messages (I need to clean it up quite a bit, I know ). Mail shows it as having 8500 total messages and 2200 unread messages. Mail is quite wrong. I don't know if I accidentally fetched some of the Gmail files twice, or what, but I would like for Mail to be correctly synced with Gmail.
Any ideas on what to do? Is there a quick fix or am I going to have to reset Mail?
I very much appreciate any help! Thanks for your time!
-Kyle

Hello,
You may have the dreaded double download disease. I was just fighting the bug this morning, and may have a cure that I am hoping some other guinea pig will test.
You may want to check and see if you see duplicate emails in Mail. If you want to know more about the issue you can search duplicate emails.
Anyway the secret medicine if it is a duplicate issue may be below. (It seems to be working for my issue, but am trying to get some other confirmation)
I came across an old hint (from 2001 at Mac OS X hints)
It states:
Avoid receiving duplicate emails in Mail.app
Sun, Dec 23 2001 at 9:54AM PST • Contributed by: NikWest
There is a hidden default for Mail, which I do not think has been mentioned here. You can avoid receiving duplicate Messages (e.g. from mailing lists) by opening a Terminal and typing:
defaults write com.apple.mail UniqueMessagesBeforeRouting 1
Before receiving the whole message, the message ID (a mail header) will be checked. If there's already a mail with this message ID, it will be discarded.
To disable the feature, repeat the command with a '0' at the end instead of a '1'.
This seems to work for now, any one else willing to try?
Good luck

I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

I updated to new ios and now it is not syncing properly. New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs. It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

ICal not syncing properly w/ iPod Touch

I believe this is an iCal problem, not an iPod issue:
My new iPod Touch is not syncing properly with my iCal calendars. I notice after syncing "All Calendars" that some of my appointments in iCal were showing up, but most were not. And some events on my iPod were not on my laptop. I tried the "Replace Information" option under Info in iTunes, but it didn't help. Then I noticed something even weirder -- the list of Calendars that appears in the "Selected Calendars" list in iTunes is NOT my current set of calendars. The iTunes list includes some calendars that I have deleted or renamed, and is missing some new ones. So I guess I'm not surprised by the events being out of sync, but how can this be? How can iTunes be picking up an obsolete set of calendars and events?
I tried a backup within iCal, then deleted every calendar one-by-one, leaving just a new calender named "empty". I quit iCal and iTunes, and also deleted four files in my Prefs folder and the iCal folder in Application support. Then I did restored from my iCal backup, and quit and restarted both iCal and iTunes. After all that, iTunes still shows the old list of calendars.
I'll also mention that iCal itself has been very squirrelly for quite a long time. Every so often it will just "run away", chewing up CPU and memory until I force-quit. Haven't solved that one, yet, either.
Any suggestions?

PROBLEM SOLVED: I backed up my iCal data (from within iCal); quit; deleted all prefs, iCal cache files, and the whole Calendars folder in my Library; then relaunched iCal and Restored from my backup file. iTunes then showed the correct list of calendars when I connected my iPod touch, and I got a proper sync. Who knows, maybe this will also fix the frequent runaway crashes I've been having.

Sync between MacBookPro and iPhone 3G does not sync properly. Calendars duplicate events but worse is that only contacts from Address book from letter T onwards sync. Any contacts on iPhone which are not on Mac are lost during sync.

Solutions?

No, I never really found an easy solution. I believe it is an issue with some corruption in the iTunes database on the specific device. In my case, both my iPad and iPhone now show duplicate stream songs if viewed through iTunes on my Mac, but they show different songs. A couple years ago I had a similar issue on my iPhone, and Apple support suggested I back up the phone, completely reset it, and then restore it from the backup. It did work, so I imagine it would probably work for my current issues with the iPhone and iPad. But resetting and restoring an iPad or iPhone always makes me a little nervous that something will get lost. When I did reset/restore the iPhone, I do have to say, the restore process was 100% perfect and I did not lose any data at all even though Apple support said I might. If you try to go that route, I would suggest backing the device up both to a computer through iTunes, and to the iCloud so that you have a double backup.
None of this really resolves the issue with how the iTunes databases are becoming corrupted on the apple devices though, so it is very likely to happen again until they fix it. I have been unable to determine if there were any specific actions or conditions which caused the corruption to happen in the first place.
Might be worth another call to Apple support, or dropping in the local Apple store if you have one near by.

My ipod touch is not syncing properly.

My Ipod touch is not syncing properly. I download podcasts and it will not allow me to delete some shows after they have been listened to. It is a neverending cycle of deleting unwanted podcast episodes from itunes on the computer, plugging in my ipod, syncing, and then it always takes the already listened to episodes, and puts them back into itunes on the comp. I then delete them on the comp again, sync the ipod, and it again pulls them over from the ipod. I have it set up to only sync unlistened to episodes, and beyond that, only checked things, but it does not seem to matter. The only thing I can do to get the episodes off the ipod for good is to do a factory reset, and that absolutely should not be necessary! Any ideas for something I am not seeing that is allowing this to continually happen? This just started happening a couple of months ago. Not sure what changed, but would like it fixed! Thanks for any ideas in advance!

I have a similar problem, all since the ios update i think, my podcasts do not seem to sync, I have a song purchase via the ipod which no longer plays (just sits on the screen) this also doesnt sync back to itunes.
Its a complete mess. Seems everytime Apple push out an update my ipod becomes less useable.

My itunes match will not sync properly

Mac User same thing
Hello there here is my problem. My itunes match will not sync properly. It shows a lot of songs over 100 with the icloud match status as "Waiting"
Here is what i have done
1. Reinstall the entire OS delete everything and start from scratch
2. Turn on and off itunes match.
3. Hold down the option key
4. Move my music out of the music folder clear everything out of my itunes and bing back my music.
5. Use backup copies of my music in case the music files had been corrupted.
6. Checked numerious mac community forms that report simular issues.
7. Tried another macbook pro that I have
8. My wifes account which has about 8000 songs did no have the issue. My account seems to have the issue sobeservices2. I beleive this to be account specific. My account has 11481 songs and about 100 to 100 show with the status of "waiting"
9. I get no error messages
10. I've tried multiple ISP - COMCAST - FIOS - I even tried multiple computers
11. Redid the entire os
12. My account has problems "*****s2" but my wife account does not
13. Replicated the issue on more then one computer it seems only has problems with my itunes account. Suck waiting to upload
and its not always the same songs sometimes it's different songs that it gets suck waiting to upload.
14. Removed the waiting songs and attempted again
15. Started with fresh iTunes had the server match a blank itunes folder to the point where it said "0 Songs Match" then re-added them
16. Called Apple Care and spoke with a Senior Advisor who told me he would have to escalate a ticket and he to thought I had done all the tsing possible and that it was up to the engineers to figure out a solution.
I have been working on this for about 4 weeks now. All my trouble shooting has pointed it to be an account specific issue.
Any advise from the community

Hi
I have had a similar set of issues. 8000 songs, 800 in waiting. All ripped from CD into Apple Lossless - mainly classical so most didn't match directly.
First I ripped all these 8000 songs for my father first on his laptop from his CD collection. Eventually got them all matched or uploaded to his Match account (except one) by the usual tricks people suggest (e.g. recoding as AIFF or MP3 etc, deleting, re-adding blah blah). Though of course I shouldn't really have to waste my time doing this. One song absolutely refused to upload. Tried everything - including buying a pristine downloadable version off the publisher's website. Still resolutely refuses to upload.
Anyway - main problem is now with my PC. I copied all these 8000 tracks over. Re-installed everything etc. 800 remain in "waiting" (even though they uploaded Ok on a different account). When I rip my own CDs even some common stuff (e.g. Bowie/Stones) gets uploaded instead or matched and often with one or two tracks stuck in 'waiting'.
If I then look at my IPad (with Match enabled), it will show these waiting tracks as if they were already downloaded to it (which of course they are not). If I try and play one of them it just skips over it.

My iPod Touch 5th Generation will not sync properly

I plug on my iPod Touch like normal and its backs up all the files, but every time I try to "sync" it, it will not sync properly. I added a few songs (not boughten off of iTunes) and they will not sync on my iPod. My iTunes is up to date and so is my iPod Touch. What is going on?

My iPad is not syncing properly with my calendar on my computer. Everything is a day off on the IPad. Any suggestions?

My iPad calendar is not syncing properly with my computer. Everything in the iPad Calendar is one day off....any suggestions?

Susan,
Also note that the calender can be set to preserve a time zone by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and turning ON Time Zone Support - but then your flight times will be correct for the local time zone...found that one while on travel and the calender was showing a flight time that was an hour earlier than I thought it was. I had not turned on Time Zone support and it moved the time I had entered at home to the time of the local zone.
Convenient as long as you pay attention

One of my ipods is not syncing properly. System says sync is complete but the updates aren't being made. Can I correct this?

After downloading iTones 10.5.1, the artwork matchs the song that is playing on my iMac but the artwork does not sync properly on my Apple TV. The artwork lags one cover behind. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem.

I think it is just a bug, but it in very frustrating. I was using just now for about an hour and suddenly the correct artwork appeared for what was playing....but then all went wrong again!!
Apple, please, please issue a patch for this. It surely cannot be too complicated to correct.

Photos do not sync properly

I am having some curious trouble with photos syncing properly from an iPhoto album to my iPhone 3GS.
I have an album with 6 photos. I edited all six photos in iPhoto using "Edit in External Editor". After editing and saving, the photos show in the iPhoto event the way I want them, as well as in the album in question.
However, when I sync the phone in iTunes, the photos in the album show up as before they were edited. They do not sync properly. They look fine in iPhoto, but not on the phone.
I have tried the following things to make this work.
I have deleted all the photos in the album, unchecked the album in iTunes under Photos, and synched. Then I added the edited photos to the album again, checked the album in iTunes under Photos and synched again. This did not work. The photos still show up as before the edit.
I unchecked the album again in iPhoto, synched the phone and then did a reset of the phone by pressing the sleep/wake button and the Home button at the same time and waiting until the Apple logo appeared again. I then checked the album in iTunes again, and synched. This also did not work.
Lastly, I deleted the album entirely in iPhoto, and recreated the album from again by choosing the edited photos in question inside the event, and then hitting the "+" button in the lower left of the iTunes window. This also did not work.
The weird thing is, that I have also edited at least one other photo in a differnt album, which then synched properly.
I hope somebody has an idea as to how to fix this.

look, in all these 2000 things you tryed there is one thing i don't thing you did actually try, which is to rename the photos in the album.
This did not work either.
sometimes it may hapen that you cannot sync properly if you have strange names or sometimes the itunes doe not see the files properly.
Strange names? What do you consdider to be strange names? "Sometimes iTunes does not see the files properly"? Where do you get that idea?
try renaming 'em and see if it works. you can also rename the folder with the photos.
Renaming the photos does not work. Renaming the event (that is what you mean I think) does not work either.
also, another thing; try to select your photos in iphoto and take them off with the mouse and put them in a folder in some other location in teh computer (like for example the desktop) and sync them from taht location in itunes, it may help.cheers!
This is complete nonsense. Photos have to be in an album in iPhoto in order to be synched with the iPhone via iTunes. Putting photos anywhere else on the computer does not allow them to be synched with the phone. They must be in iPhoto.
