Notes not syncing iCloud

I've been reading a few posts on here & get the general gist - However.  I am rather worried about getting duplicate entries so want to be sure about the correct process before proceeding.
1) I have a MacBook Pro - runnig Lion - tried the USB sync too & ended up with duplicates on my iPhone
2) iPhone 4S & iPad 3
Notes from my MacBook were not syncing properly with the iPad or the iPhone & seem to be duplicating - I tried turning them off & on - but it seems that the notes are not on the cloud any more.
Everything else is working perfectly, so don't want to break anything further..
If I deleted my account from the iPad & the iPhone - do I select:
A) Keep on my iPad/Iphone or
B) Delete from my iPad/Iphone
I suspect it's B - but really want to be sure.
Many  Thanks
M

Thanks to a post by Winston Churchill - I figured this out!
I just dragged my notes across from my Mac Notes to the iCloud Notes Account & hey presto back in the room.
Thanks

  • Beware: icloud control panel DOES NOT WORK for icloud email

    Opposing evidence is welcome. Please comment.
    After dozens of hours, emails and chat sessions with both MS and Apple tech support (the latter escalated as high as it could go - "after this we have to refer you to engineering"), I was finally told by Apple Senior Advisor Ciara Ferguson that icloud control panel does not properly sync icloud mail with Outlook 365 (Outlook 2013).  After several months of working on dual systems I discovered that many (but not all) changes to folder names and filing of emails in various folders made in Outlook were not reflected on icloud and vice versa.   Ms. Ferguson has stated that icloud control panel "works better with calendar and contacts."  Obviously, this non-committal statement is grossly insufficient.  It either works or it doesn't.  It doesn't. 
    Allegedly, icloud control panel does work to sync other email (the example of an outlook.com email address was given) into apple devices.  This doesn't sound right to me either, since one can just add any POP or IMAP or Exchange account into a Mac device, so why would one need icloud control panel to interface?
    I remain stymied as to the actual purpose of icloud control panel, despite asking exactly that question of Ms. Ferguson on several occasions.  The Apple literature and its own setup screens suggest that it will sync email, contacts, calendar and notes with MS Outlook, but as to email, that is apparently untrue.

    I don't think so.  I'd like to sync photostream from two iPhones with distinct Apple IDs on our PCs and I don't see a way to do it.  It synced my wife's iPhone while she was logged in to iCloud control panel but not mine until I logged in (and disconnected her photostream PC syncing).

  • Sync iCloud with windows contacts

    I am upgrading from MobileMe to iCloud in windows 7, w/ MobileMe I sync with my Windows contacts not with Outlook contacts (I can't stand bloated outlook app).  I don't see this option in iCloud - does this mean Apple is not supporting syncing iCloud with Windows Contacts?  If so I am very disappointed in Apple.
    thanks,

    You're correct, Outlook is the only supported client for Windows, and I agree with your assesment of Outlook. There is an usupported alternative in eMClient, which does look a lot like Outlook but is simpler and snappier.
    Setup is manual, mail is easy as are contacts and calendars, if you want to try it post back and I'll look for the server address information.

  • I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business.  I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time.  How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

    I have 2 iphones, one for personal and one for business.  I need my phones not to sync otherwise they will both ring all the time.  How can I log out of my icloud and unsync my phones?

    Syncing your phones to the same iCloud account won't cause them to both ring all the time, it only puts the same contacts, calendars, and other synced data on the phone.  The phones will only ring with someone calls the number associated with the phone.
    If you want to stop using iCloud on one or both of the phones, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then choose Keep On My iPhone when prompted.  This will disconnect them from iCloud and keep a copy of the synced data on the phone.

  • Have tried to install icloud 4.0 for windows and again it does not allow syncing with outlook 2013 calendar and contact using windows 8.1 and IOS 8.02 (unexpected error)? I thought itunes 12.0 and icloud 4.0 would solve issue but still same result.

The screen is pretty cracked but phone still works i get emails, texts, and everything else to it just cant view them. Is there anyway i can connect the two and pull information off the iphone?

    You can only restore what was backed up.
    you can sync to iTunes to get your music and apps.

  • HT4489 Ever since the last update IOS5.1.1, calendar entries are not saved on Icloud, and would not sync on all I clould devices

    After the last update of IOS5.1.1, all caledar entries are not saved on Icloud and thus not synced on all my Icloud devices, even though, spreadsheets are synced, photostream is working and contacts is syncing, only calendar items.  Anybody has the same problem? Or a solution to this kind or problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • When Using iOs 7.1.2 OSX 10.9.4 notes are not syncing via USB. When will this be fixed. Not interested in iCloud or IMAP solution.

    When Using iOs 7.1.2 with mac OSX 10.9.4 mavericks notes are not syncing via USB.
    When will this be fixed ? Not interested in iCloud or IMAP solution. it worked before,  I can't really
    understand why apple would change one of my favorite features. I use the notes feature to
    capture  quick ideas on the road and having it synched on my computer and my phone was very useful.
    Previous blog posts elsewhere indicated this would be fixed in the latest rev of iOS, OSX and iTunes.
    But alas after the recent update it's not. Really Annoying.

    Then you won't be syncing your notes anymore.
    Contacts and Calendars are the only things they restored.

  • I can sync icloud calender with pc based outlook calender.  But contacts do not sync.  Could anyone help me with this?

    I can sync icloud calender with pc based outlook calender.  Photos also sync.  But can not sync contacts.  Already checked contact boxes in icloud and and on my PC.  Also tried to reset Document & Data on icloud.  Could anyone help me on that?

    That's what I did... switching on iCloud calender in the panel leads to the following: The existing local Outlook calendar gets mved to an new iCloud calendar.Thus the local calendar is empty.
    Given that iTunes dows not allow my whife's phone to be synced with that iCloud calendar (only the local acalendar appears in the list of available calendars in iTunes; syncing all dioes not include the iCloud one) this leads to an empty alendar on my whife's phone.
    Hence the question how to
    a) get iTunes to include the iCloud calendar to sync with the iPhone 2g (preferred) or
    b) enable a local MS Outlook internal sync between the two calendars.

  • TS4118 Ever since I got the iphone 5  my phone/icloud calender and contacts will not remain synced with Outlook.  I am constantly having to sign in and sign out and  unlink and re link to Outlook.

    Ever since I got the iphone 5  my phone/icloud calender and contacts will not remain synced with Outlook.  I am constantly having to sign in and sign out and  unlink and re link to Outlook.  this creates multiple categories of contacts and calenders and I have no idea which is syncing with my phone, ipad, outlook.  Help.  thanks.

    Sounds like the Outlook plugin isn't working properly.  You could try a couple of things:
    Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs, uninstall iCloud, the download and install the iCloud contol panel for Windows again from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455.  Then sign back into your iCloud account and check your syncing settings again.
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  (Uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.)  This will replace the Outlook plugin.
    Then try your calendar again and see if it will sync properly now.

  • I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices?

    I have Lion on my laptop and I want to back up my calendar TO my iphone. Not the reverse. iCloud only goes from iphone to iCloud to mac not the other way. Also, why doesn't "sync" mean update most recent changes across all devices? I thought that was the point of iCloud. Any suggestions since iCloud doesn't seem to work?

    It's a work computer so I wanted to save them to my iTunes so I can access from another computer.  Should I go to a home computer and just Import for best results?  If so how do I do this?  Also, why would I be synched with another library and how do I find out what this is?  Very new/green user here
