Notes Syncing - Mountain Lion

Do I need a .me account in addition to my AppleID to have Notes sync correctly with my MBPro and Mountain Lion?
Will creating an additional .me account screw anything else up?
Currently I have 3 email accounts that feed into my iPhone - 2 IMAP and Gmail setup as Exchange.
I have 2 of those accounts coming to my MBPro - I use Gmail on the laptop only on the web.
The Gmail Account is my AppleID.
Reminders seem to be working.
My Calendar and Contacts are through iCould.
Why doesn't Notes 'Just Work'?
When I got to toggle it on under the new ML Preferences, it asks to create a .me account.

absolutely bizzare, but it worked.
apple needs to sort out the multiple email / account issues and how it relates to calendars / notes / reminders.
i can't be the only one with gmail for my apple ID and then 2 work accounts.

Notes in Mountain Lion with images

I created notes on Mountain Lion and they sync with my iPad/iPhone. However notes on Mountain Lion that contain images dont sync, the note sync but the images dont.
Is there a way to fix this? Is this part of iOS 6?

This is normal. For the moment. IOS notes should show a paperclip instead of an image. For images to sync you have to wait for IOS6.

Keyword search in Apple Notes on Mountain Lion?

Hi friends. I hope someone can enlighten me and help put some faith back into Apple's software development.
Does anyone know how to do a keyword search in Apple Notes on Mountain Lion?? I know that sounds completely stupid but let me explain...
In the top left corner there is a search field. When I enter a keyword it searches all the notes, and in the left hand pain it filters the notes that have the keyword in them. It doesn't actually show me *where" the keyword appears, it only shows the notes that *contain* them. It's just a filter, not a search. Try it for yourself.
It would be like doing a keyword search in a PDF, and it only tell you which pages it appears on, rather than where on the page. It is completely useless.
I fail to believe the program would be this limited. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Please no suggestions to go find another note program. I need notes for particular reasons.

This behavior makes complete sense to me. If I designed it, I would do it exactly the same way.
Here's why: Notes are not expected to be treatises. They are expected to be reasonably short. You should easily be able to find the search target in your relatively brief note.
Nonetheless, if you fee like you'd like to ask Apple for this feature, here's how to supply feedback to Apple:

I have OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade, but not to Mountain Lion.

I have OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade, but not to Mountain Lion. How do I upgrade to Leopard or snow leopard?

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

Export (Backup) Notes in Mountain Lion?

Dear Apple Community,
is there any possiblity to export the notes in mountain lion?
On Lion I could export the notes!

William Lloyd wrote:
Your notes are stored in a Core Data database.
The location is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Library/Notes/
There are 2 or 3 files in there, called NotesV1.storedata (stuff).
Note on Mountain Lion, that the ~/Library folder is hidden by default which explains why you can't see it.
There is no way that I'm aware of to do mass import or export of notes from within the Notes application. However, Notes is AppleScriptable so you could write an AppleScript that would do it. This obviously requires knowing enough AppleScript to do it.
You can Google for something like "Notes.app" "mountain lion" "import" and find stuff, like this:
http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=39166
That's to import. You could reverse the script to export stuff.
You have got to be kidding!!!!
I looked at the page you reference.
One of the biggest selling points for me to get an apple was that I could use time machine to recuperate "lost" items.
This is WAY too complicated!!
Any easier solutions?
Thanks

HT4865 Notes in Mountain Lion

Do notes in mountain lion get stored securely on the iCloud server. now that notes is separate from mail, apple would not need to store them in IMAP servers like they were doing when notes was integrated into the mail app.

thanks for the link Winston.
I did read this article before I posted. the article came out before Mountain Lion and maybe it needs to be updated to be clear.
It does clearly say that notes are transmitted security but it does not say for sure that they are stored on IMAP servers. it says iCloud does not store data on IMAP servers securely but doesn’t say whether this applies to both Mail and Notes.
before the separate Notes app on ML, I would assume this KB article was referring to both Mail and Notes being stored on the IMAP server because the interface for Notes was embedded into Mail.
It may be that Notes are still stored on IMAP servers even though they now have their own app but since the KB article pre-dates ML, it makes me wonder.

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo, it can only be upgraded to 10.6.8; Mac OS X 10.6 DVDs are available in the online Apple Store.
If it's a Core 2 Duo, follow the instructions for the Core Duo, phone the online Apple Store, and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

How do I sync notes to mountain lion

Dear Apple;
I have a lot of notes in my iPhone4 -- I want to SYNC them to the new NOTES app in Mountain Lion. Why, oh why is it so difficult to copy some text across a USB cable? For some reason, iTunes can move Music, Videos, and Photos, but apparently, ASCII text is too hard. I have created an iCloud Account, which is dangerous, since it seems to allow remote wiping of my Mac, I have created an @me account (why I need another email address is beyond me), I have turned on "notes" syncing on the phone and under icloud preferences, and yet, the only notes that talk to each other are NEW notes. Is there ANY WAY to just "select all" and have them sync, or is the solution to start again with a different phone?

While bCirulnick is not addressing Apple, per se, it would be useful for more and more people to complain to Apple about changing such functionality (apple.com/feedback). Notes used to nicely sync across USB with iTunes. What was the motivation to change it and restrict this to only iCloud....

How do I apply multi-numbered lists in Notes app on iPad without a Tab key? E.g. I can do 1.a.i in Notes on Mountain Lion but not on iPad. The numbering style does not sync properly.

This is what it looks like in Mountain Lion
This is what it looks like on my iPad/iPhone. It has lost the number formattion.
How do I tab on an iPad to get the multi-level numbers anyway??

iWork '09 is not "outdated" it still works and works extremely well and whilst not perfect with MsWord it is far far better than Pages 5.2 which has a stream of major issues with exporting. It is also way better and faster to use than Microsoft Office.
So what is your time and work actually worth? If it is less than $19.99 for 6 months, you may as well just chuck it in and take that job on minimum wages.
You are assuming things for Office 2014 with absolutely no inside knowledge. Much as we assumed Pages 5 was going to be the long awaited improvement, but ended up being a downgrade to match the iOS version, Microsoft is headed the same way with their mobile versions.
This is not like getting the "latest" pair of pants where you go with the crowd and throw out your cigarette legs which replaced the flares, which replaced your low cuts which replaced your cigarette legs, which replaced…
This is work.
If it does the job and does it well, use it. There is nothing out there to really match what Pages '09 does. Yet.
LibreOffice can do most but not all, but has a UI that only a mother could love. It's great redemption is that it uses both open formats and the standard Microsoft formats and is under active development. It also opens and saves to just about everything. When they finally work out the Pages formats, I'm sure they will open those as well.
I use a lot of professional software. Just because the publisher's marketing department says change the product so we can sell more, doesn't mean you have to pay any attention whatsoever. Adobe being a classical example. Most designers are just ignoring their latest subscription based bloatware and getting on with their work.

Lost NOTES after Mountain Lion Upgrade

Hi All:
Anyone know where my old notes went after the upgrade to Mountain Lion?
I'm signed into the new Notes app and they did not transfer and are nowhere to be found in my email anymore either.
They were not emailed to me as someone indicated in another similar thread.
Any help would be appreciated....!!!!

I am having the exact same problem. The notes did not fully sync to my mac, and when I looked on my phone and ipad, the same abbreviated list of notes is now there (some have arbitrarily been deleted). I tried your trick of unchecking and rechecking the Notes box in iCloud, but no change. Any further suggestions, or at least some insight into why this might have happened?
Thanks!

Synch iPad Notes to Mountain Lion Notes

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on my iMac and note that even though I have iCloud set up, Mountain Lion doesn't have the same notes that are currently on my iPad (the latest iPad). Can anyone help?
Thank you,
Laura

I actually had it set up to sync via the cloud on both the iPad and the mac, yet for some reason I lost files that were added just days ago on the mac when I updated to Mountain Lion. Other notes that had additions to them, also didn't transfer over in the update though everything stayed on the iPad correctly (I try NOT to add to notes or create new notes on my iPad because I had issues with it "reverse" updating with the first generation iPad, unless I absolutely have to, such that 99% of everything is done on my mac and then synch'd over to the iPad).
