OS X Server Notes Sync Problem

It can't seem to find a way to get OS X Notes to sync properly with my OD account. Mail syncs just fine, and Notes on iOS works like a charm, but endlessly clocks on OS X and never receives a check mark. I've followed the suggestions on a previous thread to no avail. All the Geniuses seem to do is blame my server config, yet if the server config was bad, it wouldn't sync to my iPhone (which it does without a hitch).

FINALLY! With Mavericks, it seems the issue has gone away. No sooner did I click for Notes sync in the System Preferences, it gave the check mark. I'm finally able to use this feature on OS X Server. Hopefully it doesn't break when it gets upgraded to Mavericks itself.

HT1727 How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process). My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone

How can i retrieve purchased audiobooks that were not synced (problem encountered during sync process)? My account shows the purchase history, but the apps are no longer displayed in itunes or on my ipad or iphone. I'm not very savvy with using iTunes - I don't think is very intuitive (unlike me:)). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello mcegirl4,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please refer to the instructions in the following article to assist in downloading those previous purchases from iTunes and the App Store:

Work around for server not found problems on FF36

I have found a work around for all the people having server not found problems with FF36.
If you manually set your network adapter DNS to an external DNS server (as opposed to your local ISP) then the problem goes away. I set mine to use the two google DNS servers:
Preferred: 8.8.8.8
Alternate: 8.8.4.4
Not a clue why this works but it is 100% successful on my desktop PC, whereas before I could hardly connect to a webpage with FF36 without multiple page refreshes and much frustration, even though FF35 was fine and rolling back to FF35 was also fine.
Something has changed in FF36 and either the way it handles DNS or the way it works with some network adapters.
It is nothing to do with add-ons, profiles or firewall software as I have tried all of these things and only the DNS change made a difference. I even copied over a full working profile and the program files directory for Mozilla from my portable which was having no problems and the problem still existed on the desktop, which is why I started looking at the network adapater since everything else between the working PC and the non working one was identical.
Hopefully this will help the developers to pin down the real cause of the problem and fix it in the next release.

Well done. Thanks for finding that.
That is not only assigned but has an approved patch included in the scheduled Fx36.0.1 release so it should be fixed in few days, watch out for the upgrade.
* Bug 1093983 - DNS resolver should not use 'ANY' to get cached records for TTL <sup>[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1093983#c35 c#35]</sup>
* https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Channels/Meetings/2015-03-03#Schedule_Update
With the bug now fixed it would not really be appropriate to add further comment. I do now see another related bug assigned but not being fast tracked, so if all goes well that will probably land in Firefox 39.

Notes syncing problem

Mini ipad 7.1; Mail 4.6; iTunes 11.4; Mac os x 10.6.8 notes syncing problem
I type a lot on my ipad. Some of them I update daily.
Problem:
Mail only sync SOME notes, not all, randomly. (Strange)
The ones that synced, sometimes get updated sometimes don't, in Mail. (Strange)
I don't sync with icloud or whatever. I just click sync on iTunes.
Tried creating a test note from the Mail app. Works, but a second sync creates a duplicate note. Delete one of them, edit the note from ipad, doesn't sync anymore.

Plug ipad to my mac. Open itunes. Click sync. Open mail. Some new notes created in ipad are in mail, but not all notes.
No additional software. No updates nor upgrades.
Changes on device:
Created new notes, click sync on itunes. No new notes in mail. Days or weeks later, sync again in itunes, some new notes visible in mail but not all new.
Allow me to repeat again:
Mail only sync SOME notes, not all, randomly.
The ones that synced (which I update in ipad), sometimes get updated sometimes don't, in Mail.
Tried creating a test note from the Mail app. Works, but a second sync creates a duplicate note. Delete one of them, edit the note from ipad, doesn't sync anymore.

Mountain Lion calendar and notes sync problems with exchange server via WLAN

After upgrading to Mountain Lion calendar and notes do not sync anymore with my exchange server via WLAN. There are no syncing problems via ethernet if WLAN is deactivated. Mail works fine with both connection types. Similar problems known? Solutions?
Thanks for any ideas.

Exact same issue ... cropped up in the past 2 weeks. Constantly syncing and re syncing. Watching calendar events show up and disappear. Tried all the normal stuff including deleting and re setting up the entire acct ... no luck. It built out the whole calendar correctly ( from what I could tell) and then started to sync again and appointments randomly appeared and disappeared .....

Notes sync problem

For a long time I've been syncing notes between my iPhone 3G and my MacBook with no problem. Today I find that the past few syncs have not really worked; a handful of new notes created on the iPhone do not appear in Mail notes on the MacBook. Conversely, a handful of others that I deleted on the iPhone are still on the MacBook. New notes I create now seem to work - but the notes in question remain unaffected; I can't get them to sync. This glitch is a rather large one, as I use notes a lot (I have over 300).
Resetting the iPhone did nothing. I don't want to overwrite the iPhone notes with those from the MacBook, since the iPhone notes are the more up-to-date, and it would be a huge problem to sort out. Also, I'm worried about why this occurred in the first place, and if I should expect it again. This is one of the main things I use the iPhone/MacBook for, and I really rely on it.

Okay, I seemed to have solved my problem. (Remember beforehand when I was able to sync my notes between my devices, but nothing wanted to talk to my machine or vice versa.)
On a hunch, I reviewed my notes... er... the notes I wrote on paper with this issue in troubleshooting.
Half of my notes were created "On My Mac," others were in a .Mac/MobileMe folder I long ago coincidentally called "Notes." This never caused a problem in the past. Both categories of notes were showing up under "Notes" in Mail's sources list. I would click "Notes" and view all notes saved. I moved all notes from my MobileMe subcategories to new notes created within the On My Mac category. This was done via copy/paste.
In doing this, I discovered a note (that is to say an Email that I had moved into my coincidentally named "Notes" folder) that had two attachments on it. As soon as I moved this to another folder, notes synced appeared rightfully in mail.
My original hunch was that email messsages with attachments going into this Notes folder muddled up the sync. I might be right that getting those out of there may have fixed it.
In short:
1. I moved all notes into "On My Mac," copied and pasted content of notes into New Notes if needed.
2. Deleted the newly "old" notes (denoted as being in plain text rather than the marker-felt style).
3. Move notes with non-picture attachments to other folders (e.g. "Saved")
4. Avoid calling any folder "Notes" or rename folders called such if you already had them
5. Re-sync.

OS X Server - Notes Sync - iOS and Mac

Hi - I'm using OS X Server to sync notes, contacts, calendars and mail. When I add the account to my Mac, the notes application is empty. When the same account is added to an iPhone and an iPad, the notes application displays all of the my notes.
The iPhone and iPad remain in sync when changes are made, however
the same account on the Mac will not display any of the notes.
The mailbox is working properly both in Apple Mail and iOS mail;
push works properly for Mail and Notes on iOS.
I've tried activating the same IMAP account on a different user profile on the same and different Macs, same result on all. I'm wondering if the Mac clients are attempting to connect to a different IMAP path.
What's really weird is this was all working properly last night. I started working on a note from my Mac, after having synced all of my other notes, but then noticed it had never synced over to my iphone. After trying to remove the account from my Mac, all of the notes disappeared. I've removed and re-added the account in iOS and it was able to sync back all of the previous notes.
Both the iPhone and iPad are running iOS 7; the Macs are all running OS X Mountain Lion (and ML Server).

Brian,
Thanks for the suggestion. I played around my settings bfore I saw your reply.
I solve the issue this way. I had set up my client to connect to my server for mail, contact, calendar and notes by selecting Add another account/Add an OS X server account in the system preferences. Doing this, Notes would take forever to get a check mark. Re-opening the systems preference pane, there would be 2 accounts for my server, on for contacts and calendar, the other one for mail. Again, trying to turn on Notes would fail.
I deleted the this account (Mail,notes) and took a different path to add my erver mail account.
I went through Add other account/Add a mil account. Entered my server credentials and mail and notes set up without issues.
I tried to see if things were syncing between iOS and OS X. It worked both ways without issues.
I tried changing the setup dor authentification after this was working, and it did not seem to make a difference.

Notes syncing problem with @me address vs @mac address

Notes stopped syncing (on my mavericks macbook). I turned it off and on again in prefs. When it restarted it used my username@me address instead of my username@mac address. It was previously using my @mac address, which is my Mac ID. I cannot figure out how to get the @me out of there.

I also have this problem. A couple of days ago, the Notes App on my Macbook Pro (OSX Mavericks) stopped syncing to my icloud. My iphone and ipad don't have this problem. I have done all the suggested actions (ie. unticking "notes" then ticking again; signing out of my icloud account then signing back in, etc), it then removed my icloud address on the Notes App and replaced it with [email protected]; but still no syncing. It just keeps showing "UPDATING" on the status bar. I can look at my icloud notes on the browser or my iphone but its just inconvenient.
Any other suggestions?

Exchange server not syncing Lync state or Calendar properly

We have several Mac users that have reported that their Lync states will not update (Busy, Meeting, etc), but if they log on to a Windows machine while still logged onto the Mac, the state will update properly. These same users have reported that they
are unable to properly see Attendees is meetings in Outlook for Mac.

Hi,
If the issue does not occur on Microsoft Windows and Outlook, it means the settings on the Exchange side is fine. You need to check why the MAC client cannot sync the data from the
Exchange Server. Maybe you need to check whether the EWS works properly. For more professional suggestion, you can consult Mac Office forum via:

HT4191 Note syncing problem

Some notes in the Notes app on my iPhone have mysteriously disappeared. Syncing my phone in iTunes has not restored them. I can see them in the Notes list on Mail but can't work out how to get them back onto my iPhone. Any ideas?

The mail app Reminders and the iCal todo's (right pane) are one in the same.
Note the other thread running on this that solves the checkmark disappearing problem. Unplug the iPod, restart itunes.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1983165&tstart=0
Now I just have to find where the Notes are on the iPod.

Ovi Suite Calender And Tasks / Notes Sync Problem

I am using a N79. I have downloaded the latest version of Ovi Suite to my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit operating system. But now I am having a problem with sync. Calender and tasks , notes can not be synced with Ovi Suite. A notification window opens saying that reconnect and connect again USB or bluetooth. When I do this, nothing happens and sync again fails. I uninstalled Ovi Suite and installed Nokia PC Suite. No problem is seen with sync. Before my Windows 7, I was using Vista but there was no problem with Ovi Suite sync. By the way there is no problem with contacts, photos, bookmarks, music sync with Ovi Suite.
What may be the problem? How can I solve the problem.....????
THANKS!!!!!!!

Yes I've checked the link too. But I still can't sync the notes (and only the notes) from my Nokia E65.
OVI Suite will happily copy all other content at start up but failes when it starts to copy the notes each time giving the "Reconnect USB...." message with error number 83860005 (if that means anything to anyone).
After many attempts yesterday I copied the notes to my Outlook, but again I now get the same mesage and it won't update! The only thing that I can think of is that some of my notes are pretty long and that there maybe a limit to the number of characters copied befor the process terminates???

DEADLINE SERVER NOT SYNCING!!!!!

I've got 20 imacs all syncing perfectly but i noticed one of them doesn't sync at all. in the status bar it says it never synced i've checked the account and redone it on the server but it still says its never been synced. Which is odd as the progress bar occurs and it seems to sync but never actually does. does anybody have any ideas?

Sorry - pop up states

IPhone/Mac Note sync problem

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can stop the notes I write on my IPhone from syncing with the the calendar on my mac. Thanks!

Is this a different question than the other one that you just posted? Are they related?

Voice note sync problem

Hi!
I have like 10 note voices and I can't sync them all. Only 2 or 3 but the older notes remains in my iphone! And I need them for working!
Thanks for a promt answer.

Gabriel

Hi Tiam,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the Nokia forum.
We are really sorry for this inconvenience.
It sounds like the Windows Live account that was created when the phone was first activated has changed or become non-functional.
I would suggest a hard reset of the phone (this will take it back to out-of-the-box condition), then reconnecting it with either the correct Live account info or a new Live account.
Keep in mind that this operation will cancel all your information on the phone. Contacts, calendar and tasks are synced with your LiveID, there is no real need to create a back up. Your mediafiles can be saved with Zune. Apps can be downloaded again from Marketplace after a reset. There is a handy tool which, once setup, will do this for you. It is available in Marketplace and is called Reinstaller.
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.
Regards,
Pfrancoise
