Saving notes and email to iCloud-gmail.

I had enabled icloud but hadnt enabled the mail and notes section. I tried to enter my apple id for this when i turned it on but it said  'this email is already in use, please choose another.' I was then pushed to create an @icloud.com address. When i restored my phone from the icloud backup (as i was having problems on with firmware) , the notes I had written previously were gone, as was my gmail email.
Is it totally impossible to save the notes that I had to icloud? I have a basic understanding that the notes and mail are linked. I am now facing the fact that the notes from before will never sync. I have turned off the sync with gmail option and changed it to icloud, now all my notes are linked across devices and they mutually update (woo hoo!)
Any thoughts gratefully received. Also - i cannot delete the icloud email. How annoying is that!?

Check icloud.com from your computer, sign into your old @me iCloud account and confirm that your contacts are still there.  Assuming they are, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted.  This only deletes the account and your data from your phone, not from iCloud.
Next, sign into your old iCloud account in Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to On.  Confirm that your contacts are now back on your phone.  Assuming they are, turn Contacts to Off again and when prompted, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.
Next, tap Delete account and when prompted choose Delete From My iPhone (this won't delete the contacts).  Then sign back into your new iCloud account, turn contacts back to On and choose Merge to merge the contacts with your new iCloud account.  Then turn on your other data syncing to sync the iCloud data in your new account back to your phone.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
    4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
    Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue.  Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
    Try:
    Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
    Make separate backups of critical data:

    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966

  • Not receiving emails in Mail (gmail)

    Hi guys,
    I'm not receiving emails from my gmail account. webmail is working. tried telnet on the terminal and I have a working connection from my desktop to the gmail server, so no firewall issues or anything. also this occured just days after I installed the Mavericks / Gmail update. So no connection there either. Sending works, since it shows up in the webmail interface.
    There was no change in my gmail account I'm aware of. It continues to work fine on my iphone. I set it up with imap and checked if imap was still enabled in webmail, and tried switching it off/on.
    I don't know what I'm missing here :/ ...
    Normally I'm not a fan of mailclients, but with the iMac i bought last year, it seems to be pretty well integrated. And until now, It's been working like a charm.
    But this is annoying the crap out of me.
    Cheers,
    Koen

    For some reason it's been resolved overnight! Unfortunatly no explanation, but it's working again.

  • Not receiving emails in icloud

    not receiving emails in icloud

    Is it possible that you went a few hours without having any messages sent to you?
    The iCloud status page (http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/) has no reported issues today. No personal receipt issues for me today.

  • ICloud notes and email setup

    Hey guys, really quick question. When I turn on either mail or notes in the iCloud settings it asks me to create a me.com email address. Can anyone tell me why?

    Because you need an Apple provided @me.com email address to use the email and notes syncing features of iCloud. You can't use an email address from another provider with those features.

  • My husband and I have the same Apple ID number so that we can both have access to an app we use.  I don't like the fact that our calendar, notes and email is also shared.  Is there a way to separate the things we want separate yet keep access to the cloud

    My husband and I share the same Apple ID number because we both need access to an app that has a subscription and would be expensive for us to do separately.  We don't like that this shared ID number means we also share our calendar, note pages, email, etc....Is there a way to separate the things we don't want to share?

    That would be my suggestion.  Just keep using the common one for purchases in the stores.  Then each get another AppleID using a free gmail, AOL, hotmail, MS Live or whatever email account.
    Delete your current iCloud account and login with the new AppleID, and logout of Messaging and then backin with the new AppleID.  Now you have a shared iTunes/App store account, but completely separate, independent iCloud and iMessage accounts.
    You can still share calendars if you wish to, even across separate accounts - http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2690

    There is no such thing as "Windows for Mac". Do you mean Office for Mac? If so, you might want to try asking your Office for Mac question in the Office for Mac forums where the Office for Mac gurus hang out.

  • My iPhone 4s is saving Notes and dates like 50 of the same note and date. WHY? HELP

    I can not take off a date that I set on my ical and it has it saved it like 100 times. Taking up alot of my space on my iPhone 4s. It is really affecting my whole phone system (texting, FACEBOOK, Pinterest, calendar, Notes, camera, EMail BIG TIME!) I trash old emails and they come right back so I have like 550 old emails. The Capacity is at 13.5 on my iPhone 4s its because of what is going on with my iphone 4s. Need help on how to clean it from a virus.   jil r  

    You don't have a virus, at least not on the iPhone. Issues is likely on the server for your email service. However you can try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Need to sync Notes and Reminders Without iCloud to maintain confidential information

    Does anyone have a way to sync Notes & Reminders WITHOUT using iCloud? Directly through USB cable or my home network would be good. Can't Apple understand that users may not want to send confidential information into the Cloud???

    With a backup maintained for your iTunes library along with all other important data stored on an external hard drive or some other external media used for backup purposes only, losing all iTunes content on your iPhone with the first sync with iTunes on another computer would be avoided.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only including paid and free apps. First you need to authorize the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected and without syncing, the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

  • E65 and Outloo Notes and email

    With an E65 is it possible to synch Notes and Inbox from Outlook 2007? (this can be done using Windows Mobile / Active Sync)?
    Thanks

    Seems that the notes are synchronised and hidden under the office application. It's just not an option in PC Sync.

  • Notes and Email require a new iCloud address ???

    I have everything except mail and notes set to sync  to the cloud.
    When I try and turn on either Notess or Email sync, it asks me to create a new .me email address.
    The description for this, if you press 'create' is 'New iCloud Email'. If I put in the email (apple ID) it rejects it as a duplicate.
    What is going on ?

    If you 'moved' your existing MobileMe account to iCloud your existing @me.com email address would be available to you. It sounds as though you've created a new iCloud account using a different AppleID.

  • Can a user editable frame be created for "Notes" and emailed from within the app?

    Hello,
    I am super new to the digital publishing process. Our church has published devotional content for some time and this year we are taking those publications digital. One of the key aspescts to our design is for readers to be able to have space to write their own thoughts in the devotional.
    I am not at all skilled in any sort of code or markup and I have tradtionally stuck to the visual side of production. So, I am wondering if there is a way to create a "Notes" frame within indesign that the user can email to themselves or save it in someother way from with in the app?
    Below is a screen shot of the print edition so you can see the area I am refering to.

    The CLASSPATH cannot be modified at runtime.
    You can work around this by creating a URLClassLoader with the required CLASSPATH and using it to load your classes instead.

  • In Mail, how do I view both notes and emails at same time?

    Is it possible to view the notes pane and the email pane at the same time?  I keep notes about each project I'm working on so it helps to have them up as I'm replying to emails and setting todo's.  If this is not possible, can I move notes out of Mail?

    Just figured it out....all you do is double click on the note.
