Sync notes from iPad to iPhone doesn't work.

I have iPad 2 for about a year. It has 14 Notes in it. Yesterday I got an iPhone5 and everything sync'd EXCEPT Notes.
Only 4 of the notes sync to iCloud and transferred to iPhone. The others didn't. I even modified every single note and tried again, only the 4 notes sync'd.
In iPad Notes settings (and also on the Notes app) I discovered there is a "Default Account" and the 4 notes that sync to iCloud & iPhone have an account set to iCloud but the other notes that won't are all listed as "On My iPad". I presume this is the source of my sync problem.
There is no similar setting on the iPhone regarding a Default Account on the Notes app or settings for the Notes app.
I see lots of discussion about Note sync problems but nothing specifically as I describe regarding changing the default acct.
How do I fix this? I tried setting Default acct iCloud, modifying the notes after this change but only the same 4 Notes sync to iCloud.
Thanks, Jon

For the record, I copied Notes that didn't sync into an email and sent to iPhone. Copied notes from the emails into new note on iPhone. then deleted Note from iPad that were in the "on my iPad" account and now they seem to sync ok.
Fortunately I only had to do this for a few Notes. This solution is a real kludge and with all the complaints from other users about syncing I am astonished Apple hasn't published a solution.

Sync iBooks From iPAD to iPhone

Please follow the steps below to figure out how to Sync iBooks From iPAD to iPhone
Before Starting: Settings For Both Devices
1. Settings > iBooks > Sync Collections > On
Then...
1. Sync iPAD with iTunes.
2. File > Transfer Purchases From iPAD (this should transfer those books your purchased on your iPAD onto your iTunes)
3. Un-sync iPAD from computer
4. Sync iPhone
5. Store > Purchased > Drag book(s) from the "Purchased folder" to your iPhone (this should transfer your book(s) from iTunes onto your iPhone)

No, this is not necessary or correct. It's not necessary to transfer to and from the iTunes library. When you sign into your iBooks account on each device you have iBooks installed in:
iBooks > Store > Purchased > shows everything you bought > download from there wirelessly.

How to sync Notes from Mac to iPhone?

Hi.
First up .. is Notes supported in Mavericks as I see no specific forum here?
My question is How to sync Notes from Mac to iPhone?
I have lots of Notes written in the Notes application on my iMac.
All these Notes also appear in my iCloud Notes page via Safari. So far, so good.
BUT if I want to sync Notes to my iPhone (iOS 7) my iPhone settings tells me iPhone Notes is default and that if I turn on Notes on iPhone all my iCloud Notes will be deleted.
HOWEVER, I cannot see a way on my iPhone to set the default Notes to iCloud.
I am unsure if this is a OSX question or an iOS question .. but it is a NOTES question.
If you can help, it would be appreciated. Else I will ignore Notes on iPhone (as it seems from other Forums I cannot delete it).
C'mon Apple .. you are losing the ease-of-use mojo.
Michael

These are fun, call apple care and ask for a senior advisor, Both Mac and ios can help. But I can't help you on here it's just too detailed. Expect to spend about 30 minutes with a senior advisor.

Notes from iPad and iPhone are not being synced to my Mac with iCloud

I have been really hesitant to even use iCloud, but i just started to try to use it yesterday - and my Notes from my iPad and iPhone are not being synced together, and both Notes from my iPhone and iPad are not even being seen to my Mac.
What am i doing wrong with this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

HT1296 How to sync Notes from iPad with Notes from Outlook 2011 using iCloud

Have been using iCloud successfully on my iPad and iPhone for photos, documents. But want to sync the Notes app items from the iPad to my iMac. Am assuming it would go to Outlook 2011 - but not clear how the sync works. Or does there have to be a separate App on the iMac for Notes?

I'm unfamilar with Outlook 365 but you can investigate the iCloud program. See if it'll work over wifi to sync your notes.
You might also be able to save your notes or export them out of outlook, e-mail them to yourself and then import them from there.

Handoff from Mac to iPhone doesn't work

Although I can get handoff to work pretty reliably for some applications, and although handoff works well enough from my iPhone to the Mac, I cannot get any application to handoff to iOS 8.1 on my iPhone 6 from my Mac.
Here is a test of Maps (but it is the same for all applications):
What works:     Maps on the iPhone 6 can handoff to iPad and Mac
                         Maps on iPad Air can handoff to iPhone and Mac
                         Maps on Mac can handoff to iPad Air
Doesn't work:     Maps on Mac cannot handoff to iPhone 6
Any ideas why I am having this problem?
Handoff is set to ON for all functions in settings on the iPhone.
I have tried resetting the phone - no deal. Both iOS devices are running 8.1
Stephen

Here is what I did to solve the problem. It's quite simple but as I said before, it's the thing I hate the most.
- First, sign out of iCloud in every single device, selecting the Delete option every time you are asked;
- Second, turn off all devices.
With all devices out of iCloud and turned off, start going the opposite way, one by one. For example:
- Turn MacBook back on and sign in to iCloud;
- Turn iPhone back on and sign in to iCloud;
- Turn iPad back on and sign in to iCloud;
- Turn Mac Mini back on and sign in to iCloud.

Transfering docs from iPad to Mac doesn't work

I have 2 iPads: iPad 1 and iPad 2. I bought iPad 2 a month ago and –using Snow Leopard– I could
transfer all my documents from iPad 1 to my Mac. After that, I loaded my new iPad 2 with the same
documents from Mac. I have updated to Lion and to iTunes 10.4 but now I see that I can't transfer
the documents from my iPads. For example, when selecting GoodReader, I can see only a partial
list of documents (in both iPads), so I could never transfer the whole set of documents. There is now
another problem: I selected this partial list of documents in order to transfer them to Mac, but when
the transfer process detect a folder, the transfer stops indicating an error. In the following figure,
BPM-SOA is just a folder, and it only says "an error is produced" and "the file is not found" without further information.
I deduce this problem is relatied with Lion/iTunes 10.4 as the same iPad 1 from which I tranfered all
my documents, now it only shows the partial list of documents (ending in NUI Natural User...) but I
have documents whose names begin with 'Z'. So, the set of documents between N and Z dissapeared
while when I transfered all the documents with Snow Leopard and iTunes 10.3 all worked fine and I have
a folder with the complete list of documents. I have a MacBook aluminiun, 13'' , 2 Gz Intel Core 2 duo, 4 Gb RAM,
an iPad 1 wifi 32 Gb and an iPad 2 wifi 64 Gb.

the GoodReaderUSB tool allows you to transfer entire folders into GoodReader without loosing the folder/file structure. also you can do the same in reverse using the tool. ie transfer everything from your iPad back onto your desktop.
Windows: http://www.goodiware.com/usb/GoodReaderUSBWin_200.zip
Mac: http://www.goodiware.com/usb/GoodReaderUSBMac_202.zip
also, I'm not affiliated with this tool in anyway, its just very very useful.

My notes from ipad or iphone sync but not to my mac air?

my iphone and ipad sync my notes but mac air doesnt

The templates are stored locally. If you want to move a template then you can open the tempate on the machince where they already exist, then save as a file (let's say on you desktop), then email, or move (using a flash drive) to the Mac mini.
Open the file on the mac mini and save as a template.
I do not have Numbers on an iOS device so I cannot say how to get it to your iphone. I would think you can share the document using iCloud then open from iCloud on the phone and save as a template.

Syncing albums from iPhoto to iPhone doesn't get complete albums

I am trying to sync an albums from iPhoto on a Macbook Pro to an iPhone 4 and I'm running into a problem where some albums are only partially transferred to the iPhone. Eg, there's an album in iPhoto that contains 9 images, and iTunes shows me that count, but when I (directly through USB cable) hook up the iPhone and sync, only one of them appears in the corresponding album on the iPhone. I think I understand the procedure, and I've pulled the images out of the Photostream to build the album, but can anyone think of why on some albums but not all, not all images in the iPhoto version of the album get transferred?

I do know there are different types of jpegs, exactly how or if that affects whether you can use them with a mobile I'm not sure. Use iPhoto to see if you can see some obvious differences between the photos.
All the photos are selected for sharing from the advanced menu I presume.
