Syncing Notes between devices

Hi, I am unable to sync identical copies on my 3 Apple devices. I have full copies on both my iPhone 5c and iPad 2 but only a partial copy on my Macbook Air. I have checked all 3 on my iCloud settings and they seem to be identically setup. Can anyone offer what I should look at next?
Thanks

I'll have to get back to you, mende1. My son lives in another state and has gone to bed. Are you referring to turning off iCloud backup? Also, my Notes was always off in iCloud on my iPhone.
Update: I updated to IOS 6.1 and the unique Note page I created has disappeared while I can still see his unique note.

HT4191 Sync Notes Between Devices

I just purchased my new iPhone 5 to replace my retro 3GS. I also have an iPad and use the Notes feature on both the phone and iPad. I cannot figure out how to transfer my Notes from the old phone to the iPhone 5. I backup to iCloud. I have an iCloud mail account. I do have Notes turned on to backup to iCloud on all three devices. I have backed up all three, but the Notes don't transfer. The calendars transferred with no problems at all. I have tried everything I know to do with no luck.

my point is some engineer has added an unneeded step and limiting point to the iCloud sync feature.
Photostream doesn't require @me account
Numbers doesn't require @me account
Calendar doesn't require @me account
I know your answer is factually correct but Apple is missing the point.
And it's not "either you create an @me.com email address to sync notes or you don't sync notes" it's either Apple responds to the market desires or I use some other companies applications and systems.

I cannot sync notes between iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both devices are running iOS 5.0.1.

I am unable to sync notes between iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both devices are running iOS 5.0.1. Any solution?

So, my DNS is comming from my ISP. It's the same list of IP addresses for all our other devices that are working: 2 PC's 2 Laptops, a PS3 and a WII, an iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0 and an iPhone 4 running IOS 5.0.
The ONLY two devices that are having issues are my iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0.1 and my iPad 2 running IOS 5.0.1.
Soooooo, there is something incompatible with my ISP's DNS and IOS 5.0.1?

How do i sync note between my mac, ipad to my android device

Hello everybody! I have a question about syncing notes. I have new ipad, macbook pro and an android device and i really want to sync notes between them. Icloud sync and gmail sync work perfect on my 2 apple devices but it doesn't get on my htc, (i use gnote on htc, a application that synce with gmail). When i go to gmail.com to check my account, i saw all notes are there but it just doesn't get on my htc. So is there any resolution for this? Thank you !

Julian why do you need to so unbelievably rude about it. Clearly he is just looking for help, and he understands that there is an issue with the google, and HTC, and as well as with his Apple products. The fact is, he is using his APPLE MAC to create the note, so naturally he would come to an Apple forum to look for a solution, not to have someone with a god complex tell him to go somewhere else. Get over your ego and maybe you can actually try to help him, and if not, then keep your remarks to yourself. You wasted more time continuosly trying to tell him to go elsewhere when you probably could have spent half the time actually trying to help him. Oh, and please do not bother responding to this trying to come up with any sort of excuse or telling me how I'm wrong or ignorant, because I truly do not care what you have to say. Take care.
ngongja, I know it's been a year since you posted, but for anyone else that is having the same issues, there is an app you can get from the Google Play store called iNotes which syncs your Mac and iOS notes with your Android device.
Hope that helps!

IBooks bookmarks syncing incorrectly between devices

I have a book I am reading on iBooks on my MacBook Pro with Mavericks, my iPhone 5s with iOS 7, and my iPod touch 4g, which has iOS 6. I have each device set up to sync bookmarks and collections between devices, but the bookmarks keep syncing incorrectly. For example: I am reading on my iPhone, and I drop a bookmark 2 pages away from the end of chapter 40. If I open the book on my iPod touch it does not show the current bookmark, but an old one from earlier in the chapter. Another example: I am reading on my iPod touch, and I drop a bookmark two pages away from the end of chapter 40. This time, I open the book on my iPhone, and it has placed a new bookmark at chapter 39! I open the book on my MacBook Pro after that, and a bookmark has been placed at the beginning go chapter 40!
So, there you have it. I place a bookmark on one device, and the other two devices place bookmarks in completely different places on the book.
All of my devices have the same Apple ID, and both of the mobile devices are synced with iTunes.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks.

The only info that syncs via iCloud for iBooks is collection lists (not the books themselves), Bookmarks, and Notes.
The Books themselves can be automatically downloaded if they are coming from the store. On the iPhone, go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Turn on Automatic Downloads for Books. Same thing can be done on the Mac in preferences.
Since your Books are not from the store, the only way to get them on both devices is to download them to both devices. This will never occur automatically. This also goes for PDFs you add to your iBooks
Hope that helps solve the mystery.

If you buy a book on your Mac, it’s automatically available on all of your iOS devices with iOS 6 or later.
You can even synchronize your bookmarks, notes, and collections across your devices.

Why not sync notes between iPad and iPod?

My iPod andipad don't sync notes between rhem

To use iCloud to sync Notes you have to activate the free iCloud email address on www.icloud.com and use that account to keep Notes in sync between devices. Through iTunes on the computer the sync settings need to be set to sync with Mail on the Mac or Outlook on the PC.
I would hope this will change in iOS 6 and OS X Mountain Lion since Note and Reminders are getting there own apps and should have to be tied to other mail and calendar apps.

I would like to sync Notes between my MacBook Air and the IPhone and/or IPad. I used to tick a box in Itunes (info), but for some reason it is no longer there. How do I go about doing the sync?

The only way to sync Notes is through a mail server. If you don't want to use iCloud, you'll have to use some other mail account, or run your own mail server under OS X Server. The latter is a job for advanced users only.

Syncing notes between two apple ids (two iPhones)

i have a iphone 5 (own), iPhone 4 (wife) and my MCB. i could sync notes from my two iPhones having different apple ids on MCB.
Now i want to sync notes between our iPhones . i am not using yahoo or google notes. how can it be done?

could solve on my own by adding my wife account in my iPhone and selecting the options to sync either mail, contacts, calendars, notes etc.

Can I sync Notes between two separate iPhones?

My wife and I each have iPhones. They are set up on seperate iTunes/iCloud accounts as they should be. I want to know if there is a way to sync notes between the two phones. Example: If I am at the store and my wife wants me to buy eggs, she adds a new note and it pops up on my phone.
--Phil

What you ask can only be done be using the same Apple ID for iCloud. That is not the best idea because iCloud will also merge you contacts and messages. Huge mess with that route. So I would say it's possible but I would advise against it.
Hope that helps.

Firefox sync not syncing data between device

Although Firefox sync syncing, data does not advice.

It worked!! Thank you so much! Now, may I ask what happened? I feel like if this sort of thing happens again in the future I will have a better understanding of exactly what '''services.sync.clusterURL''' is and why resetting it resolves syncing issues. FYI I deleted some empty folders that were created when this whole issue started and forced an immediate sync and the problem device was no longer a problem. I performed this action on my laptop i.e. the problem device and on my desktop PC so I could thoroughly test the two-way communication and after syncing on either device the changes were reflected on the other.

Syncing apps between devices

I'm having difficulty syncing some apps between devices so that data is saved. I recently purchased an iPad mini for my daughter and want her to have some of her existing game apps to play, and then delete from my iPad. Anyone encountered the same, or any solutions?

I'm having the same problem with apps not syncing between my iPhone 5s and iPad Air. I made sure under settings > iTunes & Apps Store that automatic Download is on and selected for Music, Apps, Books, and Updates. Have you gotten a resolution to that issue?

Syncing reminders between devices

I use the Reminders app on my ipad - creating lists in the Exchange area - therefore seeing uncompleted tasks on Outlook when I log in, which is great.
My query is, if I was to purchase an ipod touch, and set up using the same apple ID, would all my reminder lists sync between the 2 devices or is this where iCloud comes into play? I notice I can create lists in the Reminders app under the iCloud option - but I like the fact I get a prompt in Outlook - hence why I create them under the Exchange area.
Hope this makes sense!
Many thanks

ps, just tried this from another thread:
I was having this problem. I changed the syncing range on the phone (under Settings > Reminders) to sync "All Reminders". I then logged into iCloud and opened the Reminders tab. This actually caused the reminders on the phone to match the ones in iCloud. I then made changes on my phone while that tab was still opened and the changes started to appear in iCould (sometimes takes a few seconds - up to 20 or 30) and synched on my iPad as well. After that, all of my changes started to sync across all devices - iPhone, iPad,Mac and in iCloud, regardless of where I made the initial change.
This works to some degree but just deleted all the reminders from my iPhone that hadn't been synced to the iCloud. Hmmmmm... Not a fix I'd recommend but I guess it works

Syncing emails between devices

i would like to have my emails synced between devices. if i delete on my imac, they should delete on my iphone and ipad. isn't this what syncing is supposed to do?

No.
This is what IMAP does. You need to use an IMAP account (versus POP) and then mail is stored on the mail server and you will get the same mail in the same state on all devices.
Who are you using for Mail? Not every service provides an IMAP account. But iCloud mail is IMAP, and is available for free from Apple.

Syncing notes between iPad and a MacBook with Lion OSX

I cannot sync notes manually between iPad and MacBook - I could do that with Snow Leopard by creating a subfolder in Notes and keeping my Notes in that subfolder. This doesn't work with Lion OSx - any ideas out there

I would prefer MobileMe but have not been able to use that to sync notes. So - I use itunes and check "Sync notes" under Other in the Info tab
