Syncing Notes 'On My Mac' to iPhone/iPad no longer possible...??

Since moving to Mountain Lion i am no longer able to sync notes that are 'on my mac' to my iphone/ipad. This used to be controlled by iTunes (you simply check the box or don't). This has worked as it should from from the beginning of itunes syncing. Unfortunately now with Mountain Lion the Notes sync option has disappeared from iTunes. Searching online it appears this is not longer possible with iTunes. So my question is can notes now ONLY be synced with iCloud? So any 'on my mac' notes will no longer transfer across devices with itunes or otherwise? I have tried to turn of notes syncing in icloud and unfortunately whether i have iCloud notes syncing on or off the notes the 'on my mac' notes no longer sync (obviously when the icloud notes sync is on the notes from the icloud group/account do sync as they should.
So my question is simply around syncing notes from the 'on my mac' group across devices (this is because there are some notes i do not want to put on icloud but the question is also valid for any users that do not use icloud, as it seems if you do not use icloud you can not longer transfer/sync notes across devices).
Thanks for your help

This is very confusing because this Apple support document seems to indicate it is possible to sync Notes through iTunes. But I have not been able to get it to work...
"If you want to sync notes with iTunes instead of using the over-the-air feature, disable Notes sync for the account using Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars or Settings > iCloud."

UPDATED: Sorry I'm dumb... that comment I quoted above applies to 10.7, not 10.8. It's clearly stated in the support doc that Notes cannot be synced through iTunes under 10.8. Crazy....

After installing mavericks a number of apps are not supported in Mac and iphone/ipad

after having istalled mavericks several apps do not function on te iMac /iPhone/iPad
such as C Cleaner on the Mac and several apps on the phone/ ipad do not syncronise the updates anymore.

is by the way available in app store as crapware?
Sorry, again I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Language barrier. Your English is certainly better than my proficiency in your language.
If you are asking, "Is crapware like C Cleaner available in the app store?" , or, "if software is available in the App Store, does that guarantee that it is good?", I don't know. I can't speak for Apple's decision making process in what does or does not go into the App Store. Dishonest developers (and crapware developers are, by definition, dishonest), can certainly inflate their own ratings. So I wouldn't go by the ratings.
A comprehensive discussion of Mac maintenance is perhaps best left for another day.
But my opinion is this:
OSX is very, very well written software, and has powerful and effective troubleshooting and maintenance software already built in.
There are very few circumstances in which one might need any third-party software to diagnose or treat a software problem with a Mac. Especially if you avoid putting crapware into your computer in the first place.
Any third party software that says it will clean, defragment, optimize, or speed up your mac is probably crapware, and will harm your computer. People install these apps before they have any basic knowledge of the maintenance software that is already built in to their Macs.

How can i sync notes from my mac to my iPad?

How can i sync notes created on my mac to my ipad?

By making sure that you have the same settings on both your mac and your ipad for icloud- with the same apple ID for both. Then they should sync automatically.

I have iCloud successfully set up my Mac and iPhone iPad. Mac will not transfer to my other devices. Other devices transfer successfully. I have checked my iCloud setting on my Mac, but cannot see a problem. Can you help me?

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

How to merge notes from my mac to iPhone

I am trying to help my husband sync Notes from his Mac to his iPhone 5S. I think when he set up his new phone he clicked not to merge with iCloud and this might be the reason he can't sync his Notes. Is there a way to now allow the merge with iCloud for Mac/iPhone/iPad? I don't know how to pull up this option now. I am not very tech savy . .any suggestions/help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Where are your notes currently located? Perhaps they are in an email account such as Yahoo or GMail?

Problem with Notes from Mail synching to Iphone, Ipad

I use Mobile Me. Notes are correctly synching from iphone to MAC..
but NOT synching from MAC to Iphone and Ipad..
THey used to work until a few weeks ago
Thanks

That's just a difference in how Outlook interprets email characters from the Mac. You shouldn't rely on using tabs for spacing, since you can never be sure if any of the text will align correctly in the recipient's email program. A better option is to use a monospaced font and plain text formatting.

MAC TO IPHONE (IPAD) FILE TRANSFER

HI COLLEAGUES
WE HAVE A MAC BOOK AIR+2 IPHONE+A IPAD. I KNOW HIW TO COPY (IMPORT) PHOTOS OR MOVIES TO MAC. CAN YOU EXPLAIN ME BY SIMPLEV WORDS HOW TO COPY A FILE (PHOTO,...) FROM MAC TO IPHONE (IPAD)? BY A DOMESTIC WAY
THANKS

Hey davoodmac,
Thanks for the question. To copy photos from your Mac to your iOS devices, you’ll want to use the Sync Photos option in iTunes. For more information, see the following resource:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You can use iPhoto or choose a folder of photos to sync to your device. You may also be interested in learning about iCloud Photo Sharing:

Sync notes from macbook pro to iphone via icloud

trouble syncing notes from macbook pro to iphone 5s

If you bought a Mac OS X application, you can’t.
If you bought an iOS application, either sync it or click here and follow the instructions.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your best method would be to connect via USB and transfer that way, since videos are not transferred using photostream.
However you can stop photos on your mac being added to photostream in the iPhoto preferences > photostream by unchecking the automatic upload box.

Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router

Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router. However they all show to be connected with their corresponding bars and the ip's are all fine. Earlier today it started flucuating on and off about every 5 min making work impossible and now it seems to be completely broken (im currently on my iphone connected though its own internet) Does anyone know how or ehy this happened and how i can fix this? And to know if this originates from the router or something else entirely. Thank you!

Hi - some clarifications would help narrow down some symptoms - just what has been turning off? - has the light been solid green but the modem isn't providing wi-fi? - or is the light flashing yellow with no internet? - which can mean several things - does the light go out completey? - so if you can report on exactly what is happenening and when, maybe someone can help you - we also need to know if there any error messages along the way - we also need the types of devices involved and how they are attached - kind of like a nework map - the more info that you provide, the more answers you will get.

Cannot sync Notes FROM my Mac TO my iPhone

I am an experienced Mac user but a new iPhone 3GS owner. I am not able to sync notes TO my phone from my Macbook Pro (w. Leopard 10.5.7). I am able to sync notes FROM my phone TO my Macbook Pro, however. Is there a simple solution to this problem? I have tried changing the synching settings in iTunes to "replace" info on the iPhone with info on my Mac, to no avail..
Thanks in advance for any help.

There is no direct work around for these Notes sync problems -- its just not working properly at this time for Mac users -- which is the first time I have EVER seen something work better between iPhone and PC than with iPhone and Mac...
Try doing an iSync>preferences>Reset sync History from iSync in your applications folder and see if that works.
You will get a lot of responses to this of people finding one way or another to work around this -- try them all, because there isn't a single consistent "fix" for notes sync. It just plain old doesn't work right.

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!
