My notes are not syncing between Mac and iphone - I have tried every suggestion

Did you have any luck solving this? Just bought a brand new iPad Pro and the notes won't carry over from there to my phone. I don't have time for this nonsense. The main reason I use Apple is bc all my stuff flows seamlessly between devices. Pretty ridiculous and I don't even know where to go to try to solve the problem.

Anyone having these problems? I fixed it. Basically I copied and pasted all my text notes and then permanently deleted all notes data from iCloud …. it deleted absolutely everything! Then i turned notes off and on and oilá, everything synced!

I have lost all my newly edited notes. I did not read the warning. Those were very important work related notes. How did you recover them back? How did I recover them back? Kindly help, as that data is extremely important to my work.

would like to add my voice to the chorus of frustration. iphone & ipad notes not syncing with laptop (macbook air bought this past winter). if I turn off icloud sync on laptop, then turn it back on, they do load -- note by note, painstakingly. I must do this anytime I change a note on a mobile device, if I want to see it on my laptop. this is making me crazy.

For me, the issue showed up after signing out of my id and signing back in. Once I opened notes and turned on sync nothing happened. I went back in, turned it off and turned it right back on and everything loaded.

For what it is worth, I have an older Mac and newer iPhone and newer iPad. Notes on the Mac is an older version of Notes compared to Notes on iPhone and iPad. It seems impossible to tell exactly what Notes version — not OS version - you have on each device BUT if one device is older, it stops some notes syncing across all devices. In my case if I create a note using Tags or tables on the iPad it does not sync -even between devices that could use Tags, because one device does not use Tags - in my case my old Mac. A message does pop up saying This note in not supported on some of your devices. It means not supported on ALL your devices and so won’t work on ANY device - that’s just ff’ing great, if you ask me. I’ll try to disconnect the Mac from all accounts used by Notes and only use Notes by logging into iCloud and see what that does. In the meantime, I’ll keep the notes in Notes very simple.

UPDATE using new features on new iPad, DOES sync on new iPhone. But not on older Mac - so I’ll browse to iCloud on the Mac to access Notes to see if the new features are syncing there.

I’m glad you found a solution. It doesn’t work for me though. I only have 1 shared note and do not have any embedded files or images.

I got my notes in the mac with ventura finally, but I cant lock the new ones AND then they doesnt sync with the iPhone!!!!

Wow

I did these actions but still no joy.

Thanks a lot for this valuable help. Your solution solved my issue of notes sync-up.

It Worked!!

Thanks a bunch.

I never thought about add an existing account...

Now my phone is syncing and the size of the notes app is normal again!

Thank you this worked for me - my Notes on my iPad were being entered in an outlook (?) folder and not iCloud. Moved the notes and it works

This did seem to work for me.
