    Note taking and document management similar to OneNote 2016

    Hi guys, I'm looking for a software similar to OneNote 2016 (only available on Windows) that I can use to prepare classes. OneNote 2016 which is available on Windows is pretty neat for that as it allows me to structure my classes (the document management aspect) and is a very flexible note...

    Can't share folders in Notes

    Hi, everyone, One of the best updates to Notes, in my opinion, is that you can apparently now share whole folders of notes with people as opposed to just sharing individual notes. I've tried this with my wife, however, and it's not working. Each time I try, whether it be via Messages or...

I used to be able to share a drawing on the big screen, but not anymore because it's not mirroring my iPad screen anymore, and I...

    iPhone SE (2016) Iphone SE not responding - need to recover notes

    This morning, while I was on my phone, the screen went black and a spinning circle appeared. My first thought was to do the hard reset by holding down the power and home button. This solved nothing, the apple logo came on and then it went back to the black screen. I contacted apple support and...
