    Strategic question regarding Notes

    I have a bunch of hand-written notebooks with entries that are structured like a diary (with a date and a headline). I plan on transferring these over to Apple Notes so that they are better searchable and safer than in a physical notebook (which can get lost). Also, I plan on writing any future...

    I've browsed the forum and it seems some people also have this issue, but I just want to know your opinion about this and if you've solved the issue. Notes do not sync when it's created from the Notes app on both my iPhone and Mac. The existing notes will load just fine but when I make a new...

    iOS Notes Folders Not Deleting

    In iOS 10, I am unable to remove two folders I created in iOS Notes. As soon as I delete them, they come back. I have restored my iPhone (a clean restore), logged out of iCloud and logged back in etc. Both the folders are empty. Has anybody faced a similar issue?

    Notes not syncing across devices

    iOS 10.1.1 iPad Air (cellular) & iPhone 6s+ I make notes in the Apple Notes app on my iPad, and they don't show up on my phone, even days later. I have all iCloud options turned on, on both devices. What am I doing wrong? On the same devices, Google Keep syncs almost instantaneously.

    iCloud Drive - highlights and notes

    Hey, I have tons of pdfs on my iCloud account as I find it useful to read scientific articles on my iPad. The problem is that most of the times I like as well to annotate them or to simply highlight certain parts. On iBooks I've seen that you can't do that with pdfs. But on the iCloud Drive app...

    MAJOR data loss bug in the Notes app (WARNING)

    I have found a major bug in Note that can potentially result in you losing saved pictures in a locked note. First, this works as expected/it should: If you have LOCKED a note–even after you've entered your password to unlock it–Notes does not let you drag and drop images from the note to the...

    Notes app doesn't always sync correctly

    When I enter a new note on my iMac in the Notes app, this is correctly synced to my iOS devices. However, when I add text to the same note this is often not synced. I can only solve this by quitting and restaring the Notes app on my Mac (and forcing a sync). This is annoying as I often...
