Notes shows double accounts

[zenbrother]

Hi all,

After upgrading to Yosemite I have a funny thing going on. In my "notes" app my iCloud account is logged in twice and it shows double notes. When I disable syncing for notes in iCloud setting only one shows.

I can't figure out how to disable the "other" one

This is very strange.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

Thx,
zen

Yeap. Got the same thing. I managed to get rid of it in Public Beta 4 by randomly disabling and enabling Notes, hover it doesn't work anymore.

I managed to duplicate my earlier fix after messing around a bit!

1. Quit Notes app
2. Go to System Preferences > iCloud
3. Uncheck "Notes"
4. Quit System Preferences
5. Launch Notes app again and notice how only one iCloud folder is still visible
6. Make changes to a random note and give it time to sync (yes, it will still sync)
7. Go back to System Preferences > iCloud
8. "Notes" is checked automatically, correcting the problem

Happened to me as well but I re-installed yosemite again for another different reason and it didn't happen this time

I tried the steps but did't work. It's a little annoying but I used notes mostly on my iPhone anyway. It might resolve on it's own...

or NOT

let's see, but thanks for the tips guys.

Strange that didn't work for you. I just asked a friend with the same issue and he managed to fix it that way as well.

Strange indeed. I tried it a few more times but it does't do the trick

If you disable Notes in iCloud preferences, do you end up with 1x iCloud in Notes or do they both disappear?

Then only one account show up

Same issue for me. I resolved it by unchecking Notes in iCloud system preferences - however when I clicked to uncheck it, it briefly removed the tick and added it back - then when I opened Notes ones of the accounts had gone...

 

[zenbrother]

I tried once more, it doesn't get checked back on by itself. Kinda a bummer

Reinstall yosemite

 

[zenbrother]

Reinstall yosemite

yeah i might have to, don't really want to tho

 

[zenbrother]

I found a solution!

I signed out of my iCloud account on my laptop, did a restart & signed back in. Now only one iCloud account shows up.

Thank God I tried that because I was about to do a clean install again

Anyone who still has that problem, please try that.

Awesomeness,
zen

n-evo wins! Thanks for solving a nagging issue for me. Wasn't a huge deal, but nonetheless an irritant. Appreciated!
