IPad Notes problem 2

[twerppoet]

Hi Twerppoet

Just tried your solution and it works like a dream, ithink, when my wife has finished her game, will give it the full test.

How on earth did you know how to come up with that solution, I couldn't see anything like that in the manual.

Well done and thanks again

I have three accounts and several devices and/or computers. In the process of getting myself setup, and troubleshooting other people's problems I've turned just about everything on/off at some time or other. Eventually you learn the little quirks.

You are welcome.

That makes sense now. I do use Gmail, but only through the main native mail app. (I'm single, and don't dabble in such sharing/syncing matters, I guess). Thanks.

If you set up your GMail account as an Exchange account (as most of us eventually do) you lose the Note syncing option. You get Contact and multiple Calendar syncing in return, so it's a pretty good deal.

You can get the Note syncing back. Just setup a second account (same GMail address) using the default setup, then turn off everything (Mail and Calendars) in the settings except the Note syncing. Everything works fine as long as you remember that each service (Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Notes) should be turned on in only one of the accounts.

I do this. Don't know why I bother, since I use Evernote almost exclusively for anything I care about.

With Evernote you get your notes synced on your iDevices, your desktop, and a website (even, shhh, Android). They are always available, and you can create audio, and photo notes as well as the usual text. If the iPad/iPhone version would just support rich text it would be perfect.

As you can tell, I really like Evernote. Nothing wrong with the native Notes app, it's actually pretty well done. I just like the extra features and syncing, so I can get to my notes from almost anywhere.

I received all of my notes in emails, I didn't send them they just showed up. Now they r not on my iPad which is where I want them so they r with me in meetings. Do not want to have to print them.

Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select your account. Turn Note syncing back on. They should appear back on your iPad the next time you open the Notes app, providing you have internet.

These notes are stored locally so they will be there later when you have no internet connection (after they sync), but if you Turn off syncing, or delete them from the mail folder, the will be deleted then next time you open the Note app and have an internet connection.

If you do not want your notes synced with your mail account my recommendations to avoid this are in post 11.
