If you have a Gmail account (or a Google Apps account), on your Mac, go to "Mail, Contacts & Calendars," add the account, and tick the "Notes" box:Īfter you've done that, syncing still works as it did back with iOS 4.

Since my calendar can sync from my desktop to my iOS, Android, and Windows Phone devices, how about my notes?

Unlike in iCloud, clicking on the paper-clip attachment icon didn't download the image for viewing. Similar to iCloud, the picture didn't show: I also found that the note successfully flowed to both my iPad and my iPhone. The picture didn't display, but it was included as an attachment: But for me, using Notes as a separate app for the first time in Mountain Lion, I sure found it confusing that it wasn't a separate app in iCloud.Īnyway, success! There was my note within Mail. I guess it still makes sense for many people that Notes remains part of Mail in iCloud. I gather that before Mountain Lion, Notes was part of the Mail app (as an Outlook user, I never went into the Mac mail app). Where was the online Notes app there? I didn't see it listed alongside other applications such as Mail or Contacts:Įventually, I went into the Mail app and realized that Notes lives there.

Next, there was the small issue of the Notes app continually crashing on my Mac.

Now I have two addresses, but problem solved. Finally, I allowed it to create a new one for me. Why wouldn't iCloud just let me enter that? No matter what I tried, I couldn't find a way to enter my existing address. My iPhone demanded that I create an address in order to turn on note syncing.Īnnoyingly, I already had an address.

Yesterday, I loaded up Mountain Lion and explored how the new Notes feature might help me get my notes back in sync. That's left my notes effectively trapped within Outlook, unable to flow over-the-air to my iPhone or iPad, much less my Android phone or tablets. It was especially nice that I could sync from Outlook to my iPhone using a tethered connection. As a longtime Outlook user, I've used Outlook's own notes feature for my occasional note-taking needs. I don't take a lot of notes, but I've found it handy to have some things like frequent flyer numbers jotted down digitally in an easy-to-locate format. But what if you're an Android user or want your notes to flow outside the Apple ecosystem for some reason? Yes, it can be done.
