Solution Omega: While holding iPhone in left hand and laptop in the other, slowly twirl on one foot for three complete revolutions. Hop twice, then say "Apple is the new Microsoft" three times. Set the iPhone on top of the laptop, do a pirouette, and your devices should now be synced.
(But you know, I wouldn't mind if this were the only solution needed and it reliably worked.)
APPLE IS THE NEW MICROSOFT…
Totally with you, why things are no longer working as it did before with APPLE!
Jobs should come back into play.
RIP
Thanks a lot – switched off notes in my iPhone and it deleted the lot – of course they did not come back because IT WAS NOT SYNCED!!! Dumbass
D Reynolds, with you on that. Lost a couple of days figuring out how to solve this. Annoyed!
And unsafe how long it will stay working.
Reliability was a Apple thing, looks like it's gone…
Really hope that this and many other this get on track, as they were suppose to be.
i can't go to Settings -> iCloud in my iphone because it is grayed out!
I have not been able to figure out why,or how to fix that!
help anyone?
Tried solution 4, it deleted the notes that I was trying to sync. Thanks for nothing
Thanks a million. #5 worked perfectly.
Dorothy – re: Option Number 5, when I turn off notes in iCloud, it warns me that all notes on my phone will be deleted. If I do this, turn my phone off and then back on again, and then turn on notes, will all my deleted notes reappear? I don't want to lose my iCloud notes. Thanks.
With Steve Jobs gone Apple have started messing up. Well what goes up must come down I guess.
I think a pad and pen is in my future… Thanks anyway
Problem is for me this is only a temporary solution I've logged out of my account on my phone sign back in again started notes up again then I have to re-pair my Apple Watch because phone calls won't ring through I have to set up wallet again call the banks to confirm my accounts it ends up being a whole long long drawn out thing and then a few days later it's not working again FML
BIG Thanks, the solution #5 works.
Solution 1 works. Don't try #5 without backing up your stuff ppl
