Notes-iPhone, Notes-Mail and Sync ...

Like a lot of us, I have had a difficult time with "Notes" and syncing my iPhone and my Mac Book Pro.

While I do not have all of the answers, I would like to provide some information - based on experience.

First, it is necessary to clear up some confusion.

On the iPhone there is an app called Notes. I will refer to this as Notes(iPhone/app).

On the iPhone there is a Folder in Mail called Notes. I will refer to this as Notes(iPhone/Mail).

On the Mac there is a category in Mail, within Reminders called Notes. I will refer to this as Notes(Mac/Mail).

1. In order to sync Notes(iPhone/app) with your Mac you must connect via USB. There is no wireless/MobileMe way to sync.

2. If you create a Note in Notes(iPhone/app) and then sync via USB with your Mac, the Note will appear in Mail, in the Reminders category, in the On My Mac folder.

3. If you create a Note on your Mac from Mail, in the name@me.com folder in Reminders, it will automatically show up on your iPhone in the Mail app in Notes(iPhone/Mail) but it will not show up in the iPhone app Notes(iPhone/app).

4. If you sync via USB, the Note you created in 3. will show up in the iPhone app Notes(iPhone/app).

Hope this helps.
