To do this, you\u2019ll need to ensure that Notes is enabled within your iCloud settings, and check that you\u2019re putting your notes into the iCloud account and not storing them locally on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.<\/p>\n<p>To check whether you have iCloud sync enabled for the Notes app on your iPhone, open Settings on an iPhone or iPad and tap on your name at the top of the list. Choose \u201ciCloud\u201d and scroll down until you see Notes. Make sure that the toggle next to the app is enabled.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-811879\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/icloud_notes_iphone.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Enable Note in iCloud preferences on iOS\" width=\"650\" height=\"419\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can do this on a Mac under System Preferences (or System Settings) &gt; Apple ID.

Your device will likely warn you that you\u2019re low on space, but you can check manually by looking at the colored iCloud Storage bar in this menu on either device. If you\u2019re out of storage, you\u2019ll need to buy more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Check How Much iCloud Storage You Have Left<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Next_Check_Youre_Putting_Notes_in_iCloud\"><\/span>Next: Check You\u2019re Putting Notes in iCloud<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With Notes in iCloud enabled, launch the Notes app and take a look at the top-level Folders screen (iPhone or iPad) or the sidebar (on a Mac).

You\u2019ll need to move them to iCloud for this to work. To do this on an iPhone or iPad, tap on a folder then use the ellipsis \u201c\u2026\u201d context menu button in the corner of the screen to \u201cMove Note\u201d to your iCloud account.

Moving from Evernote involves exporting your notebooks one by one to ENEX files, then importing them to Apple Notes as folders.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Notes on macOS doesn\u2019t seem too fond of large uploads like this. Sometimes the upload only partially completes and when checking your collection on an iPhone or the web at <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.icloud.com\/\">iCloud.com<\/a>, not everything has been successfully uploaded.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you should do is be patient. From experience, we\u2019ve seen a folder of around 150 notes take a few hours to properly show up on all devices. When the notes finally do show up, compare the collection on your iPhone with the collection on your Mac to ensure attachments like images are included.<\/p>\n<p>Fixing the mess left behind by an incomplete export can be time-consuming, but there\u2019s no need to lose data. If the folders you\u2019ve uploaded on your Mac refuse to show up, you can move them offline by dragging them to the \u201cOn My Mac\u201d section (make sure this is enabled under Notes &gt; Preferences in the menu bar at the top of the screen).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-811885\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/enable_on_my_mac_apple_notes.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Enable &quot;On My Mac&quot; Notes account\" width=\"650\" height=\"226\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Once all of your notes are stored safely on your Mac, disable Notes in iCloud on your Mac under System Preferences (or System Settings) &gt; Apple ID by unchecking the box next to \u201cNotes\u201d in the iCloud tab. You can then turn the feature back on and wait for your Mac to download any notes still in your iCloud account from other devices.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, be patient. This stage essentially brings your Mac into sync with everything else, so you want to wait for all of your devices to have the same notes library before moving forward. Once complete, you can start moving folders back to iCloud by dragging and dropping.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Mac app doesn\u2019t seem too fond of large transfers, you might want to move slowly and upload folders one by one. As you go, make sure the changes appear on your other devices and iCloud.com. If you encounter problems, you can always drag your folders back to the \u201cOn My Mac\u201d account to keep your data safe.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_Patient_With_the_Mac_App\"><\/span>Be Patient With the Mac App<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Based on first-hand experience and anecdotes posted online, Apple\u2019s Notes app for macOS seems slow to push changes to the server. There\u2019s no \u201cSync Now\u201d button you can use to upload and download changes, and the small spinning pinwheel that appears next to the \u201ciCloud\u201d account label shows up seemingly randomly.<\/p>\n<p>This includes both new notes created on the fly, and large uploads initiated when moving notes into Apple\u2019s cloud ecosystem. There\u2019s not a lot that can be done about this beyond exercising patience before getting too frustrated that things aren\u2019t showing up where they\u2019re supposed to.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-767722\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/notes_icloud_browser.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Unlock locked note in Apple Notes\" width=\"650\" height=\"314\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, you can use iCloud.com to see your Notes and get an immediate overview of what is going on. This eliminates the possibility that the iPhone app isn\u2019t working correctly by fetching the latest version of your notes and displaying them in a web interface.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve seen evidence of three versions of an Apple Notes library while a large upload completes. The \u201ccomplete\u201d library as it was uploaded from a Mac, a partial library that\u2019s not been fully downloaded on an iPhone, and the \u201ctrue\u201d picture of the current upload status on iCloud.com.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disable_Notes_in_iCloud_But_Be_Careful\"><\/span>Disable Notes in iCloud (But Be Careful)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can always wipe the slate clean by removing your iCloud Notes from one device and letting them download again. This is risky, however, since any Notes that have not been uploaded to iCloud or stored locally on your device will be lost. You should be careful when doing this to ensure you don\u2019t lose any data.<\/p>\n<p>On a Mac, you can use a tool like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/exporter\/id1099120373?ls=1&amp;mt=12?at=1010l392g\">Exporter<\/a>\u00a0to grab a copy of your notes in markdown format before doing anything too drastic (unfortunately you can\u2019t restore a Notes library this way, but at least you get a copy of your notes and any attachments).
