I haven't used notes on the iphone before,,,usually used stickies,,
I see it on the iphone, see it on sync preferences but can't seem to find it on my HD

Maybe this Note will be helpful?

thanks chuck but i may have missed how to sync with my desktop?

may I be missing a notes application on my desktop?

The Notes that sync with iPhone/iPod touch is NOT a separate application. It's built-in to Leopard Mail.

Your notes will be listed under (I don't get this at all) Reminders on the left hand sidebar.

Notes created on your iPhone or Mac (via Mail) will be sync'd back and forth.

I love this feature and it's something I've been asking for since day one! However, now this seems to be the only data that you have to sync via a cable (not media, data). All other data can be sync'd over the air with MobileMe, but not Notes! sigh

Maybe in Snow Leopard or iPhone 3.1. The framework is there because notes already sync up to MobileMe. So it's just the iPhone OS that needs to be updated for this.

does that reciprocate from mail back to iphone???

What i mean is I opened a note to edit the info and it won't let me type on it. That's what i need ...typing on the iphone is tedious for my big paws and I need to keep notes on certain items that i can edit either atr home or mobile me.

Notes typed in Mail on your computer will sync to the phone and back if you sync via USB cable.

I have created notes in both places and been able to edit them in either place.

I don't have an iPhone, but I have the touch. No problem editing notes on either the computer or the touch. If you are running the latest system on the iPhone, you can turn it and type in landscape mode. Gives you a bigger keyboard that is much easier on the fingers. And FWIW, if you accidentally hit the key next to the one you want, just slide to the right key without lifting. No backspacing needed that way.

thanks for the hints Phyllis,,,I'll train my PAWS to do the "slide"

thanks for the help folks

stay cool

wouldn't it be nicer if the sync could happen just thru mobile me as Terry had inferred

so I created a few notes in mail , synced with a USB cable
opened notes on the iphone and then

Nothing

they did come thru mail now how do I get them into the Notes APP?

Did you check the box in iTunes to Sync Notes?

I'll check thanks

the notes was checked , the iphone syncs with the notes on mail correct?

No luck with the sync

FWIW, I had a problem a couple of months ago with a couple of apps not syncing data on my touch. I did a forced reboot, and that fixed the problem.

I'll try ,, thanks

let me ask again,,, after syncing ,,the notes I composed in Mail,,, will sync on the iphone
in the APP Notes,,, correct? not in Mail under notes

That's where mine are, Notes app on the touch and Notes folder under Reminders in Mail on the computer.
