3.0 Notes Sync

[Duvi]

I never really use the notes app. Never had a real need. I would never remember to look there... maybe it's a habit I would have to get in to.

So there is no way to sync notes over the air via MobileMe? What does the sync notes tickbox do in MobileMe prefspane?

It does work, but it's not quite intuitive.
I thought it would sync to my notes folder in outlook, but it actually syncs to a new 'handheld synchronization' notes folder in outlook.
Don't know why it doesn't sync to the main notes folder, but I moved my notes around and now have them on the iphone.

THANK YOU for clearing this up for me!

Does anyone know if it's possible to do the note sync over exhange or does it have to be an iTunes sync?

It has to be iTunes sync. There's a 3rd party app that will do notes and task list but I don't remember the name off the top of my head.

There's a fantastic iPhone App called IMExchange for syncing notes OTA from Outlook to your iPhone. You can check it out by Googling Rerlsoft or IMExchange.


I was able to download it, then it mysteriously disappeared from iTunes. I contacted the developer and got this reply yesterday "Shortly after the release of OS 3.0 an incompatibility came to light when syncing with Exchange 2003 and tasks previously created by Windows Mobile. The problem caused the app to crash when syncing these tasks. Because of this I decided to pull the App from the store until the update is approved by Apple, which should be in about 2 weeks."

This is a great solution for me since Exchange won't sync Notes OTA. I get my contacts and calendar via Exchange and notes via IMExchange. Hopefully, it will be back to iTunes in a couple weeks.

Notes sync with Outlook via iTunes. Works great on my PC.
