ICloud – Transfer Notes from iCloud

icloud

I originally created an Apple ID for use on the App Store in iTunes. When Apple introduced iCloud my Apple ID ended up being used.

I recently creating a new iCloud ID for my personal use, retaining the original for Family Purchases.

I just realised that I have lost all my Notes, although these are still on the web in the original iCloud account.

Is there any way I can transfer these to my new iCloud ID? I would prefer a direct transfer if possible, or export data. At the worst I could copy one by one, but this would be tedious.

Transferring notes from one Apple-ID to another is quite difficult on iOS, because when you logout from one account all the notes in iCloud disappear locally, dissimilar to the contacts. so I recommend you to do this job on your Mac, it's so easy. I assume your notes sync with iCloud on your OS X machine.

  1. Open note app, login your original iCloud ID if you haven't and wait for all the notes sync completely
  2. Click the "Notes"->"add account" menu to add another iCloud account (you can only check to select "notes" service)
  3. Click "View"->"Show Folders list" if the folders is hidden
  4. Select oringal account from the folder on the left side
  5. Choose the notes you want transfer by ⌘ or ⇧ Click, you can choose "Edit"->"Select All" as well
  6. Drag all your selected notes to the new account on the left folder
  7. Wait for the sync to complete and check the result on the iCloud web site.
