I have tons of notes on my iPhone. When iCloud came out, I created an account.
Now I have the Notes App in Mountain Lion, but only notes added after the iCloud account creation date are showing there.
In my Notes iOS app I can see three 'Accounts': All Notes, On My iPhone (old unsynched notes) and iCloud (new synched notes).
Is there an easy (or complicated but automated) way to get all notes from my iPhone on iCloud? I would like to avoid copy-pasting all of them into new notes, as I have tons of them.

You need a 10.6/10.7 system handy as this doesn't work in 10.8. The method I've previously used is as follows:
Plug your iPhone into your Mac and go into iTunes -> Your Device -> Info tab and choose to Sync notes.
This should grab the notes out of the
On my iPhone
section and dump them into Mail.app.Your notes should appear under the Notes section in Mail.app, but ideally filed under an
On My Mac
header.Simply select all the notes from under
On My Mac
and drag them into theiCloud
section. That should upload them all to iCloud and save you some time copying and pasting or fiddling with other software!
