MacOS – How to sync notes between two macs with the new Notes.app in Mountain Lion

data synchronizationicloudmacosnotes.app

I've tried the following to sync notes between two macs with the new notes.app in Mountain Lion:

  1. System Preferences > iCloud and check the "document and date" service.
  2. System Preferences > Mail Calendar, select the iCloud account and check the sync notes box, then click add. It unchecked itself after I quit system preferences.
  3. System Preferences > iCloud and check the sync notes box. It asked me to specify or create a @me.com account.

How do I sync notes between two macs with the new notes.app in Mountain Lion?

Is the only way to do this is to create a @me.com account?

Best Answer

Yes. You have to have an iCloud account for iCloud syncing to work.
