Web Versions of Notes and Reminders Go Live on iCloud.com

[madsci954]

I just tried sending 2 emails from my @gmail address, one to x@me.com, one to x@icloud.com. The @me.com went through, but the @icloud.com was bounced back.

Finally editable notes!

At last! Something so basic but so useful for those of us who use notes heavily in their workflow. This is a very welcomed function that should have been there from the beginning.

I have tried multiple times to add an alias in iCloud, with a result of "alias cannot be saved at this time."

I don't think the icloud addresses will work until iOS6 is released. It probably only works with developer accounts right now.

 

[gotluck]

for some reason, i was thinking you need to have logged your id in on iOS 6 before you got an @icloud.com email alias. I could be wrong.

 

[webbuzz]

I think gotluck and newagemac are correct.

why is there so much ugliness? what's wrong with apple? why can't notes look like icloud mail, for example...instead of a shoestore chain CEO's desk in 1962?? why can't i change that font? and really, what's up with the leather pocket? how useless is that?

to my surprise, notes is still visible in icloud's mail...for now.

apple needs to give up the 'desktop circa 60's' thing; at least, on my mac, i can get rid of the leather in notes, etc...

I just don't understand Apple. All the icons are consistent between iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, and iCloud but they decided to revamp the icons on iPod nano. It just does not make logical sense. It just really bugs me not understanding why they did it!!!

That's easy. It's because the iPod nano doesn't run iOS. If the icons looked exactly the same the expectation would be that the apps are the same which they're clearly not.

Don't get too upset over it.

They should've launched this the moment ML went out the door. What's the point of having the Notes and Reminders sync without having web-access like most of the other stuff?

...

Not bad for a first try.

You should really read this:

Dude..... What the heck??

You already have [an iCloud.com email address]. It's automatic.

I tried my (apparent) iCloud.com email address, and the iCloud.com login window shook its head.

Literally. It shook.

Then why did the previous generation iPod nano icons consistent with all the other product lines? All they had to do is use the same icons for this newer model.
These icons are beautifully done, the new ones are crap!

yeah icloud.com address not working for me. can't log in with it to the website or send email to it. i have a me.com i'm hoping it will transition over. don't have iOS but i do have mountain lion. fingers crossed

 

[somethingelsefl]

Good! My web browser needed more faux-leather and torn pages!

 

[RobertMartens]

Isn't iCloud.com technically skeuomorphic, transplanting and mimicking the experience from a physical device (iPad) into a scenario which doesn't really need it, purely for the purposes of familiarization?

Since iPad's Calendar and Notes themselves are skeuomorphic, we appear to have skeuomorph-ception.

Good use of skeuomorph. You used is as an adjective and also invented your own ending. Nice

same. I can log in with @icloud.com tho.

Still no sign of an updated version of iWork or iLife. What are all their software engineers doing all day?

Sleeping, a lot of sleeping.

No one ever comes to visit them.

Who can blame them.

 

[newyorksole]

yeah icloud.com address not working for me. can't log in with it to the website or send email to it. i have a me.com i'm hoping it will transition over. don't have iOS but i do have mountain lion. fingers crossed

I'm able to log in. I think they'll all transition soon.

Find my iPhone can now show all devices at once, which is quite cool, particularly when my iphone, ipad and work and home computers aren't all in the same place.

 

[chaosconan]

I'm able to log in. I think they'll all transition soon.

I can login just fine and I see the new Apps . Cool!

Reminders-> Completed have a "Clear All" button. Finally, I can get rid of 20 items at once. I hope iOS6 adds such a button to the iPhone interface, too.

I'm able to log in. I think they'll all transition soon.

are you using the password from your me.com account? thanks

 

[newyorksole]

are you using the password from your me.com account? thanks

Yeah

 

[codyc1515]

it wont let me log in with @icloud.com

I had this trouble and I was absolutely certain it was the correct password as I had just used it on my iPhone. The only way to fix it was to reset the password.

Can someone please explain... why the HECK should I need a @me or @icloud e-mail account to sync Notes?

I already have an Apple ID. I am already setup with iCloud. Why, Apple, Why? I have enough e-mail accounts as it is.

I suppose I should be glad I can use the iCloud Contacts and Calendar apps without it.
