There are many TH-cam channels devoted to the iPhone and iPad but I can honestly say that when it comes to explaining how to use a particular Apple App.Yours is by far the best. Your clear diction, explanation and careful guidance is far ahead of the others. As a “Senior” and a lover of the capabilities of the iPad, you as been an immense help in my learning and User experience. Many thanks indeed.
Tom, I can't imagine how many hours it took you to put this together. The presentation is so smooth - no fumbling for words (I assume you must script it out?). You undoubtedly spent hours researching the functionality of the app itself, then put together all the appropriate screen shots, etc. The result is a very professional-looking, thorough, and informative tutorial. If I might offer one small suggestion, it would be to add some kind of emphasis (red circle, arrow, etc) showing the button or icon you refer to when navigating. Very well done, sir!
Thanks! And I’ve actually already started incorporating more visual cues in my more recent videos, so hopefully it makes it easier for people to follow along.
Apple had a product called Claris Organizer and it had all the elements that you are asking. Calendar, reminder, and notes. It also allowed for the integration and connection of documents to calendar events reminders and notes. It was a brilliantly conceived and implemented product. But they sold it to a company called palm so that company could have a desktop application that their palm pilot organizer could synchronize with.
"I'd love to see Apple integrate Notes, Calendar and Reminders together in a future iOS." YES!!! If they did this, I would be able to end my search for an app that I like that does this!! Couldn't agree more!!
Nice job, thanks! I'd like to suggest using an eye-catching indicator to highlight your cursor movement/position. It will help keep up with your audio stream..
Tom, your tutorials have been an absolute game-changer for me! Your straightforward and comprehensive approach to explaining Apple app features has made learning a breeze. Thanks to you, I've mastered so much and feel more confident using these apps. Keep up the amazing work!❤
So glad I watched your video because I really was unsure of how powerful Apple Notes were and then I did a search on dictation and apple help had a short 30 second video on dictation into notes this is a powerful dictation note taking app. I will have to see if thousands of folders will break it but I am game. Appreciate the sharing and folder organization of your video. Thanks again.
Dictation on Apple devices is pretty good in my opinion. I wouldn't want to use it for long periods, but for jotting down the odd note without having to type, it's pretty good. I even tried using it to reply to all of my emails at one point, allowing me to reply while I was making a coffee or breakfast. It was a bit of an unnecessary life hack, but it was cool to be able to do it!
Really useful-I knew most things but picked up a few tricks. One small correction that I only recently realized myself - you don’t actually have to tap just on the flat part of the Apple Pencil to get it to switch uses. For a long time I thought this was the case which I found irritating because I had to make sure my grip was touching the flat part and just the right way, but if you double tap it anywhere it will still do this function.
Two things in particular that will serve me well. • assigning Face ID to locked notes • folders within folders. I have a pet sitting folder with many documents. I was able to create a sub folder for the client info notes, a folder for the forms about my business, and contracts that I send to them, and a packing checklist folder. Thanks again.
Great video! I’m constantly using the Note app. It’s my immediate go-to. I love the way I can copy web links into a table which is nested into a folder.
This was terrific. I really appreciate you added chapters here. Thank you for all the time/effort you put into these videos. I learned so much from your tutorial. Very easy to follow & understand. Notes is very, very good and sure there are things that can be improved on but when used correctly nobody should complain too much about the application. IMO, the most difficult task or one I trip up on the most is creating a subfolder within a previously existing folder.
As usual, excellent! Small suggestion… can you video call out when you are highlighting where we should click? Those of us with poor vision don’t see it clearly without that visual aid. Thanks
Thanks for your comment. I think on most recent videos, I do include some kind of spoken reference, but I'll definitely keep your feedback in mind for future videos, to ensure it's definitely happening.
@@ProperHonestTech I hear the spoken instruction but I can’t see where you are clicking. I have to rewind it several times until I can see what you are referring to in your video. I think there is an ability to highlight what you are clicking so there is a visual indication for those of us with poor vision. Please do not think I am at all unhappy with your content as you are by far one of the best instructors in your niche out there and I always seek your videos first. I hope I am making myself clear? Have a great evening.
@@SpecialNeedsAcademy Don’t worry, I’ve not taken offence to anything you say. Feedback is helpful. I think the video you’re watching is quite a few months old. Hopefully anything made in the last 3 or 4 months now has a lot of what you’re talking about, as I always try to include both spoken and visual references, to make the content as accessible as possible. 👍🏻
I love Apple maps and use it all the time and I thought I was pretty good at using all functions but this video has given me a few more tips and info. This video explains information clearly and simply which i love. Keep posting.
excellent tutorial, question, how do you increase the size of the font? would also love to see a segment on how to fully use the pencil with notes. thanks again. George
I’m glad somebody with a high profile has mentioned that Apple should have a more comprehensive version of this facility. I really think there should be an option to toggle between an “all-in-one” app, like having Numbers, Pages, Notes, Reminders and anything else useful bundled in a synced “Office 365”- type program, and the option to keep them separate.
Thank you for taking the time to make a note and pencil tutorial for dummies (like me). So many of the other tutorials assume the user has some knowledge.
Love this video. One additional thing I learned. You can only add hashtag after a period in the note. Otherwise, Notes thinks the hashtag is just part of the note.
While limited, Shortcuts adds some features that can be handy. You can use it to create and open notes with standard titles and/or content, perhaps in a diary or journal folder. I've also created and used a shortcut that records audio, converts it to text, then appends it to a previously specified note. It date time stamps the entry, and can also add the note's location. I was using it to record quick bits of info while out and about, so I could enter then in a permanent record later. There are probably a lot of applications for this kind of log note. I just wish Apple would give us more Shortcut actions to play with in Notes.
Me too!! I made the exact same thing on Shortcuts app, but now I will look for the add location to the entry action just like you. Thank you! For the idea
WOW!!!! It even adds the address, I just changed the Variable to Best instead of the default “Hundreds of meters” or “10s of meters” as far as location goes.
My version of the shortcut will take the audio if you activate the shortcut through Siri. Would be glad to send it to you if you’d like. And if you still want it.
Many times in these tutorials the speaker speaks so quickly, that it is worthless to me. This tempo is reasonable and easy to take a small step back to rehear. THIS IS MY FAVORITE!!!
I am new to Apple. I have watched a few of your videos...This is excelent work....short, informative and educational, pertinent and clear language....I subscribed you are THAT GOOD❗️
Good video and nicely explained. Recommendation, could you highlight what your doing on screen in addition to describing where it is and what sour doing.
Great info about how to use notes. Can you cover info of how to retrieve accidentally deleted notes in your next presentation? Would appreciate it very much.
I got a lot out of this. But, I was looking for information relative to using the Apple Pencil for handwriting, and how the app converts it to text, and also drawing diagrams, pointer arrows, etc in my notes. I didn’t see you cover any of that.😊
Impressive content and delivery. I’ll start to go over your back catalogue of videos. I have a question on Notes: are you aware of aware of a way to add additional Fonts to the limited choice available on the “Scribble” function?
I have been playing with notes apps for the past week and have pretty much decided that this is the best all around option. That said, I would feel much better if there were an option to pass export all notes to a backup folder. It could be a plain text or a JSON folder. I would feel better knowing that my data needn't be locked up in a proprietary app forever.
Great informative video… I use the notes app all the time but I wish there were more fonts, text sizes (especially smaller text) and colour options, I’d like to journal in the notes app but I like it to be bold and bright.
Maybe I missed it but I think you didn't mention how you can have 2 notes app windows side by side. It comes in handy when organizing notes or moving stuff from one note to another, you can just drag it across.
Thanks and a good prez of a decent app. One issue of these types of app is clutter - stuff/notes can stick around for took long. So, if applicable, I use a hashtag, say #deleteby202208, and check each month what to clear out.
Nice work! I was hoping you’d get to a section of Notes that would be able to insert a PDF file and then write and highlight til your heart’s content but unfortunately Apple doesn’t do it like Notability, so although I do use Notes for simple stuff, I still need Notability for more advanced stuff
You actually can do that by holding on the PDF document in your iCloud folder and choose share and then notes and then create new note. Once in notes if you double tap it will open the note and from there you can annotate or highlight the PDF and it will save it to your notes. Only down side is changes don't migrate back to the original PDF in your iCloud folder so no changes appear on that file. You can share and save a copy back to the original folder however with an option to keep both or replace and then your edits will be in your iCloud folder as well.
I agree with Bryan and other, your content and approach are better then most if not the best. As I watched this vid once again you mentioned there is no way to set a reminder from a note or about a note, well the little bell in my head went off and I think you need to update with a new Notes/Reminders vid. I ran across away to set reminders from a note and also a very useful photos hack using notes. As for the Notes/Reminders Open the note you want to set up a reminders about and highlight the title or the first few words or anything in the note and you will get a pop up (cut,copy,paste, and share), click share and pick Reminders and then sets date/time and whatever you like. Works Great. From reminders it will label the reminder with your text you copied or the Title if the note has a Title and will also give you a link to open the Original note. As for the Note/Photos hack If you have photos that are let say for your eyes only, select the photos and send them to the Notes app. Once in the notes app you can lock them or not, but the cool thing is you can now delete them from your Camera Roll so others don’t see them there and they are still in your Notes app for your viewing pleasure, locked or not. One other thing I noticed if you have several Notes locked and unlock one it unlocks them all till you lock them back. Not sure why they did it this way, but I guess it saves you having to come up with multiple passwords for all the notes you want to lock. I’m sure this is just the tip of what all we can do to link all the Apple apps into one working unit. Thanks
Apple should make the possibility to add code chunks with language highlight that'd be cool. Sometimes I use the notes app to write the commands I'm using on the terminal.
Seriously, you are one of the best here on TH-cam! thank you for the incredible amount of time and effort you take in putting these tutorials together. Quick question about the notes app. Is it possible to link a heading or subheading to a specific part of the note further down the page so that it jumps down to that section when you click on the heading?
Hello What videos do you have to create lists , on iPad like creating a video I guess like a power point . Love your content, very clear and easy to understand.
Even though it's a bit limited compared to other apps like GoodNotes or Notability, I'm still using Apple Notes for work because it's free. One thing I wish I could do is add notes on top of images like when I'm discussing something with a client and want to visually call his attention. OneNote could be an alternative but it's not supported within my company. Besides Apple Notes, are there any other free apps you recommend for iPad? Awesome in depth video about Apple Notes. Awesome and fluid way to present everything. Thanks for sharing! Subscribed 😄
Thanks for a great tutorial. The photo-scanning feature w/b much more useful if I could crop within the Notes app before committing. Instead, I have to take the photo with the camera, crop in photos app, and then import it into Notes. Apple should fix this.
VERY GOOD VIDEO. So Clear and Concise full of very vital information for the beginner on a very basic level essential for understanding the basics of this APP. Thank you for your tutorial.
Thank you so much for creating this video. I always read books but then I thought of starting with an iPad for my studies considering the weight of the books I've to carry all around. It's been a week and I was cursing, why on earth did I buy this because I wasn't able to use it. Thank you very much for helping me out. As a student please make such more videos and help me use the iPad effectively. Thank you again. I've a query. While making notes, can I change the colour of the font/highlight the typed words?. (I'm not asking for handwritten words, that we can do, I learnt that.) Thank you
Glad I found this site. It's great if Apple is your choice of devices. BUT...in NOTES...at least on my older 2016 Macbook Pro Photos are limited as to number. I Rec'd a message, something like "No More Photos Available". I wonder if this is true on my iPadPro too? Is this a function of Macbook Pro vs. iPad Pro or what? Also, while I bought the Pencil w my iPad Pro but until I watched the video from this channel, I didn't think I'd really use it. I WILL. Really clear, concise yet comprehensive videos when Apple is your home's choice.
hello, you're usually quite good at answering questions so here's one: when I close and then reopen a note in the desktop app, my text color is lighter than it was originally set to.....black text becomes grey and red text becomes light red etc. if I change it back....then close the note and reopen it.....same thing....its back to grey etc.
Great presentation - may want to include more on the integration between Notes and Reminders. I use that every dayv - got a Note with a deadline - link it to a Reminder. Done. 🤓
How are you linking notes and reminders? That's one thing I've wanted to see in Notes for ages... I've spent ages in both apps and really can't see an obvious way to do this?
Create a note and share it with a new Reminder - may need to select More for Reminder to show - or select More and Notes when linking from Reminder to Notes - sometimes the option doesn’t show either - then I select Link instead. As said I use it all th3 time. Highlight a sentence in a Note and then select Share to Reminder - very effective
I can't get my notes to share directly, but I can get the highlighted text to share. Interesting feature! You would think Apple would make more noise about you being able to do this... Thanks for letting me know about it, I promise to credit you for the information if I ever make a video about it! 😂
Very good video. I agree with all the improvements and suggestions as you go along. Eg tables and numbers, lists and tasks integration with reminders and more. Currently we use Evernote for a small group. Would love to be able to jump wholly to Apple Notes, but its not quite there yet, maybe that will always be the case , its the age old problem of sacrificing some tools. 🤗🕸
I was a long-time user of Evernote, but cancelled it a couple of years ago. I felt like the company (well, the product, but I guess by connection, the company) had gotten a bit stagnant and boring, especially for a paid product. Notes is weaker in many ways, but it's also free, and does enough to keep me using it. But yeah, some integration from Apple would be awesome. Why not a 'lifestyle' app (I'm sure Apple can think of a fancy name for it) that somehow merges your calendar, notes, reminders, possibly even email together in one? That would be killer.
Wow, thank you! It genuinely means a lot to hear that, I put a lot of work into the content, and want to be constantly pushing to make the next video better than the last. Again, thank you!
I learned a lot from your video, thank you. But, I can not find the answer for my issue and tried many videos. When I type in the Notes, some of my notes are black, and some (at random) come out yellow! How do I make them all black. I am sure it’s a simple solution, but I am a senior, 76 lol. Please help😊 niki
Brilliant. I am now fully convinced to use Apple notes. If I am on handwriting (not scribble pen) and I do a whole paragraph of handwriting. How do I convert that to typed text?
Another great tutorial. You didn't cover 'search notes' however. For years I have been a heavy user of Notes yet have learned some new tips from you. On of the uses is to keep a list of songs I use each week in Church. I would simply 'search' the notes (iCloud, as I use various devices on one Apple account) for a given song (e.g Amazing Grace), and all the notes with that phrase/song title would appear in a list. But now, my search criteria produces a list of all notes with even one word in the search criteria. E.g, if I look for He knows my name, it finds notes with 'he' as well, and that's not very helpful. I want it to put at the top of the list, the notes with the whole search phrase. How do I do that? It used to work. Thanks in advance!
Hi, I love your videos! Can u tell me please? I’m sorry but this has nothing to do with this video, but could u tell me please, does the iPhone 13 pro max have much better battery life & a much better camera than the iPhone 12 Pro Max which is the iPhone I have please??
Hello, I have a question! I used Apple Notes but I stopped using it, because in the long notes when I opened it I always went to the beginning and I wasted a lot of time going down to the end. Is there no way to change that?
I just came across your channel and am enjoying it….learning and enjoying. On the subject of Apple notes I started using Apple notes quite some time ago. I have learned a lot more from your video. However the problem that I seem to have created for myself is now out of expediency and ease of use I have created myself quite a collection of notes. Well the concept of notes which is handy became longer notes if the juices were flowing as I had the idea and kept writing. It started with research on a topic that in itself was multifaceted resulting in thoughts on various topics at different times and simply always instinctively started a new note every time. Obviously was not well thought out and had just begun entering the APPLE WORLD. So finally my quandary Is getting all those notes into an app that I can now start writing a report perhaps with Table of Contents.etc…. Although it may be beyond The Apple Notes Question I am trying to decide what May be a good app that would be appropriate for the report…..that is a tough one. Back to notes I have been unable to find an easy way after putting my notes in categories somehow…..how to combine them to export/import to the report app. There does not seem to be a way other than exporting one by one I believe and not combining groups of notes together. I hope I explained myself well and welcome and thank you for taking time to read and welcome your thoughts. Charlie Nielson
I’m a super beginner. I get lost by ur instructions as where to point the cursor or what. In other words, I’m lost. It would be helpful if u would illustrate well as to where u get what. Thank u.
This would be even more helpful if you actually showed the icons you are tapping. They are so small and you go so quickly through things that I had no idea what you were talking about.
For all that want reminders and notes integration. This is already working. Create a new reminder, open it and drag an drop a note into the notes field 😊

Hi
I agree with you…Apple needs to integrate notes, reminder and calendar TOGETHER!!! I never understood why they have not already done this
Amen!!!!
That would be great.
Absolutely right.. cant wait for the integration
Such a simple idea…I am having a hard time going back to the apple app eco-system exactly for that reason
Do you remember when notes and reminders were in the Mail app before getting their own app? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
"I'd love to see Apple integrate Notes, Calendar and Reminders together in a future iOS." YES!!! If they did this, I would be able to end my search for an app that I like that does this!! Couldn't agree more!!

I love your videos, so informative. I have stopped using paid for apps and started using Notes and Reminders. Thank you!

Great informative video… I use the notes app all the time but I wish there were more fonts, text sizes (especially smaller text) and colour options, I’d like to journal in the notes app but I like it to be bold and bright.
More fonts would be cool, but I can't see it ever happening, Apple like to keep a pretty strong control over anything that's linked to their brand.
Samsung notes have all those things. I also wish apple implemented them.

Yeah, the markup function exists, and that does work pretty well, but it's still not quite as intuitive as something like Notability.
You actually can do that by holding on the PDF document in your iCloud folder and choose share and then notes and then create new note. Once in notes if you double tap it will open the note and from there you can annotate or highlight the PDF and it will save it to your notes. Only down side is changes don't migrate back to the original PDF in your iCloud folder so no changes appear on that file. You can share and save a copy back to the original folder however with an option to keep both or replace and then your edits will be in your iCloud folder as well.
Thanks for your valuable content
Thanks for a very informative and easy to follow guide on Notes for iPads…..very helpful 👍😊
Appreciate your efforts taken sir
Wonderful tutorial!! Thx sooo much for sharing!👍🏾💯
I agree with Bryan and other, your content and approach are better then most if not the best. As I watched this vid once again you mentioned there is no way to set a reminder from a note or about a note, well the little bell in my head went off and I think you need to update with a new Notes/Reminders vid. I ran across away to set reminders from a note and also a very useful photos hack using notes.
As for the Notes/Reminders
Open the note you want to set up a reminders about and highlight the title or the first few words or anything in the note and you will get a pop up (cut,copy,paste, and share), click share and pick Reminders and then sets date/time and whatever you like. Works Great. From reminders it will label the reminder with your text you copied or the Title if the note has a Title and will also give you a link to open the Original note.
As for the Note/Photos hack
If you have photos that are let say for your eyes only, select the photos and send them to the Notes app. Once in the notes app you can lock them or not, but the cool thing is you can now delete them from your Camera Roll so others don’t see them there and they are still in your Notes app for your viewing pleasure, locked or not.
One other thing I noticed if you have several Notes locked and unlock one it unlocks them all till you lock them back. Not sure why they did it this way, but I guess it saves you having to come up with multiple passwords for all the notes you want to lock.
I’m sure this is just the tip of what all we can do to link all the Apple apps into one working unit.
Thanks
Apple should make the possibility to add code chunks with language highlight that'd be cool. Sometimes I use the notes app to write the commands I'm using on the terminal.
Seriously, you are one of the best here on TH-cam! thank you for the incredible amount of time and effort you take in putting these tutorials together.
Quick question about the notes app. Is it possible to link a heading or subheading to a specific part of the note further down the page so that it jumps down to that section when you click on the heading?
REALLY GOOD AND VERY USEFUL , NOT BEATING THE BUSH AROUND
Excellent, thank you!
All your videos are SO HELPFUL! Thanks so much 😀
thank you so much, everything I needed to know, I found in your video :)
Hello
What videos do you have to create lists , on iPad like creating a video I guess like a power point . Love your content, very clear and easy to understand.
Good clip on notes! I’m still learning more about them. Some I discover on my own. Very useful app.
Even though it's a bit limited compared to other apps like GoodNotes or Notability, I'm still using Apple Notes for work because it's free. One thing I wish I could do is add notes on top of images like when I'm discussing something with a client and want to visually call his attention. OneNote could be an alternative but it's not supported within my company.
Besides Apple Notes, are there any other free apps you recommend for iPad?
Awesome in depth video about Apple Notes. Awesome and fluid way to present everything. Thanks for sharing!
Subscribed 😄
Thanks for a great tutorial. The photo-scanning feature w/b much more useful if I could crop within the Notes app before committing. Instead, I have to take the photo with the camera, crop in photos app, and then import it into Notes. Apple should fix this.
VERY GOOD VIDEO. So Clear and Concise full of very vital information for the beginner on a very basic level essential for understanding the basics of this APP. Thank you for your tutorial.
Thank you so much for creating this video. I always read books but then I thought of starting with an iPad for my studies considering the weight of the books I've to carry all around. It's been a week and I was cursing, why on earth did I buy this because I wasn't able to use it. Thank you very much for helping me out. As a student please make such more videos and help me use the iPad effectively. Thank you again.
I've a query. While making notes, can I change the colour of the font/highlight the typed words?. (I'm not asking for handwritten words, that we can do, I learnt that.)
Thank you
Thanks for the well explained video.
I’m debating on whether or not to use either hashtags or folders
Glad I found this site. It's great if Apple is your choice of devices. BUT...in NOTES...at least on my older 2016 Macbook Pro Photos are limited as to number. I Rec'd a message, something like "No More Photos Available". I wonder if this is true on my iPadPro too? Is this a function of Macbook Pro vs. iPad Pro or what?
Also, while I bought the Pencil w my iPad Pro but until I watched the video from this channel, I didn't think I'd really use it. I WILL. Really clear, concise yet comprehensive videos when Apple is your home's choice.
hello, you're usually quite good at answering questions so here's one: when I close and then reopen a note in the desktop app, my text color is lighter than it was originally set to.....black text becomes grey and red text becomes light red etc. if I change it back....then close the note and reopen it.....same thing....its back to grey etc.
Great presentation - may want to include more on the integration between Notes and Reminders. I use that every dayv - got a Note with a deadline - link it to a Reminder. Done. 🤓
How are you linking notes and reminders? That's one thing I've wanted to see in Notes for ages... I've spent ages in both apps and really can't see an obvious way to do this?
Create a note and share it with a new Reminder - may need to select More for Reminder to show - or select More and Notes when linking from Reminder to Notes - sometimes the option doesn’t show either - then I select Link instead. As said I use it all th3 time.
Highlight a sentence in a Note and then select Share to Reminder - very effective
I can't get my notes to share directly, but I can get the highlighted text to share. Interesting feature! You would think Apple would make more noise about you being able to do this... Thanks for letting me know about it, I promise to credit you for the information if I ever make a video about it! 😂
It’s kind of weird - it’ll work today and then not tomorrow - there’s no reproduciple test case 🤓
Very good video. I agree with all the improvements and suggestions as you go along. Eg tables and numbers, lists and tasks integration with reminders and more. Currently we use Evernote for a small group. Would love to be able to jump wholly to Apple Notes, but its not quite there yet, maybe that will always be the case , its the age old problem of sacrificing some tools. 🤗🕸
I was a long-time user of Evernote, but cancelled it a couple of years ago. I felt like the company (well, the product, but I guess by connection, the company) had gotten a bit stagnant and boring, especially for a paid product. Notes is weaker in many ways, but it's also free, and does enough to keep me using it. But yeah, some integration from Apple would be awesome. Why not a 'lifestyle' app (I'm sure Apple can think of a fancy name for it) that somehow merges your calendar, notes, reminders, possibly even email together in one? That would be killer.
@@ProperHonestTech I'm going to really test Apple notes out and see if we can change! thanks for your input.
Great video, I like love the notes app!!!
Thank you!
Amazing video! I’ve been watching since the very first HomePod reviews to here and video quality just gets better and better!
Wow, thank you! It genuinely means a lot to hear that, I put a lot of work into the content, and want to be constantly pushing to make the next video better than the last. Again, thank you!
Very clearly explained. Good job!
Thank you!
I learned a lot from your video, thank you. But, I can not find the answer for my issue and tried many videos. When I type in the Notes, some of my notes are black, and some (at random) come out yellow! How do I make them all black. I am sure it’s a simple solution, but I am a senior, 76 lol. Please help😊 niki
Brilliant. I am now fully convinced to use Apple notes. If I am on handwriting (not scribble pen) and I do a whole paragraph of handwriting. How do I convert that to typed text?
Thank you great info learned a ton
you've done another useful and practical video. thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Another great tutorial. You didn't cover 'search notes' however. For years I have been a heavy user of Notes yet have learned some new tips from you. On of the uses is to keep a list of songs I use each week in Church. I would simply 'search' the notes (iCloud, as I use various devices on one Apple account) for a given song (e.g Amazing Grace), and all the notes with that phrase/song title would appear in a list. But now, my search criteria produces a list of all notes with even one word in the search criteria. E.g, if I look for He knows my name, it finds notes with 'he' as well, and that's not very helpful. I want it to put at the top of the list, the notes with the whole search phrase. How do I do that? It used to work. Thanks in advance!
Very comprehensive 👍
Hi, I love your videos! Can u tell me please? I’m sorry but this has nothing to do with this video, but could u tell me please, does the iPhone 13 pro max have much better battery life & a much better camera than the iPhone 12 Pro Max which is the iPhone I have please??
Can you make a video on the file transferring notes to Windows computer?
This needs to be taught in the university!
Sorry…meant to ask you what app you used for this presentation as perhaps it may lend itself to my report and or presentation. Thanks, Charlie
Great sound track !
Excellent presentation
Excellent video!!!!
I just bought that IKEA desk lamp that you have! 😀
Can you do a video on HomeKit?
It’s something I’ve thought of, I just need to figure out how to break out all the different elements - it’s actually quite a vast software offering.
@@ProperHonestTech For myself, my apple ecosystem consists of Mac, iPad, iPhones, Watch, Homepod minis and NanoLeaf bulbs.
Great video. Thank you
Hello, I have a question! I used Apple Notes but I stopped using it, because in the long notes when I opened it I always went to the beginning and I wasted a lot of time going down to the end. Is there no way to change that?
I agree - I wanted page breaks with new pages at the top so most recent content comes first
I just came across your channel and am enjoying it….learning and enjoying. On the subject of Apple notes I started using Apple notes quite some time ago. I have learned a lot more from your video. However the problem that I seem to have created for myself is now out of expediency and ease of use I have created myself quite a collection of notes. Well the concept of notes which is handy became longer notes if the juices were flowing as I had the idea and kept writing. It started with research on a topic that in itself was multifaceted resulting in thoughts on various topics at different times and simply always instinctively started a new note every time. Obviously was not well thought out and had just begun entering the APPLE WORLD. So finally my quandary Is getting all those notes into an app that I can now start writing a report perhaps with Table of Contents.etc…. Although it may be beyond The Apple Notes Question I am trying to decide what May be a good app that would be appropriate for the report…..that is a tough one. Back to notes I have been unable to find an easy way after putting my notes in categories somehow…..how to combine them to export/import to the report app. There does not seem to be a way other than exporting one by one I believe and not combining groups of notes together. I hope I explained myself well and welcome and thank you for taking time to read and welcome your thoughts. Charlie Nielson
Thomas Frank The Ultimate Brain may be good for what you’re trying to accomplish.
Outstanding video. One of the best tutorials I’ve seen on the features of Notes. Many thanks!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Good video. Is there a way to change font colors in Notes??
Great job. Cheers!
Can I make templates in notes. Perhaps using a table with header row at top of each column, letting me add data to each row
I’m a super beginner. I get lost by ur instructions as where to point the cursor or what. In other words, I’m lost. It would be helpful if u would illustrate well as to where u get what. Thank u.
Any suggestions on how to make scribble recognise your handwriting?
It’s making a mess of mine.
This would be even more helpful if you actually showed the icons you are tapping. They are so small and you go so quickly through things that I had no idea what you were talking about.
All of the newer videos do this, and have done for some time now. At some point I’ll update this video in the new format.
For all that want reminders and notes integration. This is already working. Create a new reminder, open it and drag an drop a note into the notes field 😊
Is there a possibility of having colors for the index. For example recipes, DESSERTS (colored) then the names of the different recipes?
How many people actually use all (or even most) of these features?
Thanks
You're welcome, and thank you so much!
