iPad Tips for Seniors: How I Use Apple Notes

Rich, did I hear you say you use a pound sign followed by a tag and the tag can only be one word. I thought even Americans knew what a British pound sign looked like: i.e. £=pound; #= tag. Perhaps it was a slip of tongue but I thought it might confuse somebody

Can you share notes from your phone or pc to another apple phone or pc?

Really useful video even as an iPhone user.

Great video. Thank you. I have a question on quick notes: are the stored locally or on the iCloud? If local is there a way to get them onto the cloud?

How about QR codes?

I have just one word for you to add new notes, quickly and easily; Siri

Congratulations this is a great tutorial video

Thank you for your videos on Notes they are fantastic

Thanks Rich.can you please compare Apple notes with Goodnotes.

Well you got me on the path to organizing my apple notes.

Rich, really enjoying these tutorials. Question - how can I save Excel & Word documents into Notes?

I really enjoyed this video. I love Apple Notes but my big problem is organizing everything so I can quickly find it later. This will help. Thanks

How do you keep Notes from using all your memory? Right now with a bit more than 300 notes I am using almost 22 GB of my phone’s storage

very helpful. thanks

Thanks Rich. Very clear and well structured

What is a share sheet?

This is too advanced for me! I don’t know what the terms mean, nor how to get the quick notes icon to appear when swiping down up from the corner

Chapter markers please. Thank you for the great video 😊

Wish I could see what you're tapping on, that would be helpful for a newbie. You keep saying "tap on that" but don't show what your tapping on and my Ipad doesn't look like yours so it's not helpful.

Thanks!

So glad I found your channel…great video.

I have iPad of 6th generation. What type of pencil should I purchase? There are different kinds of pencils available in the market. Which one will compatible?

Hi. Rich. Would you please do a video sometime that shows how to improve Ipad's spellchecker? On my ipad 9 I'm tempted to turn the spell check feature completely. I've watched other another video on how improve the feature but found it quite confusing. Your videos tend to be easier to understand. Thank you.

Great video! I decided to use Apple notes more because of your video.

Rich, thank you. I think I am quite good with technology, but I still get a lot out of your videos. You make them very easy to follow and your suggestions are good for people of all ages.

Greetings from England. Thank you for this excellent video, which has given me some new techniques and ideas🤗

I love your organization on AppleNotes. I going to rearrange .
Confessional: 😔
I have over 1200 notes but I do have a folder for my EMS / A&P. I have it super organized there.

I have recipes, diary rants, reminders, Bob&Brad YT videos. I never thought to place manuals there in notes. I make PDFs and they are in Apple Books.

I didn’t know about the tags. Thank you for a clear, concise tutorial. ❤

Great advice, Thank you.

I need more detail. I can't figure out how to make a quick note. Then I found the Apple Manual and you've got it backwards. Left swipe, not right, is the default, apparently. So I made some quick notes. Great! Except now I can't find them. They are, apparently, in the Quick Notes folder. But where is the Quick Notes folder? I don't know. Even Google doesn't know -- all I get is the Apple Support link where it's supposed to say something about that, but it doesn't. However I heaer you an you can pull up a list of folders. How? I don't know, the Apple support page doesn't say anything about that either. I appreciate your attempt to give an understandable review, but if you don't give every step, it's not going to work, for me, anyhow.

The PARA system is an excellent organizing method, That being said, be extremely careful with dragging and dropping. I lost my entire AREAS folder (that had dozens of sub folders) and somehow a lot of the information repopulated in my RESOURCES folder (which was no where near my Areas Folder) and I lost a lot of information, that was permanently deleted. I am now having to rebuild the entire system. Even the Apple tech could not find the main folder.

Hi Rich, excellent video! How do you decide what goes into Resources and Areas? I assume Resources is manuals and similar type documents but not sure what type of information would go into Areas rather than everything going into Resources. For Archives, I assume that is where completed Projects are kept - correct?

what's the price this device? why are you not write here ?

I just started watching your channel, maybe 2 days ago. Yes, I subscribed after watching the 1st. One. (Which I VERY seldom do), I’m 80 yrs. Older than wiser, I guess. Anyway, I’ve lived here, in Japan, for 50 of them. Your video about ‘Notes’ impressed me enough to add a note to you. I’m smarter now, after I watched your video. It gave me some better ways to do things than I had before. Mostly, I’m self taught on Apple products. I bought the first “Fat-Mac”, Macintosh computer when it became available here. At that time NO support at all. I used it to make teaching materials for kids just learning English. I retired about 10 years ago due to deteriorating health problems related to my army service in Vietnam. “Nuf, said”. I like your style, it seems to have almost NO “hype” involved. I’ll continue to watch your vids. as long as they seem ‘truthful’ to me. So far, I like what I see. Feel free to use any or all of this “comment” that you want. I’m not looking for recognition, advertising, or anything more than ‘friendly’ association. It’s not even necessary to reply, but I hope you at least read it, before deleting. Anyway, thanks for the “knowhow”, anyhow. I’m a ‘funny foreigner’ living in a far away place. Thanks, Gary🧸

What is quick notes?

I really like your videos. Just curious if you would know why Notes and Calendar apps on iPhone don’t sync with my iPad.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

Wow, thanks for the info and channel - Very Helpful!
I’ve been trying to create a link to a specific Apple Note to put in another Apple Note, have you had any luck linking between notes?

Oh my gosh, I’m going to have to watch your videos repeatedly until I can really grasp it! I’m amazed at the information you’re providing in such an easy to follow and understand way. I’m so anxious to get started on improving techy self with your help😃🤩. Please keep your tips coming! I liked the comment by someone requesting using iPhone with CarPlay! That would be very useful I think🙃

Thank you so much, this help me a lot, i have a question, how can I edit a photo when I already put it in a note, because sometimes I take a photo in the app of notes and it’s a large photo so I want to cut it I can’t :( hope you can help me, thank you so much

Good informative video - Thank you.

That Apple mug looks cool!

Thanks!

Excellent video as usual, thank you. I'm a very experienced user, but I still find useful tips in your videos. There is another way to open Quick Notes in Safari; swipe up from the bottom right of the iPad and it will open a new Quick Note. I thought that using Tags was a great idea, but my iPad 9th gen doesn't seem to have them in the folder list, nor does my iPhone 13 Max Pro.

Thanks very much for this video. I am just moving into Apple Notes and the information in the video was very helpful. In another video I saw that you can use Siri to create notes. I may give that a try in addition to the note creation methods that you mentioned.

How old can I get a para template with sub folders so I can start setting up my Apple notes?

Can you get to the point a bit quicker please?

Thank you I'm not a senior, but have not been a tech person. Now after starting a business apple products have been purchased. Operating this product with your assistance has been great!

Very good tutorial videos. I recently got an I-pad Air, 5th generation. Is it a good idea to install a screen protector and do you have any suggestions for the brand that you would recommend .
