- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- Seniors if you have an iPhone or iPad and are not fully acquainted with Apple Notes app, this guide will turn you into a Pro! Apple Notes is a great place for keeping lists, jotting down ideas, writing in long-form, drawing sketches, and it syncs with iCloud. So everything will be available on all your devices.
Apple is constantly adding new features, and sometimes it’s hard to keep up. For example, maybe you didn’t know that the Search feature recognizes typed or handwritten texts, images, and scanned documents. You can even collaborate with others.

Although I am not a senior, yet, I prefer watching your videos for all things iOS. No cheesy music, no gimmicks, no unnecessary talk. Just straight to the point, concise and easy to understand.
Thanks NemiAidid! Appreciate your support!
YOOOO I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO COMMENT THE SAME THING! Im 27 and I have already mastered apple notes but I like these videos for seniors just by the way it is explained and the simplicity of it and occasionally I actually learn something I didn't know! Thank you!
That is the old fashion way. Straight to the point with no gimmicks. Glad you like it.
I just found this channel, she really explains things clearly, brilliant
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching.
Very useful for we old ‘uns….thank you 👍🍷
Thanks so much Emlyn!! Glad you found it useful.
I was ready to toss my Notes app, then download what I thought would be a better one. This video has opened my eyes to what I didn’t know, and I will be keeping my Notes app. Thank you so much for this informative video!
You’re welcome Beth! Glad you found the video useful!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You're so welcome Keebler50! Thanks for taking the time to watch.
This is a clear and concise presentation of Apple Notes for anyone.
Thanks so much Rico567
I’ve only read a handful of comments, so I will not repeat, but I wholeheartedly agree that your videos are GREAT for many reasons. Please for us old folks trying to keep up with technology…Keep up the good work!😊
Wow, thank you Barbara!
Ellen, what a wonderful video tutorial on how to use Apple Notes! You spoke clearly and slowly enough for your listeners to be able to grasp what you were saying. And by slowly showing what to click on to achieve the tasks you made it so easy to follow! My husband has so many issues with using his iPhone to it’s fullest ability. I can’t wait to share this video with him! Thanks so much for making and sharing this video!
Thanks so much Alicia! I’m glad you found the video useful! It makes my day to here from people like you! Hope it helps your husband as well.
Fab….
Wow! I agree with Alicia. You are a very easy person to learn from. You put the information out there for us slow learners to grasp it easily. I’ve been “playing” around with notes for awhile now and I learned so much in a few minutes listening to you. I’ve watched a few other videos on this topic and they all talk too fast for me to see or listen to. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Thank you so much Donald! I appreciate your support!
Did you know that you can slow down a video? Go to the settings icon ( it looks like a cog wheel) at the top right hand corner of the video screen you are watching. Click on it and you will then get some options. Click on playback speed. I often find the 0.75 speed suits me
You are great! I’ve used notes for years but obviously nowhere as much as I could. Thank you for a such clear, easy tutorial. I will look forward to see more.😊
Thank you so much!!☺️
Ellen…
You are a ‘Rock Star’.
Great Tutorial on Notes App.
The work involved in creating these videos is daunting.
Keep doing your thing Ellen… There’s a lot of people out here appreciating what you do.
Have you done a tutorial on ‘Shortcuts’?
I’ve just got into it…
And it’s potential is amazing.
Be Well young Lady!
And… Thanks again!
Thanks so much for your kind words Rob! I haven’t done a specific video on shortcuts. Thanks for the suggestion.
Very nice. I like learning from you. No silliness or showing off, just right down to helpful information. Those young fellas out there could learn a lot from your presentation.
Thanks so much Meri!!
Super vidio, explains every detail in an easy way. Many thanks from VERY senior male.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I’m several years off from being a “senior” but I do have gray hair. You must have been a teacher. Great class! I’m going to binge watch the rest of your videos. Thanks for making this video.
Thanks for the kind words Rich!! I appreciate your support.
Very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.
Your pacing is the perfect speed, and your graphics clearly show which icons you’re tapping on, and what the options are. Thanks for doing these videos!
Thanks for your kind words Linda! Glad it was helpful.
Thank you and I do appreciate how precise your instructions are and that you do not rush. Very grateful.
You are so welcome Marion! Thanks for watching!
I’m 39 years old and this is the video I needed. Thank you!!
Thanks so much @whatintheheck!
When I saw the title I knew their wouldn’t be any music or fluff and I’m glad I watched I’ve learned so much from this I can’t believe how much more this app does and your explanations are so clear and concise thanks for your time an informed senior.
Thanks for watching and your kind words Mopar2U!!
A wonderful lession and it helps me a lot !

Great video. You assume the person viewing is completely ignorant of the subject……which I was. Good job!
Thanks Gloria!
Great video on how do use Notes thank you so much
Thanks for watching Gerald!
Ellen thank you for this tutorial. It was very helpful. ❤
You are so welcome Virginia! Thanks for watching.
This was very, very easy to follow. You provided countless excellent tips. Another to remember is that photos are able to be re-sized.
Long press on the photo and choose "view as small images" or "view as large images" 👏🏼
Thanks Jav C for sharing another tip!
Thank you for the tutorial truly appreciated
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video Ellen. I stumbled across this and so glad i did. I’m a new subscriber and will now watch some of your other videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Really helps this 74 year old guy..
Thanks so much @edf2953! I appreciate your support! Hope you find the other videos helpful.
Thank you …. You are very helpful 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Thought I knew everything about notes. Nope! Thank you.
Thanks for your kind words! @kingstreetmarketing
Excellent for someone new or relatively new to notes. Thanks for taking your time so we can follow.
Thanks Paul!
Excellent presentation!! I consider myself pretty tech savvy, but Notes has been a hurdle for me. Thanks to you I understand it much better.
Thanks for your kind words Msklvr! I appreciate them.
Excellent video on how to use Notes. Thank you Ellen.
Thanks Teresa! Hope it helped.
Thank you not only for the excellent and clear content, but also for the calm presentation and for the absence of distracting muzak.
Hi Paul! Glad you enjoyed it!
Have watched a few vids on Apple Notes. Yours is by far the clearest and well presented vid I have seen on YT. Thank you Ellen!
Thanks Clyde! I appreciate your comment.
So helpful, clear, well organized and documented in such a way to save us time as we look for specific learning targets. Thank you for your kindness and sharing. Your work and time in creating a most useful and efficient way to understand and use Notes, will help everyone who wants to use this app.
Thanks Sarah for the thoughtful reply. I’m glad you found the video useful and helpful to others.
Great learning video for us seniors.🇺🇸🐻
Thanks Jerry!
Thanks so much Ellen. You spoke so clearly and practically demonstrated the features so nicely. However I wish to see you complete the process of sharing a note by actually going through the complete process of inviting a fellow you know. Thanks very much ma.
I liked your explanation easy to understand Thank you so much
You are most welcome Peter! Thanks for taking the time to watch!
As NimiAidid said, short, precise and sums up the most important features, rather than having a lot of irrelevant functionality, THANKS!!
Thanks so much Bob! I appreciate your kind words.
Very helpful, thank you!
You're welcome Ann! Thanks for watching.
This is so helpful thank you 😊
You’re welcome Robert! Thanks for watching.
This. Is a wonderful video. Thanks.
So nice of you to say so StolenSon!
OMG why am I just seeing your YT Channel now! Your videos are so informative and delivered in such a way that you can sit with your iPhone/iPad in hand and follow along!! I love it ❤. Subscribed. Not sure if you've covered this in another video yet, but Apple Notes and iCloud. That confuses me and I wish I could understand how it works, because Notes on my iMac and Notes on my iPhone don't seem to function exactly the same way. On my iMac, I can't find a lot of the notes that I have on my iPhone. If you haven't covered that, I'd love to see a video on that! Thank you so much for all you're doing to help us sort through the confusion!
Thank you so much for your kind words Cathy! I’ll see about doing a video on iCloud Notes!
@@EllensTipsForiOS ❤
Happy to help!
Your videos are clear and concise. You are easy to listen to and pacing fits me. I am 79 yrs old and recently put “Windows” out the “door”.
I got a MacBook Pro, M1 chip, and I-Pad Pro, an I- Watch and I-Phone Pro-Max with 1 T of storage. I have used windows since it was introduced. I have a lot to learn and am finding your videos most helpful.
Thank you, Jack Frick, Owner - Trail Hound Financial, Austin, TX
Thanks so much Jack. If you have questions let me know.
Excellent Video. Thanks much...
You’re welcome Roosevelt! Thanks for watching.
Excellent video
Thank you very much Catherine!
Thank you so much...Very good video...loved it
Glad you liked it Linda! Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much! Ok, I'm going to admit here that I have always been a MS PC/Android user and thought Apple was weird and a joke. But as I've gotten older I finally understand. They are not stupid nor weird nor are they a joke. They make everything so simple and connected. I just never understood the learning curve and couldn't get my head out of the way I always did things, the MS way. I would get frustrated often...like with Notes. When actually it was quite simple and magical. I hated Notes in till you showed me in this video how to use it. In my old age I'm now starting to become a fan of Apple! Why did I wait so long?
P.S. I am also visually Impaired and Deaf (wear a CI) and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that I can speak to text in notes!!! This I know is helpful for elderly who have difficulty hitting the small letters as well. And in regards to sound, Only Apple streams to CI's ! Steams any sounds directly to my CI ! Magical!
Hi Rob! Thanks so much for sharing your story! People like you are why I started this channel. I’m so happy you’ve started to enjoy using your Apple products. I appreciate your kind words.
Hi Ellen,
Very comprehensive tips for using Notes. I learned new tips not covered in other videos. Thanks as always. Kindness and happiness, Teresa
Thanks for watching the video and your comment Teresa!
I found something really cool. I scanned the USPS tracing code on my printed receipt, and Notes instantly created a link for the USPS tracking, which in turn provided the delivery information. I wasn't expecting that at all. I though I would just have the code so I could copy and paste it .
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!
Terrific intro. You are very clear and easy to follow!
Thanks for your comment Sher!!
Great video. It helped me sort through the numerous options I have for note taking with my iPad Pro. I'm somewhat invested in Notability and GoodNotes but therein lies the problem: I'm too fragmented. It turns out I don't actually make "pretty" notes like some UA-camrs do with these two apps so my best option might be the practical choice. Apple Notes has served me well over the years but I've never really used it beyond its most bonehead simple capabilities. Time to revisit this app. Thank you.
Thanks Richard! I appreciate your comment. The Notes app is worth a look.
Great tutorial!! I have had IPhone for many years and knew nothing about notes or where to find to find how to use it. Explanation was clear on symbols and navigation of notes. Very helpful. I will use notes now and looking forward to more of your videos. Thank you.
Thanks for your kind words!
Thanks
You’re so welcome!
Terrific. Thanks
Thanks Sarah!
Hi, Ellen. Just found you. I’m on info overload right now; glad I can revisit all these great tips.
Question: How to sync the items in my Notes on old iPad (12.5.7) to newer iPad (17.5.1)? I’ve been unsuccessful so far. Both devices have Notes turned on in Settings under iCloud; same wi-fi channel; both Bluetooth turned on.
Thank you.
Hi Liza, are you using the same Apple ID on both devices. If so they should sync. Thanks for watching .
Well done! Thank you so much for these tips and instructions. You walked us through so patiently!
Thanks for watching Deb!
Very well explained video Ellen, thanks
Thanks Terry!
Hello Ellen! I’m so very glad that I’ve met you online. You are such a wizard with all things IOS and I’ve learned to much from you in just a week. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Your videos are so clear and easy to follow. I can’t thank you enough! You have a committed follower here and I’ve shared your videos with my friends! Please keep them coming!❣️🇨🇦
You’re so welcome Elisabeth! I appreciate your kind words and the sharing of my content. If I can help in any way please let me know.
Great tutorial! Now I have a more understanding on how to use Notes thanks to you.
Great to hear Marc! Thanks 😊
Great video, I especially liked the idea of making a folder for Medications, once I set it up I will have easy access to find my medications for my wife and me when visiting doctors. Your videos are very precise and easy to follow. Thank you, Richard R
Thanks so much Richard!
Great post.
Thanks for watching Brendan.
Clear and comprehensive! Thank you! Sharing your videos with my friends who periodically ask for my (limited) iPhone advice.
Thanks so much Lynn! I appreciate your support.
Much appreciated. Not sure at 67 if I am a senior yet.......
You’re welcome @billyburi-baps! In my mind I still feel like I’m 18 but my body tells me otherwise. Keep thinking young.
Absolutely brilliant. I wish I had found you 2 years ago while I have been struggling to find my way around the Notes app. Thank you so much for your very clear and well presented video.
Thank you so much Margaret! Hope you’ll check out some of my other videos.
@@EllensTipsForiOS I certainly will, you really are a life-saver, I'm sure I shall be able to do lots of amazing things with my apple products with your brilliant help.
Thanks again Margaret! Happy to have you!
Hi Ellen, you are a fantastic teacher! How do I sync, my iPhone and my iPad with notes? thank you, Doyle.
Hi Doyle! Thanks for the kind words. Make sure you are using iCloud for your notes. Go to Settings>Your Name at the top of the page>tap iCloud>>tap show all>Notes should be on> tap and make sure the toggle switch is green. Make sure all of your devices have notes turned on. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much! That was very clear and slow enough for me to understand all of your explanation. Please continue sharing your knowledge
Thanks so much Frances. Happy to help.
Thank you so much, I did not know these things, I usually just make a note and sometimes the letters are bold or some kind of wacky and I just go with it..lol. But after having an iPad all this time and never really taking the time to learn it makes me feel bad so I'm doing it now. Thanks so much for sharing this video and your time with us. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year & God Bless.
MsHunne thank you for your comment and watching the video. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Excellent
Thanks Irena!

Thanks Peter!
You’re so great my mame❤
Thanks for watching Ehab!
Just excellent. Thank you.
Thanks for your kind words Ahmet!
Wow awesome! I use notes all the time when I buy something technical like tv , refrigerator etc where I would have a easy access to models ,serial numbers for reorder stuff because they always ask for that , I used to store a backup copy of passwords in notes and lock it with a password. This video will help me extend my usage .Great Video !
Thanks Sgt Serenity. Keep an eye out I have an updated Notes video coming soon.
wonderful thanks! smart folders video needed too
Thanks Kollax! I’ll add it to the list.
Hi
Great video
🇬🇧
Thanks MIchelle!!
Thanks for the video, very informative and easy to understand.
Thanks David! Glad you found it useful!
Hello I am so glad I found this. You are amazing. This was so helpful for me. I did not have a clue how to use notes, I knew I wanted to use notes but had no idea how to use it. Thank you so much for your knowledge.
Thanks so much Peggy! I hope the other videos will help as well.
Excellent video with lots of very helpful information, very clearly explained. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment RS!
This is just the best! Thank you very much 🎉
Thanks so much Moxie! I’m glad you found it helpful!
Brilliant tutorial thankyou
Thanks Annette!
This was an excellent review of the notes app, very impressive and helpful.
Thanks so much M Bryars!
Great job Ellen, I had no idea how this app worked. Quick question it would be really cool if we could attach a note to an event on the calendar any ideas?
You can add a note but it wouldn’t be an Apple note. That’s a great idea!
Excellent videos thanks so muc😊h
Glad you like them Amanda! Thanks so much.
Thanks for the wonderful and an easily understand video.
Glad it was helpful Mr Patchy! Thanks for watching.
Thanks a lot for this wonderful video.
You’re welcome Mohandas!
Super info
Thank so much Asuresh!
Hi Ellen! Well Done!!!!!! Good video and information!!
Thanks Alberto! Appreciate your comment!
Ellen although your video was very informative I went there to find out HOW to highlight and you mentioned highliting an item but failed to describe how to highlight thanks for the video I will keep searching
Sorry it didn’t help! What is it that you want to highlight and maybe I can answer it here.
Very nice explanation -my first iPhone is completely full and I am trying to figure out how I can delete all of my pics without losing my notes and files.
Thanks so much! Are you sure you want to delete all your photos. If you delete them from your phone they will be deleted from iCloud. Is your phone full or is iCloud full? If it’s an iCloud issue you might want to consider buying more storage.
Thank you for a very informative presentation. We are new RV’ers and are particularly interested in planning and managing our trips using Notes. Is there a way to link emails relating to reservations, etc. to Notes, much as you explained for maps?
Hi Patrick, Yes there absolutely is. Thanks for the question. If you have your email app and notes app opened. You can just create a new note. Name the note how you choose, and then drag the email over to that note and drop it. You will then have a link back to that email anytime you wish. I hope that helps. If you need more help reach out to me on my blog there’s a link in the description. I’d be happy to help.
Excellent video-you answered many of the questions I had about Notes. Now if I want to share a note or folder with someone else, must they be Apple Users and have Notes set up?
Yes they would have to be using Apple Notes as well!
@@EllensTipsForiOS thank you!
So happy I found you. I have to ck if I can use my Lenovo pen with my Iphone.
Thanks Judith!
Ellen, this was a wonderful video. Learned a lot. How do you change the text color in notes? Thank you so much for this video.
Thanks for your kind words bigsexy604! You can’t change the color of notes on the iPhone or iPad. You would need to do that on the Notes app on your Mac.
Ellen, truly appreciate your Tips! For this video, you mentioned sharing/syncing across multiple iOS devices. I am not able to do that, is there a video of yours that covers this? Thank you in advance for your help & for these videos!
You are so welcome Terri! If you are using iCloud go to : Settings>Your Name at the top> iCloud Now make sure you have toggled on the switches next to each app you want to sync across your devices. Ex: Notes if the switch is toggled on your notes will sync across all your devices.
THANK YOU so much for this information! It really helped and I’m in business.
Thanks again and have a great week!🥰
Great to hear Terri! Good luck!
Your lessons are excellent because they are detailed, visual and simple step by step. How can I find other help videos by you?

Hi Judith, if you’re watching a video tap where it says Ellen’s Tips For iOS. That should take you my video page then select videos. Hope that helps.
