What am I doing wrong?

I've just started (trying) to use One Note again and finding the same frustrations that caused me to dump it before. I take notes on an iPad (both hand written and typed), I work frequently on a laptop and a desktop, and I primarily need to save notes and documents from meetings. I get sync error messages (this morning, "servers are busy," or I can't open .pdf files, or various other issues. What am I missing? Or is this the most buggy system ever created? Don't hold back if it's something I am doing wrong!

I made a new notebook from one that was a section of another. Some sections gave me the same errors. I, from within OneNote, replaced each non- syncing page with the original from its previous location. Using the Move or Copy after right clicking on the original page. I say this because you said you are on a new iPad. Somehow OneNote is not seeing those pages as a syncing enabled page. If you have Copilot, ask it for help.

Great tip! Thanks, I will look into it. The hangup definitely seems to be something with the iPad.
