Seems like Notes saves a new version of my current note with every word I type. I just wrote a brief note and there were 17 versions saved in the sidebar. This is dumb in my opinion, any way to change this "feature"?

Maybe this:

Turn Off Auto-Save in Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion - YouTube

Next option, use OS X SL 10.6.8???

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I like 10.8 with the exception of this feature. ¡Thanks for the link!

I have been using Notes (and Reminders, etc) since day one on Mountain Lion and have absolutely no idea what either of you are talking about. It certainly doesn't save any versions for me.

Try deleting all notes and start a new note. Does the same issue persist?

Maybe we're talking about different OS X 'Notes' and how they are being used and 'saved' etc., or maybe the OP has some other OS X ML 'Notes' problems???

Inside OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion GM: Mail 6.0 & Notes

Edit: A quick google search provided multiple hits with OS X ML users getting multiple copies, but other than the too often "me too" type posts, I see no actual posted solution for those with the problem.

But not my problem so I don't need a solution with SL 10.6.8.

This is what I'm talking about:

Maybe with DDKD726's recent screen shot post you can now provide a possible explanation or a solution as to what or why??

Nope. Does absolutely NOTHING like that for me, nor any of my clients. Weird.

Maybe notes with other exchange servers? I disabled everything but iCloud. I never had issues.
