Hi @AC,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Thanks for reaching out and for the detailed information you've provided. I appreciate your patience and the steps you've already taken to troubleshoot the OneNote sync problem on your iPad.
Based on the error code you’re seeing (0xE4010643 c12qc), this issue is typically caused by an expired or invalid authentication token. OneNote’s mobile apps rely on these tokens to access notebooks stored in OneDrive for Business or SharePoint. If the token fails to refresh or the app loses track of your login state, OneNote can’t sync and throws this behavior.
You’ve already tried the essential steps, which is great. Here are a few additional workarounds that have helped others resolve similar sync/authentication issues:
- Reinstall OneNote Uninstall and reinstall the app to wipe all cached data and corrupted files. After reinstalling, sign in and monitor if syncing resumes.
- Check Device and App Settings
- Ensure Background App Refresh is enabled for OneNote in iOS Settings.
- Confirm your iPad has a stable internet connection.
- Verify your device is listed as compliant in your company’s Intune/Endpoint Manager portal (if applicable).
If the issue persists after these checks, it may stem from a deeper system-level cause. In this case, I recommend contacting the higher-level support team who can access backend details and investigate further. Once you reach out, a live agent will contact you through your preferred method and assist you step by step until your issue is fully resolved.
You can open a support request through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. When submitting your request, please include a brief description of the issue, along with any relevant details or patterns you've observed.

Wishing you a great day.
