After updating my 3gs to the new iOS5, my notes have completely disappeared. How will I get them back?

My notes have completely disappeared after updating my phone to the new update.

The same thing happened to me and I was able to get all my notes back onto my phone.  This is easy if you are on a Mac, and if you have a MobileMe subscription.  This probably does not work if you do not have a MobileMe subscription.  It may work on iCloud, but I have not set this up yet.
Open Mail.  In tthe sidebar on the left hand you should see several entries like Mailboxes and Reminders.  Expand Reminders and you should see a couple of tabs.  Notes and To Do.  Expand Notes.  Now you will see a couple more tabs.  On My Mac, and something like [email protected]  (xxx will be your login name for MobileMe)
You should see all your notes in the On My Mac.  If they are there, all you need to do is drag them over from the On My Mac folder to the [email protected] folder, and they will sync over to your phone.  Instead of dragiing you can also right click on one or more notes and then choose Move To.
I hope this helps.

  • HT1338 After updating my mac to the new operating system I have had several problems.  Now my printer program is not working.

    After updating my mac to the new operating system I have had several problems.  Now my printer program is not working.
    Do you have any suggestions?

    Start by telling us what printer you hope to use.
    Look at the printer manufacturers site to see if they have a 10.9 print driver.
    Assuming you have tried to delete & re-add the printer it's possible that the model is no longer supported.
    You can also try the printing system reset…(I think 10.9 is the same as the Lion instructions).

    If the model is supported you should be able to add it & the driver will be downloaded.

    By reinstalling do you mean that you deleted the app and redownloaded it ? Deleting an app will remove the app and its contents. Do you have copies of the PDFs in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library so that you can sync them back ?

    Did you create these notes in the iPad notes App ... I assume?
    This support article will explain how you can restore from a backup - which is what you have to do in order to have any chance of recovering your note.
    How to backup and restore from a backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    But you have to remember, that you will lose any of the notes that you have taken since the date of the last backup. If you synced your iPad last week, then you will lose a whole week of current notes - or whatever notes you have created since your last backup. When you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup onto the iPad - that was on the iPad on the time and date of the backup.
    If you backup every day, then all of your notes should be recoverable from the backup - except for any notes that you took since you last backed up. There is no foolproof way to recover everything once you start taking more notes or creating new documents or whatever that you do in an app unless you are syncing those notes with iCloud and backing up all of the time or unless the app is set to sync with iCloud as you work on the files - like in Pages, Numbers or Keynote - Apple's iWorks apps.
    If you decide to restore from an iTunes backup you should turn off at sync before you try restoring because iTunes will want to backup your iPad right away when you plug it in and you will lose your old or last backup.

  • Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I just upgraded to the latest software for my pages.  When I opened an old document it stripped out all the images I had in my tables.  How do I get them back

    I just upgraded to the latest software for my pages.  When I opened an old document it stripped out all the images I had in my tables.  How do I get them back

    Don't save. Close the documents.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 will damage/alter older files, something Apple didn't tell its users.
    Pages 5 is a severely stripped down version with over 90+ features removed.
    We recommend trashing/archiving Pages 5 after Exporting any files you may have saved back to Pages '09.
    Also rate/review Pages 5 in the App store.

  • The notes section in all of my contacts disappeared. how do I get them back? Help!

    All of the notes in my Contacts dissapeared. How do I get them back??!! I rebooted my phone. Also, although my iPhone 4S is marked in settings to back up my contacts to iCloud, there were NO contacts saved...now what...?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Why were the older entries in my calendar erased and how do I get them back?

    All of the personal entries into my calendar are gone. The only entries still appearing are all Holidays and all personal entries for the last quarter of 2014. All entries made for the rest of 2014 are gone. I checked The Cloud and they're not there either. Why did they automatically delete and how do I get them back?

    Thanks so much, you are absolutely correct. I must admit that I didn't realize that meant past entries on the calender were swept away after a certain period of time.
    The setting is fixed now (thanks to you), but is there any was of retrieving the data that was erased ??

    Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
    If that helps then you most likely have some security software that isn't working properly.
