Half of my notes have just disappeared. Why could this have happened?

Half of my notes have disappeared in one day. Do notes expire after a certain amount of time to clear up space? What could have caused this?

One possibility is if you have more than one email account which your Notes are synchronized to, and either you changed your Notes view to only be looking at one of the accounts instead of all of them, or perhaps you disabled the Notes for one of your email accounts, not realizing that you had some notes syncing to that account.
In the top-left corner of the Notes app, you see "< Accounts"? If so, tap that to see a list of email accounts that have Notes enabled, then verify that you're choosing "All Notes" as opposed to something like "Gmail". You should also check your iPhone Settings (Settings/ Notes) to see which account is specified as your default.
If you don't see "< Accounts" at the top of the Notes app, then you only have one Notes email account (or none at all, where Notes are saved only on the iPhone). If this is the case, see below.
The other possibility is that you went into Settings/ Mail, Contacts, Calendars and turned off the Notes feature for one or more email accounts. Check to see if that's the case, and if so try turning the setting back on (although some email accounts won't re-synchronize notes when you turn Notes OFF and then back ON).
Another possibility is that you're using Yahoo for Notes, which is notoriously bad at maintaining Notes (and Contacts IMO).

Imove shuts down for no reason while i'm working on my project. why could this be happening?

Imove states my project is out of date, and also shuts down for no reason while i'm working on my project why is this and what can i do to fix this please help!! working on a gift for my cousins wedding.

ok Rebis i think this appears to fix your problem , not sure though.. they say just to reinstall mac os X , back up your stuff and format the drive, reinstall the os. In my case , it just reboots by itself , no grey screen , nothing, keeps rebooting and rebooting sometimes. Ran apple hardware test, sry dont remember error # , but it said video controller error.
I hope Taylor posts again to see if his got fixed, cause it seems his problem and mine are really alike if not the same.

I just deleted an email account on my iPhone 5s and all my notes just disappeared when I went to access them. Is there a reason why my notes would just disappear? I don't recall linking my notes to the email account I deleted.

I just deleted an email account on my iPhone 5s and all my notes just disappeared when I went to access them. Is there a reason why my notes would just disappear? I don't recall linking my notes to the email account I deleted.

I've wondered about this issue as well. I have multiple email accounts, some old ones that I don't use much, others setup for support of particular projects/groups.
I have no idea how and/or why some notes are linked to a particular account.
I'd much prefer to have the ability to link all of them to an account of my choosing, thus when emailing from a note tied to a specific email account, that account would automatically be used to perform that email.
But more importantly, why can't we be allowed to create 'folders' that function the same way as the Finder on my Mac. This file structure could then be accessed by every iOS app and device.
This type of file structure would be a god-send for the camera roll on my phone. I HATE having all my pictures in one huge clump (cloud?)! After all, who wants to live under a cloud all the time?

TS1702 Re: Notes App. I opened Notes, then opened a particular note. It opened briefly, and then suddenly several notes, from the past two weeks, just disappeared. Is this a known glitch, and is there any way to retrieve or restore these lost notes?

The other day i deleted my email accounts off of my ipod and only reloaded a few of them. today i looked at my notes to look at a project i had typed on my notes because i didnt have paper and pen around to write it and i didnt want to froget. I reloaded the rest of my emails in hope that everything would reappear but sadly only some of them from 2010 loaded. Recently i had update some of the files and they were like they were when i first created them there were alos ones that i had deleted long ago. There are other notes i had made that were really important to me to andi wouldn't be able to remember every single one. Help Please!

Any time you've changed anything in your billing, it does this once to very things.

Hey Raffiecat,
Thanks for the question. If your iPod is setup to manually manage content, you can add content from multiple libraries:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad.
You can also learn which content you can import to your new computer from your iPod:
iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod

Or, if you still have access to the previous computer, you can transfer your iTunes Library:

The AirPort Extreme should work fine with BT Infinity (as it works with Virgin Media).

Iphone 6 automatically turn on even not connect to charger, why would this happen and how to solve it?

iphone 6 automatically turn on even not connect to charger, why would this happen and how to solve it?

I'm not an apple expert or anything, but after hearing this from a coworker (and doing a quick google search) many of the generic chargers do not work in the 5s (especially after the most recent update.) I'm thinking this may be the problem in your case...the charger is not working so the phone just needs a good charge from either an apple certified charger or a generic that will actually work with the phone. I've read some people are able to pull the cable out, turn it around and then plug it back in facing the opposite direction to get it to work. Many have reported, however, that even when this remedies the cable issue, its still won't charge the phone while it is completely dead (which is likely the case since it won't power on at all.) So if you haven't fixed your problem by now, go buy a new charger and see what happens. You might be able to go into and apple store and borrow a charger there for a few minutes to see if this actually IS the problem. That way you don't waste your money before buying.

My phone keeps saying that it can not activate my iphone why is this?

my phone keeps saying that it can not activate my Iphone , why is this?

Just have to give it some time. The activation and verification servers are all slammed right now 'cause of all the people trying to update at the same time. Give it a couple hours (or overnight if you can wait) and it should sort itself out.

Also, changes made in Outlook do not appear on Phone or IpAd

I'm guessing outlook doesn't support iCloud or vice versa or the settings for iCloud in Outlook are turned off. Just a guess though I don't use Microsoft products if I can help it.

i noticed this as a bug in iTunes. make sure the correct file is selected in the preferences menus. It does not have to be the default location directiory as Vazandrew stated. your iTunes music library can be anywhere you want it. i have mine on an external cuz i'm a dj and have over 80,000 songs.
once you select/verify the location of your music library, simply drag the folder into the left panel in iTunes from a finder window. iTunes does not automatically add the items like it use to for some reason.

1st - itunes downloaded to my ipod albums that are all fractured, compilation albums are seperated.This should not have happened but itunes felt it knew better. I do not like it.

1st - itunes downloaded to my ipod albums that are all fractured, compilation albums are seperated.This should not have happened but itunes felt it knew better. I do not like it.
2nd - While trying to fix it, itunes made all albums and artists unknown
3rd - While trying to get an answer I am unable to contact anyone or even send an email requesting an answer.
4th - While trying to use the "fast lane" i ran into trying to find the product S/N, I went to my account and it was not there. I tried to see it on the back of the Ipod but had to find a magnifying glass to even read it.
5th -- The we will get back to you really ****** me off
6th -- I have wasted 2 hours to fix something that should not have happened and the situation is worse than when i started
7Th --- Itunes management of songs is terrible and there are NO instructions and even worse no support
8th ---- Apple is going down the toilet because the products are good, not great, and the itunes instructions are non existent
9th --- to even suggest i pay for product support is insulting and a sign that apple is desperate
10th -The suggestion for online feedback is this; BE ON-LINE SUPPORT, NOT WHATEVER YOU CONSIDER IT TO BE NOW.

I agree with stevejobsfan - (0123).
However, if what you actually want to do is to fix/sort out your problem, why no try posting a question on that subject?
For starters - you can re-name the tracks in your iTunes library, so it is possible to correct the changes that you must have made that mean that songs are now "unknown artists and albums."

I sounds like you have the first generation (1G) iPod Touch with an iOS earlier than 2.0, Yu can identify your ipod here:

You can identify your iOS version by going to Settings>General>About and look by Version. Yu can update ti iOS 3.1.3 (the lated for the 1G) by this link. It is a paid update. You may have to try another browser to get he sublink to work correctly.

As Excel is not an Apple product, I believe you will get more useful help by using Microsoft's support community for Office:Mac here:
Office for Mac forums
They are as active and helpful as these, and sometimes employees from the MS Mac Business Group are available for helping.
Be sure to show which version of Office:Mac you have when posting there. It can make s difference in advice offered.
