Is there any way to retrieve notes

that disappeared when I set up iCloud? I lost three papers I'd worked on this weekend. I wanted them to sync with my phone and mistakenly thought iCloud was the answer. Instead they were deleted. Where are they?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs. I have previously suggested ways to recover contacts, calendars etc, and other users have confirmed that they work, as such I am making the following suggestions to recover lost notes, but please note, as yet success is unconfirmed.
Recovering your notes is quite time consuming, you may wish not to save all your notes to save some time, if they are not of importance.
    1.    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
    2.    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
    3.    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
    4.    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
    5.    Wait for the time out confirmation.
    6.    Open the 'Notes' app, and open your first note (assuming your deleted notes have now been restored).
    7.    Select the share option at the foot of the screen (rectangle with arrow) and choose mail.
    8.    Send the email to yourself (If they won't send, save them to draft)
    9.    Repeat steps 7 & 8, until you have copied all the notes you wish to save to email.
    10.    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
    11.    Navigate to settings > iCloud and make sure 'Notes' syncing is enabled.
    12.    Open the 'Notes' app, check that iCloud notes have reverted to how they were before starting the restore.
    13.    Open the 'Mail' app and open the first email you sent yourself and copy the text you want in the note.
    14.    Open the 'Notes' app and create a new note in the iCloud, paste the text you copied.
    15.    Go to iCloud.com on a computer and check that the note has synced to iCloud.
    16.    Repeat steps 12, 13 & 14 until you have recovered all your notes.
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

Is there any way to retrieve notes from the trash can

Is there any way to retrieve notes deleted to the trash can on my iPod touch 4th generation?

There is no trash can. When you delete, they are gone.
You may be able to restore from backup.

Is there any way to retrieve notes from a broken iphone via usb connection?

I have an old broken iphone 3g and I want to retrieve the notes from my old phone; however, there is absolutely no way I can turn the phone on and manually email the notes to myself. Is there any way I can retrieve the notes from a file transfer system once synching up the iphone to my computer? If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

If the phone doesn't power on and isn't seen by the computer then you wouldn't be able to pull data off it with the USB connection to your computer.
You could pursue data recovery if the notes are very valuable, but the cost can be similar to having data recovered from a failed computer drive(possibly prohibitively expensive).

I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distress

If she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for 4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up.

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!

I accidentally deleted a very important page in my NOTES. Is there any way to retrieve this?

I accidentally deleted an important page in NOTES. Is there any way to retrieve this?

If you have backed up the iPad since you created that page of notes and if you have not synced since, you can try restoring the iPad from a backup. Remember that the notes do have to be in the backup and when you restore from a backup, you restore all app data and files from that backup. You cannot select specific content to restore to the iPad. It is all or nothing.
If you want to try this, turn off auto sync in iTunes - without the iPad connected to the computer. Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preference>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Check the box at the bottom, click OK. Make sure that you have a backup in that window as well. Click OK and quit iTunes.
Now connect the iPad and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. Select your backup from the window - Let the iPad restore and then sync with iTunes.
you can turn at sync back on again when you are done.

I've synced my phone, accidentally, to my wife's account and now lost all me photos and data... Is there any way of retrieving it all? The bigger problem is I can remember when my phone was last synced to my account so the info list is not on there either

To see if there are any backups of your device on the computer, go to iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
Moving the mouse over the listed backups will tell you to which device they belong.
If there is no backup of your phone listed, your data is gone.
In case you also used iCloud to back up your data, check this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone. Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased? I had some very important notes that I have to be able to find. Anyone know how?

I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.

HT3302 is there any way to retrieve data ( photos) in particular from an IPOD TOUCH 4 if it has not been backed up??

Only if you used PhotoStream then try getting them (photos only) from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from my lost phone if photostream was not on?

I recently lost my iphone and I cannot find it using find my iphone because it says it is offline. I had the "icloud backup" set to on, but I had photostream set to off. Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from my lost phone without photostream being on? The description of icloud backup says that it automatically backs up your camera roll so I'm praying there is a way. Help please =(

Your iCloud backup includes your camera roll photos and videos by default (unless you excluded it from the backup in settings). To recover them, you would need to restore the backup to a replacement iPhone (or iPod touch) as explained here: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud. (You couldn't recover them by restoring the backup to an iPad, however.)
Be aware that Apple will delete iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to do this before this expires.

Is there any way to retrieve accidentally deleted source clips?

I accidentally deleted source clips for a video project, and now the viewer won't show my video (although I can still see the frames when I run my cursor over the project). Is there any way to retrieve the files or show iMovie where to find the source clips on my computer, kind of like how it's possible to show iTunes where to find source mp3s on my computer when they're moved from the iTunes file? Since I can still see the frames when I move my cursor over the clips (with the exclamation points in the corners), it seems as though the memory of the edited clips must still be in iMovie somehow and be recoverable. Any help would be appreciated - I'd really like to avoid having to re-import and re-edit all of those clips!

Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

I reinstalled windows and wiped out everything. Is there any way to retrieve my library or at least my purchases??

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Certainly you did not reinstall you os without making sure your backup copy was up to date.
Just use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>transfer Purchases.
If you are in the U.S, then you can use the newly released Beta version of icloud to retrieve them. open itunes store, click Purchased under Quick Links.
ALWAYS maintaining a backup is very important.

Is there any way to retrieve past appointment information from Iphone calendar. All disappeared. (kind of important, Apple)

I need to find past work dates and information for taxes and claims, etc, but the calendar app seems to have erased everything dating back further than a few weeks. Is there any way to retrieve this? The IOS walk thru doesnt explain that not syncing ALL EVENTS means they'll all be erased. Dumb. This is kind of imprtant, Apple, for an 'everything' device. Please advise. Post-setting to 'all events' has not restored the info... Thank you!

Not sure what you mean by 'turn off calendars'. Do you mean under 'accounts' that i should delete the previously synched calendar accounts from the iphone and then turn it back on? This will restore all the information?
thank you.
