Accounts button in Notes missing intermittently Touch 4G

My Accounts button in Notes is missing intermittently on my Touch 4G. Latest iOS.
It is just to the left of the top of the Notes window.
Anyone else have this issue?
Google search turns up nothing.
Thanks ... Ken

Okay I figured this thing out. The accounts button is only there in one of two cases: 1) you have two email accounts that can also sync notes, for instance, Yahoo and MobileMe, or 2) if you created a note on your device BEFORE setting up a mail account with notes syncing and then subsequently set up say, a MobileMe account for instance.
#2 is what what happened in my case. I had created a note on my device before I set up my MobileMe account. By default, this note was local on "On My iPhone". Then I set up my MobileMe account and all my notes created in Apple Mail were pulled down from the server to my device. Now I had the "Accounts" tab in the Notes app allowing me to view "All Notes" (the one local plus all my MobileMe network notes), notes "On My iPhone" allowing me to view the local note, and "MobileMe" that allowed me to view only the MobileMe network notes. Then I deleted the local note, and the Accounts tab disappeared, because now, by default, I only had MobileMe network notes on my device. Once the accounts tab disappeared, the only way for me to get it back was delete my MobileMe account and all it's data from my device, create a new local note, and then set up my MobileMe account again and pull down all my network notes and other data from the server again. Once I did that, the Accounts tab came back, and I had the choices again for "All Notes", "On My iPhone", and "MobileMe", and also had the option in settings to choose the default location for new notes in the Settings app.
If you do not have an account set up on your phone that can sync notes OTA (over the air), then all notes you create will be local and the only way to sync them back to your computer will be when you connect the iPhone to your Mac with the USB sync cable, and have notes syncing turned on in iTunes under the "Info" tab in your iPhone settings.
That's it.

I want to delete photos from my ipad but the delete button will not accept the touch

How do I delete photos from my ipad the delete button will not work although the share button does?

The photo must be open to be able to, "delete".

I shut down my IPad 2 every night. So that sleep/ wake button has not corrected the touch screen problem. Any other suggestions? Thanks

I shut Down my IPad 2 every night, so that has not fixed the problem with the touch screen feature. Is their anything else that I can try? Thanks

You have already posted this morning and I assume that you are responding to someone elses's suggestion but from where .... I have no clue.
Go back to here and follow along. GrumpyGator made a couple of suggestions for you to try.

Home button does not wake up iPod Touch

Hey all,
After the iPod screen turns off automatically after the preset idle time, pressing the "Home" button does not wake the device up from the first press; on some occasions it has to be pressed twice before the "Slide to unlock" screen appears.
This is intermittent and I can't pin down how to accurately reproduce the issue, but it seems to happen randomly. I have never experienced an issue where the "Home" button didn't work when pressed during normal operation, so I don't think it is a hardware issue with the button itself. Note that I had this issue before updating the device to 3.1.2 as well.
I have auto-lock set to 3 minutes, with Passcode Lock on.
The device is the 32GB model MC008C, updated with the latest 3.1.2 (7D11) OS.
Cheers

sorry to reply and intrude here but i cannot for the love of god find he new thread button. (maybe a mod will move me please)
I recently restored my iPod touch and i didn't really watch the restore. I know the loading bar on ipod was nearly at end. Anyways, 10-15mins later i go to use my ipod and clicking the home button nothing displays.
I then try to turn on, yet nothing. So googling, i left the battery to completely drain if there is any.
I plug my ipod into my computer and nopthing happens, it does not wake up(turn on) or even charge. I have tried an Iphone wall charger, yet no response from my ipod touch as well.
So i kept googling and i found out about some DFU mode, there was lots of different combinations on the web, i tried them all, yet my ipod does not respon. No noises, notifications or anything in itunes(if itunes closed, does not open up!)
It has now been a good few days since it stopped working, and i cannot think is there anymore to do. It is still in warranty for a few months.
Only problem is, i do not think i;m entitled to phone support, and the nearest genius for me is hours away.
PS: my iPod touch was restored to version 3.2 (latest version if thats wrong <!-- )
I have itunes 9.1
Running windows 7 rc
I have tried my ipod also on the following:
My dual boot vista, another computer with vista and a Mac Pro.
Can anyone suggest anything or help me please?
Thanks in advance,
Malcom

IPhone Notes: Accounts button disappeared...

After upgrading my iPhone 3GS successfully to iOS 4.2.1 I managed to configure over-the-air notes syncing between my iPhone and my iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.5 without any problem:
I just configured Mail on my iMac to create new notes and to dos in my MobileMe account and on my iPhone I verified under Settings > Mail, Calendar, ... that for my MobileMe account notes syncing was switched on. Finally I selected under Settings > Notes my MobileMe account as the default account for my iPhone for new notes.
There are no other email accounts configured on my iPhone and notes sync is disabled in iTunes and in the MobileMe control panel on my Mac, because this is not needed for over-the-air syncing between only one iMac and one iPhone.
There are no local notes neither on my Mac nor on my iPhone.
As I said before: it worked immediately without any problem and it still does so today.
But: all of a sudden the "Accounts" button in the Notes App on my iPhone disappeared and under Settings > Notes on my iPhone I can now only select the font for notes, but no longer the default account for new notes!
Yes, all was set to MobileMe before and all is still working fine, but what if I want to switch back to local notes on my iPhone??? I cannot select "On my iPhone" in the Notes App (because of the missing Accounts button) and I cannot set the default account for notes to "On my iPhone" (because of the missing selection under Settings > Notes).
Is this expected behaviour because there are no local notes on the iPhone/iMac, iTunes notes syncing is switched off and there is only one account (MobileMe) configured with over-the-air notes syncing switched on, so the number of relevant accounts is just one -> no need to show the Accounts button?
Why could I see the empty "On my iPhone" notes account in the Notes App and under Settings > Notes before I switched everything to MobileMe?
And how could I switch it back should I ever decide to do so?
Thanks in advance for any helpfull hint...
Michael

Given the information supplied, it sounds very similar to what happened to my wife's 4. Locked up...came back on with a blank (bluish) screen...could here emails and text coming through. It would get very hot as well. Our local apple store tried two times to rescue it, ultimately rendering it complete inoperable. I'm sorry to say in our case we had to buy a refurb and trade in the phone for $150, which actually wasn't a bad deal.
There could be other information I'm missing, but I would start with seeing if apple can restore your phone. If they can't, then I'm pretty sure it's dead.

My lock screen button is not working and i turned off my iphone with assistive touch. Now i cant turn my phone back on!

I used assistive touch to turn off my iphone, because my lock screen button is not working, so now i cant turn it back on! What i did was, i went to assistive touch, then i held down the lock screen button to turn it off. Now i can't turn it back on.

To turn it back on when you use assistive touch, all you have to do is plug your iphone into a charger and it will power back on

Recently purchased a used IPad 2 but it still has previous owner's data. I've been told not to sync it to my computer as it will cause problems. What do I need to do to make it compatible with accounts on my mac and ipod touch?

You can wipe the iPad's contents completely by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This will remove all of the previous user's apps, data, settings and so on from the iPad and you can set it up as your own.
