Contact Notes - Missing

I was really upset to find that Notes in my Contact database do not show up in the new Nano. I use them all the time for directions, additional information, etc. Also only one line of a note shows up in iCal and that is very disappointing too.
I hope Apple is planning to put these two features back in the next software upgrade. They work beautifully on the little 2Gb Nano. I don't understand why these were removed!!!

Someone at Apple seriously neglected this important to many of us feature. This should be addressed immediately as this omission renders this product unusable to a good number of consumers.
Noticed the same issue when sync'ed a new nano yesterday. What is also odd, is if i.e. you only have one title name by card with no other information i.e. tel numbers, e-mails, etc., but the card contains notes, the note will be display in the general listing just under the card name with "..." if too long for one line, but when the file gets selected, other than just one title name, it is blank! Thus it (note data) appears to be somewhere in the nano, but scrolling it much like in the Video iPod does in this case nothing.
Next is the arrangement last/first and first/last which is missing. When selecting by "last" the first name will still display first before the last names now alphabetically set, which is rather confusing while scrolling last names. This feature should be indentical to the settings in the Video iPod.
Photos in the contact book seem to have the bottom 1/8 of the image missing, replaces by a glitch.

    Sorry for my english (O:

    I was having the same problem, I went to the "Apple Store" and a tech guy told me to back up everything on iTunes, and then load as a new phone.... Safari then worked... I then had to tell iTunes to reload all the apps and stuff on the new install... Don't know if this will help you, but I was having exactly the same problem with my Lotus notes webmail server.....
    Worked for me.

  • Yosemite Contact Notes Missing From iPhone iOS8

    After the nightmare of Mail crashes, and still not being able to get Calendar to work with Exchange calendars that work fine with Mavericks, iOS7 and iOS8 devices, I discovered yet another bug and new thing to worry about. Not sure if Yosemite or iOS 8.1 are the issue here.
    I have someone's bank routing and account info saved in the Notes of their contact card on my MacBook Pro. Before my iOS8 upgrade the info was in the Notes of their contact on the iPhone as well.
    I had to get to the bank on Friday to make an urgent payment and got there only to find that the Notes section of the contact card is blank on the iPhone. It was a wasted trip and caused lots of problems for people as I could not send them money in time. Coming back home I found the info is still in the laptop's contacts. I made changes to it just to force an update. But it is still not showing up despite rebooting the iPhone. I do see the info in iCloud so it appears as if the problem is iOS 8.1 Contacts.
    Perhaps we are expected to go through thousands of contacts and check if each one's notes were synced.
    One, looking for a solution. Two, wondering if others see the same problem.
    Thanks.

    Notes are no longer synced through iTunes.  I had the same problem and found this out by chatting with Apple Support.  Notes are synced only through iCloud and IMAP (ex. gmail).   I don't want my notes in the web, and  I could not find any free app that syncs without the cloud.   So although very clunky, I put my notes in Contacts.  Yes, it's clunky.  First name is the note's title and the last name is Notes.  Horrible.  At least I can sync through iTunes without external servers.
    The following post helped me find my notes in my computer.

    Re: Mavericks Deleted My Notesin response to Tazamaraz
    I was in the same boat, losing my mind because none of the suggestions were working or helpful until I stumbled onto this one.  It refers to problems encountered while upgrading to Mountain Lion but the solution worked for recovering my notes..

    I had this problem - all the notes I wanted were "On My Mac", which vanished as soon as I upgraded (and weren't in the new Notes app either).  In the end, I had to find the files which Mountain Lion had failed to migrate to the new app, in the following location:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes/Notes.mbox/
    There was one folder containing a whole bunch of numbered folders inside that. Going through each of the numbered folders right down to the "Messages" folder inside each, I found one or more files of the name format "nnnnn.emlx" (where "n" is a numeral).  I copied all the .emlx files I found into a single (other) directory - as a backup in case something didn't work or I needed to do it again - then selected them all and dragged and dropped them onto the Notes app.
    It's pretty poor form that the upgrade process doesn't reliably handle On My Mac notes, but at least it's not too difficult to recover.
    Hope this works for others!

  • How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

    Dear wise & wondeful people:
    How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
    There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
    Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

  • HT1766 I have manually back up my iphone few days back, and my contact got missing the next day. i restored my back up from iTunes, however, my contact did not get restored. How do i check if the manual back up did actually back up my contact or not?

    I have manually back up my iphone few days back, and my contact got missing the next day. i restored my back up from iTunes, however, my contact did not get restored. How do i check if the manual back up did actually back up my contact or not? How do i get back my old contact in my phone?

    Your entire second paragraph is so confusing I am going to ignore it.
    But I may be able to answer your first and third paragraphs, which seem to address the same question.
    I wonder where your iPhone states it was backed up yesterday.  I am going to assume that you see this under Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
    If that is true, then the backup from yesterday is in iCloud.  The one and only way to restore an iCloud backup is to do this on your iPhone:
    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    That will cause your iPhone to begin a setup process.  As part of that process, assuming you enter the same Apple ID you used when you created the iCloud backup, you will be offered the opportunity to restore from it.

  • TS4036 my notes and contacts are missing

    all of my contacts are missing. Is there any way of getting them back?

    We need a lot more information.  Were they ever syncing between devices/computers?  Did this happen after you set up icloud on a device/machine?  Are they missing from all your computers/devices or just some; which ones?  I assume you turned on iCloud on the devices/computers as well as contacts - right?

  • Please help. Half my contacts are missing and think I've tried everything!

    Hi there
    Sorry this is a long post but I'm a bit desperate and hope you can help:
    I dont have a PC or ipad or anything but do have an iphone 5 and over the weekend my emails (to my live.com account) weren't sending off my phone. 
    So I deleted the live/hotmail account and reinstalled the account.  I noticed that upon re-installation there was no option for 'contacts', just 'notes' and 'calendar' but I didnt pay it much attention as I have an exchange account listed on my phone which features contacts, email, notes, calendar etc etc.
    Yesterday out of the blue some of my contacts went missing (after sending a text to a person, a few hours later their name vanished). I deduced that all the contacts that had vanished were email addresses and newer numbers (over the past few years).
    I still had the 334 numbers I've accumulated over the past 10 years.
    So today - after looking at apple community help sites - I took the following steps:
    - Checked all contacts groups were ticked (they were)
    - Tried switching the contacts box on and off.
    - I deleted my newly installed Live Account as it seemed unnecessary as I could send/receive emails on my exchange account.
    - I then deleted my exchange account and re-installed it.
    - Hey presto, all the numbers and emails addresses which had vanished came back.
    - BUT DOOM... all my initial numbers have gone. This is really bad (relatives, work mates, boss etc etc all lost).
    - So then I tried to look at how to ask iCloud to sync contacts but couldn't really find an answer anywhere.
    - So I tried to log into my iCloud on a public computer to check what contacts I had and move them manually but after logging on (for first time ever) using my iCloud email address and also my live.com email address, no contacts we listed as being in the Cloud.
    - In terms of synching data all I could find was an instruction to turn the 'contacts' tab in icloud off (whilst keeping contacts on iphone) then switching it back on and asking it to merge.
    But this didnt achieve anything new.
    - So I repeated the step above and then as instructed on one post selected iCloud backup. This hasn't helped either and I'm worried that I have updated my icloud to only include my Exchange contacts and not my old numbers.
    So I'm panicking that i'll never get my important numbers back! Any advice?
    My only glimmer of hope is that when I changed from iphone 4 to iphone 5 earlier this year, all of my data was switched using the icloud function (but possibly my live/hotmail account too), which suggests to me that icloud does have all the numbers.
    I still have the iphone4 handset too - so could perhaps get the numbers off that? But I don't know how so any advice very welcome!!
    Please.

    I'm not sure if this will help you or not and you may have tried it already. But, I was having problems with my 20gb ipod (same one you have) and tried everything, including taking it to a local repair shop and even considered just chucking it. Then I read in one of these posts to simply reboot my computer. So I did and guess what, it worked. I felt like such an idiot but sometimes the simplest fixes are the ones you overlook. I don't know if itunes 7 needed a reboot or if there was a problem because other users (my wife) were logged into their user accounts also, but try doing that.
    I hope that does the trick for you. If not, sorry I couldn't have been any more help.

  • How to restore a deleted iCloud backup? I deleted the backup to free up the 5 GB free storage and now on my iPhone some of my Contacts are missing a phone

    How to restore a deleted iCloud storage backup?
    I deleted it all to free up the free 5 GB storage and now on my iPhone 5s some of my Contacts are missing a phone # info and some of the Contacts are missing entirely. Thank you.

    I used this to restore my deleted notes from Time Machine, hope this helps others
    closed Notes,
    turned WiFi off,
    entered finder/go+option/ to 'get to library':  /Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/
    entered TM and selected the 3 files/ hit restore/ keep both (just to make sure, then I deleted the newer file, not the 'restored' file when this worked out)
    opened notes and my deleted notes were back so I copied my notes into pages as a backup,
    turned on WiFi and the notes disappeared!
    replaced my restored notes by copy/pasting my backups into notes/iCloud.... 
    notes/mac would not show across iCloud.... don't remeber this being an issue prior to Mavericks when 'all' notes were selected?
    Apple needs to hear from us so they can fix glitches like this.  TM was created for instances like this, hopefully this is just an oversite.  Pass this along to Apple Feedback/iCloud/bug.  If enough of us flag such issues, hopfully it's addressed on the next update.
    Dear Apple, this should be much easier than it is. We should be able to open Notes, go into Time Machine, and restore anything regardless if it's on my Mac or on the cloud.

  • Contacts not showing up

    Im having a problem with my iphone 4. My contacts are in my phone when i search for them and also show up in my recent calls and text messages. However, whenever i touch contacts to bring up the list none of them are there. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello everyone!
    For all of you out there who have received phone calls, text messages, etc, and have tried adding a contact by means other than directly via the contacts app only to have your contact not show up ANYWHERE (except maybe in a spotlight search), this quick troubleshooting guide is for you.
    Disclaimers: This can be performed on an Apple computer, I do not troubleshoot for PC's (however, anyone who knows their way around computers can easily modify the steps for a PC). This method can also be used if you sync your contacts via MobileMe like I do, and should work for the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4. I have the latest OS on my iPhone, but it should work with any recent OS. My iTunes has been updated to the most recent version.
    Step 1: Open Address Book on your mac. Make sure your address book view is extended to show your groups in the left column. Under groups, everyone will have a group labeled "All Contacts". If that's the only group you have, it's time to create another one. Click the "+" at the bottom of your group column and name your new group whatever you want. For my purposes (as this was an iPhone issue), I named my new group "iPhone Contacts". Do not add any contacts from "All Contacts" to your new group, as this will be unnecessarily redundant. Close Address Book, you're done with it.
    Step 2: Open iTunes and plug in your iPhone. Hopefully you have your settings to manually sync when you plug your iPhone into iTunes, otherwise wait until it's synced to continue. Click the "Info" tab in iTunes. The first option is Sync Address Book Contacts. Make sure this option is checked. Under the first subheading, make sure "All contacts" is checked. Below the groups box, there will be a line that says "Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to:" and make sure this is checked as well. (Bonus info- Unless you created a contact directly via the contacts app on your iPhone, that contact ends up in another list. This is why you can't see it right now.) At this moment is where that new contact group you created in Address Book comes into play. Use the drop-down menu to the right of this option to select that group (remember mine was "iPhone Contacts"). Do not change anything else. Now click "Sync" in the bottom right corner of iTunes.
    Step 3: Once your iPhone is synced, open the Contacts app on your iPhone. If it opens to a contact list, tap the "Groups" button in the upper left corner of the screen. You should see two or three sections. The top section will simply be "All Contacts". The second section will be titled "From My Mac" and will display both "All from My Mac" and the new group you created in Address Book. If you use MobileMe, you will have a third section titled "[email protected]", under which your MobileMe contact group will fall. Make sure you tap the top group, "All Contacts". You will find those "missing" contacts now listed among all your other ones.
    Bonus: If you find you have duplicate contact names but neither contact has a full information card, you can edit the contact, scroll to the bottom and tap the "Link contacts" button, then link your duplicates to insure you have all the info you want.
    Success!! If you have any questions, let me know.

  • BB10 - Link does not sync new Contact note entries and crashes

    Hi - can anyone help.
    Link 1.1.1.26 syncs new entries on both my Windows 7 PC and Q10 both ways, including any text in the Notes field. But adding or changing a Note to an existing entry does not sync.
    In Link Settings I have Contacts (and Calender) ticked (blue box) but when I click on Configure next to either, to check the details of the sync, Link crashes and has to be closed via the Task Manager. 
    Many thanks
    John Sansom
    PS. Since writing the original post I have managed to get one set of Contact Notes to sync - from the PC to the BB - I was doing a manual Sync via Link. But it did not work the other way round on that occasion, and has not worked either way since that.

    same with me. I have installes skype on pc and windows phone. the contact list is not the same?  some contacts are missing on one device and the other device.I have signed in on both devices with same microsoft account.lates skype version cheked.

  • Contacts are missing in Macbook pro and iCloud address book

    Hi, i backup my iPhone to my macbook pro and Icloud . When i looked into contacts, some contacts are missing and its not sync into macbook pro and iCloud also. How to fix this? how to get all contacts to my addressbook in both macbook pro and Icloud?

    I had exported an address book backup: abbu
    so since i wrote, i have found my way into the cloud: selected all entries - deleted them all from the cloud.
    This wiped out contacts on my iphone and i pad, and MBP, as well as on the cloud.  I then imported the abbu back into my now empty address book. 
    To repopulate the crowd, i selected all in my address book and created a single card vCard for export to my desktop.  I then dragged that vcard into my empty cloud.  Now my cloud has the same clean contacts as my MBP addressbook.  The cloud then pushed the clean contacts into my empty ipad and iphone contacts. 
    I had to go back to Address Book>preferences>Accounts and Add an I cloud account - but if you accidentally create a second i cloud account - all of a sudden your address book will duplicate itself.  I quickly reversed it by deleting one of the icloud accounts in my Address Book>preferences>Accounts. 
    I created a new entry on my MBP and it is now on all devices and in cloud
    I also created a new entry on my iPhone and it is now in the address book on my MBP.
    I feel empowered!!
    Have i missed anything??

  • ICould "Notes" missing some messages

    Hi all,
    I lost my iphone and got a new one, but when recovering the data I have some messages in iCloud Notes missing. I know they must be in the iCloud store somewhere end of last year, is there some Special backup that Apple could access for me to retrieve the data if I contact them directly? I only seem to have the last backup with many things missing, probably due to compatibility issues because I previously had an iphone 4 now an iphone 5.
    Help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers, Raefe

    You're welcome.  What I was discussing is the fact that when you restore a backup, any synced data that is recovered is subsequently overwritten (and lost) when your device reconnects to your iCloud account during the second phase of the restore process.  Winston's method interrupts the restore process after the synced data is restored but before it is subsequently overwritten.  It will not allow an older backup (beyond the three available) to become accessible; backups older than your most recent three are no longer in iCloud and cannot be recovered.
    If the notes you are trying to restore were on your device at the time of your oldest backup, it may be possible to recover them by following Winston's method.  You may have already restored this backup and found that the notes were not restored, and then concluded that they were not contained in the backup when in fact what happened is that although they were restored, they were then overwritten (and deleted) prior to the restore process finishing.  You might want to try restoring the backup again following Winston's approach to see if that is the case.  (BTW, all you have to do is prevent your device from connecting to the internet after it restarts.  This can be done by pulling the wire from the WAN port at the backup of the router, by simply unplugging the router, or by putting your device in airplane mode.)

    1 - Select  the thumbnail of one of the problem photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option.  This will take you to the folder containing the original file with that file selected by the Finder. 
    You can also use Find Any File to search for that file (get the file name from the Info pane in iPhoto). You will find the thumbnail version and maybe an edited version also.  Made sure what is found is the large, original version and note were it's located.  Search all of your drives with FAF just in case.
    If you don't fine the full sized version then the only recourse is to use a file recovery application like   SubrosaSoft FileSalvage on your drives to see if any of your full sized photos can be recovered.   If you find enough files to make the purchase of the software worthwhile buy it and recover the files.  However, since it may have been quite a while since you discovered the missing originals it seems unlikely you'll be able to recover any due to being overwritten.
    2 - book projects are just entries in the library databases and can't be exported to another library.
