Did backup, restored and all Notes are gone

I did a sync and then performed a restore. I seem to recall an update might have been done during the restore. None of the notes in the NOTES app are there now. Had some very important notes of meetings there.
I have done a soft reboot. Notes was not set up to sync to Mail. All of the other Apple apps were successfully restored. Only my NOTES app came back with nothing restored. I've tried iPhone Backup Extractor but the instructions I followed were for a jailbroken iPod. Messed with Disk Aid 4.12 but could not figure it out either. Can these lost notes somehow be transferred to my iPod Touch?? Anybody have a solution? Certainly would be appreciated.

You guys talking about nots in Mail or the Stickies?
If in Mail, open Mail, click on the Notes mail box to display the Notes list. If the Notes mail box is gone, just create a new note and the Notes MB will be back. Once in the Notes MB, launch TimeMachine (assuming you have one) and go back in time until your notes reappear. Select all and click 'Restore'.

It's very possible that you did just as you suspect. One of the later Note file over wrote the one stored on your iPad when you synced.
When one does a sync of their iPad a backup of the iPad is created first. If that backup was still available you might be able to find the Note file there. But more than likely, if you are letting the iPad and iPhones sync on their own over Wi-Fi you have over written that back up as well.

Did backup before restore and my Apps are gone.

Yesterday I updated my Ipad. I made SURE to do the backup first.
It said backing up ect....when It asked to restore from backup I said
yes...and?....none of my purchase apps appear on my pc, and are gone
from the Ipad.
Really *****.

This doesn't help with the restore process frustration (yike!), however to regain your apps: you can re-"buy" your apps from the App Store. iTunes will recognize that you've already bought the app (even though the "installed" message doesn't appear in the Store) and prompt as to whether you're sure you want to re-download the same app. Select OK, and the app will be re-installed.
I was lucky; I only lost one app during my last update process, and I received the above instructions from iTunes Support. I'm sure you're not looking forward to replacing all of your apps this way, though, and it would be nice to know why iTunes seems to randomly decide that it's not giving you back an app or 100.

ICal calendar list is empty and all events are gone

My iCal calendar list shows up empty and all my calendar events are gone as well. I read posts with a similar issue where the list of calendars disappeared yet the events remained. In this case, everything is missing.
I tried deleting the ical plist file but it did not help.
Has anyone else seen this?

i deleted everything under
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
and started over to fix it

I accidently synced my ipod to itunes and all musics are gone

I recently used other program called copytrans manager to transfer musics to my ipod
and yesterday I don't know why I did it, but I hit the backup button, assuming that will save my musics files too,
and hit the sync! but I felt weird so I canceled the sessions as soon as the syncing process was ongoing.
However, after that, I clicked music file on my ipod to listen to music and
musics kept skipping to the next one and finally all of them are gone and I only have
2 musics which I purchased in itunes store. and in my playlists, sopt mark in the circle was shown right next to the title of the music.
my ipod is 5th generation and I was about to update mine to 7.02, I think? and I am using the latest itunes.
I used to have about 900 songs in my ipod and my itunes has only 400 out of 900. so....
Is there any way that I can recover my ipod? like is there any time machine?
please help me please!! I am desperate now!!!

Thank you for all the supports and answers.
But I have a new problem here.
I connected my ipod to my mac and turned on the itunes.
And I still haven't done anything to my ipod. (haven't re-synced or tried to fix my problem. my situation is same as my original post says,)
I clicked 'my ipod's music'section on itunes' sidebar.
And surprisingly, all my old music are still there, but with some greyed titles.
What do i have to do? I don't want my situation to get any worse.
What is needed if I want my musics back?
Help me please!

I restored my Ipod 4th Gen, and all pictures are gone, I backed my Ipod up before this restore, HELP PLEASE!!

First I set my Ipod up as a new Ipod then I restored it with my back-up and my precious photos are gone

Try restoring from backup again. From the date of the backup would the photos have been in the backup?
Can you get them from your PhotoStream? See:

Hi

Did you do a back up first? If so you should be able to sync to itunes again and have everything back.

During the upgrade all bookmarks are gone. There does not appear to be a saved file of the bookmarks.

I have attempted to restore and import the former bookmarks, but I do not know where to look for the files. On a windows XP service pack 2 desktop computer, I upgraded from 3.6 to 15 last night and all bookmarks are gone. Please help me find where to look for them. Thanks

Do you see any JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder with a file size large enough that they can contain your bookmarks?

I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers and keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where?

I upgraded to the ios5 on my ipad 2 and now all my Notes, Numbers, keynote and goodreader files are gone. Did they back up? If so where? Any help is greatly appreciated.

that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.

No Backup = No Photos... sorry.

I updated my iPad to ios 6.1 and now all my notes are gone. Can you get them back?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Offand, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
If these do not solve the problem you can restore from a current iTunes or iCloud backup.

Where did my photos go? I started to move a 25GB directory of all my photos to the creative cloud and now they are gone!

The iCloud Photo Stream only stores up to 1000 photos for thirty days. If you have more that 1000 photos or photos nearing the 30-day mark, you should export them to another device.

I recently had to send my old iPhone back and get a new one. When I did, I simply did a restore and backup with my computer. When I did that, my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad are no synced,

I recently had to send my old iPhone back and get a new one. When I did, I simply did a restore and backup with my computer. When I did that, my iMessage between my iPhone and iPad are no longer synced. No matter how many times I went to settings, messages and adjusted it, my iPad and iPhone recognize when I send a message out but not when I received a message from another IMessage user to my iPhone. My iPad simply doesn't get those messages. HELP!!!!

If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
Good luck in retrieving that information.

My grandson played with my 4th generation iPod touch and the phone icon and contacts icon are gone. I have gone to settings and done the "reset all settings" and "reset home screen layout" with no success. I also did a hard reset. No luck. Help?

Try doing a Spotlight search for the Contacts app.

WHat do i do!!!!!! Is this some type a virus???? my mac is protected!!!!! tried to chat with an IT person but they keep asking if its like a tech problem and it is just iphoto

You should get your keyboard checked as it's repeating on a lot of keys and makes you look silly.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
