HELP! Lost all notes with first Sync and need to get them back

I had some very important notes on my phone and I need to get them back. Here is some background info.
I bought a new MacBook Pro a couple months ago. I previously have a Sony Vaio. Shortly after I upgraded from 3G to 3GS. Since I couldn't get my playlists from my old laptop to my new laptop, I synced my phone with my old laptop and not my new one for fear of losing everything.
Today, I finally figured out to get my playlists on my MacBook and then I synced my iphone as usual and upgraded to 3.0.1. Of course, I also upgraded to iTunes 9 right beforehand and it had a couple new options for syncing notes and merging data. I have never synced notes before. Everything else seems fine on my phone except for this. I tried restoring to backup, however, I think that iTunes created a new backup on my Macbook since it was the first time I have synced my phone with it. I no longer have my old laptop. I did transfer all my old files to my mac.
What can I do?! How can I get them back?!

If you use the Time Machine on your computer then you can try to find an older copy of the places.sqlite file.

There are also JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder that you can use to restore bookmarks.

I cannot connect to the internet. I think I have my settings all out of whack now and need to get them back to the way they were when it was working. (I know my wireless router is working because my Dell has no problem connecting to the internet.)

I cannot connect to the internet on my iMac through my wireless router. I think I screwed up the settings and need to reset them. I know the router is working because I can access the internet on my Dell laptop which is located right next to my Mac.

On your iMac try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)

I updated my iPhone 5c to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events. How can I get them back?

I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events. How can I get them back? I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud. I changed it back and still don't have any events.

Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers? If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

You can download everything you purchased from the iTunes Store without having to pay again:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Here is the procedure for your reference, using iTunes 10.7. The procedure and screenshots for newer versions are contained in the above link.
This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.

I hooked my ipod to a different computer and lost all my music files. Any way of getting them back?

Hey, I haven't had a computer for a few months so I hooked up to another computer to get updates and while syncing on itunes I lost all of my music files. I can't find them on the computer or ipod. Anybody know if I can get them back?

If the music was loaded from CDs then unfortunately not, unless you have access to the old computer or the CDs themselves.
If the music was purchased from iTunes and your iPod is running the current version of the software then you can go into the iTunes app on the iPod and there is a purchased section where you can re-download music you have already purchased at no cost.

I had to restore my computer and I lost all of my songs. How do I get them back?

I did not realize you had to back up your songs so I never did. I had to restore my computer to its orginal state. Thinking that my songs would be safe. I was wrong. How do I get them back?

You may not.
You buy one and only one download. it has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
Since you have failed to do this, you could transfer itunes purchases from an ipod/iphone/ipad. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You could try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception but they are under no obligation to allow.

I updated my iPod to ios 5.1.1 and lost all my photos, what can i do to get them back?

I updated my Ipod to ios 5.1.1 I figured all my photos would still be there since I backed it up and had photo stream on but they're no where to be found. Is there any way I can get them back?

Photo Stream has only the recent shots in Camera Roll.
If you didn't backup with the appropriate software then it's gone.

With my upgrade to iOS 6 I lost all my Safari bookmarks. How do I get them back?

Safari bookmarks were lost with iOS 6 upgrade. How do I get them back?

I've lost mine multiple times since upgrading, its really frustrating. Why can't Apple do an OS upgrade without problems like this?

Had to download 3.5 to get some of my toolbars to work, as a result I lost all of my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

Version 3.6.6 got hung up. A friend of mine looked at it and told me it was because of 2 of my favorite toolbars. He uninstalled it and reinstalled it, and it was still the toolbars. So he downloaded version 3.5, but it would only let me have my toolbars in 'safe mode' Now as a result of that, I have lost all of my book marks, and it will not book mark any new pages. Good thing I also have IE 8 . . . LOL How do I get my book marks back?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system. These can automatically back up only what's changed since the previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX. You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
#27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.

I have lost all apps and need to get them back

my hard drive on my computer crashed. i have had it repaired now but lost all data on it. i have all my apps on my phone. i have tried to tranfer purcases. in the info bar at the top my apps are being transfered. when it finishes tranfering there aro no apps on my pc. i have tried backing up my iphone and it says error. i am using windows 7 with a iphone 4 on ios 4.3.3. also using itunes 10.4. my phone is now starting to go funny when i recieve a missed call it does not show up and my emails do not come through correctly. please help.

To expand upon what gdgmacguy wrote, if you imported the photos thru iTunes to your iPhone, the photos are still on your computer.
If you took photos with your iPhone, they are in the backup. Did you restore from this backup?

Downloaded new software ios5 and now I lost all my calendar events. How do I get them back?, downloaded new software ios5 and now I lost all my calendar events. How do I get them back?

I downloaded the new software ios5 the other day. Woke up this morning and all my calendar events are gone! How do I get everything back??

Plug in your iPhone. Restore it. If it asks you if you want to back it up say no. When the restoring is done, without plugging in your iPhone, you should get an option to restore your iPhone from a back up or a new iPhone option. Restore it from your back up. It has nothing to do with iCloud but I recommend you set up an iCloud account to avoid loosing stuff like your contacts. And it's free.

if you set itunes to sync contacts to and from outlook or other mail programs then syncing it with itunes should be restored

After resetting my iphone I lost all my contacts. Is it possible to get them back?

The screen on my iphone3 stopped rotating some time ago. I broke my ankle so I have alot of time to figure out the problem. I hooked the phone to my computer for the first time and downloaded the updates. I also reset my phone to the original settings which resulted in losing my pictures and contacts. Is there a way to retrieve my lost information? I did get the screen to start rotating. Thanks for any help

have you not been using your phone as intended? You should have been synching your contacts with iCloud, Outlook, or Address Book.
Synch your contacts back from one of those applications.
