HELP PLEASE - Notes Files Disappeared

I’m completely stunned.
I just tried to look at one of my iPhone notes to pull up some important data and noticed that all but one of them are gone. Poof – vanished.
I had spent hours entering this information – much of which I don’t have replicated elsewhere – thinking that the **** stuff would stay there on my phone (and backed up on my PC) until I edited or deleted them. Only to discover they can just magically disappear.
If this is a synching issue, than that’s a problem. All the notes were painstakingly entered by hand on my phone. I’ve never entered any notes on my PC so there’s absolutely no reason why synching should EVER override or delete any of my Notes. No reason whatsoever!!
I can’t begin to describe how livid I am that this could happen. I’m assuming that most people use Notes to store important information they want at their fingertips (confirmation numbers, flight information and frequent flyer numbers, etc.) Heck, I even had a notes page to record cute anecdotes related to my two little toddlers which I tend to quickly forget unless I jot them down right after they happen.
Maybe this is something that’s easily restored, and if so, good job Apple, for at least ensuring that important data isn’t randomly lost. If on the other hand those programmers managed to F this one up and created a synching process that will randomly deletes important files for no good reason….. then that’s a fatal flaw in my book and I’ll be **** ****** I ever switched to an iPhone.
And please don’t tell me that there’s a little pop-up that says some files will be modified or deleted when I synch. I expect files to be modified, deleted or overwritten when I synch, that's the way it should be. It should happen all the time, but ONLY when I actually modify or change or delete them. Not at random by a f’d up synching program.
Sorry for my attitude, but as I mentioned earlier, I am stunned. It’s not the time (hours) that I invested putting all this important stuff into various iPhone notes files, it’s the fact that unless this information can be recovered somehow, much of that data will be irrecoverable.
Since I haven't pulled up my Notes files in the last week or two, I have no idea when these files were erased. If anyone knows how I might locate and restore this data, please, please, please let me know.
Thank you!!

There is an enormous glitch with the manner that Notes are being synced between the iPhone & desktops. Or even Apple's own Mail. Even within Mail itself there are huge problems with the system. So I can only imagine the situation on your side.
Excuse my language, but in essence, Apple is sodomizing it's users. For choosing to use Apple software & apps.
How in **** do a whole bunch of simple notes suddenly duplicate themselves when all I did was move them between mailboxes? Then, when I delete the duplicates, how come everything disappears? When I manage to figure everything out, why does a sync with the iPhone not honour the changes?
Wake up Apple engineers. This is not a small issue for the simple fact that Notes was touted as a big feature. So what happens when someone like CA2DC get royally screwed for simply choosing to trust your system?
Dude, feedback through the iPhone or Apple website. Here is the link: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Your post will likely be ignored cause nobody has any idea why and how this is happening. I was lucky I had Time Machine and managed to restore the lost notes. All the best!

Help please, spacific file update only changed files when moved

I record live bands and file size can be very large when i make changes to files i want to save time and resources by only updating what has changed without replacing the whole file. when moving files from desktop to external drive.
say i have a file named "jam" that i add files to on my external drive then i copy it to my internal drive, do some edditing and add some files. when i move it back to external drive i want to update the "jam" file add the new files and changed files without having to keep track of the changed files and not transfer the files that havent changed. can anyone help?

Only files and folders below directory "/emmc" will show up in windows explorer.
You will also not be able to edit (add/delete) files to the /system/media/audio/notifications folder (or just about any folder above /emmc) . This is because you do not have administrator access (for lack of a better term) to the phone.
So, if it's that important to you, you'll have to find a way to tell the phone you're an administrator
Windows Explorer correctly identifies these as two separate drives. There is, after all, a built in drive as well as the swappable SDcard.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Help please missing files Lightroom.

I can`t find a way around this problem--Can somene Kindly Help Please.?
Alfred UK.

What OS are you on?
First step: go to library, and make sure LR knows the location of your files. In grid form, a question mark will appear in the border. If you have masses of red folders, go to the highest level, and ask LR to locate it. (sorry forget the command just now, and I have to split now. Er, Jam. Uh, I have to leave the computer for a while..
good luck

HELP PLEASE - .dv file format not supported

I am using Premiere Pro CS4. I had it installed Windows XP, and my project was working fine. Premiere read .dv files as well as others, but the OS was getting old so I upgraded to Windows 7. Now I load the same project and Premiere does not recognize the .dv files. I get the error that the .dv file format is not supported. I thought this was supposed to be supported by premiere? Do I need to download a codec or change settings, or will I have to convert all of the .dv files to another format? If so, this will take a long time because I have lots of file clips in this project. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all of the help. I already basically understood what a codec was, although those articles did make it more clear. I am still not quite sure how Premiere choses what codecs it will read. I believe it has some codecs included with it. I suppose the files I am trying to work with use other codecs. What I am not sure of is how other programs can play these files and not premiere. If these programs play the files, then that should mean the codecs are installed, so I dont see why premiere cant read them.
None the less, I think my problem lies in the fact that I cannot find good codec installers for Windows 7. I am going to try to dual boot my computer for the time and put CS4 back on the XP version where I think I can find the codecs that I need.
The only other option I can think of is to convert the files to formats that work with my Premiere on Windows 7. If the MS AVI codec will work for sure, then does anyone know a good converter I can use, because this would work best.
Last, not that premiere is on windows 7, the page up and page down buttons do not advance the timeline to the next cut, and the ctrl+D combo does
not insert the default transition. Does anyone know what to do to fix these small problems?
Thanks again for all the help.

Can someone help please, not sure how to do..

hi everyone,
could really do with some help on what steps i need to take in order to take my computer back to the start, im giving my mac to my sister and i dont want her to have any of the files/information on there and she doesnt want it either, have saved what i need and now just need to find the button/steps to enable me to take the machine back to the beginning? i know how to do it on a sony laptop but cant find it on the mac. Id be really grateful for any help as shes coming to collect it tomorr!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Your best option will be to do an Erase and Install together with your sister. This will allow you to completely erase the hard drive, and she will be able to see the "Welcome" screen and use the Setup Assistant to put in her own information and password.
According to your profile, you will be reinstalling Tiger?
Insert the DVD. Print out the "Read Me" and "Welcome to Tiger" so that you have them handy to refer to if you need to. Then double click the Install Mac OSX to boot from the DVD.
Before starting the installation, select your language and go to the utilities menu. Select the First Aid tab and then select the hard drive by brand name. Verify the Disk and repair if necessary. You don't want to do an installation on a disk that has any kind of problems. If there are any problems which cannot be repaired by Disk Utility, please post back with them.
If you like, you can go ahead and partition and format and erase the hard drive while you are in Disk Utility. This is often done before a fresh installation of the OS. If you need instructions, please post back.
Go on to the installation and follow the directions and agree to the licensing agreement. Then on the next screen, you will select the destination drive and you will see a button called "Options". Click on this button. Select "Erase and Install". Format as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Then click OK to continue.
On the next screen, you can choose "Easy Install" or "Customize". The "Customize" option will allow your sister to delete any languages and printer drivers that she doesn't need and will free up a little hard drive space. Then you can click on "Install" to finish.
Your sister should be prepared to create her account, which means she will want to have selected a password. She should also have her "short name" selected, as that cannot be changed later. If she wants to set up her internet account immediately, she should also have that information at hand, although that can be done later. Ditto with the Apple I.D.
After everything is set up, reboot the computer. Go to Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility and drag to Dock. Open disk Utility and select the hard drive by brand name and click on the First Aid tab. Repair Disk Permissions until there is nothing left to repair.
If the DVD is not the latest version, your sister should connect to the internet and go to the Apple download site and Download the Mac OS X 10.4.11 combo update. Repair permissions afterwards. There may be other updates to do as well. Always repair permissions before and after any software installation.
If you need any clarification on any of this, please post back.
Good luck!

HELP -- please --- Temp Files for Microsoft Word

Please HELP -
I believe I overwrote separate file with that of an older working document. Is there a way I could find different versions of this document either in a TEMP file or some other way. I am at the brink of crying. Need to go see my boss soon and have to tell her the bad news.

Don't reboot... Here is what I found for a PC...
Re: retrieving previous versions of word files?
yes you can, IF you haven't rebooted etc. Did exactly that for my son the other day. Had accidentally wiped out all his homework. Found the .tmp hidden files in the same folder, renamed them to .doc, and was able to open and retrieve most of his work. I assume your hidden files are viewable?

Help with notes that disappear from IPad and iPhone?

Help! My notes on the iPad keep disappearing from my IPad then from my iPhone. The notes are showing in yahoo ok. I type my notes and then they are there for a short while then disappear. I share one apple account with my husband so we do not use the iCloud for notes so that we keep them separate. On his IPad when you go to settings/notes he can then show under default yahoo, iCloud and on my IPad. On my IPad it just shows yahoo under default. How can I sort this? Use to work fine before the upgrade.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

Help! My files disappear almost as soon as I import them into Elements 10.

If I navigate away from the folder with my photos, then go back again the photos have disappeared. If I try to import them again it tells me the files are either missing or they are already in the Catalogue. What do I do to fix this? I don't need to reconnect because I have not even had a chance to move anything.

Thank you so much!!!
I had changed the view in Premier Elements to only view video files. I didn't realise it would carry over to Elements 10!
Thanks again.

Need help please - not understanding Libraries, etc.

I need to find someone who can help me out because I can’t for the life of me find a customer support phone number for ipod help (imagine that!). Anyway, my hubby got me this great ipod for Christmas, the big one that holds everything. I have finally gotten good at bringing 10-15 cds into work with me everyday and downloading them on my ipod while I work. This has been going great, as I have about 600 cds I want to get downloaded so I can get rid of all the cds. Well, last week, my computer was running really slow and I noticed that there was a “My Music” file in my documents folder and it was HUGE! Every time I was downloading something to my ipod, it was also copying it there. So, I deleted that Music folder from my computer, as I didn’t want to get in trouble here at work for having it on there. When I did that, I apparently deleted the files that my ipod Library reads from. Now, I know this isn’t a huge deal if I had copied everything over to my ipod Music file, out of the library music file. But, there were a few songs I had not copied over, a few I had bought, so I guess now they are lost forever? Also, why can’t my ipod music file serve as the library as well and why can I not use any computer to so this? I can’t store music files of this size on any computer anywhere, work or home, so what am I to do?

The concept of the iPod is a mobile version of your iTunes library - which is stored on your computer. So when you import CDs you are importing them to your computer, as you discovered, in your My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music directory. By default, when you attach your iPod, iTunes syncs your iPod to the contents of the library you created on your PC. There are options which control the compression ratio of the songs which controls the overall size of the library (and the sound quality of the songs).
If you are concerned about storing your library on your work PC it would be better to use your own PC at home. If you don't have room for your entire library, you can either buy an inexpensive external hard drive, or select the "Manage contents manually" iPod preference so that you can delete your files once they're on the iPod. But this is dangerous if you don't keep a copy of your library burned to a CD, because (again, by default) music is copied only from iTunes to your iPod, not from the iPod back iTunes. There is software you can buy to do this, but that's another topic. If you delete your library then reconnect your iPod, the contents of the iPod are lost because iTunes is syncronizing the iPod to itself.
I can't answer your question about purchased music, because I only use my own CDs (purchased music is too compressed for my taste).
Since you haven't gone too far in creating your library, I would start over, at home. Import everything, add your album artwork, adjust all the information (like genres) to your liking, then backup your library to DVD or CD. An easy way to do this is to create a playlist and drag all your music into it, then select "burn playlist to disc" and follow the instructions.
Another good thing to do (before you start) is go to the "Importing" preferences and select the default bitrate iTunes will use. 128Kbps is the default, which is the highest compression (and lowest quality). Try a few other bitrates (importing the same song, preferably of acoustic instruments, over and over) and see what bitrate you like. To some, 128 is good enough. IMO, 224 is a good compromise. The average compression rate is about 8:1 and it sounds good (to me, anyway)...

Hopefully this will format alright, but my question is, is that why is it giving me this error... it happens in the create multiples function(the last function in this code block) this is a jlayeredpane which is called by a JApplet. Any ideas on the loading? Its in the getImages() fuction.

These are the lines it dies on.... the System.out.println(piece.toString()); precisely. I don't know if I am not getting the images from the directory right... or if I need to make sure this is in a JAR file or not.

Help Please Line IN disappeared

i have recorded a few tracks with my guitar going straight into my computer. Never any midi. About a month ago my line in under preferences-sound-input disappeared and all i get internal microphone, i tried everything i could think of. Today at the local music store I purchased a presonus audio box usb thinking i could just connect that to my computer and not have to worry about the line in.. Now under preferences-sound- i see the audiobox usb is listed. The audiobox is on, everything plugged up but the computer is still using the internal microphone. What am I doing wrong? beyond frustrated.. thanks

Line IN disappeared
open your Audio MIDI Setup utility and select the line-IN, that should bring it back
the computer is still using the internal microphone.

Using Streamclip for FCE import of DVD.......HELP please, not happy

Hi there friends...
Using Streamclip to import a dvd (I shot some stuff and popped it on dvd) or two for use in Final Cut Express...
I select the .VOB files to use and it does its thing.....but when I preview (before exporting), there are fine lines on movement..
I.E when people move/ hands have lines all over them etc.
What can I do to fix this.....?
AND, What are the mest exporting settings?
Regards,
Chris

import to fce without interlacing and keeping as much quality as possible....
Your requirements are contradictory. Deinterlacing the footage will throw half of the pixels away, reducing quality. The DVD images are already highly compressed MPEG 2 files.
Interlacing is not a fault, it is the technique used to present the image on a television. A computer monitor cannot display a television image correctly because it cannot display interlaced video correctly.
Setting the Viewer and Canvas window size in FCP to something other than 100% will force it to display the video frames as a single field.
If you do decide to deinterlace, it should be done using the final edited master exported from FCP and only if your delivery method uses non interlaced playback, such as a web site. If it is going to be shown on a TV, keep it interlaced.

[solved]bash help please: sort files & recognize duplicates

Hi!
I'm trying to move/rename all files in a folder and its subfolder by age. And move duplicate files somewhere else.

What am I doing wrong? Been trying for hours - I just don't get it...
Thanks!

Help please - not seeing hard drive

It was working perfectly then we ejected the 3Tb to load content and now the media player refuses to search for it and show up under source. what went wrong. have run defrag on drive and deleted so much to make space (130Gb) free now on external

Which Harddrrive is not being seen ? the 3TB USB External or the 1TB Internal ? if it's the 3TB USB External that's not being 'seen' .... plug it back into your PC and run a Check disk http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows-vista/check-your-hard-disk-for-errors defrag does diddly squat, if there are errors

Help please (not blather): Fix/Disable CS3 palette fade-in/fade-out

My other thread got clogged with lots of insults and useless comments.
For those of you who have a problem with slow fade-in/out of CS3 palettes, I am asking for possible solutions to this problem, thanks.
I am not asking for misdirection, insults, suggestions to get a new machine, etc, thanks.
I am courteously asking for anyone with a practical solution, including hacking the binary or whatever, to stop the useless fade-in/out of palettes on CS3.
Thank you.

Okay, I switched my primary Scratch drive over to a different IDE internal disk volume with 23 GB free. (Then I quit & restarted PS)
I have 2GB (max) RAM on the dual G4. 67% of installed RAM is assigned to PS.
Having the other Separate IDE Disk as the Scratch volume made No difference in the fade-in speed.
I also tried stuffing a heavy QT encode into the system, which takes 80% of both CPUs when running. This does make a bit of difference, perhaps 0.5 secs overall.
Opening a large-ish document in PS ( 580 MB ) causes the fade-in to slow down a little bit, perhaps by 0.5 seconds slower.
With this large image, trying BOTH Raptor and IDE internal hard disks for Scratch, made No difference in fade-in time. So, no way is the fade-in slowness due to the Scratch disk setup.
Except for the video card, my sys looks pretty much like Ramon's. I have never enabled Dashboard (CPU hog), and Spotlight is disabled on my Sys and Scratch volumes (same disk, separate partitions).
One more bit of info: the Fade-In always looks like it takes only two steps, (1) 50% opaque over desktop, (2) 100% opaque and ready. 2nd monitor is 1600x1200 x 24bit via PCI video card.
I have perhaps 150 font families installed under 10.4.11 and use Unsanity's FontCard, but most of my work images do not include any fonts.
Unless it's the Fonts, or the Video card (soon to be tested), I don't know what else it could be.
New Info: (Don't know why I didn't try this earlier, too tired at 2:30am...) I moved all my palettes over to my main monitor (AGP slot, ATI 9000 Pro on 1920 x 1200 Apple Cinema Display)... The fade-in is much quicker there; around 1.5 seconds to fade the palettes in.
Again it happens in two steps of fade, just faster than on the 2nd monitor. This leads me to believe its the video card, and perhaps the new 9700 AGP will fix this problem...
Also, the fewer the number of palettes open, the faster the fade-in on the main monitor... Looks like a simple "too much graphics to build, paint & fade" to me...
