How to recover notes lost in syncing error

I was trying to sync my notes to my Gmail, but kept getting an error message. I deleted the google account and re-added it, but all of my recent notes disappeared and are nowhere to be found, either in google or on my mac. How can I recover these notes?

Missing contacts:
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page.  If they are gone, then they are gone (must have been a setting during the update to iOS6). 
If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud. 
On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
Note:  Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.   So performing a restore will not help.
Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
Then they have been deleted.  There are many reasons for this.  One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device.  How to get them back?  Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases.  Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac).  Just restore the data files back to the computer.  Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

  • How to recover physically lost redolog files -11g

    I could recover the database and thank youGood. Now that you've put out the fire, you need to be finding out how it was you lost all of your redo and make a plan to prevent it from happening again. To that end ..
    Let me guess .. since your redo logs were named something dot log, someone was doing some housekeeping and thought there'd be no harm in deleting a log file. Up until 10g, the default names for redo logs was *.rdo. Shortly after my first upgrade to 10g, with the default of *.log, I twice had to recover due to some SA reclaiming space by deleting "log" files. Since then I've continued to name by redo logs *.rdo.
    And whether that was the cause or not, I hope you now see why it is strongly recommended that your multiplexed redo logs - the different members of each group - are as physically separate as possible. Ideally, they are on separate physical discs going through separate disk controllers. But at the very minimum they should be in separate directories to at the very least protect you from "rm *.log"

  • Recover Notes lost in a backup

    I had a lot of important information written in my notes and lost it during my last backup. Foolishly I checked the box 'replace information on my iphone' with my gmail notes account. Is there a way to recover the lost information from my notes that was only on my iPhone?
    Thank you so much for your help.

    If you synced your phone while these notes were still on it and you haven't synced again since they were deleted, you may be able to recover them by restoring your phone to your last backup (the backup includes notes).  This will revert your settings and data to those contained in the backup (not just notes) so be sure to save any more recent data prior to restoring).  To do this:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When this finishes you can go back to iTunes>Prerferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • How to recover music lost

    i need to recover music i lost on my broken ipod

    Hi, alejandrofromdallas
    All music on your iPod should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Your iTunes library should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data. Data recovery is the only thing you need to do.
    If no longer in your iTunes library, if imported from a music CD then get the music CDs back out to be re-imported by iTunes. If purchased from the iTunes store and no longer in your iTunes library and not included with your computer's backup, the music is lost and must be re-purchased with iTunes on your computer.
    Try to find out how to recover music from iPod. That's not complicated.

    How to Recover an Excel File for Free
    Check the Recycle Bin--if you've accidentally deleted the file, it should still be there unless you've emptied the bin, and you can click on the file and
    recover it.
    Use the Auto Recovery Pane when you open Excel. Review the document recovery pane. If Excel has managed to recover your file, it will show in a separate
    pane on the left-hand side. Identify your document in the pane, then click on it and choose "Open" to open the recovered file.
    Try manually repairing the file. Click on "File" in Excel 2003 or the "Office" button in
    Excel 2007, then select "Open" and click on the arrow next to the "Open" button. Click on
    "Open and Repair" and choose from two options: click on "Repair" if you want to try to completely recover the file, or click on "Extract
    Data" if you previously tried Step 1 and it did not work.
    Search for the file manually on your computer. When performing a system search (click "Start" and select "Search" in Windows XP and
    Windows 2000, or press the "Windows" button and "F" key in Windows 7 and Vista), make sure you choose "Advanced Search Options" and then check the "System and hidden files" check box. You may be able to find your missing
    or corrupted file using this search: double-click on the file name in the search results to open it.

  • How to recover notes that have been deleted

    I Have deleted my notes by mistake and I'd like to know how to recover them without connecting to a computer

    If you are using Notes with iCloud, (if you use iCllud mail) and you have deleted them, they are gone. Once you delete them from one device, they are gone from everywhere. So if you delete them from the iPad, they are gone from iCloud, your iPhone and your computer. If you were using Notes from a third party  and backing up with iTunes, you couldn't recover them without restoring the backup from iTunes.

    HI,
    To recover the lost data, you will have to first delete and fill the set-up tables.
    On the BW side after the set-up tables are filled, do an init w/o data transfer to set the delta. Next extract data from set-up tables using Full-repair request. This will help you get the data which was lost.
    After the full repair, you can continue extracting delta in the normal way since the new pointer will be set when you did the init.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to recover a lost passwords?

    Hi everyone,
    I recently tried to help a friend in installing software she has for her Mac.
    I was prompted for a password but she could not remember what her password was since she has not installed anything for a while.
    I thought it was kind of careless of her not to write it down but I did not give her a speech about it.
    Can anyone inform me how to recover of change passwords please?
    Or a link to instruction please?
    Rio.

    NOTE: The following information has been publicly disclosed on a number of Internet sites, and is not a new find. I'm simply repeating it here for the sake of completeness.
    Read the detailed section of this article for step-by-step instructions on regaining access to your root account.
    Originally posted by QuantumFusion on the MacNN forums, and repeated with slight readbility changes, here are the steps to regain access to root:
    Click Restart at the login window
    While the computer is restarting, hold down "Command-S" until you see text scrolling through the window. This boots the computer into single user mode.
    At the Localhost% prompt type:
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    /sbin/SystemStarter
    You will then see various services starting up.
    When the Localhost% prompt reappears, type:
    passwd root
    It will then ask you to type the new root password twice, so do so.
    After entering the new password, type:
    reboot
    At the login window, enter username root wih the new password. Once you are connected, you can use the Multiple Users application (/Applications/Utilities) to change your normal user's password, or create a new user account.
    Good luck.

  • How do I recover notes lost due to switching my associated email account on the iPad?

    I'm using the original iPad (software version is 5.1.1) and was trying to email a note to a friend. Here is what happened:
    1. The email containing my note did not go thru so I went into the email app. I discovered that my email was not connected  properly so I went into settings and tried to re-enter the password for my gmail account. I still could not log in.
    2. Then I went to gmail on my computer and noticed that there was suspicious activity on my account so gmail forced me to reset my password. Done.
    3. Back to my iPad. Logged into my email with the correct password and it still would not work.
    4. Decided to change the gmail account associated. Logged in properly this time. Went into Notes and my notes disappeared in front of my eyes and switched to the Notes that I have on my iPhone (which are different). At this point I realized that Apple has some stupid setting that links notes to an email account.
    5. Next, I tried to recover my old notes from the original gmail account. Logged in again and this time it worked (I think it took some time for the iPad to retrieve my newly updated gmail password). Notes still did not appear.
    6. Back to settings. Selected the Gmail account, turned off notes, and turned them back on. Still no notes.
    7. Back to my computer. Noticed there is a Notes folder automatically created on the email account. The note I wanted was the only one not in that folder. Thanks Apple.
    Please help!!!

    BTW, I believe the reason why the note I needed was the only one not saved in my Gmail "Notes" folder is because it was the only note created after my Gmail account encountered suspicious activity therby causing my iPad to require a password update.
    Once I switch email accounts, the note was lost (hopefully not forever) since my iPad didn't have time to receive the updated password info from Gmail and push the latest note to the notes folder.
    I'm convinced this is what happened and caused the problem. I just need someone to crack my case for me!
