HT1386 lost notes from iPhone after syncing

I had the same Notes on both my iPad and my iPhone. Some made on the iPad and some made on the iPhone. Now adter syncing in iTunes I seem to have lost all my iPad made notes on my iPhone. I still have both sets of Notes on my iPad.
Also I added my MobileMe email address to the list of my email addresses I have in Mail on my iMac. My MobileMe emails were then sent to my iMac including all my notes backup both from my iPad and iPhone.
So my Notes are not deleted or lost, just none of my iPad notes are now on my iPhone.
Read the support BB's are now VERY confused what to do to restore my iPad Notes on my iPhone.
On iPhone, I only seem to have: All Notes / On My iPhone / my MobileMe email address
While on my iPad, I have: All Notes / From my Mac / my MobileMe email address
My iPhone is 3GS. My iPad is a 2, both running the very latest iOS. Sync almost daily, never had this problem before.
Think it occured when I added MobilMe to Mail on my iMac, but don't know for sure!!

Hi, I think I have solved this problem. I discovered that the check box in iTunes for my iPhone got unchecked and this was why all my iPad and iMac notes apparently disappeared. I checked it and re-syned and they all came back. End of problem. Hopefully doing a similar thing will learn that for some reason the checkbox gets turned off under some circumstances.

  • ITunes album artwork randomly removed from iPhone after sync.

    iTunes 12.1.0.50. IOS 8.1.3. iPhone 5.  23GB free space on iPhone.
    Album art is randomly removed from iPhone after sync.  This seems to be new to the recent version of iTunes.
    Removed and reinstalled all music. No help, problem still occurs.
    Restored iPhone as a new iPhone and reinstalled all music.  At first, all artwork was installed, but on later sync, random artwork was removed or missing.  Problem reoccurs.
    This appears to be a bug in the software somewhere.
    Anyone having similar problems?

    welcome to my world....
    i have had this at least three times now in the past month.
    I too had to do a factory reset and set up a a new phone.
    i read an article about it being a known issue and something to do with duplicate tracks causing it to hang during sync.  it then fills up the available space with the dreaded "other" data and hey ho you have no music.
    have a look at this, hope it helps and hope Apple get it fixed as it is affecting a lot of people

  • Computer deleted everything from iphone after syncing

    i backed up iphone so i could transfer everything to my new iphone 4s. after syncing to iphone 4s everything seemed fine until i synced it to the computer again to add more songs. the computer then deleted all items on the iphone to the previous backup which was 6 months ago! how do i get all my stuff back? have tried restoring from itunes but it only restores to the last backup 6 months ago. i have gone into the back up folder in my mac to try and retrieve the files but it only extracts the last sync as the phone is under the same names from my iphone 3 to my iphone 4s. i can see in the backup folder the time i synced my iphone before i lost everything but don't know how to extract them. the files are under long names such as "82a9272c06438d47bd97a651891a86b80d7ea425" and can't be opened as i don't know what files they are.
    does anyone know how to fix this?
    i have important notes that ive made that i really need urgently.
    thanks

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics.music/etc,.
    If you have failed to do this, then it is gone.
    You should move your music rom your old computer to your new one.

  • Lost notes from iPhone 3GS

    I have lost all of my 'notes' from my iphone.  I updated to the latest OS and noticed that all of my passwords etc stored as 'notes' had gone.  I have tried to find a back up with no luck and have also restored from an earlier back up with no luck.  Does anyone have a solution?  I know that the iPhone 3GS backs up when connected to my Mac, but it only seems to keep one.
    Regards

    The built-in Notes app also syncs with Notes in Mail (expand the Reminders triangle in the sidebar). Perhaps they are there?

  • How to prevent iphone notes from deleting after syncing to itunes

    Every time I sync my phone to itunes, i lose my important notes! i know how to access them after this happens but I want to prevent them from deleting at all! Please help!

    Hi there KeenMathura,
    There can be a few things that might cause this issue where music is not alphabetically organized on your phone. Resyncing content is certainly one of the steps to use to troubleshoot that. Next I would quit all the running apps on your iPhone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes and then restore it as a new device and verify that it works. 
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Lost contacts on Iphone after syncing

    When I synch, some of my contacts in Outlook Express are only on my I phone.  They were originally in Outlook and my phone but now they have disappeared from my Outlook on my computer? Thanks for any advice.  P.S. I am not a techno strong person.. : )

    I am having a similar problem. I am using Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. Recently I (since my last sync) I had added a new email account to Outlook, however all my contacts remained the same. Today I synced my iPhone 4 with iTunes and when it was done, all of my contacts had disappeared from Outlook and my iPhone and have been replaced with just three contacts that I had added (in my phone) this past weekend. How can this happen and how can I restore my contacts? I am desperate to get them back. I saw the post here about iSync but I don't know what that is. Please help!

    Try this ..
    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to:  Notes
    Then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
    Other than that, try Time Machine >  http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html

  • HT1386 My Safari bookmarks have disappeared from my iphone after syncing

    Lost all my bookmarks after syncing, what gives?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    ~/Library/Safari
    Quit Safari.
    Select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window should open. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.

  • HT1688 My purchased ringtones are not on my new Iphone after syncing. How do I get them back?

    My purchased ringtones are not on my new IPhone after syncing How do I get them back? ITunes store said I had already purchased - would I like to purchase again?

    Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

  • Songs purchased on iPhone through iTunes Store will not show up on iPhone after syncing with iTunes

    I recently purchased iTunes Match (about a month ago).  Since purchasing Match, any songs that I have bought on my iPhone 4S (32GB, Sprint) through the iTunes Store app will not sync back to my iPhone after syncing with iTunes on my computer.  I have iOS 7.1.2 and iTunes 11.3.0.54.  The only way I can get them to show back up in my iPhone music library so I can play them is by re-downloading the songs through the iTunes Store app.  Which is super annoying because now it is about 10 songs that keep doing this, and they are in multiple playlists.  Is anyone else having this problem and have you found any fixes?  Really regretting purchasing the iTunes Match (which is not enabled on my iPhone, just on my computer).

    How to create custom ringtones ...
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Find the song that you want to make into a ringtone.
    3. Listen to the song and find the part of it you want to use. The chorus may be a good place to start.
    4. Write down the start and stop times of the clip.
    5. Right-click the song and select "Get Info."
    6. Click the "Options" tab.
    7. Type in the start time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Start Time" in the minutes:seconds (i.e., 2:01) format.
    8. Type in the end time of your ringtone in the text box next to "Stop Time." Make sure the ringtone is no more than 30 seconds long.
    9. Click "OK."
    10. Right-click your song again and select "Convert Selection to AAC." Wait for iTunes to convert your song. It will create a duplicate version.
    11. Right-click the ringtone and select "Delete."
    12. Click on the "Keep Files" button.
    13. Find the file. It's usually in your User folder under "Music > iTunes > iTunes Music" and under the band's name. It will have an extension of m4a.
    14. Replace the m4a extension of your ringtone with m4r. You can either double-click slowly to rename your file, or right-click and select "Get Info" on a Mac or "Rename" on a Windows PC.
    15. Click "Use .m4r" or the PC equivalent when the system warns you that the change may affect the use of your file.
    16. Double-click the ringtone file. ITunes will automatically add it to your ringtones folder in your iTunes Music Library.
    17. Connect your iPhone and sync your ringtones.
    Oh, also to change a file extension. (not sure on Mac), but in Windows you need to go to "control panel" select "folder options". You need to uncheck the box "hide file extension for known file types". This will allow you to view and change the files extensions.
    Hope this is useful ...

  • Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

    Is there any way to sync notes from iPhone 4 to MacBook Pro?

    If the phone doesn't power on and isn't seen by the computer then you wouldn't be able to pull data off it with the USB connection to your computer.
    You could pursue data recovery if the notes are very valuable, but the cost can be similar to having data recovered from a failed computer drive(possibly prohibitively expensive).
