HT5824 i lost a note from my note pad that was backed up in icloud. how do i retrieve it?
how do i retrieve my backed up note pad info?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs. I have previously suggested ways to recover contacts, calendars etc, and other users have confirmed that they work, as such I am making the following suggestions to recover lost notes, but please note, as yet success is unconfirmed ***.
Recovering your notes is quite time consuming, you may wish not to save all your notes to save some time, if they are not of importance.
Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
Start the restore from iCloud back up.
Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
Wait for the time out confirmation.
Open the 'Notes' app, and open your first note (assuming your deleted notes have now been restored).
Select the share option at the foot of the screen (rectangle with arrow) and choose mail.
Send the email to yourself (If they won't send, save them to draft)
Repeat steps 7 & 8, until you have copied all the notes you wish to save to email.
Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
Navigate to settings > iCloud and make sure 'Notes' syncing is enabled.
Open the 'Notes' app, check that iCloud notes have reverted to how they were before starting the restore.
Open the 'Mail' app and open the first email you sent yourself and copy the text you want in the note.
Open the 'Notes' app and create a new note in the iCloud, paste the text you copied.
Go to iCloud.com on a computer and check that the note has synced to iCloud.
Repeat steps 12, 13 & 14 until you have recovered all your notes.
May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.
*** As a matter of protocol, anything that I can’t test myself will need to be confirmed by at least 5 individuals before I’m willing to accept it as confirmed. At this time only 2 individuals have confirmed it to work.

How to retrieve photos from my apple ID that was backed up by another apple ID from itunes
so i plugged in my iphone 5 to my laptop and then open itunes then suddenly it restores my mothers backup file from my computer then my photos was replaced by my mothers photos. how can i retrieve my photos again ?
The photos are on the ipod. Photo sync will erase them. I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck. They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed. -
TS4036 Is it possible to restore data from a specific app that was backed up? How?
So iCloud has backed up my application and data, great. How do I restore that specific apps data, only?
Hi Winston,
When Apple labels this all or nothing function "Reset". I agree 100%. But, without the most elementary functions, like the ability to select files and folders to be restored, iCloud is a primitive synchronization service, not a back up service.
I couldn't find any third party back up application using iCloud storage. Is it a legal issue with the license?
Thanks! -
Can I retrieve the info from my old 3gs that was backed up on my itunes acct to my new 3gs?
Can I access my itunes backed up info from my old 3gs to my new 3gs from any computer and update my new phone?
From "any" computer? No, your 3GS backup is on the last computer you synced with:

Please help I just accidentally deleted a very very important note from my "Notes" on my iPhone 4s. How can I get it back?
Is there a "Trash" file somewhere for deleted notes?
Thank you,
SusanHad you never backed up the phone before? When you saw the iTunes logo and cable, the device was in recovery mode. The data was already lost. The only way to recover from that is to restore the device, which will delete all of your data. You will only be able to restore to your last backup, whenever that was. Sorry this happened, but this highlights the importance of doing regular backups. The backup is the only protection you have against a problem like this.

Retrieving a deleted note from the "Notes" app.
Hey, I was woundering if there is anyway possible that you could retrieve a deleted note from the "Notes" app.
A very sincere note was given to my by a significant other via this app, and it was accidentally deleted.
I appriciate your timeYou could probably try restoring from a backup of the iPod Touch, but only if that backup was made before the note was deleted. Other than that, I'm afraid it's lost (unless the note was emailed, which would cause it to appear in the "Sent" folder of your mail account on the iPod).

I just deleted a note from the Notes App form my ipad3. I don't use iCloud. The only place this note was is my iPod and iPad. Is there any possible way to recover this note?????
Thanks in advanceThank you sberman, yes the first thing I did was check my iPod. Instant synching works great between the iPad and iPod, so it was deleted there as well. On both devices I have my Notes account to the same account.
I ashamedly have not synched to iTunes for ages. After I calmed down I realized that most of the info on that deleted Note I had copied and pasted from an excel file in November. I'm in the process of doing that again, and am only out the recent info. -
i have got an 4s phone and want to import my notes from my old 3G phone; does anybody has an idea how this can be done?
If you have a Mac, I know you can sync your notes with the Mail application using iTunes by going to the Info tab when you clikc on your iPhone under Devices. Other than that, you may just need to email the notes to yourself since the 3G cannot use iCloud to transfer them.

I was sent an email from a family member that was hacked that had a link and by mistake open the link, what should I do.
Spammers harvest email address from a variety of sources. Just because your family members name is on the email does not mean that your family members email was hacked. But it's a good idea you let them know you did receive that email. In the meantime do not respond to the email and delete it from your device.

Somehow my notes from my I-pad were deleted. What's a way I can retrive the notes (for free) ?
I restored from iCloud, although the Notes thing was still "off'. I only just turned it on now, so if I re-restore, will I get my Notes back?
Thanks -
I used sync to get notes from my i-pad to my computer. It apparently went to my windows 2007 but where do I find the notes on my computer?
Thank you.
Your answer led me to the notes I was seeking.
When I looked at the bottom of the left side in outlook I did not see any icon but I saw a little arrow.
When I clicked on that it I was able to specifiy that I wanted an icon for notes.
When I added the icon, I was able to click on the icon and find my notes. -
I had music on my i tunes that I deleted. When I sync my iphone the music that was deleted shows up. How do I get rid of the music I do not want on my iphone?
Connect your I-phone to i-tunes , click on music . Not the one in the library but the music that opened up when you connected to i-tunes . Highlight the complete album or songs you want deleted, then right click and delete. Once you deleted the songs off you i-phone, then click the music from the library of your i-tunes. If that same music or album is also in there then repeat what you did in the i-phone to delete . This should take it all out.
good luck -
how can i activate an ipad that was attached to someones icloud account. I am not able to reach the person to have them release it
You can't, i'm sorry. What you're running into is the activation lock and it requires that the original owner release it with their apple ID before you can set it up.

I can not print a pdf file that was sent in an email. I get an adobe error message that it can not print with an ok to check and when i do I get another adobe error message that says I did not select a page to print. I have downloaded the latest adobe download. I forwarded the email to my husband and he printed the document just fine.
This first question which comes to mind is how do you display the pdf file in the browser?
For this the browser uses a plug in (e.g. adobe reader) which already has the ability to print the pdf file. Depending on the version of your plug in, printing is started differently.

i deleted a pages doc and my time machine was NOT on. Can i get it back? if so how?
If you backed up the phone when the video was still on it, restoring the backup will get it back. However, anything new on the phone since the backup will be deleted.
