I've lost old notes in iCloud

I only back up my devises to icloud and I've lost old notes. Do old notes expire or is there a maximum number of notes that can be stored. I dont back up to my computer / itunes
so i cant retrieve from any archive.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's not clear if notes are part of your back up, but if they are, the back up will contain the same notes you had on your device at the time it was backed up, iCloud back up keeps the last 3 back ups.

HT204053 Can I get my old notes from icloud

I had notes on my iPad but when I upgraded to the iPad mini they were lost
Are they still in the cloud?
Can I restore them?

Not if they're not on icloud.com when you check from your computer. If they are, sign into your account in Settings>iCloud and turn Notes to On.

Lost valuable Notes via iCloud sync

I have the yellow "Notes" app on my iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air (Mountain Lion GM).
Today I added very valuable ideas to one of my notes. When I arrived home, I found out that I lost all of them, because iCloud synced an older version.
I lost my confidence in this VERY usefull app.
Is there any way to get those notes back?

Worse still: the new iTunes will has discontinued to sync notes from MS Outlook with standard iTunes sync (wired or wireless)
Try Evernotes, or another 3rd party app.

How can I sync my old notes using ICloud?

I have activated Icloud for syncing my notes but the older notes i took when i didnt have icloud activitated dont get synchronized. How can I save them?

A SIM card is not required for syncing an iPhone, and syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer is a true sync process. Any contacts on your iPhone that are not in the address book app on your computer will be placed in the address book app on your computer and vice-versa.

I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

Unless you'd signed up to iTunes Match then they won't be in the Cloud, only music purchased from iTunes (if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded) will be there. Have you not still got it on your computer and/or on a backup which you can use to sync it back to the iPad ?

I lost my Ipod and Icloud is not activated. How can I track it without Icloud activate

You can't. You will have to retrace your steps and look the old-fashioned way.

I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes. Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

Is this the note you are referring to:
Not sure if this can help you.
I checked my notes. They are stored here:
MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.
Thanks

My old appleID use email with domain already deactivate. So I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud with iOS7. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

My old email that using register for apple ID cannot access/check any mail because that domain already deactivate.

Hi ccharat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

I Changed my ISP and therefore changed my email address, which caused me to change my appleID. I had no problems making the changes to my appleID but now I am having problems with iCloud. My old ID is still showing as my iCloud ID and I can not see where or how to change this. I keep getting an annoying pop up box to enter the password for my OLD appleID as well as error messages that I can't back up to iCloud.
CAn someone please tell me how I can fix this so my iCloud works.
THank you!!!!!

Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

ICloud account reset by Apple. Lost my notes. - Aka: Apple, what are you doing to your customers?

Hi.
I am very disappointed. I connected my iPhone two days ago and I discovered my notes weren't there anymore.
Ok, I thought, I have a backup. But nope, there was a single backup dated: Today.
No old notes.
I called Apple and they told me there was nothing to do. I went to iCloud and my account disappeared. There was a box saying 'Connect a device to start using iCloud'.
What?
I called Apple again. I'm using iCloud as a backup for my notes since February, but unfortunately I didn't know notes were so risky to handle.. I didn't loose anything but those.. but they were really, really important! They just say to me to control my iCloud account on my Mac. It was off.
What?
I never turned it off, madam, I say. She keeps telling me she can't do anything. I then connect my Mac on her suggestion and.. voilà, suddendly also my iPhone gets back into the iCloud account. I ask: okay, if my iphone was connected, why iCloud wasn't showing it before like it has always been doing?
Why iCloud was asking me to add a device and then when I add one suddendly every device I had in iCloud appears again back on their place?
She doesn't know. She can't help me anymore further.
I say I want to talk to a higher level but she says she's the highest.
I want to know why my iCloud account has been reset, madam. Apple must give me an answer for this.
She said she's gonna talk with some engineer and let me know.
No answer so far.
Is there a way to access the iCloud SERVER backup [not mine on my computer] of the 3rd of April through some Apple super-engineer or super-boss or superwhatever and have the notes Apple DID loose?
Or I should just call a lawyer and find the way to force Apple do it before that backup is overwritten?

Unfortunately, Apple will not help.
I have attempted to get resolution to my icloud problems and they just give me the runaround that their engineers are investigating.
They probably dont know how to fix icloud and are just stringing us along!
Probably the worst service i've ever gotten!
Icloud is a failure, which Apple is unable to fix!

HT201317 New phone: lost old phone in a fire. How can I access my photos on iCloud from my old phone? In settings I see the storage for BOTH phones. They are separate but same account. Can I access iCloud through PC or is the info now useless since phone

New phone: lost old phone in a fire. How can I access my photos on iCloud from my old phone? In settings I see the storage for BOTH phones. They are separate but same account. Can I access iCloud through PC or is the info now useless since phone is gone?

What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!

HT5824 I lost a note in on my phone and it is not in icloud can I retrieve it?

I lost a note on my iphone and it is not included in icloud..... can I retrieve it anywhere else?

Thats because you have selected to sync the pictures too in your iTunes library. You won't be able to delete these from iPhone. You will have to uncheck it under iTunes, under sync options. Or remove the pictures folder there, or move all the pictures from that folder to other location, and sync again, the pictures from your iPhone then will be gone.
