Iphone 4a restore lost notes

Recently while traveling in the US I used a US sim card. When I opened Notes, it was empty. I assumed it would restore when I replaced my Australian sim, but it did not. I have the phone backed up to an external hd using Time Machine. Is there a way to get my old notes back?

I got a response from Thind 1988 in an email, but it's not showing here and when I clicked on Answered, I got a page that said I'm not authorised. So I just wanted to say thank you to Thind 1988.
Unfortunately, the notes I lost were not worth the price of the programs to extract them. I'm still thinking about whether it's worth a complete restore.
Thanks again.

  • HT1766 how to restore lost notes

    how can i restore lost note on my ipad and iphone?

    Suggest you let iCloud automatically back your iPad daily.

  • Restore lost notes on iPhone for free??

    I accidentally deleted one of my "notes" on my iPhone 5 and need to restore it.  I dont' backup to iTunes but I do sync to iCloud hourly.  A retrieval service wants me to download and pay $99 for this retrieval but I have to believe iCloud would have a free way for me to get a file that was just backedup a few hours ago!!  Right??  How can I do this for free??

    Do you have a backup on your computer? If so just get a backup extractor program like iScavange (which is free).
    I'm not sure what you mean by hourly; iCloud sync is continuous in real time. Unless you mean you back up to iCloud hourly (which sounds unlikely).
    You cannot get a single datum from the iCloud backup, but you can restore the most recent backup. It will overwrite everything on your phone, however.
    Note that a retrieval service cannot get a item out of iCloud either; they would take your money and you would get nothing.

  • Restore lost Notes

    In a recovery from lost bookmarks, I had to PUSH a replacement set to the iPad (USB connect to my Pro). The "notes" seemed to push as well - replacing my active notes with some old notes from my pro.
    Is there ANY way to restore or recover my notes? Are they in a "trash" area? Is there a way to "go behind" the interface and find these "trashed" notes in some suspense area?
    Related - the terms "backup" and "restore are misleading on iTunes.
    Only the settings are backed up, right? if not then how do I recover (thinking my old notes might be there).
    The "Restore" is restore to the FACTORY SETTINGS - should say so.
    Thank yo for helping - especially if you have some ideas for recovery of my notes.
    One last thing - there is a PUSH of items TO the iPad (and iPhone) - but nothing the other way.
    DON'T tell me "sync" will do that - DON'T GET ME STARTED (as Krusty says)

    From what I can see Notes are now stored in a hidden folder. Even when you find them in Time Machine they are not recoverable. Send Apple feedback http://www.apple.com/feedback/ . This bug should be fixed as soon as possible.
    Read https://discussions.apple.com/message/19171700#19171700 for info on where they are now stored. To open your Library folder open a Finder window then click the Go menu pressing the Option key on the keyboard to make Library appear.
    Notes should be recoverable by entering Time Machine with the Note app open as other apps work. When I open the folder mentioned in the thread then open Time Machine all deleted and modified Notes get marked as "(Null)" and contain no data.

  • Iphone 3 Restore - Lost Data

    Hi - I was forced to restore my Iphone 3... (its not what I wanted to do, but that's irrelevant now)... and I lost Email Drafts.
    Everything else seems to be there.
    Two Questions - Is there a way to recover my Draft Emails from my Iphone......
    Secondly - where are Iphone Backups stored on your Macbook? I backup my phone all the time, but I would not know how to access it.
    thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your reply, but it does seem possible to do it bit by bit if I use this piece of software. I have managed to locate all my photos and sound recordings using back up extractor. However I would like to restore my apps and their data. I just don't know how to do this.
    I can extract the files for each app individually, so for example Angry Birds, I have a documents and a library folder. The library folder has cookies and preferences, the documents folder has lots of files for example, 2010-12-01.lua which I am guessing are for each of the levels I have done completed. How can I get these back on the phone?

  • How to restore lost notes

    Any help on an iPhone Notes glitch that just erased valuable Notes?  It kept 3 old Notes and erased 4 new Notes.
    I was just getting used to this and now the rug is swept from under me :(

    Let me add to my own comments... If this is a fr€^king sync issue then there should be some restoration function, right?  How the H. can any software or program update itself and not be able to restore?  I'm no techie but Apple should be held accountable for this sloppy performance.

  • IPhone 3GS restore did not include text messages?

    I went out to buy a new iPhone 3GS today. Yesterday I backed up my 3G, but when I restored from that backup- everything was there except text messages. All contents of the Phone and Mail applications are restored, but the Messages app has nothing... No convos saved at all.
    Is this abnormal? If so, is there a way besides "trying restore again" (since I've already done a full sync and don't want to undo it all) of salvaging my conversations?
    Thanks

    The way I read this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    it should have backed up SMS messages. Something to keep in mind though (from that article)
    "iTunes only keeps one backup created during the sync process for each device. If you restore the iPhone or iPod touch and choose to set up as a new device from the Set Up your iPhone / iPod touch screen, iTunes will automatically sync and create a new, empty backup that will replace your previous backup. If you change your mind and want to restore to your previous state, you will have to retrieve your previous device backup from Time Machine (on your Mac), or other back up solution you regularly use."

  • I have one icloud account sync with two devices. I made a note on my iphone. Suddenly it lost and all i see is note from my ipad. Is there any way to restore the note? Help me pls. Thanks.

    Please help me as my note from iphone lost when it sync with another device. How can i restore back the note?

    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.

    You can't view your back up files at icloud.com.
    You can't view your camera roll and you can't view your Photo Stream files at icloud.com.
    The icloud back up plan allows you to "restore" your iOS device from the files you backed up at icloud.com.

    How do I restore my notes on my iPhone?
    I'm not sure when or what happened, but my notes are all gone. How can I get them back?

    If you don't have a backup then you can restore it which means you've lost if forever. however if you do have a back-up, then connect your iPhone to iTunes and restore your phone.
