Is there a way to confirm iPad Notes are backed up after a sync?

I'm skeptical that everything on my iPad is backed up to my new MacBook Air because I have been getting that stupid common error message ever since I first connected the two, about iPad being synced to another iTunes library already and if I want to erase iPad and replace with current iTunes. I did have it synced to a Windows laptop before which no longer works.
I did a "Find" search on MacBook for "iPad" and "Notes" but nothing coming up. I thought for sure there was a folder I found on my old laptop that showed names of things backed up from iPad, maybe not though. I have v4.3.3 on iPad and want to get 4.3.5 but not until I know it's is all backed up, I have a lot of info in Notes that I don't want to lose.
I did get apps and photos to transfer over to the new MacBook in two separate syncs by themselves, then was able to do what appeared to be a complete sync. The weird thing is it goes through motions of syncing and appears everything was backed up, and that summary of everything (except Notes specifically) appears in Macbook iTunes when the iPad is plugged in. But, I still get that same error message every time I plug the two together, so it's confusing.
Thanks

I'm not sure that the content of a backup is readable - I did try looking for a word that I know is in one of my notes yesterday and couldn't find it in the backup folder even though Notes should be backed up (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079). The location of the backup is :
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
None of my notes have been lost on any updates that I've done on my iPad, but if there are any that you definitely can't lose then you should probably copy/email them to yourself just to be on the safe side.

  • Trying to backup an iPhone 3gs so we can update the iOS. Old computer does not appear to back up contacts and notes (there are many). Is there a way to make sure they are backed up?

    Also, everytime we sync, emails delete from the iPhone. We don't want them to. Is there a setting to prevent this from happening?

    Contacts are not part of the backup. Those should be synced with a compatible address book on your computer. Notes can sync with a mail account.
    No idea what you mean about emails deleting from the phone when you sync. E-mail messages are not synced with anything but the mail server. Only account information is synced.

    Ah, well, then the notes are probably gone. Did you save any of the email from that account on your computer? The notes might be there if you did.

    If the deleted note was on your iPad when you last backed it up to iCloud, with some effort you could restore it from your backup by following Winston Churchill's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22600445#22600445.

    Do you have a back up?
    If not you're into using file recovery software like  File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

  • Is there any way for my ipad to piggyback the internet from my iphone when i am not in a wifi area... The guy at the ATT

    Is there any way for my ipad to piggyback the internet from my iphone without having to purchase a "plan" from ATT&T....The guy at the store said that I had to purchase a new plan with "so much" GB per month and loose my unlimited amount that I am grandfathered into with my current plan... any thoughts?

    Unfortuneatly, you would have to give up your unlimited plan. In the US you would have to get the 2GB plan for $25 and add the teathering plan for $20 more.  The teathering plan would give you another 2GB of data for a total 4GB.

        lisan1234,
    I am sorry to hear about the screen issues. To clarify, do you only notice the screen proportion difference when in a certain application? By to long or wide are you stating that parts of the screen images are cut off? Please provide details

    Is there any way on an iPad Air to see your dictation as you speak

    You can use the built in Siri voice functions in many text apps, (Notability is good) to have it type as you speak, also Dragon Dictation is available in app store and uses its own method rather than Siri.

    My wife's uncle has an iPad Air running iOS 8.  In Reminders, he would like the dictation to spell the word 'Lourdes Hospital' rather than 'Lords hospital'.  Is there a way to make this happen?  If there is, is there a way to make iPad (in Reminders) remember this spelling for future dictation?

    With iOS 5 later this year there will be some basic editing in the Photos app - from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Crop, rotate, enhance, and remove red-eye without leaving the Photos app. Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device.
    Otherwise there are number of apps available in the store e.g. Adobe Photoshop Express http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-photoshop-express/id331975235?mt=8 which is free (though you can mak in-app purchases)

    When you launch Safari, hold the SHIFT key.

  • Is there a way to upgrade IPad 1 to iOS 6?

    My iPad 1 running on iOS 5.1.1. My applications are frequently crashing. Is there a way to upgrade IPad 1 to iOS 6?

    None of us are going to argue with you, but hardware changes, and more rapidly these days. The original iPhone doesn't run very much at all, and of course it can't even run 3G. But some people are happy with it. Non-Intel Macs can't run the latest OSX.
    Apple needs to be competitive by making the fastest and most modern tablet it can, and that means within 3 or so years what I have now could be antiquated. That also means Apple has to make a decision about whether to try to force the operating system to continue to be backwards compatible which may have speed issues, for example, for those who have current hardware.
    iOS 5.1.1 is very advanced. It's only really missing a few things from iOS 6.1, some of which a LOT of people don't like. Maps is one. The loss of Google Maps is another.
    There is nothing you can do. Most Apps don't let you update if it is incompatible with your current iOS, so you should be all right.

    What do you mean nothing.
    If it shows $0.00 then that's nothing, that's zero. If it shows truely nothing then you are not logging in with an account that had store credit. Or not logging in at all.
    Click on your name so the triangle appears, then click on Account for more details.
