Lost iphone notes

After syncing my iphone my notes have all disappeared. I didn't notice right away so I synced again later. Does that mean they are gone forever? I'm afraid I missed my opportunity to restore.

If you are syncing to a PC they may be gone. You don't mention what system you are syncing to, however...
I don't know how it works on the Mac, but with the iPhone/PC connection, it's not really a sync. The notes content on a PC simply overwrites the notes on the iPhone.
You can create them on the PC, and then they are copied to the iPhone upon 'sync'. If have a note that is on both the PC and the iPhone, and you update the iPhone copy of the note, it will be overwritten by the (presumably older) PC copy.
This is, of course, Bad.
Based on this operation, I expect that if you have notes on the iPhone, and no notes on the PC, the 'blank' notes database will likely overwrite (effectively erasing) the notes database on the iPhone.
Are you using a Mac or PC?

Lost iPhone - Not Turned On

Hi,
I lost my iPhone a few days ago. As far as I can tell, it has yet to be turned on. Calls go right to voice mail. Does this mean it has yet to be reset or jail broken or somehow wiped and resold to someone else?
I don't know how it works when someone finds a phone and decides to use it for themselves or sell it to someone else. It does have the screen locked, so you need a password to get into it once turned on.
How do these things work?
Thanks in advance

If your phone is turned off or restored, there is no way to locate it. Contact your carrier, see if they offer blacklisting, if so, that will prevent the phone's reactivation, but not locate it. Even though you passcode protected the phone, change all of your passwords...especially your Apple ID & email.
Your phone can be restored, in iTunes, then used by whoever found it or sold to an unsuspecting buyer. If blacklisted, it will most likely be shipped out of the country, hacked if carrier locked, then re-sold.

HELP I need to retrieve lost iPhone notes

I accidentally deleted some notes from my mail app that where put there from my iPhone. Before I discovered my mistake I had synced the phone and the notes are gone from both the phone and my mail app and they are not in mails trash. Does anyone know of any way to retrieve the deleted notes? I could really use them back.

If you synced the phone after the notes were deleted, they won't be in the backup (only the last one is saved) and obviously can't be restored. There is no way to "undelete" files in an iPhone.
If the notes were in a backup, restoring the phone in iTunes using the backup would restore the notes to the phone.

I will address your second question.
First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs. If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option. Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.

My wife and I both sync our iphones on the same computer. I have lost my notes and they have appeared on my wife's iphone. How do I fix this?

My wife and I both sync our iphones on the same imac.I have lost my notes> they have then shown up on her iphone. How do I fix this please ?

You can sync as many iphones/ipods/ipads as you like to one computer/library.
Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync
Do the same with the other iphone.

Some body help me? I lost my notes, but i need recover them in my computer, no in mi iphone. I prefeer in Spanish...sorry

some body help me? I lost my notes, but i need recover them in my computer, no in my iphone. I prefeer in Spanish...sorry, well I don´t lost,, I have a backup in the pc, but I don´t know how recover.

If you backed up your phone to your computer, your backup should contain your notes. To recover them, you will have to restore your phone to the entire backup. To restore to your backup, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, then click on Restore Backup under Manually Back Up and Restore.
Google Translate:
Si usted copia de seguridad de su teléfono al ordenador, la copia de seguridad debe contener las notas. Para recuperarlos, tendrás que restaurar el teléfono a la copia de seguridad completa. Para restaurar la copia de seguridad, conecte el teléfono al ordenador, abre iTunes, haz clic en el nombre de su teléfono, vaya a la pestaña Resumen de la configuración de sincronización de iTunes, a continuación, haga clic en Restaurar copia de seguridad bajo manualmente una copia de seguridad y restauración.

After migrating a new Mac Book Pro from Time Capsule, I noticed that I lost a group of Favorites on the older iMac. The puzzling thing is that the Favorites are on my iPhone--not the old iMac or the new Mac Book Pro. How do I get the Favorites back?

If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.

Lost all notes on iphone Notes.

Lost all iphone Notes ( maybe after I changed the itunes setting - "Sync Notes" to unchecked.) Is that the reason why and how can I recover the notes ?

Wow, this is a serious problem. I'm a new iPhone 4 user, and I had created several Notes over the last four weeks since I purchased the phone. Yesterday I was in Notes, and suddenly, the file I was editing, as well as ALL my other notes, disappeared. Gone. The one I was adding to at length when this happened had some important information - so taking a backup is not an answer if you're losing your edits as you go. And in any event, why does it wipe them out?!
Looking at discussions, this is an ongoing bug that's been around at least since March 2010. Anyone have any word on when Apple will address it? This is extremely upsetting, and is the worse kind of bug - one that randomly deletes saved data.
Thanks.

HT4191 I lost my Notes on my iPhone 4S. I had them and all of a sudden there are no Notes on my phone. It happened when I was backing up my husband's phone to our laptop. How do I get them back?

I posted this almost a month ago, I'm surpirsed noone else had had this issue...
I don't sync that often (yeah, I know, crusify me), but tonight I went to synchronise again and I got a different photo that wont come over....
In addition to the above:
- the photos are taken with the same camera, on the same date and time as other photos around it...
So "why is it now no longer compatible with iphone4?"????
If I unsync a photo, it just gives me a new photo it can't sync.
Can anyone tell me how to find ALL the photos it can't sync? This is a serious deficiency of iphoto/itunes/sync with iphone...

HT4865 What do i do to find my lost iphone? I did not install find my iphone app

I would like to know how to find my lost iphone using icloud. I did not intall find my iphone app. It is an iphone 4 and the version was ios 5

Can you explain what you mean by "partitioned an external drive to my mac intel"?
If you repartition a drive, that will always erase the whole drive. Is that what you did? Did you use Disk Utility, or something else? Disk Utility does say "To erase and repartition the disk..." so it does warn you what will happen.

We have three iPhones but one Apple ID because I pay for the acct whenever we buy Apps or music. However, it's frustrating that when we share iCloud it merges our notes and contacts even if we say "DO NOT MERGE." I've also lost my notes but could not recover them even if I did a restore.

You can share the same iTunes ID on all your devices and still have different iCloud accounts with different IDs on them. The ID you use for iTunes does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud.
If you want to migrate your devices to separate accounts, on the devices that will be moving save any photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. Also email any synced notes to yourself so you can recreate them in the new account. Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud, go to the iWork app settings and turn off iCloud syncing.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Once the phones are all on separate accounts you can then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want from each account.
