My 3 kids have itouches, i have an iphone 4 and an ipad. i just lost all my notes on my ipad and iphone. i synced both to my mac but i can't find them anywhere...advice?

i synced both to my mac to see if they would come back and they do not. i looked at other forums and most of the people that had success getting them back used gmail. I do not. My email is verizon. The only notes that were on there before the sync were 2 short notes that look like they could have been from one of my kids (although they all deny they belong to them of course). now after the sync there are 4 notes all from december or this past sunday but the other 20 or so notes are nowhere to be seen. I suppose part of the problem could be that i really don't understand the icloud. I am really struggling to figure out how to use it. the other day i synced my ipad (because i usually enter all my calendar dates on there and they were not syncing to my iphone via the icloud and now i have duplicates of a bunch of calendar events. i am getting so frustrated. Any advice welcome. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
True by my description it would seem I sent them nowhere, but ten minutes later after turning on and off Contacts in the Cloud I got most of them.
I have the most recent one I added about 4 days ago but I'm missing some here and there.
I logged in with my Apple ID and it's the only one I've ever used.
Still a little weird.
I have synced my contacts with iTunes but not very recently.
I now have learned to do it often!
As far as I can tell there's no rhyme or reason for my missing contacts.
It's odd I would have most, but not all. So I must have uploaded something since I have some of my recent adds that were after my last sync with iTunes.

I lost my iPhone and I was hoping that my photos were being saved to iCloud, but I can't find them anywhere. I read that iCloud saves them for thirty days, but where?

You are referring to Photo Stream. Photo Stream syncs the photos taken with your device to all of your device.
It's not a photo storage service, so photos are deleted 30 days after being added to Photo Stream. You can't access to your Photo Stream photos from http://www.icloud.com, but only from an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (using the Photos app), Mac (using iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion) or PC (with iCloud Control Panel).
In all of these devices, you have the option of copying them to the device, so they will be kept after 30 days

I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and before I delete my old phone, I want to make sure all my photos were in icloud, but I can't find them anywhere. Why? I know it may take weeks to download my 14,000 pics, but I want to make sure they're there.

Extract the photos from the phone to your computer like you would with any other digital camera.
PhotoStream is NOT permanent storage and iCloud photos is in beta, meaning it's not fully cooked yet and you may lose data stored in it.

I downloaded add ons but I can't find them anywhere

So where would I find them or how do I use the addons I downloaded

If you installed from the Add-ons site, you should find those add-ons listed here:
menu > Tools > Add-ons
If you tap an individual add-on, it might have options. Otherwise, you could check whether the add-on added itself to the menu somewhere. If it doesn't show up anywhere in the menus, maybe it has some other UI? For example, Ghostery displays a ghost icon over the page.
If you can't find it anywhere, do you want to mention which add-on(s) you're trying to use?

Storage says I have 15gb of movies, but I can't find them anywhere!? Any Help?

Hey anyone and everyone.
So I went to my 'About this Mac' tab, 'More Info', 'Storage' and for some reason it is saying I am using 15gb on movies. The only thing is I cannot find any movies or files that look like movies at all on my mac.
Now I did have some videos from my gopro but moved them off to an external. So i thought that would fix things, but still says I am using a ton of space on movies.
Could someone please tell me where to look, or how to find them, so I can move them to the external hardrive!
Any help would be great for sure!
Thanks
Aaron

search for the file extension like .mov
likely they are gone and OS X is lying to you like it does with reporting drive size contents.

I migrated all of my photos from my PC to my mac but I can't find them on my laptop!?

Hi
I hope someone can help me. It took hours on end to successfully migrate my photos and documents from my Windows PC to my new MacBook. (I'm a professional photographer)
When The Migration Assistant was completed, I closed the window and went to my documents and... cannot find ANY of the files that I migrated over? The instructions said something along the lines of I'd find all of my files and documents where I'd expect to... um... I can't find ANY!
Please help
Thank you

How did you do your migration? Did you follow Apple support article and check help menu for tips?
Note: This process will create a new user account on your Mac to contain the Windows PC information that is migrated over. It will not merge the information with an existing user account on the Mac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
Before you did so, did you use Windows Easy Transfer? do you have your files on external or on a drive you can connect?
The best utility driver to mount PC NTFS drivers comes from Paragon-Software.
Apple only has read only support and more limited as well.

I have some loops from acid 5 which I have dragged in a folder to the loop browser. Some of them retain the folder name in the View: and some don't. I have had some that seem to go in but I can't find them. Where should I look?

I have some loops from acid 5 which I have dragged in a folder to the loop browser. Some of them retain the folder name in the View: and some don't. I have also had some that seem to go in but I can't find them. If I try to add them again, I get a msg that they are already there. Where should I look?

It may be best to recreate the folder and the smart playlists from scratch.

Does anybody know if Windows 8 is causing a problem with iTunes? Many songs on my old iPod are now missing in my iTunes library and I can't find them anywhere. Also, I have a new iPod and am afraid of using it for fear of something else going wrong.

Inbox says I have unread messages but I can't find them

My inbox says I have 45 unread messages (and the number gets higher every day) but I can't find them. I have gone through all my emails but everything has been read. How do I fix this?

This was driving me crazy as well. Here is how I solved it:
1. Right click on Inbox and Mark all as read
2. Go to each subfolder and Mark All Read
3. Run outlook.exe /cleanviews (enter it in Start panel to run this command)
4. Close Outlook and restart as Administrator
5. Again Mark all read (repeat in subfolders)
6. Close and restart normally
The unread count disappeared. No clue where this ghostly email resided, but given that I checked
all subfolders, I feel ok that I did not miss anything. Be sure to check your rules too, in case you are moving incoming messages and don't remember setting up such a rule.
Good luck!

Did you ever restore your last iCloud backup? That contains you camera roll photos & videos, text messages, app data, settings, etc. It will also redownload your apps and other purchased media.
If you didn't, follow the steps in this article to restore the backup: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.

Had to uninstall iWork trial since I bought the pages app and it wouldn't let me print or save. Now the app store says I have pages installed but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it. I'm not very computer savvy and am getting frustrated!

Ooops, guess I didn't need to post everything in the title - sorry! I bought the pages app - but couldn't save or print so with some online searching found that I had to uninstall the iWork trial which had expired. I did that - but now I can't figure out how to re-install the pages app!! The app store says it's installed, but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it. I'm not very computer savvy - and am a first time Mac user and am getting extremely frustrated! I e-mailed some help center and they can't seem to help me either. I would appreciate any help/advice that can fix my problem - thanks in advance!!

OK Apple has stuffed up the demo version upgrade process so the first thing you need to do is get rid of the demo.
That includes getting rid of the files in the system.
The instructions how to do that are here:
Note That where you see / that is the sequence of folders, each nested inside each other.
User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Keynote.plist
Means the User (you, the little home icon, whatever you are called on your computer) then the Library folder inside that and then the Preferences folder inside that.
Lion initially hides the System folders from you so you have to go to the Finder > Menu > hold down the option key and click on GO > Library to see it.

When i right click on my ichat i see old ichat convos i want them gone. the only way i found to do this is by deleating the ichat.plist but i can't find it anywhere

i want them gone. the only way i found to do this is by deleating the ichat.plist but i can't find it anywhere. i have gone through all the plist in preferences and its not there i want these convos gone

Hi,
Go to the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder and type in ~/Library/Preferences
This will open the Preferences in the Home Folder's Library.
In Lion this Library is Hidden and you cannot Click you way there.
Delete the com.apple.ichat.plist and it's associated .lockfile (Drag to Trash>
Restart iChat.
I am presuming Lion from what you say despite your specs saying Snow Leopard.

I dragged and dropped files to my time capsule from my laptop but now I cannot find them anywhere on there... Please help

I dragged and dropped files to my time capsule from my laptop but now I cannot find them anywhere on the time capsule... Please help I no longer have that laptop. All it is showing is time machine backups.

Open Macintosh HD and look for your Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading on the left side of the window.
Click on the Time Capsule icon and folder will appear to the right representing your drive
Double click the folder to reveal the contents
You should see a xxxxxx.sparsebundle file for each computer that is backing up and the files that you dropped onto the Time Capsule from the other computer. Leave these files alone.
If you do not see the other files, unfortunately, they are not there.

I rented a movie a few hours ago and never finished it. I can't view it on my Apple TV nor on my Computer. When I go to rent it again it says you have already rented this movie, but I can't find it anywhere. How do I watch the remainder of the rental?

I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.
