My notes are disappearing on my iphone 4S

Can't figure out why my notes are disappearing on my iphone 4S

I just had a note vanish before my eyes...
I opened the app, was viewing the note, and it just went away...and is no longer listed with the other notes...
Not the first time this new iPhone 5 has randomly disgarded notes from my notes app...very frustrating...
All the old notes made with my previous iPhone 4 are still there after being carried over from the upgrade...

Apps are disappearing off my iPhone and I can't get them back.

Hi, apps are disappearing off my iPhone and I can't get them back. Spotify, Shazam, BBC iPlayer and the Maps app have just gone. I have tried to redownload them from the App Store but there isn't the option, cant get them back with iTunes either. Help!

I wish it was as simple as that. I have tried to redownload them but they are marked as installed.
I have even gone into iTunes and in the app tab untucked the disappeared apps, synced, then reticked the apps. This is where the strangest thing happens, the app appears on my iPhone, the progress bar goes from zero to the top, then, when the app should be installed, it disappears.
So far Spotify, BBC iPlayer, the Maps app, iFooty, and probably some apps I'm not aware of are affected.
Interestingly, the apps have also gone from my wife's iPhone which is on the same Apple I'd, but they haven't gone from my iPad which is also on the same Apple I'd.

My notes section disappeared from my iPhone! up. Help!

My notes section disappeared from my iPhone! I deleted an email account but it was a duplicate of one I already had set up. Help! My baby girls milestone events were put there as I prepared to put them in her baby book! My iCloud hasn't backed up in a while because I ran out of space...

Try going into Notes, then tap Accounts at the top left, and then tap All Notes. You can also try going into all of your email account settings and make sure Notes are switched on for all (green side showing).

My Notes mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone

My notes mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone 4S - where did they go?
I have not synced. But if I did, where would they be on my computer?

My songs are disappearing from my iphone

For some reason when I plugged in my iphone the other day half the songs had exclamation points in itunes and were gone from the phone. so i spent a while fixing all the tracks i lost. on next plug in to sync it happened again, this time every song had exclamation points and wont play on iphone. I may have changed a setting without realizing it. can i undo this? my 2500 songs are still showing in itunes but my external HD has over 10000 songs on it. i dont want all of those on my phone. my 2500 took a long time to build and i dont wanna start over again. since they are still showing when i plug the phone in, there must be a way of resotring them on my iphone? please someone help me!
itunes is such a *****. never again! android so simple just drag the song onto phone folders and thats it! itunes is very sensitive to any setting being changed it throws everything off. i am really frustrated i hope its an easy fix. thanks for help guys

Further to that, I should mention that when I plug it into itunes now, it shows that there are songs on my phone (with the ! next to them) that I have long sing deleted manually from the phone ... why are they suddenly showing up now? And they're not all songs that I purchased through itunes, many are my own songs from mp3s. I know itunes will sometimes show greyed out songs that aren't actually on the phone, but these aren't greyed out, just with a ! next to them.
I'd say at least 300 songs have the ! next to them now and have disappeared from my iphone in the last day. All I've found is that the ! means that itunes can't find the source file for the songs, but why would that be a problem when I am actually looking at the device on itunes ... I don't actually use itunes to play music on my computer and the source is always the phone, that and I manually manage my music on my phone, so it doesn't try to automatically sync with a particular folder.
So I'm really confused why some songs are effected by this and others aren't, I mean I can delete the songs with the ! and readd them and they show up on my phone again, but who's to say they just won't delete themselves in a day or so again like before.

Why my new notes are disappearing ?

Any changes to the notes in the notes app is gone after the app is closed .
I have noticed that my notes are 30 , And they do not want to change !
Any new notes are gone , any changes to the current notes are gone , even if i delete notes they come back again .
Are these 30 notes part of my destiny ??!!!
I have checked more than one time , my notes are not synced with anything , i do not connect my iphone to my laptop ( itunes ).
This happened with me before when i was on iOS 4 , but at that time it was synced with my Yahoo! account , now it is not .
I used to depend on notes for important information , now i do not , can i depend on my notes app ??

I have been having the same problems. However, after I create a note (and sometimes waiting a few minutes) I can do a search in All Mailboxes for Entire Message and find the notes I created and saved that never got placed into the right notes folder in the sidebar. They exist, but somehow the program doesn't understand how to save it to the proper channels (or how to properly retrieve the data from within the notes folders), because the weird thing is, the search indicates that the Mailbox is indeed the place I originally tried to save it to (i.e. "Notes - mymailaccountname").
Also, my notes folders (On my Mac and my email account) disappears from the sidebar probably because it doesn't see anything to retrieve, but opens back up again when I create a new note. Doesn't always work, and I've been able to achieve this by setting the location of where to save notes in preferences (Mail Preferences > Composing > Create notes and to dos in: ____). Not much help if the folder pops back up but still doesn't grab all your original notes. Moving notes found from search into one of the folders has proved successful for me, but since Notes is so unstable, I don't use it to store anything anymore. This is a bummer because I want to use all Mac apps instead of 3rd party ones if I can. Currently I use http://simplenoteapp.com/ because it's lightweight and syncs across the cloud (iPhone app, website access, and there's even a dashboard widget) and it's free!
There's a known issue with Safari 4 and new notes explained on this thread: http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7454146, but this doesn't resolve the problem for users who want the latest Safari browser, and notes to work properly.
Hopefully there will be an OSX update when iPhone OS 4 pushes out. I believe there's supposed to be note syncing on the iPhone again, so we'll see if they addressed this particular issue with Mail.

I had about 20 Notes mysteriously disappear from my iPhone 5.

I recently had most of my notes mysteriously disappear. The only notes that remain on my phone are over 3 years old. Trust me, I did not delete them. I have tried recovery software with no luck. A couple of the notes were business related and were my auto mileage records. Is there any way to recover the lost notes?

Are you syncing with Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, Gmail, etc. If so, which one.

Is there any way to recover a note that disappeared on my iPhone and iPad?

You can restore from your iTune or iCloud backup if you have one.

Notes & Contacts disappeared from my iPhone

All my notes disappeared from my notes app & half of my contacts diasappeared, too! What happened to them, can I get them back? I've checked my email and apparently my notes stopped synching 10 days prior to all of this! Please Help, I have a ton of information gone missing! :(

you have notes in outlook and your trying to move them to the phone and you have the itunes preference set under devices/info to sync notes with outlook and hit applY? if all these settings are correct and your using 2003/2007 outlook try resetting sync history (edit/pref/devices in itunes) also try making sure itunes is up to date... try syncing a new note in a new user on computer to phone (see if its content error) and if still having problems on new user i'd uninstall and re-install itunes.

HT1688 My notes are disappearing

Various notes have been disappearing - seemingly at random. I have all cloud preferences turned on. I sync my phone occassionally by wire. I use apple as my email server. (.mac). Where are my notes? Can I retrieve them? I've seen the comments about yahoo and gmail, but this is unrelated since I don't use those.

If you share your apple ID (and thereby your iCloud) with someone else and you both use iCloud, then when they delete something from their device it will delete from yours.
Also, if you are using iCloud and delete a note from one device that you use, it will delete from the other as well.

My notes are disappearing?

Hello!
I have an iphone 4s and i have a lot of important notes. randomly, a very important note is GONE. My phone didnt even crash. I really really need to get this back. Someone help!!!

Default account of icloud could mean that you had another email (yahoo/etc) with which you were syncing notes, and that account is no longer enabled or properly configured.
If this is the case, we simply need to add that account back, re-enable it, or turn notes sync back on.
It could also mean you have always used icloud for notes, in which case you need to check Settings>iCloud to ensure the notes switch is on. If it is already, try toggling it off and back on. If still no luck, try signing out of iCloud and back in.
Please do reply with results/questions.

All my contact are disappear from my iphone 4s

all my contact are deleted form my iphone

It could be something with your iCloud. Go to iCloud.com, sign in, and see if your contacts are there. If they are, then try going into Settings > iCloud and turning off Contacts, restart your phone, then turning Contacts back on again. If that doesn't work, delete your iCloud account from your phone, and add your iCloud account back on. If THAT doesn't work, go to settings > reset > reset network settings, reconnect to your wifi network, and that should do it.

Why are my notes disappearing from my iphone

Some of my notes have disappeared from my iPhone 5S. I noticed a while back on my old 4S. I spent about 3 hours at the Apple store trying to fix this. But it was a waste of time. My notes are backed up to my iCloud and yahoo so I still have them. This apparently is a common problem because there are a lot of folks asking the same question. The same answer that I have seen is how to retrieve them. That isn't a solution. Why is this happening and what needs to be done to keep it from happening. This is a very useful app but it is no good when it continues to lose my notes. Same thing is happening with my wife's 5S too!

Yahoo is holding Notes as hostage. Check your Yahoo account settings.

Problem with Notes from Mail synching to Iphone, Ipad

I use Mobile Me. Notes are correctly synching from iphone to MAC..
but NOT synching from MAC to Iphone and Ipad..
THey used to work until a few weeks ago
Thanks

That's just a difference in how Outlook interprets email characters from the Mac. You shouldn't rely on using tabs for spacing, since you can never be sure if any of the text will align correctly in the recipient's email program. A better option is to use a monospaced font and plain text formatting.

When I updated to the new version for the IPhone and selected ICloud for backup location, my Notes have disappeared and you are no longer on my Desktop either. Where did they go?

When I installed iOS5 on my IPhone4 and selected ICloud for my storage location, all my Notes disappeared off my IPhone & Desktop. Where are they?

There must be a big pile of notes somewhere cause the same thing happened to me. If you find them let me know.
