My notes disappeared! HELP!!

I use notes on my iphone to take VERY important notes for work.   I had tons of them.  Last time I synced my Iphone to my horror it delted two notes.  So I decided to back up my notes, by checking the sync box in itunes.  After I've done that I received emails on my various computers with duplicates of my notes.  This horrified me as it's confidential information and I check my email on multiple computers.  So I delted these emails form my mail program.  Next time I sync my Iphone, it deletes all my notes on my device!  COMPLETELY!  no notes left on my Iphone. 
I read online that it had something to do with me deleting the emails I received?  How could Apple invent something this stupid, to back up my notes via multiple emails?   Are my notes gone forever now?  Is there anyway to extract them from my device? 

You might have an automatic process that clears messages/notes after one month. The Sent, Junk/Spam, and Trash mailboxes all have an optional setting that deletes their contents after one month. You might have a similar scheduled event active for your Notes.
You said your notes are stored locally (On My Mac), but you might be inadvertently syncing to a server folder. There might be a scheduled process that clears folders on the server every month. You'd have to check your email account via webmail interface to check and see if you have a "Notes" folder online (that would indicate that your local Mail.app might be syncing with the remote server).

  • Some contacts have disappeared from my phone contacts. They are still in the phone because if someone calls me their name appears and if i search in text for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help

    Some contacts have disappeared from my phone. Not all just random ones. They are still in the phone because if someone (who has disappeared from my phone contacts calls me their name appears and if i search in text messages for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help!

    But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
    I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

  • Help! Single notes disappear in Notes...can't find in iCloud.

    This is weird.  A single note will disappear in Notes and I can't find it in iCloud where it is supposed to be backed up!  What gives?  I did NOTHING to make this note disappear.  I did not delete it, only made a new entry.
    This was a VERY important note that I stored information that I cannot afford to lose.
    Please, someone tell me that I can find it again...somewhere!
    By the way, this has happened before.  Just a random note, disappearing, never to be found again.
    If I can't find the lost note in iCloud, maybe I should change my sync of my Notes to Gmail?
    Thanks!

    My wife uses Notes VERY extensively and has accumulated literally thousands over the years, from recipes to lists, etc. She is a very organized person. Occasionally she'll work on a note and come back to it the next day only to find it's mysteriously disappeared. It's been a problem ever since Notes was shifted over to iCloud rather than saving locally on the iPhone or iPad. It frustrates her to no end!
    Is this a bug that Apple's aware of and just doesn't care about fixing it? It's a phenominal app when it works but it's sadly unreliable. Like I said, this only happens occasionally, maybe one out of every 15-20 new notes or so. And no, she doesn't sync notes with Yahoo or Google. Only iCloud.
    Does Apple know this is going on?

  • Why my voice memos & notes disappear?

    Suddenly to my horror today when I check my voice memos playlists most of my voice memos are gone from my iphone. I did not tweak around with my iphone or itunes. I backup my iphone regularly to my itunes PC and the voice memos are still in my itunes Library, but they are not in my iphone anymore. What's going on? And how do I transfer back the voice memos from my PC to my iphone?
    My ipad is also experiencing notes disappearing by itself in the couple of months, which I've never had a problem after years of using it. But I have a Notes Folder in my email account which still have the lost notes. I can't figure out why. Please help

    I just did, but it doesn't do anything. How do I transfer the voice memos manually from itunes to iphone?

  • Dock icons will not disappear when I drag them to desktop or trash

    On my MacBook Pro, when I drag an icon from the dock to the desktop or to trash, it bounces back to where it was on the dock. I tried to move Applescript Editor, AppleWorks 6, Keychain Access, Activity Monitor,  Quick Time Player and several more icons and they all did the same. Each icon that will not disappear, has a blue dot reflection underneath it.
    I moved one of the icons without a blue reflection to the desk top and it did go up in smoke, but as soon as i replaced that icon from finder back to the dock, it also had a blue reflection under it and I could not make it disappear again.
    If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. Thank you so much,
    Arudi

    You're only supposed to drag icons out of the Dock if you want to remove them from it; running applications won't disappear immediately but may do so when quit.
    If you're trying to put icons on the desktop, find the items in the Finder and drag them there with the Option and Command keys held down.

  • "1F" will not disappear.....

    I have what appears to be a "notification" from the facebook app that will not disappear....I constantly have the "1F" symbol on my screen....I have accessed my facebook account both via the facebook BB application and the browser to insure that nothing is marked new or left unread....and yet the indicator remains....Even pulling the battery and restarting did not reset it....any clues?
    Is this a problem with the latest version of the FB app? (I am using ver 1.7.0.18)

  • Has anyone had a note disappear suddenly?

    I have been keeping a lot of information in Notes that I used to keep in a paper Daytimer.  I thought it was great, it synced through iCloud from my iPhone to my iPad and vice versa and I could print it if there was a reason to.  So today I was recording some important information on a note that I've been keeping this data on for about six months. Suddenly, when I tapped on the screen to put the curser in a different place, the whole note disappeared. It didn't ask if I wanted to Delete like it does when you delete something on purpose. It just vanished. So I went to the list of notes and it was not there. I quickly went and got my iPad.  Luckily, I thought, at least the older information was still listed on the iPad. Then, right as I was about to send it to myself to have a copy on my computer, the iPad version of the note disappeared.  They are both just GONE. I can't imagine what happened and now I feel totally insecure about keeping any information in notes. Has anyone else had this happen?  What are your suggestions about 1) is there any possible way to retrieve that information? and 2) what should I use instead of Notes that would be more secure?  Or should I keep using it and send copies of anything important to the computer to put into a Word document so Time Machine will back it up?
    Lucy

    No, can't say I have.
    Could very well well be an image format issue, or a corrupted file. What platform is the source from (iOS, Android?). And what does "not being able to open" mean exactly?
    You might also try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

    Hello,
    Just to set your expectations...it's fine to "rant" about things here, but I do hope you are not expecting a formal reply from anyone at BlackBerry. For this site is not a channel for any formal communications with, escalations to, nor support from BlackBerry for any purpose whatsoever. Rather, it is a user-to-user community of volunteers who try to help each other out to the best of their abilities. Note this banner, please, posted at the top of nearly every page of the site:
    Consequently, words posted such as "WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU?" are actually directed at the other kind volunteers of this site, who may not respond in the most kindly of fashions. Hopefully, we all can understand that your rant is directed at BlackBerry (though, by placing it here, it is misplaced), but I just wanted to gently caution you about such posts, as well as ensure that your expectation concerning replies is properly set. Also, for new members who join the site, it's always good to have responses to such posts, covering the intended use of the site so that those new members can better understand such things.
    On the other hand, if you do desire assistance from other users for your issues, you might consider wording your requests in a manner that would motivate a kind volunteer to provide such.
    Good luck!

  • Iphone4:  after editing a note the note disappears.  I have lost several over the past months.

    after editing a note, the note disappears.  I have lost several over the past few months.

    Really? The AASP I went to services both Macs and iPhones (and was actually within that list,) and I was very surprised earlier that they refused to help me with repairing my iPhone 5, even if I voluntarily and expressly said that I am willing to pay for the cost. The service provider said he can't help me with anything and advised that I have it shipped to Singapore (and since that is very difficult for me now, I came here instead to ask for advice).
    I will try another AASP very soon and shall update you. Thanks for your help, Clinton!

  • Strange Catalog Issue or bug. Help, photos disappeared help?

    My images disappeared in the catalog. They are not missing, they are just not visable. I think there is a bug in the Fliter section.
    Let me explain. I have one Main folder with 5 Sub folders. All those folders contain random amounts of images. (i.e. the path would be...  Photo/2010/BeachShoot, or Photo/2008/PartyPics... etc).
    I imported 5 years of images, hence 5 Sub Folders. I was randomly flagging images to be rejected with the 'x' key. Basically routine maintenance... flag so many, then call up only the rejected photos in the grid view, select all, then delete. Remove the Flag Filter... repeat process over and over...   Basic, simple work...
    Now... doing the exact some thing.. I removed all Flag filters and my images are no longer appearing in the catalog. I tested, by turning on flags, off flags.. etc. The images did not accidentally get deleted. I checked my hard drive location. Images are there. I rebooted the machine, I opened up another catalog, to trick it back... did not work. I tried to re-import the images.. but it says they are already in the catalog.
    Strange part: On the Left Sidebar window, under Catalog "All Photographs" it shows the correct number of photos in the catalog. However... the strange part... Under "Folders" in the Left Sidebar beneath Catalogs my Main Folder shows "Zero" number of images. But, if I click on a sub root folder where the images reside, they number changes from Zero to the correct number of images and my images reappear on the screen as normal..
    The work around... click on every subfolder...
    The solution... Unsure? Help!

  • Requirement not disappear from SOCO

    Hi guys,
    I want to confirm something to you all. Is it right that a requirement in sourcing cockpit will disappear only if PO created from that requirement is a backend PO? So, if a local PO created from a requirement, it will not disappear from sourcing cockpit? We're on classic scenario.
    Regards,
    Iqbal

    Hi Iqbal,
    Requirement will disappear in both the cases from sourcing cockpit, once PO is created.
    Kind Regards,
    Anil Rajpal.

    FIrst try a soft reset by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears then let go & let the iPad boot up normally. 
    If that doesn't help then to make sure you have a strong internet connection.
    Try resetting Network Settings
    Settings->General->Reset->Reset Network Settings,
    You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi networks.
    Once logged back in and when the pop-up appears, try entering your password again.

  • Will bookmarks, highlights and notes disappear after "personal" editing?

    I have to read many .epub classical books (almost all public domain) on iBook. Those books are not necessarily from iBookStore. I make highlights, notes, etc.
    My situation is that the formats/styles and typos of those classical .epub make me extremely uncomfortable.
    So I am planning to edit those errors whenever I find them on my Mac.
    Here is the workflow:
    Read on iBook ——> highlights ——> see errors ——> export .epub to editing tools on Mac ——> edit ——> export to iBook ——> read
    My only question is will all my bookmarks, highlights and notes disappear when I edit the epub?
    Does anyone know where/how iBook records/store the highlights and bookmarks? In .plist or something else? Since If I know where all my annotations are, I couse easily preserve them when I am editing the epub.
    This is a very very big problem of mine. Please help me.

    Connect iPad with iTunes Mac and copy the book to Mac. Then import it into Sigil (an open-source epub editor) http://code.google.com/p/sigil/.
    In Sigil, edit whatever part I need. Then export to iTunes again and sync with iPad connected.
    After this, the book no longer belong to the iCloud, but treated as ordinary epub imported into iPad.
