My Pages documents disappeared from my iphone somehow in the process of changing my iphone account from a defunct email address to my new one. How do I get them back?

I changed my Apple account to a new email address and away from an address that was discarded last summer. Somehow, in the process, all my Notes word processing documents left my iphone. Did they go to the icloud for my old Apple account or just disappear completely? I can't access the old icloud since it requires a working up-to-date email address. Apple Security so far has not been able to help me restore my orphaned files. What to do now?!

    Did you create these notes in the iPad notes App ... I assume?
    This support article will explain how you can restore from a backup - which is what you have to do in order to have any chance of recovering your note.
    How to backup and restore from a backup
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    But you have to remember, that you will lose any of the notes that you have taken since the date of the last backup. If you synced your iPad last week, then you will lose a whole week of current notes - or whatever notes you have created since your last backup. When you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup onto the iPad - that was on the iPad on the time and date of the backup.
    If you backup every day, then all of your notes should be recoverable from the backup - except for any notes that you took since you last backed up. There is no foolproof way to recover everything once you start taking more notes or creating new documents or whatever that you do in an app unless you are syncing those notes with iCloud and backing up all of the time or unless the app is set to sync with iCloud as you work on the files - like in Pages, Numbers or Keynote - Apple's iWorks apps.
    If you decide to restore from an iTunes backup you should turn off at sync before you try restoring because iTunes will want to backup your iPad right away when you plug it in and you will lose your old or last backup.

  • When I updated my iPhone, I lost some of the songs I've bought - both on my phone and in iTunes on my Macbook. How do I get them back?

    When I updated my iPhone, I lost some of the songs I've bought - both on my phone and in iTunes on my Macbook. How do I get them back?

    Okay... but then there's nothing there? It just says "There are no purchased movies to be downloaded" (roughly translated from Danish)...

  • All my songs and apps disappeared while syncing to my new computer. how do i get them back???

    I lost all my songs(two years worth) and apps when I was syncing to my new computer. How do I get them back without paying again???

    Did you fail to copy everything from your old computer or your ipod before syncing?
    If so:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I plugged in my iphone then i took my iphone out of the computer then all my notes were gone exept for one how can i get them back?

    they are not in my mail how can i get them back?

    have you tried a hard reset, if not try this
    it doesn't matter whether the phone is on or not to start with
    Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
    Continue holding both buttons (Ignore the "Slide to power off") until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
    You may let go when you see the silver Apple logo.
    You have completed a hard reset successfully.

  • Hi somehow all my bookmarks on my Mozilla Firefox toolbar disapeared that I saved on my AOL toolbar. How can I get them back?

    Hi on my Firefox browser I had saved links via my AOL toolbar that suddenly disappeared yesterday and Im wondering if anyone knows what could have happened and how I can get them restored? I was just online visiting web sites and noticed they just disappeared.

    Hello,
    Please confirm that the problem you faced was this
    #You had an issue with our Internet access
    #Telstra fixed the issue and restarted your modem
    #Now in Firefox you are unable to view your bookmarks
    Is that the issue? If so, it is unlikely that a connectivity issue has caused this problem. Also, can you please confirm if you have enabled Firefox Sync?
    Thank you

  • I plugged my iphone 4s into my computer and it backed up by itself,i know have everything from my old phone on my new one how do i get everything back?

    please help!

    I completely understand what you are trying to say. Regardless of what YOU are saying are facts, its my device. YOU don't know what glitches, issues or age defined  viruses may take place on my device. Anything is possible. YOU may think you're an expert but i'm positive that you haven't seen everything. On the other hand I full-heartedly appreciate your help in telling me I can never get my data back. Im sure you know a lot about apple and can help many others that need help (no sarcasm at all). I hope there aren' any hard feeling from this small quarrel. Once again thank you for answering to my statements in such a short time. Have a good night!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The last time i synced/backed-up, my contacts on iphone are gone and address book is empty.  how can i get them back?

    i have an old mac book os x version 10.4.11 and an old iphone 3g.  i've never had a problem syncing and backing up before, but the last time i did, it deleted my contacts on my iphone and my phone/address book entries on my mac book. any suggestions on how i can re-create?  and, why would it have "deleted" my info this time?  thank you for your help!!

    OK. I signed into my Icloud account on my computer and just the basics
    were there. My contacts, calendar. find my phone. No picture Icon.
    In reading I had to Photo stream from my camera roll. It sounds like I
    should just backup everything to Itunes in the future which saves everything.
    I have a new device and will try to restore.
    Thanks.  

  • I updated to Firefox 3.6.13 and now have no Web page previews/thumbnails when I open a new tab - how do I get them back?

    Whenever I opened a new tab with older versions of Firefox 3.6.n, I would see thumbnails of some of the pages I'd visited before. I love this feature, but I do not know how to restore it after downloading and installing FF 3.6.13. What do I need to do to get this feature back? Is there a possible conflict with another add-on or toolbar? I have these toolbars: Google, The Free Dictionary, and Amazon.com. (The plug-ins you can see below.) Incidentally, the Firefox version displayed in the "educated guesses" section is not correct: it shows 3.0.11 and using the Help menu and choosing About Mozilla Firefox, it displays 3.6.13.

    Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar. <br />

    Or visit the Google Toolbar forum. <br />

    As far as your UserAgent showing Firefox 3.0.11, see this: <br />

    You might want to consider getting rid of that '''desktopsmiley''' program that has messed up your UserAgent, it is known as Malware.

  • HT5610 I updated my iphone 4 to ios 7.0.6 and lost all my ringtones I purchased from itunes. How do I get them back?

    I updated my iPhone 4s with the ios 7.0.6 software and lost all my ringtones I purchased through Itunes. How do I get them back?

    Did you fail to save them to your computer before updating?
    If so, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking them to allow a redownload.

  • I turned off my iPhone 4 and it has deleted all my messages apart from my iMessages? How do I get them back?

    My iPhone 4 began to not tell me when I would receive text messages, therefore I restarted my phone and when it turned back on all my messages where gone other than my iMessages? Also, in my storage it still says I have the amount of data usage for my texts as I had before they were deleted. How do I get them back?

    It's a bit confusing for many people, but iTunes doesn't really store the contacts. It's just used as a conduit to third party contact programmes, such as Outlook on a PC. IF you were using Outlook (or a similar, supported programme) all is good.
    If you were't using something like it, the contacts are gone.

  • Help, I have just restored my iphone from last back up to retrieve vital messages that somehow disappeared.  Now I have lost the most recent messages, calendar details and photos.  How do I get them back?

    I have an iPhone 5S

    You restore from the backup that contained them.
    Restoring from a backup is all or nothing. It completely overwrites the data in the phone when you restore. You can not combine the contents of a backup with what's currently on your phone.

  • Last night all the spreadsheets disappeared from "Numbers" and likewise all the documents from "Pages."  What happened and how can I get them back?

  • Ringtones i purchased from itunes disappeared when my iphone 4s restarted and they only show up as 'on my device' in itunes library but with a grey dotted circle. How do I get them back? They worked until the phone restarted!

    I purchased some alert tones on my iphone 4s via itunes yesterday. They all worked just fine until the phone ran out of battery and I plugged it in and restarted. They have vanished from the phone and when I connect to my PC they only show up as 'on my device' under tones and with a grey dotted circle by them. How do I get them back? This is crazy! I purchased one a second time, it worked, I switched my phone off and on again and it has gone again!!!

    Having the same issue on multiple alert tones on my Iphone5c.  After purchase they disappear from the phone and show up on my itune under Tones grayed out with a dotted circle next to them.

  • Ihone 4s lost all contacts. I tried to restore from backup but the error message now says there is not enough room. I have deleted all the apps without making any more room on iphone. Why did contact disappear and how do I get them back?

    In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
    iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.
