My reminders and notes keep disappearing - where do they go and how can I get them to stay forever?

Hi - I'm having challenges with the Notes and Reminders apps. Data in both disappear - i.e. in Reminders I have the titles of the Reminder list but all the items in the list are no longer there. Notes just flat out go into the ether. This started upon downloading IOS 7. Reminders did not seem to be affected until just today when I rebooted my phone and all 5-7 of my Reminder lists are now titled but blank. What gives?

I just had the scare of the year with my Notes app also. I have been adding to one or two pages in the Notes app on my iPad Mini for over a year, and today when I went to look something up on one of them, ALL my notes were gone!! It was as if I was using the app for the very first time!! I nearly fainted!!
Mid panic attack, I brailled around Google and found this link. I didn't really know what to make of it other than that somehow there might be hope--my Notes might actually still exist SOMEWHERE:

After reading that, I went into Settings in the Mini. I didn't think my Notes had ever been asscociated with Gmail BUT I had occasionally emailed a Note via my AOL account on the Mini, so I looked in "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and under AOL I saw that Notes had been togggled off. It must not have been like that before or I prpbably wouldn't have been able to email out a Note as I had done preveiously, so I toggled it on.
Lo and behold--ALL MY NOTES REAPPEARED in Notes!! Whew!!!
I notice that Settings>Notes>Default Account now says AOL, not My iPad like it did when my Notes were missing, so I assume AOL was how it was set originally.

The person that found them has deleted them on the phone so you iCal is gone is what I can figure.

pamalushka54,
We want to make sure that we get your phone up and running. Can you look to see where you have the most stuff stored at. Settings>General>Usage>Storage.
This will tell you what exactly is using everything. Then you can delete things from there.

The old iTunes libraries do not restore any playlists or song counts.
They should you if you do the roll back properly... Opening files from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in Windows Explorer simply opens the current library. If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't give your copied and renamed file the extention or iTunes will create an empty library rather than using the renamed file.
If you had a complete pre-problem backup of your library you could restore that. On the assumption that isn't possible I have a script called ExportImport that could in principle be adjusted to save the relevant data from a backup of the library database and then reimport that data into the current library. See this thread for details.

Files you save don't disappear, even if you no longer have the software that created them. They're right where you saved them.

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

HT204053 My husband went to upHdate his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

My husband went to update his phone this morning and when he did he lost all his contacts how can he get them back

Thanks, but I checked iCloud and it has none of them.
If it backed up to my laptop, that died and I just got the new computer. The one that's crashed won't even boot, so there's no way to even tell if it was syncing the contacts along with all the phone photos. Literally happened at the same time - it was because I had the new computer that I was finally able to pull the photos off the phone and make room for the upgrade. It had refused to upgrade for lack of space for some time.
I had thought it was set to sync to iCloud but it vanished from BOTH my phone and the cloud. That's why I'm so angry about it.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't unless (assuming you have the Apple TV 1) you remove the drive and connect it to a computer.

TS4147 I deleted what I thought were duplicate contacts and now they're gone, how can I get them back?

My address book on the mac showed duplicate contacts so I started to delete them. I deleted A-C. However, on icloud.com, they were not duplictaed and now all of my A-C contacts are gone. How can I get them back?

I think i did the same thing. I just got a new MacBook Air and when it synced with iCloud I had doubles of all my contacts. Now I'm missing most of my contacts as well.... Someone please help with a solution to this mistake....

I am trying to set up new folders under another e-mail in my inbox. The folder names are not displaying under the e-mail name. How can I get them to appear?

In my mail program on my Mac Book Pro I cannot get new folders to appear / be listed under a second e-mail account. They show up at the bottom of the window but not at the top as do the other folders in the initial e-mail account. How can I get my folders to appear?

- It does not make any difference what ID was used for setup.
- I would delete the email account from the iPod and then Goog for how to set up the account for yur particular provider. Example is: setup earthlink email on iphone
YOU can also go to your provider's support site and they should have instructions.

HELP!! I had two libraries in iPhoto, Photos imported the wrong one, and now I have lost 10,000 photos. How can I get them back??

I originally had two libraries in iPhoto, my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why. Anyway, I updated to OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3 with the new 'photos' app. It asked me to choose one of the libraries and evidently I assume I must have chosen the wrong one. It only imported 322 random photos, not the 10,000+ we had in iPhoto. I can no longer find these photos or the other library anywhere, it appears to have been deleted. I have tried 'alt' clicking the icon which used to open a 'choose library' box, but this no longer works in photos or iPhoto. I have no idea where it has gone and it contains precious memories over the years including the birth of our children. Can someone please help???

Where is your iPhoto library stored?
my wife and I share two iMacs at different locations but we wanted to share the photos and it was set up this way Apple Geniuses at the store I have no idea why.
Since you are sharing it between two Macs, is the library on an external drive or a NAS, or another remotely mounted volume?
If the library is not on a directly connected disk, formatted MacOS Extended, move the original iPhoto Library to a directly connected, correctly disk.
And the try first the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools on that library. Repair the permissions, and repair the database in iPhoto. Then try to migrate again to Photos.
To repair hold down the alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First Aid tools. Hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
The select "Repair Permissions". And then repeat, but select "Repair Database"
But make a current backup of your iPhoto Library before you try this.

I have a new laptop and my bookmarks and other firefox settings are on my mobile phone; how can i get them onto my desktop?

is there a way to sync FROM a mobile and not just to one?

Firefox Sync doesn't sync data directly between devices, it uses a "sync server" in the middle to store your Firefox data which sends & receives that data to & from individual device.
You need to set up that new laptop as a "new device", to add it to your current Sync account. See this support article: <br />

I downloaded several podcasts from On Being but I cannot find most of them on the display. Where did they go? How can I retrieve them?

I downloaded several podcasts from On Being but I can only see four or five of them when I touch podcasts. When I check back on the subscription to On Being, I see all the podcasts checked off that I downloaded. Why are they not on the display so I can play them? How do I retrieve them? When I go back to the subcription list, the items do not allow for download again (ie. there is not "get").
I have an iPod Nano that I just bought last month. The user manual give mostly info on songs and little useful info on podcasts.
Thanks.
