Notes in Notes disappear

I use the Notes function in Mail a lot. For the last couple of days, however, when I add something to one of my notes, the addition stays there for a minute or two, but then when I check back, it has disappeared. The note is still there, with all the previous content, only my latest addition is gone. What's up?

I've had Notes disappear - and didn't realize what caused it until I read this post:
check under settings> mail contact calenders and see if notes are turned on in your email.. if so they are being pulled into your email by your email account extremely common problem with yahoo. if the notes are on then they are in an inbox folder in your email titled notes.. turn notes off in the email and it will not happen anymore
And another user suggests this:
Quit the notes app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
See if that brings them back. If it doesn't. Backup the phone and restore the iPad from the phone backup. But that will restore all of the contents of the phone backup onto the iPad.
Of course, the best way to preserve your Notes is to back them on the Cloud. It's free.

  • Notes do not sync from iCloud to iPhone 4s AND Notes disappear from iPhone

    My notes are not syncing from iCloud to my iPhone 4s.
    I turned Notes 'off' on my iPhone (Settings>iCloud>Notes), then back on.
    Now all of my notes on my iPhone have DISAPPEARED.
    Restarted my 4s - no change.
    I created a test Note on iCloud.com and it does not appear on my iPhone.
    ALL of my Notes were only in the iCloud account on my iPhone.
    Help please!

    Notes will not sync with your iPhone 4S, nor your iPhone 3G, or your iPad unless you have Notes selected from the Info tab in iTunes.

  • Hi everyone. I have just started having problems with iCal.  Events that I thought I had deleted are appearing on Print Preview and on print outs. Likewise Events which I have not deleted have disappeared from my calenders, but appear in print preview.

    Hi everybody. I have recently started having problems with iCal (Version 2.05 (1069). Events that I thought I had deleted appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. Likewise Events that I have not deleted have disappeared from my calender (Month View) but appear in Print Preview and Print Outs. I see that there have been similar problems with Events disappearing especially in Month View. I wondered how print preview seemrd to be picking everything up deleted or not, and what the solution may be?. First time of Posting. I hope I haven't embarassed myself.

    Hmmmm.
    At the very least there must be a "com.apple.ical.plist"...iCal would not function without it.
    Click on the Finder icon in the dock
    Click on Go > Home
    Double-click Library
    Double-click Preferences
    Look for a file called "com.apple.ical.plist" and remove it to the trash.

  • 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!

  • Text suggestions not showing up/disappearing

    I mainly use three languages (German, French, English) when typing messages in my Lumia 535. Where "text suggestions" show up in French and English all the time, in German, they do not show up/disappear after typing and sending two or three messages so that I have to bring them back by going to Settings/Keyboard/German/Suggest text. What could be the reason for this strange behavior?

    Hi, lonza. Thanks for your response. Try checking if there is any update available for the phone's system apps. Go to Store > ... > settings > check for updates. If this did not help, try resetting your phone by going to Settings > about > reset your phone. Back up your files before doing it. Hope this one helps. 

  • HT201210 my notes have been disappearing

    my notes have been disappearing since I updated my iOS

    Using iCloud ?
    Tap Settings > iCloud
    Switch Notes off then back on.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to sync the data.
    If that didn't help, you can restore from a backup >  iOS: How to back up and restore your content

  • I just deleted an email account on my iPhone 5s and all my notes just disappeared when I went to access them. Is there a reason why my notes would just disappear? I don't recall linking my notes to the email account I deleted.

    I just deleted an email account on my iPhone 5s and all my notes just disappeared when I went to access them. Is there a reason why my notes would just disappear? I don't recall linking my notes to the email account I deleted.

    I've wondered about this issue as well. I have multiple email accounts, some old ones that I don't use much, others setup for support of particular projects/groups.
    I have no idea how and/or why some notes are linked to a particular account.
    I'd much prefer to have the ability to link all of them to an account of my choosing, thus when emailing from a note tied to a specific email account, that account would automatically be used to perform that email.
    But more importantly, why can't we be allowed to create 'folders' that function the same way as the Finder on my Mac. This file structure could then be accessed by every iOS app and device.
    This type of file structure would be a god-send for the camera roll on my phone. I HATE having all my pictures in one huge clump (cloud?)! After all, who wants to live under a cloud all the time?

  • My Notes are randomly disappearing on IPhone 4

    My Notes are randomly disappearing on IPhone 4; is there anyway to retrieve them?

    I have a Verizon iPhone 5 and just had a note disappear before my eyes...
    I opened the app, was looking at the note, and it simply vanished...the app did not crash, and it is no longer listed in my list of notes...
    This is not the first time my notes have gone missing with this new phone...never had this issue with my old iPhone 4...
    Frustrating to say the least...

  • After updating my 3gs to the new iOS5, my notes have completely disappeared. How will I get them back?

    My notes have completely disappeared after updating my phone to the new update.

    The same thing happened to me and I was able to get all my notes back onto my phone.  This is easy if you are on a Mac, and if you have a MobileMe subscription.  This probably does not work if you do not have a MobileMe subscription.  It may work on iCloud, but I have not set this up yet.
    Open Mail.  In tthe sidebar on the left hand you should see several entries like Mailboxes and Reminders.  Expand Reminders and you should see a couple of tabs.  Notes and To Do.  Expand Notes.  Now you will see a couple more tabs.  On My Mac, and something like [email protected]  (xxx will be your login name for MobileMe)
    You should see all your notes in the On My Mac.  If they are there, all you need to do is drag them over from the On My Mac folder to the [email protected] folder, and they will sync over to your phone.  Instead of dragiing you can also right click on one or more notes and then choose Move To.
    I hope this helps.

  • A note in notes has just disappeared how can I retrieve it?

    I have lost a detailed and lengthy note in Notes. How can I retrieve it?
    Many thanks

    If you have a backup that contained the note restore from that backup.  If not then the note is gone.

  • Ipod classic not connecting (not even showing 'do not disconnect' on Ipod)

    Help! I have an ipod classic and, since I upgraded to itunes 9, I have noticed that, all of a sudden, my ipod won't connect at all.
    When I connect the USB cable to the ipod, the screen lights up but does not start charging nor does it show 'do not disconnect', and the ipod is obviously not recognised by Itunes. I have tested the same USB port on my printer with no problems, so it doesn't seem to be the port. I have also tried downgrading to itunes 8 with no problems. I have tested the cable and ipod on another computer and it worked fine. I am basically all out of ideas as to how to fix it.
    When I restart the computer with the ipod plugged in, the ipod briefly starts charging and shows 'do not disconnect' before disappearing after a few seconds. It is a total mystery to me.
    Does anyone have any ideas whatsoever? I am getting desperate!!!

    I have the same problem as you describe it. My iPod Classic 160GB freezes up when I plug the apple usb cable into the iPod. I am using Windows 7 64bit, and iTunes v9.0.2.25 64bit for Windows Vista & Windows 7. Firmware 2.0.3 PC. And I do not have this problem with my iPod Classic 80GB.
    This is the workaround to the problem: Reset your iPod. You need to hold down the center button and MENU button TOGETHER, and wait for the iPod to start resetting. Then release the buttons. When the Reset completes, it should start synchronizing normally.

  • Notes app not recognising mail account with notes (SL upgrade to ML)

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion but all my notes disappeared. I researched this online and realised that now Notes is a separate app. I looked in it but the notes are not there.
    I researched futher online and it appears that the email account setup in system preferences needs to have the notes box ticked. I checked this but there is not a note box against the email address. see screen capture below.
    this is a POP mail account and presumably the account that all my notes are associated with.
    I found the notes.mbox file in my SL backup and imported this into email so I have a copy of the notes but I can't edit any of them.
    Any ideas - what I need to do to resolve this.
    thanks.

    I resolved this by
    Deleting all copies of com.apple.notes apart from the help files.
    Repairing the disk permissions
    switching on notes on my iphone and in mail accounts
    restarted macbook
    launched mail app
    launched notes app.
    This brought in all my notes which are synced with my iphone.
    This was a combination of several different solutions from different posts on this forum.

  • Notes do not save in Mac Mail.  What gives?

    I am running OS 10.6.3 and am trying to type a note for the first time in the Mac Mail program. I type the note and then press "DONE" and the note immediately disappears, nowhere to be found. I try to access the note by going to MAILBOX->GO TO->NOTES (or command 7) but the option isn't highlighted. The program is acting like there are no notes to be seen and therefore there is not a "notes box" to access.
    What's with these NOTES? Am I doing something wrong?

    Hello Carolyn,
    thanks for your answer about the notes. Still, even under reminder, the "Notes mailbox" remains empty.
    When create a note on my Iphone (with the default note app) and sync it to my Mac, the note rightfully appears in the Notes Mailbox, just as it should.
    But when I create a new Note (File / New note) and hit "done" on the note UI, the note really vanish forever!
    I have to send the note to my inbox with he "to" icon and then drag the new note from my Inbox to the the Notes mailbox so it becomes a real note and I can sync it with my Iphone.
    I wish I could simple create a new note and save it right away in the note mailbox.
    How can I do that?

  • How can I have Mail on my MacBook Pro show only notes and not the iCloud inbox in the Mailboxes column?

    I use iCloud to sync my notes between my computer and ios devices, but I don't want to see the inbox in mail.  Is there any way to hide or remove the icloud inbox in Mail?
    Thanks.

    I appologize, but this should be under iCloud on my Mac not Pc.  Not sure that I can change this.

  • In Pages (5.2), in a table, superscript is not only not printing, but not printing the text around it. Bizarre

    In Pages (5.2), in a table, superscript is not only not printing, but not printing the text around it. Any answers?

    Known issue now for almost 9 months.
    Use Pages '09 if you have it.
