Notes keep disappearing.

I first encountered (and reported) this more than two years ago on and iPhone 4. I'm still having it, on an iPhone 5. It's not all notes, just one here, one there. It does not appear to always be the newest one. I'm not certain, but it appears that the loss occurs during sync.
Have read numerous posts about similar problems, but none of the suggestions offered help. It's obviously a common problem because there is even a third-party product on the market to recover lost notes. Only trouble is, it can only work if there has been no sync since the note was lost. Since I don't know a note is lost until I try to refer to it, months could pass between the loss and discovering it.
I'm not using iCloud, and syncs have been done wired.
Does anyone know a way to prevent losses?

Ok i have read other comments ( I didnt see comments before post) and they are indeed in a folder called notes on my yahoo account..
Ok so how do you keep them from disappearing on the phone which is were i need them..

  • IOS 7.0.2 Notes keep disappearing

    Thank you Ernie. This is very interesting solution ;) but after update ios 7.0.4 and several reboots Notes has repaired itself.

  • My notes keep disappearing

    I have discovered several notes have vanished. For example, I keep a running grocery list. It's not there anymore. Where does it go? Have I changed a setting and hidden it?

    THIS MIGHT HELP WITH THE PROBLEM OF IPHONE/IPAD NOTES DISAPPEARING - I had this problem on both my iPhone 3G, iPhone 4S and iPad 2 where all of my notes or part of them would disappear. Today I logged into my AOL email account online and I clicked on the NOTES folder and guess what? ALL OF MY LOST NOTES ARE THERE! Woo! Hoo! (spoken in the voice of Homer Simpson) Woo! Hoo! This might not be the case for you but check your email providers and your device to see if you are syncing to the NOTES folder with your email provider. I was so surprised when I found all of my lost notes in my AOL NOTES folder online. Goodness!
    The fix could be in changing or deactivating your folder SYNC with your email provider/inbox. Check it out and repost to let me know if this works for you. Good luck! 

  • 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:
    http://gmail-miscellany.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/gmail-apple-notes-app.html
    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.

  • Why do my Notes keep disappearing?

    I make notes in my "Notes" app and days later, they're gone.  WHY?

    I have the same problem but check this out.  3 weeks after they disappeared from my iPad they show up in my Yahoo email account.  Go figure.  Strange thing is that was the first place I looked when I lost them.  Why it takes 3 weeks to get from my iPad to my email account is but another mystery but I am glad they finally showed up.
    You might try checking under SETTINGS, then under NOTES to see if you have an account listed there, usually either an email account or an iCloud account.  If so odds are your notes might be in one of these other places.  But you might have to check for some weeks......

  • Amendments to Notes keep disappearing!

    I already had a note (in Notes), and needed to add to it. I did this, clicked on Done and it seemed fine, then a few seconds later the amendments just disappeared, and the note has reverted to its unamended form! I have now done it three times, and each time it reverts to its unamended form.

    same problem here, very frustrating. I don't trust this notes application anymore, however I found a quick solution: After writing notes, quickly email it to your email address, then later you can retrieve the notes via mail application; not a convenient solution but works fine for me.

  • Why do my notes keep going to my yahoo and leaving my iPad

    Why do my notes keep going to my yahoo and leaving my iPad. I have had this problem ever since I did the last two system updates. I deleted my Google Gmail from the account and kept my yahoo email, and is still have the same problem. The notes keep going away. They CAN be found in my Yahoo email account under "notes" when accessed via the Yahoo web page ( thank goodness!) , but why does it keep leaving my iPad?

    This is from a previous response on an identical problem which I copy and pasted. I think this may help. I only wish they would stay on the iPad and backup to the email notes... That seems would be ideal.

    I think I've got the answer to this one now. Apparently Notes automatically synchronises with your Yahoo account, and according to Yahoo, this is a one-way synchronisation. In other words it moves the note from your iDevice to a new folder called Notes in your Yahoo e-mail account, and doesn't leave a copy on your iPad.
    The solution is therefore fairly simple - go to Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars / Yahoo and turn the Notes synchronisation off. NOTE that this will delete the Notes on your iDevice, but they should stay on Yahoo (might be worth e-mailing them to yourself beforehand just to be sure). You should the find that, if you look under Settings / Notes it will say iDevice only rather than Yahoo. So all Notes will then stay on your iDevice.

  • Notes in iCal keep disappearing since Yosemite

    My notes on my recurring calendar events keep disappearing.  I have tried adding them through iCloud.com and that will work for a couple of days and then they will disappear. This happens when I add notes via my MacPro, Macbook Pro or iPhone.  I can't find anything related while searching the discussions in the last couple of years.

  • TS3899 Why do my emails keep disappearing from my iphone?  These are emails that I have not deleted.

    My emails keep disappearing from my inbox even though I have not deleted them.

    I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail.  The mailbox behavior says:  Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked)  store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
    I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.

  • HELP! My footage keeps disappeared, and I am not deleting it!

    Yesterday I was editing a 60+ min TV show and somehow, while zoomed in to a certain part of the timeline, the rest of my footage disappeared. I did not notice, because I was not fully expanded to view my entire timeline. All of the footage following the clips I was working with, disappeared. It has done this 2 more times. Footage keeps disappearing!
    I was wondering if there is possibly some key I am accidentally pressing, that is making Final Cut do this? Or if it is some sort of bug, and if so, why it is suddenly acting up? I keep all of the episode in one project, on multiple sequences, and have never had this problem before.
    Everything will be fine. I'll zoom in, re-edit a couple of clips, and zoom out to find more than half my footage just gone.
    Someone help!

    Tom,
    Do you mean my clips or *the* timeline? Yes, the timeline is "gray" as usual. Clips are normal. I'll attach a screen shot anyway, though I don't think it will help much. Everything looks normal, aside from the fact that a lot of footage is missing, which you won't be abe to tell.

    I have iMovie application open, but the iMovie application keeps disappearing off the right hand side of the screen and and I can not see it, even though the application is open..help, please!

    Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.

  • I have OSX 10.5.8 and I keep installing FireFox, but it keep disappearing. When I try to download the newest version, my software isn't compatible because I DON"T have the intel "chip. What can I do to reinstall an older version of Firefox?

    Firefox not only disappears from my dock but also from my Applications folder. I tried to downl0ad it again today (5/19/2011), however, it says my system isn't compatible because I don't have an Intel processor. Any suggestions. I have problems with Safari and like to use Firefox but can't if it keeps disappearing and then Mozilla tells me that I can't install after I have already downloaded the application.

    For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4.11 or Mac OS X 10.5.8 (PowerPC) you can look at:
