Some notes lost, some notes duplicate

Hi,
i have a problem with my iCloud notes. I sync them via iCloud between my Mac, IPad and IPhone. From time to time i get some duplicate notes with different dates. On each device it is different.
As i cleaned up the Notes i deleted the oldest Version and everything was fine.
Now after a clean Install of Mountain Lion on my Mac some Notes are lost. They were deleted on all devices.
Is there any chance to recover them from my last TimeMachine backup ? Im sure they are also stored local (maybe only temprary) on the Mac.
q
Best Regards
Marco

Thanks for this File Path, but....
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes
even the Notes are stored in the iCloud.
I replaced it with the one from my TimeMachine backup and i got back my BBQ Recipes...phewww
Hope it helps someone..
The Problem is that There Is No Way to Recover an Individual Note or a Group of Notes! It's All Or Nothing!!! I.e. Let's say:
I Accidentally Deleted a Note at 3 PM.
My Most Recent Time Machine Backup was at 1 PM on the same day!
If Restore that Notes Folder from Time Machine, I might get a 2 hours Old Version of the Note that I've Deleted at 3 PM, but I would lose all Other Updates that have occured between 1-3 PM, like
Changes to Other Notes
New Notes
This Problem becomes a lot worse when the Time Frame gets wider! I.E change 1-3 PM to 1-3 Days, Weeks, Months!!!
Apple has to provide us with a Safety Net, like Deleted Notes Folder, ala Mail, iPhoto! Then we can set to Empty that Folder to 30-60-90 Days, or Never!
One should be able to Restore a Single Note or a Group of Notes as easily as Deleted Contacts!
I love having my Notes on Mac, iPad and iPhone, but the lack of such Basic Recovery Option is bad particularly if one is to Trust iCloud for some Important Stuff!!!
I've spoken to some nice folks at Apple Care, and they are looking into this, but so far they haven't offered a solution! I am eagerly awaiting their response and any Feedback here! Thanks In Advance!

asuming you are talking about the app store try signing into your account using your apple id into the app store.

I lived in the uk for some time and set up my itunes while I was there. Upon moving bnack I managed to get all my music back however after my mot recent iphone update, I lost some of my songs from the uk. Not all of them. HELP!

I lived in the uk and have now lost some of the music I purchased there. Not all of the music. I still have reciept numbers. Can I get it back?

try changing your appleID to whatever you were using when you were acessing the UK store. Then try to re-download the purchased music. I am not sure if re-downloading music works from the UK store, however. It might be US only. If this is the case, you will need to contact iTunes support.

No. Anything that was created after your last backup will be gone.
Use iCloud to automatically backup your device, usually once every 24 hours.

Some body help me? I lost my notes, but i need recover them in my computer, no in mi iphone. I prefeer in Spanish...sorry

If you backed up your phone to your computer, your backup should contain your notes. To recover them, you will have to restore your phone to the entire backup. To restore to your backup, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings, then click on Restore Backup under Manually Back Up and Restore.
Google Translate:
Si usted copia de seguridad de su teléfono al ordenador, la copia de seguridad debe contener las notas. Para recuperarlos, tendrás que restaurar el teléfono a la copia de seguridad completa. Para restaurar la copia de seguridad, conecte el teléfono al ordenador, abre iTunes, haz clic en el nombre de su teléfono, vaya a la pestaña Resumen de la configuración de sincronización de iTunes, a continuación, haga clic en Restaurar copia de seguridad bajo manualmente una copia de seguridad y restauración.

TS4036 I think i have lost some of the notes i have made

I think i have lost some of the notes i have made, Is it possible to recover?

If you have icloud backups turned on as well as Notes (settings>icloud), then they may be in a recent backup. The only way to get them is to perform a restore of the entire backup, which overwrites your entire device.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

My phone was stolen. I first backe up from the icloud but then synced with my computer and lost some pictures that are backed up on the cloud. How do I get pics from my old phone which are backed up on the cloud but are not in my photostream?

If you have an iCloud backup, restore it to your phone as explained here: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521. If you have a backup on your computer instead, restore it to your phone by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup.

After I sync my iphone, I lost some of my notes, I dont know where the rest of my notes went..

You're welcome. Some carriers allow customers to download copies of voicemails from your cellular account on their website. You could contacts yours to see if this is possible. If not, you would have to use 3rd party software to copy it from the phone to your computer, such as Touch Copy (pc or mac) or PhoneView (mac only).

HT4859 I lost some of my notes?

Some of my notes have vanished.

Hi RbirdNC,
If they were iCloud notes, make sure notes syncing is enabled in Settings > iCloud. It's also possible that the notes were synced to a mail account; check to make sure that Notes syncing is enabled in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Mail account. For future reference, you can also access iCloud notes via icloud.com on a computer. If you can't find the notes in one of your mail accounts or iCloud account, do you have a backup that was made before you lost the notes? If so, you may be able to recover the notes by restoring your phone from that backup. Look in this article for instructions on restoring from a backup: Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

My iPhone 5 has lost some, but not all messages. How do I retrieve them?

My iPhone5 has lost some, but not all messages. How can I retrieve them? I did try to reset, but it did not work.

An iPhone cannot "dump" or "lose" those features.
They can be turned off in Settings > General > Restrictions or blocked by an Exchange Admin when an Exchange profile is loaded.

Lost some Note files after upgrade to iOS 5

After I finally succeeded updating to iOS 5, I found some of my Note files are missing
My update failed the fisrt time with "Unable to restore iPhone" error. I rebooted my Mac and tried the update again. It went the again the "Prepare...", "Sync for restore" again and this time the update worked. But I lost many Note files.
I wish the backup process is more trouble proof, maybe entirely separate for the update step in which I can for certain save the content of my iPhone. Then after the update, restore the backup.

Already tried re-syncing and rebooting both devices with no apparent effect.

I lost some info on my note book on my iphone 4s...i didnt sign up for icloud but when i do go there now it asks for payment info but will not accept my security numbe ron the back of my credit card

Hi..
May not be just the security code > iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records

Some sent mails do not appear/are not saved in "sent messages" and are lost

i work with mail and 4 different imap accounts. about every 15th sent email "gets lost". i.e. i can follow the sending process in the activity window, and i hear the sending confirmation tone. and, usually, the mails even reach the receiver. BUT, the mails do not appear/are not saved in the "sent messages" folder and are lost. this is very unsettling, as there seems to be no recognizable pattern. can anyone help, or should i change to "entourage"? big thanks for replies

Hi Bassolino and David,
I, too, have had this intermittent issue and wonder if you had found a solution?
In the past 3 weeks, two messages have been sent from my mac mail account, using the mail application (the only apparent common factor being that both messages had iphoto attachments), the recipients have received them - only I do not have a copy in my 'sent' folder.
They are not stored on the macintosh server either...
I have not altered any settings and this intermittent issue has just emerged.
Any help from 'Top Users' would be welcome. Thanks.
