Suddenly iOS 8 Notes app type is tiny

I've been using the iOS 8 Notes app for months on an iPhone 6 Plus.
Today I went to the app and the suddenly the text is tiny — at a guess I'd say 6 point — it's normally around 14 point.
How did this happen? How can I make sure it doesn't happen again and how can I restore my note to the usual type size?

Hi billbennettnz,
You can adjust the text size for all apps that support Dynamic Type on your iPhone. Here's how:

Guide: how to extract text from any iOS notes app backup on your Mac

Scenario: you had a sweet notes app like DailyNotes, perhaps one that your girlfriend installed while you weren't looking. So it was on her iTunes account, lets say. Then one day you upgrade to a new iOS version and backup all your data. For whatever reason you erase your iPad, install the new version, and recover back all the apps from the backup. (Maybe you were beta testin g prior to that so you wanted to wipe it clean.) Still your data is gone! Or is it?
"Fortunately" you backed up. However all that this means is that the text you entered into DailyNotes is stored somewhere in your backup, inside of a file named something like
"8f5d7ff4111c9b9e4c8dbb7395efdce9c260e0de-20110814-232318", encoded in a .sqlite database file wrapped inside that data.
Now, if you reinstall the DailyNotes app (or whatever) off of the app store under your own user account, will you get your data back as well? I honestly don't know. But I tried to find out, and I could get no straight answers. Most people said I'd lose my data, and the only way to get back my data would be to restore from the old backup, which of course would erase my current data! So I'd have to backup, then restore from the older backup, then restore from the newer backup again. Does anyone realize how LONG these backups and restores take? FOREVER! I don't have that much time guys. I just need a fast way to access a simple text file. Why does iOS make this such a chore? It's my own content, my own data, which is mine, my copyright, my intellectual property, and the iOS is hiding it from me inside an anonymously-named text file.
SO HERE'S WHAT YOU DO:
Download mono framework here and install it: (free)
http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html
(this can be easily uninstalled later, it has an uninstaller app)
Download iPhone Backup Extractor here and extract it in your Downloads directory: (free)
http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com./free-download/
(this can be easily uninstalled later, just delete the folder)
Download SQLite Database Browser 2.0 b1, and extract it in your Downloads directory: (free)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/
(this can easily be uninstalled later, just delete the app)
You can move the two apps to your Applications directory if you intend to keep them long-term, but you can run them just fine from the Downloads directory which will make them easier to identify and erase after you're done, if you don't plan to keep them around.
Go to Finder and open the iPhone Backup Extractor directory. Resize that window to the side of your screen.
Go to Terminal and set the window where you can see part of it if the previously mentioned Finder window from the last step was floating on top of it.
Type "cd " (yes that's c, d, space) in Terminal then hit command-Tab to switch to Finder.
Drag the folder icon from the title bar of the finder window into the Terminal window that's now in the background. For you newbies, the "title bar" is the VERY topmost edge of the window (the frame of the window) which should have a folder next to the words, "iPhone Backup Extractor" visible in it. You're clicking and dragging THAT folder icon into the terminal window in the background. HIT ALT-TAB AGAIN WHEN DONE.
Now you're back in the Terminal and it should say:
"cd /Users/yourname/Downloads/iphonebackupextractor-latest" after the unix prompt. HIT ENTER.
Now type:
mono iPhoneBackupExtractor.exe
This will run the iPhone Backup Extractor app. It takes a few minutes to load because mono is slow (it's emulating Windows basically). Be patient.
NOTE: The Backup Extractor can only see backups stored on your boot drive that are in the users folder of whatever user you're currently logged in as. So if your backup is on an external drive or a CD, etc., just copy it to the desktop.
Once iPhone Backup Extractor loads, you'll see its window where you can select the backup. Select whichever one you want to work with. Then hit Expert mode. Each app that was on your device at the time you made the backup will have a directory shown. It will be named something like:
com.ramki.dailynotes
Expand the one you want to recover data from by clicking the plus sign next to it. Then expand the Documents directory for it. You'll see a file called something like Daily_Notes.sqlite. Click the dark black box next to this and a checkmark should appear.
Once you've checked the file to recover, click "Extract selected" below and save to your Desktop (or wherever!).
Now quit iPhone Backup Extractor unless you have other data to also extract.
NEXT... OPEN the app SQLite Database Browser 2.0 b1.
Once it loads, open your Daily_Notes.sqlite file (or whatever .sqlite file you extracted, not necessarily Daily_Notes, that's just my example). If you followed my previous steps that file will be on your Desktop.
Once it loads you'll see three buttons at the center of the window near the top called, "Database Structure," "Browse Data," and "Execute SQL." CLICK ON "Browse Data."
Now on the left-hand side of the window there is a pop-up menu with the word "Table: [POP-UP-MENU-IS-HERE] "... CLICK on the pop-up menu. It will actually say the name of one of the database files that's within the SQLite database, something like "ZAPPSTATE" or "ZDAYDATA" or whatever (not "POP-UP-MENU-IS-HERE", that was just text I put as a placeholder since it could be anything really).
Now that you've clicked the pop-up menu, select each item one by one and look at the data that appears in the table.
(Don't worry, you're just working with a COPY of the file, so if you accidentally delete anything it's not a real problem, just delete the .sqlite file and start the steps over from the beginning of this message.)
You should eventually find a table that has the text that you're looking for! Mine was called "ZDAYCONTENT".
WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE DATABASE TABLE, it looks like an Excel spreadsheet. That means you may have to double-click on the database cell to get it to show you the entire contents of that part. (It only shows a truncated text string in each cell, but if you double-click, a new window will open on top of the current window, showing the full text that was in there.) Now you can copy the text out and paste it into another app like Text Edit or MS Word or Pages, etc. You can also export the data in the File Menu > Export to an SQL or CSV file. (CSV is a text file where the data is all there, just separated by commas. This can then be imported into Excel or Numbers or another database or printed, etc., or just opened into Pages or Word or BBEdit etc.)
CAVEATS: Dates will often be shown as a weird number like 3780 or 2863 etc. You may have to figure out on your own what this date means. I honestly have no clue. SQLite Database Browser does not seem to support viewing or exporting PNG and image files.
Other than that good luck. Post any questions here.

New notes App. needed, help

Just looking for some help. I have IOS 7 on my Ipad 2.
I need a Notes App that does not use the stark white background.
It is very difficult for me to read and work with.
I have tried every suggestion to increase readability. No joy.
I need; if possible to sync, two imac, two iphone 4s's, and two ipads.
I would really like and App that has a counter part that will work on my
new Imac with OSX 10.9.
I have tried Simple note, and Evernote.
Both have gone the way of stark white. No joy.
Thanks for all suggestions.

Theren's nothing you can do with the iOS Notes app. It is what is, and it ain't what it ain't. Evernote cannot be formatted like you want either.
If you want to complain, since there are no Apple employees who monitor the conversations, go here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
Tell them what you think. But almost all of us like it better than that inane notepad look.

My "Notes" app on my iPhone 4S is no longer syncing up with my "Notes" app on my PC or on my iPad. It was syncing up fine before. But no longer. How do I fix this so that whatever I type in iPhone "Notes" will appear in my other devices' "Notes"?

Ah, well, then the notes are probably gone. Did you save any of the email from that account on your computer? The notes might be there if you did.

IOS 8.2: Notes.app no longer works with Gmail hosted Notes

I'm on iOS 8.2, but I haven't tested this for a while so I don't know if it's a new problem.
BACKGROUND:
In Settings:Mail, Contacts, Calendars:Accounts you can setup a Gmail account. If you do that you have options to use
Mail
Contacts
Calendars
Notes
I use Mail, but in iOS 7 I used to also use Gmail (Google) hosted Notes. The Notes.app would then show a "heading" of Gmail and I could create or view those "notes" (IMAP store).
PROBLEM
In 8.2 when I turn Gmail "Notes" on nothing happens in Notes.app. There's no heading for Gmail notes. It simply doesn't work.
Could someone else test this and let me know if it works for them? If it works for anyone else I'll do more debugging.

The things that I have tried:
- Remove exchange account, restart phone, create new exchange account, restart again, open app. Nothing.
- Created a Gmail account instead of an exchange account (which didn't work previously, due to me not seeing the shared calendar), didn't work.

My iPhone 5 suddenly could not hop onto LTE anymore, after updating to IOS 6.1

My iPhone 5 suddenly could not hop onto LTE anymore, after updating to IOS 6.1. I know there is LTE coverage at my house, since before I updated it, it could hop on to LTE just fine, in the same location. My Carrier is CSL Hong Kong. Does anyone have this problem? If so, does anyone have a answer to it?

Hi AEEA-Family,
I also did the update this morning and had the same problem also on Vodacom. The whole morning after the update I have No Signal, turning the phone on and of gives you signal for a couple of minutes then it drops again to no signal.
I've just made the following changes on my Phone and all seems ok again.
Here are the steps I took to resolve it on my phone.
1. Go to "Settings" > "Carrier" > Turn off "Automatic", wait for list of Carriers and select "Vodacom-SA"
2. Go to "Settings" > "General" > "Cellular" > Turn off "Enable LTE"
3. Go to "Settings" > "General" > "Cellular" > "Cellular Data Networks". Then Change EVERY APN from lte.vodacom.za to internet
After I made all those changes I did a hard restart of the phone and now all seems fine.
I suspect the update this morning Enabled all Vodacom's LTE settings, yet Vodacom is not 100% LTE yet in our areas and this is causing the problem.
Hope this helps other people.

Google calendar is not showing in the list of calendars in the iOS Calender app

I'm following this link to sync Google calendar with my iOS Calendar app on my iPhone 5:
http://support.google.com/a/users/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
It sets up alright and I can see it in the list of calendars in the settings but nothing is sync'ed in the Calendar app itself. Also while in the Calendar app I click Calendars in the top left corner, and this Google calendar is not even in there and I don't know why (since it is in the settings -> mail, contacts, calendars -> accounts.) Very frustrating!

You need an AirPrint compatible printer to be able to print directly from iOS devices, but unfortunately, your Canon ip2000 is not on the list of compatible devices. See this Apple support document for more details:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
A possible workaround that might work is to try an App like Print Central on the iPad and iPhone. This will allow the iOS devices to print to most printers. But, there is no way to guarantee that it will work with your printer.

Notes in the Notes app are missing after upgrade to iOS 8

I upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 8. After the upgrade, all of the notes stored in the Notes app are missing. The notes were not associated with an email address, as I believe they were stored on the "On my iPhone" account. I also tried restoring the phone from a backup prior to the upgrade, but that did not restore the notes. To be clear, the notes app is there, but the notes inside it are missing. Solutions?

ical is a native app and cannot be deleted
spotlight can now be found by swiping down anywhere on the screen below the first row of icons.
you can also go to settings/general/reset/reset home screen

Type document and sync to notes app

Is there a way I can type a small document on my imac in word for example, and then sync that text into a new page on my "notes" app on my iPhone?

I have the same problem and luckily I solved the it. Let me start by I've never had this problem before regarding the Notes app not synching with gMail and vice-versa. It was only recently that I had noticed that none of my Notes wasn't in-sync. For me the problem was with gMail, my NOTES label had somehow moved inside the Mailbox label (kind of like being a subfolder). So what did was moved that NOTES label outside of the Mailbox label (now they're at the same level "parent" Label/Directory) and everything works fine again.
BEFORE:                                                       NOW:
MAILBOX                                                       MAILBOX
        NOTES                                                          RECEIPTS
       RECEIPTS                                                     WORK
       WORK                                                           PLAY
       PLAY                                                    NOTES
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

Suddenly all my apps is not opening .i didn't do any thing only my default apps are opening

suddenly all my apps is not opening .i didn't do any thing only my default apps are opening may i want to reinstall the apps??

Try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

I had quite a few notes in the 'Notes' app. I suddenly find that all of them, except 3 have disappeared. What could be the reason and how can I get my notes back?

Not fully au fait with iCloud. I don't use it. But if you have done a backup to iCloud then this might help. This reply will refresh your post thereby giving others an opportunity to comment.
