The notes application on my 3rd generation ipod touch randomly deleted all notes upon opening. Is there any way to recover them?

I just lost all the  notes I'd kept on the notepad of my iPod Touch.  Any help would be appreciated!!

Today I completed a software update for my iPhone 5 without backing it up because I did not receive a warning that all my data would be erased and so, did not realize it would be an issue. Upon completing the update, I realized my mistake but figured it was too late to revert the damage and continued with the restoration of my phone to its factory settings.
After completing the update, I realized just how much data was lost (including important notes with financial information and images and videos of recent trips around Europe). Now I am desperate to try to recover the data deleted in the update. Is there any chance at all that I can recover something? The notes and videos are most important to me. I am also missing many Messages but that is less important to me.
Can anyone please help?
Any response is greatly appreciated!
Here's the official article from Apple on how to update your iOS.
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Before you update
Back up your device to iCloud or iTunes.
That's virtually the very first thing it says to do.
There's no excuse to not have your data backed up prior to updating.  Tell me, what would you have done if, instead of this being an issue where you updated your iOS and had an error, if instead you had dropped your iPhone and it was damaged beyond repair, or if it was stolen or lost, etcetera.
Perhaps you'd been backing up to iCloud and didn't realize it?  Maybe the missing Notes data is linked to a Mail account?  You might be able to reconstruct the data, but it's going to be an uphill battle.
Best of luck.  Make sure to backup more frequently in the future.  There are two types of people in the world; those who have lost data, and those that will lose data.  The only difference is how prepared you are for that event.

  • What files are in the "All My Files" folder in an iMAC? I accidentally deleted all files in this folder. Any way to recover them?

    Please help. I need to recover some important files.

    I've had good luck with Prosoft's Data Rescue. You can download a trial to see what files are recoverable, and then purchase the software to recover. You will need an external drive to recover the files to.

    And what ever you do don't use that hard drive AT ALL until you get your files back, if that's even possible. Even though the files may still be there on your hard drive the file system sees the space they occupy as availble to write to. And OS X WILL overwrite those files if you use the drive in any way.

    Seems that you can no longer hide them on your phone.  Try doing so in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

    If you have a backup that contained what you deleted then restore from that backup.  Data you added since the backup was created will be lost

  • Firefox crashed while automatically downloadingthe latest version, and when I reopened it, it did not give me the option of restoring my lost tabs. Is there any way to recover them now?

    I don't know what more details to offer. The browser crashed, all my open tabs were lost, and when I restarted Firefox, it did not give me the option of restoring the tabs. I really want them back. Is there any way to roll back and recover them?

    That gripes me to no end, as well. You might think Mozilla could think this one through, at least to the point of realizing there should be a manual means to recover open tabs NOT restored automatically after a routine FireFox crash.
    And if Mozilla cannot stabilize FireFox, it will keep losing users back to IE.
    The epidemic of crashes seemed to begin when FireFox "improved" itself with the idea of running 3rd party plugins in a "container", which is still far from reliable. I must run SysInternals Process Explorer at least once per Windows session to keep FireFox from destroying itself.
    Aside from FireFox being so unstable, Mozilla should show some concern for users and make the manual restore option very plain from the UI-- such as "RESTORE OPEN TABS LOST SINCE THE LAST (*&&!!! FIREFOX CRASH"
    Presumably-- and that may presume too much-- Mozilla leaves the open tabs "log" in place during each update. If that record of open tabs remains untouched from update to update, then why does FireFox screw up, update after update, and routinely fail to recover all tabs?
    You might think someone at Mozilla would realize something is wrong. I have let Mozilla "phone home" after each crash, and yet the problem continues.

  • I misplaced my iPod touch 4g and don't have iCloud, Is there any way I can get it back? Thanks to whoever helps! :)

    Same as question if this is a description..... I lost my iPod somewhere, I dont have any idea where it couldve been.... I just dont know what went wrong...

    Very very unlikely
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • A system recovery was performed on my pc. When I re-installed firefox all my bookmarks had disappeared. This happened more than a wk ago so the solution of recovery for 5 days didn't work. Is there any way to recover them from more than 7 days ago?

    On Jun 19 my pc wouldn't load Windows & HP decided to do a system recovery on my pc on Jun 20.
    Prior to the system recovery being performed all of my files & programs were burned onto discs.
    A few days after the recovery was performed I re-installed Firefox. It was the same day that the newest version of Firefox was released. I was unable to reload the version I was previously using (I believe that it was version 4).
    After re-installing Firefox I discovered that I lost all of my Firefox bookmarks.
    I thought that the bookmarks would be on the back-up discs but I can't find them on the system recovery files that I loaded onto my pc.
    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium. I have a HP G60 series laptop.

    Thanks for the info.
    I did find the folder as described above. Under Profiles the sub-directory I found was: t6jyvmtf.default
    There are 2 files in that sub-directory:
    blocklist - which is an XML document &
    bookmarks - which is Firefox document
    When I selected bookmarks the document that opened does not contain (to my knowledge) the bookmarks.
    The heading for the page is '''''Bookmarks''''' & right underneath that heading is '''Get Bookmark Add-ons'''
    Underneath that is a heading '''Bookmarks Toolbar Folder''' with the following under it:
    Add bookmarks to this folder to see them displayed on the Bookmarks Toolbar, Getting Started & Latest Headlines
    That is followed by the heading '''Mozilla Firefox''' which has the following underneath it:
    Help and Tutorials, Customize Firefox, Get Involved & About Us
    I checked each of the items that could be selected but none of them had my bookmarks.
    I also checked the blocklist XML document - it opened Windows Internet Explorer with what appears to be programming language (although I could be wrong). At the top of the document it says - ?xml version="1.0" ?
    followed by
    - <blocklist xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/2006/addons-blocklist">
    Should I be selecting one of the above to find the bookmarks & I'm just not seeing it?

  • When I turned off the "contacts" feature in iCloud (on my iPhone 4) I lost all my stored phone numbers.  Is there any way to recover them?  Help!!

    I turned on the "contacts" feature in the iCloud menu in settings on my iPhone4.  I ended up with a lot useless email addresses from my yahoo contact list that was cluttering up my phone contacts (actual phone numbers.)  I thought I could undo this by turning off the contacts feature in iCloud.  Instead, it wiped ALL of my phone number information in contacts, and left me with just the list of my email addresses, which I don't need.  I am desperate to recover all those phone numbers!  Please help.

    It worked!  Thank you. 
    Now I just need to delete the email address that are cluttering up my phone contact list. 
    Again, thanks.

  • I reset my ipad, is there any way to recover something that was in my notes app?

    I reset my ipad2 for donation and realized that i had a very important story in the notes app.  is there any way to recover the info???? i know it is a long shot - but thought i would ask?

    You can go to iCloud.com to see if your notes ever made it to the server.
    Or you can check to see if you have an iTunes back up on the computer.
    If you do have a back up, you could restore from it to see if the notes happened to get saved.

  • I have deleted my iPhoto library by mistake. Is there any way to recover it?  My trash has been deleted and it is not in there.

    Help!  I have deleted my iphoto library.  Is there any way to recover it?  It is not in my trash as I emptied that.

    If you really moved it to the Trash and emptied the Trash, your best option is to restore the iPhoto library from your backup.
    But if you did not actually trash the library and it is just missing, search for it with Find Any File as described by Old Toad in this post:   Re: iPhoto Library is missing. What do I do?
    If you don't have a backup and cannot find the library, you will need to buy recovery software to find the photos, but that will not restore the library.
