What happened to my Notes?

Recently, my aging MacBook Pro 2,2 died on me. (15-inch, 2.33 GHz Core2Duo, running MacOS 10.6.8)
As a replacement, I bought a refurbished Late-2012 iMac (Core i5, running MacOS 10.8)
I used Setup Assistant to import all of my data, which was very handy.
Problem: I had alot of Notes stored in Apple's Mail on the old MacBook Pro. Now I can't find them. The new Mountain Lion Notes doesn't seem to have them.
What's up? Is there anything I can do about it?

Have a look in Stickies.app in your applications folder, rather than Notes.app.

Do you know what happened to the Notes i made on ipad 'Notes'? They seem to have been deleted. How do I get them back??

Do you know what happened to some Notes i made on ipad 'Notes'? I turned on the ipad and they have been deleted. I am not connected to the cloud? How do I get them back??

What exactly did your friend do ? Did you or he take a backup of your iTunes library before updating your computer ? Have you checked to see if your music is still on your computer ? By default your iTunes library is stored under :
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
If it's there then you can add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library.
If not then do you have a copy of your library on a backup ? If you do then use File > Add To Library to add it back.
If you haven't got a backup then you might, depending upon what country that you are in and if the music is still in your country's store, be able to redownload your iTunes purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

Upgraded! What happened to my Notes in Mail?

I upgraded to Maverick and now my Notes are gone! What happened to my Notes? Where are they?

It's not on my Dock between Messages and Reminders, which are also not on my Dock.
I had to use Spotlight to find it. They are still intact.

Keychain: What happened to "passwords not saved"?

I was about to answer this question by directing the user to Keychain Access, where he could find the relevant website and simply delete it.
For as long as I've known, if you tell a website to never save passwords for it, Safari would create a Keychain entry with the website URL along with the note "passwords not saved". From that moment on, Safari would not ask if you'd like to save the password. The Keychain entry was self-explanatory; if you asked Keychain to show the password the field would be blank.
So, I checked my Keychain for the several secure financial websites where I store various amounts of the enormous Galt wealth all over the globe. They're not in Keychain any more - they're gone completely!
I suspect this happened when I updated Safari from 4.0.4 to 4.0.5, since I got the familiar popup "Keychain has been updated" etc.
Something must tell Safari not to ask to store a password for a particular website, and without a Keychain entry, it can't be the Keychain, right? So what is it now? A cookie?

Thanks, BD, this makes sense to me, though I can't seem to find a Login keychain I think I understand what's going on now.
The difficulty seems to be function of how Safari interacts with secure websites, and that's changed with Safari's evolution. At one time Safari would give you the option of saving names and passwords no matter what. They were stored in Safari's Autofill preferences while the actual passwords were stored in the Keychain. Later, it appears that Safari began to honor a secure website's request to not even do that, so I'm never given the choice. Those Keychain entries disappeared.
Firefox behaves differently still. At least one secure website will not allow Safari to autofill, but the same one will autofill with Firefox. It requires a ridiculously secure, non-memorable password, such as U*ng%!+{&.4 - you know, the kind you have to write on a Post-It note stuck to your monitor since it expires every 36 hours. It's a government website and by definition, stupid. For that one I use Firefox.
I would surmise that if the internet standards allow for a choice, Apple is taking the more secure route.
So, some websites, even though their address starts with https:// allow Safari to store names and passwords. I surmise that some do not; for those Safari will not even give you the option. I was looking for those in my Keychain - now they're gone, and I guess that's the way it's going to be!
You deserve a by the way, but I had clicked "Helpful" before I unraveled this mystery. Sorry!

What happened to my notes!!! I was writing a lot and suddenly a weeks worth disappeared. If this happens again I'm getting a galaxy

I have been writing 1000 words per day and zap! Everything back a week is gone. Multiple files. I know my butt didn't erase it. This is so messed up. It is worth more than my phone. Is there any chance I could get it back?

There are many people that I run into with similar problems. I am not stupid. I am a college professor and teach a lot of engineers. I am busy and work very hard. I was trying to write chapters to my book on my phone since I can do that on the fly. I was very upset when the information disappeared. The last thing I need is some apple blogger telling me they don't know what Mac is in a condescending way. If the phone worked right in the first place, I wouldn't need to back it up multiple times per day in fear of losing stuff. I don't have time to become an expert on wiping and reinstalling software and navigating multiple iTunes accounts. I had a one on one subscription and they could never figure it out either. If I could merge iTunes accounts, it would certainly simplify my experience. I would pay good money to merge my iTunes accounts.

When my email opens when I hit inbox it comes in as read. It used to come in bold and like unread what it is what happened I did not do anything

It is pretty simple. It used to always come in bold cause it was unread. Now it is coming in as read and that is not right .

Firefox does not do email. You probably have a web email application and I keep getting notices all the time for email applications that are being changed -- change now or get changed anyway, I think is how some of them read.

What happened to my notes in mail?

When I upgraded to Marvericks and opened the notes app, I don't see my notes.

Ok.. deselect the box next to Notes in System Preferences > ICloud then reselect the box. Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
You must be using the same iCloud account on the iOS devices and your Mac in order for Notes to sync correctly.

What happened to my "notes" after going from SL to ML?

Certificate for the website, was going to copy and send an email to the website to ask about the certificate. I got my cursor just inside the pop up and the whole computer shut down. Why what happened i am not sure about going to the website now....

Question
Went to Crossings Book Club website while there something popped up about the certificate for the website, i was going to copy it and send an email to the website to ask about the certificate. I got my cursor just inside the pop up and the whole computer shut down.

If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

Restoring from iCloud backup - what happens to non-iTunes music?

iPhone4, iOS5 and want to restore from an iCloud backup. Wondering what happens when music not purchased on iTunes (95% of my collection), when I restore from that backup? I'm thinking it will all be gone and I will have to go through the painful process of re-selecting all artists\songs I want on the phone in addition to re-creating my playlists.
Can anyone confirm what happens in this scenario?
Thanks!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

HT1212 Ummm.. I have a question what if you have NOT previously synced with i tunes?

Umm.. I have a question what if you have not previously synced with iTunes?

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I was surfing the net when my computer started emitting double beeps. I shut it down with no problem but I can't find any info on double beeps that did not occur at startup (haven't tried starting it back up yet though). What happened?

Quite the trial to sign in to freaking Apple support. I apparently made an account with my primary e-mail, but damned if I can recover the password, apparently I don't know my own birthday. So I had to make a new account with another e-mail, and even when I thought it was done, no, I had to fill out more information before I could get to this screen. You won't let me ask for tech support from your message board without my mailing address? Then my completely inoccuous user name was rejected for containing banned words. Lemurs and cats are profane now, what? This is why I hate computers.
Anyway, I've got Mac OS X 4.something, can't check because it is shut down, and I already described my problem in the subject there before I got dragged back into account creation. I searched several places for answers but all I can find are discussions about double beeping at startup (even when excluding the word "startup" from search results), while my double beeping started all of a sudden when the computer was in use. The beeps were certainly less than a minute apart. What happened? What do I need to do about it? Is it safe to start the computer up again? Fortunately my files are pretty much all backed up.

I don't know if we are experiencing the same problem, but this is what I did and it seemed to work for me so far.
Before anything I had to hard restart my laptop. hold power button until off then turn back on.
In Finder click on Go, then click Go to Folder. in the dialogue box type
/var/db/crls
In that folder there are two files that you need to move to the trash
crlcache.db
ocspcache.db
You will need to type in your password to move these to the trash.
Restart your computer and then Empty the Trash. It is very important that you empty the trash afterwards. I forgot to do this the first time and I had to restart the whole process. It has been a few days and I have been without any problems.
I am not claiming this process to be my own, I found it on another discussion thread and it worked for me. I don't have a link to it because I had to use someone else's computer and had no luck trying to find it again. This is the procedure I followed, I do remember it well and I wrote down the steps because I had to do it twice and got tired of combing through all of the websites I have searched looking for a fix to my problem. Hopefully this helps, and try it at your own risk of course.
Let me know if you try it and it works or not, good luck.

What happens to the data in apps that you choose not to backup with iCloud?

Hi,
I have a 64b iPad and a lot of the storage is used up with data stored inside apps. Some of these data stores are 10s of GB in size. Such as, I keep some videos on my iPad that I play with VLC player. When I upgraded the iPad to iOS5 and activated iCloud backup, it immediately told me there wasn't enough room to back up my iPad entirely. I turned off backing up certain apps, such as VLC.
What happens to these apps? Are they still backed up during regular syncs with your Mac?

when you plug into itunes you can backup to both locations (icloud and locally) just not a the same time. When you click on your phone in itunes you'll see this option
click icloud then sync (will backup to icloud when you sync)
afterwords
click back to this computer and sync
keep in mind that if icloud has a 5GB backup limite unless you upgrade it
10GB — $20/year
25GB — $40/year
50GB — $100/year
edit: forgot to say
if you don't sync with itunes to the computer then whatever doesn't go to icloud is not backed up at all.
