Iphone 11 Vs Note 9
Laverne Levenstein
Its not that they are MISSING. Whenever I try to access an older note, say from, 2012, I see the note there, but when clicked the actual note paid is blank. I see that if I email the note, then the note contents show up in the subject line of the email. I would like to not have to do this of course. Any idea of what is going on and/or a solution?
Greetings, thanks for your reply. I have different accounts on the iphone that are all activated for NOTES ON. The notes that do not appear are the older ones that are under a non - icloud email account, yahoo to be specific, and as stated, the setting is ON. Are you familar with this specific problem? Notes not being "missing," just blank when clicked.
Check the iCloud section in Settings to confirm the status of iCloud sync for Notes. It should match what you had when the older note was created: if on, will be stored (and propagated) in the iCloud, else if off it is stored locally and might haver been lost if the device was changed since the origin. Switching modes (iCloud vs. local) could render a note inaccessible. Check also on which iCloud account the device is signed up under.
All my notes disappeared! I rely on my notes app and suddenly they were all gone. Blank app. Nothing in recently deleted. All 0. What's weird is that if I pull down the screen and search for different terms, they come up, but when I press it to open it, it takes me to the notes home page with no notes. They're not backed up on iCloud. I used a data recovery tool, and weirdly, it pulled all of the attachments (photos, etc) from my old notes, but none of the actual notes. So I can tell they exist somewhere I just can't figure out how to restore them. At one point when I first noticed this, I created a new note and when I went back it was gone. But now new notes are saving. Where'd they all go and how do I get them back?
The same thing just happened to me. I wrote something in my notes about 30 mins ago, went back to add to it and suddenly everything from the last 2 years is gone. I still have my notes from 2021 and prior, but all my recent stuff has disappeared. My notes were not connected to iCloud. Is there any other way i can recover them? I use the notes app very frequently and the missing notes are very important to me.
this morning i used my notes app and everything was fine but now when i checked it says zero notes , everything is deleted. i have a lot of information on my notes app that i require in my daily life . Please how can this issue be fixed ??
Today I tried to access my Notes App on my iPhone 14 and could not find it on the first screen. On the second screen I found Reminders which I have never seen before and I had not asked for. There is nothing of my old Notes (in 2 folders) that I used to have and it is very distressing as I rely on those notes all the time. I have Googled to find out how to restore Notes to no avail. I am hugely disappointed in Apple at the moment and need help.
If your notes are missing, you'll want to start by making sure your iPhone is updated to the latest software version, which is iOS 16.6. You can see the currently installed version by going to Settings > General > About > Software Update. If needed, learn how to update your iPhone here: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
while still in airplane mode, if I went to edit one of the notes it would then disappear. When I turned airplane mode off the note showed back up, and then all my notes went away again besides the ones that I did edits to while in airplane mode.
Faced the exact same issue right now. One of my notes just completely disappeared while I was writing in it. When I try to draw something on it, a part of it appears and then disappears again. I don't know what to do. I am not even being able to write on that particular note right now.
SOLUTION: After hours of trying to fix the issue of my iphone notes not syncing to my Macbook Pro, I finally found the solution. Open Notes on your computer, go to File>Accounts>icloud and sign in through that method. Then restart your computer.
It's also worth noting that I did the same thing on my iPhone first...but that didn't fix the problem. Don't know if it was part of the overall solution though, so it might be worth including in your process.
WARNING: When I did this, the notes app on my laptop synced to my cloud files (same as iPhone) and I lost any edits to Notes that only existed on my laptop. I also lost any Notes that we only on my laptop and had not yet synced properly to the cloud. For me, it was a relatively small price to pay to get my notes back in sync across devices.
Those steps do not fix the problem on my devices. My iOS device (iPhone 13) reliably syncs to iCloud and my Mac M2 Pro receives those syncs. But it will NO LONGER work in the opposite direction: A change to an existing or new Note that is made on the Mac will not sync to my IOS device. Often when I try to solve this issue by editing a note to try to force a refresh, a duplicate Note appears making 2 identical notes, but the Mac-to-iOS sync still won't update either note in iOS. This has started happening awhile ago during recent updates of macOS Ventura, now on 13.4.1. My use is to create a Note or update an existing Note on macOS, then access that edited Note on iOS when I'm away from the computer. It always lets me down when I open the note on iOS and find the update I made on the Mac is never there anymore.
For the last few years Apple Notes across my device (MAC, iPhone, iPad) would not sync correctly. I had over 650 Notes, and many of them had attachments, e.g., pictures, links to subdirectories, and PDFs. And I was sharing some notes. The problems I experienced included some Notes not syncing; always a different number of notes on different devices (a difference of 30+ notes across synced devices); occasionally Notes updates would not replicate across devices (VERY bad). And I tried ALL the Apple recommended approaches and various online suggestions, including deleting ALL Notes on a device then re-syncing from Apple Cloud to refresh the sync. But despite many attempts, I just could not get my Notes to correctly replicate across my devices nor stay synced afterwards. It was a big mess and causing me a lot of grief.
Thank you for your instructions. UNFORTUNATELY, they do not help. Since upgrading my Mac to latest Sonoma, notes no longer syncs with my other devices which have also been upgraded to the latest iOS. The instructions above have been followed, but syncing notes has stopped.
Hey Apple - this problem is bad for folks with long usage that have replaced/upgraded their Macs, or have been forced to do Mac rebuilds to solve hardware issues - in other words, loyal customers. You can do better.
Here's why:
Deleting text in a note is like deleting text in a Word-document. When you delete all text in a Word-document, you can still undo (using CMD+Z) while the document is open. If you closed the document, the undo history gets deleted. And I thinks iOS Notes works this way. Try to create a new Note, add some text, go back, exit the app (by swiping up) and open it again. Can you undo(shake the device) to remove text? No. Undo history is gone.
The built-in Notes app for iOS is a secret weapon for private conversations. It's always fun when you find a way to use an app outside of its intended use. It's almost like you're using it in a sneaky way that you shouldn't be, but all of the parts are there to make this a simple way to have private conversations with someone. We'll lay it all out for you below.
On your iPhone, launch the Notes app, and tap the Compose button on the bottom right to create a new note. Next, type anything into the note to keep it, or else it'll automatically be deleted when you exit from the note. You can also just go into an existing note, but it's better to start fresh with a new one.
Once your note is up and ready to go, you can begin the process of adding another person as a collaborator, which means they can read and edit whatever is in the note. To start, tap the More button on the top right, and then hit Share Note.
Now tap Share Options and make sure the Can make changes option is selected under Permission. You should also toggle off Anyone can add people in case you want to be the only person who can add collaborators to your note. Go back to the last page when you're finished configuring these settings.
Next, choose a method to share the note: You can send it via text message, email, social media and more. If you swipe on the share options, you can also select Copy Link, which copies the note link to your clipboard and allows you to paste it wherever you want.
At the top of the Copy Link page, enter the email address or phone number of the person you want to access the note. You can also tap the Add icon to search through your contacts. Adding a contact to the note is required. If you share the link without adding a contact, the other person won't be able to see or edit the note, even with the link.
The other person, on the receiving end, must now open the note link and accept the invitation. If they accept, they'll be redirected to the Notes app and to the collaborative note you just created.
