Lost iphone notes
After syncing my iphone my notes have all disappeared. I didn't notice right away so I synced again later. Does that mean they are gone forever? I'm afraid I missed my opportunity to restore.
iPhone OS 3.1.3
If you are syncing to a PC they may be gone. You don't mention what system you are syncing to, however...
I don't know how it works on the Mac, but with the iPhone/PC connection, it's not really a sync. The notes content on a PC simply overwrites the notes on the iPhone.
You can create them on the PC, and then they are copied to the iPhone upon 'sync'. If have a note that is on both the PC and the iPhone, and you update the iPhone copy of the note, it will be overwritten by the (presumably older) PC copy.
This is, of course, Bad.
Based on this operation, I expect that if you have notes on the iPhone, and no notes on the PC, the 'blank' notes database will likely overwrite (effectively erasing) the notes database on the iPhone.
Are you using a Mac or PC?
