Notes

An important Note has disappeared from all our devices. I did get it back by typing its name in the Notes search field, and found it under "recently deleted." But how do I get that recently-deleted item to stay back on the Notes app?

Can I recover a note after it has been deleted permanently? Is there any way to recover notes even if it was deleted from ‘recently deleted’. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Locked Notes is blank after unlock on Mac Ventura, other devices work fine. Notes content are blank after unlock: In my case: Ventura: 13.0 (22A380) => Open a locked note by finger print => No contents => try by password => no content too => and I will never got the content shown in my Mac. Open locked note on iPad pro with FaceId or on iphone with password is both work So I think there was a bugs on the client device. To fix it, I tried to re-sync the Notes from Setting > iCloud > Unticked then re-ticked the Notes app. And it worked for serveral time, several days. A few moment ago, the issue repeated. So sad! The issue happens with only single note, the other locked note still have content

iCloud Notes not updating Notes in Ventura or in iOS don't appear in iCloud Notes. No system I'm logged into, iPadOS or even Monterey, will update iCloud, and consequently nothing syncs across platforms. Notes are switched on in Apple ID iCloud on all devices. System Status is Ok. The last note that appeared iCloud was on Nov 30. Other iCloud systems, Mail and Calendar, are all still syncing. The problem seems to be only in Notes. Does anyone know how to overcome this? Is there some switch for iCloud to sync aside from those on the various platforms? It's a huge problem for me if Notes doesn't sync. Thanks very much for any assistance.

Okay, I think I've solved this myself:

In the search field at the top of the Notes list, I typed just one word from the particular lost note. After the missing note's title came up as "recently deleted," I selected it and chose "recover."

Now the missing note is back on my list of Notes in all my devices. 👍
