My Notes are being deleted!

Let me try to beak this down for you. Launch the Notes app on your iOS device and tap the button in the top left corner until you're on the Accounts page.

On the Accounts page you should have several options - This is where you choose the location that your Notes will be saved.

'On this iPhone' will save the Notes to the iPhone the Notes can only be deleted from that iPhone.

'iCloud' may be present if you have set iCloud to sync Notes so you can share them with other iOS devices -These Notes can be deleted from any iOS device set up to sync Notes with that iCloud account.

'Yahoo' or 'Gmail' (if you have both) will save the Notes to the email account - Here's the funny thing about saving Notes to the email account

If you delete a note from the iOS device it will stay in your email as that is where it was saved.

If you delete the note from the Email server via the Mail app of in Safari on the Mail providers site it also deletes the note from the iOS device. This would be like deleting a saved copy of any document on a computer.

My thought is your iOS device is set to save Notes to your Email account and you inadvertently deleted the notes from your device. I don't know for sure but good it's a good thing they where still saved to your email. For your friend I would have her check her email account for the missing notes. Hopefully she can recover them. Personally I would use 'On this iPhone' or 'iCloud' to save the Notes, the email option is to risky as I clean my Mail out on a regular.

I Just updated my passwords in Apple notes And accidentally pressed bin instead of print, next to it on my iPad : what sort of muppet am I ; for thinking that Apple would allow me to rescind this basic inebriated error ?

My Notes locked up. I reloaded it. Nada. I lost ALL my gmail passwords & more. I am LOCKED OUTVOF SEVERAL EMAIL ACCOUNTS BECAUSE THIS APP CRASHED.

I had not backed up on iTunes. I thought icloud would have. Apple and google NO HELP.

I can't find the manufacturer of the My Notes app.

Do you have any suggestions to retrieve stored info on that unstable app?

UGH!

Where did you find your notes in yahoo? I use gmail but might help to know where you found them in yahoo. This is very very very inconvenient.

If you have backed them up with iTunes and iCloud before, then you can get them back from the backups in both iTunes and iCloud. But if haven't, you can use iOS data recovery to scan and preview the lost or deleted notes directly from your iDevice. You can also recover the specific file that you want to retrieve.

did you find a way to recover in notes? I did the same thing.

No, I now double up on important stuff in notes in case I do it again . You would think the guys would flash you a " do ya really, really , wanna bin this ? " message !

Please, help. How do I use IOS DATA RECOVERY To retrieve the hidden info on the My Notes app? Thx.
