Hi. I have lost several pages of notes in the iPad notes application on the iPad2. I have read that there may be a way to recover them via an email account, but the posts reference Gmail. My email account is Yahoo. Has anyone successfully recovered mysteriously disappearing notes on the iPad 2 via Yahoo mail? Thanks in advance.
iPad 2, iOS 6
Were you syncing with icloud?
Or have you checked your yahoo account for the notes?
You should be able to recover notes from a backup, if you backup the iPad, but try this first and see if the notes reappear.
Quit the Notes app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus ➖ sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Thank you for your responses. I found my notes separately saved in my Yahoo email account under a folder named (appropriately enough) "notes". I still have no idea why the three most recent notes disappeared from the iPad2, and the previous 12 notes remained. But at least I found my work. Thanks again.
Thanks! I found all my missing notes in my Yahoo email! :D
Great!
Can I recover missing notes? I use yahoo mail and the "Notes" app within mail, contacts and calendars is set to ON.
