iOS7 BUG? ALL MY NOTES disappeared. WHY?

Since I updated to iOS7 on my iPhone 4s my notes disappear occasionally, from the phone iPad but not from the Mac. Everybody seems to blame Yahoo, but I have used Yahoo for my notes in iOS 5, and 6 without any problem, so it is more likely a bug in 7! I am not losing them completely, just from the phone and iPad.

An example, I had my grocery list on my iPhone the other day, and went to store, opened notes, and the list was gone, even though it was on the Mac, I don't carry my Mac to the grocery store!

Please Apple, fix this bug.

I'm not sure why this is marked as solved. Turning off notes in the Mail settings doesn't resolve the problem of notes missing from the notes app. Yes, your notes are in your yahoo account so they are not lost, but they are not in the notes app where they should be, which is the main issue.

I've been using notes since iOS 5 as stated above by BertingAP, and the notes were not disappearing. This is definitely and iOS 7 bug which needs to be fixed. Its really annoying to go shopping and find that your list has disappeared.

The exact same notes are missing from my iPad and iPhone, all of which were created last month.

Yes! This bug needs to be fixed.

I could not access my notes on my Iphone 5. I went on my laptop and went to my yahoo account and found the Notes there. I was able to check the ones I wanted and I moved them to a new folder I renamed Iphone Notes and I am able to see them on my Iphone. They are not in the notes app that I put them in, but I can at least go to my yahoo account and view them on my phone now.

The point still remains that Apple has to fix the bug in the iPhone and iPad notes app!

I too can get, with some work my lost notes from my Yahoo mail site, on my Mac, but the idea of the notes app is to easily access my notes.

Ya, as long as the notes appear in the yahoo, you are still lucky. Try restarting your device and see if it appears. I tried many things, and accidently deleted my new notes. My last attempt was to restart the device and hope for the best. And i got back all my notes in my ipad again. And had to type back the new ones. But still.. Good luck in trying.

With a fair amount of effort I can get my notes back, especially in that they are still on Yahoo, and the Mac. However they are not on the iPhone when I need them, like in the store! (My shopping list.) This was never a problem with iOS 6 or 5.

It is not a bug it is a feature that yahoo has set up with ur Email and as has been stated several times in this thread if you go to settings mail contacts calenders and go under ur yahoo email and turn notes off then u turn this feature off if u leave it on and ur phone dropped connection with yahoo service during one of their ever present server disruptions that your email just happens to be accessing that server then your notes are going to continue to disappear. Turn that of fun under all email accounts and off in iCloud as well and they will stay on ur phone but make sure you back it up regularly because if you have all other storage spaces turned off and something happens to your phone if there is no backup then you are SOL there will be no getting them back. To clear thing up a little more this was just as common on iOS 6 because yahoo is forever having a server down want to see for yourself go to downrightnow.com and check it often and yahoo is almost always on the list of service disruption. Also google notes iPhone yahoo and read yahoos own words on this feature and they tell you in plain English that this is something they have set up. This is not the fix for every note loss that has ever happened just the most common cause is that the email Option is on. Data loss does just happen sometimes unexplainable that is why they tell you back your phone up reguraly if u imput a lot of data to your phone everyday then back it up everyday. We are dealing with software and when updates are downloaded over wifi you are allowing your phone to make changes to its operating system with our a hard connection so glitches are more common than when updates are done in iTunes. You also have hardware that something can physically happen to and for stuff stored other places servers go down.again servers are physical pieces of equipment that thousands of people access daily so back your information up and look for more information on things before you turn the features on. If you are not sure about something tech support can answer general questions about phone features without you having to set up a support agreement.

I understand what you are saying, however: firstly, this never happened to me in iOS 6 or 5 just 7. My notes were always on the phone unless I deleted them. Secondly, I have turned off notes in e-mail and they still disappeared form the iPhone. What I need is something reliable, I now go with my grocery list on a piece of paper, it is less likely to vanish into cyberspace.

Just as a by the way, I use Yahoo.ca mail (Yahoo Canada), since 2006, and very rarely had the server go down. Hotmail now Outlook goes down more often.

Thank you ! Thank you !

Hello I checked my yahoo account and yes I found the notes folder. And some of my notes. However they were not updated. When I clicked Notes on my iPad I saw the note I wanted, but before I could click to open it, it disappeared. My note in my yahoo email folder is not the updated version. If I turn off this synch with my email will I no longer be able to backup to my email account? I figure I just have to periodically forward the email to myself I guess. I'm really upset that my updated notes are missing.

This exact thing happened to me. What a joke!!!! Stupid Yahoo!

Many have found their notes in Yahoo. i have GMail and cannot find any notes there at all. Any more suggestions for how to find Notes in my GMail account???

In GMail - Is there a difference between the Notes 'label' listed on the left column and a Notes 'folder' that I might be able to find somewhere else?? I've lost my Notes on my iPhone 4S and can find no notes when I select the Notes label in the left column as some have suggested.
