Is there anyway to retrieve old notes from iCloud?
I have iCloud turned on and i noticed that you have your notes from your iPhone saved onto your email on your mac. I thought that this meant the copy of the old notes was forever on the email no matter what changes you make to it.recently i deleted all my notes to make room for my phone but i realized that by doing that, it deleted the old copy of the notes off my email as well. Is there any way to get them back considering they used to be on my email before?
I found a good way to do this (on a Mac, I don't know about Windows):
1) First you'll need to sync your iPhone/iPad with iTunes. Make sure you've checked the box to "Sync Notes" under "Other" on the "Info" panel of you device. Also, make sure to uncheck the box for "Replace information on this phone" in the "Advanced" pane and resolve any conflicts properly.
2) Once your notes are identical on your computer and your iPhone/iPad, open up Mail.app on your COMPUTER and scroll down your accounts tab on the left (panel may be hidden by default) until you find the "Reminders" section. You should have a "Notes" section that has several accounts. Mine had notes from a Gmail acct, "On My Mac", and "iCloud".
3) Merge all the notes from the "On My Mac" acct and any others you need by selecting them all and dragging them to the "iCloud" acct. Once you're sure they're there, check back on your device that all your notes are now populating in the "iCloud" acct. (this may take 30 secs or so.)
4) Optional: I then deleted the gmail notes folder and the "On My Mac" folder to make sure any new notes would be created in the iCloud acct. I don't know if this will work or not.
5) Fianally, I deleted all the notes from the other accounts on my iPhone. I had to do this one at a time, which sucked, but someone my find a faster way. All I know is it works.
That's it. I've got all my notes in iCloud now and no stray ones that don't sync. Hope it helps!
- Retrieve deleted notes from iphone? Okay, I'm really desperate to get this note that was suddenly deleted from my iphone 4.It was there the other day, but when i checked it today, it was already deleted. The note is really important to me and the fact that i don't know how it got deleted, frustrates me more. Is it possible to get it again?
- My iPhone says that my Notes is taking up 1.79 GB of storage. I only have 3 notes, and there isn't a lot of text in them. How do I fix this? Recently there were a lot of notes on my phone, but I deleted most of them until there were only three notes left. However, my phone still says my Notes takes up 1.79 GB. I tried writing a really lengthy note to see if the GB would go higher, but it didn't change. I don't want to delete my three remaining notes, which have very little text in them. I doubt that these notes are taking up 1.79 GB. What is the problem here, and how do I fix it?
- Is there anyway to retrieve deleted picturres on an iphone? I did not back them up to icloud, can i contact someone from apple and maybe for them? Is there anything i can do?
- Is there anyway I could get back my iPhone notes? Desperate? I had probably 10,000 text, and now it's all gone. Because I took out my original gmail, and added a new one. I tried putting back the old one but it didn't work! What do i do? I'm desperate! It was for a BOOK I'm currently working on and now it's all gone. ;-;
