NOTES FROM IPHONE 5 DISAPPEARING??

NeNe1010 — Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:15:24 GMT

I went to the trouble of putting all my passwords on my Iphone 5 and when I went back to them several days later, they appeared for a split second and then disappeared? Does anyone know why. There are notes I put on there about a year ago and they are still there.

Try manually ""closing"" the app. Hit your home button twice in a row (quickly) and then swipe the app ""up"" that you want to close. I have to do that with my iMessage sometimes.

I agree. If that doesn't work, try rebooting the phone. (Power off, then back on) That usually fixes most issues. You can also select options to back your Notes up when you backup your data with iTunes, which I recommend. They back up to your mail system; if you don't want them backed up in your email application, like Outlook, whatever the Mac email system is. You can also have them back up to an IMAP email account, like Gmail.

My office Outlook is linked to my phone and I don't want my notes backing up on my work email, so I have my notes backed up on my Gmail account.

Sounds like my emails on my iPad. I was sitting there looking at some email & they just disappeared right in front of my eyes. At least it has not done it for a while. I keep all my emails on the desktop so if the poof on my iPad I still have them. Only problem is junk email all goes to the iPad bulk mail & some if mail I want. Good Luck fixing your problem with your phone.

NeNe1010, Be sure you didn't inadvertently change some of the settings for your Notes.

Look in:

Settings--->Notes--->Default Account (see if you changed it from "On My iPhone")

and

Settings--->Mail, Contacts, Calendars (look at the "Notes" settings for all mail accounts)

What happens if someone steals or you lose your phone?

gib613, I left several letters or numbers blank so I it would refresh my memory as to what they were but anyone else would not have the complete information.

When I go to Settings>Notes>Default Account it is now set to Yahoo? Not sure how I did that but how do I fix it? Thanks.

If Yahoo is your email carrier, there is a snag with notes and Yahoo. I set up a dummy email account with Gmail, but still only use yahoo, and my notes are not disappearing any more.

Mine is set for iCloud. I can also set it for on my iPad. I'm not sure why you would have it set for your e-mail account.

Mine is set for iCloud, too - which is where the notes are backed up. Turn it off in your e-mail settings.

I think I got it fixed. On Settings>Notes it did not give me the option to delet/change default of Yahoo so I went to Mail, Contact, Calenders and there was an option to turn off notes so I did. Hopefully this will work and I havent messed something else up. Got to love technology!

Turning that off in email settings should fix it. Now, when you go to settings > notes, does it say iCloud? Also, make sure you go to cloud settings, and make sure notes is on. This way you'll have a backup when you charge on wifi.

Do you synch your iPad? If not, you should. You can synch to iCloud or to your computer. Which ever you choose, you need a backup of your data.

I don't fully understand the use /function of iCloud, and sometimes I think I wind up with problems because of that.

What problems? What makes you think that? iCloud is a off site storage site provided by Apple. You get 5GB free and it you need more, it costs. Like many other cloud storage sites, your data is encrypted. If you don't trust cloud storage, synch your iPad with your computer via iTunes.

I am not sure what you are referring to do you have a password keeper or are these passwords for each program you use.
Might be time to head to the Apple store for a consultation on how to handle your specific issue

Yes, on Notes now it says my IPhone.
