I don't have an iPad yet but wondered if there is a "RESTORE POINT" that you can go to as one can on most PC's these days?
Good luck! ££$
Your problem sounds a bit like this chap from another forum:
I was on a 3 week vacation and took a lot of notes during that time. When I got back, I wanted to e-mail them to myself. When I brought up the Notes app all my notes (about 15 of them with a lot of details in each) had disappeared. When I called Apple Support they said I should have backed them up regularly and that the iPad is not a storage device (good to know!) Obviously, I don't take my desktop with me on vacation to be able to use iTunes to back my iPad up daily, right after I create my note, so I am not caught by this surprise. Of course, I can e-mail it to myself as a backup as soon as I create the note. But that assumes I have Wi-Fi access available wherever I go on vacation. So unless anyone has any ideas on this, I have just lost a lot of detailed information that I was going to use to write a travel blog. How does something just disappear from a device without it being deleted or without a serious failure of the component that persists it?
Very disappointed with the iPad and Apple, especially considering how jaded everyone is with this company and its products. From that statement you may realize that I am a new Apple product user and not as enamored.
