The Mystery of the Vanishing Notes

This blog is going to be so random...

Anyway... So last night while I was updating a list on my iPod Notes app, half of my notes vanished.

I have no idea how this happened.  It this something that just happens with iPods?  I know someone else who's experienced the same thing... Notes just disappearing, seemingly for no reason. But its never happened to me before... Until today.

It wasn't like I had a ton of notes on the app.  I only had eight, but it is still so bizarre that half of the just disappeared.  And what's more frustrating is the three of the four  notes were lists of various things that I had made.  Only one of which I managed to remember the bulk of and another that I have to remake with sources that I have to go around and collect. It's not like that I lost anything extremely important, it's just going to be a pain to remake that last list.

I really shouldn't complain though.  I mean, as I said I didn't lose anything vital. The most annoying thing that I lost was the list of the earnings I had made from selling books on Amazon.

Okay... So I just did a search and apparently, notes from iPods spontaneously deleting themselves is a problem other people have faced.  Why doesn't Apple do something to fix it?  They practically release new iTunes updates every other day, the least they could do is create an update so notes don't just up and vanish.

...  Trying to fix the solution.  From what research that I gathered in about five seconds, if I sync my iPod into iTunes it might just restore the notes I lost.  Might...

And... It didn't work... Curses!

Note to self: Write down the notes you make on your iPod on, *gasp*paper as well.

You remember paper, right self?  It's the thinly sliced and processed trees that you were forced to write copious amounts of educational material on during your many years of schooling and receiving of a 'higher' education...

Ahhh!!

*sigh* Back to work on recollecting my Amazon earnings... *Curses!*  Uhg, I hate math.
