All Devices Problems with blank notes

[JSBRG]

I have a note where I have made cells. But they are completely blank. Tried to turn Notes on / off in iCloud, without success. Does anyone have any advice to fix this?

I recreated your note but don't have the problem of text inside the cell not being displayed:



What device are you using and what iOS/iPadOS version is it on? Is the text visible if you switch to Light Mode?

The problem is that there was a lot of text and there were several columns. All the text has disappeared. But it looks the same, both on my Mac (Catalina) iPad (iPadOS 13.6.1) and iPhone (iOS 13.6.1)

I don't have much to suggest unfortunately, and it sounds like the note got corrupted somehow. If you create a new and similar in content note, does it happen in the same way?

What happens if you copy all of the content from that note and paste it into a new note?

If I make a new note, then there are no problems. Just tried to copy the text and threw it into a new note. Just the 5 empty columns come in. Otherwise a very good attempt, I had not thought of it myself.

Going with that idea a little further, does all of the content appear if you paste it into a Pages or Word document?

Also at what point did you last see the content?

Good idea, I'm trying.

I restored and updated my devices the other day (as I also wrote this thread where I had trouble seeing my warranty Limited Warranty disappeared from "About") and since then, the text in the columns has been gone. My other notes (which, however, are without columns) work fine, and sync fine between all my devices.

Just tried to get on iCloud.com, to see if I could see the note there, and there it can not open notes at all without an error. Hmm.

 

[JSBRG]

Same result in Pages.

Yes hmmm indeed! If it was just a matter of the one note, it's too bad to have lost the content, but because you can't open Notes in iCloud.com, that's a bigger concern and something about which I'd contact Support.

It's really annoying. There were important notes for my work. Luckily I can get them again, but still. I'm just trying to give it a few more days, maybe the bug fixes itself. Otherwise I have to delete it, and start over with what I can remember.

But thank you very much for your help and your good solutions. That way, I can also say I HAVE tried.

You're most welcome. One more tip: for very important notes, I use the Notes share sheet and save it to Files. This saves the content as a text file, which is a good backup.

You can be absolutely sure I will do that next time 😁
