My battery ribbon broke on my iphone 7 plus. I bought a new 12 pro max to replace and I can't transfer notes that were on my iphone 7. They were on my phone not in the cloud or my mac. Is there anything I can do to recover them?
BarbLmom,
Understood. Unless those notes were syncing to another email account that you haven't added to your device, restoring that backup will be the only option to get them back. You can always create a new backup of your currently data, restore the iPhone 7 backup and then turn on iCloud to sync those notes. Once synced you can erase and restore the new iPhone 12 backup that you recently made, sign into your iCloud account and turn on Notes.
Take care!
Hi BarbLmom,
Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. From our understanding, you would like to transfer notes from your iPhone 7 to your iPhone 12, do we have that right? You mentioned that your Notes were not syncing to iCloud or your Mac and your iPhone 7 no longer powers on, is that correct? If so, do you have a back up from your iPhone 7 that may contain the notes?
If so, you can follow the steps here to restore your backup to your iPhone 12: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup.
Hope that helps!
Thanks Eric...I already set up my new phone, since my other wasn't working, and now if I do this I'll have to set up everything again? Just trying to limit having to do that.
Thanks so much! I think I will have to try this.
BarbLmom,
Our pleasure! Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day!
