Hi folks,
I am running macOs Ventura 13.0.1. This morning, I opened the computer and found Notes completely wiped. And although the option was checked, I found Notes not backup to iCloud neither. I had a very substantial collection of notes and need it back. Is there a way? I have time machine backups if it can be of help but I don't know how to go about it to recover Notes.
Please, help!
iMac 21.5″, macOS 13.0
Am replying to myself in case someone else encounters this phenomenon:
Notes are back - a glitch switched off Notes in Internet Accounts (my email address). Don't ask me why. Guided by an Apple support agent I switched it back on and all of my notes reappeared.
Prior to the above, I did the following procedure to restore Notes from a time machine backup (verified the procedure with an Apple support agent) - it turned out that the procedure was really unnecessary, but, if need be, here it is because it works:
macOS Monterey & Ventura: all notes missing from the Notes app
Hope it can be of help to someone.
Now I have only one more problem with Notes: although all is properly checked for the procedure, Notes won't backup to iCloud and I have no clue why. Though I am able to manually copy my notes to iCloud, I wonder: can I not have Notes on my desktop AS WELL AS a copy of it on iCloud that syncs as I edit my notes on the desktop? But this is stuff for another thread...
