How do I get a deleted Note back? (no iTunes backup)

My iPhone notes are all synced via iCloud (i guess) to my computer (mac) and shows up in the Mail.app, I accidentally deleted a very important note while in the Mail.app on my mac, now its suddenly all gone from my iPhone (since I guess it synced wireless via icloud again),


How do I get it back? I have not synced the iPhone to iTunes since the note vas created and hence, I guess I cant use

itunes backup to restore it.



Please, any advices are much appreciated!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the notes were gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those notes.
Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devic es. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the notes that you need, recover deleted notes from that backup.
I think the suggestions might be of use to you.


And i share you a article:

Clearly A.Sarah did not read the post responded to; the only purpose of this post was to include a link to at best a crass commercial product link or at worst a suspected malware site (a link which the mods removed).


The whole post should be removed as inane. Remembering that the OP said that the phone had not been synced to a computer, the note clearly cannot be on the computer.


  • While Spotlight could find the note if it was on the phone, the OP stated that the note was not on the phone
  • The iPhone has no trash folder
  • TimeMachine is only on Macs, not on iPhones

It just happen to me.

I´ve been working two hours one a note and I press some strange keyboard combination and it´s gone.

I´ve got a mac mini, a macbook and an iPhone. Gone from the all three in a matter of seconds.

But I login to iCloud on Safari, and this note, and some old ones, were all there.

(I don´t know why online there are old versions while there is a new one syncing. Apple strange way)


Solution:

Get a web browser, get into iCloud.
