Some transferred to my mum's iPod through iCloud when I foolishly signed in with mine, and I deleted them, having NO idea they completely moved over from my phone... Is there any way to get them back? Please help, a couple of them are a parts to my really long story! :'(
iPhone 4, iOS 6.1
Sorry Roxwell,
If you deleted them, and you have no Time Machine backup from before you did that, then they are deleted....

What is that time machine backup? I saw it mentioned looking for solutions not long ago.

Time Machine is only a factor if the notes are synced to a Mac or the device is synced/backed up to a Mac.
Since no computer was mentioned, I really do not understand why Time Machine was even brought up. It simply is not relevant.
Thanks diesel vdub,
You are correct that my response was lacking a segue, but bottom line, the only way to retrieve deleted notes is via a Time Machine backup. A sync is not necessary if iCloud is being used (as the poster indicated it was). I was simply pointing out that a backup would be the only way to retrieve deteted notes.....i.e., you cannot "restore" them from iCloud....

....if they are gone because you deleted them (as opposed to if they are gone because, say, your phone was wiped).

Thanks for all your responses. I wanted to see if there was any possible way to retrieve the story as I'd left it before deleting it off my mum's iPod. Thankfully I had a backup on my computer from the fourth that enabled me to retrieve everything. I really only lost about 3,000 words, but that's better than the entire thing. :)
I now use a writing app, and I've stored the most important notes under iCloud, which I wonder why I hadn't down that before, haha.
Thanks again!
Hey Roxell,
Glad you had a backup! Sorry you lost some of your stuff, but sounds like you have it set up now so that won't happen again!
Good luck with your story - hope it comes out great!
Cheers,

Yes, thank you! :D
iCloud didn't restore all of my notes!
