Iphone notes files in mac

Hello,

Some time ago i lost all my notes from my iphone 4 when I was trying to copy to my mac.

I did a sync from the iphone to my snow leopard 10.6.8 Mail.app with Itunes, here is the log:

2011-07-30 03:46:29:371|Mingler|1748|1927670|SyncPlan|Stats| Airbag being run for client com.apple.MobileSync.(personal_number)

com.apple.notes.Note:

Adds: 133

Modifies: 4

Deletes: 44

Unfortunately, the day after, I don´t remember how, I deleted the notes and disappeared from Mail.app, here is the log:

2011-07-31 07:59:45:761|Mingler|1264|19265a0|SyncPlan|Stats| Airbag being run for client com.apple.MobileSync.(personal_number)

com.apple.notes.Note:

Adds: 0

Modifies: 0

Deletes: 57

I thought I had lost all my notes and I try to forget and continue my live.

After time, I have the possibility to recover the notes from a recovery I've done from my Macintosh hard drive.

Looking for answers in discussions in this community and others, I can´t see information I need:

I don´t know the notes file extension. ¿How Itunes copied it? ¿What is the file extension?

And in case of find the notes file, ¿how to view the content?

Sorry, if my english is not very good.

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

When i said I don´t know the notes file extension -> is the extension of the note file in the computer not the extension of the note file in the iphone file system.

I think the extension is .emlx but in my .emlx recovery files, there aren´t the notes i´m looking for.

I can see the notes are stored with differents formats in the mac file system, but I don´t find how the notes are stored in the mac files system when the notes are sync from iphone to Mail.app.

¿Someone with notes in Mail.app synced with Itunes can view the files in the file system and tell me the files extension?

Hi again,

Is not posible find someone who knows how the files are synced to my computer with the information I´m looking for?

In another way, I know the software version (Iphone OS 4.3.1) is older than the actual versions, there is another website where I should ask for the info to get apple support?

Hi after time I can see the notes, the notes were store in mail.app, are stored in .emlx files, and synchronized from itunes with the sync service in a core data file in entity records that I unknow extension or type of file.

In my case, the notes never went to mail.app so I´m trying know to localize this core data file but what I suspect the information in this core data is corrupt and I can´t find it, or in other case the notes are not in the recovery files.

So, now i´m looking for file with the information of the notes when the notes were sync from itunes with the sync process, if someone knows something about this file, some no corrupt data to do a search with this criterya in all the files: the header of this file..

(I supposed the file is generated with the itunes sync process and I can check in the web (search: ios sync service) that this file exits, but I don´t find references about the internally data).
