How do I recover deleted notes from the ipad notes app?

I was on the normal ipad notes app and opened one of the notes but for some reason about 3 notes suddenly disappeared! I didn't have them synced on iCloud or backed up anywhere, but is there still a way of recovering them?

iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3

If you did the backup of your notes before deleting then you can easily get back those notes by the following steps:

  1. 1. First don’t connect your iPad directly to computer because the iTunes only saves the most recent backup
  2. 2. Now make sure that you have a valid backup as listed iTunes> preferences> devices
  3. 3. Before connecting your iPad make sure to check iTunes>preferences> devices “prevent iPad from syncing automatically.” Because this will ensures we don’t erase the previously stored backup. Then select “OK” and close the window after checking “don’t sync”
  4. 4. Now connect your iPad to your computer.
  5. 5. Select the iPad as seen in the left bar of iTunes, as listed under the devices.
  6. 6. Select version and click on restore from options.
  7. 7. It takes a while to for iPad to erase itself, reset and restart.
  8. 8. After the iPad is restart you will see Set Up Your iPad in iTunes on your computer, and now just click the restore from the backup and click continue. It will take 10 to 12 minutes to recover your deleted notes on iPad, photos, music, videos, etc.
