How do I back up or save my Notes? Iphone 5 ios 7.0.4

My notes are the most important thing in my phone and i would like to restore my phone but still be able to keep all of my notes.

Ive tried backing up everything up through icloud and my mac but when i go back to my notes and click my Icloud account it still has older notes and not my most recent notes.

I have 3 accounts in my notes with aol, gmail, and iCloud

each all have different notes scattered between them but i would like to save ALL of my notes SPECIFICALLY to iCloud so they can be under one account.

ive tried resetting my phone after backing up through iCloud and my mac and going back to my notes and selecting the iCloud account just to see that it still contains older notes and not all the notes i tried to back up into the account.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4

iCloud syncs notes create in the Apple Notes app. Create your notes in that App and all is good. Or use a third-party app like Evernote that has their own (very good) syncing and an app available on every platform.

You created notes in separate apps. There is not way I know to automatically consolidate them and sync them in iCloud. But you can pick one solution moving forward and use that exclusively.

usually you back up first, then restore.

In any case, if you are backing up Notes app to your computer or iCloud those should be there, but I don't know what app or mechanism you are using to create and backup notes in Google and Aol so I cannot speak to that.

You can do this by going to settengs - Notes - Default Account select iCloud, now all new notes will go to iCloud.

You can save the previous note from other account either from mac or iphone.

That's true, but depending on how he is creating notes (in the notes app or a third-party app or some other online method) it won;t help to consolidate his notes, which is a big part of what he is trying to do.
