Recover notes from iCloud backup
So I've just noticed my notes are missing. I have no idea when or how they went but they are not there?
(My iPhone 4S and iMac are all up to date software wise)
I've been trying to find out how to restore just my notes from an iCloud backup. I don't want to restore contacts etc as I'm fairly sure i've added a few more since the iCloud backup.
I downloaded some software called Wondreshare Dr.Fone and can see my files are on an iCloud backup. They are NOT on an iTunes backup or the Device Backup option (maybe these are older backups??)
Anyhow, I see the notes I want to restore so iCloud has them somewhere out there. I cannot restore them via Wondershare unless I register with them at a cost of £80 I think it was?
I don't understand why I have to pay? Am I doing something wrong here? I thought a backup was for these unfortunate occasions when things just go wrong?
If anyone can help I'd be extremely grateful..... please explain thoroughly as I'm easily confused with computer jargon.
Many Thanks
