How can i see the sync history of icloud history?

A few days ago, i accidentally deleted the notes in my ipod which has been synced from the icloud. The original notes are made from my IPh. i know that as long as icloud sync is on, notes will be automatically synced to every of the idevices using the same icloud account. Which is why i turn off the note sync in my ipod, but somehow, it was turn on. Then, i forgot to simply turn off the sync button and i tried deleting all of the notes synced from the iph. A few hours later, i realized that all my original notes in iph were gone too. I was stunned and dunno what to do since there are around 200 notes and most are important for school stuff. So, i serached solutions on the websites. Some recommended to restart the whole device and make it back up when setting up the device. I deleted the notes in ipod, so, i restarted it.But it showed that my last ipod backup was in 2014!! Then i made restart fro around three times!! It keep showing the same result!! Another day, i tried to find some more methods on websites and i found idevice recovery software for PC. Then i installed it in my Lenovo PC and tried recovering with both ipod and iph. It only showed the last backup results. The ipod was backed up in 2014 and iph was in march 2015 for the last time each. Then i tried signing into icloud from my PC and entered note app in icloud. It showed the only last note i have jux made. I also found the trash bin in icloud mail and checked it, found nothing! Plus, i found somewhat they call time machine and they said it can help too but unfortunately, i dont even know what is that.

I think if i find the synced history for icloud notes, it will probably helped my problem.

OR is there any way to recover from icloud?

If anyone has any idea, pls share cuz i am having a big trouble with this!

My iph is 6 plus and ipod is touch 5.

Thz.

Sorry I think you may be out of luck.

iCloud has the ability to revert Files, Contacts & Reminders but sadly Notes are not supported so you can't get an older copy from iCloud.

Your options as I see it are…

Use an earlier iTunes backup to restore the notes.
There are a lot of apps that read iTunes backups. They can be used to read & export the notes. Explain what computer you have & what software you tried to use already.

Time Machine is a backup system that keeps older copies of files if you have set it up you can go back & get the notes however it sounds like you have missed the chance to protect yourself this way.

I suggest you make an archive of each of the device backups…

Open 'iTunes > Preferences, Devices tab'.

Select each backup & right click to 'Archive' the backup.

That will preserve this copy with the date, otherwise iTunes may delete it when you make a new backup - iTunes overwrites backups so that makes it hard to keep older copies of data. I would also suggest you make copy of these to an external disk, you can right click to reveal these folders for copying in Finder or Windows explorer.

P.S. Try hitting return occasionally, this 'wall of words' is hard to read.

THe laptop is an outdated one, i dont quite recall its modern. Its a window 7 PC. Another one I hav got is a window 8 notebook with less GB, so i jux tried with the window 7. I hav used some recovery software i can download from the web,, Hodo ios sata recovery, ifonebox, johosoft and Fonepaw.

I realize that its almost 100% impossible to get back my notes since i didnt hav proper backup at that time.

If by any chance you found out some possible ways, pls do share me again.

THx u for giving me advice.
