Dear All,
After installing MacOS Sierra, all my Notes stored locally on my MBP are gone. The only Notes in the Notes.app are those stored in iCloud account. Does anyone know how to recover the locally stored Notes in El Capitan?
Thanks
Edmund
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), macOS Sierra (10.12)
The files to restore are:
~/Library/Group Containers/group.com.apple.notes
NoteStore.sqlite
NoteStore.sqlite-shm
NoteStore.sqlite-wal
Others have success with these files:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/
Notes/NotesV6.storedata
NotesV6.storedata-shm
Notes/NotesV6.storedata-wal
Local notes are stored in the first as far as I remember.
Thanks Glenn,
The first option (GroupContainers) did the miracle.
What a relief!
U.Sa.
You're Welcome
Update:
The CoreData locations contain a lot of folders, but they're all empty of content.
Looked so promising, but in the end that location contained only the same few notes as all the others.
Thanks again for trying to help!
Don't know what else you can do. It's a bit difficult to get a backup of temporary files that actually exist in iCloud.
For the record, as Eric Root pointed out to me, only iTunes backups contain all Notes.
You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
Hej
This is an awesome answer! But how does one make it a html?
You sir are a hero!
email me your doc and I will figure out the procedure for you (thgewecke at gmail dot com)
Seems like my recent notes aren't represented in this files ...
Be it in the "NoteStore.sqlite" files
or the "NotesV6.storedata" files
(Older, useless notes, are...)
😢
