I backup my devices to iCloud, but also try to backup via iTunes every couple of weeks. Today I offloaded unused apps on my iPad Pro, and disabled a few from syncing with iCloud to do a backup. I had disabled Calendar, Contacts, Game Center and Notes since I no longer need them on my iPad.
Unfortunately, the hundreds of Notes I needed have been completely wiped from everywhere! This did not happen with the other apps I disabled. So I have no idea what to do, I have never had anything like this happen before, and a backup will do me no good. But for giggles, I did try that too and it did not work since they update in real time. The Notes appear when I first open the app, and a few seconds later... poof, they are all gone. Whatever happened, there is not even a deleted folder to recover them from.
The Notes are important and I would like to recover them. But everything online requires software that I cannot afford to be buying.
Does anyone know of a way I can recover my Notes that does not involve having to buy software? Or are they likely gone forever?
