iCloud Deleted All My Notes Sync Problem SOLVED

I had a bunch of notes, and didn't want to lose them, so I set up an iCloud account and synced it to my iPod because that's what the apple guy told me to do, then I checked my notes and they were ALL GONE!!!

This is the third time I lost all of my valuable notes, and I was freaking sick of it. There are so many problems with these apple devices, and this is the worst! I called the apple lady and she told me that you have to pay $20 per phone call for help if you need help with your iPod unless it's within the 90 days after you bought it, which is also ridiculous, but lucky for me, I bought my new one like 8 days ago so I was good.

Anyways, here's the solution: If you have an iPod 5, then notes sync to your email account on your iPod (if you don't have this set up already, you need to do this so you don't lose notes, especially if they're as important as mine are!). To recover them, just go into the email (like a Yahoo! email because I know they support this, I don't think AOL does) on your computer, go to mail, then there should be a notes section where all of your notes will be synced to. Email them to yourself, then open them on your email in your iPod, copy the email, then paste it into a note, and then you'll have it back!

I'm going to continue syncing my notes to my email account because iCloud seems already faulty to me, and I don't trust it. Also, it's like not even a real thing! They never had me make a password for it or gave me a website, or any way to log into it. I don't even know what it is!! It might not even be a real account so instead of relying on it, I'm just going to continue syncing my notes to a real email address, I like Yahoo! and that way if something bad happens again, which I know it will, I'll keep all my notes, and be able to access them anywhere there's a computer and internet.
