Alternatively, if you would like to backup your iPhone notes to the computer then click the Backup button on the toolbar.


You will be asked where you would like to save the notes to. Enter a name and location then click the Save button.


Step Ten
If you have problems with your iPhone and have lost the notes saved on it then you can open iPhoneNotes and click the Restore button.


You will be asked to locate the previous backup of your notes. Do this then click the Open button.


Once your notes are displayed in the application you can click the Save button in the left tray to save the notes back to your iPhone.


When asked to confirm the save click the Upload to the iPhone button.

Another neat feature of this application is its ability to change the color of the text in your notes. Simply highlight the text you would like to set the color of and click the Colors button.


A color wheel will open which allows you to select the desired color.
