Thanks Ronni, I should have explained that better.
The Notes icon is there in icloud.com <http://icloud.com/>, and normally I see all my notes there too. But they have been deleted. I am working at trying to find a backup now that still has the notes in. I’m pretty frustrated that all I can see in iTunes back up is the latest backup. It’s not like Time machine where we can go back to long past backups, even though I used to backup to iCloud, and at times to ‘my computer’. I’m searching apple support to see if old backups are stored in Time Machine. Even if I could get back the backup I used last night, which contained my Notes, but now has been overridden by the latest backup and sync. I let it sync, thinking the notes that reappeared on the iPhone would then sync with iCloud. Instead, they disappeared again.
