I got skiddish about my data integrity when I tried updating the email address associated with my icloud; my notes stopped syncing from my iphone to my macbook etc so I decided I would export everything for a backup lest a "sync" operation decide to wipe my data from the blank device to the one with data.
I was frustrated for hours trying to find the export option in notes (there are some half-measures) but in the end I was pleased with the file format they give you when you download data from this page, equivelant to google Takeout:
https://privacy.apple.com/account https://privacy.apple.com/account
It does take a few days from the request to the zip download, but I got my 100GB of apple photos and 5,000 apple notes complete with pdf and url attachments
- Bellyache5 3y agoThank you for sharing this link. I had no idea it existed but it is exactly what I needed for backing up my photos en masse.
- stephen_g 3y agoOn a side note, this is the second time I’ve seen skittish spelt that way on HN comments in a week or so, having never seen it before. Is this some regional variation or just spreading organically from a mistake?
- eithel 3y agoI would assume it's very similar to bone apple tea. Hearing the word before you've read it, so spreading organically from a mistake. https://old.reddit.com/r/BoneAppleTea/ https://old.reddit.com/r/BoneAppleTea/
- jazzyjackson 3y agolol I mean I've never seen it written down I guess so that's how I spelled it off the top of my head. midwest fwiw. Skittish makes me thinks of skittles
- hombre_fatal 3y agoThey spelled it how they pronounce it.
