Viewing Your Notes

To view the notes available on your iPod or iOS device, click "Notes" in the TouchCopy features list.

TouchCopy will show a list of all notes stored on your connected device. Click a note to select it and preview its contents in TouchCopy.

Search: To find a specific note, click the Search bar at the top of TouchCopy and enter some text. Any notes which do not contain your search query will be filtered out of the list.

Filter: If you wish to filter your notes by date, you can use the "Filter Dates" (PC) or "Date Rage" (Mac) button. Here you can set a range of dates which will instruct TouchCopy to only show notes created between those dates.

Please note that TouchCopy is unable to access Notes which are "Locked" and password-protected on your device.
To allow TouchCopy to access these notes, you can remove the lock from a note by opening it on your iPhone, tapping the menu (3 dots), then tap to "Remove" the lock.

iPhone Notes Backup

You can backup selected Note/Notes from your iOS device to your computer by choosing one of the 3 export formats available in TouchCopy.

• Save as HTML (PC) or Copy to Mac - Export the selected Note/Notes as HTML. You can double-click a saved HTML file from its location on your computer to open the note in your default web browser.
• Save as PDF (PC) or Copy to PDF (Mac) - PDF is one of the most popular file formats for sharing and viewing files. Opening a note saved as a PDF file will launch your default PDF viewer program on your computer.
• Save as TXT (PC) or Copy to TXT (Mac) - Save your notes as plain text files - these files will not contain any media (like images) from your notes.
