If you've recently upgraded to iOS 9, you may find that you can no longer sync your beautiful new Notes app with your Mac. This is because on OS X Yosemite, your Notes app is still the same sad, pre-attachment version that you had in iOS 8—and they can't talk to each other.
- You can see them by choosing Go to Folder from the Go menu in the Finder and pasting in /Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/CoreData/ExternalRecords. You’ll find yourself looking at a folder with a 32-character hyphenated name, which you can open. Then open the “Note” folder and then the “records” folder.
- Sign into iCloud.com and select Notes app. Choose 'Recently Deleted' folder. Click “Recover” in the toolbar to get back notes disappeared from Mac. Or you can drag the notes from “Recently Deleted” folder to another one.
Good news: OS X El Capitan has an iOS 9-compatible Notes app.Bad news: OS X El Capitan doesn't ship until September 30.
But don't worry, friends: You don't have to rush to install the OS X El Capitan beta if you're relying on getting your notes from iOS to OS X. Instead, you can use iCloud.com for your syncing needs. Unfortunately, this does only talk from iOS 9 to iCloud.com—so you'll have to do your notes-writing in one of those two places, and leave the OS X Notes app alone until you upgrade to OS X El Capitan.
Note: This only works for Notes you're syncing through iCloud.com; if you're syncing them through a different service, you won't be able to see them.

How to view iOS 9's Notes on a Mac running OS X Yosemite
- Open Safari on your Mac.
- Visit iCloud.com and enter in your username and password.
- Click on the Notes app.
You’ll find it in your home Library at /Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/. To go there, enter the path string in the Finder’s Go to Folder window; this works whether.
From there, you should be able to edit your current notes, add checklists and text, and delete any unwanted information.
