MacOS – use OS X Notes app from 10.9+ on 10.8

This is a little like what happened to me, I posted a question here relating to notes that had gone missing too.

It seems that if you take a note while offline, when you sync with icloud it will sometimes without warning delete notes it does not know about :( Luckily in my case since I had made the note on my mac it created a recovery folder for me.

Perhaps your phone may have done a similar thing? If you open notes and hit the 'accounts' button at the top, is there a 'recovered items' folder?

You should do it in these order:

• partition drive into two partitions — first for 10.7 and second for 10.6 and XP combined
• install 10.7
• install 10.6
• run Bootcamp Assistant and install xp — Choose 10.7 partition in Startup Disk in System Preferences

And if you only need 10.6 for Bootcamp assistant you may skip that because 10.7 has it. Once everything is set, use the Startup Disk control to write the Lion OS as the default for power on.
