it was so confusing when I set it to synch with iCloud it removed all the entries from the MacBook calendar. Then it said in order to synch with the phone by cable it is necessary to turn off contacts and calendars in iCloud Drive. When I did that all of my old contacts and and calendars...

I use only the Mac based calendar and contacts, no 3rd party apps. Isn't it supposed to synch when you connect the two devices? It even has check box to synch calendars and contacts. Are you saying that I need to be using iCloud in order to synch the devices?

I'm having issues when I sync my iPhone 13 to my MacBook Air (OSX 13.3). I have double checked that every box is checked to sync my calendar and contacts from the MacBook to the iPhone and tried it through wi-fi and connected cable but the info doesn't copy over. My iPhone calendar is empty but...

I'm having similar issues when I sync my iPhone 13 to my MacBook Air (OSX 13.3). I have double checked that every box is checked to sync my calendar and contacts from the MacBook to the iPhone and did it through wi-fi and connected cable and the info doesn't copy over. My iPhone calendar is...

That did it! THANK YOU. I was able to find all of my missing stickies by using this very hidden but effective method. Why they make it so difficult to find these files I don't know but you really helped me. Have a great week!

I appreciate your efforts and time taken. I'm at the end of this too.

I did try it that way and it didn't show in the backups.

I had Ventura 13.1 on the MacBook when it refused my user PW for software updates. Mac tech couldn't figure it out and the Apple Store couldn't either so they erased the entire computer and reinstalled Ventura with the update to 13.3. My latest backups before the restore were in Ventura 13.1 so...

I tried it like you wrote but there is no Library folder under Users in the Time Machine backup and it doesn't have Library in Show View Options on the backups. None of the Backups except the one done today have the Library option. I feel like I've hit dead end other than restoring my user file...

Thank you, wow, deep dive to find that. Unfortunately the only stickie note there is the new one that I created since the reinstall. Should I be able to find the old data on my Time Machine Backup? Do you know how to find it on the last good backup?

That would be great BUT for some reason when I go to User/my name/ there is no Library folder, only these: so I am very confused where to turn. I have looked at every single folder for Library and nothing has Container or anything to do with Stickies.

if you mean administrator, yes. If you mean something else I am not clear as to what that is.

none exists in mine, running Ventura OSX 13.3, M1 chip MacBook air

Okay, thanks. It's a real treasure hunt to find the file in the Time Machine backups IF it even exists.

I have done a spotlight search on the backup disk and many "files and folders" come up but nothing seems to contain the old stickie notes. There are PDFs of the ones that were made into PDFs, but not the active ones. Would .plist be correct, as there are several called that?

I'm not clear what you mean by "sped the disk"? The Apple Store techs erased the hard drive and did a clean install of Ventura 13.3. Then they restored from my latest Time Machine backup but not a full restore, just choosing specific folders so as not to re-install any corrupt files or data.

tech support and the Apple Store techs couldn't figure out what was happening so they erased it and reinstalled Ventura with the .3 update. Now all of my stickies are gone after doing the Time Machine restore.

All of my stickies have disappeared. I searched the database here and there were similar issues in 2012 for OSX 10.5 to 10.6 upgrade. It mentioned user/library/ stickies.database but there is no LIBRARY in my HD under my user name. I looked at every file I could for that database and it is...

OK, got it now. In the meantime I did the upgrade to Ventura, got through some update issues with that, but now all is fine. I don't download any Intel apps, only ones configured for M1 chip and later. thanks for your advice.

I guess that I neglected to state that my older Macbook Air (2020) is an M1 chip, not intel, so the way to enter recovery that you wrote doesn't work on mine. Nor did the Diagnostics method work. I finally restarted by holding the power key down until I go the options gear icon and did an OSX...
