re: My iphone 4 just deleted all my contacts

No icloud. She only had the one device and did not require syncing, and never turned icloud on. I backed up the 4 with itunes and restored to the 6 and got no notes. I called apple and they said notes were backed up on icloud, so when I turned on icloud, guess what happens, notes are deleted from the device. She had a older IOS and never got a good backup, I guess.
