How to bring back Mac Notes from external drive? I recently erased my hard drive and installed Sierra from USB flash, to start fresh.
Before doing this, I copied the main 3 files of Notes to external drive.
These are: NotesV6.storedata, NotesV6storedata-shm, NotesV6storedata-wal
I copied them from: com.Apple.Notes>Data>Library>Notes

I drag the existing V6 files to the desktop, and instead I paste the copied ones from external drive.But nothing happens.
I'm probably doing something wrong...
You probably need to enable the "on my computer" account first. In retrospect you should probably have used iCloud for storing your notes instead.
