I'm using Snow Leopard (10.6.2) and need to export all my Stickies notes. The only tip I have found is to go to File -> Print All Notes as PDF.
But there is no Print All Notes subMenu!
I also found in MacOSXHints an AppleScript. It didn't work.
Does anybody know of a way to export them?

Most importantly i got a new ipodtouch also and im wondering if anyone know how to transfer the stickie notes from my old ipod to new ipod?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know i can cut-paste files, like images or pdfs, onto a sticky note.
Is there a way I can import another sticky note into one ?
can anyone suggest an mac os x app (or mac os x-supported software like OpenOffice et cet.) that will allow me to create marginal or anchored notes in a text document?
i am not interested in MS WORD, not out of any ideological dislike of gates or ms word, et cet. (although i do not like word), but i am tired of paying steep prices for it and upgrades and wish a simpler program for someone who writes, period. i do not need 90% of word's features (although it, and openoffice alternative, does have the "insert note" on reviewing toolbar i like - see below)
if anyone is familiar with what is called "critical apparatus", it would allow me to add what are essentially footnotes in a visible (Jer's Novel Writer) or invisible (WORD and OpenOffice) notes to the text. (btw: here is what i mean: [URL] and click on screenshot at bottom right of screen)
such a feature would be immensely helpful for some translation projects i am doing as well "to check" reminders within creative projects, from essays to novels.
i may be wrong but i don't think bookmarks are what i want and i prefer to avoid footnotes or endnotes (yes - i am selfish. i want it all) although a footnote is not so terrible a work-around.
i have looked at following options in respective apps:
postit/stickies type note - openoffice has a WORD type feature (like the critical apparatus popup window in url above) which is accessible but i would love to have a smaller simpler program to do this
marginal notes - i love Jer's Novel Writer for this but if you write a long note or lots of notes anchored to the same small stretch of text, these marginal notes become cumbersome and piled on top of each other in the margin, unless there is a way to do this i am doing wrong. (am open to suggestions how to use JNW better. i have not written to Jer - maybe i'll do this)
flags: supernotecard has flags but limits them to one per card where a card is funtionally synonomous with a paragraph. thus one can not annotate multiple words in same paragraph with individual markers
links: i am using DEVONthink more and more as a word processor with its multiple windows, database/search/concordance capabilities and extremely rewarding flexibility. i could use their links to separate windows but don't like this as much.similarly voodoopad does this well but same objection
separate windows: many programs facilitate a new window that could hold my notes. they are not anchored or easily tied to the text in question without altering the text, e.g., DEVONthink, Smultron, et cet.
i think i have looked at almost everything, i think, e.g., supernotecard, notemind, nova mind, tinderbox, notetaker (which i love), ulysses, avenir, z-writer, scrivener, smultron, textwrangler, subethaedit, mi, copywrite, bean, textmate (a great "project format" for composite documents like journal or book with chapters), mellel, mariner, JNW (which i also love), nisus, tex-edit plus, all the omnigroup apps, journler, storyist, writeroom, abiword, but may have missed something. programs like curio (which i like, along with omnigrapple pro) and mindburn are not really what i need either.
i guess if i knew enough i could write an applescript within some of these programs. but i am not very facile with scripting and do not want to take the time to become so. i do not think TeX et al. are the way to go and the same comment about time versus learning curve applies.
So i've recently gotten in the uploading to YouTube craze with my Flip Mino HD but i'm not too happy at the way i've been doing this and am hoping there is an easier way.
As of late i've been importing what i film into iMovie. In iMovie i'll edit the video to my liking. In iMovie i'll "export" to the media browser so it'll show up in GarageBand. Then i'll open GarageBand and edit my film further, dealing with sound; adding music. After that i'll export it as a .MOV to my desktop. Then i'll open iMovie again and import that .MOV file and from there in iMovie will have it upload to YouTube in its original HD format.
Now I've had my mac for quite some time but I have never been able to figure out the purpose of the stickies app. What I wanted to know is, if it is possible to have multiple stickies on your desktop at one time? If so, how do I apply this? Can the stickies float on your desktop, or do I use dashboard to get multiple stickies? I am quite confused with this one.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am a switcher trying to learn the ropes and have a Macbook laptop 10.4.10 OSX.
The first time I opened stickies, I created a new sticky and all was going well. Then I saved it. It got saved as a text file, and the sticky disappeared.
Now when I open a new sticky, it is invisible. I know it is there because in View it shows an untitled sticky. If I choose a particular color of sticky, I can see that in the View as well, but no actual sticky on screen.
What am I doing wrong?
My apologies if I have opened the thread in the wrong category. This is my first post on the forum and this seemed like the best way to start it.
My stickies won't work anymore. The notes are invisible, and when I try to create a new one, nothing happens. I press F10 and it just shows me all the windows of the previous application I was working on. I think I need to reinstall it, but I can't find it anywhere for download.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use a Mac Book Pro -Intel - running 10.4.11. Was using Word and Excel and had some large items on the clipboard when the computer froze. Could not get the frozen applications to force quit, nor would the computer restart or shutdown from the menu, so I pushed the "on" button, waited 20 seconds or so, then started up. Stickies had disappeared! I had a lot (not the max, but a lot). So far I've searched for stickies using spotlight, verified disk permissions, deleted the stickies preferences & database, checked permissions on "get info", looked for recovered files, to no avail. All I get is the welcome: how to use stickies. I know now that I should have backed them up - but I didn't. So - are they forever lost?
View 7 Replies View RelatedMy Stickies app has many out-of-date sticky notes. How do I delete them?
I tried searching Stickies
I tried deleting the app. No joy! Was informed that app "was required by OS X".
Surely there must be a way to get rid of unwanted sticky notes!
Info:
iMac (21.5-inch Late 2009), OS X Mavericks (10.9)
I have about 10 stickies in the Dashboard with info on them. Initially all of the info disappeared (the stickies remained, but blank). I added all the info back in and this morning 7 of them are blank while 3 of them still show the info I typed in.

Both Photo Booth and Stickies no longer work! Here's what my Mac is telling me:
"You can't use this version of the application Photo Booth with this version of Mac OS X. You have Photo Booth 2.0.3."
And
"You can't use this version of the application Stickies with this version of Mac OS X. You have Stickies 6.0."
At the beginning of November I opened my stickies and a song I had been working on was gone. I have had data recovery attempt to find the lost stickie, but 1) it was not saved as a text file, 2) it is no longer in the stickies database, and 3) I do not currently have time machine. Basically, everyone told me I was screwed except the top of the line place in California who wants to charge me $1500 to just attempt to get it back, with no gurantee. Is there anyway I can recover a deleted stickie? Or is there anyway to restore the stickies database/my computer back to a date when I know the stickie there?
