How can I restore stickies which were not backed up on Time Machine?

I accidently deleted some text on a stickie note.  That note was not backed up in Time Machine. That text is also gone from the Stickies Database.  Everything that I read online leads me to believe that I can find this deleted text in this file... com.apple.Stickies.plist.  Is that correct? 
If so how do I retrieve this text?  Is there a tutorial somewhere?
The notes online say that I can open the file in Omni Outliner and then use NVU to convert it to text.  How does that work?
When I open the file in Omni Outliner, I get this...
Now what do I do?  Any help, or suggestions on how to recover this data, either using the method described above or otherwise, would be helpful.
Thank You.

Take a look at Pondini's excellent Time Machine data ... 
Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #28   ... which suggests where the file should be   ...  <home folder>/Library/Stickies database.

  • How can I restore my system to 2 days ago without Time Machine?

    I don't want to wipe the disc, just restore the settings to 2 days ago. Time Machine hadn't been set up yet.

    OS X doesn't have "System Restore" like on Windows where it's rather simple to revert the system/programs to a earlier state without affecting your files.
    Next time, prepare for this eventuality to occur and have both a TimeMachine and bootable clones, combined with your most precious files further backed up to cd's and dvd's if possible.

    I have just restored my Macbook Pro having had some applications corrupting it.

    HOW CAN I RESTORE AND GET MY CONTACTS BACK.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • I hear a lot of disk I/O from my iMac 1TB drive.  How can I see apps may be running in background?  Time Machine is not running.

    I hear a lot of disk I/O from my iMac 1TB drive.  How can I see apps may be running in background?  Time Machine is not running.

    If you wnat to see the applications that are running, open the Activity Monitor application (it's in /Applications/Utilities). After opening it, select "All Processes" above "Show" in the toolbar, and you will see all the processes that are running.
    I/O errors often happen on a damaged hard drive. If you are receiving that error, you should make a backup with Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner as soon as possible and take your Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get another hard disk.
    If the warranty is void, you can try installing it yourself, but note that there are some iMacs which are very difficult to have the hard drive replaced. Search the steps in iFixit > http://www.ifixit.com

  • Can I restore a new hard drive from a previous time machine back-up?

    Hi there,
    My MacBook Pro 13 inch is 4 years old.
    The computer began to freeze/stop working, so I took it to an Apple care centre and they informed that my hard drive has crashed and has to be replaced.
    Luckily, I backed up my old hard drive a few days before with an external hard drive using Time Machine. My question is: can I restore this new hard drive with my old time machine backup that is on my external hard drive? If so, how do I do this?
    Thanks

    Of course! If you couldn't, Time Machine would be rather worthless, now wouldn't it?

    i got a macbook pro 2008 and can not back up using time machine. it eject my external hard drive everytime. does anybody has a fix???

    Does your external hard drive have it's own power supply?  It should.
    Is your external hard drive formatted with the NTFS file system?  It won't work.
    It needs to be formatted either with Mac OS Extended or FAT32.
    (There are drivers available to add NTFS support to OS X but their quality is unknown, especially the "free" ones.)

    I just fix my macbook air because it was kernel panic. They changed the hard drive. I could not back up with Time Machine, because it did not work and I had over Adobe creative suite 5 design premium student. But I finished my studies last year and I'd like to know how to get the serial number for me to reinstall Adobe creative suite 5 design premium when I am no longer study because I would still like the used? It is not fair if I do anymore because I really need.

    You can download Creative Suite 5 here:

    To deal with the issue of the serial number and using it again, you'll have to use Web Chat. Here's a link:

    Hi,
    The purpose of In-Place hold is to use the Recoverable Items folder to preserve items.
    When user deletes items from Deleted Items folder, these items will go to Deletions which is a subfolder of Recoverable Items folder. After items exceed the deleted item retention period, they are moved to Purges subfolder and they will be retained until
    you remove hold.
    Here is an article which can help you to understand In-Place Hold for your reference.
