How to Setup?

Before running the script, you have to first download the following 3 x FREE packages:

   1. SQLite ODBC driver
       http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/

   2. iPhuc Utility
       http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/downloads/detail?name=iPhuc%20Windows.rar&can=2&q=

   3. iOutNotes
       http://code.google.com/p/ioutnotes/downloads/list

onto your M$ Outlook-installed Windows machine.


Then perform the following 5 steps to let the solution works for you.

   1. Install SQLite ODBC driver

   2. Extract iOutNotes in a temporary directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\iOutNotes) on your PC

   3. Extract all files in the directory iPhuc Windows of the iPhuc archive in the same directory of iOutNotes

   4. Connect your iPhone to your PC

   5. Execute the batch file iOutNotes.bat or the script iOutNotes.vbs

If Outlook asks you for access permission, just tick the box to Allow access for 1 Minute and press OK

            


As always, BACKUP is one of the critical things to do when making changes. The script will automatic keep the five latest versions of the notes.db and the LOG file.


The additional iOutNotesDaemon script is written to be run in the background and automatic launch iOutNotes after each iTunes Sync.

   1. Execute the iOutNotesDaemon.bat or iOutNotesDaemon.vbs to start up the background service

   2. Execute the iOutNotesDaemon.bat or iOutNotesDaemon.vbs again to terminate the background service


Note: This procedure only holds for version 1.0b or later
              For earlier version, please refer to "How to do it Manually?"

How to do it MANUALLY?

*** The following *OLD* manual procedure is valid for all versions of iOutNotes ***

Before running the script, you have to first download and install the following 3 x FREE packages:

   1. SQLite ODBC driver
      http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc/

   2. iPhone file browser
      http://i-funbox.com/

   3. iOutNotes
      http://code.google.com/p/ioutnotes/downloads/list

onto your Windows machine. The Windows machine is certainly the one running your M$ Outlook because the script talks to Outlook directly instead of reading the PST file.


Then perform the following 6 steps to let the solution works for you.

   1. Install SQLite ODBC driver

   2. Install ifunbox

   3. Extract iOutNotes in a temporary directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\iOutNotes) on your PC

   4. Use ifunbox to "Copy To PC" the notes.db file from the folder

            /private/var/mobile/Library/Notes/

         of your iPhone into your Windows' folder where iOutNotes.vbs is located

   5. Run (aka Double click) the batch file iOutNotes.bat or the script iOutNotes.vbs

         If Outlook asks you for access permission, just tick the box to Allow access for 1 Minute and press OK

            

   6. Use ifunbox to "Copy From PC" the new notes.db file to your iPhone which in turn overwrites the original


** IMPORTANT **

The new notes.db file has to be "Copy From PC" and overwrites the old file, because it will save you time in changing the access permission of the file. Otherwise, you may have to change the file permission to 0775 by using the MobileTerminal or SSH.

"Overwrite" means the old notes.db file must be present when you do "Copy From PC" using ifunbox.

As always, BACKUP is one of the critical things to do when making changes.
