My Story
Well, this has happened to me more than once! And this little trick has come handy both times as I usually have a lot of info on my dashboard stickies! And I think everybody does. It's just because they're always there for quick notes!
Anyways, after doing a clean installation of OS X Mavericks (or Yosemite.. or more recently, El Capitan; or even more recently, MacOS Sierra) about a week ago, today, I needed my stickies back! I had an account login on one of them (talk about security and privacy! Right!? lol ) And I didn't want a full backup restoration. It felt like 'what's the point of a clean installation if I put everything back in it!?' Although it is not really the case!
