OS X Note's won't open! I am running OS X 10.8.5 and notes froze last night and when I tried to open it again I got NSSQLiteError Domain error 8 (see attachment screenshot). I really need the contents of what is in notes, its really important to me. Usually I back them up but they are not backed up right now. I need help with this. I restarded my computer twice but no luck!

I looked into the issue and have seen it before on Google but I want to know if I can recover the data I might have lost.

I went into console and gathered the most recent crash:

"9/24/15 9:11:25.193 AM Notes[761]: Notes framework failed to load Notes persistent store: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=256 "The file couldn’t be opened." UserInfo=0x7f8b8ca0e130 {NSSQLiteErrorDomain=266, NSUnderlyingException=I/O error for database at /Users/natbmw2/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/NotesV1.storedata. SQLite error code:266, 'disk I/O error' errno:34}"

Any advice? Its also worth noting mail, calender and contents won't open in preferences either.

I really need some of the notes I have in the Notes app. I put some things down that I don't remember. I really could use some help I'm panicking a bit.

(heres what I originally read: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4800166?start=0&tstart=0 Same exact issues)
