(Archived) Problems with unending "Migrating notes..."

[cdr6934 0]

I have a continuous migrating notes from previous version bar continually pop up every time that I am trying to use it. It makes it till about 90% and sits there for infinite amounts of time.

Here is the activity log for today :

Unsure what this means can you help?

Hi,

(If you are unable to open Evernote at all, you may skip to step 2.)

If you have some important Local Only or unsynced notes, be sure to read the directions at the end of this email to safeguard your information. Otherwise please try the following:

Please try moving your Evernote database directory so that Evernote will regenerate a new local database by copying your notes back down from the service. To do this:

1. Quit Evernote from the elephant icon in the menu bar.

2. In the finder, open the "Library" folder in your home directory. (This is in the directory with your name, NOT at the top level of your hard drive.)

3. Navigate to "Application Support"

4. Move the "Evernote" folder from that location to a different place (like the desktop)

5. Start Evernote, provide your username and password again if needed

This will synchronize all of your notes from the service and create a new local database.

*If you do have any Local Only notebooks, right-click the notebook name in the left-hand notebook pane and select "Export", then export the notebook to .enex format, exporting tags if desired. If you have some unsynchronized notes, you can go to the Note List view, sort by the "Sync" column, and export any notes that have a * in that column to .enex format before following the above instructions. Once those instructions are finished, you can then import the .enex files you created to restore these exported notes.

This fix does not work, after reboot when you first open Evernote it once again starts with "Migrating Notes From previous Version"

You can try this fix of yours all day, but the proof it does not fix anything comes after rebooting the Mac, perhaps you need to test this properly. I've applied this fix of yours several times but after reboot it's back each and every time.

I am not convinced it's an OSX Lion versioning problem either because I tried disabling versioning on Evernote with "defaults write com.evernote.Evernote NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false" and it has no effect on this bug.

Here's my activity log:

I suspect the issue is somehow specific to your computer and I strongly suggest you open a support ticket.

You should also realize that you've reopened a thread from October of 2010. Much has changed in the Mac Client since then (Not sure if these steps have, or have not)

Also, please watch your tone.

You can try this fix of yours all day, but the proof it does not fix anything comes after rebooting the Mac, perhaps you need to test this properly.

I did open a support ticket, then Evernote released 3.0.6 last week and I thought the problem was gone so I closed the ticket. But after reboot it's back. Happens on both my desktop Mac and Macbook Pro both running Lion. Will reopen a support ticket but their eventual reply was to do the exact above steps but this doesn't fix the problem.

It does not result in any data loss of any sort, it's just an annoying thing that's all.

I ran Evernote for a long time on Snow Leopard, never had this problem once, but since Lion it's there with each version Evernote pushes out ?? It could be something to do with Lion's new versioning features but as above my attempt to disable this had no effect.
