Melanippe13 0 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Just switched over from an old 2012 MacBook Pro to a 2017 MacBook Pro. When I downloaded Evernote, it came up with only a third of my notes and had deleted whole folders. I tried to troubleshoot though this site, and dug through the Trash folder, but none of my lost notes were there. It's like the backup was from a year ago and it just didn't save anything I've done recently. Does anyone have any advice on how I can get my stuff back? Link to comment

Melanippe13 0 Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 Local Notebooks... do you mean the difference between Private and Shared? That's the option it gives me when I try and make a new one? Anyway, I checked the Master copy online and a huge number of notes are still missing, even in the folders that show up. For example, one folder which had several hundred, has inexplicably reduced itself to one note. A note made in 2015. Link to comment

Melanippe13 0 Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Thank you for the link. One thing the article didn't mention: if I just open a new Folder does it default to Local or not Local? Unfortunately, this is the only account I have with Evernote. I even checked all of my other email addresses, but there were no bites. Link to comment
