Evernote For Windows Won't Sync (Troubleshooting)

[Fluffstah 1]

Evernote for windows won't sync for the last 2 weeks. I've tried everything I could find to solve the issue but nothing helped. Updated to the latest version if it makes a difference.

I'm using Windows 7 and I keep getting the exclamation mark on "sync". Never happened before. 

Any ideas on how to solve this? I tried logging in and out on all of my devices, uninstalling and reinstalling etc.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks for taking your time to read this.

Uninstalling/reinstalling and logging off/on doesn't change your local database, which is likely where the corruption is. See if this will help you figure out the issue:

1. Click the sync button. It will fail, but put fresh data in the log.
2. Click Help|Activity log.

Can you scroll through that and see if you see any errors? You might want to copy it to Notepad or something where you can more easily search.

If that doesn't help,

1. go to ALL of your notes - click ALL NOTES in upper left.
2. Make sure you are in List View - press the little dropdown next to the Search Notes box and make it Top List.
3. Right-click on the columns and ensure that "Sync" is checked. It will be very near the bottom.
4. Sort your notes by Updated - click the Updated column.

Now scroll through and look for recent notes that have a black dot. Those have NOT sync'd changes and may be holding up the sync process.

If you can find them, you can fix them by

1. Creating a new note
2. copying and pasting all data to the new note
3. delete the old note
4. delete the old note from the trash can. Corrupt notes in the trash can will still prevent syncing.
5. Wash, rinse, repeat.

If that doesn't help, you may need to contact support. There can be other issues in your database that can cause problems.

If you don't care about anything on your PC and are sure that your Evernote cloud has all of the data, you can:

1. log off of Evernote
2. Rename your Evernote.exb file - this is your local database. Or move it somewhere else, like your desktop.
3. Log in.

Evernote will redownload everything and create a new database. BUT YOU WILL LOSE ANY CHANGE NOT SYNC'D, and you will lose any notebooks you have designated as Offline only. So this is a last resort. If you have any offline only notebooks, you need to export those first, then import after you have let Evernote recreate the database.

Once you are up and running, and have confirmed you have all of your notes again, you can safely delete the Evernote.exb file you renamed or moved in step 2 above.

The last step finally worked!

I've tried troubleshooting and googled everything I could think of to solve the issue... and a simple forum post solved it. 

Thank you so much, hope you have an amazing rest of the week Ed
