no way to click on "sync now"

[S Dan Bailey 0]

For the last year, i have been dealing with sync issues between my Macbook and iPhone.  It doesn't matter how long I wait, I have duplicate Notes created at least 2 to 3 times a week.  Very frustrating.  In MS One Note they have an option in the dropdown menu called "Sync All Notebooks".   Why doesn't Evernote offer that as an option.   Otherwise, I love the app!!!

iOS: App settings, synchronization, sync now.

Mac: Hold down opt, click on Help menu, select Troubleshooting, select Reload or Force Reload. Or use the keyboard shortcuts.

@PinkElephant Thanks!   So do I need to do that every time I access my Evernote on a different device?   Painful

I used to have sync issues until a couple of upgrades ago. 

You dont have to manually sync everytime you open EN. It syncs automatically when you open, which is why in some cases it can take a little too long to open. The manual sync is there just in case some notes dont get synced in time - poor connectivity or note too heavy - then you force a sync immediately.

Definitely not... At least I don't. I have copies of my Evernote data on 5 devices. I manually refresh every once in a while on my iPhone, but I've never had to do it on my Macs or Windows machines.

These procedures are used only if the automatic sync does not work. Usually (for me) it does.
