idoc 413 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 I am using Legacy on a win 7 machine and when I try to sync I see a red exclamation mark next to the sync. I have tried signing out and in, exiting, restarting the computer etc. I also have v10 running on a win 10 machine and an iphone and that is working fine. I've used Legacy on that win 7 machine for years and have never seen a sync error before. Just wondering if this a bad prognostic indicator for Legacy in general or just something local to my particular computer. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,074 Posted June 25, 2023 Level 5* Share Posted June 25, 2023 Well Microsoft stopped supporting win 7 some time ago, and Evernote won't support legacy so you may never know! It's possible that excess traffic caused a problem, but you've already been through the standard 'fixes'. I'd give it a day or so and try again. I do have a win 10 laptop that still runs legacy, so AFAIK no official steps have been taken to limit things. At least you can (presumably) still use the Web version? Link to comment
idoc 413 Posted June 25, 2023 Author Share Posted June 25, 2023 Yes, I have the web version but I also have win 10 machines running v10 (I use both concurrently for various reasons). Anyway, the problem resolved itself after a few hours. I was a bit concerned because anytime I see anything unusual happening on legacy I always assume it's the writing on the wall. For various reasons, which I've elaborated elsewhere, I still use Legacy for certain tasks and so am keeping a careful eye on it. It's becoming less important to me as I very slowly discover workarounds and hacks to those things that I don't like about v10. For example, a few days ago I posted the solution for how to export large numbers of files from v10 and then to batch aggregate them with Acrobat. A use case which may not interest many but was a severe stumbling block for me with v10 (easy with Legacy). After months of queries to tech support and the assistance of many on this forum I stumbled across the workaround. For these reasons I feel that I will be able to free myself from Legacy very soon. 1 Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,833 Posted June 25, 2023 Level 5 Share Posted June 25, 2023 The writing for legacy IS on the wall. But I expect at least a final warning before serving the old syncing engine is abandoned. 1 Link to comment
