Early Versions of Evernote (5.4.3)

[RobbieB 0]

Hiya,

Does anyone know where I can find old versions of Evernote?

I'm running 5.4.3 on an old Mac, but it recently stopped syncing due to what i believe is an SSL issue.

Quote

"An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made."

I tried logging out and logging in again, but it won't connect.

I want to try a slightly earlier/later version of the app as my Mac won't work with the latest version.

All the links I've found so far have either been broken or take me to the latest version.

TIA

Hi .  You appear to have been running a 10-year-old version of Evernote,  which is why it won't sync any more.  If you have been synced up to date,  theh it might be easier to sign in to your account via Evernote.com in your browser of choice,  which will give you access to all your synced notes.  If they are up to date it will be easier to download a current version - or as close as you can get with your MacOS version - and allow the app to recreate your account.

Correct and it is on an old Mac.

The new version of Evernote doesn't work on my OS.

This is why I am trying to find somewhere to download any older versions of Evernote. I'll then use the highest version that will work on the OS.

Check filehippo.  I’ve downloaded from there in the past although not recently.

...But also be aware that the older versions of Evernote will stop working at some unspecified time in the near-ish future.  You'll still have access to your notes - via the web app,  and/ or v10 - but your current version will finally stop.  You really need to decide whether to upgrade your tech,  or to move on to another app.  I appreciate that's a very personal and a budget issue,  but it is a cold,  hard fact.  What will you do when Evernote Legacy's lights go out?

Once the legacy versions (all of them) stop syncing, the probably best option will be the use of the web client.

Thanks very much for answering the question! Will try that :-)

Yup I'm well aware of all this.

The particular computer is using some specialist software that won't work on an OS upgrade.

I'm just trying to find an old version that I can get running on the particular machine so that I can try and sync some existing (unsynced) notes from that machine. It seemed a simpler approach that navigating the SSL issue that seems to be the cause.

The specific query is about finding older versions of the app - With most apps you can find legacy versions online somewhere to use as a temporary workaround.

Once that is done I'll not need to use the app on that particular machine. - I have another, more up to date Mac.

Yup, I'm just looking for a temporary workaround to sync some notes on a particular computer.

After that i'll not need Evernote on that machine - or will use the browser version

You're a star s2sailor!

Found it on Filehippo, thanks so much.

For anyone else searching, here's the link to the legacy versions of Evernote

Cheers again :-)

Glad it worked out.  Good luck moving your old notes over.
