manuzhang 0 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I had been happily using Evernote to take notes everywhere. Nonetheless, a moment ago I accidentally overwrote all my notes when pressing on ctrl+v to do some copy and paste. After autosaving...I lost all my previous data...what the hell! What can I do now? It seems that I can not get it back without upgrading. It's disheartening... Link to comment
BurgersNFries 2,407 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 You didn't mention which client you're using. If you're using the web client, I believe you can toggle this on/off in the upper right corner, when editing the note.Although I don't use the web version often, I like this feature. It's very nice when you're composing a note & get distracted & then your computer locks up or gets shut down, BSOD, etc. Link to comment
manuzhang 0 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Yes, I'm using the web client. Of course, autosaving is an awesome feature, but not in my case. What's made me pissed off is that evernote took advantage of my vulnerability: it's no longer free when I got into trouble. Link to comment

What's made me pissed off is that evernote took advantage of my vulnerability: it's no longer free when I got into trouble."Took advantage of your vulnerability??? It's no longer free when you get into trouble???" (shakes head.) AFAIK, it's never been free to get note history, which, BTW, wasn't even a feature until April of last year. If that pisses you off so much, then simply do what you'd have done last year at this time & accept the fact that you didn't turn auto save off & you goofed up. Can't tell you how many times I've lost data & would have been overjoyed at the opportunity to get it back. Paying only $5 would be the cherry on top. If you don't want to spend the money, that's fine. But EN offering that option is certainly not "taking advantage of your vulnerability." Link to comment

manuzhang 0 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Pay $5 every month with my mum's credit card? Anyway, I'm still using it. But it's not irreplaceable and needs improving as long as there's some unhappy customer Link to comment
Level 5* Metrodon 2,188 Posted March 10, 2011 Level 5* Share Posted March 10, 2011 So you made a mistake and/or did not configure the software you are using correctly and it's Evernote's fault? Link to comment
manuzhang 0 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 So you made a mistake and/or did not configure the software you are using correctly and it's Evernote's fault?Yes, I did make a mistake. Also, I need autosaving and for most of time it's good. But what if I really want my old versions back? Link to comment

But what if I really want my old versions back?Then you upgrade your account to premium. You can spend $5 for a single month to do this. If it's not worth $5 to you, then the data you lost probably isn't all that important. I don't know why you seem to think you're entitled to this option for free. Conceivably, one can use Evernote daily for years without paying a single cent. However, there are some features that they do offer for people who pay them money. Note history happens to be one of those "pay to play" features. Link to comment

Thank you for you guys, and I guess there's something called culture difference. Link to comment
