(Archived) FIXED: Evernote Mac 5.0.5 Freezing on launch

[Jackolicious 808]

If your Mac 5.0.5 will not launch or is freezing when entering full screen mode, follow these steps:

 

1. Close Evernote 5.0.5 entirely (also close the toolbar Helper)

2. Install Evernote 5.0.4 from here: http://cdn1.evernote.com/mac/release/Evernote_400704.dmg

3. Run Evernote 5.0.4

4. Exit full screen (this is important)

5. Update Evernote again from the menu: Evernote -> Check for Updates...

6. Feel free to enter full screen mode again after the upate

 

Reason: We hit an OSX bug where an alert dialog can stop an app going into full screen.
