(Archived) Clipping

[Dianne 0]

I started Evernote 2 days ago on a Vista Laptop, with no other devices. When I try to clip, I get a message either to Sync, or to log in, which make no sense since I am logged in on my one Evernote device. Also, when I try to report the problem via the Support link, the problem submission never takes effect. Help.

Hi and welcome to the forums.  I run Evernote on Vista too.  Exactly what does the message say?  Presumably you're online when you see a web page and use a browser add-in to clip a selection or the whole page.  If you're using Clearly,  that's a separate app from Evernote,  and it's asking for your Evernote login details so it can send the clip to your notes.

 

-You're presumably aware that Evernote will keep the 'original' version of all your notes on their server as a backup for the copy that's kept on your laptop?  You'll need to sync reasonably regularly to make sure you can see all your current notes.

The message I get is: "A sync is required before any clipping can be done. Please use the Evernote application to sync then try clipping again." 

I do not know how to do that?

Also, my husband does not have to sync when he clips to his Evernote using Mozilla or Chrome running on Vista.

Why not just sync and get rid of the message?

Click Sync or F9

Because I cannot find a sync button.
