(Archived) Evernote super slow when adding notes

[reddymademom 0]

I'm using Evernote V 5.4.1 on a MacBook Air (running OSx V 10.8.5).  I'm trying to add a lot of notes for Spanish Class in a quick manner.    Each note is 1-2 words so I'd like to rapidly type them in but when I click "New Note in Spanish Notebook" I can't quickly type b/c it's "connecting".  It appears as tho Evernote is trying to sync and that is causing the delay.  Eventually I get the beach ball of death and have to wait 1-2 minutes for evernote to resolve itself.  This hasn't happened in the past but has been occurring the last few weeks.  

 

I set the Syncing Preference to "Manual" but it appears to still be trying to sync in the background.  I tried turning off Wifi thinking it wouldn't try to connect w/ no internet.  Neither has worked in the least.  

 

Any way to completely stop the syncing so I can type in all my notes real fast and then sync when finished?

This doesn't sound good.  I'd recommend submitting a support ticket (www.evernote.com/contact/support).

 

BTW, what does this have to do with "iOS", since it's on your Mac?  You might want to update the title.
