(Archived) Note mostly gone - have to pay to get it back?

[VuvuZ 0]

I've have a note that should be 8 or so pages long, it's the only really important document I need from Evernote (out of my 1300 or so other notes!) 

 

When I pulled up note, not accessed in a month or two I see that most of the note is missing, I have only about 1/2 a page of the multi page note now and the dreaded "Conflicting modification on" message at the bottom. 

 

My question is what happened?  

 

I don't see this note in a conflicting note notebook or anywhere on my system (I even did an egrep at the terminal level to try to find the missing text)  and the only option I see is view history that appears to be a premium only feature?? I have to pay $50 to get my note back????

 

How can I get my note back and thank god I have a printer hard copy. Obviously some type of conflict happened, I have evernote on my MacBook Air and Mac Mini but not most of the note is gone. Make me very weary to use this on multiple machines in the future. I'm sure this is not just an Evernote thing, I've had bad experiences with Byword too and conflicting changes, gotta remember to close down the program when you finish using it. Even 1password too but at least Dropbox had some type of versioning system  I could access and get my file back.

If you are seeing similar data integrity problems with:

• Evernote
• Byword
• 1password
• Dropbox

You might need to consider the problem lies, not with the software, but with a corrupt hard drive on your computer.

If you went premium for a month, it's FIVE dollars.

 

When you use a cloud, you need to remember to sync changes UP when done & sync changes DOWN before editing.  It sounds like you have a tendency to forget to do that.
