mblair79 0 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hello, all! Like many of you, I use Evernote across a number of platforms. Lately, I'm finding that when I untag certain notes, those tags reappear on other devices after a short time. Syncing seems to bring them back, in other words. Any ideas on what I can do to prevent this problem? Link to comment
Level 5 jbenson2 2,147 Posted April 2, 2014 Level 5 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm not sure what you mean by "untag certain notes". In the Windows client, when you right click the tag, you have the option toRemove - removes the tag from an individual note Delete - deletes the tag and removes it from all notes Rename - edits the spelling of a tag After the tag has been altered, I do a manual forced sync (F9) Link to comment
mblair79 0 Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Thanks for the quick reply. What I mean is, I'll remove a tag from an individual note, and then I'll sync the changes with the server just as you do. But later, I'll discover that the tag has been reapplied to that note, despite the changes and syncing. Link to comment
mblair79 0 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 The more research I do, particularly on this forum, the more I learn about sync issues that took place in March with a new Evernote version, where not all changes were syncing properly across platforms. Could this be related? Is it still an issue? Link to comment
mblair79 0 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 On closer inspection, what it looks like I'm seeing is an incomplete sync. I've been using Evernote since 2012, and in that time I've collected a lot of clutter; at the moment, I have 4,789 notes. But they're mainly text, so I'm well within the quotas for a free account. When I run a sync, I get no pop-up errors, and I don't see anything troubling in my activity log. However, after running my most recent sync, I sorted all my notes by the sync tab. It appears I have 598 that are listed as unsynced. Link to comment
mblair79 0 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 A quick glance at my Evernote account on different platforms also shows different totals for how many notes I have at the moment (iOS 4,792, Windows 8 4,789, web 4,787). Link to comment
mblair79 0 Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Upgraded to the new version this morning, but the problem persists. Link to comment
mblair79 0 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 I think I've managed to resolve this issue by creating new copies of each of the notes that wasn't syncing, and deleting the originals after confirming that everything was copying over smoothly. If you're having the same issue, give that a try. Link to comment
