(Archived) Evernote Crashing on Startup

Idea

I've been using Evernote for a few months now and worked fine until recently. Everytime it starts up it crashes. I've tried reinstalling, uninstalling and clearing all files. Nothing seems to make it better. Here is the crash log:

Please try installing the release candidate of our upcoming version 1.5:

Quit Evernote from the Menu Bar

Drag the Evernote Application to the Trash

Reboot

Download and install: http://www.evernote.com/about/download/ ... releaseMac

If that doesn't help, try deleting your saved Evernote settings by running the Mac "Terminal" application and then type this command:

defaults delete com.evernote.Evernote

Let us know if this helps.

Dave, thanks for you're response. I followed your steps and uninstalled and installed the new version of Evernote and it crashed on opening too. I reset the defaults and it cleared out my preferences (it asked me to login then instantly crashed). Neither suggestion worked, any more?

It seems like it opens fine until it tries to draw the first preview of a text note and then crashes right after.

Here is the full log from the crash (its too long to post here)

Part 2: http://shortText.com/cxvjbpicm

Anything you can do to help, I'd be very grateful.

Cheers

Please try upgrading to the latest release (version 1.5.0) and then reboot. If you still see the problem after that, try running the Mac "Console" application and grab the last dozen "Evernote" lines you see before the crash.

Thanks

Dave,

I tried installing the new version again and it crashed again, here is the console:

Here is the solution that worked for me:

If you don't have any important notes that have not been synchronized to the service*, you can try the following:

Please try moving your Evernote database directory so that Evernote will regenerate a new local database by copying your notes back down from the service. To do this:

Quit Evernote.

In the finder, open the "Library" folder in your home directory. (This is in the directory with your name, NOT at the top level of your hard drive.)

Navigate to "Application Support"

Move the "Evernote" directory from that location to a different place (like the desktop)

Start Evernote, provide your username and password again if needed

This will synchronize all of your notes from the service and create a new local database.

*If you do have some unsynchronized notes, you can go to the Note List view, sort by the "Sync" column, and export any notes that have a * in that column to .enex format before following the above instructions. Once those instructions are finished, you can then import the .enex files you created to restore these exported notes.
