Reversing Update?

[Neens 1]

Hi everyone!

 

I'm new here but I've been using Evernote for quite a while now. I absolutely loved it up until today. I made the horrible mistake of updating my current version. And I know that this might sound extremely superficial but I really, really hate the new layout. Can someone help me reverse the update? Is that even possible?

 

Thank you so much in advance!!

 

Take care!

Thanks for Captain Hindsighting me!

 

However, I am new to Evernote and wasn't aware of updates including layout changes and the need for a backup.

 

But hey... the more you know!

Oh, sorry. Sure! I'm using a Mac and OS X Yosemite.

Hi!  

 

I'm still waiting for a resolution. Do you have any advise for me?

 

Thanks in advance!!

In Windows, if you have a copy of the executable for an older version, back up your EN data, fully uninstall the current EN, and then  install the older version.  I believe this will also work for the Mac version.  Be careful.

Thank you for the advise but unfortunately it didn't work.  

 

I'll just have to get used to the new layout, I guess...

The process works in Windows, sorry it doesn't on the Mac.

That's quite alright. Not the end of the world!

 

Thanks for your help!!

My solution is to write down the upgrade version # and date, then add a reminder in Evernote to consider installing the upgrade 1 month down the road to the middle of January. During that time, I watch this forum for user comments. 

 

For example, I have seen a lot of recent posts about (1.) sync problems and (2.) notes disappearing. They might not be due to the upgrade, but I don't want to risk it.

 

If these comments continue, I will push the upgrade date out another month to the middle of February.

 

Also, I always make sure to have a full Evernote backup before attempting the upgrade. (Actually, I keep a set of Evernote backups.)

Thanks for the extra info - did you manage to sort this out,  or are you still waiting for a resolution?
