MsRotten 0 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Can anyone please tell me why it is that I keep getting a "Can't connect to server. Please try again later", message when trying to get into my OFFLINE evernote? I do not want to have to go to evernote's website to do what I need to do on my evernote. Thanks in advance.

Level 5* gazumped 11,663 Posted February 20, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted February 20, 2015 Evernote is trying to sync to ensure that you have the latest versions of your notes. What version of Evernote are you using? iOS / Mac / Android / Windows 7 / 8 / Touch?? Link to comment
MsRotten 0 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 I can't see how it's trying to sync when I'm not even logged in. I don't know what version of Evernote that I have. But when I check for updates, it states that I have the latest version and that there are no new updates. I'm on my desktop computer which is using Windows XP. Any other ideas? Thanks.

MsRotten 0 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Okay.....I did what it said to do; unchecked the one I should, and checked the one I needed to. Re-booted my PC, and I'm still getting the "Can't connect to server. Please try again later", message. Link to comment
Level 5* GrumpyMonkey 4,319 Posted February 22, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted February 22, 2015 Is it your first installation of the app? If so, I think you have to log in one time. After that, Evernote is OK, assuming it has downloaded any notes in your account. Link to comment

MsRotten 0 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 This is not my first intallation of Evernote. I have had Evernote since Dec of 2008. I'm using it on my desktop computer with the OS of Windows XP. I have already done the SSL 3.0 fix after Gaz suggested it. The desktop computer that I am currently on (and typing this from) is my 'old' computer. About 3.5 years ago, I bought an Acer laptop with the OS of Windows 7 in which I also have Evernote on. I have NO problems with my OFFLINE Evernote on my laptop. My laptop recently 'crapped out' and until I can get it fixed/replaced, I am back on my old desktop PC. I should also note, that prior to currently having problems signing onto my OFFLINE Evernote on my old PC, I had never had this problem before (on my old PC). Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,663 Posted February 23, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted February 23, 2015 There seems to be a suggestion that Service Pack 3 and at least IE8 are required for XP access - this post may help > https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/101867943 Link to comment
