Vilnyace 0 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 So, I'm trying to figure out how to create a local notebook and there seems to be very little information about it except how to create one. Which doesn't work in my case. Edit: I'm speaking of the EN on OS X El Capitan 10.11.1, latest version. Incase you didn't recognise from the screenshot.. Here's a screenshot of when I try to create a new local notebook trough the menu -> file -> new notebook -> : http://imgur.com/N1FS53n So, is this normal, a bug, or because of I am on basic evernote and I need to pay to unlock a local notebook feature?

Level 5* Metrodon 2,184 Posted November 24, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted November 24, 2015 It's not a paid option and you are doing the right thing so it looks like something strange is happening with your system. Have you tried restarting the app and your mac? If so and it's still the same then you should probably try a reinstall. Link to comment

Also I tried evernote from Apple store. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,664 Posted November 24, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted November 24, 2015 Weird. Maybe this is not a pad option? Local Notebooks require permanent local storage and certainly mobiles don't get this. Evernote's help pages only mention Windows and Mac options - nothing for iOS. Link to comment

Are you using the latest version (6.2)? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,664 Posted November 24, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted November 24, 2015 Doh. My only exercise these days is jumping to conclusions... sorry. Link to comment
Vilnyace 0 Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Anyone? Should I just write a well composed message to EN support and expect an answer eventually? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,664 Posted November 27, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted November 27, 2015 Dunno about a well-composed message, but a support ticket would seem like a good idea - the guys have Thanksgiving off (apparently) so there might be a bit of a lag - meantime there seems to be a(nother) new Beta version out which might be worth a try... https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/90560-evernote-for-mac-63-beta-1-released/ If you do install that and still have problems, trying raising the query in that thread too!

Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,117 Posted November 27, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted November 27, 2015 I've restarted my macbook, Evernote, and reinstalled. Also I tried evernote from Apple store. Sounds like you'd done all the easy fixes. You may now want to try a clean reinstall. This often fixes issues with missing/corrupt files.I would stick with the Direct D/L version.

Palash Davé 2 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hi all. FYI, the latest instruction as of September 2017 is that if you want to create a Local Notebook in Evernote Desktop for Mac, you need to hold down the alt/option key while clicking on the "File" menu in the menu bar. Only then will the option to create "New Local Notebook" appear (directly underneath "New Notebook"). Source: Link to comment

gabemastey 0 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Good catch @Palash Davé! The official help site says its in the usual place but its not: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005107 As a result I've been unable to make local notebooks for about a week. EN has been slowly "disappearing" this feature, and I'm sure the end goal is for them be cloud-only in the near future. It's a shame, because I don't want mine or my company's data to be stored in the cloud, and I'll have to move away from EN if that happens. Link to comment
toao 148 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 same here - if they kill local notebooks I am gone...it's weird, I would have thought they finally got the message about data privacy when they announced they would read selective notes and then retracted after the outroar....would be a sad day and I am pretty sure we are not alone with that thought.... also weird there is still no option to encrpyt entire notebooks...it's almost as if evernote was planning to monetize us and our data as google monetizes search and email data....

More details below on the menu change And despite @toao‘s claims, I’m not reading anything into the menu change other than trying to protect users Make sure you backup your local notebooks; the data is not sync’d/backed up by Evernote Link to comment
Level 5* JMichaelTX 4,117 Posted October 9, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted October 9, 2017 FWIW, I had no problem creating a local NB just now, running Evernote 6.11.1 (455059) on macOS 10.11.6. Link to comment
