Recovering Notes After Evernote/ Mac Crash - Step-By-Step

[kcpleung 3]

Hi everyone, 

Earlier today my Mac crashed before I had a chance to sync a few new notes, 
and to my annoyance, once I logged back in the notes seemed to have 
vanished into thin air. After digging around in the temp files though, I was 
thankfully able to recover these precious notes. I'm sharing the steps here 
to potentially save others some headaches:

1. Go to the hidden Evernote folder:
    - Open Finder, and open "Go"/ "Go to Folder ..." from the menu bar
    - Type in " ~/Library/Containers/com.evernote.Evernote"

2. Inside this folder, go to "Data/Library/Application Support/ com.evernote.Evernote/accounts. 
You'll see a number of folders with cryptic numeric names -- each of these correspond to an account.
If you have multiple accounts, you'll have to dig around in here to figure out which folder corresponds to which account.

3. Go into the folder for the account in question, and open the 'content' folder. 
Each of the folders inside 'content' correspond to a note -- all unsynced notes will be here as well!
Use quicklook on the "snippet.txt" file to see the content of the note. To retrieve the note with formatting intact,
copy the note.xhtml file to another folder, rename it to '.html', open it in a browser, and then copy-paste back 
into Evernote. 

Hope this helps people, and let me know if you have any questions!
