This was happening on my Windows laptop, but right after I posted, it happened on my Android version of Evernote too. I don't see reinstalling would help, since it sounds like a server-side issue.

Hi, thanks. I'm using:

10.27.5-mac-ddl-public (3122)
Editor: v137.1.17455
Service: v1.44.3
 

I've been getting the "lots of duplicates" problems multiple times since around May 2023. Using the Windows version 10.57.10.

Maybe we should request the option that when the AI cleans up a note, it makes it as a NEW note and leaves the old one intact. If this was Word we'd be calling it "Save As..."

After installing the new version of Evernote for Windows, the encrypted text can still be revealed as before (although its unformatted and uneditble, as described in about a dozen other threads.)

But when I open the same note in Evernote for Android, and try to reveal the same text, I get the error "The passphrase you entered is incorrect."  I doublechecked by doing it several times on Windows and Android, but it just does not accept the passphrase.

I just discovered something else: if the text is currently revealed in Windows, then I can reveal it in Android.

I found a simpler method: Simply boot the laptop from the external drive instead of the internal one. (There are plenty of websites that explain how). This has the benefit of giving me access to everything on the old drive.

You could sign out of the account on the working laptop and when the sign in panel appears go to Evernote options and set the location for EN as the external drive location.  Not sure this works but not too hard to try. 

You can also move the EXB from the broken laptop to the same folder as the EXB on the working laptop, sign out of working, sign in to broken, sync to complete the update on broken and sign out.

What is EXB? Is that the database of notes?  Also, what folder is it in?

Hi.  So dead computer A had Evernote installed and you have access to the drive;  current computer B has a 'different' account installed (with its own user account name and password?) but can read A's hard drive.

Use the Evernote from computer A login on computer B's account,  you'll download a copy of the synced account A material from Evernote's servers.

Log out of Evernote and copy the old A account database from the old drive to replace the newly-downloaded file

Log back into Evernote (as 'A' account again) and  the old database should upload any new unsynced material to the server.  (But be aware if you changed an existing note to add new lines,  the original version of that note will now have an up-to-the-minute date stamp.  Any recent changes to the content would be overwritten,  binned as superseded.)

Don't forget to backup the Evernote folder on device B before you start,  and -if you don't want your data on that machine - delete the updated database when you finish the process.

 

But when I opened the Evernote from A while I was on B, where would I find the "synced account A material" and the "old A account database"? 

My motherboard crashed before my Evernote for Windows completed syncing. I pulled the drive out, put it into an external-hard-drive enclosure, and hooked it up to another laptop (which, incidentally, also has Evernote installed for a different account).

I tried running the copy of Evernote that's on the external drive. It acts the same as the "local" version, opening the account for the internal drive instead of the external.

Is there a way to reach the external-drive account, that has the unsynced notes on it? I'm guessing there might be a way to:

1) Run the internal copy but point it to the external copy's data

2) Run the external version in a way that points to the external data

3) Copy the external data (wherever it is) to the internal drive. (I'd sync the original internal data first before I replaced or overwrote it).
