satisfice

Well, that's pretty lame design. First, it's inconsistent with the PC version, which can handle this. Second, yes, I actually restart my computer and exit applications from time to time. One reason to do this is for the sake of security (although I wonder is the local Evernote database is secure... I kind of suspect that it isn't).

But thanks for helping. I thought maybe I had missed some subtle menu or option.

I have a Mac Air. I'm running the Evernote application on the Mac.

I'm talking about offline access, so of course I'm not attempting to access it through the web.

I also have the application on my Windows laptop, where I am able to log in and see local notes even without net access. But not on the Mac.

I need to access notes on my Mac when I am not online. However, when I'm not connected to the net, I get a log in window that obviously won't log me in, and apparently nothing is available offline.

Actually it won't even let me make a note when I am offline. What gives?

I have a premium account.

I read somewhere here that notebooks can be designated for offline use. I looked all over for such a feature. I tried preferences and right-clicking on a notebook. I looked at every menu I could find. Nothing tells me how to do this. There's something called a local notebook, is that what I need? Will that be synced when I get online?

I have jillions of notes. I want to share them across devices. But I am often no online. What to do?

Please help me.
