s2sailor: Thank you for your post! I deleted and reinstalled the app on both my iOS devices and that cleared up the mismatched tags perfectly. Such an obvious fix and I'm ashamed I didn't think of it.

Making the Fingertip topics a TOC note is a brilliant idea -- thank you!

Thanks for the t'shooting tip. I know which notes are problematic, it's just that they remain problematic despite retagging. I'll post a question to support and see what they say. I'm not interested in spending much more time on this problem when you've given me a great workaround.

If this specific issue has been addressed, please refer me elsewhere.

In Evernote, I have a tag "Fingertip" for quick reference topics. I access Fingertip via a shortcut.

On my Mac and Windows Evernote installs (all up to date with the most recent versions), Evernote says I have 13  notes tagged with Fingertip.

On my iOS devices (iphone and ipad, updated with the latest versions) Evernote says I have 10 (iphone) or 13 (ipad) notes tagged with Fingertip.

 In comparing the installs I see the following:

• The ipad and Win/Mac installs have 11 notes in common flagged as Fingertip
• The Win/Mac installs have 2 notes that the iOS devices do not have. All notes in the Win/Mac installs are correctly tagged with Fingertip.
• The iPad device reports 2 notes tagged as Fingertip that, on inspection of the notes, are NOT tagged as Fingertip. They are free of tags.
• the iPhone reports one note as Fingertip that is NOT tagged as Fingertip (this note also appears on the iPad). But the iphone includes one of the Win/Mac notes in its tally that the iPad does not.

I honestly don't know how to troubleshoot this. I've tagged, re-tagged, and de-tagged these notes, but the iOS devices persist in not agreeing with the Mac/Win installs, which are working as expected.

Any tips on troubleshooting this? It's annoying mainly because these are notes that I access frequently and it confuses me when an essential note is not present on all of my devices.
 

Thank you! It's there in Windows too. Just blinked right over it. *sigh* I wonder how I have survived to this age...

I want to be able to scan a list of notebooks and see at a glance how many notes each one has. I now have to click each notebook to see how many notes are in a notebook.

Something simple like:

Recipes (54)

Wishlist (12)

Thank you for that Sync Now tip; did not think to check Settings when I wanted to sync an individual note. It's not convenient at all, but will get the job done.

The phone was at about 90% battery at the time, so that is not an issue. Perhaps I need to adjust the iOS Auto-lock from 1m to 3m so EN has time to sync in the background.

Using an iPhone SE (1st gen), iOS 15.4, and whatever the latest EN version is (I set apps to auto-update in the background). Used over very fast wifi.

I typed in a long note on the phone last night, one of those classic light bulb of inspiration notes. I set the phone down, picked it up a few minutes later, woke the phone, went to the note, and over half of it was gone. So i retyped what I could remember, set the phone down without putting it to sleep so the note would save. Picked it up again a few minutes later, and again, over half of the note was gone. (If only there was a way to sync the note immediately or at least save it locally in its current state.)

Checked note history in Windows Evernote and it barely recorded a quarter of what I wrote.

I filed a support ticket. I expect the workaround is to use iOS Evernote for viewing only and instead use Apple Notes when on mobile. And to rub salt into the wound, I just last week upgraded to Professional.

The other issue I have with Evernote on ipad and iphone is that notes stop syncing after a while. The only workarounds are 1) restart the device or 2) delete and reinstall the app. I'm frustrated with having to use workarounds so the app will perform its most basic function. Fortunately, the Windows desktop app seems to be mostly solid apart from duplicating notes every so often.

Thanks to gazumped and DTLow for correcting my errors when posting to this forum. I'll know where to post next time.

I am using 7.14. This search does not work in my Legacy 7.14 desktop install.

My install is through the Mac App Store; I just stopped it from updating to v10.4.4 as I also use Evernote for Windows on my work laptop which is still on the legacy version.

Replying to this topic to bump it up. Is anyone else having a problem with mac desktop evernote not executing an advanced search like this?

The following search string works on the web:

created:20151206 -created:20151207

With that search, I see the only document that was created on Dec 6, 2015.

However, that search does not return anything on the Evernote desktop. In fact, the "created:yyyymmdd -created:yyyymmdd" does not work AT ALL in the desktop. What's going on? Is something clogged? Do I need to reset something?
