I kept asking for a work around to cause Sync sooner. Chat support suggested installing the legacy Evernote. According to this, they can work side by side on the same machine..... trying this now... Installing legacy evernote: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052560314 Chat support suggested I solve the issue by logging in and out of evernote. I am surprised they didnt ask me if I was running genuine Mac OSX. I have installed the legacy app. it appears to have gotten busy syncing it's own collection of my notes. It completed pretty quickly. I have been editing things back and forth between the apps, and they do seem to stay in sync pretty well with each other. But it is sure nice to use the legacy app and have the old fashioned Sync button.

i just wasted a lot of time looking for the missing Sync button and came to this thread. I liked a few other messages in the thread, and was just told I can't like any more messages today. A pox on whoever thought it appropriate to throttle a paying customer (me) like that. I need the sync button because I just emailed myself two different notes, and I have had to wait 9 minutes to get the second note, which i wasted with searching for the sync button. I am sure I could have had this second important note in my email within 30 seconds to a minute if I had been able to click the sync button. OK, folks, instead of an impotent forum to post our hundreds of complaints, all of us Premium (i.e. paying users), need to hit Evernote in the pocket book for this. What is the most expensive method, for Evernote, for us to request support about this issue? I suggest we all waste our time to do that. Insist on speaking to supervisors. Maybe this can get Evernote's head out of the sand on this.

I am losing sketches today made with pencil on iPad, with Evernote 10.5 1110155. I am also apparently getting problems syncing, and now cant save the sketches to photos, which was working fine last night.

This morning I got a conflict on my Mac copy of EV on an activity log note, where I absolutely dont want to lose any of the entries I've made in the file. I make very important decisions on the entries in this note. To avoid conflicts, I am constantly manually syncing my various copies of Evernote. I use EV on two laptops (Mac & Win), on a few virtual machines, two IOS devices, and two or three androids. Some of these different copies of evernote get far out of sync as some aren't used very much, others are often used within minutes of each other. Sometimes I dont have internet handy when I need to use one of them and can't sync it. I now paying $20 extra month on my cell phone for hotspot to make sure I can always update EV. To solve the conflict: * Cutting and pasting the two notes into text editors, then saving * make a new folder to save the two note versions into, * make sure I actually saved one of each version, * then start p4merge * manually select both files into the two entires of the p4merge compare file dialog * click the compare button Discover that p4merge says there are no differences. Redo the whole process above just to make sure I got it right.... Now I regularly deal with diffs and revision control. But to have to go through the above set of steps is ridiculous. I have many friends to whom I have recommended EV for their use. But some of them are novice computer users, or they have limited mobility, and trying to talk them through the above series of steps (plus taking them through downloading p4merge to make sure they have a diff tool) would be very painful, if even possible at all. And I just noticed for first time a conflict folder from two weeks ago with three notes which are also activity logs for another project. I have heavily updated those acitvity log notes since the conflict. Lots of fun to try to figure those out. EV should make it easy to do a simple compare of any two notes. I can't imagine this would take more than 3-4 man-days for one of their experienced devs.
