  1. I am sorry to hear that you are still having this problem @betnel. I hope you can reach out to Evernote and submit a ticket. I guessed that whatever it was, was over yesterday afternoon. Sorry to hear that I am wrong. @PinkElephant, I forgot to mention I did check the status web page and it added to my confusion as nothing was reported as wrong on the server side. Therefore, I first reinstalled the legacy version and then installed the New Coke version.
  2. I looked at downdetector and saw your blip! I should have added mine. I will do so next time.
  3. Hello, I am in Houston TX and this hit me yesterday afternoon as well. Running version 7.14 on Mac, M1 MacBook Pro 13. Could not sync new notes--the app said export them and totally delete them. Sync would not work after I did that. My export to enex and import to apple notes.app was successful--I have all my new notes from yesterday. I wanted to come to the forum to see if this was a broad issue, but I didn't have cookies and I could not log into the web version of my account with any browser. This affected me at work--when I created the notes--and at home later in the night. I wondered if support for legacy version or my 7.14 had ended and I had missed some email about that. I shrugged and used appcleaner to remove all traces of evernote.app and data. I installed the new version 10.36.4 on my laptop and that did not help. My notes synced--downloaded again--but I could not create a new note. They would "flash" on the screen and then vanish. Duplicated notes would "flash" and vanish too. This morning I tried the current iPhone app and every new note I created was corrupted immediately. I used my home wifi and Verizon cell service with the same effect. I went to work and during my 8am to noon time there v7.14-- which is still on my iMac--had the same problem on the company wifi. I installed Joplin and did a full export to enex for my "bullet journal" notebook and I am doing a notebook by notebook export on an as-needed basis only. After the iphone corruption I did not want to do anything except export notes. With Joplin's local *and* synced (Dropbox) notebooks and Time Machine backups I hope I can avoid this. I lost 8 working hours, four last night and four today--so far--because I literally have to open my main notebook to know what I should be doing and what deadlines I'm missing. And I did not sleep well. I hope I can dump 10.36.4 and get back to 7.14. However, each notebook will move to Joplin as I need it and I will not come back. I think this is the downside to 'no local notes/files.' The internet is not perfect or always on. Cheers, everyone.
  4. I run my iMac at work on the same wifi. Evernote 7.14. No sync issues at all. I only have sync issues on iPhone and iPad versions. Cheers.
  5. I have an iPad 8 and incredibly fast wifi internet at work. Evernote is hit and miss on sync for me. I have the latest iPadOS and Evernote app. Sigh...I'm glad it is good for you!
  6. To follow up-- I got great support from Evernote staff. I tried to replicate the sync problem--but I had just accepted the newest iPad update to Evernote--and I could *not* replicate the problem. I made some test notes--just random stuff--and did not lose anything. That said, trust is gone on my part. I use Evernote on iPad to read old notes, but never to take new notes. I'm sticking with MS Word and OneDrive for new notes. I can open multiple Word instances on the iPad and use some for Apple Pencil notes, and some for typed notes. Then I move those notes to Evernote on my desktop or laptop.
  7. I submitted a ticket on this issue. In early December I stopped using my iPad with Evernote. After taking 5 or more minutes of notes, Evernote would sync, and revert my note to the version 5 minutes before. Yes, it deleted my new typing on the iPad rather than update in the cloud. I launched Apple Notes and quickly typed in what I remembered. I stopped using Evernote on iPad that day. For important meetings--we know many meetings are not important ( )--I take my MacBook Pro and run Evernote 7.14. I do use my iPad for other meetings, but now I use Microsoft Word for notes. Ugh, but yes I do. This gives me great Pencil input. I open two Word documents that sync to OneDrive, one for typing and one for Pencil. When the meeting ends, I share the notes with Evernote. I use [] in Word and turn those into check boxes in Evernote when I do my daily review. All it takes is adding a space after the ] and Evernote shows a check box. Bulleted lists transfer fine. This is so smooth, effective, and reliable that I doubt I will ever run the iOS Evernote again--except to search for something*. I just have Evernote on the devices so I can share the Word notes and edit them later on Evernote desktop or laptop. Once forced to version 10 on Mac, I might demote Evernote into a database and run Microsoft Word for capture on all devices. Then I can search for specific notes in Evernote. Not my favorite scenario, but it might keep me using Evernote should we be forced to version 10 and be disappointed in what it cannot do. *Something other than web clips because those are too narrow to read on iOS Evernote. Ticket submitted for that issue too.
  8. I submitted a ticket as well. I've stopped using my iPad for meetings--and I bought it for meetings--because the iOS Evernote has this problem and sync failures. I carry my laptop into meetings again. I'm running version 7.14 on MacBook pro and iMac. That version works. When I have to convert a note and cannot convert it back, I always duplicate the note and convert the copy.
  9. I found pinch zoom and single fingertip scrolling works for me. If they add a default font setting I will use it. I tried a template method but at times the font would reset to the small default font.
  10. Hello PinkElephant! That is how I find notes with unchecked boxes. I use CONTAINS incomplete to-dos. The problem in this thread is how to find the unchecked box within the note. If the note is simple, I can see the tickboxes but sometimes I cannot find them by eye among all the words. Nomadic uses "dothis" and until recently I was using "TDTD" as something searchable within the note. But I find it easy to create the tick box and a searchable marker as I type without have to do finger gymnastics for the box and multiple characters for the marker. Now I can turn a sentence into a tickbox and know that I will find it again. Cheers, T
  11. Now, rather than type "dothis" or "TDTD," I type [] space _ Evernote turns [] into a tickbox when I press space, and _ is fast to type. I search for incomplete "incomplete to dos" and _ and I'm done. Evernote highlights the _ and I know where every tickbox is.
  12. I am using the iPad app and the legacy desktop. My font size fix on the iPad is to start a note with "1{return}{return}1{return}" like this ... 1 1 I select all, set the font to 30--I have the 9.7 inch--and put my new content between the 1s. The font stays large between the 1s, but can revert to the small default font after them if you edit later on the iPad.
  13. Hello, I know this thread is super old, but, here is my workaround. Out of my 25,000 and more notes, I have 190 with open checkboxes. I want to clean these--the ancient lists that expired long ago. Moving forward, when I create a check box I add TDTD, which stands for "to do to do" so I can search for open checkboxes *and* tdtd. But for the old notes...now and then when I clean up my Evernote I search for open checkboxes, sort by date and open the oldest 10 notes. One by one, I copy the whole note and paste it into MS Word. The checkboxes become []. When I search for those in Word, I find the words near the checkbox, and I search for those words in the note. At some point my Evernote will be clean and active checkboxes will have TDTD in them that lets me search within the note without the copy/paste into Word.
  14. Easygreenus: I'm sad for everyone in your position. I attended Stacey Harmon's webinar about the new Evernote and it seems that *local* notebooks are gone forever. My notes: what is not returning? Local notebooks; presentation mode; context; scansnap evernote edition firmware and software; outlook clipper At present, none of those bother me. However, if my employer forbids online notebooks someday, I will have to find another tool/system too. *edited to be precise--See DT Low, below.
