Just to sum it up: The IP does not tell much. Using a VPN (which includes the TOR network) you can leave the tunnel at any place where servers of the VPN provider are located. It seems the access came from California when the guy really was sitting in a nice Internet cafe somewhere in Europe, a coworking space in SEasia or wherever. It makes no sense to think about the „where from“. Who is accessing other peoples accounts rarely does this for meaning well. Because the huge database of E-Mail & PW-data was offered in the net quite open and for amazingly cheap money, there is no way telling who might be accessing your account, and what for. If a pro will do it, he will most likely use an automatic process for the initial try to enter. Maybe even for the first search in the Database after entering an account. If this draws a blank (for example when searching for cryptocurrency), he may not even bother and move on. But this can be as well desaster kid, IQ 140, EQ 70, bored and thinking about whom he should make life a little more exiting this afternoon. Then the damage depends only on what content you might have in your EN data. So if the IRS, a SWAT team or your wife’s attorney comes knocking on your door, open it quickly and with a smile. This will at least save the door. I would very quickly change all my passwords, starting with the E-Mail accounts and the accounts of mobile phone services. Both are used when resetting web accounts, so who is controlling these can counter any resetting of web accesses by simply controlling the PW-reset mails flowing in. And it would be a good day to start to use a password manager to recreate the access PWs. First the PWmanager will create good, strong passwords, individual for each account. And secondly it helps to know which accesses you have, and keep them in line. Important accounts (again, E-Mail first, then cloud services, bank and brokerage accounts etc.) should be set to 2-factor-authorization, if possible. If there were access data to your home network in the EN account (WLAN, Router or remote access), these must be changed ASAP as well. PW-managers are better places to keep this data too.

This is what views are for - put emphasis on one aspect, at the same time reducing / hiding other aspects. When I read the initial posting again, it asks for a possibility to view all reminders in one place. Yes, this is possible, using what i‘v described. By the way it is not important what we think - just if the initial question was answered.

Mostly I work from my iPad. Now I have rechecked the reminders issue in my Windows-App. My reminders are shown in the second column from the left right at the top of all notes. Depending on which notebook I choose, it shows all reminders or just those in that notebook. If I click the arrow, the list of reminders opens, ordered depending on the reminders-setting in options. In my case the order is oldest date on top. If this does not show, maybe it helps to check in the options, under reminders, if the settings are activated as shown in the screenshot. See Screenshots for more.

Just to complete the possible options 💶💰💵💵💰: buy an iPad load the iOS-app click on the clock symbol => all reminders are listed, by order of the reminders date Another example of the different apps to use EN are not harmonized. I wish this option would exist in the Win-app, and others in iOS.

No collective check or uncheck. In Wunderlist, each item on a list is an individual entity that can be created, shared, checked or be reactivated, moved to other lists etc. They are handled one by one. Beyond sharing items, you can share the content of a complete list.

Wunderlist for shared ToDos, like our family grocery list. Works excellent, especially the sync between users while shopping is lightning fast. One list per shop, one for „if you do not get it here, get it there“-items. Checked items are collected below the unchecked ones, and can be reactivated. Things for my personal ToDos. For notes, I export the link from EN into Things, and do the ToDo-Control there. Things is fine, but does not allow to „share“. For reusable checklists, I think the proposal to create a „unchecked“ master note as a template, create a copy of it and fill it with „checks“ is the best solution. I am doing this with the checklist for my yearly tax return that I process with EN. Works fine, the workflow is „check them all“, with nearly never the need to uncheck anything. I think the EN checklists are not handling well when you check and uncheck permanently in the same list.

My experience: - For a quick markup while reading, the EN solution is quite o.k. The preview of annotated content on top of the note is very unique, I have not yet found this feature somewhere else. - If I want to add more content by A-pencil, I use Goodnotes. The handling of pdf-files in GN is very nicely done ! - If I go into real editing a pdf, I open PDF expert. With the in-app-package, one can even edit the original PDFs content, like if it was a word doc. Generally before waiting for an app to convert itself into a miracle machine that does exactly what I want (and maybe nobody else, which makes it a bad business case), I prefer to work with a small selection of apps that do the specific job on hand as wanted. Yes, if EN would integrate a better pdf editor, it might replace some other app. My focus would rather be to improve what EN could do better, and no other app will do instead. For example better note handling in iOS, like merging, multi-tagging of a group of notes, showing nested tag structures etc.

I think your main question was answered. Regarding the iPad, I would check whether it was taken out of the iCloud-connection already. I don’t know what wonders Apple can work on a „dead“ iPad. But I assume if it is dead for good, that they will just scrap it. Then it might still be connected to the Apple account. This may not be a concern today, but for example iTunes has a limit on the number of devices as well. So better to clean up now.

What is your main issue: Whether the old iPad was resetted by Apple, or how to get it off your EN account ?

If you OCR the Pdf on creation (which many tools offer) you would not need EN to make the OCR and search for a string. You could use Adobe Reader or other pdf reading apps to search and find. My personal setup: Besides the ScanSnap-Scanner that comes with an Abby OCR solution, I use the app ScannerPro that creates a pdf on the iPhone and OCRs it in one go. Most of the PDFs that I send into EN are already OCRed before they are submitted.

Yes. No Mac experience, sorry.

Hello, which client do you use to view the pdf ? On both the Windows and the iOS-client, the pdf title and the current and total pages are showing (Win on the top, iOS at the bottom, see screenshot).

Freezing of the app happened to me just once, recently after an EN app update, and only on my iPad Pro. The critical situation was this: Any string in the search field of the EN app, then I left the iPad to do something else, so it went to the lockscreen because of timeout. When I unlocked it, and opened EN, the app was frozen. This is what support told me to do: Before reinstalling Evernote for iOS, make sure to copy the contents of any unsynced notes somewhere outside of the Evernote app. Any unsynced notes (notes marked by green corners) and photos are deleted when you reinstall Evernote. To save any unsynced photos, open the photo, tap the Share button (box with upward arrow) and select **Save Image.** Then follow these steps: From the home screen, tap and hold the Evernote icon until it starts to jiggle Tap X, then Delete Restart your iOS device Download Evernote from the App Store For me, it worked. I think step 3 is important to really draw a new copy of the app from the App Store. No more freezing since.

I am sure the stock price went up like a rocket when dark mode got available. You have to have what others have ...

@ DTLow : At the moment, the iOS app will open and ask whether the full content should be downloaded. This happens one by one. If you pick more than one note from the left column (point, hold and lift the first one with on finger, click the next ones with an other finger), you can group some together. But they will fall apart when you lift your finger, no actions are available on the group. My impression is that regardless of cloud or local notebook, the iOS app is always holding exactly one note as active, all the rest is only header and preview. When another is picked, the content of the first one is erased from memory.

Maybe the real engineers where busy fighting other fires, whereas the artistic community needed some work to fill their 9-to-5-billing hours 😎

Up to now, there is only one note on the i-device at any time. All the rest is preview (headers and mini-pics), the notes are loaded on demand, one by one. The only exception in the current app are offline notebooks, these are fully loaded to the device. But up to now they can not be handled there other than the online notes, so it is only availability, not the handling that distinguishes the offline notes. So without rebuilding the app, I see this two ways: - Use the local device, make the notes to be joined available locally = offline, merge it, sync into the cloud - Use the cloud base, send a merge command from the i-device to the cloud server, merge in the cloud, resync to the device Probably I am thinking at this moment too much about the „how“ and not the „where to“. Once an engineer, always an engineer !

This would clearly be among the TOP 3 issues to be added to the iOS app. With today’s iPad-power, it should be no problem to achieve this - even if it would be restricted to offline notebooks for the availability of the notes on the device. Even better would be to execute the merge on the cloud server, and send the result back to the iOS as a copy.

Hello, this is a known issue at least between Firefox and the EN webclipper. I am not sure who has to fix something - maybe FF prevents access of tools to open pdf files. Or EN promotes „Chrome“ (no option for me, for sure ...). I wish my Webclipper would be enabled ASAP. Meanwhile, there is a ... ... Workaround 👻 : Set up a folder on your disk where you can file the pdf you want to catch, and define this folder as import-folder in Evernote (Win / Mac-Client). EN will then pick any file placed in this folder (not only from the browser) and create a new note with the file as attachment. It can delete the file from the import folder automatically if this option is picked. By using more than one folder, it is possible to set up different import paths; each folder can have a different notebook assigned as import target.

Yes, same with me: Initiating a workflow through a trained command is one thing which works most of the times. But talking something into Siri in a combination of commands and input for transcription can make a frustrating experience.

Shortcuts is nothing new (the app existed for a while before Apple bought it), but the Siri integration introduced with iOS 12 is. @bounce: Activating a workflow with Siri is not the same as controlling the app itself by Siri. Basically the workflows (= scripts) can be taken from a gallery and be adapted / modified. Or you can create them from scratch, and add them to your personal library. Because Siri is always restricted to the device, calling a workflow by voice has to be trained on each device. The workflow in itself can be transferred from one device to another, but the voice activation does not go with it. The voice command must not necessarily match the shortcut: You can train to say „bubblewup“ to create a new Evernote note in the Inbox and put the content of the clipboard inside. What is nice with shortcuts: Workflows can be called from a widget on the lock screen. By this, workflows inside your personal library can be activated (manually or with Siri) without even unlocking the iOS-device (See screenshot). The workflows created can do much more than the predefined widgets that may come with an app. Not all workflows go into the widget, only those you choose to activate for this option will show. For a start with scripting under iOS, the best way is to pick an existing workflow from the gallery, and modify it.

Another way is: Having the article open in Safari, choose „reader“ option if available. The next steps will work anyhow, but the selection might be cluttered by ads and page elements not needed. Go to „share“ Pick „print“ In the print window, select the pages to print if necessary (especially if not taken from a „reader“ selection), put 2 fingers on the miniature pic, and open them (move them outward, separating them = „unpinch“). This will open the mini-pic as fullscreen view of the website. From iOS 11 onwards, this will create a pdf-file instead of printing. Pick „share“ again. Choose „Evernote“ to send the pages to EN. You can modify the title, select tags and the notebook before sending. This workflow will create a new note with a pretty „clean“ pdf as content. The only drawback is that in the note you will not have a connection to the page from which the content was taken.

Goodnotes 5 (started with GN4, and upgraded early this year). No EN sync available, but I like the design, the handling and the very good search in the handwritten notes. It is possible to send pages (pick some of them and put them in one file) as pdf to EN to file it there. From my experience when picking an app, it is worth testing the preselected top 3 (even if it means paying) and find the one that you like. All the tests and stuff in YouTube / blogs will not tell you whether you really like it or not. And it is better to stick with one app, than hopping from one to the other. Switching apps will end in a maze of „with which app did I take this note / lesson / content / .... ? “. Hint: If you pick one of the front runners, you have a good chance it will still be there in 3, 5 or even 10 years. I have decided to go with EN and Goodnotes, and this is it. Others have decided for other products, for good reason as well. Just go and find out.

With the app „Office lens“ (Microsoft, free on the AppStore) beside other functions it is possible to open any picture from the camera roll of an iPhone or iPad. It can then be manually corrected to a frontal perspective by picking the edges, and saved back to the camera roll. There seems to be no automatic perspective correction, that exists if the picture is taken directly with Office Lens using the devices camera. Once there is the collection of the corrected pictures, use an app to create a pdf from them (in my case PDF Expert from readdle).

My personal solution is GoodNotes, ver. 5. Version 4 is still available, but the coding resources go into ver. 5. Handwriting and overall functionality is very good, and I like the feel-and-touch. It has the ability to search for text in all the handwritten notes / pages created, for all notebooks. This is within the App. Because they save variations of any word not clearly legible, they usually even find text where the handwriting was a bit off. A deficit is that the new version just syncs into iCloud, nothing else. They have promised to add other services, but up to now one must export to a pdf and import this into EN to add anything to the database.
