Geez, that is exactly what happened. When I started up Evernote, it unexpectedly asked me to sign in. To sign in, it asks for an email address. But, I had a user name, not email address (I signed up in 2013, I guess that's how they used to do it...) . So instead of just putting in my user name, I figured I needed to enter my email address--- which no doubt created a new account for me with -0- notes. I just tried signing in by putting my user name in the email field--- along with the password-- and violà! all my note/books are there. It would have been helpful if the Evernote sign-in field said "Email or User Name", for us old-timers that signed up with a user name. Thanks to all!

Thanks for the help. Almost there, but not quite. You say to restore from the entire 204419933 folder. I thought I knew how to do that, but I guess not. Inside EN, I go File > Import Notes... Then, I go find the 204419933 folder. But when I highlight it, EN doesn't recognize that as a 'restorable' folder because the Open button is greyed out, see screenshot. So I wonder: is there another way to restore other than File > Import Notes? Thanks.

Are you saying you only used "Local Notebooks"? Thats too bad; they're not sync'd to the Evernote server. The only backups are those performed by yourself Yes, I think it was only local notebooks. It was a decision I probably made 5 years ago when I didn't understand what it would mean to backup to the cloud. And then it never got changed cause it just 'worked'. .enex files are created when we use Evernote's export function to backup our data So, what if I never exported any of the notes from Evernote's export function? I just backed up my entire computer using time machine *assuming* that that would backup local Evernote files. That's good. You can use these backups to resore your database folderTo identify the folder, hold down the option key and click Help Here is what comes up when I choose Open Database Folder. I don't know which of these files / folders I should restore from. I don't see any .enex files here. Thanks.

Running Mac OS Mojave. Yesterday my Evernote worked fine (has for years). This morning, I started up Evernote and it suddenly asked me to sign in (never had done that before). So I signed in, and all my notes / notebooks are gone. Pretty sure I only had locally stored notes / notebooks. Help file says: Select File > Import Notes... Locate and select the ENEX (.enex) file from where it's been saved on your computer Select Open But I can't find the .enex file on my mac. Seems like this should be straight forward. I also have time machine backups. Any help would be appreciated.
