I'm like @gazumped, only my threshold is higher. I'm more like, "if somebody finding this means I might go to jail, don't put it in Evernote."

Tasks have disappeared
VincentC replied to Geofform's topic in Evernote for Android Issues (Versions 10.0 and above)
Including on the web client? If yes, then your likely only way to get them back is with support. On the desktop or mobile client but not the web client? Then syncing your database with an uninstall / reinstall may take care of it. But on mobile and web, I would try a sign out and sign in first. Vinnie -
This is why I just forward everything into my default inbox and then move the accumulated things that have been forwarded to the right place when I'm sitting at my desktop. It's easy to do the move at the desktop using the keyboard shortcut, and the matching to notebook names, in or out of stacks, is excellent. It's a good use of my time during a boring Zoom session or when I have a few minutes in the course of a day. And then I never have to wonder later, where the heck did that note go... when I have tried clipping directly to a folder from a mobile device. Overall, I find that my productivity is much higher with this workflow. Different folks... different approaches. Vinnie

Please stop logging me out
VincentC replied to VickiBrown's question in Evernote Web Client Requests
And be thankful for small things, in this case that your IT folks are only forcing a daily logout. Many places just block access to Evernote in the corporate environment. Vinnie -

Evernote personal to Evernote Teams
VincentC replied to ernestoalegre's topic in Evernote Teams Technical Issues
Or just add the words "actioned" or "needsaction" to the note title as you process your notes. Or ".actioned" and ".needsaction". The period will put these notes at the top of the notebook. Or use the "pin to top" feature for notes that need action and add "zactioned" to the title of notes that you have handled, which will put them at the bottom of the notebook. Vinnie -
Public Link Sharing Doesn't Work At All
VincentC replied to AshleyC's question in General Technical Issues
Ashley, I just tried and I can share notes without issue. To be clear about what's working for me, I open a note and click on the blue "share" button in the upper right corner of the screen. That copies a link to the clipboard. I then open a different browser in incognito mode (so the browser wouldn't have any idea that I have an Evernote subscription) and I paste the note into the address bar. The note opens fine using a lite.evernote.com URL. I put a screen shot of what I get below. So, I think you should be able to use the share button go get a URL, and then distribute that URL to others. The "lite.evernote..." URS should open for them even if they don't have an account. BTW, this functionality was introduced somewhat recently, I believe, so if you haven't updated your client in a while, it may be time to do that. I am on the Windows client, 10.116.3. Vinnie -
Ad Hoc Calendar Refresh
VincentC replied to Red.Jimbo's question in Evernote for Windows Requests (Versions 10.0 and above)
For comparison, I use the external program "calendarbridge" to keep Outlook, Google, and Evernote calendars in sync. I am not experiencing the problem you describe. My Evernote calendar knows what day it is and updates very quickly when my Outlook or Google calendars change. Have you checked the Evernote client using the web client instead of the Windows desktop client? If the web client isn't updating, I would suspect s something about the way you have the utility configured or its capabilities. Calendarbridge has a brief free trial period - I'm not pushing it, but that might be useful for troubleshooting. If the web client is updating but the Windows client isn't, you might have a defective Windows installation. Then, uninstalling using Revo and reinstalling the latest Evernote client might help. There are lots of posts on this board about doing that. Lastly, since Evernote added Outlook integration, I realize I don't actually need to use calendarbridge to get my appointments onto my Evernote calendar any more. I just haven't wanted to bother reworking my installation to take calendarbridge out of the mix - there is always something more interesting to do. But since your system isn't working now, you could try dropping your third-party utility and experimenting with using Evernote's own functionality. Vinnie -
And to add on to @gazumped's response and answer your question directly: no, making hourly updates is not a known issue. When you have reinstalled your Mac client, did you use Appcleaner to do the uninstall? The OS uninstall routines on both Windows and Macs are not sufficient. There could be some bit of code hanging around from an old installation that makes Evernote think it hasn't been updated. Otherwise, I agree with Gaumped that most likely something in your corporate environment is either preventing a clean installation or preventing necessary communication between your client and the Evernote server. I would try doing the reinstall away from the company network you are on, like at a coffee shop with good WiFi.. Corporate policy could still prevent a complete installation on a company computer, but I guess there's a remote possibility that using an independent network could make a different. Have you tried the web client, opening Evernote by going to www.evernote.com? The web client has most of the functionality of the local client with the notable exceptions being unavailability of keyboard shortcuts and export notes functions. Vinnie

076 - Search phrase "contains:table" does not work
VincentC replied to AlbertR's question in General Technical Issues
Mike, I am aware from an exchange in another community that the changes to the filter were unintentional. This dates from when the issue first came up a few months ago, though. I have no info on what an ETA for a fix might be. Maybe one of the Evernote Experts can ask about this when in touch with Evernote staff. Vinnie -
Evernote after a two years break
VincentC replied to larsmell's topic in Evernote General Discussions
I assume you are experiencing these issues using a desktop client? It would be helpful to know what hardware you are using and what version number your Evernote client is on the platform you are referring to. (Help / about.) If your desktop has an NVIDIA GPU, check to be sure that hardware acceleration is turned on in Evernote's settings, and look for the several threads here about this issue. Otherwise, likely causes: a defective desktop installation. Older notes are in a new format and need to be reformatted behind the scenes when you reopen them. Should only happen once for each note. Internet speed, ISP, other desktop hardware issues. Vinnie -
And, to elaborate just a bit on @PinkElephant's response, if your Surface is a company device, your first step should be to check with your IT folks. They may have made a change as part of your company's security policies that is affecting your access to Evernote. If that's what is happening, you need to see if they will allow you to access Evernote with this device. Otherwise, you are out of luck. Vinnie

I saw in one of the YouTube videos featuring Federico that he was considering the potential of their transcription service as a separate offering. (I don't remember which one - it might have been that hour long interview with Federico, and BS's CEO and CTO.) I'm not surprised, then, to see the transcription featured on a separate page. It looks to me like this is currently a tactic to promote Evernote as @gazumped suggests and not yet a separate offering, although I won't be surprised if transcription evolves to that. I have no inside info, though, so this is essentially gossip. Vinnie

Have you tried turning off hardware acceleration as suggested higher in this thread by @Jon/t and @mackid1993? Also, as I recall, @mackid1993 has done some additional investigation into the NVIDIA issue and has posted about it elsewhere. You might want to look at his post history to find some of that information. Vinnie

I guess I "won" this lottery... I am being offered the new levels. If Evernote sticks to this pricing and the respective feature set they are listing, I would probably move from my current Professional level back to Individual. But my account doesn't renew until the summer; it's not clear to me what the actual specific features are behind each general term of the feature set; and there is plenty of time for Evernote to make additional tweaks. So, for me, at least, it's watch and wait. Vinnie

Notebook Stacks to display notebooks rather than notes
VincentC replied to Sarah Farrell's question in General Feature Requests
Your approach seems perfectly sensible to me. When I use tags, I use them to do a similar thing. One way that I reduce my need for tags is to include the word I might have used as a tag in the note title. Then the quick switcher function, Cntl-Q on the Windows client or Cmd-J on Macs, will surface that note. But whether you do this or not, as someone just starting to use Evernote intensively, I suggest that you play with this quick switcher - it's really a simplified and very functional version of search. Here's an older thread about it: Vinnie
