Well, my 25% smaller notebook finally finished downloading everything and the green offline progress bar is gone. I appreciate the help - I learned a lot from you both.

As far as I can tell, the green bar NEVER went away. It stayed at about 95% forever - weeks, or more. I probably use a dozen notes regularly - plus an addition of, say, one a day. Since I moved about 20% of the old notes to a different, online-only notebook - which was just a few hours ago - the offline notebook has made steady progress. I will feel better when it gets thru and the progress bar goes away, as you describe. I have another question, or comment: The startup of Evernote on the ipad is S-L-O-W. Well, slow, in comparison to just about everything else - but not hours. A couple of minutes. Maybe I am just impatient. I don't have a LOT of volatility in my notes, but there is some - and I guess it has to sync changes before resuming the offline download. Anyway, my android phone works faster. It has that same notebook marked for offline access - it says it is 6Meg, with 430 notes (after I moved 183 notes out). I just want this to be BACKGROUND - just want to use the app to make, and modify, notes on any of my devices, without THINKING about it! Thanks again. Dan

I am humbled by your vast notebook! On mine - I have had this ipad for a year or more - installed evernote, set that one notebook to offline, and forgot about it. Decided today I should try a little harder, so I started moving old notes (about 25%) to another, online-only notebook - it has been working on the smaller offline notebook for a few hours. But - at least I know what it is now! Thanks again.

On an ipad, I have a number of notebooks, with one large notebook marked for offline access. It shows a horizontal green bar indicating ... something. I thought it was size, or capacity - now I think it is progress in downloading, and it is hung up. Anyone know for sure what it is? And, if it's hung up, how to get it to complete, or start over, or ??? See attached screen capture... Thanks Dan

My experience has been that the Windows app is just about always up to date with the server. The app gets launched at boot up, and sits there - presumably asking the server periodically ‘has anything changed since the last time I asked?’ Unless there are LOTS of notes getting frequent updates (and we need to define LOTS), keeping the windows database up to date should be trivial. And, when the user goes to a specific note to make changes, there should be a similar, instantaneous check for changes, and pop up a note saying the note has changed, wait while we sync. Don’t tell us later ‘oh - you forgot to sync - too bad.’ My main complaint about all this is that Evernote does not notify you that a conflict has occurred, or will occur if you don’t sync. Fix that ON ALL PLATFORMS if you want happy customers. (The new iPad version seems to do that.) Just a customer who (wants to) love Evernote Dan
