It worked! Thanks so much 🙂

This is the exact same problem I had a few years ago with my desktop version of Evernote and now it's happening on my phone. I'm not seeing this problem on any of the other platforms (desktop, tablet, web). It's the phone app that is not working correctly. I recently updated the iOS to 17.3.1. Here's what's happening: I click a tag on my phone. Instead of showing me all the notes filed under that tag, it only shows me *some* of them. For example, the tag "teff flour" only has 36 notes in the iPhone app. On all other platforms (desktop, tablet, web) that tag has 51 notes. Since I use the phone app quite a lot, that means I have to resort to complicated searching, instead of simply clicking the tag. I'm *guessing* that uninstalling and reinstalling the Evernote app might take care of this. Is that a good idea? Would anything be damaged by doing that?

I wrote the original post (OMG, November 2020…). I am doing just fine with searching using multiple tags. The issue is closed as far as I’m concerned. This discussion has moved on to other topics. I figured if people are finding that discussion useful, it’s fine by me, so I just let it go, letting it run its course

Thanks! That worked. 🙂

Evernote currently has the wrong name for my computer. I have changed it in my Microsoft account, but my Evernote account still says I have the old laptop name. I don't see any way to change it in Evernote. I see ways to change the name of notebooks, how to revoke access to my device, etc. but nothing about setting the name of my computer. The incorrect name was set accidentally during a confusing, messy process of choosing a Hello PIN when I first started up the computer. I want to give it the same, correct name that is now registered with Microsoft.

1990, sounds 'bout right 😉

And that's what I used to convert the Clarisworks files. LibreOffice may not have the full set of outliner features, collapsing and expanding for example. But at least it preserves my indents!

This is the first time I'm migrating to a new computer myself, without any IT help. In the past, I've simply handed it over and hoped. That means those guys have always simply migrated every bit of my craperoonie files, going back decades. In particular, and this has been relevant to the migration out of Windows 7 and into Windows 11, I had to convert thousands (yes, thousands) of documents from Clarisworks. That's beloved (but seriously obsolete) outliner software that barely survived the upgrade into Win7. I used Clarisworks to keep records on every aspect of my solopreneur business and personal life, going back about 25 years. You can imagine what it's been like to go through all those records! Quite a trip down memory lane....

I just saw a very sobering article about "craperoonies". https://www.makeuseof.com/delete-zombie-apps-no-longer-use/ Apparently, this is not just a question of disc space. Turns out discontinued, old apps can actually be dangerous. "Apps and software that are no longer maintained by their developers, but still exist on people's devices. [Keep them and] you're opening yourself up to unnecessary security risks." I am SO GLAD I'm going through my old computer with a fine tooth comb before I move to the new one. At the very least it's been an interesting trip down memory lane 😉 Thanks for the tip about file formats! Glad to hear it.

That's the plan! 🙂

thanks!!

I'm actually moving from Windows 7 to Windows 11. (It took weeks to convert what turned out to be thousands of Clarisworks documents to more recent software. I'm finally able to upgrade to the new operating system.) Thanks for the tip about revoking access. Doing my best to make this a very clean install moving forward (OMG, I found so much ancient craperoonie, hunting through this hard drive, obsolete files from the previous three computer upgrades). So if I"m moving from Windows 7 to Windows 11, will all my files get downloaded when I start it up on my new computer?

I’m in the process of moving to a new computer and I want to make sure I don’t leave anything behind. Are my Evernote files all saved in the cloud? Or are there some saved locally on my computer that I have to make sure and move?

Looks like it worked! Thanks so much 🙂

Thanks for the detailed instructions, and for all your help. I will try that and let you know how it goes.
