  1. This may help others.... In an attempt to isolate the export problem, I created about 60 tags and attached each one to no more than 100 notes. I then selected notes using the new tags, one by one, and exported. Of the roughly 60 exports, one failed with 'There was a problem...' BUT when i repeated the export, twice, it worked both times. So I conclude the original failure was not an un-exportable note, but some other problem. I suppose the 'Please try again' suggestion in the Evernote error message might work - and for modest note volumes be practical. (My two online attempts to export the full notebook of 6000 notes ran for over an hour before failing) Later, for the hell of it, I re-tried the original 6000 note export and it succeeded, so the error was transient.
  2. Hi gazumped, I continue to be amazed by your positive attitude. An article by the Verge suggests using the legacy version of Evernote for Mac to export more than 100 notes at a time. In your experience, does that trick work these days? Obviously, I don't want to make my problem worse with some ill-advised fix. (https://www.theverge.com/23462732/evernote-export-notebook-how-to) Thanks for your initial suggestion. I am a little wary of creating some other problem if I try to split out small chunks, but maybe I'll give it a try.
  3. There's no indication of what went wrong. Export fails for both .enex and 'multiple web ages' formats. It also fails when offline (export without attachments) - at roughly the same percentage completion. If I knew the order in which notes were exported, I might be able to isolate a bad note - I know it's not creation order. With over 6000 notes and a 100 note selection limit, it's infeasible to partition the notebook export. Any suggestion welcome. As a side note: offline export does not export attachments, but it does run two orders of magnitude faster than online export - that may help somebody else shoot some other problem. MacBook Pro Sonoma 14.0 with Evernote 10.70.2 Error Message: Failed to Export Notes There was a problem and we couldn't export your notes. Please try again.
  4. I don't have a solution, but I can sympathize. I have about 6000 notes in one notebook and in repeated attempts over years I never been able to fully download them. The download stalls indefinitely somewhere in the process, green bar only partly across. I have let it run for days with no further progress. Like you, I have ample storage. Like you, I've tried support without success. Occasionally, even notebooks of trivial size can stall or take days to complete. The workaround I use now is to export my Evernote notes and import them into the Apple Notes app. This doubles the storage needed, but it does let me read copies of my notes when offline. I re-export from time to time to refresh the copies. (I have also used Joplin and Keep It as alternative repositories with some success - both seem reliable offline.) I have thought about fracturing the large notebook into smaller ones, and then re-fracturing the ones that fail to download. I suppose this would eventually isolate troublesome notes, but I don't have the patience for it.
  5. Hello Andy, I created a note titled test with only the word invoice as content. Search behaves as expected: invoic finds the note; "invoic" does not. Evernote 7.10 OS X 10.14.5.
  6. Odd. I just checked my 7.10 Evernote running on Mac OS X 10.14.5. A search for invoic returns over 200 results; a search for "invoic" returns only 2, excluding notes that contain the word invoice. As expected, the quotation marks forced exact match. Footnotes: The 2 exact matches were found as words in images (incorrectly as it turns out - the actual images contained the full word). I also checked case-sensitivity: as expected both searches were case-insensitive.
  7. +1 Premium user, one account, brand new problem. Evernote 7.10 Mac OS X 10.14.5. It would be helpful if the Evernote people told us how allowing or denying access affects Evernote behavior. I denied, with no obvious bad effect.
  8. I have a two note test case where html export of either note individually works, but html export of the two at once fails. Note content is a factor, but as the test case shows, something else is going on. Notes that trigger failure contain images or other attachments, for example gpx/kml files.
  9. I have had a very similar problem with html exports for several years. I use a Mac with current operating systems. Like Necktilt, my html exports fail on notes that will export individually. Unlike Necktilt, my exports fail on specific notes. If I remove a note from the export group and retry, the export will progress to another failure, etc. All of the failing notes will export individually. In Oct 2016, Evernote responded to my escalated Ticket# 1850762 with " We are currently aware of this issue, and although I don't have an ETA of when it will be resolved, I can assure you we're working diligently to fix it." I've given up hope. My workaround is to batch the export of my 5000 notes into groups, and to tag troublesome notes to make it easier to exclude them from the groups..
  10. Another vote for a font fix - back to Skitch V1 functionality. Keith Lang's Jan 2013 letter promised this - with restoration of other lost V1 features. I'm still waiting.
