amanda_h 300 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 EDIT: UPDATED 2/17/17 Hi y'all, Our development team is currently investigating an issue where some users are having trouble logging into the Evernote Web Clipper in Safari. When this issue occurs, a tab or window opens and closes and an error appears stating "You must sign in using the Clip to Evernote toolbar button before you can make clips." If you're experiencing this issue, please ensure your Evernote Web Clipper is updated to version 6.11* and your Safari Privacy settings are set to either "Allow from websites I visit" or "Always allow" (Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data). *If your Web Clipper isn't updated, please reinstall the extension by following these steps: Open Safari and select Safari > Preferences from the menu bar. Choose Extensions > Evernote Web Clipper > Uninstall. Quit and reopen Safari. Open Safari and install the Evernote Web Clipper from www.evernote.com/webclipper. If prompted to choose between installing the extension from the Safari Extensions Gallery or directly from the developer, choose Install from Developer. Navigate to Safari > Preferences > Extensions > Updates to ensure you have the latest version of the extension installed. If your Evernote Web Clipper extension is updated to version 6.11 and your Privacy settings are set to 'Allow from websites I visit' or 'Always allow' and you're still experiencing this issue, please submit a support request so our Technical Support Team can help investigate this further.

Dan O 0 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I am having the same problem. In Safari, when I click on the Evernote Clipper icon on the top toolbar it asks me to sign in. I do using my Evernote user name and password as I have in the past. I dod not use the Google sign on despite having a gmail account. After clicking sign on the box disappears. When I go to clip an article the colored process bar light up under the web address bar and disappears mid way. No pop up box appears as in the past. I tried to see if the clipped article might be showing up in either the Evernote app or in the online web version but nothing shows up. This has been occurring for the past week. I figures it might just be a quirk that has occurred sine your migration to Google. Frustrated. Link to comment
magus 0 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hi! For a week or so I have the problem that every hour Ii get kicked out of evernote webclipper and have to login again. I am using Safari latest version and 10.10.5 OS. Cheers Andreas Link to comment
Shaun Furlong 0 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Ditto - about a week and I have to log in pretty much whenever I use Web Clipper. Link to comment
philosopherdog 12 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 How long is this going to keep going on without a solution? This is getting rediculous. Does Evernote have anyone that knows how to troubleshoot this problem and get to the bottom of it? Hire a contractor who knows about oauth. How hard can it be? Link to comment
thibo 0 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hi, Having the same issue for now several weeks. Are you trying to force people into the Google login ? Thanks for helping us with this very user-unfriendly log out issue. All the best T. Link to comment
AlanBD 0 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 HI. Im also not able to use the web clipper. The please sign in box has disappeared and the link now does nothing. I have tried re-installing but that does not work either; I get a message saying 'An error occurred while installing the extension “Evernote Web Clipper”.' Is there a work around as this is affecting the efficiency of Evernote and how I am able to use it. Thanks Link to comment
Jljabs 0 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 quite the same problem, but the tab stays open, so I can login, but it's very annoying to have to login each time I wan't to capture something. Link to comment
hackettt 0 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 This issue just started for me today. I cannot log into the web clipper. I did once and it seemed to work, but now the web clipper does nothing and the dot below the elephant icon does not go away. Link to comment
sedmarian 0 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I am having the same problem as “hackettt”, elephant has a dot that does not go away, plus web clipper is not working. If this problem has been known about “amanda_h” since January 9th I would, as others, appreciate it being sorted out straightaway. Its not like I am getting it for free. Link to comment
casam268 1 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'm in the same boat, Premium unsatisfied member. The fact as I see it is that there is functionality in the way Web Clipper is displayed to us, intentional, and the functionality is broken. It opens another tab in the safari window, titles it "untitled" and then "Success!", as the new tab disappears. I have had it work again, for some odd reason, opening the panel on the right hand side that allows you to rename and direct the clip to the applicable folder. I have had an Evernote Expert look at my problem, and then tell me he has passed it on to Technical, and now days later I am here, trying to find a way to express my frustration. I don't understand why I don't get a broadcast email advising of a problem. If I did, I am more than accommodating as I feel a part of an extended Evernote team, but being left in the fog, I don't like. Link to comment
mrrogerz 1 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Same problem, dot under menu bar elephant (not signed in but signed in a dozen times a dozen ways) restart, safe boot, disabled AdBlocker, cleared cookies/cache etc etc. Finally, changed Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data from "Allow from current website" to "Allow from websites I visit".

HCaroselli 5 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I checked my Privacy settings again and the option suggested by jim.g is my default setting. Still having the problem staying logged in Evernote. I started to notice this within the last couple months. Prior to that it worked as expected. Link to comment

Gurras 0 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 I'm having the same problem as the users above. Is there an update re: the fix? Do you need more info? I've of course made sure I have the most current versions of Safari, OSX and the websclipper. Uninstalled, reinstalled... The feature works in Chrome, but not Safari Version 10.0.3 (12602.4.8) Thanks, Gururas Link to comment

Andy P 0 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I had the same problem and the solution for me turned out to be that I was using Private Windows in Safari rather than ordinary ones. I'm assuming its down to differences in cookie handling between ordinary browsing mode and private browsing mode. Link to comment
Frustrated1 2 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I've tried with and without private windows in Safari, but that didn't help. This has been going on for far too long with no help from Evernote. I've canceled my premium account. Anyone got a alternative to Evernote that they can recommend? Link to comment

webguy 6 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 So it has been a month since EN started this new thread and closed down the others. Clipper is still not working for me despite all the suggestions, opening a ticket, posting logs, etc. I provided browser console logs that even suggested particular lines of code that Safari is complaining about, etc. EN is about to lose me as premium customer. And it would be helpful for all those saying a fix worked for them to note their OS, Browser and Clipper version. A number of the "fixes" that seem to help some people don't work on other configurations. Link to comment

jpetersons 1 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Clipper still not working. On top of that after Evernote Mac app froze, it asks to send a report to you at launch (every time, regardless if i've done it already); when sent, window disappears and the app does not launch. Ar you guys ok over there at Evernote? Link to comment
webguy 6 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Was hoping that the new 6.11 version of the Safari Web Clipper extension would fix things but it hasn't for me. Link to comment
chiefted 1 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Suffice it to say that the problem as gotten dramatically worse! After upgrading to the latest version of the web clipper extension, when clicking on the icon it does absolutely nothing. I have tried all the solutions listed. Logging out and back in. I have a premium account. Check my privacy settings. It does the same thing whether I have two factor authentication turned on or off (I would much prefer to have it on). I am one "this is how you annotate pdfs inline in OneNote" suggestion away from switching, and I have been with Evernote since almost the beginning. I remember when your HQ was just off Castro Street ,I believe , in Mountain View (I even remember where your old building was)...thats how long I have been with you. Get this solved or lose a paying customer. Link to comment

Doesn't work. @amanda_h Tried your fix as well and it didn't work for me. @Frustrated1 @chiefted Finally found something that worked for me and hoping it may be a solution for you and others still fighting the problem after trying 6.11 I did some more digging after I uninstalled all the extensions I had for Safari - including Web Clipper and quit Safari. When I looked in my ~/Library/Safari/Extensions/ folder, I found an "Evernote Web Clipper.safariextz" file that seemed to be an old and leftover. This despite the extension showing as gone and having installed more recent versions of the extension since this one's last modified date. I deleted this file and also cleaned the local EN cache files in ~/Library/Safari/LocalStorage/ (search folder for "ever" and delete). I then restarted Safari and installed the 6.11 WC extension and logged in. Viola! It worked again. Added my various other preferred extensions and checked as I went along. Still kept working.

The second part of @webguy steps worked (I didn't have the .safariextz file), though cleaning out the ~/Library/Safari/LocalStorage/ folder of anything with ever in it solved the issue. I restarted Safari just to be sure. As I said in another post (and I want to ensure that Evernote sees this) I am happy to be productive in my studies, I am NOT happy with all the grief everyone went through. A 2 day Twitter conversation where I was told to submit a support request (which I had done already and had heard absolutely NOTHING), then submitted a second one where I pointed to three different forums with unhappy customers and made a couple of different post directed at the support folks saying..no your fix doesn't work. Come my renewal time I am going to think long and hard about paying for a premium account after the missteps of the past year or so. Link to comment

IvanPsy 10 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I asked the support and their solution worked for me...at least until now... Here you are their answer: To troubleshoot this issue in Safari, please try the following: Uninstall the Evernote Web Clipper in Safari by navigating to Safari > Preferences > Extensions > Evernote Web Clipper and choose Uninstall From the menubar, choose Safari > Clear History and choose All History then Clear History On your keyboard, press ⌘ command + ⌥ option + esc simultaneously, then select Safari and choose Force Quit Restart your Mac Open Safari and install the Evernote Web Clipper from www.evernote.com/webclipper If prompted to choose between installing the extension from the Safari Extensions Gallery or directly from the developer choose Install from Developer.

Reading this thread, though, I thought that MAYBE THE CULPRIT WAS THE NEW EXTENSION ITSELF (it updates in the background, leaving us unaware of the change: thus the « it broke suddenly » syndrome). So I connected an old MacBook that had an identical system, but had never been updated to the new Web Clipper extension, and lo and behold, after installing the old extension (6.9.0-b.25 (5134137/1.1.0.926). IT WORKS! This was driving me crazy and I feel so much better now.

mhrob 0 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Oh and after installing the old extension, I DISABLED AUTOMATIC UPDATES in the Safari extensions preferences, otherwise I will be stuck with the same problem at the first update. That's fine with me, as long as I have the clipper back. Link to comment
