(Archived) No sync between Evernote Web and local Evernote

[Larrys 2]

I am finding recently that my notes entered in Evernote web are not syncing to the local Evernote on my Windows computer.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I think we might have just come back from the break - as I noted in another thread. Except I think the web app has cacheing issues: Updates work but the readback isn't quite right. Will probably correct itself.

@LarryS

Are any sync errors being reported by Help -> Activity Log?

No sync errors are reported.

I have Evernote running on a work computer and it has synced properly.

So far the problem has not resolved. It is strange in that the Evernote app running on my work computer (Windows 7) has updated properly but the app running on my home computer has not.

If you do not have any unsynchronized Local notebooks on the netbook then the fix should be simple.

Evernote -> Tools -> Options -> Open Database folder (in Windows Explorer)

Evernote -> File -> Exit

Windows Explorer -> Rename Evernote "Databases" folder to e.g. "Databases.old"

Restart Evernote and provide your username and password when prompted.

This will create a new empty client database on your device.

The next sync will download your notes from the service.

Also, which versions of Windows and Evernote for Windows are you using on your home system?

I had similar issue with EN on two computers both with Win 7 and same version of EN. What Owyn quoted did resolve it but it seems that we have an issue (or bug) here. As long as it is safe in cloud I do not consider it as critical. What I am thinking is that something like "forced" sync might be useful.

It might be best to file a support ticket

If a person is in the middle of a sync and it gets screwed up somehow, we'll try to fix it on the next sync. Sometimes, however, the database gets corrupted in such a way that the initial problem will never get fixed, even though the log appears to show proper syncing. (ie: new notes created will upload just fine, as will new notes from server, and new tags, etc, but some older notes will never appear.)

In those cases, you need to do a database wipe to fix this, but our engineering team would like to see all of the logs that you have available on your machine so that we can attempt to prevent this type of error from happening in the future, or build in a "self repair" feature.

It's very frustrating, I've the same issue each 2~3 months and I'm bored to wait hours to sync over 3.000 notes.

I've opened a ticket, but I already know the answer ... destroy db and rebuild from scratch.

Not a serious workaround.

Today it happened on another notebook.

Really boring issue!

What specifically is the problem that you are having?

What have you tried?

Have you opened a support request?

I tried IE, Firefox, and Chrome. I have the same issue.

Earlier today, I found out that you need to manually click on Sync on your local Evernote. Even you setup Evernote to auto sync every 30 minutes and it shows "Sync Completed". It doesn't Sync. You have to manually click on Sync.
