#Appzapper old version install#

Note: I suspect that the above steps could all be avoided if you can find, download and install 5.6.1, but, for some reason, there doesn't appear to be a way to find 5.6.1 without first installing 5.6.0, which you cannot do if the installer finds a trace of a previous 5.6.0 on your system!

When starting the new Evernote for the first time, it asks you to upgrade to Evernote 5.6.1.

I used the most recent one off their website (5.6.0)Ĥ ) upgrading Evernote to the latest version.

This step is crucial, as it seems that Evernote is caching additional information in memory, which isn't eliminated with the steps above, reboot is required, otherwise you'll still get the error message when you try and re-install Evernote.

There may be additional traces of Evernote, but these seemed to do it for me.

rm -rf ~/Library/Application Support/Evernote.

If you want to do it manually, you'll need to: I used AppZapper (very useful commercial tool) to do the removal. In my case I'm a premium member, with everything backed up to the Evernote servers, so I took a chance and deleted all traces of Evernote on my machine, and then restored from their servers. Note: before doing this, figure out how you want to restore your data (notes, etc.). Update: I solved this by following these steps:ġ) completely removing Evernote from your mac. Presumably that will remain the case until it gets real competition. These are all the hallmarks of a company too complacent to bother with its users.

#Appzapper old version software#

in addition to messing up on the software release management front, there also doesn't appear to be anyone monitoring the user forums. the latest version has not yet been posted by his Software Release Management team.Ĭ.

it refuses to run unless it has the latest version,ī. There is definitely a version 5.6.1, because the first time I launched my 'new' Evernote, it upgraded automatically to that version, so, it is out there, somewhere.Ĥ) I'd call the CEO of Evernote (not kidding), and tell them that you are unable to use his software because:Ī. It seems, from your reply, that you still had to manually remove Evernote directories even after using Appzapper, is that correct? If so, then perhaps you're not using it properly - do you have an evaluation version that doesn't actually remove all the files?ġ) I'd use spotlight to search for 'evernote', and then remove any directories which it finds (I'm assuming that you're planning to restore from their central server, if not, then you should zip up your data directory first!).Ģ) I'd then reboot again, and try to install the latest version off the web.ģ) If that didn't work, then I'd try and find a version > 5.6.0 and install that. I'm surprised that Appzapper didn't do it. So, unless you reboot after removing the files, it's clearly not going to work. I found that was critical to making this work because, even after I erased the various files, Evernote was still keeping information in memory.
