(translated from the original since I'm not allowed to swear on here, lol) What a lot of trouble you have gone to Delenn13. I really, really appreciate it. It is however, going to take a while to digest. Back when 3.0 came out I did spend some considerable time trying to upgrade from 2.2 but decided that it was all too difficult and I couldn't see me wanting to have any notes near the net. I refer to them all the time and I'm often off-line (through necessity) and I had gathered the impression that you required the website to use 3.0. I may be wrong there, but I will read all you have given me and give it another go, trying to push out the fear of change, lol. Your second bit above just about gave me a heart attack, I had to have a cuppa and a lie down after I had read that! So, I will concentrate on your first lot for now. I will copy it all into Evernote 2.2 and read it slowly and try again. I know what you mean about needing to upgrade to Firefox 3.0. I have a baddie attached to Firefox that Avast asks me to delete every time I open Firefox, but somehow it just doesn't get deleted. Even running Avast frequently doesn't remove it. And then FDM tries to download a file named 'st'. This goes on every day. So, I have just downloaded Threatfire and Malwarebytes to see if they can do anything to help. Although I know that deleting the 'old' Firefox and installing Firefox 3.0 would maybe end this annoying problem. Maybe! I have got Firefox 3.0 going on my daughter's new laptop, but she doesn't use Evernote so there are no issues there. Sorry I hijacked that other thread, I've smacked my hand, but I'm delighted to get such a great response from you, so it was worth it!!! Sorry too about the late response, no net yet again yesterday. I'm considering writing a thread on my solar power/generator/vodem problems, it's all like an unbelieveable horror story. delenn13 on "Evernote 2.2 For NolafromNZ" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6058#post-63011 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 18:02:05 +0000 delenn13 63011@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Got an Admiral Seed from someone :) about "forcing the extension" to work: Making Extensions Compatible – THE HARD WAY This is essentially a manual way of accomplishing the result of using the Nightly Tester Tools extension. The advantage of this way is in total control over which extensions you’ll hack to become compatible. The disadvantage is in the fact that every step of this method is rather hard: distinguishing extensions to make sure you’re changing the one you really want, and manually changing the versions supported. 1. Close your browser 2. Go to the folder with all your Firefox extensions: C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\PROFILE\extensions In this line, USER is to be replaced with your Windows login, and PROFILE will be the name of your Firefox profile (weird looking folder name, usually the only one found in Profiles folder) 3. You’ll see a list of folders there, 1 folder for each extension. The names of the folders are the unique identifiers for extensions, so they may seem scary at first: {34274bf4-1d97-a289-e984-17e546307e4f} – this is the Adblock extension GUID. 4. Go to any folder, and open the install.rdf file for editing with your favorite clear text editor. Notepad works, but using it will make things even harder cause it doesn’t part rdf files properly. Your choice :) Now back to the business. You need to look for 2 things: * name of the extension, to make sure you’re editing the right one Just look for the em:name, and try to recognize the extension from the description that follows: o <!– Front End MetaData –> <em:name>Adblock</em:name> <em:description>Filters ads from web-pages</em:description> <em:creator>The Adblock Crew</em:creator> <em:contributor>Henrik Aasted Sorensen</em:contributor> * a block of minimal and maximum Firefox versions the extension will work on. Warning: there could be few similar blocks with versions, so make sure you’ll edit the one which has EXACTLY this em:id, the one which belongs to Firefox browser: ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384. o <!– FireFox –> <em:targetApplication> <Description> <em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id> <em:minVersion>0.7</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>1.5</em:maxVersion> </Description> </em:targetApplication> 5. Edit the maxVersion parameter (shown in bold to make it easier), and change it from 1.5 to 3.5... 6. Remove the extensions.cache file from the C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\PROFILE\ folder – this will make sure Firefox will read all the changes from install.rdf files and pick up the now “compatible” extension 7. Restart your browser, enable the previously disabled extension you’ve just edited 8. Restart your browser again to activate this extension Keep in mind..I can't test this as I don't have EN 2 anymore. I would definitely try this in a "virtual environment". Or back up Firefox with <a href="http://customsoftwareconsult.com/extensions/febe/febe.html">FEBE Firefox Extension</a>(which has saved my Butt many a time). delenn13 on "Evernote 2.2 For NolafromNZ" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6058#post-63009 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:56:00 +0000 delenn13 63009@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ NolafromNZ said in another thread... "Delenn13 Maybe you can help with a problem I have? I am sticking with Evernote 2.2 as I tried to convert my 2.2 database into the new Evernote and failed miserably. Besides I know just what I'm doing in 2.2. However, the reason I haven't upgraded to Firefox 3 is because at the time the Evernote plug in wasn't available and I have worried since that it would only be for 3.0 anyway. Would you know if Firefox will still install the Evernote 2.2 plug in (with the wavy lines as opposed to the 'elephant' representing the latest Evernote)? Sorry to take days to get back to this thread, still having major computer/net issues, so I am only able to spend a short time on the laptop each day. Since I am notorious for being OT(That's Off Topic, not On Topic), I thought I would start a new thread for Nola. Yes, I had problems when I, first , switched to Evernote 3. But for security reasons you really, really need to install FireFox 3. If you have Returnil, Sandboxie or some other type of Virtual program you could try it in that first to see if it works. To import your files from EN 2 to 3. "There's an "Import" menu item in the Note menu. You must select your full EN 2.2 database file (ending in .enb) to import. But, IIRC, I think it "imported" to ONE big folder and you have to move each file or folder into Evernote 3. You can run the 2 programs at the same time as to get used to the new one. Make sure you back up your stuff from EN 2 before you do it as a precaution. I don't think it will matter but "always better to be safe than sorry". I did my switch soon after EN 3 was available so I don't remember as to what all happened. Sorry. I found a thread concerning the Evernote 2 Web Clipper <a href="http://www.evernote.com/pub/ensupport/faq#Note/da40a50d-54db-479b-aff9-22e44dfa39cb">How can I install Evernote's clipper for Firefox 3?</a> But all the links are no longer valid. :( If you still have the addon for EN 2, it might work..but I doubt it.

If you need more help..just ask. :) I do have Evernote set up in my RSS feeds so I get all the latest news and update notifications as I only run EN when I need it.
