I use linking extensively in OneNote and the ability to jump backwards and forwards through the history of pages I've been either selecting or jumping to through a link is essential. However on iOS I can't work out how to jump back to the page I've come from after I've clicked a link. Is this possible?

Whenever I take a screenshot (copied to clipboard) in my Macbook Air M1 and paste it into OneNote its dimensions seem to be much less than the original. Here is an example: (both screenshots below were taken using cmd-shift-s, the edited keybinding for capturing pictures copied to clipboard) **Original:** **Pasted into OneNote:** The same goes for any pdf I print into OneNote- the image of each page is scaled down; how can I fix this?

I've remapped my home and end keys to behave like Windows using https://damieng.com/blog/2015/04/24/make-home-end-keys-behave-like-windows-on-mac-os-x/ Shift+end highlights text from the cursor to the end of the line. Shift+home highlights to the beginning of the line. This works in all applications I've used since remapping - EXEPT MS OneNote. Anyone know why OneNote might behave differently? MS Outlook, MS Word, Mac Text Edit, Mac Notes - all work as I'd like. What would cause OneNote to respond with an error beep as compared to the other apps? I don't have any custom key mappings in system/keyboard setup for OneNote. MacOS: 12.3.1 MacBook Pro M1, 14"

I’m trying to highlight typed text on my iPad in OneNote with an Apple Pencil. I am able to do this with the highlighter option on the Draw tab, but the highlights are ink. If I insert a line of text above my highlights, the text shifts but the ink highlights don’t. Is there a way to use the text highlighting on the Home tab with the Apple Pencil? When I try, I can select the text highlight tool with the Apple Pencil, but when I try to use it, it draws ink when I try to highlight text. Or is there a way to get the ink to shift with text if I insert lines without having to jump through hoops?

iPad Air 5th gen gets massively hot and drains battery, when using just any note taking app and Apple Pencil. Even if I do not have any Note taking app active, when I just attach the Pencil to the side (connected to iPad), the iPad gets very hot and drains battery. Is this normal for iPad?

I was using OneNote for Mac, and created 30+ folders and content. I have an iMac with Time Machine backup. I took my iMac to a computer shop and got an upgrade to my hard drive. When the computer was returned, all of the programs worked, with the exception of OneNote, the One Note App icon bounced up and down and did not open. I spoke to a technician who said folders should be in the OneDrive cloud, but after checking the OneNote cloud, none of these folders where there. The technician recommended I remove OneNote for Mac, and re-install. I did, and OneNote worked, but none of my previously created folders appeared. Next I tried to go into the Time Machine, back in time, and see the ~/Library/Containers/com.microsfot.onenote.mac files from different dates. I copied a version and tried to replace the currently working com.microsoft.onenote.mac file with the version from TimeMachine, but when I did this and re-ran OneNote, the OneNote for Mac App icon returned to bouncing up and down, and had to be force quit, removed, then reinstalled. Has anyone had this problem with OneNote for Mac and been able to successfully recover and recreate their folder structure and content? Does anyone know how I can recover the OneNote folders that I created before taking my computer to the shop? Is it possible for me to use a version of OneNote that will read these folders and import them back into OneNote? I put a lot of information into this folders and really want to be able to view them and their content in One Note, again.

I use Microsoft OneNote on my Mac. How can I can turn off the Internet access to Microsoft OneNote on my Mac?

Following these instructions I closed the Notebook in *OneNote for Mac* (version 16.52), renamed the Notebook in *OneDrive* and re-opened the renamed Notebook in *OneNote for Mac*. Unfortunately the rename is ignored by *OneNote for Mac* and then the synchronisation fails immediately after opening as the Notebooks are inconsistently named. Sync error: > This section might have been deleted from the server. You can try to sync this section again, or copy your notes to another section. I have tried to open the Notebook in *OneNote online*: the Notebook opens correctly and shows the correct new name. I have deleted the Microsoft OneNote container in my user Library, plus any other reference I could find in my user Library related to Microsoft OneNote. I have tried closing the Notebook in *OneNote for Mac*, opening in *OneNote online*, make changes in the Notebook so that it forces a synchronisation, and then re-opening the Notebook in *OneNote for Mac*. The update made in *OneNote online* shows on the Mac, however changes on the Mac are not synchronised back to the online repository of the Notebook due to above error.

"Create a new notebook" with OneNote for Mac is not possible in offline mode. :( Editing and updating your notebook, however, works flawlessly in offline mode. My question is: where does OneNote for Mac store its Notebook files (for offline work)? Also, I would love to find a workaround to use OneNote in offline mode and to block sync in my firewall.

I cannot upgrade to Yosemite- company policy- but would still love to use OneNote. Does anyone know a link where I can download the older version? thanks

I just realized that I have a folder and OneNote Notebook (that is located in a another folder) with the same name. Is this a bad idea? Could the filesystem mix them up?

When I try to create a new notebook in OneNote for Mac, I receive the following error: > Cannot Create This Notebook > > The location may not be available at > this time, or you might not have permission to save files on it. Also > try using fewer characters in your notebook name.

This question is at superuser.com but I can't get any of the answers to work on macOS. Onenote gives you two links and the 2nd one should open in the app. onenote:https://xxxx-my.sharepoint.com/personal/my_name/Documents/Anotebookname/Notebook.one#ASectionName/etc/etc/&end I've tested putting the onenote:link into a few apps and it only opens up the web app. If I put them directly into safari, then that works and opens up the OneNote Desktop app. My goal is to put links to specific OneNote pages into my the notes area of the Things App. Does something have to go in the front of it to tell the app(IE, Things) to redirect to the App or Safari?

This is what happened: I upgraded my passwords on different services, including Microsoft's, which I only use it to work with OneNote. As expected, all apps with login changes asked me to re-login, no issues there. Except with OneNote. I've been using OneNote in this MBP Sierra for a long time without any problem. It prompted me it couldn't sync with the cloud, understandably, and asked for the correct login info, so I did like I did with other apps. But here's what happens: I enter my e-mail, click Next: And that's all she wrote. I can't put in a password; it gets stuck there forever. I've tried reinstalling; reinstalling with a mac reboot in between; uninstall, update everything and install back... Always cleaning the plist's, cache's, etc. with CleanMyMac. No luck. It's the only office product I use. And it gets stuck whatever I write as the username. I can log online fine. But OneNote in local is stuck. I've talked to the "Office support team" on the chat, and then over the phone, to no avail. The phone assistant who was supposed to be the last resort could only tell me to sign out and in again, having missed that I'm not logged in. Well, they did give me a link to prior versions, same problem. So I'm thinking something's fishy with my mac. I've observed weird behavior from the Console. At the beginning you could tell the thing was in a loop: After reinstalling back the newest version again, I see this: But then it goes back to the last capture with green arrows. Reading "keychain" there made me think maybe OneNote has always stored the password there (I don't recall, honestly) and it has some meltdown because it's not a valid password anymore. So I opened the Keychain app and found one instance of "OneNote" with the password "M" (??). Weird. I deleted that entry... and it's still stuck the way you see it from the captures. What can I do? Are there any caches or files I should do something with? It's still seemingly prompting the keychain...

I have the latest iPad pro 2020 firmware and the latest Microsoft OneNote installed. When using OneNote on my Windows computer I can use the little arrow below the scroll bar to get more empty space. How can I do this on my iPad?

I am a little bit confused. I want to use an iPad with Sidecar and OneNote on a MacBook Pro. Everything is working fine, but if I select "Text mode" under drawing, I am not able to control my cursor with the Apple Pencil, instead the pencil is drawing lines which can only be erased by selecting a pen under "Draw" in OneNote. I simply need to control the cursor with the Apple Pencil. Is that possible?

I have some old OneNote files (with .one) extension from those long ago years when I still suffered from Windows. Additionally I have some current template files with .one extensions. I no longer have (or want) access to a Windows machine with or without OneNote. Does any means exist for me to import such files into my new OneNote for Mac?

I recently switched from a Windows PC to a MacBook Pro at my job. It's been extremely difficult to try and get my notebooks imported to onenote on my new mac. For someone reason, I don't see any feature that would allow me to import from my external drive/desktop. The only option I get is to import from onedrive but being that there are so many firewalls on the network, this makes it even more impossible. PLEASE HELP!!!

I've been trying to do some OCR with Microsoft OneNote and am experimenting with what font seems to work the best. While some seem to be relatively good, I'm curious if anyone has any experience with OCR and has found a font to be nearly error proof? I found that Fixedsys causes errors at times, but not sure if something traditional like Courier or Helvetica would do better?

Searching for tagged content within a notebook in OneNote for Windows is straightforward. There's a **Find Tags** menu option. This option does not seem to exist in OneNote for Mac 2016. There's nothing to the right of **To Do Tag**. Therefore, you can't search your notebook for "discuss with manager", for instance.
