Onenote Merging Problems

Question

Hey guys

My primary 'page' which I use for most of my daily to do's, constantly displays this message

at the top in yellow:

"We couldn't merge some changes.  Click here to see page versions with unmerged changes"

When I click the the notification, It expands about 50 pages, all saying "This page isn't available yet.  It was added from another device that didn't finish syncing , You'll be able to use it when that device syncs"

I use OneNote 2013 in my work laptop and desktop, and also iPhone and Skydrive. To my knowledge, all of them are synced and up to date but I still get these errors.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I also have this problem. Did you find a resolution?

Answer 2

I had the same problem, close both One Note on your computer and on the IPAD, re-open and

it resolved itself.

Answer 3

I think I would create a new page, copy-paste the contents of your original page, remove the original page and rename the new page. Perhaps not super elegant, but should work.

Answer 4

Dear OneNote Community, 

I now have a similar problem to the one described above. 

I have OneNote 2013 app installed on my PC.  When I tried to start this app I get the following 2 messages:-

1.  “"We couldn't merge some changes.  Click here to see page versions with unmerged changes"
2.  Then Then a small window appears  with 

Microsoft OneNote has stopped working

A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly.

Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

The OneNote app then closes. It allows no time to allow syncing or any interaction with the OneNote app.

The OneNote App on the iPad, phone and with the web all appear to work OK. 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Any suggestions on what to do when it doesn't let you copy-past the contents? I'm having the same problem where it says "This page isn't available yet. It was added from another device that didn't finish syncing. You'll be able to use it when that device syncs" however this is the only device I own or use so there obviously isn't another device that could be syncing... when I right click the pages that say this on them the only option I have is to delete them, there's no way to view the content let alone copy it. Any suggestions would be very appreciated!
