[Windows Phone 7 General] zevrosenthal:
Please forgive me, I am having troublle following the directions

Please forgive an old man who has gone through all the posts and tried each step but is still having problems. I've condensed the post(s) below and put my comments/experience in CAPS hoping it is clearer and makes more sense than my prior post.

Sorry if I wasn't clear in my prior post, on my Windows Phone 7, I only have 1 notebook displayed - Personal (Web) - and when i "TAP A NOTEBOOK TO REFRESH IT", I get the "can't find notebook" error.

I have tried to create a new notebook called "Personal (Web)" in the folder My Documents on Skydrive but the phone doesn't seem to recognize it on they syn.

I have also put a few other notebooks into the My Documents folder on Skydrive and tried the sync on the phone but still get the "Can't find notebook" error. I can't seem to figure out how to push another notebook to the phone so I can then make that one the default on the phone.

Any suggestions. If I've missed something in these posts, can you please point it out to me so i can fix it as I thought i hit each step but am still floundering. I know some others had a similar problem (posts here and elsewhere) but, at least, they had other notebooks already sync'd to their phone so they could name a new notebook as default. I just have the 1 "Personal (Web) that i can't get to sync to the server."

**************************************

I had this problem too and it was a little weird way that sorted it out but I'll try to remember

I don't have my Omnia 7 temporarily but try this out.

1. Go to OneNote on your computer and create a new notebook to sync to "My Documents" on SkyDrive. DONE

2. Name it Personal (Web) DONE

3. Create a few random notes and pages on it. DONE

4. Try to sync your phone now. GETTING "CAN'T FIND NOTEBOOK" ERROR

5. Hopefully it has created a new note called "Unfiled" or something and the Personal Web should work now IT DID NOT

6. Set Personal Web as your default SINCE 4 FAILED I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER NOTEBOOKS OR

7. Delete Unfiled.. UNABLE TO DO

Does that work? NO

As I said earlier, I don't have the OMnia 7 with me so the instructions might be a load of tosh

Let me know!

Default notebook lost on skydrive

Unfortunately it did not work. I build that new notebook on skydrive, but the phone still cannot see it. SAME PROBLEM FOR ME

*******************************************

maybe scoob will help you.

if not, my omnia 7 is coming back on fri so will help you then

did you make the notebook from your desktop Onenote program? YES

you can try sync a random notebook as in the link before and then set that as default on your phone. I CAN CREATE NEW NOTEBOOKS AND SYNC WITH SKYDRIVE BUT MY PHONE ONLY HAS THE PERSONAL (WEB) NOTEBOOK ON IT AND, ANYTIME I PRESS THE SYNC BUTTON ON THE PHONE, I GET THE 'CAN'T FIND NOTEBOOK' ERROR

then you should be able to delete the PErsonal (web) one from your phone.

try that!

*****************************************

I just tried that and it worked. I created another notebook from my pc on skydrive, connected on the phone via browser, set it as default and deleted the personal (web).

Thanks for your help, thought I get crazy because I just had organized everything on my new phone. AS ABOVE, I CREATED ANOTHER NOTEBOOK ON MY PC AND SYNC'D TO SKYDRIVE. NOT SURE WHAT "CONNECTED ON THE PHONE VIA BROWSER, SET AS DEFAULT" MEANS. I CAN'T SEE ANYWHERE IN EITHER ONENOTE ON THE PC OR ONENOTE ON THE WEB HOW TO SET A DEFAULT NOTEBOOK ????
