Exporting the Onenote notebook from a Windows Onenote client results in a onepkg file. It is impossible to simply share the file to a Mac where Onenote is installed and then import the Onepkg file.
Is an excellent cross-platform solution for taking notes, storing research material and organizing the information you gather from any number of sources. Due to its ability to run on so many platforms, including Windows 10 PCs and smartphones, OS X, and iOS and Android devices, OneNote can let you save and access your information from anywhere. If you use OneNote on a PC or a Mac, however, and create notebooks with numerous image attachments, you might run into some trouble syncing to an iPhone or an iPad. Essentially, the issue is this: when you install, you may experience crashes and/or sync issues when the app attempts to sync large notebooks with many notes that include images. There’s no specified notebook size or number of affected notes, but the process of opening OneNote, allowing it to sync, then re-opening after a crash can be exceedingly tedious. There’s another short-term fix, however, as: simply turn off “Auto Sync Attachments.” This way, you’ll avoid the issue entirely, but won’t automatically have access to attachments on your iOS devices. Here’s the process: iPhone: To turn off automatic syncing of note attachments in OneNote on your iPhone, do the following: 1. On your iPhone, tap the Settings app.
Swipe down to the alphabetical list of installed apps and then tap the OneNote icon. Swipe down and, under the Sync heading, turn off the Auto Sync Attachments option.
Return to the OneNote app, and then try opening or syncing your large notebook again. IPad: To turn off automatic syncing of note attachments in OneNote on your iPad, do the following: 1. On your iPad, tap the Settings app. In the pane on the left, swipe down to the alphabetical list of installed apps and then tap the OneNote icon.
In the OneNote options pane on the right, swipe down and, under the Sync heading, turn off the Auto Sync Attachments option. Return to the OneNote app, and then try opening or syncing your large notebook again. We’re not sure why the iPhone and iPad have issues with managing these large notebooks in OneNote. Hopefully, Microsoft will create a fix in an upcoming version of the iOS app, and we’ll be sure to let you know if and when they do so.
20 Update: I’ve been meaning to update this for a whilewhile the process below should still work, updates Microsoft has made to OneNote for Mac over the last few months now allow you to Open a Notebook from SharePoint which will work for open a OneNote Notebook from both SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013. Original Post So you want to add a OneNote notebook in your SharePoint Site to OneNote for Mac? If you’ve ever tried to just go to Open, I’m sure you’ve noticed you can only select OneDrive or OneDrive for business.
Fortunately, I ran across this little “hack” accidentally the other day. You need to either have access to OneNote 2013 (it may also work with 2010) or know somone with OneNote 2013 that has access to the notebook you want to open. Yourself or them should right click on the notebook and then click “Copy Link to Notebook”. If someone is doing it for you, have them email you what is copied. If you are doing it yourself, just create a new email, Word Doc, or anything else that will recongize your hyperlink within Mac OS X. Click the Link with the Name of the NoteBook.
NOT the Web View. Bingo! You now have this notebook opened in OneNote for Mac! Now it would just be nice to Microsoft Update OneNote for Mac to be able to click Open and browse any SharePoint Site to Open a Notebook.
