Symptom

Several users confirmed they solved the problem by opening the.onetoc2 version of the problematic file. As a quick reminder, the.ONETOC2 file is actually a table of contents file that OneNote generates to better organize your notes. It’s usually located under C: Users UserName AppData Roaming Microsoft OneNote. Tweak Your Registry Settings.

When you try to access a OneNote page, you receive the following error:

Content Not Yet Available
Sorry, it looks like this page was added from another computer and hasn't synced yet. Click here or press ENTER to reload this page.

Cause

Onenote not opening on mac

This issue occurs for one of the following reasons:

  • Your OneNote Notebook content is not synced completely with the SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business server.
  • You are disconnected from internet.
  • Your account is not authenticated (that is, you are not signed-in).
  • The OneNote client is offline.

Resolution

Check to see whether the page (or section) is in one of the following states:

  • Opened and accessed across different devices. Check whether the content is visible on another device.
  • Shared with multiple users. Check whether other users experience the same problem.
    • If 'no' (content is visible), move the available content to a new section.
    • If 'yes' (content isn't visible), consider the next two options.
  • Stored in OneDrive for Business. Follow the steps in Restore your OneDrive to restore the content to a previous state.
  • Stored in SharePoint Online. If so, follow the steps in Restore your OneDrive to identify whether the content is in a restorable state.

    Note

    SharePoint Online retains backups of all content for 14 additional days beyond actual deletion. If content cannot be restored through the Recycle Bin or Files Restore, an administrator can contact Microsoft Support to request a restoration any time inside the 14-day window.

Why this error occurs

When you use OneNote, it is important that you give each page and section adequate time to reach our servers. The status of this operation for a given page is indicated by the cloud icon on the ribbon. If not enough time has passed, the customer may receive the 'Content Not Yet Available' error message for the page. This can occur when you view the page from another device, from the OneNote app, or in a browser window.

The speed at which notes can be retrieved might be affected by poor network connections, organizational traffic, and geographic location. In these situations, the error should resolve itself within a few hours, at most, after the underlying cause is corrected.

Why Will My Onenote Not Sync

Best practices for saving pages

To make sure that your data is synced to the cloud, you must see the successful sync status icon before you exit your OneNote session (whether by closing the OneNote app or by closing the browser session).

Note

OneNote Online (OneNote on the Web) and the OneNote on Teams client have no local caches. Using either app in offline mode may cause unrecoverable data loss, if the sync does not connect to the server.
OneNote 2016 and OneNote for Win 10 each keep a cached copy of your pages on your device. We recommend that you use them offline until the next time that you connect to the internet. By that time, all the changes that you made will be synced to OneDrive so that you'll be able to see the changes on other devices.

A 'successful sync' icon can appear in either of the following user interface locations:

  • A page has not been saved because of network issues and OneNote is trying to reconnect.
