OneNote is only available for the PC

You could use Virtual PC for the Mac to run OneNote.

We don't have OneNote on MacOS. On the other hand, we have the Note view
in Word which might provide you with everything you need from OneNote...

Setup a Google alert for:
"evernote Mac"
"Onenote Mac"

and watch what happens.

Your best bet is to purchase Office 2004 which has a notebook feature
that is Word-compatible.

The main thing it is missing is the autosave feature from Onenote
--Onenote requires no saving. I also love the Freeform nature of
Onenote --that can be duplicated with Pages, unfortunately, it is much
more complex. (Pages doesn't do the Notebook/autosave functionality.)

I love Onenote, and I thank the Onenote team for it. Unfortunately,
dw.exe errors plagued me using Internet Explorer and Word. Microsoft TS
never called me back, they almost had it resolved. But I just got fed
up.

It was probably a corrupt file.

I hope Microsoft will come out with Onenote for the Mac.

Here are some tips to find replacements for Onenote. You will likely
not get all of the functionality in one app.

Check the "Document Management, Archive, and Retrevial" category. There
you will find apps like Curio, which may be suitable.

Also check the "Ideas Processing" category. Onenote primarily fits into
this category, although many like me use it as a way of managing scraps
of information that would ordinarily be put into documents.
