    I'm getting two errors on my desktop iMac when using syncpreview 1.5-sync2.1. it's working fine on my macbook pro, set up with my iDisk.

    both computers have this latest version, and both computers are able to verify the idisk.

    the errors are:
    "last error: download request already exists in zotero.sync.storage.addRequest()"

    "last error: Conflict! Last known mod time does not match remote time!"


    Thanks for your help. Seems like a great service.

    regards,
    Bobby

    "last error: download request already exists in zotero.sync.storage.addRequest()"

    I have this error as well (but no clue how to solve the problem)

    what URL are you putting in to get synching on your idisk? I've been using

    https://idisk.mac.com/username/Public

    says it's not a valid webdav URL :(((

    the same here. i just purchased a mobileme pack with my new mac because i thought it would work with zotero, but zotero refuses to accept idisk as a webdav server.

    Does the WebDAV URL work from the web browser?

    synching worked initially for me. Also with attachments (I use the gmx-mediacenter for file storage). However, after some days without any problems somehow the synching got stuck on both computers showing the error:

    last error: download request already exists in zotero.sync.storage.addRequest()

    I didn´t really search the forum, I just clicked on everything that looked as if it could solve the problem (clear server data, reset server lock, reseet client) without really knowing what I´m doing. Maybe that was not a very good idea. At least it did not solve the problem.

    Same errors here. I use Vista SP1, the latest Firefox 3 and Jungle Disk. Bought all the account in the hope that it works with Zotero. Can't wait to see file syncing work out. The developers are doing a great job here!

    I have trashed all my databases using the sync beta versions. I have various backups (but none are perfect). backup by copying the whole zotero folder is best. I will probably have to go back to imperfect backups and cut my losses. I love this program. I am using www.mydocsonline.com as a webdav server. it was working before I got all screwed up with every error (reconcilliation, download request already exists). I have all my records on both sites but attachments show up but don't launch. this is inspite of huge downloads from the storage server. Attachments just can not be found. I love zotero (but it has sucked some time recently). still love it and need it.

    General solution to most Sync Preview–related problems, assuming you have all your data on one side (or can export via RDF the amount that's different):

    1) Back up and erase zotero.sqlite, zotero.sqlite.bak, and 'storage' on one side.

    2) On the other side, use Clear Server Data and—if you had storage-related problems (such as Zotero.Sync.Storage.* and mod time messages)—Reset Storage History.

    3) From the same side as #2, restart Firefox and open Zotero to start a sync, which should upload all your metadata to the Zotero server and all your files to your WebDAV server.

    4) Open Firefox and Zotero on the other side to pull down all your data and files.

    5) If errors reoccur (not counting "reconciliation unimplemented" errors, which just indicate that you've triggered a conflict that isn't yet supported), let us know, as, among other things, they may indicate incompatibilities with certain WebDAV providers.

    Idisk problems...

    Make sure you make the directory zotero in your public folder. NOTE, it's case sensitive, so will not work if you make Zotero etc....
