Hi Everyone,

I am trying to redownload Zotero on my new macbook air but everytime I try and run the file it comes up with the message - 'unable to check for updates', 'please check your internet and try again'.
I have tried re downloading and I have checked my proxy settings on the wifi but nothing is amiss.
What do I do?
  • You'd want to see Connection Error for the general network problem, but to start you can just reinstall Zotero from the download page.
  • I have turned off all proxies and have re downloaded multiple times
  • All the information we can provide is on that page. This is a problem with the network connection on your computer, not a problem in Zotero itself. If this is an institutional computer, you should ask your IT department to look at that page and help you.
  • But also, just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, if Zotero can't connect to the network, that wouldn't stop you from using Zotero — it would just break various internet-connected functionality. Is that what you're talking about?
