Database cannot be opened
Hey all,
Hoping to get some help with an issue I've been having. I recently got a new laptop and used the migration assistant to transfer over my files from my previous computer. Zotero didn't transfer so I re-downloaded it from the internet. I've run into what seems to be a pretty common problem with people here, but I'm just lost as a new Mac user and not a technologically gifted person.
I tried going into users--> my initials --> Zotero and then making all the permissions "read and write." That didn't solve the problem.
I also tried this terminal thing with the "Zotero debug" code and this is what it gives me:
JavaScript error: chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/db.js, line 686: Error: Error(s) encountered during statement execution: attempt to write a readonly database [QUERY: REPLACE INTO settings VALUES ('db', 'integrityCheck', 1)] [PARAMS: ] [ERROR: attempt to write a readonly database]
Missing chrome or resource URL: chrome://zotero/skin/16/white/loading.svg
UNSUPPORTED (log once): POSSIBLE ISSUE: unit 1 GLD_TEXTURE_INDEX_2D is unloadable and bound to sampler type (Float) - using zero texture because texture unloadable
Does anyone have any thoughts/should I be trying something else? Am I even doing the things right?
