sync errors from mac zotero v2.1.8

Our shared computers in our institution are running pre-v3 Zotero, with no possibility of easy upgrade (but I can pressure them if needed!). The Macs run 2.1.8, PCs 2.1.10. Occasionally our students use these shared computers for a Zotero assignment: they'll launch Firefox and enter their Zotero accounts under Prefs > Sync to access our group library.

What we're finding is that the PCs sync fine, but the Macs don't; three error reports have been sent your way (1449273909, 940842831, 226887524), from three separate Macs all running same version apps. Specifics seem to be below: the collection in question seems to have nothing wrong with it as far as we can tell on our end.

Would sure appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Jim

    Sorry, we're not able to support old versions (and particularly something before 2.1.10). The most likely outcome would be that it was due to a bug that we've already fixed, which would mean they would need to upgrade anyway.
  • Okay, will pressure our IT folks to upgrade...I guess it's difficult during school semesters!...
