synching worked on 3/4 computer - ibook G4 running OSX 10.4.11 error

Worked great on XP laptop, MacBook Pro running 10.5, and uptodate iMac.
Old iBook G4 running OSX 10.4.11 generates an error when doing first time synch even though everything seems to be set up right.

Here is the error popup:

error
attachmentPath cannot be set for link attachments

After I hit OK, another window comes up momentarily that seems to have cancel or done buttons for some kind of manual synch selection in three columns (although they are blank). It only comes up for a second and then disappears with no input from me. Could not get a screenshot, but didn't look very informative.

Any suggestions for troubleshooting? I tried re-installing zotero, restoring the original zotero folder to the alternate Firefox profile directory, etc. Each time I get back to the first synch it fails the same way.

the zotero account password should be OK since it is the same as on my other machinces, the WebDAV verifies to my .Mac account, the synch starts but fails everytime.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks
  • Do you have Zotero data you need in this profile? If not, have you tried Reset from Server in the Reset tab of the Sync pane of the Zotero prefs?
  • reset doesn't work. i switched my posts over to another thread. the one related to the server side errors that were fixed very quickly.
    slowly sorting things out.
    thanks!
