Error Message When Trying to sync

jsmolenski · February 10, 2009

I have a fairly large library (1790 items), but only a handful have been synched at beta.zotero.org. When I tried to synch the entire library I got this error: "Error Processing Uploaded Data (39ec2836)". Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for the help.

I've been having the same problem.

I’m running the latest version of Zotero 1.5 Sync Preview 3.6 on three machines. Sync was working great on all three machines with a hundred or two titles. I just added about 8,000+ books from my Libronix digital library and another couple thousand from LibraryThing. Now I am unable to sync after a dozen or more attempts last night and again tonight. It times out for about 5–10 minutes and then shows a syncing error:

Sync with Zotero Server
Last error: Error processing uploaded data (Report ID: 35265403)

Another time the Report ID was fee7f073.

My guess was that Zotero just can’t handle this large of a database, but the person who controls the Zotero Twitter account told me, "you should be able to sync with tens of thousands of items, it might just take a while, post a message to the forums for more help."

So, any suggestions for how I can sync my Zotero database?

Both of these sync errors should now be fixed.

Great. 3.7 has fixed these problems for me. Thanks!
