Lost (?) citation library?
I use the Zotero app on my 2014 apple laptop and have a library called "dissertation" with hundreds of citations. I bought a new iMac yesterday and installed the app to try and populate my citations onto the new machine. Under Zotero>preferences>sync I typed in my username and password, restarted both apps and soon I saw the files populate into the new machine. Today I left the house and opened the laptop, and I have a whopping 11 files on my laptop's app that don't seem to be from inside of any library. When I log-in online, I see 12 different sources that I have entered in the past, however these are also not from any named library, and I cannot find my "dissertation" library on this machine or online. Why would this happen? Is it totally lost?
But I'm not totally clear on what the problem is. You still have a "Dissertation" collection in your online library with many items in it.
