Upgrade StorageMy library is gone
I recently went to the Apple store about a problem with my MacBook pro, so they wiped everything off my computer and restored it. So, Firefox got deleted in the process.
Now Zotero is also gone, and when I log in to my Zotero account online, my files aren't there either. It seems that maybe while I was using Zotero, my files I had in the library weren't syncing? Now everything is gone.
Where can I find my old library?

dstillmanedited November 1, 2012If you don't have a backup of your Zotero data directory and you weren't syncing, you can't, unless they just created a new user account and left the old one in place. (You can check in the Users & Groups system preference pane, but that's beyond the scope of what we can help you with here.)

DWL-SDCADo use Time Machine? If not, you should buy an external drive (about US$100) and use it. Was your drive readable before the "repair" work was done? It is possible that your old FF profile (where Zotero data is stored) may still exist on your drive.
