Can't connect Zotero to internet; can't sync/link an internet file to Zotero
:))
Sorry but I don't know if I should call this syncing or linking, or simply say that I can't connect Zotero to the internet.
This only occurs when the icon next to the address bar is a Z inside a grey circle, unhighlighted. Sometimes there is a diagonal line running through the icon, sometimes there isn't. Either way, nothing happens when I click the icon. Seems like it could mean that Zotero is closed, but no, it's open.
Yet when another icon appears, I can link/sync/connect just fine. The other icon is a wide, veritical rectangle, with some boxes in it, and a little stand at the bottom. Reminds me of a gas pump at a gas station (American English).
PDFs always get this icon, but it didn't used to be this way. Seems like I might have downloaded or deleted a program or an add-on of some sort. I downloaded Windows for Mac recently. For a while that was working okay, but not anymore. Could the root of the problem be the same?
What's happening?
I have a MacBook Air, mid-2013 model, with OS X 10.10.2. Don't know if this matters or not.
Thanks much

You can also drag the URL from Safari to Zotero to import the PDF.
