Urgent Urgent! No response from Zotero

I have been using Zotero for my citations, and I have just finished my big project. Once I have collected everything together, the zotero does not respond. No reference is added. What can I do???
  • and I am using version 4.0 on Mac, Word 2011. Thanks!!!
  • What do you mean by "collected everything together?"
  • Please describe your situation in greater detail. Are you having problems opening Zotero? Entering items into Zotero? Importing articles from a database online? Adding citations to your document? I recognize that you have a crisis but please take care to clearly identify your problem.
  • Hello,
    My problem is the following. I have chapters in separate files. When I brought them together in another word file, word asked me a question like the information I put took a lot of space of the clipboard, would I like to keep this information there, and I thought this meant to be all the photos I had put, so I said no. I suspect that this was the original mistake. However, when I went back to my chapters, initially zotero did not work either. When I refreshed some of the citations, by editing them, then the bibliography worked. I eventually had to bring together 7 different bibliographies. I am wondering what the problem is and how I can resolve it. I need to recover the connection between my big file and Zotero functioning.
  • Otherwise I have no problem adding and editing the citations.
  • It sounds like you'd want to go back to the individual chapter files and start merging them again.
    What I'd advice you to do is to make a copy of the first chapter and then past all other chapter individually after that. Note that towards the end, things may get quite slow, i.e. inserting a bibliography on Mac Word for such a large file can easily take 15mins.
