I don't see a Zotero icon in the address bar - Safari Browser

    where else would you expect the icon to be active/visible? You get an active icon only on supported pages. For everything else, use right-click (ctrl+click)--> Save as Zotero Snapshot

    "I'm trying to get it to work on the stand alone version now, and am currently stuck as to why the "Z" icon on my safari window is grey with a (\) slash over the Z."

    Same here - Zotero on Mac seems to ONLY work on this page and the Adam Smith page on amazon, nowhere else on the web.

    as I say above, we'd need specific examples of pages that don't work that you think should.

    Here's one: http://www.sciencemag.org/

    Works in Firefox and not in Safari, even with all the Safari connectors and desktop (dmg) software. In Safari the "Z" n the toolbar is grayed out and does not save the url.

    if you actually just mean the sciencemag homepage, the extent to which that "works" in Firefox is quite limited too and hardly better than the right-click option I describe above. I'd have thought that'd show up in Safari as well, but it may well be that this differs.

    Individual articles in Science, though, should import pretty nicely, such as this one?

    That'd be the type of thing I'd be curious about -- import from the abstract pages of major scientific journals or item displays in library catalogs. If those aren't recognized in Safari for you, that'd be a good place to start troubleshooting.

    A.S. Thanks, I figured it out per your right-click advice. It works.

    Note that the upcoming version of the Safari connector will allow saving any webpage — even those without recognized metadata — via the main save icon, as has been the case for a while in Firefox and Chrome. The right-click option won't be necessary.
