Nothing's In My Library?

melnbow
I have added so much information into my Zotero account. When I log in and click on "My Library", it says that I don't have anything in it. When I click onto the "Zotero" button at the bottom of my browser window, I can view it all there. Why is this?

    Are you using 1.5b2 & are you syncing your data? If not, your library on the site will be empty.

    i have no clue what that means?

    i downloaded Zotero like 3 months ago, so I probably downloaded the latest version, but i don't know which one, and I have a Mac OS X 10.5.4, so it should be compatible, right? How do I sync my data????

    Go to Tools->Add-ons in Firefox to see what version of Zotero you're running. If you're not running 1.5, you'll need to get it from our homepage. Then take a look at the documentation.

    running 1.5b2
    When I roll over the "Sync w/ Zotero Server" button I get this error message:

    "Last error: User name not set in Zotero.Sync.Server.login()"

    From the documentation link above:
    Enter your zotero.org username and password in the Sync tab of the Zotero preferences.
