Pero yo creo que salvé el archivo adecuado en una copia de Time machine que creo es zotero.sqlite
Sin embargo, no hay manera de que me lo abra. Creo que está colocado en el sitio adecuado pero no se ve nada.

However Time machine has been copying the hd for months/years and I am not able to find the zotero.sqlite anywhere.
At this point I don´t think I have the data file located. I had one but it is only 1mb and it does not work.
Please provide tips to locate it within the back up copies: I cannot find a folder for zotero or the file itself
thanks,
Check that on your backup.
anyhow...thanks...I have an appointment with another genius at Mac later this evening....if he is not able to figure it out,....i may give up or try your last suggestion....before starting to input the data again manually....
thanks anyway
I think I solved the problem by finding the storage folder and zoter.sqlite file in the FIREFOX folder. Then, did what advised by you in previous messages: move those to the desktop in an temp folder and then copy their corresponding back-ups in the active folder of zotero under Zotero.
The library seems to be intact.
As a suggestion, I recommend to advise people that it is OK to remove files from a Folder like Firefox and copy the backup files into a different folder (Zotero). The genius had a problem believing that - I can understand- that would make a bit more clear I think.
now, I have a final problem for which I ask for help:
when I try to sync zotero so I have the library in the web, it gives me a message of conflict that says:
Resolución de conflicto
El siguiente item se ha cambiado en múltiples ubicaciones. Elija la versión que desea conservar, y entonces pulse continuar
it shows:
objeto local borrado
objeto remoto (red colour)
unir objeto
apparently the choice is between objeto local or remoto...I imagine that I have to choose remoto but it scares me that it says objeto local borrado (since I just get it back)
don´t want to lose it again
please advise, thanks
