Library gone after using new computer
Hello, I changed my computer recently, and as I downloaded Zotero and Zotero Connector again, I realised that even on my Zotero browser account all my stored ressources are gone! is there any chance to recover my previous library? Who can I contact with this?
Thank you, Julia
Thank you, Julia
Could it be that I installed Zotero on my new harddisk and then my online browser library synchronised with the empty one on my computer, thereby deleting everything?
@dstillman can check, but I'd be surprised if you ever had your library synced successfully
Once you have you can access your old harddisk, we can tell you how to retrieve your database from there. (General instructions here: https://www.zotero.org/support/zotero_data#restoring_your_zotero_library_from_a_backup1 )
Ok, then I will do so and in case I need your help I'll contact you again. I thought sync would work, since I managed to do the transition from using Zotero only as web application (I did everything in the firefox browser) to a desktop application (Zotero for Windows). So I was able to import my online library to the desktop application. But apparently I missed some important steps in syncronizing Z.
