Lost references after changing computer
Hi all.
I have recently change my computer (both microsoft surface pro).
All my references from the period I had my previous computer are now gone although I am using the same login.
What can I do to recover these references?
I do not have access to my previous computer.

Ouch! I was under the impression that Zotero synced this automatically.
I do not see the missing references in my web library, and my previous computer is lost.
Does this mean the missing references are also lost or is there hope to restore them some way?
but otherwise I'm afraid they're lost.
(Zotero prompts you to set up syncing when you start using it but it doesn't do it automatically; you can use it entirely locally)
I realized that the reason they have not been synced to the web library is likely that I have reached my file storage quota. I had not noticed that before. So the references have likely been saved on my computer only and not in the web library.
dstillmann, I have it set for automatic sync, so I still do not understand the reason for the missing references.
As i can work backwards with the extraction of refs, I'll be free of my biggest issues, so I don't think I'll be putting more effort into figuring out how it happened.
But I will check weblibrary from time to time from now on.
Thanks again both
There may have been other errors on the previous computer, but alas, I will move forward.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
