mac Endnote 6 to Zotero-can't export
I am a Mac user having trouble importing my Endnote libraries from Endnote 6 into Zotero. I have followed the instructions, and exported via RefMan (RIS). It created a simple text file on my desktop, but it will not import into Zotero.I get an error message asking if the library is valid. Any suggestions? Johnallen.
This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Instead of commenting here, you should start a new discussion. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Have you tried to import a subset of it?
I suggest you try a single record & see if it imports. If it does, try one half of your whole collection. If that fails, try the other half. You can then cut the failing half in two & try to determine what record or records cause the failure.
Please report the failing record & the exact error message.

The url you want to go to is just 'about:config' (NOT 'http://www.zotero.org/about:config') and you should see something like:

I wouldn't characterize 'unresponsive script' as being a mac-specific issue and most probably don't encounter it in day-to-day use (smaller imports). Still, I'd expect you to be able to import more than two references. Is your computer particularly slow?
Could you send your hanging 35 reference library (exported as RIS) to support@zot...org? We'll take a look at it to see what's going on.
Thanks.
