Again, many thanks. This has been most helpful for me, and for all amongst us who are inclined to think that our machines are not likely to fail. Thank you again.
-
Thank you very much. That answers my original question. It also points to problems that one may encounter should a home computer unexpectedly fail for some reason or another. You have been very helpful. Thank you very much.

As I read your information on syncing from your website, it seems that all of the focus is on syncing a home based machine with your Zotero servers. Am I right? And, if I am right, I am inclined to ask: Is it not possible to sync two home-based ma…
-
No. My libraries are not synced to the Zotero servers.
-
I should perhaps have added here that the larger database belongs to the 4.0.29.10 era, and the smaller one is contemporary.
-
Yes, I understand, but it my be affected by what each of us understands by "synced."
-
I am not sure about how to handle this, but if it is of any help, too the best of my knowledge, I have not changed anything since I became interested in Zotero.
-
I am not too clear about what you mean by "synced". If you mean, is it the sort of database that one finds at the end of an academic article where the authors, the title of their works are listed, and the date of publication are listed, then "yes,"…

Adam Smith: I think that I may have lost as many as 250 entries. Fortunately, I have an older copy on a different computer. But that is little comfort at the moment. By way of a simple question: why isn't the program separated form the data, or …
-
Yes, and that did not work, and then I tried importing. And that too did not work.

How does one go about rebuilding a database from a "zotero.sqlite" file? In advance, thank you for whatever help you might give.
-
I mean that I am being told by my computer that "zotero.sqlite" is not in the accepted format. But how can that be since I have toyed with that file?
-
I mean "zotero.sqlite." Sorry.
-
I am being told that the selected file, which I take to mean, "zotero.sqlite," is not in a supported format. But it must be. I have not toyed with that file.
-
Thanks.
-
By the way, I have not tried restarting Zotero for fear that that would consolidate something that might be remedied.
-
I am not too sure that I understand your last question. What do you mean by "Zotero preference -- Advanced -- files and Folders. If I understand correctly, I suspect that you mean is the "sqlite" file from before the deletion. The answer is "yes"…

11,360 bytes and I have, or had, if I recall well, a little over 1120 entries in the database/

Thanks. I was trying to move thirty items at once, which seems to be not possible in the latest version of Zotero. But wasn't it possible to do this in earlier version of Zotero? I seem to recall that it was. Again, thanks.

Is it possible to created a backup copy of just the bibliographical data that one has collected over the years?

Many thanks. I did not realise that the database was OS independent. This will greatly facilitate things.
-
If I understand this correctly, all you need do while in Zotero is call up the PDF file that is of interest to you, and whose data you have entered into Zotero, treat the file as if you were reading it from within your PDF reader, and make the comme…

Concerning documentation in general: Is there a way of downloading all of the documentation so as to have it on hand when needed? Or are there just too many changes made to the programme to make that feasible?
-
Thanks for the prompt answer. The precision with which you answer all queries is much appreciated.
-
If I might make a suggestion. Download whatever version of Zotero you wish, or download both versions. I would start with the standalone version, and later add the Google version. Work with the standalone version until you get used to the way dat…
-
Yes, I have both the Standalone version and the Firefox version installed, and they are definitely both pointing to the same database. I know that my problem is of recent origin, and I cannot think of anything that I have done to upset the arrangem…
-
It comes up blank, as you say, but it will show a new entry if I add one. But I usually delete that new entry for fear that it may damage my much larger database on the computer. I'll experiment with my Firefox extensions. The only new extension …
-
That is strange. My Zotero for Firefox has been deleted without my permission twice this week. Fortunately, it is only the programme that gets deleted and not the database. It must be something other than AdBlock Plus Firefox that is causing the …

If I may ask a question on a related matter...? Assuming that a reference to a particular work is made in a number of chapters prior to the splitting of a manuscript into chapters, and that the short form is used after the initial long form, does o…
