It is not there. I think I deleted this, thinking it was the zotero for firefox extension - when I was trying to reinstall firefox and z for firefox. [I'm confused as to why this would be stored under appdata if it is the standalone files] So I can…
-
Unless you have an easy suggestion for how to solve this, I would like to uninstall everything that could be causing a problem and install again as I seem to be missing parts of my profile which are necessary for operating either z for firefox or st…
-
The same things is happening with zotero standalone. Every time I point to the storage location, I have to restart, and then it is asking me to choose a zotero profile, but then doesn't remember anything I still can't access my files.
-
When I try to reinstall zotero for firefox, it works fine, brings up the icon etc. When I point to my zotero directory ( which is on my c drive separately), I have to restart firefox. When I restart, it prompts me to choose a firefox profile (doesn'…

Thanks both. That's a shame - but thanks for the tip re CSV export - not quite what I'm after but useful to know.
-
This could be really useful. But is there a way of copying only the tags I have added myself to the clipboard, and leaving out the many automatic tags?
-
Whatever you did, it's working now thank you!
-
Thanks for that. I don't think it was that simple though. I have access to the network drive (albeit the latest version which is not syncing to the network) when I am away from the network. And I did try repointing to the correct drive when I got ba…
-
I was trying to access from the same computer but off the network, and I think that is what caused the problem. I have sorted a fix for myself by copying a previous version of the zotero directory (before the problems started) onto my newly accessi…
-
Thanks for helping. Obviously, there was something strange going on but I have resolved for my purposes by manually reentering references. And will know to close down everything before copying directories next time.
-
OK I have now managed to get zotero standalone and zotero firefox to point to the 1-week-backup version, so this is progress. I have also exported a few references which were created into the "old" directory (see above) which I can import. However…
-
When you say import into the "recovered database", do you mean starting afresh by removing zotero and reinstalling?? Or can I just use the 1-week-back up version and import extra references into this? Presumably in order to export, I would need to …
-
Backups done. I also have a backup from a week ago to which I could revert and which presumably would not have corrupted files. (I don't use the sync function because it doesn't work with my institutional network settings.) If I revert to the 1-wee…
-
And yes, I think that moving whilst not fully closed down may have been the problem. Is there anything I can do to untangle the mess?
-
PPS Autosync has been off all the time.
-
PS Have tried to change it multiple times in firefox, but reverts every time.
-
OK. When I change the directory in zotero for firefox, it changes, tells me I have to restart for changes to take effect, but when I go back in, the location has reverted to the old storage location. Since I changed the firefox version, I am also s…
-
I have pointed to the new directory in both standalone and firefox now, but this has resulted in only being able to see the references I have just added (and which are saved in the OLD LOCATION !!! I think this must have something to do with a file…
-
Just seen your message ....Yes I am using both standalone and firefox so will do as you suggest ...
-
When I copied the files from the original location, I got the message, Item not found This is no longer located in C:[details of directory]. Verify the item's location and try again. zotero.sqlite-journal options to try again, but comes up repeatedl…
-
You're right - they aren't recent additions to the library.
-
Some of these certainly would have had PDFs ...
-
But I've never imported via RIS ...! I have always saved directly from zotero for firefox into my library. Nothing is saved like this originally .... am I missing something?

Thanks for all your help with this. There is obviously some quirk to the university systems. I have decided to get over the sync issues by not using the sync function. I can also get the translators when I install firefox direct from the web rather …
-
Well I'm going to try an alternative way avoiding syncing because the translators work fine on initial installation of firefox / zotero before the syncing starts. I can't check the translators directory because I have now deleted all the old zotero…
-
The thing is that my colleague isn't getting these problems. But actually he is not using the sync feature so this may be the answer. Looks like I won't be resubscribing, and will be back to coping libraries between computers. I will need to delete…
-
Zotero is finally accepting my username and password on the portable version. But I am now getting the same error messages as on standalone - i.e. xxx file can not be updated, check the file is not in use, you have the correct permissions to allow w…
-
The issue is that I can't get any translators on my university computer. My IT dept think it may be something to do with the set up of firefox, but they are not able to support with zotero issues. I have tried to find other work arounds, e.g. usin…

standalone keeps trying to resync which is also slowing everything down
