Ditto on google docs and safari

The option in the Zotero preferences (under Cite->Styles) whether or not to include URLs of paper articles in references does not work for me (Zotero 5.0.33). It was not checked, but the URL's are still included in the biblio. Any ideas?
-
I'd like to second that idea (of automatically retrieving metadata on import), and raise it a "rename file using metadata" at the same time. In other words: I import a pdf, zotero indexes it, scans for possible metadata, and renames the file (if met…

OK, great. I really appreciate everyone's input, suggestions, and help for my peculiar issues.

I was finally able to get Firefox to work on my system, but I had to install the latest 29.0 beta version. Quitting and restarting Firefox works now, and Zotero works perfectly within it (including allowing me to add styles, etc.). My standalon…
-
When I try to add a style now, I still get the: "An unexpected error occurred while installing "(null)" " message and this error in the error report: [JavaScript Error: "Could not open system library: no libc" {file: "resource://gre/modu…

I was able to get Firefox to work by manually creating a new Firefox user profile (using a small program called via the command line, as suggested to me by someone on the Firefox support forums). I was then able to install Zotero, setting it to use…

OK, I can add by identifier. Here are the contents of my styles folder (after doing a reset): american-anthropological-association.csl apa.csl cell.csl chicago-author-date.csl chicago-fullnote-bibliography.csl chicago-note-biblio…
-
Check for updates works, yes. I'm not sure what "add item by identifier" means. And I'm not sure what "check and list the contents of the styles folder" means. In Preferences? I can see the list of the (default I assume) styles. What …
-
Unfortunately I can't try this. The reason I have been using the standalone is that Firefox does not work on my system. It does not respond to any inputs in the url bar. So it is completely unusable. I have posted several messages about this to the …

removing the titles from the pasted RTF-scan citations does not work (same error about not being able to open the file, and also it doesn't find any citations to begin with)
-
Also, in MS Word, when I try "Zotero set doc prefs" to change the style in the document, all the styles that I dragged over into my styles folder (except for RTF-scan.csl) do not work. I get the following error: The style you have selected does…
-
Well, unfortunately, RTF-scan doesn't recognize the references in an RTF document, so this doesn't work either. I have RTF-scan as the style selected in preferences, and when I drag and drop them into my rtf document they look like this: {Jer…
-
Yes, thanks. I'm concerned also, but don't really know where to go from here. Any suggestions of things to try would be appreciated.
-
Manually moving them to my styles folder worked! At least, they show up in the preferences, with a green check-mark next to it.
-
I tried reinstalling Java 7, and no change.
-
OK, I hit the reset styles button, it warned me about new or custom styles, then I said OK. However I still get the error: [JavaScript Error: "invalid 'instanceof' operand Zotero.Exception" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/style.js" line: …
-
4.0.19 still gives me the same error when I try to sync with "Sync attachment files in My Library..." selected in the preferences... I haven't actually tried to see if the sync actually works. I assume not, because the sync icon only spins for …
-
I should clarify that the odd: "Could not open system library: no libc" does NOT occur when I try to install a .csl file, it only occurs when I try to sync with "sync attachment files in My Library using..."
-
Yes, I'm using 4.0.19 The report ID is: 128765425 The error is: [JavaScript Error: "invalid 'instanceof' operand Zotero.Exception" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/style.js" line: 366}] I notice that it says chrome, even thoug…

When I "view source" at the Zotero Style Repository for the styles I tried (the rtf one and the american-journal-of-physical-anthropology.csl) , they seem to be the same as what I get when opening the .csl files that were downloaded to my computer (…
-
Sorry, forgot to answer your first question: I'm installing them by going to Zotero's Preferences>Cite>Styles, clicking the "+" button, scrolling down manually to the file (because the search box doesn't work, as I mentioned in my previous p…
-
Well, how would I know? Safari indicated that it was done downloading. But it is only 2,814 bytes. Is that what it should be? I tried with another style: american-journal-of-physical-anthropology.csl, and got the same error. This one is only …
-
Not using firefox. I'm using the standalone
-
OK, thanks. When I try to install the rtf-scan.csl, however, I get: Install style "RTF Scan" from rtf-scan.csl? But when press the "install" button, I get the following error: An unexpected error occurred while installing …
-
I don't understand. I can see how to copy a formatted citation into a document, and I can see how to copy a formatted bibliography into a document. How do I copy a code that zotero rtf understands is a reference? The Tools>RTF scan... option say…
-
Ok, I'll just wait on it then.
-
After reinstalling Zotero (which just involves dragging and dropping into Applications?), and opening it up, the sync icon started spinning, but then Zotero hung for quite a while. Finally, I got an error icon, and it reported: Conflicts have …

Understood! :)

Let's see... I am using 10.9.2 Disabled virus checking (not happy about that) Stopped using filevault (disk encryption that is an option in OS X) I'll try reinstalling Zotero standalone...
