It was the fact that I had to set up the Zotero preferences again on the laptop, and I ran into a problem doing that. Unfortunately it was a while ago and I have forgotten the actual sequence of operations and responses which lead me to believe that…

I have been a bit loose with my terminology. When I stated that Zotero has refused to allow me to log on with the original id and password, this was not stricly accurate. I tried to register as a user (using the original id and password) on the lapt…

Have now tried again, and again got the 'Invalid response from server' message. Report ID: 359948709

I have just had the same message, so it looks as though there is a more general problem at present.

Report ID:796882445 I have disabled the other extensions, and attempted a sync exercise as before. This time I got a failure with the message 'Empty response from server. Please try again in a few minutes'. The report ID is given at the top of thi…

I have been trying again to synchronize my desktop computer database with my database on the Zotero server. This time the synchronization proceeded for a couple of hours, but finally crashed wtih an error message saying 'Invalid Session ID. The erro…

Report ID: 1467252075 Following on from the situation detailed in the previous post, when I returned to the desktop computer this morning, the sync symbol was still going round, more than 18 hours after I started the synchronization process! I event…

Dan: Thanks for the information. I have disabled auto-sync on the laptop, but am still getting 'Invalid response from server' messages, so I will just have to wait until next week, then try again.

Guepe, I don't think that server failure is the cause of the problem I have with synchronization with my laptop Zotero installation. I say this because I could add new items to that database successfully from the desktop computer both immediately be…

adamsmith's situation sounds just like my own one. Up to now I have been unable to sync at all, because I get messages saying that my database is too large for the system to cope with. Following you suggestion, I just checked the size of the Storage…

I have been trying to sync at various dates since I last posted to this forum, but always got a message that the database was too large. Today, I tried twice. The first time the error message was that the link to the server had timed out, and the se…

I have now installed Zotero 2.0b6.4, and tried another synchronization. It again failed (Report ID : 1544895612). Hovering the mouse cursor above the synchronization icon with the yellow triangle gave the message that 'Error processing uploaded data…

On loading Zotero this morning, I discovered that apparently a sync was still in progress from yesterday. That sync continued to run for a couple of hours, but has now encountered an error (Report ID: 977043876), again the message referring to probl…

I have now used SQLite to remove all notes which include large rtf strings from the database, and successfully cleared the trash out. I then attempted a synchronization with the Zotero server, but got an error message (Report ID: 28548903), suggesti…

I have now located all the large RTF Note files, and have deleted each of them by right-clicking on the Note symbol and selecting 'Delete this item....'. Once that was complete, I went to the Trash folder, right-clicked that and selected 'Empty Tras…

I have done what you suggested - clicking the HTML button and looking at the source code. As you surmised, there is an tag linking to a .png file in the temp directory. I will now start locating all the large RTF notes and following your suggestion…

As an experiment, I have just tried to replicate my actions to copy an image to a note. I am using 2.0b6.2, and I had not tried to do this before. I took a figure from a pdf file for a paper I have in my database (Ackert et al), opened it using Adob…

1) Is there a reason you've created a number of these? As far as I know, there's no way these would appear correctly as pictures within Zotero notes, at least after a reload—though you seem to suggest that they appeared as graphics immediately after…

I have tried twice to upload the database to the DB Repair Tool, and that has failed both times. The error message which appears is: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 314572800 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 289267336 bytes) in /usr/share/pear…

I have looked through a number of notes (there are far too many to scrutinise manually), but the largest text note I have found to date has 15,649 characters, including spaces. However, i have come across some notes which are huge - the largest i ha…

I have upgraded my desktop computer to 2.0b6.2 and tried a new sync. This again failed, so I have sent in the error report (Report ID: 242358952). I am unable to tell you what the error is that is reported by making the cursor hover over the sync ic…

I am running Firefox 3.0.11. I did try using 3.5 about a week ago, but encountered the same problem. Maybe there has been a build since then, so I will go back and try the procedure again. Thanks, Al

I agree with you on that point. My original reason for experimenting with Zotero 2.0 was that I wanted to be able to give groups of my students access to those subsets of my reference library appropriate to their particular courses of study, without…

Dan, i have now tried it out in Firefox 3.5 Beta 4. I again got error messages, only this time associated with particular web pages which I have as default tabs on startup. I removed those pages from the startup pages, restarted Firefox, and ob…

I have now disabled all the extensions apart from Zotero on my laptop, and have attempted a sync with the Zotero server. It has again produced an error (Report ID: 1530206960) which I have submitted to you. Interestingly the phrase "script stack spa…

Dan, I can understand the confusion regarding the location of the original "desktop library". It is on the desktop computer which I work with at Aberdeen University in Scotland. This computer has only 512k RAM, but it is the one which I use muc…

I have uninstalled ZipGenius from my desktop computer and tried again to sync with the Zotero server, but without success. The error message generated (ID=740051295) has been sent to you, and appears to implicate JavaScript. Is there a recommende…

The desktop machine presently runs with 512k RAM. For clarification though, the "script stack space quota is exhausted" message appears on my laptop, which has 2GB of RAM - for some reason the desktop does not produce any messages when I mouse…

Following further attempts to sync between my laptop computer and the Zotero server, I have sent in the following report (ID = 1320640702). This error report makes reference to Zipgenius as a source of the problem, if I interpret things correctly. T…

Sorry I forgot to include the Error Report Number in the previous post. It is: 1957317483.
