Huge thank you to all of you who have responded to my inept cry for help! It has worked and my library is returned to me!
-
Thank you, I have followed your instructions in choosing under Data Directory Location /Users/penelopecave/Zotero-Old and now have a pop up saying Restart Required under which it instructs that Zotero must be restarted for the change to take effect.…

OK, thank you, what turns up is: zotero.sqlite.bak zotero.sqlite.1.bak zotero.sqlite-journal zotero.sqlite All the above are Zotero then the 1st 2 and the 4th are repeated with Zotero-Old beside them

I fear I am wasting your time, and becoming increasingly frustrated by my own complete ignorance of computer-speak, as I don't understand the instruction: how to temporarily change the data directory setting. I typed mdfind - penelopecave zotero.s…

Thank you, but I'm afraid your 'mdfind' suggestion hasn't worked, it came up with 'no results'. I also went to the Advanced → Files and Folders pane of the preferences, with Default as (/Users/penelopecave/Zotero). Opening the Data Directory, I fin…

Also the sqlite file in the new Zotero (without the 'old'), has a content of 918 KB.

Thank you, I can find no evidence of Firefox on my computer. Because we tried to follow the instructions on the website, we moved what I think is my /Users/penelopecave/Zotero folder and re-named it Zotero-Old This is the folder which has within i…

The 3 sqlite files above are 2.5 MB each! If this is my missing library, how do I open it? Also slightly concerned that the first says modified on 3 April and the 2nd 2 modified on 18 and 19 March respectively. There is a 'storage' folder in the f…

I cannot now find Users/penelopecave/Zotero. Within my Zotero folder, which is all I can locate, are the unreadable zotero sqlite, zotero sqlitejournal, and zotero sqlite.bak I don't know how large these files are as I can't open them.
-
Thank you and I will do that if we can't restore any other way. Meanwhile, here with the list! FOLDERS: crashes, datareporting, gmp, saved-telemetry-pings FILES: AlternateServices.txt, blacklist.xml, cert8.db, compatibility.ini, content-prefs.sqli…

Zotero.sqlite also won't open.

I am very grateful for your assistance. My cmiudghs.default contains 4 folders and 27 files most of which are blank and my computer is unable to open. Not one of the files within folders, or without, apparently has my local library within it. When …

Thank you for your patience. I have not installed Firefox. Yesterday I found /Users//Library/Application Support/Zotero/Profiles/ BUT no 'zotero' subsdirectory - after Profiles is cmiudghs.default folder, which leads to other documents and folders b…

I assume I used Standalone.

Thank you for your help, and apologies for butting in, but now I am within this thread, perhaps I should stay here! I would be glad for additional pointers to find my local library, as it has additional notes etc. although it will need to be spelt o…

This is my first comment, and before making it, I had tried searching through all my other zotero files in the hope it was misplaced, but without success. Then I tried moving my Zotero folder from Application Support folder into Users/penelopecave/…

https://www.zotero.org/support/sync seems only to allow sync FROM personal computer (MAC in my case) to the online one. I want to get my online library back into my computer, which has disappeared since the upgrade I misguidedly agreed to allow. I …
