Ok, after DB tool use, the database integrity report says 'no errors'. AND the file synching seems to work as well, but I'll test it a few times. And I'm going to use Firefox in XP/Parallels, and Safari in OS, to avoid even the chance of having…

Dan, I need your help in figuring out how to fix my setup issue. What would solve the dangerous setup issue, apart from not using Zotero in OS and XP simultaneously? For instance, would you recommend saving the Zotero file somewhere like my des…

Errors were found in the Zotero database! You can use the database repair tool at http://zotero.org/utils/dbfix to attempt to correct these errors Dan, if you want me to use the DB tool, which I already did once a few days ago: 1. Do I d…

Now I am periodically getting messages that my database is corrupted and I should restart Firefox. I do this, and the database seems fine. I'll try to add debug ID but I'm afraid to keep making this happen in case it really does destroy my library.

In case it makes a difference, the PDFs I can open are on my computer, not on the web.
-
Another point: I can open PDFs from my Zotero library. Does this mean that my profile setup is pointing properly to those PDFs? Which means that my inability to synch files is another problem?

Report ID: 932687023 Report ID: 1810616663 To reproduce the error I just press the green arrow and I have checked in my preferences "Sync attachment files using Zotero library". If I uncheck that, I don't get an error message. I use Mac …

I'm on European time, I guess that is one reason for the slow response on Zotero's end? Last point: the nonstop turning arrow turned out to be an error and it told me to quit Firefox.
-
I tried re-installing Firefox in Windows and using Zotero from that. Now the green arrow doesn't stop turning.
-
Doing some experimentation, I discover that if I uncheck in Zotero preferences the two items related to synching files (as opposed to data), there is no synch error. So this is something about where my pdfs are stored?
-
Here is a possibly related problem: I don't seem to be able to open Firefox at all under Parallels. No idea why.
-
Actually now I think this is a synching problem, because it happens within 2 seconds of opening the Zotero pane. I have quit Firefox, restarted computer, and am now not sure what to do.

Let me add that yesterday I got a message that my library was corrupted, I used the DB tool, and put the 'new' sqlite file that was repaired from the sqlite.damaged file into my Zotero folder, and deleted the old one. But the new sqlite file di…

Ok, I think I did the right thing, or at least it seems to work: I found the Zotero folder in the profile of my Parallels/Firefox browser (not at all easy to find!), and moved it to the profile of my Mac/Firefox browser (which has a completely diffe…
