Thanks again, dstillman. I generally don't modify citations, but when you've spent 8 years on a book it does end up happening sometimes, and I know I have to reckon with it at 'refresh' moments. The bigger issue is why, when I refresh, some citation…

Thanks dstillman, but it isn't; I checked. And the first-citation problem hasn't updated even though it later started to cycle through all of my footnotes checking individual modifications with me.
-
For reference - it has now done a refresh and the problem is still there.
-
I am curious to know if you've managed to get far enough down the longlist to address this issue. I seem to be having it still. THanks.
-
That did it! It causes other problems which I'm not dealing with on a Friday afternoon, but they are smaller. Thank you.
-
Many thanks, both. I've given up on this particular data but I've now backed up my zotero files to my external hard drive, having read through the sites you linked to. So some good came out of it.
-
I know - it's very random. I'll keep thinking about what could have happened. If I remembered every missing word it would help, but then I wouldn't have needed to take notes! Thanks for trying. What does it mean for them not to be written to the da…
-
I don't see how, if I was offline the whole time, the first 2 hours' worth of notes were written to the database and the second 3 hours' worth of notes weren't. I didn't sync until a few hours after I had written the whole thing. I briefly wondered …
-
If there is one, I wasn't close to it. I've taken pages and pages worth of notes in the notes field in the past, far more than this.
-
Yeah, I had seen that, but I was convinced that it synced on line automatically and would have done so over the past year. I've got that part done now and am confident for the desktop tomorrow. Thanks.
-
OK, good to know anyway. And poirmw, I already characterize them as book sections. Thanks to you both.
-
OK, in any case the version of Chicago I have been using does capitalize. Until I put in the language codes, it capitalized all my Italian and French titles wrongly. This leads me to a new problem. I am going back over all the (few-hundred) wrongly …
-
oh right. sorry. done.
-
Chicago Manual of Style, full note. Mail not here yet.
-
No, it's not ok after the word crash. Looking forward to your msg.
-
OK, and also, the first book I mentioned (the one I cite a lot), every time I cite it the whole title appears; zotero doesn't recognize that it's not a first citation in the document.
-
No, I'm wrong, some titles capitalize, some don't, all in the same foreign language with the same code.
-
OK, more weirdness. It only does it with one entry (a book I cite a lot, as it happens). I tried deleting and recreating the entry, and I've tried citing it in a new document. Thoughts? The language code is definitely in there.
-
Hello, it's not working again. I made sure the right language code was in the library entry, and I have tried editing the footnote, deleting and reinserting it, and hitting refresh. It still capitalized automatically. Then I tried switching styl…
-
:)
-
Actually, hang on, it kind of seems to be working now. Sorry to panic - book is due very soon and the footnotes are just about the last thing.
-
Let me add that pretty much all my footnotes are going to be hand-edited, many extensively.
-
Uh-oh. Here I am, shouting. I went through my zotero library about an hour ago and put in a code for all the Italian books. But now hen I insert them as in-text citations, they all STILL capitalize. This is exactly the reason I left EndNote fo…
-
Thanks. I've hand-edited almost all the footnotes so far (I've done maybe 150 out of maybe 600), so I will just try to get it right the first time!
-
OK, thanks. That's faster than the footnotes. I hope you're right! Sometimes when I hit refresh after I've changed something in my library, nothing happens. I have to edit the note and then the updates appear. Where do I see the codes? Or can y…
-
(or do I have to start from scratch and redo each footnote?)
-
Thanks for posting this; it's exactly the problem I logged on to find out about. If I go back and do one of these options now, in the middle of redoing all my book citations, will all the foreign language titles automatically re-capitalize the…
-
Thanks!

I'm not a computer geek, just an academic, so ProjGeekette's comment has me a little concerned: if I re-install Zotero will I lose all my data? Alternatively, do your updates mean can I go ahead and download Firefox 6 as I was just urgently prompted…
