Thank you, bwiernik. I just want to be sure: are you saying that I literally cannot destroy or wipe out my library by accident somehow when I do this? (That would certainly make me feel better.)
-
Commenting on my own comment: I see the page says Zotero started about 10 years ago, so I clearly misremember how long I have used it. But it was very new when a tech at our university showed it to me and I thought sure it was before 2004. Shows you…

This information is REALLY reassuring!! Thank you for taking the time to clarify the situation to me. I fear I "run scared" because of past problems when I updated Firefox and (I think) Zotero itself -- back when Zotero was pretty new -- and had tro…
-
Oh man. Well, I guess all good things come to an end. I hate hearing this, adam, but it's better to find out about it now than later. I just hope when "transition time" comes there will be lots of instructional support for those of us who have to fi…

Canozp: Thank you for this information AND the link! This forum has been way more helpful, even with just the Mac OS issue, than the Mac forum has been. In fact, this forum is yet another reason Zotero is the most important part of my computer life.…
-
I have to admit that while I'm not certain what that phrase means -- "unless Zotero has moved away from the XUL/Firefox codebase by mid-2017"-- I would be personally distressed if Zotero ever stopped having a version that's integrated with Firefox. …
-
Holy cow! That's VERY important information I didn't have. Thank you for the link, in particular! (I even posted about this on the Apple forum and no one mentioned the drop of Firefox support for all the way through 10.8.). MANY thanks for thinking …
-
Thank you so much for this information! I really appreciate it.
-
Thanks. This is helpful.
-
All right. This is making sense to me now -- which says something about the patience you all show in explaining things. I will go do that. I hope if I come back afterwards to get a little more help setting up, if I need it, that you folks won't give…
-
Ah. I am getting there. When you say this: "So, you will use Zotero in Firefox to access your personal account and you will use Zotero Standalone to access your organization's account" -- how do I do that? I have always come in through my Firefox br…
-
Oh. My. Goodness!! Your computer karma must rock. After I read this, I went to the Firefox toolbar and simply hit "Zotero" under the "Tools" menu. And my panes reappeared! :-D OK, I am just going to chalk this up to the magic of your karma and…
-
Whew. You allow me to breathe again. :-) OK. What I did so far is this: I logged out of my personal account. I went to the Zotero home page. I opened a new account (as if I had never been to Zotero in my life) under indigenous_research. I used …
-
Also, how do I set the new account (indigenous_research) so it is Standalone? I did not see that option, though I looked.
-
Uh-oh. I was going to create the new Firefox profile AFTER I set up the new account. Wrong order, huh. Do I need to uninstall Firefox before I re-download it? And if I do that, will it automatically go to ... which Zotero? Do I need to create t…
-
I meant "lower-right corner" of the browser window, above. Sorry.
-
Well, I had found that article you referenced. Before I set up the new account, when I used the new Z icon in the toolbar, it opened both my account online and also the panes in my browser window. Now the panes in my browser window are not there. I …
-
Alas, when I set up the new account, the library panes that normally appear in my browser (that show my library on my computer) vanished. I can't seem to get them back. When I click on the "Z" icon in the browser toolbar, it just takes me to the onl…
-
Thank you! This helps very much!!
-
Thank you for this clear information! I do have one more question: I use the Firefox browser, but I think setting up the new account as a stand-alone would probably make it more accessible to everyone in the group. Can I set up an account to be stan…
-
Blow me down! You guys are brilliant! Thank you!
-
Aha! I do use Firefox and there is a theme. I will try disabling the theme (darn it). Stand by...
-
That's perfect! Thank you! As a side-note, I was certain there was an instruction somewhere in support that looked like this, but I could not find it. Is there a way to search the support pages so I can find those little instructions without bu…

Error Report ID: 1025992180 I think everything synched all right, but there was an error message. It said to report the number in the forums and explain the condition that generated it. The only thing I know to say about the condition is that I…
-
Thank you so much! I especially appreciate how quickly you responded. :-)
-
I should add, I don't intend to destroy the files online in the library. I just want to use them as a source to essentially "restore" them to my new computer.
-
Thank you so much! It's always good to know the errors are on the "safe side" -- I can live with that! :-)
-
Well, you're right about needing the .doc extension. When I add that, the file works. But now I'm having the same problem I had before, of it not picking up the edits when I make them. :-( I think I'll just have to store the file backups ano…
-
I feel terrible about this. But today I went back to the file with which I was originally having trouble. When I tried to open the copy I had stored in my sync files here online, I got this message: Last login: Sun Jun 24 13:22:40 on ttys000 …

Thank you!!!! :-)
