I deleted the new files which zotero creates in startup from the last attempt back on Oct. 11, while firefox was closed. Following this, I replaced them with the slightly older files, including the most recent directory. I then closed all open windo…

Hi again, The following was the process: 1. Firefox is set to access folder "zotero". 2. All zotero files were translated to a folder titled "zotero3", some of them renamed. 3. Firefox is opened. 4. Firefox is closed. 5. newly zotero-created file…

So far, it hasn't worked. Now copy your older/larger/hopefully-info-containing 'zotero.sqlite' and 'zotero.sqlite.bak' files into that directory as you would any other file on your system (e.g. what you did in step 4: in windows explorer (or whatev…

I don't know how to elaborate much more--you're probably missing something very simple. That is very probable. I moved all my zotero files into a zotero3 folder. All of the transitioned files are still present in the folder. Following Step I, zot…

I have just repeated the process up to stage 5. Exactly what do I do to overwrite the new file with an older one?

In the Advanced pane of the Zotero prefs, use either the default location or a custom location, restart Firefox, go back to the Advanced pane and click Show Data Directory, close Firefox, copy your old data directory files (zotero.sqlite, 'storage',…

1. Set Zotero to use the directory that you will want it to use. 2. Exit Firefox. 3. Find all zotero.sqlite and zotero.sqlite.bak files on your machine. 4. Move them all into another folder (renaming them if you have more than one of eac…

No, it is not overwriting, it simply begins a new .sqlite file in the directory that it accesses. So, if I have one there already, I would then have another sqlite file in the directory. I don't know how to get it to preference an old one over the n…

It creates a new sqlite file within the zotero directory folder, mentioned above, where the other sqlite files are also stored, and seems to have a preference for the new one, and therefore begins a new zotero library through the new sqlite file. I …

No, it was not 100% readable. It contained a whole lot of unreadable stuff. It just displayed the file, it did not translate it into something one could read. For instance, open the zotero sqlite file, which contains notes, in wordpad, and examine …

Hi Noksagt, I have verified the library using Microsoft WordPad. The funny thing is that I've tried doing that exact operation already, since that's really the only way to do it, I have a second file for custom directory that I labeled zotero2, y…

Just to ensure that all the relevant information is present, I'd like to recap the exact modus: From Local Disk, I select "Documents and Settings", then the primary user [which is the one that it says it uses], then application data, then "Mozilla"…

I have tried translating a database from the default location as the only one to be accessed, restarting Firefox, and rather than access it, it [zotero] just creates a new one [directory] with the quick start guide as the only thing in it. I also tr…

"No translator could be found for the given file."

Hi Tjowens, Thanks for the reply, I'm not exactly sure that the problem is a firefox profile issue, since the retrieval problem was encountered all at about the same time, which, I would think, would mean the same profile, but then again, I cou…
