  • There is nothing in My Library. I did not have them on any other computer. There is now a folder on my desktop labeled, Old Firefox Data, but when I open it, I don't see anything about Zotero. Also, can you not add citations like you used to, ie, i…
  • I just tried this with another FDA website and a non-FDA website. The latter worked, but not the FDA website.
  • To clarify, I'm trying to add the following website to one of my Zotero collections: https://www.fda.gov/downloads/drugs/guidances/ucm425885.pdf When I click on the Save to Zotero button at the top of the website, nothing happens, ie, the referenc…
  • I discovered more about my problem. Now it's just 2 refs that continue to show up in the bibliography even though they do not have superscript refs in the body of the document. I don't know how to get rid of them.
  • I'll try to be clearer. My superscript numbers in the body of my document do not match up with the correct citation in the bibliography, eg, ref #5 in the bibliography is not the correct one for my superscript ref #5 in the body of the document. I m…
  • Me, too. I love Zotero!
  • OMG--I just tried it again, to answer your question--and now I have my collections! I SWEAR I did the same thing several times the other day, with no results. You're magical! Thank you!
  • Yes, I see the Z icon at the top right of the browser, but when I click on it, it doesn't show my collections, as it used to do. How can I get to my collections? Thank you.
  • American Medical Association
  • Okay, I will try it. I did not know what to do with the box or where to find the information about it (I tried searching documentation, to no avail). Thank you.
  • After I had responded to the first person who replied, I realized I was looking at My Library on the wrong screen. When I clicked on it on the correct screen and also checked my preferences, I found I did have automatically sync enabled, but my list…
  • Yes, I did click on "My Library," and when I saw none there, my heart sank. I will definitely set up sync. Thanks so much for the advice and help.
  • No, I do not have access to the old computer or its backups. Unfortunately, I am too ignorant of much about Zotero to have seen this coming or to even know if I had synchronized Zotero with the Zotero server. Thank you for your help, though. I'll st…
  • I did create a separate collection, but when I add a citation to a line in the appendix, Zotero numbers it consecutively with the ones in the main body of the document. I thought that by creating another collection and choosing my citations from it,…
  • Thanks so much. I didn't know how to add the citation in the quick format citation box. I guess I have another problem, though. I am trying to create a bibliography for an appendix to the document I'm working on. I thought if I created a separate …
  • Thank you, Dan! When I clicked on Tools--Zotero, the Zotero panes (window) came up. Then I went to Preferences--General--User Interface--Load Zotero in: and clicked on the button beside "Browser pane" (instead of "Separate tab"), restarted Firefox, …
  • Thank you! The links you provided were very helpful, and we solved the problem.
  • Thank you, Dan. I guess what is confusing to me is that when I have added items automatically rather than manually, sometimes I get "Web Page" as an item type, so I assumed that there must be that option to create manually, as well. Thank you again …
  • No, I'm not.
  • I am using 2.0. Yesterday when I went to my Collections, I did not have the row of icons at the top of the pane, such as the New Collection button, Actions button, New Item button, etc. Today I have them. I have no idea why I did not have them…
  • So, if I just want to be able to access my library collections from another computer, are there instructions for just that?
  • I'm sorry, but I read the documentation, and I don't understand what I am supposed to put in the URL box. The documentation says to "enter the URL provided by the service"--what service?
  • Thanks very much. I finally figured out that you meant the gear icon in the Zotero toolbar when my document is open--at first I thought you meant the gear icon in the Zotero screen. Also, thank you for pointing me to the tutorials.
