What exactly do you mean when you say syncing isn't working? See Reporting Problems for the two things we always need in order to help. In general, see Changes Not Syncing or Files Not Syncing, depending on whether you're referring to data or files.
-
See Zotero Toolbar Doesn't Appear and the platform-specific steps linked from there, and if you're still having trouble, let us know exactly what you tried and what happened at each step.

Restart your browser and try again. When prompted, make sure you choose the Google account that has access to the document. Your Zotero account is irrelevant.
-
I suspect it's just not necessary with current versions of ChromeOS, but hopefully someone else can confirm that.

No, that's just a collection in your trash. If you're still running Zotero 6, it will be hidden instead of showing up in the trash. You should upgrade to Zotero 7 via Help → Check for Updates. If you're still having trouble after that, we can debug…

On APA PsycNet, I'm able to export to RIS (which is all the "Zotero" option is) without trouble. If that's not working for you, you'd have to ask them. It's certainly possible they have some rate limits on exports. (Also, there's some confusion her…

You can now just try in 7.0.22.
-
Out of curiosity, did you have to forward any ports (Step 4 on that page), or did it just work after installing the app? I'm not sure if that last step is still required.
-
(Just to clarify, the "best practice" would be using Zotero Storage. While someone from the community might be willing to walk you through debugging problems with linked files, that's an advanced configuration, and we specifically aren't able to tro…

Well, it depends exactly how you downloaded the PDFs, and also on what you've done to the items. You could delete just the attachments (we can tell you how to do that easily) and then re-add the files, either by trying to use right-click → Find Ful…

This should be fixed in the latest beta.
-
@saucke: If you've installed Zotero from the download page and it's still not working, it's not the same issue and you should start a new thread. If this is an institutional computer and you're running Cisco security software, that's a different iss…

You'll need to follow these steps through to the end: https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/connector_zotero_unavailable

is there a way to prevent Zotero from adding items to both parent and sub-collection when using browser extensions to grab the items? It doesn't. It only adds them to the selected collection.

You're likely syncing with a different account. You can check the account you're syncing from from the Sync pane of the Zotero settings. If you can't figure it out, provide a Debug ID for reproducing this. Note that the account you're posting from …
-
The yellow window is just a harmless glitch that we've never been able to reproduce but that happens for some people. It doesn't happen in the Zotero beta and will be fixed in the next major version of Zotero. Beyond that, you'll need to say what t…

You can right-click → Show File and swap in the new PDF, but any changes to the document would likely cause some or all of the annotations to be in the wrong positions. So it would only really be an option for extremely minor changes between version…
-
I'm afraid you'd have to start over at this point, yes. The files are too much of a mess. I'm still not clear how you added files, though? Exporting RIS from databases wouldn't give you PDFs. I wanted to look at duplicates and the duplicate categor…

We always need an example URL for problems with saving.

(3)(+0000001): Custom handler is /Applications/Zotero.app Did you manually set the Zotero app in Applications as the handler for PDFs in the General pane of the Zotero settings? That would cause it to try to import the PDF as a metadata file (e.g.,…

Duplicate detection isn't available in the web library. https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/web_vs_desktop

Don't use export to migrate from Mendeley. Zotero has a built-in Mendeley importer. You should delete what you have and use that instead. https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/mendeley_import

@bengeog: You're using the web library, not the desktop app. Duplicate detection isn't available in the web library. https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/web_vs_desktop

What "troubleshooting notification", exactly?
-
As noted in that thread, this is fixed in the Zotero beta. The fix will be included in 7.0.22 soon.
-
How did you import all these files? I'm afraid your library is all messed up — you have duplicates of most of these files from two separate imports earlier this month, and many (all?) attachment items are associated with the wrong files.
-
We always need an example URL for problems with saving. Your error report contains two unrelated errors.

(It's a documentation page, not a "thread". If you say "thread", people will think you're referring to some thread in these forums.) You'll need to explain what the actual problem is and what part of Files Not Syncing you're following. But note tha…
