Help!
my library has gone. I’m using Endnote X8 on a Macbook Air, with the file lodged on OneDrive. The Endnote crashed and now I’ve got nothing. No Enl, no Data file. Searched evrywhere. And now I find that my Endnote sync has been syncing the wrong library.
Months of work, gone. Can anyone help?
Nightmare! - I’m in the middle of my dissertation.
Thanks in anticipation…

Ok. Now, I’ve found a data file that MIGHT be the correct data file (based upon the number of PDFs in the data file) but the attached enl file doesn’t appear to be showing it’s contents. It’s showing the contents of some other library.
How do I get the enl file to look at this data file?
Anyone, or am I just yelling into the wind with no hope?
Sorry, not to be a pain but I’m not very tech savvy.
Do you mean a .txt file? Is that the text file you mean
Also, there is already an enl in the same name as the data file but it’s not picking up the data file (MyEndnoteLibrary.enl)
Am I okay to delete that?
Ok, it’s worse than I thought. I’ve opened the pdf’s in the data file and it’s not the correct data file. NIGHTMARE. That means ive lost the data file for my library when the endnote crashed. Help!
Recover Library didn’t work.
Ok, now I think I have a plain text version of most of my references on a word document. Is there any way I could simply import them all into Endnote?
Yes. It was a bibliography from Endnote that I converted to plain text in Endnote in Word.
How is that done?
Leanne,
I think I’ve found a document with some of my references in it that are not in plain text.
How do I put them back into a library?
Leanne!
You are an absolute star! That worked! I’ve recovered about 3/4 of my references. A massive bunch of flowers and choccies for you.
Thanks so much,
Jim
