Import 1: When trying to export citations from a website in my web browser I always get a "File not found" error and the records do not appear in my Reference Manager database. How can I fix this?

Answer: If you get a "File not Found" error when you try to direct export, your cache of temporary internet files is probably full and needs to be cleared.
  1. Open Internet Explorer and go to Tools / Internet Options.
  2. Under Temporary Internet Files click on the Delete Files button. When it finishes deleting the files click OK.
  3. Try the export again and you should have better results.

If you have a lot of Temporary Internet Files, deleting them may take quite a while. But once this is done you should no longer experience this error when you try to direct export.

This can also happen with Netscape / Mozilla. To clear temporary internet files in Netscape / Mozilla, click on Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Cache. There will be options for clearing the disk cache and the memory cache.
