Mac Deployment of Connection Files.

Recently, I have run across some problems for people using Macs with Endnote. Unfortunately, I do not have a Mac with Endnote to play with, but I have managed to find some information. The next few posts will give some solutions (hopefully) to some of these issues.

Firstly, Endnote does not by default deploy all its connection, style and filter files. This means that, for example, the connection to Durham U is not available in default deployment of Endnote.

The method to deploy all the files is below. For PCs there is an earlier post on this blog describing how to deploy all the files.

EndNote X3 and later have the ability to modify the installation to include additional content files. While this article focuses on Connection Files, it is of note that similar steps can be used to add Styles and Filters as well. 

On Mac OS: 

1.      Start EndNote to go to the "EndNote" menu and choose "Customizer."
2.     To install ALL Connection Files, place a check next to "Connections." Alternately, you can expand the Connections drop down and check only the Information Provider of interest to you.
3.      Click Next twice until the changes are complete. Click Done to close the window.
