Once it has been verified that the exported contains data, the Firefox preferences can be reset to open the file with the EndNote application. Under the Actions column look for a setting that says open with EndNote and change to 'Save File.' The file can then be saved and opened in TextEdit or Word. If you are using Firefox, click on Firefox > Preferences > Applications.

Try to capture the reference into a text file to make sure it contains data.

After the Customizer has completed, try exporting to EndNote again. When the Customizer window appears, add a check next to 'Additional Import Filters' and click 'Next' twice.

In EndNote, click the EndNote drop down menu in the top left hand corner of the screen and choose 'Customizer'. Check to see if the correct filter is missing from the 'Filters' folder.If you are prompted to select an import filter:

I clicked YES to link to Spotlight.When exporting references from an online database into EndNote, the proper filter should be identified automatically. As a package my logic was to have one file (package) that kept all the reference entries in one place together, else it creates a separate file reference for each and every reference in your library, and this invites the chance for some of them to go feral in your directory (easy to accidently shift or lose lots of little reference entries from the library if you have 100s like me). PS good idea to choose 'package' when creating a new X2 library and save to its own folder in Documents Folder so easy to find again.

I then restarted the Mac to assure all new settings are aligned (though that may not be required). I then deleted off that list the old library with the *.enl suffix. This should make the 'add library' button come alive, and then just click add libraries.

This worked fine for me, once imported to the fresh new library, go back into endnotes prefs/library, and select the pull down that asks for the specified libraries to show in the window list below it. The new fresh ones end with the suffix, presumably because I saved it as a package. The old libraries end in the suffix either or. But it turns out, I think, that you need to create a fresh new Endnotes X2 library first (in EndnotesX2 prefs Library) and then, while in Endnotes, 'import' from any old endnotes libraries you can find. I found initially that like you, Pages did not 'see' any endnotes libraries I had, even though MS-Word2008 did see the old library file.
