If you get a red paperclip it means the link to the file is lost. This can happen for many reasons. We keep three references to the file, a relative path, an absolute path, and reference to the file object. When you are using a synchronization like iCloud, the latter is probably broken because iCloud may replace the file. But the paths should still be valid. You must have somehow broken that also, perhaps by moving the .bib file. But in your specific case I don’t have enough information to see why the links break. But you should always make sure that the relative location of the database to the linked file does not change. Christiaan
