After installing EndNote, Mac users often need to configure their system to open downloaded files with EndNote.
After attempting to export records from a database or Google Scholar:
- open Finder > Downloads
- control-click or right click on the exported file you wish to open
- select Get info
- go to Open with... and choose EndNote.
If EndNote does not appear on the list, select Other and search for the EndNote application.
Once EndNote is selected, select Change all.
