Reading: “no cloze 1 found on card” and no images

Thanks for the extra detail—that’s really helpful.

If Browse is crashing Anki, that strongly suggests a deeper Anki/add‑on issue on top of the deck/import problem. Let’s focus on getting Anki stable first, then fix the deck.

1. Start Anki in “add‑ons disabled” mode

This is the official Anki troubleshooting step:

  1. Close Anki completely.
  2. Re‑open Anki while holding down the Shift key.
    • Keep holding Shift until the main window fully opens.
    • This temporarily disables all add‑ons (including AnkiHub/AnKing helpers, etc.).

Now try:

  • Click Browse.
  • Select the AnKing MCAT deck on the left (if it opens successfully).

Tell me what happens:

  • Does Anki still crash when you click Browse?
  • Or does it open, but the notes are empty?

If it still crashes even with add‑ons disabled, we’re in pure‑Anki territory and you’ll likely need to follow Anki’s full troubleshooting steps and maybe post on the official Anki support forum. Let me know, and I’ll point you to the exact page.

2. If Browse works with add‑ons disabled

If you can open Browse now:

  1. Select your AnKing MCAT deck in the left sidebar.
  2. Click on a few notes.
  3. Look at the Fields panel on the right:
    • Are the text fields truly empty (no text, no <img src=...>)?
    • Or is there actual content, but the cards still show “no cloze 1 found on card”?

Please also:

  1. With one of these notes selected, click the Cards… button.
  2. Take a screenshot that shows:
    • The Note Type name at the top.
    • The Front Template area.

You can upload those screenshots right in this thread.

3. If everything is empty and/or still crashes

If:

  • All fields are empty, or
  • Anki still crashes when opening Browse even with add‑ons disabled,

then the safest route is:

  1. Back up everything

    • File → Export → Anki Collection Package (*.colpkg)
    • Save it somewhere safe.

  2. Delete only the AnKing MCAT deck (from the main window, right‑click the deck → Delete).

    • Confirm you’re only deleting that deck and its cards, not your whole collection.

  3. Restart Anki.

  4. Re‑download the AnKing MCAT file from the original source (AnKing’s official instructions / purchase link).

    • Make sure the download completes fully (no browser interruptions).

  5. Import the fresh .apkg

    • File → Import → select the new .apkg
    • When asked about note type or deck mapping, accept the defaults.
    • Do not map to any existing custom/AnKing note types; let the deck create its own.

  6. Before enabling any add‑ons again, test:

    • Can you Browse?
    • Do the fields have content now?

4. AnkiHub / AnKing‑specific step (after it works)

Only once:

  • The deck imports correctly,
  • Browse works without crashing, and
  • The cards show real content,

then:

  • Enable your add‑ons again (restart Anki normally).
  • If you want to connect the deck to AnkiHub, follow these instructions:
    → AnkiHub Addon Menu

What I need from you next

Please reply with:

  1. What happens when you open Anki with Shift held down and click Browse?
  2. If it opens:
    • A screenshot of the Browse window for an MCAT card (showing note type + fields).
    • A screenshot of the Cards… window for that note type.
  3. Which Anki version you’re using (in Anki: Help → About).

With that info, I can tell whether we’re dealing with:

  • A broken import / empty deck file,
  • A note‑type mismatch,
  • Or a more serious Anki installation issue.
