I went to recover my wallet with my 12 word phrase then it had the circle constantly spinning and would not continue. So I shut everything down and now It says " Connecting to Network" and work actually connect. Is this a common issue ? Does anyone have a fix?

I’m also experiencing the same challenge. Daedalus wallet is stuck and crashes my computer which I’m forced to restart over and over.
Any solution will help as I need to create a paper wallet asap.

I try to air gap all my wallets, so having the Daedalus wallet seemed like a great solution. However, you are correct it is very hit and miss as to whether the wallet will make if past the “Connecting to network” stage and if it doesn’t and just spins you are locked out. Some things to check
- Your clock is acurate
- The Daedalus executable is registered on Windows as a network allowed program in the firewall settings
Even then the wallet is not guaranteed to connect, so just try restarting it and leaving it until it does
HOWEVER! This brings me to a more serious issue and that is access time. I have decided to shift all my ADA back into my Bittrex account where it is far from safe, but I am concerned that one day I will simply not be able to connect locally and am locked out from managing my coins. Also the block sync time is getting ridiculous. If I fail to log into my wallet daily it can take over an hour just to get logged in. This IS NOT a viable wallet interface

You have to be patient. Deadalus has to go trough the whole blockchain. It may take up to 45 min.

Sorry to hear you’re having issues with the network.
Did you see IOHK put out a statement on connection issues: IOHK statement: connecting to network issue
Hopefully this helps! 
I’m really livid right now at these guys(The whole Cardano Team). They should simply decommission this ineffective wallet. Why jeopardise peoples hard earned investment with a half baked wallet. If they can’t get it right, there is no shame in partnering with someone( with good track record) in providing Wallets that are reliable and safe.
Using us as guinea pigs isn’t the best and it doesn’t speak well of the Cardano’s mgt as being credible people, when they can’t own up to minor issues.
My coins are on Bittrex for days and i can’t move them, please give us another wallet to work with since yours is epileptic.
By the way, i tried this suggestion it’s not working.
Mac
- Quit the application
- Click the clock that is located on the top right of the screen
- Select Open Date & Time Preferences
- Unlock the preferences
- Uncheck the Set date and time automatically
- Restart the application
Thanks.

Hi,
@Mitchell_R_Kirkpatri @elsorn @markljenkins
I was having the same connecting to network error for days and was also very frustrated and I agree that the wallet needs work, but I was able to fix it.
I noticed that the log file in C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Daedalus\Logs was over 250MB.
I shutdown the wallet and also killed the cardano-node process that was left running in task manager.
I deleted all the logs in the Logs directory (it would probably have been a better idea to move them to another folder)
When I restarted Daedalus, it synced with the network and opened!
Let me know if this helps.

Alright my wallet does work now. I left it running all night and while at work then finally connected. Now I can open and close it at any time I want too

first connect takes a while, after that it take seconds to sync. I think it would be good practice to open your wallet once a day.

Greetings,
I Am Having Trouble With My Tokens Not Showing Up In My Daedalus Wallet. I Sent Tokens Yesterday And The Day Before And It Worked Fine. Today No Such Luck. I Have Double Checked The Wallet Address Multiple Times And Its A Match. 1000 Ada missing. Please assist.
Ok, it has been reported that some people can fix connection issues by deleting the log files (not the folder but insides) and restarting daedalus. If anyone tries this, please report back.
Instruction on the site.

I solved my issue the following way (I’m on a Mac btw).
- Quit Daedalus (if open)
- Open Finder, press
CMD+SHIFT+G, - Enter this:
~/Library/Application Support/Daedalus/Wallet-1.0, and click GO. - Delete the file called
open.lock - Open Daedalus

I tried to remove everything from appdata/Roaming/Daedalus, I reinstalled the application, I left the wallet on for a day but no success.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
UPDATE: I restarted my machine and left the Wallet hanging on that page and now it is started asking to create or restore a wallet.
I started the restore, let’s see how long it takes to have it functional.
UPDATE2: After starting the Wallet restore, I waited 8 hourse with no success, I closed and opened the walled again and it got stuck another 8 hours “connection network”. I might give up no…
Thank you!
Same issue here happened after update. Deleting the blockchain partially solve the problem as it allows deadalus to resync. So it’s not a connection issue. But once closed and relaunched, the issue is still there. So for now, I have to delete the blockchain every time I want to use the wallet and resync the whole thing.
