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?

Did you try: Close Daedalus. Open a terminal. cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Daedalus/Wallet-1.0 rm open.lock This fixed the issue for me on a previous version on my Mac.

Hello @Arksun76 If it’s still stuck, close Daedalus then relaunch it. It worked for me. Otherwise restarting your Mac usually does the trick. If you keep having this problem, then it must be something in your set-up, I would recommend to email the Support Team with as many details as possible by clicking at the bottom of this page https://daedaluswallet.io/faq/

@CosmosX Of course tried all that, nothing worked, internet connection rock solid, other crypto wallets like Nano wallet, Exodus etc all run beautifully on the same Mac no issues. However… @cdufour THANK YOU!! That finally did the trick those terminal commands. It showed my sync was down to 70% and quickly worked its way back up to 100% showing my balance. But seriously guys… to make a crypto wallet work in 2018 we have to rummage through forums to find a post about inserting terminal command codes to get a wallet working!!! Cardano team must do better than this!!

Success! Happy that sorted the issue out. Thank @rickymac who provided this fix. Make sure you have the latest version. When I downloaded the newest version it fixed this issue for me.

@cdufour It was downloading the very latest version that caused my wallet to get permanently stuck on ‘connecting to network’ ! The older one was fine, well, with that one I sometimes had to leave it running overnight but it did eventually work, this current latest mac version was just stuck constantly. Until I tried those terminal commands you suggest, so thank you again :slight_smile:

Thx for posting - did you have to restore with the seed words?

Woohoo! @markjenkins @Godspeed I did as you instructed and this worked. I found I had 1+gb *.LOG files and after deleting the whole folder after Uninstall, the new DL and re-install worked. The re-sync took a VERY VERY long time but it works now. Thank you a bunch!

Thanks marklijenkins I followed your process and it worked for me. Now, I can see my units in wallet. However, this is extremely lengthy process. You won’t believe me it took my approx 38 hours to finish this process. But eventually worked for me. Thanks, Paresh

I had same “connecting to network” issue. I reinstalled my wallet several times bit it did not work for me. Then, I delete my entire files from C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Daedalus. It took me approx. 6 hours to delete this file. Then, I reinstalled wallet and it took me 14 hours to installed and syncing. After syncing to restore my wallet from backup it took my 18 hours. This is extremely lengthy process but eventually worked for me. Now, I can see my units in wallet. I am using window 10. I moved my all units from this wallet.

Add same issue and the only way to fixed! open C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Daedalus in file explorer move the subfolder /DB-1.0 to the new location or delete the DB-1.0 file Open Daedalus wallet let update the new Blocks it my take time! And it will work!
