D. Wallet on Apple Mac has always worked perfectly, but today it is stuck at “connecting to network…” have tried restarting a couple of times. Is my version good? I’m not sure what version I am on, because About says 0.8.2 but the title bar on the window says 1.0.3619. ![50](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex023/uploads/cardano/original/2X/3/381bd56a6cbd8f490841ba319968fa5d246018eb.png) ---

The later version number will be the correct one, I’d guess, but anyway that’s not the issue, this is a common problem – try searching the forum for “connecting”. This is from the Daedalus FAQ: > My screen is stuck at “Connecting to network” after updating the wallet > > This is because some of the files are missing due to the update. In order to fix this issue, you’ll need to reinstall the application. [https://daedaluswallet.io/faq/](https://daedaluswallet.io/faq/) ---

Did you recently update your Mac OS? I did yesterday and had this issue. In fact each time I have updated the the OS I have had to do the following. Daedalus not launching: disconnect from internet and relaunch. OK now it is launching and stuck on connecting to network. Shutdown Daedalus. I use Lil Snitch as a firewall, so I delete the firewall rules I have for Cardano and relaunch. Now everything is fine. Daedalus works as expected from now on. The wallet is finicky. I don’t know why this method works for me but has solved my problems after each OS update. ---

Nope, no updates. I went to download a newer version and I am on the latest already. hmmm. ---

regsanman you literally just went in to Lil Snitch and deleted the rules manually? possible this is occurring to me as well because I just installed the latest security update from apple and i also use lil snitch. After upgrading Mac OS I am unable to open the Daedalus Wallet. ---

I went to Lil Snitch Configuration and scrolled down to “Cardano-Node” . There are 3 rules there allowing connections. I think I just unchecked them instead of deleting. Same difference though, Then upon relaunch Lil Snitch presented dialogues asking for permissions, recreating the rules. I may have my Lil Snitch set to a more manual mode. ---

Amazed they have issues. Totally pedestrian. They have like 100 million USD or something, can’t they just hire a contractor for 6 months to sort these kind of trivial problems out? ---

I closed all apps, restarted mac, immediately opened wallet - worked. ---

It looks good, I’ll give it that. I think there is some kind of background process that makes the wallet work and possibly if that crashes for whatever reason, then it does the “connecting forever” thing. ---

I ended up finding a resolution to my issues with the Cardano wallet “connecting” forever. If anyone else is experiencing this issue on a mac, check out my response to the Cardano team’s post here: [IOHK statement: connecting to network issue](https://forum.cardano.org/t/iohk-statement-connecting-to-network-issue/1545/26) ---

For this issue, they might be having maintenance or something… since they only got few nodes this might be a common issue in this Byron stage. Maybe if we’re running Shelley, issues like this will be a thing of the past… ---

ok, thanks for the correction. Normals apps that’s the usual excuse.
