fharczuk Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I get this when launching retrospect mac 10.2.0 127.0.0.1 Connecting... I had this happen 2 weeks ago and I had to uninstall and reinstall several times to finally get it working. This is happening too much, any suggestions? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdunagan Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 The Mac console is trying to find the local Retrospect server. If it stays on "Connecting..." for more than a couple seconds, the server might not be running, possibly due to a crash. You can check in the Retrospect pane of System Preferences. You can see if it was a crash by looking for /Library/Application Support/Retrospect/assert_log.utx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fharczuk Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 It did it again. I think this happened when i shut down the computer; i normally leave it on. The assert_log doesnt show anything recently. the operations_log last shows when I shut down the computer. the retroisa_log shows constant activity. Please help. I haven't figured out an easy way to uninstall/reinstall. the last time I had to do it several times with reboots not knowing what the real trick was. the last several installs didn't recreate the uninstall utility, is there a way to get that back?

fharczuk Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 A reboot and now it's working. I have a media set with a password on network storage, as soon as the desktop came up the storage location asked to be mounted. I figured this had something to do with retrospect. previously this did not show up, could this be causing retrospect to connect to the server?

bdunagan Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Well, it certainly shouldn't cause the connection to hang. We'll look into whether NASs with passwords could cause that sort of issue. Glad the reboot fixed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
