hi, the icon is in green and i had tried to change manually the server (all of them). when i load the transaction with the adress it says "transaction unrelated to your wallet" . Im 100% sure of the adresses i gave. the persons have confirmed me that point.
The problem ocurred before i tried to update or restore the wallet with the seed.
It was simple i gave the adress from my electrum wallet , the guy said its sent here is the blockchain but still nothing on my wallet.
A bug ? others adresses generated?

Did you change the gap limit for the wallet in question?

no i've changed nothing

I am still not clear if you can see 1AVdyqWpiXNy3jpQHWDFQZuhBuvodY2QgC in your addresses tab or not.

If that address is not there at all, then maybe you made a mistake typing the seed when you restored your wallet.
You might try restoring from seed again, this time paying very close attention to each letter of the seed.

This is especially a problem with older versions of electrum, because they allow a typo in the seed and end up giving a different list of addresses then you originally had. Newer electrum versions generate a longer seed that includes a checksum to prevent this kind of mistake.

To recap my understanding of your situation:
1) you created a wallet, found 1AVdyqWpiXNy3jpQHWDFQZuhBuvodY2QgC in your addresses and asked someone to send BTC to 1AVdyqWpiXNy3jpQHWDFQZuhBuvodY2QgC .
2) you deleted that wallet, restored a fresh wallet from your seed
3) in your newly restored wallet you cannot see 1AVdyqWpiXNy3jpQHWDFQZuhBuvodY2QgC in your addresses any more

If I guessed wrong about this, please clarify.

i havent created a new wallet its the same since the debut.
i've asked someone to send on this adress and waited. some days passed and still nothing.
then i saved the seed and deleted the wallet and updated it, but this time again ...nothing.
and in the actual wallet i cannot see the adress .
When i gave it to person A and asked for the paiement , few hours later it wasn't there.

Hello to all,
I have big one problem with my wallet electrum and I thank sincerely beforehand all the notices which can help me to understand what happened.

I waited for 2 payments btc from 2 different persons, here the blockchains :

Https: // blockchain.info/fr/address/1AVdyqWpiXNy 3jpQHWDFQZuhBuvodY2QgC
https: // blockchain.info/address/1JJy1npBfxg14TS 22YptB5WZb5q4qtgLxQ

None of them arrived. the addresses that I supplied to receive payments do not seem any more in the part "used"
The addresses were the ones(were fully the ones) of the wallet electrum, I use nothing else.
It is hard to understand
i had even tested to send me a low amount and him too does not appear in the wallet.
When the problem started we pointed out to me that my version was not updated. i did it after that.
I have no other wallets, this is the only one . Before this problem everything was ok.

Thanks a lot and sorry for my english

The first of two addresses shows it received 0.941 BTC.

Confirm that one of the entries in your "Addresses" tab is 1AVdyqWpiXNy3jpQHWDFQZuhBuvodY2QgC.

If you see that address, then maybe your wallet is not connected or synced up.
Look at the circle in the lower right corner of the window.
If it is "red" it means you are not connected.
"Green" means you do have a connection.
You could click that icon to see the connection details.
You might try turning off "automatic" and manually selecting different servers to see if you can get connected.

You should close Electrum and open it again.
That gives it another chance to make the automatic connection, and sometimes gets the wallet to sync up.

If you DO NOT see the address 1AVdyqWpiXNy3jpQHWDFQZuhBuvodY2QgC anywhere in your "Addresses" tab, then maybe that is not your address. Maybe there is a typo in the address or something like that.
