3.0.6 is the version. The wallet is connected now ( I got a green in the right corner). All the history displayed correctly. Just the last transaction is with status verified, but the amount is +0. and there is no amount received. It's like I didn't receive that amount. But when I check the transaction details, it says that it's confirmed.

OK, what is the transaction id? (Right click the tx and 'details')

Then click the green circle and tell me what number Blockchain: says for blocks.

Hi again,
I just downloaded and installed the last electrum wallet version, but now I got two electrum icons on the desktop.
I downloaded it for here https://electrum.org/#download - Windows Installer. Should I remove the previous wallet icon?
The problem is that my last received transaction is 0. I've checked it in blockchain and see, that is with status confirmed. But it my history and balance is 0 and don't have that amount in my balance. What should I do about it?
Thank you in advance!

Don't worry about a desktop icon. What version number is displayed at the top left of the windows? Is it now connected to the network or does it still say synchronising?

Sorry for asking so much maybe stupid for you questions, but if I understand correct I should just download the last version, install it and the wallet will be updated automatic. Am I correct? And will have there the entire history and the money also, right?
Thanks in advance for your replies! I really appreciate it!

Yes.

As @Lucius just pointed out you should always have a copy of your seed phrase in case of emergency. I have upgraded many times and never needed to use it but it is a sensible precaution to take.

TheQuin , thank you!
I will upgrade the wallet now and will let you know if everything is fine.

There is many fake sites who pretend to be real and legitimate Electrum site,so be careful and download only from https://electrum.org/#home . When you search for "Electrum" you may see paying add at the top of the search results,it is fake and it should be avoided at all costs.

Before upgrade be sure to have your seed safe, and that it is 100% accurate,only in case something goes wrong.

Just download and install. It will automatically upgrade and you will not lose any settings. You should do this anyway as there is a vulnerability in versions 2.6 to 3.04. Use https://electrum.org/#download as there are many phishing sites.

Thanks for the replies!

TheQuin, I am not so good with that and don't know how to open that command and don't know how to do ping.
codewench, my wallet is version 2.6.4 . How to upgrade the version? Should I download the new one and delete the old one? I am worried, because I got money in my wallet.

Last few days my electrum wallet keeps on "synchronizing" and nothing change. ... The status is still "synchronizing" with blue arrows in the right corner.
My last received transaction there is 0. I've checked it in blockchain and the status of the last transaction is "received". But in my balance is 0. I guess, because my wallet isn't connected.

This appears to be a known bug as discussed in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/electrum-received-transaction-with-0btc-instead-of-0275-2829027

It should be fixed in the latest 3.0.6 version of Electrum.

You are correct that it is a connection issue and trying different servers and your firewall settings were the correct way to try to start fixing the problem.

Can you open a command prompt and see if you can ping the server you trying to connect to?

Example this is what I get right now:

Hi ,

I will be very thankful if you help me!
Last few days my electrum wallet keeps on "synchronizing" and nothing change. I did some Google research and follow the tips there, but didn't help at all. I un-tick the auto-connect box, changed the servers manually... allo the electrum application in firewall... nothing. The status is still "synchronizing" with blue arrows in the right corner.
My last received transaction there is 0. I've checked it in blockchain and the status of the last transaction is "received". But in my balance is 0. I guess, because my wallet isn't connected.
Thank you in advance for your help!
