Topic: issues with the bitcoin wallet app on OSX (Read 1814 times)
Make sure you forward port 8333 in your router. I had a similar issue back thinking it was MSE but it was my router the whole time. 
the network has been very slow recently and the last update seems to have problems connecting. leave the client open for a long while and once the entire blockchain downloads u should then receive ur btc's
ok i now have 113094 blocks, 2 connections, and 0 transactions now, but still havent gotten the coins. I restarted the program and enabled generate coins. is there anything else i should do?

i just downloaded the bitcoin wallet app and everything seemed to work fine until i had someone send me bitcoins. As soon someone sent me some bitcoins I received "2500 blocks," but i still have zero connections, zero transactions, and my wallet balance is zero. probably a noob question, but I just want to make sure nothing's wrong. when should my balance update? Is there something special I have to do?

Nothing appears under transactions either and yes, generate coins is on
