Hi Mike,

Fellow user here. I see you’ve restarted the Mac, but, have you tried restarting the router and see if that clears things up?

Cheers.

Thanks Dan! Yes, I have but I’ll try that again. Mike

Hi, @Mike_Capone, thank you for the report. Could you, please, use the directions found here and send over a set of Roon logs from your macOS to our File Uploader?

Thanks!

try changing your DNS provider… I’ve just helped others with DNS issues…

try 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8

6

Sorry for my delay, but I’ve submitted the files you requested. It’s tagged with my email: [Moderated] Thanks!

7

Have you tried danny’s suggestion for changing the dns?

8

No, trying to figure out how that is done.

9

Do you have their Panoramic Wifi Gateway? If not what router are you using?

10

Yes. Their Panoramic Gateway.

11

Hmm, what I got by a quick google is that unit doesn’t have the option to change DNS, but, that entry was serveral years ago and I’m not sure how appropriate it is.

12

I’m looking on the DNS Server data & currently see a “Primary DNS” number. Is that where I need top be?

13

Thanks! I guess I’ll just have to wait on Ivan’s response.

14

I would write down the number which is there, and then replace it with 1.1.1.1 and see if that helps. If it doesn’t work then you can go back and put the original number there.

15

I’ll do that and see what happens. Thanks!

16

Is it possible for me to just remove Roon and start over? I have my albums, playlist, etc. in Dropbox so I can reestablish the key data I need. Thanks in advance!

17

Ivan, when will you have an opportunity to look at my logs to determine what is happening? I would really like to get this fixed today. Thanks for your help. Mike

Hi @Mike_Capone ,

Are you still having issues with the update here? If so, can you please try to manually install Roon 2.0 from our downloads page? Here is a direct link:

https://download.roonlabs.net/builds/Roon.dmg

Do let us know if this works!

This did not work. Resulted in same message I.e. “There was an error checking for an update”.

This was my process: Closed Roon. Downloaded file as you requested. Got message asking if I wanted to replace existing file. I responded YES. Reopened Roon & went to Settings/About. Version 1.8 was still there.

21

Also, I’ve closed Roon and restarted my router. That allowed what appeared to be a partial download of 2.0 but ultimately that produced the same result.
