Title: why did installed electrum with wallet disappear on my Macbook?
Post by: Don777 on November 17, 2017, 03:56:08 PM
Hello,

I am puzzled by what happened to my wallet:
I bought a Trezor, installed and connected it to my PC.
Next I did a test transaction from my Electrum wallet on my Macbook to the trezor wallet connected to my PC.
I received the bitcoin amount.
Next I wanted to open my wallet again on my Macbook and get this message: ''you are opening the application Electrum for the first time. Are you sure you want to open this application?

What happened to Electrum & my wallet?
Thanks.

First you may have to check if your wallet files exits inside the folder that electrum creates after the wallet has been created. You could navigate to  ~/.electrum and check for a wallet folder and see if the wallet file exists inside it. If it does, then probably there's some permission issue due to which your electrum can't access the contents of that folder or the wallet.

Edit: Also I guess as soon as you connect the trezor it should update your wallet, that is after inputting the PIN you've designated for it.

update: restarting my Macbook made me able to launch Electrum and open my wallet again.
Maybe electrum just crashed. Thanks.
