Thats quite interesting to know then...because the second I opened Tor and reopened electrum, everything connected. I'd be interested to know what happened in the background to allow electrum to connect...

OK...I am a complete moron!! This entire time I didn't have my tor browser running. I completely forgot that it runs over Tor and was trying to connect without it open. The second I opened my Tor browser it connected. Sorry for wasting your time...

Although I'm sure this happens to other noobs like me all the time. So I figure this post will help plenty of others. Again, remember to have your Tor browser connected before opening Electrum.

Ok so I went to blockchain.info and confirmed that the transactions were completed...so that definitely puts my major concern at ease. Now, to access it...can't do anything until electrum connects to the network. I have it setup to select server automatically. So it should find a server that's online correct? I wouldn't expect that it's stuck on an offline server? I've confirmed that there's no firewall or antivirus interference.

Otherwise, I am unchecking "find servers automatically" and randomly selecting different servers, but nothing successful yet. Unless you can think of something else specifically I can do, you think it's just a matter of time until electrum connects to a server successfully?

Thanks for your help either way...

My Electrum wallet isn't connecting for some reason. I have Mac OS X El Capitan(10.11.3) and using Electrum 2.6.4. I don't want to uninstall or really mess with anything until I know what's going on. Everything was working fine a couple days ago. I just sent BTC from my coinbase account so I'm concerned it will be lost if I start uninstalling and reinstalling things while BTC is enroute. What should I do?
