I'm completely new to electrum/bitcoin. When I try to enter my wallet seed, the screen does not provide me with a next button that can be executed ( not highlighted). I am on a mac.

If you input more than 12 words, the next button will grey out. Your seed should have 12. You cannot use a seed from different wallet (Armory for example or anything else than Electrum). |

Yeah, Electrum started to implement 13 word seeds in the 2.x versions, however the 1.x versions use 12 word seeds. OP, what version of Electrum are you using? If you're using a 1.x version you won't be able to recover a 13 word seed, similarly to how you wouldn't be able to recover a 12 word seed with Electrum 2.x. |

This means the seed is incorrect. See if all the words in it are from the electrum dictionary https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/tree/master/lib/wordlist |
