Cannot access my etherum, need help please!

[tweaver123]

Hey guys. I’m really basic when it comes to
My understanding about ether but if someone could help me with some simple instructions to my problem I would really appreciate it.
I bought ether in 2017 on my MacBook 2011 and store it using etherwall 2.4.0 because any news versions my mac cannot support. Now when I try access my ether it says:
“Could not find geth. Please check geth path and try again”.
Would somone please let me know how I can fix this please?

There are a few things that jump out at me from what you posted:

1. I have an old 2009 mac book pro and I can run latest etherwall on it (in fact that's what I use to release it). That is your MacOS X version on that laptop. Is there no update you can apply? I know Apple has funky EOL policies though.
2. There are HTTP errors reported, unrelated to geth. I just checked and things seem ok for me, can you re-try please just to see if those HTTP errors still show? this could just be due to the old version of Etherwall however.
3. The geth data directory you circled seems wrong. I think it should point to a folder in the home of the current user (by default). Did you change this setting?
4. Geth is bundled in the .app itself, you can check yourself if the file is in there by right clicking the app and going into the folder strcuture.

As an alternative workaround you could try downloading latest Geth itself and going to settings to change the path to geth there. I suspect there's more going on here though.

Lastly, don't worry about losing access, your accounts are quite safe as long as you have the files intact (or another backup of course). The accounts can also be accessed by other wallets than Etherwall, including web ones so worst case scenario you could do that. Do be careful if you choose to go that route though, make sure whatever wallet you try to use is legitimate.

The accounts should be in the data directory, in your case this seems to be set wrong atm. but if you used it before it'll be there. On the MAC this should be in ~/Library/Ethereum (~ being the user's home folder)

Hey Ales In regards to your questions: 1) I have a mac book not a a Pro, which is on OS siera 10.12.6 and therefore the new Etherwall doesn't work on it as it requires 10.15 minimum from what I have discovered. 2) I have copied everything that come in in the logs at the bottom of the email for you to see. 3) Yes, when I was trying to fix the issue I think I changed the location without really knowing what I was doing and am unsure what the original location is. 4) Im not quite sure what you mean here, when I right click the etherwall app I get the following options: [image: Screen Shot 2022-10-23 at 16.35.48.png] LOGS: bail[hard]: Could not find Geth. Please check Geth path and try again. Could not find Geth. Please check Geth path and try again.

I have an old 2009 mac book pro and I can run latest etherwall on it (in fact that's what I use to release it). That is your MacOS X version on that laptop. Is there no update you can apply? I know apples has funky EOL policies though. 2. There are HTTP errors reported, unrelated to geth. I just checked and things seem ok for me, can you re-try please just to see if those HTTP errors still show? this could just be due to the old version of Etherwall however. 3. The geth data directory you circled seems wrong. I think it should point to a folder in the home of the current user (by default). Did you change this setting? 4. Geth is bundled in the .app itself, you can check yourself if the file is in there by right clicking the app and going into the folder strcuture. As an alternative workaround you could try downloading latest Geth itself and going to settings to change the path to geth there. I suspect there's more going on here though. Lastly, don't worry about losing access, your accounts are quite safe as long as you have the files intact (or another backup of course). The accounts can also be accessed by other wallets than Etherwall, including web ones so worst case scenario you could do that. Do be careful if you choose to go that route though, make sure whatever wallet you try to use is legitimate. The accounts should be in the data directory, in your case this seems to be set wrong atm. but if you used it before it'll be there. On the MAC this should be in ~/Library/Ethereum (~ being the user's home folder) — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub <#143 (comment)>, or unsubscribe <https://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AIP2HGAEX5AAJ6TPJORXLWLWEVJGFANCNFSM6AAAAAARMFXVVM> .

Try setting the geth datadir path to ~/Library/Ethereum where ~ is replaced by /Users/<your-username>/

That should fix the datadir problem. You can also look into that folder to see if it exists and contains anything. It should have folders like geth/chaindata or geth/keystore in it.

Hey Ales I have done what you mentioned. But now it said this: “Unable to establish IPC connection to geth” so what should be the location for the geth path?

Your geth path looks ok. I'd suggest downloading latest official geth and putting it somewhere then pointing etherwall to it. Dňa nedeľa, 23. októbra 2022, tweaver123 napísal:

@tweaver123 so this log was the app log. Can you also please show the "geth" log? (it should be in another tab under the logs tab)

For a workaround since this old Mac issue is hard to address, you should be able to use your account files with another wallet. Easiest would probably be a web wallet such as MyEthereumWallet. NOTE: be careful of course and check that the other wallets are safe.

You can import your keyfiles into any geth-compatible wallet and use it. They should be in the ~/Library/Ethereum/keystore folder.
