Was the error something along the lines of Unable to load blockchain "***\AppData\Roaming\MultiBit\multibit.spvchain"?Nick ODell 2014-11-07T15:38:49.590

Yes, exactly. Thats it. But i can't navigate to the .spvchain file.sdeath 2014-11-08T07:18:42.070

I'm on a Mac mate, i have no idea how to find files on this, nothing usually goes wrong.sdeath 2014-11-08T07:27:29.597

  • Close Multibit
  • Navigate to /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Multibit
  • Rename multibit.spvchain to multibit2.spvchain
  • Restart Multibit

Does this also apply to Windows where a testnet3 flag is used in the confit file? Trying to run Multibit on Testnet3 and it's not synchingWizard Of Ozzie 2014-11-08T06:22:41.977

I would if i was able to navigate there on my Mac.sdeath 2014-11-08T07:17:34.993

I don't even know how to uninstall multi bit on my Mac. Multibit help is totally useless, it just sends me to a page that tells me about port numbers and then says but you don't need to worry about port numbers and thats it.sdeath 2014-11-09T03:43:15.197

Thanks mate, your original answer did solve my problem, however as i said i was unable to navigate to the directory i needed as Mac Os hides the user library files, once i figured out how to see that it was fine, thank you very much.sdeath 2014-11-09T15:52:28.870

@sdeath That's out of scope of this question. You can ask a new question about it.Nick ODell 2014-11-09T16:26:59.743

Oh there it is, it turned up after all, thanks again.sdeath 2014-11-09T16:28:45.737
