ehsa42 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Log Links: MAC (https://synergy-logs.symless.com/2017-10-12/3828-2017-10-12T17-12-45.log) WINDOWS (https://synergy-logs.symless.com/2017-10-12/3828-2017-10-12T17-12-00.log) Hello, all. I'm having issues with the new beta. Synergy 1 works between my Macbook pro running Mac OS High Sierra and my Windows machine running Windows 7. However, after installing the Synergy 2 beta, all that happens is Synergy on my Windows machine shows a black box with a green bar cycling repeatedly across the screen. On my Mac, I simply see a black box with the name of my computer in it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've signed in and everything without success.

ehsa42 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 I disabled my firewall and followed the troubleshooting steps in the guide without success. I have uninstalled and reinstalled on both machines as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsa42 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 One other thing: I notice something in the log file for my Mac that wasn't there before. Synergy seems frozen on the "requesting profile snapshot", and, when I move the computer box around, I get the following: [ Config ] [2017-10-12T18:04:14] ERROR: Reply status code: 400 [ Config ] [2017-10-12T18:04:14] ERROR: Reply error message: Invalid JSON request: bad numeric conversion: negative overflow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsa42 Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 Aaaaaaannnnd now both machines are giving the "Invalid JSON request" message after I restarted the services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolanar Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I have not gotten it to work at all. I also have High Sierra, but I'm using Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matdave Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Okay, I'm not the only one. I was trying to figure out what I was missing, but nothing happens with High Sierra and a Windows 10 computer on the same network side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GranPaSmurf Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I have so little experience with MAC I hesitate to answer. But is the Windows Firewall fully opened up? NOT disabled, but with the permissions and port opened? https://symless.com/forums/topic/4208-how-to-use-with-windows-firewall/#comment-17610 https://symless.com/forums/topic/4208-how-to-use-with-windows-firewall/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if maybe there is some kind of port issue or something on the Mac, but I don't know enough about opening ports to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsa42 Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Nick, Already tried running the new beta. It pulls up fine on my Windows machine, but my Mac says "There was a problem connecting to the background service. Retry..." I've retried and restarted to no avail. Thanks!
