Check to see if you have a firewall or security software running in the background that might be blocking the connection.

I'm having the same issue

The server is up without any problems for me. Try disabling any anti-virus you have and try again to see if that might be blocking the connection.

We are investigating for any problems on our end.

Same problem here. The ZygorUpdater on my Mac quit working this morning. Under the "Your Account" section it says "Welcome (null)! It does show the Current version number, but not the Latest version.

Are you all using Mac? And are you using the old client or the new Java client?

[Zygor Admin]

The connection issues are only if you're using an outdated version of the client. Please download the new client from the Members Area: http://www.zygorguides.com/members/

That fixed it! Apple just rolled out an update for Mavericks (to 10.10.1), and they love to disable Java on every update. In my case after downloading/installing Java Version 8 (update 25) from Oracle, it took a couple reboots before the Updater began working properly again. Thanks.

We're battling an issue with older versions of the new Java client hammering the server with guide version checks, so they had to get the boot.

The VERY old clients don't hammer, so they're free to connect (again) - you can keep using the old client for now, if it works otherwise.

Note that the old "gray" updaters are no longer supported.

I am having the same problem. Do I need to completely uninstall the updater and reinstall?

[ZG Support 1]

Try restarting the updater client.

It worked - thank you!
