I did contact support and they’re looking at it, has anyone else experienced this? This morning I tried to run Trainerroad on another mac computer and it worked fine.
Hey there! I looked into this issue and chatted with Ming about it - we think it might be a problem specific to your Mac. If your phone and another Mac can log in, that means it’s not a problem with your router or provider. Especially if you tried using a different network.
What’s different about your Mac that’s experiencing the issue? Something must have changed the other day when you could no longer log in. I’m not sure what is going on but I’m happy to help troubleshoot.
For posterity’s sake, can you confirm that you don’t have an active firewall under this menu in your computer’s settings?
It seems like it works on all ot her Mac computers I’ve tried it on, so it must be something specific to mine. However it’s a bit strange that all other apps on that computer can access internet (i.e. Spotify, Skype etc) but Trainerroad seems blocked for some reason.
I also tried reinstalling the MacOS but that didn’t help either I’m afraid. Also tried with the beta version of Trainerroad, same issue.
Thanks for verifying that! As I said, this is super strange and we all seem to be in agreement that it must be something with your computer.
Are you able to access trainerroad.com on the web browser of that computer?
Is there an Apple store nearby that you could take the computer to? They may be able to examine this and investigate a little further than we can.
Hi @James_Graham, have you reached out to us at support@trainerroad.com yet? We might be able to help troubleshoot this as long as it isn’t the exact same weird issue @uberweiss was experiencing.
@uberweiss, with help from support we eventually figured out it was due to my mac’s hostname somehow having a linebreak character at the end of it. The fix was to reset my computers hostname.
i.e.
open the Terminal app
type: hostname
it’ll tell you what your current hostname is. Copy this, ensuring only the characters are selected, nothing after.
type: sudo scutil --set HostName YourHostNameHere where YourHostNameHere is what you copied in the previous step
