Let’s Fix It: Cannot Connect Error

Quite a few of you have reported connectivity issues during the past week.  Symptoms of this issue include: getting a “Can’t Connect” message at launch and getting a black window with a white circle at launch. We’ve developed a few workarounds for this issue, which you can try rather than writing into support.

The quickest and easiest workaround is to uninstall TuneUp and reinstall the latest version fresh. Click here to download the latest version of TuneUp for your OS (be sure that you uninstall first). Instructions for uninstalling TuneUp for Mac can be found here.

Lets fix it!

TuneUp Gold & Annual users will have to re-enter their Activation Codes. Click here if you need us to email it to you.


If you’re still experiencing issues, you might need to swap out your XML file:

  • Download this file (TuneUpAppSettings.xml) by right-clicking and selecting “save link as”
  • For PC: Open “My Computer” (or just “Computer” if you’re on Vista) and type %appdata% into the address bar. Click on the “TuneUpMedia” Folder and replace your existing “TuneUpAppSettings” file with the one linked above (the one that’s now on your Desktop). Make sure to replace the existing file. The issue should be resolved after restarting TuneUp.
  • For a Mac: Copy the TuneUpAppSettings.xml file to: Home Folder > Library > Preferences > TuneUpMediaPreferences

  • If you’re still experiencing the issue, please contact support and mention you’ve already completed these troubleshooting steps. Thanks for your patience with this; we are working hard to resolve these errors – so please do not hesitate to let us know all the details of your issue!
