Time Tracker not opening

Hello

 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the upwork desktop app about 20 times, however, everytime I try to open it I am only able to see the "messages box" and am unable to see the time tracker window. Kindly help, I have tried a lot but to no avail.

 

Thanks

Hi, I have a same problem. I can't open my tracker then only messages shows up. What I did was uninstall first, then I search "Upwork" on drive C. I deleted all the folder that named upwork then reinstall the app. It worked now. I can use my tracker again.

Hi Karan,

If you are using windows, on the bottom right side of the taskbar, there will be an icon of Upwork time tracker, right-click on it to view the time tracker, preview attached below.

I hope this is helpful.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, there is no such icon for Upwork time tracker available, I only see one for the Messages app and that's it.

I have the same issue, please contact me. I'm using Windows

Hi Tina,

 

Could you please try exiting the App, then delete the folder %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Upwork and then re-launch the App again. It will ask you to log in again. Please, let us know if the issue persists after that.

 

Thank you!

I'm not sure what OS you are using, so I'll share troubleshooting steps for both Windows and Mac. Let me know if the issue persists after trying this so that I can assist you further.

 

For Windows:

  3. Start the app again

  1. Uninstall the application
  2. Open the terminal app​

  4. Then run this command mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Upwork{,.bak}

 

Thank you.

Hi Aleksandar,

 

I also have the same trouble. The time tracker doesn't show the contract, only the messages. It happened yesterday and I thought maybe it's from my device or I need to upgrade the time tracker version. So, I do uninstall the app and download it from Upwork web then re-install.

I do repeat this 5 times, but it's still not working.

I used mac 10.10.5 and already did the command as your mentioned.

 

Please help me.

 

Thank you.

Hi Joanne,

 

Thanks for the response and support from agent Ruth S.

Time tracker issue has been solved:

Screen Shot 2021-02-17 at 11.19.17 AM.png

 

First, uninstall the app, then clear the Upwork app cache in here ~/Library/Application

Reinstall the app version 5.5.0.0

Run this command tccutil reset All 

Final command mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Upwork{,.bak

Then the app works from the beginning.

Thank you Moderator Aleksandar

 

Have a great day everyone.

Hi, I have the same problem. Can you please specify how to do this?

 

For Mac:

  1. Uninstall the application

  3. Run this command tccutil reset All
  4. Then run this command mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/Upwork{,.bak}

I don't understand what terminal app means?

Hi Luiggi,

 

Thank you for your concern. I got an email from one support member. I tried all types of tips and suggestions (Clean everything, Boot up the PC, Disconnect auto sign in, bla bla) but nothing changed. It's all about the IP issues. I change my internet connection and then everything is fine and solved my issues. I appreciate your help. Wish you all the best.

 

Regards,

Nayem

Hi, thanks for the help. Your tip worked for me. I suggest everyone if  facing any issue with the time tracker please try to sign out first and agin log in with different internet connection such as mobile data or etc. The issue might be because of the IP address. I hope this solution works for everyone.

Good day! I have same issue I did all instruction that you provide but my upwork time tracker still not working. I need your help to resolve this problem.

Hello Goran,

 

I just tried it again. I reinstalled Upwork desktop app and it's only showing the messages app. The timetracker is still missing it doesn't also appear when I right-click the icon on my taskbar, I have work later in the day and I need to be able to time in. Please help.

Hi Aera,

 

Could you please try going to Settings on your Desktop App and logging out and back in? Please let us know if the issue persists.

 

Thanks!

I bought a new MacBook Air with the Big Sur 11.6 OS and M1 chip and haven't been able to launch the Upwork Time Tracker. I opened a support ticket (#32728748) for this two weeks ago. I've been told by Upwork customer support it's been escalated to the highest level and it could take two more weeks (or more) to resolve. I've had to use the manual time option all this time, and I'm concerned about it eroding client confidence. When I try to open the Time Tracker, it starts to launch and then shuts down and reverts to Finder. I'm wondering if a setting or two needs to be changed. I've tried other workarounds listed in Upwork forum strings but nothing has worked. I've offered to do a screen share with Upwork technical support to try different workarounds but they don't want to do that for security reasons. If anyone has a fix for my computer configuration I'd love to hear it. Thanks.
