Problem loading gifts in TNTConnect - I get the spinning pinwheel

Rich Dundore — Fri, 16 Oct 2026 12:46:10 GMT

Recently, I had to reinstall TNT Connect. I've had this problem in the past - if for any reason TNTConnect is closed on my laptop, it totally goes away - it's not in the Applications list. When I install TNTConnect, I can move through the installation without a problem and it pulls up my information correctly. I can move around most of the tabls on the left, but when I select "Gift Input," it's OK when I choose "Update" (it shouws the current/correct account balance), but when I hit "Download," I get the spinning pinwheel and it's locked up. I have to "force quit" to close the program. I'm on the most recent version (in fact, I've tried 4.1.18 as well as the 4.1.19 (Beta) versions - they both respond in the same way. Please advise - thanks for any help you can provide!

Backing up data

Nate Cheeseman — Tue, 13 Oct 2026 04:00:02 GMT

Yesterday I had a scary one,...my Dropbox file got overwritten, and I lost 100% of my TNT data. Fortunately, the IT guys on my team restored the old files. and I'm good now. But it's motivation to make sure I have a good TNT backup. When I do an export in TNT, it looks like my file size is 1,200 KB, but my Dropbox file looks like it's 10 times bigger. How do I know if my export is getting all of the data? When I tried to restore yesterday from my backup of 1,200 KB, it looked like the files were empty.

Aufgaben "Dank"

KatharinaHeinrich — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 16:19:16 GMT

Warum merkt das Programm nicht, wenn ich mich bei jemandem bedanke und es ins Journal schreibe? Es kommt trotzdem die Aufforderung "Letzter Dank war vor x Monaten". Ich muss diese Aufrufe alle von Hand löschen. Ich habe nämlich allen Spendern einen Dank geschickt und es entsprechend vermerkt. Aber wenn das Programm mich vorher nicht daran erinnert hat, kommt dann trotzdem die Aufforderung.

Wo kann das geändert werden? Oder ist das ein Thema für die Programmierer?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
K. Heinrich

How Do I Mail Merge Using Outlook For Windows?

John Tabakwot Mamman — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 06:50:39 GMT

I would like you to help me solve the problem of being unable to mail merge using the new Outlook for Windows. With the Outlook Classic, I had no problems, until recently when not all my mails would go. I realise that I have to now use the new Outlook.

Unable to install TNT Connect

Phillip Disney — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 16:44:43 GMT

I am trying to download TNT Connect on my new Mac. However, I do not get the install window after download. What do I need to do?

TNTware.com cannot connect

Kelley Canon — Thu, 17 Sep 2026 21:09:04 GMT

I had an error in the program when I think it was trying to connect to my Wycliffe account to update gift data. The error said I needed to update to the newest version but when I try to do that I get this prompt and button:

TntConnect would like to connect with your account on this website.

Allow TNTConnect to access my account on this website. (button text)

When I click the button I get this error message:

This site can’t be reached

127.0.0.1 refused to connect.

Try:

Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

This is the URL it's using when it gives this error:

http://127.0.0.1:65143/return?ApiKeyName=Wycliffe+Partners+Database.mpddb+(Kelley+Canon)&ApiKey=MWg2bnY0NDk6dXNlcjg0MTEz

Update issue

Aaron Telecky — Sat, 12 Sep 2026 21:35:05 GMT

Good morning,

I just attempted to run your new update for TnT Connect but as it was processing my virusware alerted me to an infected file and I had to kill the update. Now I don't have the app on my desktop anymore. Is this a problem others have encountered, and what can I do to restore my app and info?

Crash

Andres Staubli — Mon, 03 Aug 2026 07:24:14 GMT

My TNT Mac Version 4.1.r18 crashes after a few minutes of use. The entire application freezes and becomes completely unresponsive. The only option left is to force quit the software.

Mac access

Glenn Olson — Mon, 31 Aug 2026 10:50:53 GMT

My Mac updated to Tahoe 26.6.2 and now TntConnect will not run. The login screen opens and I select the database, but then nothing happens. What can I do? Thank you!

Hold off on upgrading to macOS 28 (coming fall 2027)

Troy Wolbrink — Mon, 18 May 2026 22:39:52 GMT

You may have noticed macOS warning you about Using Intel-based apps on a Mac with Apple silicon, and how support for it will be going away with macOS 28 (probably around fall of 2027).

This could be a showstopper for running TntConnect on your Mac, without the need for Parallels or VMware.

I'm hoping that CodeWeavers will update CrossOver to help us all get past this. But no solutions have yet been announced, so we're all still just waiting and hoping. For now, don't upgrade to macOS 28, which is expected to drop in fall 2027. Sorry, too many unknowns right now.

After upgrade to Tahoe 26.6.2, cannot open database

Glenn Olson — Fri, 28 Aug 2026 13:38:32 GMT

Good morning, Last night my computer upgraded to Tahoe 26.6.2. Tnt (wineskin) will now open and allow me to select the database, but the database does not open and I can do nothing further.

Thank you!

Donor Elf? TNT Doesn't download on my Mac

Paula Fritsche — Mon, 09 Jun 2025 19:39:03 GMT

I'm new to support raising though have been receiving donations for years.

Now husband and I both raising salary support in 2 Dif. ministries. Him with Young Life and they are using Donor Elf--or he is through them. This would simplify it if we were using the same donor type place.

Wondering if I can use that as well--if the Global Service Network staff portal/donations can be tied to that and auto inputed?

Tried several times and with techy husband to get TNT downloaded on to my Mac and it doesn't work--says won't work on this type of Mac--(Mac book air 2019; Catalina OS 10.15.7)

Thanks,

Paula with SOLO Mom Network

tntware.com email

AtTheLordsCommand — Mon, 26 Oct 2015 20:14:29 GMT

When I post a question on tntware.com, the replies come to an old email address. I have changed my profile email address, but the replies still come to the old address. Is there another place on my profile to change my email address?

Thank you,

How to find total giving over the last n years?

Mark Daubenmier — Thu, 06 Aug 2026 18:26:55 GMT

I see how to find the giving from someone for this year, last year, last 12 months, or lifetime, which is great.

It would be helpful to be able to find the total giving from each donor from the last n years where I can put in 2, 3, 4, or 5 for n.

Is that possible somehow?

MailChimp replacements like MailerLite

Jason Maas — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 16:24:10 GMT

Hi Troy,

Have you considered adding syncing support with any MailChimp competitors, such as MailerLite for example?

MailChimp is under new ownership and keeps making the limits on free accounts more strict. And paid accounts are not cheap! So I suspect that we're going to see some movement of TntConnect users away from MailChimp towards other systems.
