My Mac wallet has been 'Out of Sync' for the past many days.
Is it just me or is anybody else also experiencing this?

My Windows wallet syncs and stakes just fine. Has a lot of connections too...

Do you have connections? How many?

btw what does connection means ?? does it mean the number of people who are opening their wallet atm ?
during my first 4 or 5 days I was only getting 1 active connection , but after that I started to see 10 and more active connections
also when there is only 1 connection my wallet can't keep up to date with the blocks , I had to close it and open it in order to be updated
but when there is 5 or more connections life is really easier

my wallet is always up to date with the blockchain and staking is working really great
now it's showing only 1 active connection Sad

Yes, basically connections show the number of people who have wallets open. In reality it is a bit more complex: more exactly it is the number of wallets or just nodes running and accessible from your network. It could be a regular user wallet, or a headless node (think Linux), or a block explorer node, a seednode etc.

Many users keep their wallets running all the time, and that ensures they (and others as well) have many connections. The longer you keep your wallet open, the more connections it will find.
