Use this article when ROES orders fail to send from a Mac with Read timed out errors and malware may be interfering with uploads.

Product: ROES Desktop Category: Order Upload / Mac Audience: Customer / Support Article ID: 54
Common symptom
Orders fail to send from a Mac and report Read timed out errors.

Applies To

Mac computers.

Possible Cause

In reported cases, this failure was caused by malware on the Mac.

The malware appeared to redirect, or attempt to redirect, order uploads, which caused ROES order transmission to fail with timeout errors.

Suggested Scan Tool

Users have successfully addressed this issue by using the free or trial version of Malwarebytes to scan the Mac and remove the offending program: Malwarebytes for Mac.

Solution

1

Run a malware scan

Use Malwarebytes or another trusted malware scanner to scan the Mac.

2

Remove detected malware

Remove any malware or offending programs found by the scan.

3

Restart the Mac

Restart the computer after the malware removal is complete.

4

Try sending the order again

Launch ROES again and attempt to send the order.

Expected Result

After the malware is removed and the Mac is restarted, ROES should be able to send the order without the Read timed out upload failure.
