TweetDeck is "unable to connect" to Twitter

    I've been using and old version of TweetDeck for ages, and just noticed that Twitter has taken over TweetDeck.

    So I installed the latest version. When I try to login, I get the following error message:

    Unable to connect. Please check your network.

    The old TweetDeck continues to work perfectly.

    Why am I getting this message with the new TweetDeck?

    You're not missing much. The new Twitterfied Tweetdeck is almost comically bad. I'd recommend either sticking with 0.38.2 (the last Adobe AIR version) or finding a new client.

    It's horrible, but this is the solution :

    1. Close Tweetdeck
    2. Open Internet Explorer
    3. Go to https://api.tweetdeck.com
    4. Close IE
    5. Start Tweetdeck
    6. Log on.

    twitter - Tweetdeck search column incomplete
  • Questioner

    When I add a new search column in Tweetdeck some of the chosen keywords give incomplete search results compared to search results from twitter.com. I tried another Tweetdeck username (for syncing), deleted the search column from the server and tried reinstalling the application. Nothing works. Weird thing is that only a few keywords do not work properly (and I used them before...). Anyone any idea?

    There might not be a way around it, the Twitter API can be a little shaky with some less marquee features like searching so the application may not be able to see more than what you can get it to see. Have you tried Twitter searching in another program? If you get the same results in that as you do with Tweetdeck than that is what this is.
