## *Can I use pruned mode?*
Yes, but if you have many older addresses you will need to re-download the blockchain in order to see your balance and transaction history, which will take some time.

## I have issues connecting my Hardware-Wallet via USB?!
Make sure to not use the Safari-Browser. Chrome is the best option, firefox should work, too. Make sure that your USB-cable is working. Often enough they are not working anymore. Also, make sure to upgrade to the latest firmware, ledger but also others are known to not work with specific older versions. On Mac/Linux, there is also something called udev-rules which have to be installed. Check your Hardware-documentation on how to install them. For trezor, there is e.g. the trezor-bridge which does that.
## *How to upgrade?*
Use this command: `pip3 install cryptoadvance.specter --upgrade`
