MIST 0.7.4 "Waiting for blocks" for a long period of time

[FaguiCurtain]

I am running MIST 0.7.4 (updated this morning) on MacOS X 10.11.4 (El Capitan)

same problem, cannot sync. I bought some DAO tokens like many people.

on the Github HP, it says,

If you still have the "Invalid Date" error or is stuck at "Waiting for blocks" for a long period of time, then you might have a corrupted database and might need to sync it again. Go to your Ethereum folder (access it via accounts > backup > accounts), delete (or simply rename) the folder chain data and start the app again.

my questions:

1. how do i delete the watch token ???

2. where exactly is the folder chain data ? should i use the terminal to do that ?

3. i have already some version of geth on my Mac. How do i update it with brew ?

the instructions on github only explain to do an install from zero.
should i erase everything and reinstall or is there some other way? how about the keystore files in that process ? and about the passwords ?

thank you

The chaindata-folder is located under ~/Library/Ethereum/please delete this one as you seem to have a corrupted chain-replica geth is not able to recover. (as answered to you on this thread #636)

As for 1. and 2. I answer you on this thread #616.

I will close this for now.

You might want to unwatch (delete) "The DAO"-Contract for now.

how do we unwatch it please ? whats the command on geth ?

@FaguiCurtain hover over the token and click on the trash-bin-symbol.

luclu, i've updated to 0.7.4 and reinstalled GETH on my MacOS
I deleted the chaindata, and restarted it.
now my wallet is stuck at block 1,464,740 and i saw a popup from my AV software (AVAST) telling me something is corrupted with geth, and looks like some files have been quarantined.

here is the log when i restarted and launched geth
