I am receiving the following error message when attempting to connect to my running TWS:

Socket connected to TWS. Sending client version: 62. Waiting for acceptance. | 2013-08-15 07:52:38
TWS server version: 67 | 2013-08-15 07:52:38
The TWS server version must be at least 68 for Sierra Chart to connect. | 2013-08-15 07:52:38
Error connecting to Data or Trading service. For help with this issue, press the Send For Analysis button on this window. | 2013-08-15 07:52:38

The message is pretty clear in stating that my TWS version is 67 but should be 68 .. HOWEVER, I am running the latest versions available on the IB website ... My TWS is on my Mac OSX 10.8 machine and the latest stable release is build 936.9 and I even tried the pre-release build 938.1 and still get this error.

I will also contact IB but it appears SC is one step ahead of what IB is making available to their customers ......

Thanks!!!!

You need TWS version 9392 or higher. We see that is not available as a standalone version for the Mac. We had not realized that. You should be able to use the browser based version as an alternative for now:

I have tried the browser based version and it does connect.

However, after some time of success, I get the following error and must shut everything down and restart to get things working again. This has happened twice so far this afternoon:
