Same here...I have a cricut create and a cricut cake and since the new update my gypsy is not working!!! The worst part is I am supposed to cut the decorations for a Halloween party for the kids in my church and I can't cut anything.... please HELP!!!

I don't know if this will help anyone here, but after seriously a year of not using my E2, I got a person at PC who had a remarkably easy fix to the connection issue that I had suffered with between my Gypsy and E2. My issue was, it would start cutting and then after a few seconds, I would get the "lost connection, please restart your Cricut......" error. I tried new cables, plugged into power, turn around 3x and blink your eyes...blah blah blah. Finally bought a Cricut Cake from Costco on clearance for $59 to use and sadly walked away from a very expensive piece of nothing....Then this week, I decided to sell it on CL to someone who didn't need to use it with a Gypsy (that's just my preferred way ), but before I did I called PC ONE LAST TIME, and got the sweetest woman, who had the SAME PROBLEM with her own E2!! So, here's the simple answer, I wanted to scream when she told me. I had been loading my mat from my Gypsy. She said load it from your Cricut instead. There you go. THAT'S IT!! Problem solved. Mystery over. I didn't use it for a YEAR, and it took one simple change. I've been cutting non-stop for over a week!!! Now my Gypsy will probably develop that Black screen of death and I'll have another issue, but for today....life is GOOD. I had called numerous times before and checked here and googled it, to no avail. I really hope that this helps someone else :)
