I'm getting a huge nuissance:

When trying to access webpages. Some are "protected" by captcha, the page loads and once I click that I'm not a robot, it triers to load the captcha. But then I'm getting this. "... google.com says"..."Cannot contact reCAPTCHA. Check your connection and try again." Trying again doesn't help but at times the captcha does show up.
Help FAQ give no answer (of course they don't...).

This is a stupid nuissance and Google needs to fix this ASAP.
It's not a protection, it's putting people off. It's a f**ing nuissance- thanx to Google!

Fix it Google or there'll be a Twitter hashtag #GoogleNuissance.
Or does Google have no shame anymore after avoiding to pay tax in many countries using cheap accounting tricks- so they can keep annoying people.

Why don't these guys realise what captcha does when it doesn't work? Communist leaders also didn't understand what their decisions did to the people.

So Google: remove it. NOW!

I have started seeing this error as well - however it is for just 1 user (out of 40) and only in chrome, a temporary fix is for us to use another browser - do you really want us to go away from using your own browser?

I have the same problem. I took three months waiting for google and can not solve it.

I can not buy, or get into some of my accounts.
I'm pretty tired.
Google , resolve this. It can not be you're as vague.

Same problem, started yesterday. On all sites with this thing.
Google's services are generally very unreliable. I heard from many people they can't download certain files hosted on my sites.google.com site.

Oh, it actually works now! Been down for a day or so. Same as with files on my site which become inaccessible for a period of time for some people.

I am also getting this problem now, I have not had problems in the past. I think it may be some kind of caching issue, however when I clear my cache, close the browser & reboot my laptop the problem does not go away. I have several websites some fairly basic html/php and also a wordpress site that uses the contact from 7. They were all working for me until I did a bit of updating on one of the sites. When I tested the form I got the error 'Cannot contact reCAPTCHA. Check your connection and try again'. The developer console shows an error 400 to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/frame?. For me the problem happens in Chrome and Firefox but not in IE. It is not just happening on the website that I was updating but all my websites that use recaptcha, which I have not changed.. I have other devices that that work successfully with chrome.

On my problem laptop I have been able to use recaptcha successfully on a site that I do not own. I hope this helps if someone is looking into the problem.

Yeah this is a load of crap, I'm having it happen constantly and it's blocking access to all sorts of things I need access to. Like what a fucking joke, I don't need some automated Captcha, I can answer questions if you want, but fuck off for telling me that you can't contant reCaptcha... I have a GREAT internet connection. This is NOT on my end. Figure this shit out! If you're going to create a fucking lock, make sure it doesn't randomly not accept keys. Fucking pricks.

Just try for the alternative way, you may not use the google's browser or don't use the google device, just try the other browser like internet explorer etc or use microsoft pc with firefox , to enter the web you want..

Same Issue - only for me - it was embedded in my Quicken program update. Now I cannot log into my Quicken (for past 6 months) because this thing does not work correctly. I try to check the images and it times out within milliseconds and never checks anything - I just get new pictures. Hundreds of hours on phone with Quicken Tech Support and they say it is not their program and they did not include it. Doesn't matter which browser is installed on my computer. I'm not using a browser when trying to open my Quicken. I HATE THIS reCAPTCHA THING and want it off my computer. Anyone know how to do that? Only thing I have of Google on my computer is Google Earth - but maybe I need to delete that also. I am frustrated beyond words!

OK - STILL NOT WORKING - WTF!!!!!!!!!!!! IS ANYBODY LISTENING - Like a programmer or developer of this stupid widget! The stupid thing works on other websites and other programs that have deployed it - just not in Quicken. It won't allow me to sign in to the program. I am over a year now not able to access my records or do my bookkeeping.

I know - how about a law suit. That should solve all my problems!

I'm also getting this recaptcha nuisance. What the heck, ain't here any concerned developer of staff from Google listening to all users' issues?
Is is a reason because my blog  techjhola.comis hosted on blogger?

Hell All,

Did someone of you all realize what is the problem with Recaptcha v.2 yet. Of course we can find another computer to solve captcha, but is it serious enough?

Thank you

Guys,

From my point of view the problem is no in Recapcha, but in Chrome browser. With Firefox there is no:
Capcha error
no connection etc.
In Firefox the load is fast, no endless selection and always run - I tried it in Firefox more than  handred times and there were no any problems - it is faster than other capcha's. Probably we address our compaints not to the right people.

Похоже проблему у многих и  Google не собирается ее решать, на многочисленные запросы они тупо молчат,не сервис, а какой то хлам((((

Я получаю огромное нюансы:

при попытке доступа к веб-страницам. Некоторые из них «защищены» по капчу, страница загружается, и как только я нажимаю на нее, я не робот, это трир для загрузки captcha. Но потом я получаю это. «... google.com говорит« ... »Не могу связаться с reCAPTCHA. Проверьте свое соединение и повторите попытку». Повторное повторение не помогает, но время от времени появляется подсказка.
Справка FAQ не дает ответа (конечно, они не ...).

Это глупое нюанс, и Google необходимо исправить это как можно скорее.
Это не защита, это отводит людей. Это приложение nuissance-thanx для Google!

Исправьте его Google или там будет хэштаг Twitter #GoogleNuissance.
Или Google больше не стыдится, избегая уплаты налогов во многих странах, используя дешевые трюки для бухгалтерского учета, поэтому они могут продолжать раздражать людей.

Почему эти ребята не понимают, что делает captcha, когда это не работает? Коммунистические лидеры также не понимали, что их решения сделали с народом.

Поэтому Google: удалите его. ТЕПЕРЬ!

I have this issue but have found a "work around".  I log in or go to the site from my iphone and click the captcha "im not a robot" radio button (which passes the test).  Then i go back to laptop and visit the site and it works or doesn't ask.  So, somehow the problem seems to be my computer, and an attachment to IP location address(though i don't know very much about networks).
hope it helps for today....
