How to fix the Google Chrome “update server not available (error: 11)” problem.

sudo rm -r /Library/Google
sudo rm -r ~/Library/Google


I suppose it’s a versioning problem, there are still old config (plist) files present on the system. By removing these, and others, Chrome can reconnect to the proper server again.

Note: I’m just using the Chrome product of Google, so you could remove more configs than required for Chrome.

Update (13 oct 2011): So like Kris states (comment) there is an even better solution. Unfortunately for me the proposed fix never worked, the required scripts to run were not on my system.
