GO 800 / 1000 / 2000 / Via / Start 20 and 60 Series (MyTomTom)

I have a Go 2505 and when I connect to My Tom Tom, I get a message that there is a download waiting for me and eventually, it tells me that the download is something called "Version 12.035".  I select the itemn & click on the download button but nothing seems to happen.  The next time I connect to My Tom Tom, I get the exact same messageLooking at "About my device" on the untiu, it appears that I am running version 11.037.920860.74 and my Map version is v890.4221.  What is the proper procedure for downloading V12.035?

- Try to disable your antivirus and firewall, use Firefox (or Opera, or Google Chrome), and make sure that your computer is not going into stand-by or similar.
- Clear the cache before each update attempt. Also could do a soft reset before and after the update.
- Make sure you have the latest Adobe Flash Player and Java installed.
- Make sure you have all the latest updates and hotfixes/patches to your OS.
- In case the device looks like hung during the update or the counter stopped, just leave it. It will be fine in a few minutes.
- Check your network connections, make sure that the TT's network adapter is enabled
- Try to uninstall and re-install the MyTomTom application
- Try to use a USB port on the mainboard, rather than a USB hub (desktop PC)

- In case it is not working with Firefox, try other browsers (Opera, Google Chrome)

- Any further issue: Try it on another PC, try it with different USB lead...the shorter the better (below steps are Windows specific)
- Whilst the device connected, remove the drivers from the Device Manager (Windows/Control Panel), DELETE the drivers
- Remove the MyTomTom application and run CCLEANER (will remove your history, cookies, etc by default)

Tried all of those ideas but still no luck...

Try to change the internet port number in the myTomTom application:

• Close the internet browser;
• Click on the myTomTom icon in the system tray;
• Go to settings;
• Click on the tab connections;
• Click in the field with the number 4000;
• Change the number to 4001 or 5000;
• Click on save settings;
• The myTomTom application will close and restart automaticly;

Thanks for getting me thinking onin the right direction.  It turned out that I was making two errors when I attempted to download the update:

1) I was trying to perform the download usinog Safari and Chrome instead of the latest version of Firefox

2) I needed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player in Firefox from:  http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

After I used those changes, I was able to perform the download and install without any further difficulty
