my TomTom XL IQ routes keeps disconnecting from PC while trying to backup
am trying to backup and then install latest software on my device as its been a while and i have teh time always reads 12:00 thing going on.
installed latest TomTom Home 2 as listed for my device
connect device
switch on device via power button
tell device to connect = OK
device connects + tomtom home recognises it
click backup device - backup starts oK
backup progress arrow gets around halfway complete and then error message
device has disconnected - reconnect device ( screen on device is still on - battery is fine )
or
scanning files for backup/restore error
via PC with windows 10 latest 64bit, Chrome browser latest

OK cheers, will try that
then try updating using Home 2 i guess ?
is that any more reliable?
Once copied just do updates then do a back up copy again. I have my original out of the box 2008 copy on my computer.
didn't expect this buggy random crap from a big name - but I guess that just teh way of things these days. ho-hum!
any ideas ?
the little flashing symbol in the bottom left of the TomTom screen stops around 60% of the way through in both cases ....
thanks
tried cable = no difference
PC not so easy - must be some kind of windows 10 security thing maybe or i dunno what ?
thanks again - will try that - it does seem to disconnect at the same point each time so would fit with a power-saving timer - will try that first
