I've been trying to update my TomTom for 4 days (always at different times), but I get the message: servers are currently very busy.
What can I do to update?

Hi
@sasin
Welcome to the site....I have been trying to update my TomTom for 4 days (always at different times), but I get the message: servers are currently very busy.
What can I do to update?
Disconnect your Tomtom device....
(Do not Reconnect your device until instructed)
Logout of MyDrive Connect....
From the Power menu 'Restart' your PC (NOT Turn it Off 'n' On again)....
Run MyDrive Connect....
Login to MyDrive Connect... Connect & Start your device....
____________________________
Important....
NEVER have a Tomtom device connected to your PC when....
(1)... Installing MyDrive Connect (Including Uninstalling & Reinstalling MyDrive Connect)
(2)... Updating the MyDrive Connect program
(3)... Modifying MyDrive Connect (i.e... Deleting the Home3 and the MyDrive Connect folders as in the workaround shown below)
Having your device connected can have an adverse effect on the USB Driver install….
____________________________
If you are still having problems with MyDrive Connect... I find deleting the "HOME3" and the "MyDrive Connect" folders in the MyDrive Connect Program will usually bring MyDrive Connect back to life...

Thank you for your response. After removing the 2 mentioned folders, it does it.
