Trying to update nav before updating map etc., on a Start 50/5 but screen on gps just gets stuck at ""Updating - do not disconnect device"
Then in MyDriveConnect unit disappears and MDC says, unit not connected. Or something with servers overloaded.
I tried resetting gps, deleting MDC and reinstalling but that didnt do anything.
Pls help

Hi
@ThomasDK
Welcome to the site....
If I have a problem 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...

Hi, my START 20 ( AYxxxxxxx88) when i want to upgrade says that the service is temporarily unavailable ,and try again later for the last 3 days.
What´s the problem ?
Mod edit: Please don't post private or personal information on a public forum. Thanks!0 -
Device is reconised on My Drive Connect but will not accept any updates0

It didnt help.
Its weird. I connect the gps and gps says connected to computer on the screen.
Then, when I start update, MDC says that unit doesnt respond and a few minutes after MDC promts that servers are very busy.
I really dont get that updating a frigging TomTom gps in 2021 could be this kind of a hassle!!0 -
I'm experiencing similar to other members where the software updates won't complete via Mydrive Connect. See a message every time that server is busy, try again later. This has been like this for days and retry doesn't work.
I have tried all the advice on the forum including uninstalling/reinstalling several times, shut down/re-start but still the same issue.
Has anyone been able to get past this issue and can offer other options to try? Device is Start 25.
thanks in advance,0 -
I've been trying for a day now to update my 1515M TomTom but no luck. I've tried deleting and reinstalling MyDRive. I get 2 errors.
Something has gone wrong... I get that on the device and select continue.
MyDrive shows my device connected but when I try to update it gets stuck with "Waiting for Device" and will not update and then a message "Device Is Not Responding". Never had a problem like this before.
I guess I'll use it for a while with out of date maps and then throw it away! Not much point in getting free lifetime maps if it can't be updated. I'll try another brand next time.0 -
Hi, I'm trying to upgrade my TomTom 1535 with the latest maps, all goes well until it starts downloading from the Mac computer to my TomTom 1535 GPS. I keep getting the message on the GPS "Something has gone wrong....This service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later". The TomTom My Drive recognise the GPS but when it time to load up the new maps it states the above. Have restarted and replugged the device to no avail.
can any one help?

Could it be because there isnt enough memory on the GPS?0
-
Installed a 16GB memorycard. Didnt do anything. MDC says there is 0 bytes memory on device and nothing on memorycard. What the hell is wrong with TomTom software???0

I finally got my updates installed. Earlier this month I tried to do the updates and could not get past "device not responding". I just got back from a long trip using my Tom Tom. When I started it up in my car, even though I had charged it overnight using a usb charger it kept telling me the battery was charging. That message went away after several hours of driving. When I got home today I tried doing the update and it worked. Was my device not fully charged when I tried to do the update before? And why does it have to be fully charged for an update to work.0
