Here are some tips and tricks from the forum, with my own additions and support FAQs to help people with issues updating their devices.
First, MyDrive Connect is not to be mixed up with MyDrive.
There are some specific things to consider regarding the device model you have as well as the operating system of your computer and I will mention these when applicable. Most of the advise below, however, applies to all devices connecting to MyDrive Connect on all supported operating systems.
[h2]Main differences to TomTom HOME[/h2]
For those users migrating from a device connecting TomTom HOME to a device connecting to MyDrive Connect, there are a couple of things I'd like to note. Which models are updated with which software can be checked here [support FAQ - Which TomTom software?].
For more information click the spoiler.
Below are some of the most common symptoms you might see in connection/updating issues:
[h3]MyDrive Connect starts up when my computer starts[/h3]
This is default behaviour. You can change this in MyDrive Connect Settings.
For more information click the spoiler.
[h3]MyDrive Connect error messages[/h3]
The error messages MyDrive Connect gives when things don't go smoothly, unfortunately, are not always very informative as the software doesn't have any analytic capabilities to tell you what actually went wrong. Especially, the Rush hour... message can be caused by various scenarios and I'd recommend going through all the steps below (if needed), if you're receiving this error.
The most common error message states Something has gone wrong. It might even say there's something wrong with your device, but as explained below the issue rarely is with the device itself.
For more information, click the spoiler.

[h3]Download/installation slow/getting stuck[/h3]
The first thing to note is that any durations given anywhere (in MyDrive Connect or on device) are estimations based on the current data transfer speed. As data transfer through internet and locally is always somewhat unstable - you might see some fluctuations and/or dyssyncrony in these estimations.
Sometimes an update appears to be stuck in MyDrive connect. This does not always indicate a problem. Sometimes it just has difficulty calculating the remaining time needed to complete the update, especially for Mapshare this is common.
For more information click the spoiler.
[h3]Full memory[/h3]
As the maps and software are developed and gain content and features they also tend to grow in size. This might result in the internal memory of your device running out and not able to accommodate the latest updates.
The quickest way to free up some space on your device is to remove some of the voices you don't use, especially the computer voices in other languages. You can do this with MyDrive Connect in the My Voices - Other languages section. For more information, please see here.

[h3](Mac only) Admin password requested and MyDrive Connect stuck on "Connecting..."[/h3]
On Mac OSX Sierra (10.12) you might get requested the admin password if you wake your computer from sleep mode while your TomTom device was connected to it. Simply enter the password to continue updating your device. Restarting your computer also solves this.
For more information about this, please see this FAQ.
[h3]Device not connecting/recognised[/h3]
These issues usually have to do with internet connection, device driver or compatibility. Please, see the corresponding troubleshooting sections below.
[h2]Troubleshooting tips[/h2]
I'll start with the simplest procedures and move on to more advanced ones.
The first thing to do in any problem situations with your device is to do a soft reset (also known as drum roll reset) by holding down the power button for ca 20 sec or until you hear a drumming sound(I'm repeating myself, I know). Before moving on also make sure you have the latest version of MyDrive Connect installed [support FAQ Latest MyDrive].
The tips provided here are largely based on a breakdown of/elaboration on the rather comprehensive list provided by user Lars. I'm not going to go through each of his 19 points but focus on the most essential ones.
General instructions can also be found in this FAQ [support FAQ Navigation device not connecting to computer (MyDrive Connect)].
[h3]Compatibility[/h3]
The compatibility requirements for MyDrive Connect are listed here [support FAQ MyDrive compatibility].
For more information click the spoiler.
[h3]Internet connection[/h3]
Various issues doing with internet connection are the most common cause for problems. General guidelines for internet connections can be found here [support FAQ recommendations for internet connections].
For more information click the spoiler.
Important! USB cable should always be connected straight from the device to the computer. Note, that if you're using a windscreen mount that enables charging (e.g. with GO 500/600/5000/6000 devices) you can connect to computer through the windscreen mount for charging but not data connection.
If you're using Windows 10, please see first the Compatibility section above.
As devices connecting to MyDrive are recognized as Network devices, all data between the device and your computer also goes through the internet security software. To get this far, however, your computer needs to find the device and install a driver for it.
For more information click the spoiler.
Installing MyDrive Connect is instructed here [support FAQ - How to install MyDrive Connect] on all supported platforms. There are a couple of situations where certain steps needs to be taken to successfully install MyDrive Connect.
[h3]Driver issues[/h3]
Should the re-installation of drivers not solve your issue, you might try a fresh installation of MyDrive Connect and the driver.
Some more advanced driver troubleshooting on Windows 8.1 can be found here. Please note, that troubleshooting provided by other users on the forum is not supported by TomTom but you will follow it at your own risk.
[h3]Using SD card[/h3]
When using an SD card to install to install maps your device or MyDrive Connect may not recognise the SD card. First you might check the excellent tips posted by user Niall

Unlike the older generation devices, the devices connecting to MyDrive Connect won't show up as mass storage devices on your computer but only as a Network Adapter.
Also devices connecting to MyDrive Connect no longer ask if you want to connect to the computer. When your navigation device is connected to the computer, the device will show a "Connected to computer" text.
While your device is connected to your computer, you can use it normally. When an installation is in progress, a text warning not to disconnect appears on the screen with a progress circle.

First do a soft reset (also known as drum roll reset) by holding down the power button for ca 20 sec or until you hear a drumming sound. You can also reinitialize the connection between your device and MyDrive Connect by clicking the MyDrive Connect icon 
or 
in the Windows notification area (in Win 8 in Desktop view) or the Mac menu bar 
and choose Settings - Save settings. Settings can also be accessed by clicking the country flag in the top right corner of the MyDrive Connect window.
Data transfer error is a bit more informative and refers to a problem in the communication between the device and the MyDrive Connect. This error also shows a exclamation mark on the MyDrive Connect icon or in the Windows notification area (in Win 8 in Desktop view) or the Mac menu bar and choose Settings - Save settings. Settings can also be accessed by clicking the country flag in the top right corner of the MyDrive Connect window.For more information, click the spoiler.
Reinstalling the device driver usually fixes this (see Connecting to computer below). As explained below, this might also have to do with antivirus or firewall settings. However, it might also be caused by corrupt data in the MyDrive Connect cache (which again might be cause by interference in your internet connection, see below). You can clear the cache by clicking the MyDrive Connect icon in the Windows notification area (in Win 8 in Desktop view) or the Mac menu bar and choose Settings - Downloads - Empty Empty download folder - Save settings. The following video helps you with changing settings:
[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdDQ0--E8-Q[/video]
Sometimes a manual clearing of cache is needed (e.g. if the Settings button is grayed out):
- Close MyDrive Connect by clicking the MyDrive Connect icon in the Windows notification area (in Win 8 in Desktop view) and choosing Exit
- Remove the HOME 3 folder at
XP: C:/Documents and Settings/Local Settings/Application Data/TomTom
VISTA/7/8: C:/Users/Username/AppData/Local Settings/TomTom
10: C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\TomTom
Mac: /Users/Library/Application Support and /Users/Library/Caches/ [to see Library press alt/option on your keyboard]
This error might also be cause by a driver issue. Please, see below.
MSVCP100.dll missing is an error message you might get when upgrading a Windows OS to a newer version (for instance Win 7 to 8, or 8.1 to 10). You can find more information about this issue here [Microsoft.com].[video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdDQ0--E8-Q[/video]

Sometimes an update appears to be stuck in MyDrive connect. This does not always indicate a problem. Sometimes it just has difficulty calculating the remaining time needed to complete the update, especially for Mapshare this is common.
For more information click the spoiler.
If you want to check if MyDrive Connect is actually doing something or if its completely stalled, you can use the Windows Resource Monitor or Mac OSX Activity Monitor to check if there is any activity. Please note that this only works in Windows Vista, 7 and 8. For Mac instructions, please see here (Thanks, Will!).
To access Windows Resource Monitor:
Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete)
Go to the Performance tab
Click on Resource Monitor in the bottom right corner
You now get an overview of all activity in the computer, including CPU Usage, Memory usage, Disk activity and Network activity. Your device is seen as a network device under the Network tab
If you sort by Total (B/sec) during an update you will see the following:
As you can see, the MyDriveConnect.exe process has a LOT MORE network activity than any other process and it will appear to be fluctuating as well, this means that there currently is a lot of data transfer between MyDrive Connect and your device which indicates it is still busy.
Best not interrupt this, just let it run its course and don't troubleshoot this unless an actual error occurs and it actually stops.

[h3]Full memory[/h3]
As the maps and software are developed and gain content and features they also tend to grow in size. This might result in the internal memory of your device running out and not able to accommodate the latest updates.
The quickest way to free up some space on your device is to remove some of the voices you don't use, especially the computer voices in other languages. You can do this with MyDrive Connect in the My Voices - Other languages section. For more information, please see here.
Click the spoiler for more information.
If you run into this situation when updating a map, a Content Wizard will pop up allowing you to choose which items to install and where. If you have a memory card in your device you can install (only) the map there.
Otherwise go ahead with the map installation by clicking Continue and you'll be offered a choice between smaller maps (if available) with a regional or no 3D buildings. For more information about installing maps, please see here.
You can also free some space in the internal memory by factory resetting your device. This removes the MapShare corrections from your device and can free up to 400 MB of memory. To factor reset your device by choosing Settings (cog wheel) - System - Reset - Reset. Please note, that this will delete your personal information, e.g. My Places. You can save and restore them with MyDrive (requires at least software v15.101).

[h3]Compatibility[/h3]
The compatibility requirements for MyDrive Connect are listed here [support FAQ MyDrive compatibility].
For more information click the spoiler.
Windows 10 is supported as of version 4.0.4.2260.
For Windows 10 specific troubleshooting advise, please see this FAQ.
Please note, that Windows XP is no longer supported and with Vista and Mac OSX 10.6 you may run into issues we can no longer solve. Furthermore, the v16.60x software release brought some changes with the driver compatibility for Vista and XP. Please, see here [supprt FAQ - MyDrive Connect update for Windows Vista and XP] for more information.
Regarding Windows XP, please see this post. On XP, also please make sure you've installed all available Windows updates, especially .NET Framework.
With OSX 10.7.5 and later Apple introduced Gatekeeper, a program which checks if the application was approved on the iTunes webshop. The Gatekeeper might prevent you from installing MyTomTom. Please, contact Apple for more information about the Gatekeeper.
While Microsoft Surface Pro tablets are not supported some users have managed to get MyDrive Connect working on them.

Various issues doing with internet connection are the most common cause for problems. General guidelines for internet connections can be found here [support FAQ recommendations for internet connections].
For more information click the spoiler.
In short, direct wired connections are preferred over wireless or proxy connections. 3G and 4G connections are especially vulnerable to interference.
Also business networks are often too strictly secured to allow MyDrive Connect to connect to the TomTom server and/or to the device (also a network connection) and the settings are usually beyond the users reach, however your system admin may be able to assist you.
Firewall and antivirus programs may also prevent successful connection, occasionally even between the device and MyDrive Connect. For some more specific tips about configuring firewall programs and routers, please see the posts below. Generally the settings should allow MyDriveConnect.exe ("MyDriveConnect.app" on Mac) full access to internet (in fact, tweaking these settings is rarely needed so try everything else first, before touching these settings). On some firewall programs you might have the possibility to set the TomTom network device as a trusted network. Please note, that for any firewall/antivirus program re-configuration to have an effect MyDrive Connect needs to be restarted.

As devices connecting to MyDrive are recognized as Network devices, all data between the device and your computer also goes through the internet security software. To get this far, however, your computer needs to find the device and install a driver for it.
For more information click the spoiler.
You can confirm that this has happened and reinstall the driver if needed as follows:
- Go to the Device Manager
XP/Vista/7: Click Start and right-click (My) Computer - choose Manage - Device Manager
Windows 8*: Press Windows logo key +X to open the Quick Link menu and click on Device Manager.
Windows 10: Use search to find the Device Manager
Mac: Click the Apple menu and choose System Prefereces - Internet & Connection Network. You'll see the network service for your navigation device in the left hand pane.
- Locate your device listed as a Network Adapter
If you do not see your device listed, click on the icon on the left of Universal Serial Bus Controllers. The device will show up as an unknown device or as a mass storage device. To determine which is the correct device, you can disconnect the device and the respective icon should disappear.
- Right-click the device and choose Uninstall
(- Restarting your computer is recommended at this point)
- Once the driver is uninstalled, soft reset (a.k.a drum roll reset) your device, while connected, by holding down the power button until you hear a drumming sound (ca 20 sec).
- The driver will now be reinstalled.
If this fails you see a message on the screen saying that the installation failed, you can install the driver manually in the Device Manager. Right click on the device and click on Install driver manually and then choose Browse my computer for driver software.
Browse to "C:/Program Files/MyDrive Connect/DriverINF" and the driver will install (on 64 bit computers the path is "C:/Program Files(x86)/MyDrive Connect/Driver/INF").
Should your computer still not recognize your device, try another USB port (preferably straight, not a hub), another USB cable, and if possible, another computer. Also check whether your device is showing the "Connected to computer" message. Failing all this, you're most likely experiencing a hardware issue and should contact Customer Service for further assistance.

When using an SD card to install to install maps your device or MyDrive Connect may not recognise the SD card. First you might check the excellent tips posted by user Niall
Click the spoiler for more information.
When you insert an SD card into your device it should prompt to format it. Should this not happen, or MyDrive Connect doesn't recognise the card after it's been formatted, you can do the following (try again in between the steps):
I hope this helps.- Make sure the device is not connected to a computer.
- Reset your device (with the card in it) by pressing and holding down the power button until you hear a drumming sound(ca 15 sec).
- Insert the card into your computer's card reader and format it (no quick format) to FAT32 (on Mac MS-DOS filesystem).
- Make sure the card is of a known brand and reasonably high speed (preferably Class 10).
- Make sure the card is properly inserted into the device. It needs to make a clicking sound when inserted.

Thanks for sharing your tip! I'll add it to the FAQ.
Cheers, Mikko
I would expect Tom Tom to fix this problem. Thank you.
P.S. The only change to my computer - software and hardware - was, in July/August, I upgraded/installed Microsoft's Windows Home 64 bit OS - after that successful OS upgrade, Tom Tom's MyDrive downloading and installing has failed to work
Update: Just tried again and deselected all downloads except for the new version of device software - the files actually downloaded and installed to the device. IT'S A MIRACLE! I will post more if there are continued problems.
Welcome to the forum!
This issue is addressed in the FAQ above. The last software update also addressed this issue but was unfortunately not able to fix it for all customers. We'll continue to work on finding a solution to this issue.
However, according to our logs MapShare last failed on your device a few weeks ago and you have indeed successfully installed it today
Cheers, Mikko
Good news for me - all is working again
Thanks

Can you help with my Rider? I am trying to install an update on my Mac OSX 10.11.3 through My Drive Connect, however the device disconnects just before the end. I have unplugged and plugged back in a dozen times, restarted both devices and used different cables, all without success. Can you help? All assistance gratefully received!
I have tried two different computers. Wireless and wired connections. Both OSX. They keep failing.
I have previously managed to update without the maps, but now, having selected all the items it keeps failing.
Is this fixable? I need to sort this today or get a different device as I'm on holiday from friday evening.

But it isn't wise to use a wireless connected computer. Anyway, make the call............Also, try downloading one update at a time, including individual speed camera files if relevant.

Does anyone have some advice on this?
Thanks for the heads-up about the broken link! A few of them seem to be still pointing at the old forum. I fixed the Comodo one already and will check the rest soon as well.
Cheers, Mikko
I have also found that there is no compatibility with the Mac's "dark mode", which changes the menu bar background to black. I find that this mode greatly improves the visibility of most menu bar items, but the TomTom logo does not invert when in this mode, so becomes entirely invisible. I am aware that there are other 3rd party apps that suffer from this, but there are plenty that don't, so I feel that TomTom need to have a close look at their icon definitions!
Thanks for your feedback!
Please note, that you can plan routes also online with MyDrive and sync them to your device. For more information and troubleshooting tips for MyDrive, please see this FAQ.

As this is a user forum you will need to contact Customer Services to sort this out

I'd recommend you to factory reset your device by choosing Settings (cog wheel) - System - Reset - Reset. Please note, that this will delete your personal information, e.g. My Places and destination prediction data. You can save and restore My Places with MyDrive.
Cheers, Mikko
In that case I'd recommend you to contact Customer Service. They can check in the backend what's going on and help you sort it out
