edited January 2019 in Devices using TomTom HOME
I am attempting to connect my Go Live 950 to my laptop and the TT website is recognizing my device, however my TT Home 2.0 software is not. I uninstalled all TT software and reinstalled it and still no response.

The returned failure code is: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsiProperties.get]. Report incident ID: 174753523

I trawled the web looking for answers however nothing is coming up. Does anyone have any suggestions otherthan throwing it out the window please?

Many thanks in advance.

Bradley

    Hi

    A quick Google reports Error 0x80004005 denotes "Access denied".

    Best ask this in the right section: http://discussions.tomtom.com/t5/GO-x00-x10-x20-x30-x40-x50-HOME/bd-p/tomtom_go

    The 950 uses the older (and better) 'Home' software to interface your PC and Satnav.

    Devices in this section use the inferior 'MyDrive' software.

    I'm giving you some of the links I have saved; they may or not help you since are not specifically for your problem, but it's worth trying!

    FAQ - TomTom HOME installation issues

    Run TTH in compatibility mode

    You may try to start from scratch again; please note that I'm running Seven, if you are on an older O.S. you may need to change the paths and/or the env variables that I have used! If UAC is enabled, you must do everything with the "Run as administrator" option!
    1. make a backup of your data somewhere (i.e. a folder on your Desktop or an external disk)
    • open TTH, select menu ToolsHome preferences, then tab Folders, copy the text from Backups (actually you will not need the last folder named Backup)

    • close TTH
    • open Explorer and paste the copied path into the location, go back to the folder named TomTom; you should get something like this (ignore my Italian UI :D )
      39734i1264A2EA76E65EB9.png
    • copy that HOME folder somewhere (it my be quite big, depends on the map/backup! Mine is almost 6gb)
    • now delete the HOME folder!
    Uninstall TTH completely, give a run with a registry cleaner (I use CCleaner but there are many!)

    Now delete any leftover, TTH uses two folders inside your profile: %APPDATA%TomTom and %LOCALAPPDATA%TomTom. Open both in Explorer (again do a copy&paste), each one has a HOME subfolder that you must delete.

    Just in case, search and delete any TomT*.msi and any *.mst left! The folder you have to look for is %LOCALAPPDATA%Downloaded Installations{A3B6F29D-8B63-4455-9B0F-F4E6F86D22F6} (and here you'll find info about restoring the default permissions for that folder)

    Reboot your pc and reinstall a fresh TTH downloaded from http://download.tomtom.com/sweet/application/home2latest/TomTomHOME2winlatest.exe

    Hi bradley1000,

    Welcome to the forum!

    Sorry to hear you're having issues with the usage of TomTom HOME. Your error refers to the fact that TomTom HOME cannot find/access all files/folders to function properly. You may resolve this issue by simple manually creating the folders for TomTom HOME. This is what you do:

    Windows: Delete the TomTom folder in Application Data
    1. Go to Start > Run. (Windows Key+R)
    2. Write: %appdata%
    3. Delete the TomTom folder from here. 
    Windows:
    1. Go to Documents
    2. Create a folder called TomTom
    3. Inside the TomTom folder, create the folder HOME[/i]
    4. Inside the HOME[/i] folder, create the following four folders:
      1. Download
      2. Backup
      3. FromDevice
      4. Sharing
    Once completed, open TomTom HOME. [/i]This should now work as expected.

    Hope this helps you in fixing TomTom HOME on your laptop.

    Regards,

    Wesley
