Please also respect that this is a forum and all communication should be made on the forum so we can all have a chance to see what's been suggested so far and view the solution if someone comes up with it. Otherwise you'll end up with dozens of emails asking questions you've already answered and making the same suggestions to fix it. |

Also, please try browsing or doing a "search" for some of the other posts on the same subject, as much of what we can suggest has been typed out many, many times before.
This section and the beginners GPS Lounge are the best two places to look.
Once you've tried a few things, report back with some results and we can hopefully get to a solution quicker. |

Presumably TomTom "Home" is starting, and that is what you used to try the update?
When you connect to the PC, does the TomTom screen ask if you want to connect to the computer?
If so, do it and then SHUT DOWN Home if it runs.
Open Windows Explorer. Can you see the TomTom as a new hard drive?
If so, open it and tell us what you see. |

Good.
My next suggestion would be:
1. make a backup copy NOW by following the instructions HERE
2. Follow these instructions from TomTom:
Quote: | After the backup is made you delete the files from the root directory of the TomTom. Follow the steps below to do this:
1. Reset your TomTom device: (instructions at http://www.tomtom.com/6965) and connect it to your computer.
2. Open My Computer in Windows, or Finder in Macintosh from your desktop and turn on your TomTom device.
3. On your screen a new removable disk appears, this is your TomTom device, click on the disk to open it.
4. You will see a list of folders and a list of loose files
5. Delete all of the loose files. IMPORTANT: The folders with their content must NOT be deleted.
5. Close the window when all files are deleted by clicking on the [x].
Next we will reinstall the application via TomTom HOME.
1. Start TomTom HOME on your computer
TomTom Home should automatically check for updates and prompt you to install them, if not:-
2. Click Install to TomTom.
3. Select the Application update.
4. Click on 'Device - Disconnect Device', then turn off your device when it is done installing and disconnect it from your computer. |
