Garmin sync crashing browser

posted 4 months ago | Report

Every time I try to sync my Garmin (previously worked fine), it syncs to 50% and then freezes. If I try to navagate away from the page I get the mac "rainbow pie of death" and I have to force quit out of firefox.

I have the latest version of firefox and I'm running on Lion.

Anyone else having this issue?

I also have to restart in 32-bit mode, whatever that means... (That seems to be new too?)

    I had that issue, too. The garmin communicator plug in doesn't play well with the latest firefox. So it wants it to restart and, more or less, pretend it's an older version. I always got spinning wheel death, though. It worked a little better with Safari & Chrome, but never consistently - always got fudged up eventually. Unless Garmin updates or changes the plug-in to work better with mac or 64-bit browsers, I don't know if there is an easy fix. Others might know of a work-around. Sorry I can't offer help beyond 'it's not just you'. :)

    Thanks Pete! I thought my Garmin was crapping out on me...

    That helped with Garmin's Connect site, thanks Pete! (But DM is still crashing and freezing at 50%) :( It's no big deal, I can just type the data in, but the sync function was cool...

    On my setup (Mac OS X Lion, using Safari) very upload seems to get stuck at 50% but it eventually comes through. Maybe just let it sit there for a while, come back after your shower and see if it's done? It takes a few minutes on my machine.
