Downloaded new Garmin Express and now 910XT will not sync (?)

Former Member

Garmin Experts -

Would appreciate your help. Synced my 910XT via Garmin Express on 13 Mar 15, no problem (as I do everyday). An update for Garmin Express downloaded late on 13 Mar 15. On 14 Mar 15 I tried to sync my 910XT, but Garmin Express does not see my 910XT (?!). This is not a problem of the data downloading and not populating Garmin Connect.

As it stands now, the data is not making its way from my 910XT to my Mac. My Mac (via Garmin Express) does not see my 910XT (?). Garmin Express says "ANT Stick Not Connected".

Welcome your suggestions. Thanks. Stephen

    I have the same problem. Everything working okay until yesterday.
    Just updated to Garmin Express 4.0.8.0 but I cannot sync.
    It starts to do the data transfer from my 910XT but gets stuck or says is corrupt.
    I tried starting a new activity to make it resync and still no go.
    Tried disconnecting device, restarting device, reloading software etc.

    Typical update error, really frustrating!

    Very disappointed with the Garmin software again.

    So I deleted all old activities and tried a Transfer All activities from the 910XT (this is what worked after the last upgrade failure) and this doesn't work either!

    Guess have to wait for it to reach their attention and another update.......
  • Have you tried the steps here and deleted then reassociated your device with Express? This is often needed after an Express update

    Great. That did the trick. I removed/deleted my 910XT from Garmin Express (4.0.8.0) and 'added a new devise'. Garmin Express was happy to recognize my 910XT and download the pending training sessions and sync it with Garmin Connect. All is well. Thanks.

    Hi, same problem here. I deleted my device and added again, but still no sync. I have the Edge 800.

    :/

    It sounds like there might be some corrupt activity files on the Edge. Please use the FAQ: How do I manually upload data from USB Mass Storage devices to Garmin Connect? to upload the data. You will encounter a corrupt activity file that will not upload. Most likely it is corrupt. Delete or remove the file from the Edge and regular sync should continue.

    I got a new MacBook Air last week, installed Garmin Express on Saturday and my 910 synced just fine Saturday afternoon. Today, I cannot get it to sync. It pairs just fine and is able to discover my 910, but nothing will sync. This is so frustrating! I've tried uninstalling and re-installing multiple times. On my watch, I've turned data transfer off then back on. I've tried manually downloading data by plugging my 910 in, downloading the ANT agent, etc. Nothing will work.

    Please help!

    With the Express program itself, it is very important to use the latest version of the application. First, we suggest to completely uninstall express. You can uninstall this by following the steps below:

    Open Macintosh HD.
    Click on the Applications folder.
    Drag the Garmin Express to the trash.
    You can then reinstall express to ensure you are using the latest version by following the steps below:

    Click http://download.garmin.com/omt/express/B/GarminExpressInstaller.dmg
    Double click the GarminExpress.dmg file
    Double click the Install Garmin Express.pkg file

    Click Install
    Enter your username and password for your Mac
    Click Install Software
    You will now see the program run and install to the computer
    Click Close
    On your desktop, click Go
    Click Applications
    Double click Garmin Express
    I would recommend removing the device, completely closing the application and then reopening it and re-associating the device. This procedure can fix a variety of issues. I have included information below on how to complete that process:

    Click on Tools
    Ensure your device is listed
    Click remove device
    Now that the device has been removed, we will need to close the application.

    Click the Garmin Express icon in the top menu bar (black triangle).
    Click Quit.
    Disconnect the device from the computer.
    Now reopen Garmin Express, reconnect your Garmin device to the computer and follow the onscreen prompts to associate the device to Express.

    You should now be able to use Garmin Express without any issues occurring.

    Are you getting a sync error or is your data just not showing up on Garmin Connect? If you are not getting an error, the activities may just be marked as sent on the watch. To resend your activities:
    • Press MODE (to get to Main Menu)
    • Select History
    • Select Transfer All
