Corrupt files help - I'm on a Mac

Hi there, I have seen quite a lot of support by the Garmin community regarding repairing corrupt files. I just had this issue with my last two rides on my Garmin Edge 520. I'm on a Mac so I can't try the repair tool. Can anyone kindly help?

Please attach the .fit file to this thread. We can take a look to see if it is repairable.

Zip the file, then in a reply post Insert >> Image/video/file >> click Upload >> browse for file >> OK.
Or upload the fit file to a reputable file sharing service, such as OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, make the file public, then paste a link to the file in your post.

hi,

had a look at the provided fit file

the provided fit file contains a tiny part of the file header data and has no activity data

Thanks for your help. First time this has happened to me. The 2 activities are still visible with all the data on my 520 device though..

hi,

had a look at the provided fit files

the provided fit files both contain only a tiny part of the file header data and both have no activity data

time to cleanup the ACTIVITIES folder

what you see is info from a summary that is stored separate from the activity fit file
this has no link with the fit file on the edge
the ride data in the summary kept tracking ok while logging data into the fit file did not happen or ended abruptly
