activities keep on uploading forever

I have my FR210 for one year and never had any problems uploading, apart from getting he clamp connecting properly to the watch. Now however Garmin Connect sees the watch and starts uploading but this process never finishes. The new activities just keep on uploading. The same for the health data. How to fix this?

    I think I know the answer (I had the same problem)
    The only solution is to RESET the watch. By doing it you delete all activities (those who has already being uploaded and the new ones that are not yet on Garmin web site)

    You can reach me ate Skype shrvax1 and I'll explain what is my understanding to this probem.

    I got the "solution" from a support person in Garmin Support Center

    You could try doing a manual upload on Garmin Connect.
    The Forerunner should appear as a drive on your computer when you plug it in. So open that, then the folder Garmin\Activities. All of your activities should be there, as FIT files, each named with the date.
    So you can copy the files off, and do a manual upload to Garmin Connect.

    You could delete some of the activities off the Forerunner (after taking a backup copy if you want).
    If you have loads of activities stored, it may be running out of memory, and could cause problems with using the Garmin Communicator plugin for uploads.

    I am having the same problems mentioned in all the posts but only since updating to 2.7. Even Manual uploading doesn't work. I keep getting an error message. I have tried everything that has been mentioned above including a master reset. It is all very frustrating. Until I upgraded, I had no issues with my Garmin and I love it. I am starting to think it may be an issue with the update. I really hope Garmin fix it and soon.
