Forerunner 405 + Mac + Garmin Communicator help (Read 2034 times)

I just a Forerunner 405 and am trying to set it up so I can upload my runs to here. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get Garmin Communicator to install. It goes through the whole process, but when the test page pops up there is nothing there. I've tried on both Safari and Firefox and am completely lost. Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?

I tried that. Still showing up with nothing. I checked and the plug in is definitely installed, but it's not showing up on the test page or when I try to do a GPS import. Kinda frustrating.

Tried firefox. Still couldn't get it to recognize that it's installed. MTA: I'm using Safari 3.2

Has anyone seen the Garmin browser plugin recognize their 405 on a MAC? I can upload my runs from the 405 to Garmin Connect, but I've never seen the browser plugin recognize the ant stick and 405, either for runningAHEAD, or even just to check with the garmin site for updates to the 405 or the ant software. My impression is that garmin does not yet have the browser plugin working with the ant stick/405. Now that there is a 'file upload' capability on the runningAHEAD page, I plan to just manually upload my tcx files in order to get them on runningAHEAD.

As far as I know, the only download that works for the 405 is the direct download to Garmin Connect. It will not work with your browser or RA. That's a Garmin issue, not RA. I didn't know about te 'file upload' capability until you mentioned it, jinitom.Thanks! Garmin is still working on a driver that will be able to do everything we need it to do, so they say. Patience...

Garmin has just updated the Communicator plugin for Mac to version 2.6.4. I has able to upload my run to RA with no problems. The only thing was it uploaded all my runs that were on the device. http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3739

whoa! very nice! For others, here's what mine did the first try. This is on a MAC with a 405, using Safari. I downloaded and installed the latest plugin from Garmin. I let the Garmin Ant Agent upload as usual from the 405 to Garmin Training Center (GTC). There was only one run in the 405, as I had deleted all but today's. While data was being transfered from 405 to the MAC and then from the MAC to GTC, I was looking at the running ahead upload page, wondering at what point it was safe to click the upload button and tell it to upload to RunningAhead. Being impatient, I hit the upload button during the transfer to GTC, and the race was on! The RA upload almost finished, then stopped short. It was apparently grabbing today's file from my 'Pending Uploads' directory, and the file was deleted by the GTC upload before RunningAhead finished getting it. No problem though, because. next, RunningAhead grabbed 98 files from my History directory, which included today's file. When the files were all shown as savable on RunningAhead, I picked the newest one (today's), edited a few things and saved it off.
