I realize this type of subject has been addressessed hundreds of times, but after a few hours I still can't seem to get my new Christmas present (Garmin Forerunner 305) to be recognized my RunningAHEAD using my iMac via Safari or Firefox. However, the device is recognized using eihter Browser and the Garmin Test Page. Are any other Mac users currently having problems?

Platform: Mac OS X 10.6.2

Browsers: Safari 4.0.4 , Firefox 3.5.6

Garmin Communicator v 2.9.1 (<-- If newest version is suspected problems, does anyone know where to find older)

The RunningAHEAD website DOES properly recognize my device when using bootcamp Windows Vista/IE7, so it seems like a RA/Mac problem).

Thanks for any suggestions

Thanks for suggestion, Chris. Unfortunately, it looks like all links at Versiontracker point to the latest (2.9.1), despite descriptions that state otherwise.

Any other Mac users having problems when using all latest software/plug-ins?

I can easily upload my Garmin data via the File Upload option, but it would be nice to use the direct method.

Thanks.

MikMalDaddy,

Here's where you can get the version that's been tested with RA:

I'm having the same issue...And apparently I'm too stupid to figure it out.

Eric, that link takes you to the Garmin website, but it is for this product:

Software Update (SD™ card)

Part Number: 010-00427-02
Suggested Retail Price: $ 29.99 USD

None of the compatible products listed are the Garmin Forerunners.

This is also my Christmas present, and I have been so excited to upload to RA...Somebody help. Also, how do I tell what "Communicator" plug in version I have?

Okay...I followed the link above in this thread and downloaded the Communicator plug-in (it's version 2.9.1)....Things seem to be working now.

Maybe.

Hi, I am using 2.8.3.0 (apparently) with my MBP on Safari 4.0.4 on SL 10.6.2. It's working just fine, so perhaps try this version. Searching for

Garmin Communicator 2.8.3.0

found a few links that might still have it.

As of today (probably earlier in the week, but I hadn't tried), everything is working using latest Garmin plug-in. Since there were no changes made on my end, I'm assuming this is related to the RunningAHEAD Site Upgrades.

Sincere thanks to everyone who took the time to offer suggestions and advice.
