- Press MODE + RESET for a moment (the computer will recognize the device)
- Dowload the Firmware from Garmin's website.
- Downgrade Firmware from 2.90 to 2.80. (You are still holding on that UP arrow button!)
- When the update is finished the Forerunner 305 should power on running the Firmware 2.80.
- Let go of the UP arrow button, disconnect the device from USB, connect it again and the computer should recognize it normally
- Update the Firmware to the current version.

if they says its not compatible then switch to 32bit

I've had this problem. First -- and this sounds weird -- use a USB port on the back of your computer. Do NOT use a "secondary" type of USB port, such as an add-on hub, the ports on the front of a desktop machine, ports built into peripherals like a monitor, etc. Apparently, all USB ports are not created equal. Second, make sure you've the freshest Garmin Communicator plugin (which may entail a fresh download/install).

This problem has surfaced yesterday for me after about 18 months of worry-free transfer. Reading the posts seems to have something to do with the cradle. I just took it out and re-seated it and pressed hard. something to do with connection because it has been charging. of course just before I had deleted the workout i had added on the TC. perhaps that helped as well - not sure.

the Gps should be on when you connect to the computer even if the battery is not good
it could be that it overloaded and the fuse burned
I fix the GPS
i am in New York

The Garmin fitness units are unreliable. I don't know the answer but the first place I'd look is in the Motion Based Forum.

This turned out to be corrupt data on my machine. I opened the Garmin traing center, backed up all the courses then deleted them inside the Training centre. I then received from device and all was okay.

Well it is an accumulator instead of a battery so just recharge it.
If the accumulatoris gone I think you have to use the garmin support
