TomTom 930 GO will not connect to TomTom Home

I have read through and followed all the advice given in a similar article on here about a TomTom 720 not connecting to TomTom Home and none of it has worked for me.

I have removed the memory card and tried to connect the TomTom without it.

I have both soft-reset the TomTom and Resent it to factory settings then tried to connect it.

I have downloaded some zipped file from the TomTom website (I think it was called Home images) that once unzipped was supposed to be copied into the TomTom's root menu, but as the TomTom won't seem to connect I can't find the root menu.

PLEASE HELP!! I am trying to connect my TomTom 930 GO to TomTom Home and whenever I open TomTom home it simply says "Device not connected". It was connecting yesterday but today it won't.

Any ideas??

    When you connect the 720 does it show up in my computer? If it does and you try to open the drive and you get a popup saying insert card then the flash drive more than likely has a bad solder connection on the board. Mine had the same symptons. There is a work around by installing a operating system (navcore) and maps onto a SD card. You can use up to a 4 gb. SDHC card. You can get the navcore and maps free from GPS Underground forums. Your 720 will boot from the SD card.

Try to use another computer or another usb port for it. You could also try different usb cable that fit´s into tomtom´s connector.

The postcode information has to be in a folder named ZIP. This can be either on the SD card or as a subfolder of the NAvigator folder in Program Files on your device

SOURCE: Tomtom 930 does not find Iphone 3g bluetooth for connection.

I also had the same problem with the GO720 and the same iphone after a few tries and resetting it connected, but aftera few days of use it stops working again. I do not know if it is a Tom Tom or Iphone softwear problem. Have tried your way will see how it goes!

SOURCE: i have paired my blackberry with my tomtom go 930 ...

I detest cell phones, but here's how I got my wife's BB8100 and BB8800 to connect to my GO930:
1) Press the button with 7 dots in a circular pattern (Menu?);
2) Click "Options";
3) Click "Bluetooth";
4) Click "TomTom GO 930" (yours may differ);
5) Click "Full Menu";
6) Click "Options";
7) Change "Discoverable" to "Yes";
8) Press the button with the curved arrow (Return?);
9) Click "Save";
10) Click the curved-arrow button until the menus are gone.
The TomTom should now be able to connect to the BB.

Had to do something similar on the iPhone 4 before it could connect (haven't found a "Trust" option yet).

My go 720 gps keeps freezing up

try resetting it, if that doesnt work, connect your unit to tomtom home. if you dont have tomtom home, follow the link at the bottom.

To reset your TomTom device, do the following:
  1. Check that the battery is charged properly.
    Charge your device for at least 2 hours before trying to turn it on again. Make sure the charging light on your device is on.

  2. Remove the SD card
    If your device uses an SD card, remove it.

  3. Reset your device.
    Use a straightened paper clip, or something similar, to push the reset button for 15 seconds. See the pictures below for where to find the reset button.

  4. Turn your device on.
    Press the On/off button for at least 5 seconds.

  5. Insert the SD card
    If your device uses an SD card, insert the SD card.

TomTom 930 goes crazy in driving mode!

I had a similar problem and ran a business card around the edge of the screen between the face and the bezel. This seems to have remedied the problem and I have only had to do this twice in the past year. Hope this helps.

Tomtom stuttering

TomTom Home now has a fix which corrects the stuttering problems with the computer voice needed for the 'text to speech' function on the GO720. Simply plug your device into your computer and have it connect with your computer. You should automatically see a large fix available which will correct the problem. Download it as I did, and the problem is corrected.
